Chapter 122 Only my older brother and I don't study
Jun Ce's nerves suddenly tensed, and a chill crept up his limbs.
Zhai Rongyu, however, did not take it to heart.
She parted her red lips.
A bright yellow talisman, imbued with powerful energy, approached the Mermaid's Tears. The Five Absolute Gu, whose head had just poked out, nearly exploded and quickly retreated.
Jun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, his icy blood regaining its warmth.
Zhai Rongyu scoffed.
With such meager courage, you dare to step into my body?
The talisman was pasted onto the mermaid's tears, completely wrapping them up.
"The Vermilion Bird soars in the light, its divine might spreading within."
"It breathes fire for thousands of feet to ward off misfortune."
"Hurry up as a law!"
The talisman instantly burst into flames, trapping the Five Absolute Gu within the Mermaid's Tears and roasting it until it let out a mournful cry and died.
Zhai Rongyu released the Boundless Divine Tortoise from the cloth bag.
"Turtle, do you want some roasted worms?"
The Boundless Divine Turtle lay on her palm, stuck out its tongue and smacked her lips, then angrily scratched at her palm with its claws.
This woman is really taking it less and less seriously!
It was, after all, an ancient mythical beast!
How could you feed it such a smelly thing!
Zhai Rongyu giggled as it tickled her.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
She put the divine tortoise back into the cloth bag.
Then his eyes sharpened, and he reached out and unleashed his spiritual power, turning the Five Deadly Gu and the Mermaid's Tears into dust.
It's such a pity about these mermaid tears.
Such a precious item is unusable once it comes into contact with the corpse oil of the Five Deadly Gu.
If it is not destroyed, it will become a malevolent object.
Eliminated!
This bug is really bad luck!
Seeing that she was unharmed, Jun Ce went to the other side of the icy bed to check on the Emperor's condition.
"Rong'er, when will my brother wake up?"
The emperor's face was no longer as pale as before.
Zhai Rongyu stood on the other side of the ice bed, lifted the emperor's sleeve, and calmly took his pulse.
The pulse is steady and smooth, but there is some deficiency of Qi and blood.
It seems there's no problem.
She stopped and looked up at Jun Ce, saying, "Your Majesty has been lying down for so long; your body needs time to recover."
"He will need to rest for a while before he wakes up."
"As for when..." Zhai Rong tapped his right knuckles lightly on his side, pondering for a moment, and said, "It could be as short as two days, or as long as half a month."
"It depends on his recovery."
Jun Ce nodded, his handsome brows and bright eyes filled with joy.
It would take no more than half a month, which was already faster than he had imagined.
"Rong'er, thank you for your hard work."
He looked at her with gentle eyes.
Zhai Rongyu felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and hurriedly looked away, her fair neck turning pink.
"I'm going out first."
……
After finding Xue Qingchuan and telling him about her treatment method, Zhai Rongyu went to Zhai Muling's courtyard.
"Sister, I will be leaving the valley today."
Zhai Muling nodded, took her hand, and poured out all her questions from the past few days: "Rong'er, have you encountered any trouble lately?"
"And what about Dad and my brothers? Are they all alright?"
She was somewhat worried, fearing that if Jun Yinghuai couldn't find her, he would take his anger out on them and cause trouble for the Zhai family.
Zhai Rongyu patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, sister."
"Nothing's wrong at home, and I'm fine."
After saying that, he spun around and said, "See, nothing's wrong."
Zhai Muling knew she was trying to comfort her, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.
The better Rong'er treated her, the more guilty she felt.
"It's all my fault for dragging you all down with me," she said, her head bowed.
"Sister, what are you saying!" Zhai Rongyu frowned, pouted slightly, and said with dissatisfaction, "We are family, why are you talking about implicating us?"
She walked over and placed her hands on Zhai Muling's shoulders.
"Father and the others are really alright."
"It's just that Father has been looking for a doctor lately, and he's been so busy he barely has time to breathe."
"A doctor?" Zhai Muling looked up, her face full of confusion. "What doctor?"
"It was Dr. Han who helped my mother during her pregnancy."
Zhai Rongyu didn't intend to hide it from her, so she simply told her what had happened.
"My father and I suspect that my mother's death was not an accident."
