The young woman breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the young man, and bowed gracefully: "Thank you for saving me, young master. I am deeply grateful." The young man smiled slightly: "It was nothing, please don't mention it." With that, he disappeared into the crowd. "Is there no law left?" The men in black exchanged glances and drew their weapons. Lin Yu, though brave, was outnumbered and quickly injured. Xue Ruanruan couldn't bear it and said, "Fine, I'll go with you, but let him leave first." The men in black agreed. Xue Ruanruan followed the men in black at breakneck speed to a luxurious manor. Entering the hall, she saw a sickly young man lying on a couch. Xue Ruanruan was filled with trepidation as she looked up at him. The sick young man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Xue Ruanruan, and he even gave a weak smile: "You've come." Xue Ruanruan mustered her courage and asked, "Why did you forcibly take a woman from me?" The sickly young master sighed softly, "To be honest, I suffer from a strange illness. I've consulted many renowned doctors, and they all say that only by marrying a woman of pure and virtuous yin can I be cured. I've heard that you, young lady, are destined for such a fate." Xue Ruanruan was startled and was about to refuse when the sickly young master continued, "Don't worry, young lady. If I recover after the marriage, I will not force you to stay in my household and will even give you a large sum of money as a reward. If I unfortunately pass away, I will ensure you a life of comfort and security." Xue Ruanruan fell into deep thought. At this moment, Lin Yu, disregarding any attempts to stop him, rushed into the hall. He stood in front of Xue Ruanruan and said firmly, "I will protect you and will not let you do this marriage to bring good fortune." The sick young master looked at the two of them, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes… It turned out that this young master was suffering from a strange illness, and after searching for renowned doctors to no avail, he heard of Xue Ruanruan's miraculous healing abilities and sent someone to forcibly bring her over. Xue Ruanruan sighed helplessly and could only open her medicine box again, preparing to treat him. After examining him, Xue Ruanruan had a plan in mind. She took out her silver needles and began to administer acupuncture treatment. Just as Xue Ruanruan was concentrating on the acupuncture, a commotion suddenly arose from outside the mansion. It turned out that Lin Yu had secretly run out to find Xue Ruanruan's master. The master's medical skills were superb, and she was quite famous in the area. As soon as the master entered the hall and saw Xue Ruanruan administering acupuncture, her expression changed. "Ruanruan, how could you act so rashly!" Xue Ruanruan stopped what she was doing and hurriedly explained the situation. The master stepped forward and re-examined the sick young master. After a moment, the master frowned deeply. "This illness is not an ordinary strange disease, but rather the result of being poisoned by an extremely insidious poison. The person who administered the poison is highly skilled." Upon hearing this, the sick young master's eyes were filled with despair. "Am I beyond saving?" "Master pondered for a moment, "It's not that there's no way, but the required medicinal herbs are extremely rare." Xue Ruanruan hurriedly said, "Master, no matter how rare they are, we will do our best to find them." The sick young master looked at them gratefully, "If you can cure him, I will definitely reward you handsomely." So, Xue Ruanruan, Lin Yu, and their master embarked on the arduous journey to find the medicinal herbs, while the sick young master anxiously awaited their return at his residence. After several rounds, the young master's complexion had improved considerably. The young master was moved to tears and wanted to reward them handsomely, but Xue Ruanruan only took the consultation fee and took her leave. However, not long after they left the young master's residence, they were ambushed by a group of mysterious people. These people were highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless in their attacks, clearly having come prepared. Xue Ruanruan, Lin Yu, and their master stood back to back, fighting back fiercely. During the battle, Lin Yu was unfortunately injured by an enemy's hidden weapon while protecting Xue Ruanruan. Xue Ruanruan was extremely anxious, taking care of Lin Yu while also dealing with the enemy's attacks. As their strength began to wane, a carriage suddenly sped up, and several skilled warriors jumped out, instantly repelling the mysterious man. It turned out that the recovered young master, knowing they might be in danger, had specially sent people to escort them. The young master sincerely invited them to return to his manor to recuperate, and Xue Ruanruan and the others, deeply grateful, followed. At the manor, to repay their life-saving grace, the young master not only hired the best doctor for Lin Yu but also helped them search for the remaining precious medicinal herbs. With everyone working together, a new hope quietly ignited amidst these difficulties. Xue Ruanruan looked at the elderly man on the bed, whose condition had just improved, and said firmly, "I must stay here to care for this old man; I cannot go with you." The man in black sneered, "It's not up to you." He then stepped forward, attempting to forcibly take Xue Ruanruan away. Xue Ruanruan dodged to the side, several silver needles appearing in her hand without her noticing. As the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the old man on the bed suddenly spoke: "Miss Ruanruan, go ahead, but don't offend others because of me." Xue Ruanruan pondered for a moment, put down her silver needles, and followed the man in black out of the thatched hut. She knew the journey ahead was fraught with uncertainty, but a doctor's heart was compassionate, and perhaps there were many more people ahead who needed her help. The old man swallowed the last mouthful of medicine and let out a long sigh. After a while, it was clear that his breathing gradually stabilized, and his previously pale face regained some color. Xue Ruanruan followed the man in black to the luxurious manor. Upon entering, she found the atmosphere eerie. Although the young man seemed to have recovered, his eyes revealed a cunning glint. "Miss, to be honest, my illness is not an ordinary one," he said, "I was cursed, and the cure requires the heart's blood of a woman of utmost yin purity." Xue Ruanruan was shocked and glared at him angrily: "How could you be so vicious, deceiving me!" The young man sneered: "What does it matter if I use any means necessary to survive?" With that, he signaled his men to attack. Just then, a figure flashed by like a ghost, instantly defeating several of his men. It was Lin Yu; he had been secretly following them all along. Lin Yu shielded Xue Ruanruan behind him and engaged in another fierce battle with the young master's men. The young master, however, seized the opportunity to escape through a secret passage. Xue Ruanruan and Lin Yu gave chase and found him in a secret chamber. The chamber was filled with various strange Gu insect implements. Seeing no way to escape, the young master released several highly poisonous Gu insects. Xue Ruanruan and Lin Yu carefully dealt with them and eventually subdued the young master, forcing him to hand over the method to cure the Gu. A crisis was thus averted, and Xue Ruanruan and Lin Yu left the manor filled with intrigue, continuing their journey of practicing medicine and helping the world. "It's due to poisoning," the young master said. Xue Ruanruan's beautiful face instantly changed color, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment. She couldn't help but cry out, "Who poisoned her?" Her voice was filled with shock and confusion. However, the elegant young man simply smiled slightly, a mysterious curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. He chose to remain silent in response to Xue Ruanruan's question, as if there were some unknown secret hidden within it.
The younger daughter, heartbroken, silently knelt down, picked up the shattered portrait, and tears dripped onto it. "I won't give up, Father," she said firmly. Then, she turned and left, leaving the Left Prime Minister standing there, furious. He knew his daughter's character well; he knew that once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it. The Left Prime Minister decided to take action to stop his daughter and the Regent from developing their relationship further. She remembered the first time she saw the Regent; his tall figure and cold face made her heart race. His eyes possessed a unique charm that irresistibly drew her in. Despite knowing his unattainable status and position, she couldn't suppress her feelings. The Left Prime Minister's face turned pale, then red. After a moment's thought, he decided to go to the palace and impeach the Regent to the Emperor, accusing him of bewitching the Left Prime Minister's daughter and harboring illicit intentions. The Emperor was already wary of...
