"Do you want to learn refining and making medicine?" Yao Lao twitched his white beard as if somewhat unexpectedly, and looked directly at Yun Zhuiyue with a pair of sharp eyes.
Yun Zhuiyue smiled and did not hide anything, "Yes, I want to learn, and I am very talented in this area!"
"Are you talented?" Yao Lao looked at her suspiciously.
Yun Zhuiyue walked over, enduring the torturous heat, pointing to a pile of medicine bottles in front of Yao Lao and said, "This medicine, if I'm not mistaken, should be extracted and refined from the blood of animals. And this medicine is
It is made from plants ground into powder, and the ingredients here should include Schisandra chinensis, Poria cocos, dry grass, etc."
Yao Lao looked at her in surprise, a little appreciative and a little surprised, "Yes, you are right, it is indeed the case."
Yun Zhuiyue smiled, "Then will you accept me as your apprentice?"
Yao Lao looked at Yun Zhuiyue thoughtfully for a while, and then asked, "Who are you? How come I never knew there was a person like you in the Prince's Mansion?"
Yun Zhuiyue pulled out her sleeves and slightly raised her lips, "You don't leave the pharmacy all day long, so of course you don't know me. I am the new crown princess."
Yao Lao was so shocked that the medicine in his hand almost shook, "The new crown princess?"
"That's right."
"Since you are the Crown Princess, why don't you enjoy yourself in the Crown Prince's Mansion instead of coming to my pharmacy to suffer?" Yao Lao asked.
"I like to study medicine." Yun Zhuiyue looked at Yao Lao, his eyes were as bright as stars, full of wisdom, "Another point, like Yao Lao, I was born out of concern for the prince."
"Concern for the prince?"
"I think you, Mr. Yao, should know that Qu Lan's body has been tortured by many diseases since he was a child. The fact that his body can support him until now should be your credit, Mr. Yao."
Yao Lao nodded, "Yes, His Royal Highness has many diseases in his body. And I have been in this pharmacy and studied the viruses in the Prince for decades, but I can't completely eradicate them, I can only control them. The Prince
Before, I would suffer from cold poison and heat poison every night. In order to help His Highness the Crown Prince sleep well, I developed a drug for drowsiness. After the Prince took the medicine, he could sleep well. Later,
I have also developed an elixir that can restrain cold poison and heat poison. In recent years, although the poison of His Royal Highness cannot be eradicated, it has been controlled. Generally, it will not reoccur again, but as long as the weather is cold and wet,
, this poison will make you twice as painful as before.”
Yun Zhuiyue lowered his head silently, then raised his eyes and asked hesitantly, "Yao Lao, how long have you been staying in this house."
Yao Lao counted his fingers thoughtfully, "Let me calculate... It should be twenty-two years since the prince was born to when he was crowned prince. His Royal Highness should also be twenty-two years old this year."
"Twenty-two years, his poison should be more than ten years old, so you know his poison..."
Before Yun Zhuiyue finished asking, Yao Lao interrupted, "I don't know where His Highness the Prince's poison came from. But I know it must be man-made."
"Then do you know who poisoned him?" Yun Zhuiyue asked directly, and then frowned, "He was just a child at the time, who was so cruel to plant the poison on him?" Thinking of him who was just a child,
I was suffering from the pain of being poisoned, and my heart was torn for some reason.
Yao Lao twirled his beard and said, "Baoqian, I can't answer this question for you. In this palace, there are dangers everywhere, and disasters come from the mouth. If you really want to understand the prince, as long as you work hard, you will get what you want.
Results and answers.”
Yun Zhuiyue did not force herself, "Okay, I will work hard. Yao Lao, I hope you accept me as your disciple." She made the request directly. This was the real purpose of her coming here.
Yao Lao thought for a while and considered, "Do you really want to learn how to make medicine?"
"That's right."
"Just because of the prince's poison?"
"That's right!"
Yao Lao looked at her thoughtfully for a while and then said, "Okay, I promise you, I will teach you everything I have learned in this life. However, it will involve a lot of hardship, and I'm afraid you won't be able to survive it."
Yun Zhuiyue laughed to herself, "There's nothing I can't survive." Thinking back to modern times, she had been through wind and rain, and had been through hell many times, let alone just making a medicine.

At night, there is silence everywhere.
A black figure rushed out of the Prince's Mansion.
After a while, this figure came outside the pharmacy.
In the pharmacy, Yao Lao was still sleeping next to the stove. Although he was asleep, he was very alert to the arrival of someone. As if he knew that the person coming had no ill intentions, he slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Are you here?"
"Master, I want to ask you, why did she come to you?" At night, that black figure was like the king of the night, with the aura of Shura, and his cold and sharp eyes, which seemed to be able to kill people invisible.
Yao Lao sat up slowly and glanced at the visitor lazily, "What else can you do here, just ask me to accept her as my disciple. By the way, I like this little girl, but she really treats you. She thinks you are really
You are suffering from both cold and heat poisons, so you probably want to learn something from me, study the source of your poison, and detoxify you in the future."
"Oh, really?" The man's voice was soft, hiding an infinite smile, and he folded his hands in front of his chest, "Then you promised her?"
"Of course, I like this little girl's resilience. Besides, I think she is really talented. I would like to accept her as my disciple. Why not? It will be a good idea to pass on my mantle in the future."
Yao Lao laughed again, yawned, and gave Qu Lan a meaningful look after dressing up, "I have a hunch that the future palace will become unstable because of her. The future of this corrupt dynasty will also become unstable because of her.
And the change will be closely related to her."

On the second day, Wei Yu prepared a carriage. Yun Zhuiyue and Qu Lan took the carriage into the palace.
Sitting in the spacious carriage, Qu Lan seemed very sleepy. As soon as his eyelids closed, he leaned his head on Yun Zhuiyue, "Zhuiyue, I'm tired. Let's sleep on your body for a while."
Yun Zhuiyue frowned, "I'm a woman, you have the nerve to sleep on me?"
"Zhui Yue said he would protect me." His voice was low, like a whimper.
Yun Zhuiyue couldn't help but twitched, and finally understood that a promise made is a debt owed. She put her arms around his neck and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, go to sleep. Little beauty, sister
I will protect you."
Qu Lan curled his lips, smiled, quietly closed his eyes in her arms, and really fell asleep.
*
Immediately, he jolted and entered the palace.
Wei Yu took out the prince's token and let it go smoothly.
Yun Zhuiyue pushed Qu Lan awake, "Qu Lan, it's time to wake up, we're here."
Qu Lan left her body, opened his eyes, smiled softly, "Are we here?"
Yun Zhuiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes and pushed him, "You haven't woken up from the dream yet?"
"Yes, in the dream, I married a bride." Qu Lan said with a smile.