Zhai Muling was startled.
"My mother...was she murdered?"
Zhai Rongyu nodded. "Very likely."
"That Doctor Han is a famous physician, but it was Fourth Aunt who recommended him to Mother."
“My father and I suspect that she is involved in my mother’s death.”
"But at this crucial moment, Doctor Han just vanished without a trace." Zhai Rongyu frowned, increasingly convinced that something fishy was going on.
"Fourth Aunt said he had gone back to his hometown to retire, but Father sent people to check his hometown and they couldn't find him at all."
After her initial surprise, Zhai Muling felt that the name seemed somewhat familiar.
"Dr. Han...a master of medicine..."
She abruptly looked up, quickly walked to the bookshelf beside her bed, pulled out a copy of "Explanation of Childbirth Difficulties" from the stacks of medical books, glanced at it, and then said to Zhai Rongyu with a look of surprise and uncertainty:
"Rong'er, come quickly and see if this is the Doctor Han."
Zhai Rongyu walked up to her, leaned closer, and saw the author's name "Han Xing" written in the author's column. His eyes lit up instantly.
"It's really him!"
Wow, he really is a master of science.
[This has even been published as a book!]
"Sister, where did you get this book?"
"It was sent by the Snow Valley Master."
Zhai Muling recalled, "These days, the Valley Master would regularly search for medical books for me from outside the valley."
"Medicine King Valley already has many medical books and classics, so why bring in new ones from outside the valley?"
Zhai Rongyu was somewhat puzzled.
"I...I've seen almost everything..." Zhai Muling lowered her head, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
【What?!】
【(oo?)！】
[Fine, fine... Only my older brother and I in the Zhai family don't study...]
You all have knowledge in your heads...
Zhai Muling bit her lip to suppress a laugh and continued to get down to business: "This batch of medical books was transported from the hometown of the Snow Valley Master's apprentice."
[Just arrived?]
So... Doctor Han is currently at that apprentice's hometown?!
Zhai Rong's almond-shaped eyes lit up.
"Sister, please tell Brother Huaixu that I have to leave first."
Zhai Muling knew she was going to look for someone, so she nodded and placed the medical book in her hand.
"Rong'er, be careful on the road."

Shangshu Mansion.
The second concubine, clutching her handkerchief, waited somewhat shyly at the place where Minister Zhai was bound to pass.
"Guizhi, why hasn't Master come yet?"
I don't know what the master has been busy with these days. It's one thing to not see him in the inner quarters, but now I can't find him in the outer courtyard either.
Guizhi held her breath, rubbed the medicated oil on her temples, and struggled to keep herself from fainting.
"Madam, Master has many official duties to attend to, perhaps we should go back..."
If she stayed any longer, she would be suffocated by the stench...
Not far away, Fourth Aunt walked over.
As she got closer, she pinched her nose in disgust and took a few steps back: "Second sister, what's that smell on you? It stinks."
The second aunt snorted dismissively.
"What do you know?"
"I'm sure the master will like this flavor."
Upon hearing this, the fourth concubine and all the servants burst into laughter.
"Second sister, have you been cursed?"
That idiot, he must have been scammed.
But this is good, it eliminates one of my threats.
Thinking of this, Fourth Aunt was in a great mood.
She turned to her maid and asked, "Fuxiang, tell me, what does it taste like?"
Fu Xiang pinched her nose and said, "If I may be so bold, this smell is not something I like at all. Even a dung beetle would avoid it."
"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter again.
The second concubine's face turned ashen.
Was she really tricked?
Just as he was about to lash out, he saw Butler Zhang walking over in a hurry.
"Butler Zhang, what's the matter that you're so panicked?"
Fourth Aunt called out to him.
Butler Zhang stopped in his tracks, smelled a foul odor, and pinched his nose. "Rumors are flying all over the capital, saying that the Second Miss is a witch! It's causing quite a stir right now!"
"This matter is of great importance, and this old servant is about to report to the master!"
He finished speaking and walked away with a frown on his face.
The second concubine was startled upon hearing this.
A vixen? The Second Young Lady?
She suddenly remembered that Zhai Rongyu's face looked very similar to Madam Zhai's, and her expression instantly turned ugly.
Was I being played by her?!
