20 Meeting Him

The streets of the capital were filled with a scene of prosperity and power.

Streets and alleys were crisscrossed and filled with pedestrians. On both sides of the street, there were small booths of varying sizes that were filled with hawkers, shouts, conversations, and all sorts of other sounds. It created a lively scene of the capital city.

The sun hung lazily in the sky. Under its light, even the limestone road shone brightly. The air was warm, making one feel extremely comfortable.

She had never thought that she would have the chance to set foot on the streets again.

Since being imprisoned in the cold palace for eight years, her heart had been dead, and at this moment, her heart that had been silent for a long time was involuntarily infected by the bustling atmosphere.

An Niang followed closely behind Nangong Yue, closely staring at her as if she was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Although Nangong Yue was dazzled by what she saw, but she did not forget her purpose in coming here.

She followed the direction that she remembered and casually walked through several bustling streets, heading towards her real destination.

This was a medicine store located in the center of the capital. It had a very old name, a good location, and a good reputation. Because word of mouth and ears spread, there were endless streams of patients.

Within the medicine store, a few waiters were sorting out the herbs. The herbs that were dried gave off a strong herbal smell, causing Nangong Yue to sniff nostalgically as she thought of her maternal grandfather's home.

Grandfather's house always smelled like this, and unconsciously, she had grown used to and missed the medicinal fragrance.

At the entrance of the medicine store, a doctor dressed in a green robe and wearing a square cloth hat sat behind a square table. He looked young, probably less than thirty.

Sitting across the table from the doctor was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was holding her stomach with one hand and her face was filled with pain. Even her forehead was dripping with sweat.

The young doctor pondered for a moment before withdrawing his right hand from the woman's wrist. It seemed as if he was deep in thought.

"Young Doctor Li," the woman's face was crooked from the pain as she asked with great difficulty, "What's wrong with me?"

"Don't worry, it's just ordinary diarrhea. I'll give you a prescription. Just go in later and get some medicine. " After saying that, Young Doctor Li took a piece of jute paper and began writing, "Gui Zhi, Xian He Grass, Six Divine Comedy, Gan Jiang, Poria Cocos, Earth Yin … Six doses, two doses a day. "

Young Doctor Li was about to put down his pen when a clear voice sounded in his ear. "This prescription of yours is a little inappropriate!"

Young Doctor Li was surprised for a moment, but at the same time, some of the people who heard this also cast curious glances at the little girl who was standing at the side of the table.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for one to be angry at such a cute little face. However, under such circumstances, Young Doctor Li couldn't help but suspect if this little girl had some ulterior motive in coming to ruin the medicine shop.

Seeing the patients in the back queue and the commoners whispering to each other, Doctor Li became even more unhappy and ridiculed, "Where did this kid come from, speaking nonsense!"

Nangong Yue originally didn't plan on pestering him, but An Niang who was by her side couldn't stand being looked down upon by her mistress.

She took a step forward like a warrior, "Since our family's third… Shan'er said that this medicinal formula is inappropriate, so this prescription definitely isn't. " An Niang's trust in Nangong Yue was blind and without conditions. This warmed Nangong Yue's heart.

"Aunt An, there's no need to say too much to him. I'm just giving my opinion." Nangong Yue smiled without a care. She turned around and was about to walk into the medicine store.

Hearing her words, Young Doctor Li became even more suspicious. He grabbed onto Nangong Yue's arm angrily, "Little girl, since you said my prescription is inappropriate, what evidence do you have? If you are unable to explain anything, you are deliberately trying to slander the reputation of our medicinal shop! "

The Li family medicine store had been open for a while, and because doctors were adept at medicine and had a fair price, they were recognized by the commoners. The doctors here were also known as famous doctors.

When Young Doctor Li said this, most of the onlookers felt that this young lady was only eight or nine years old. How could she be skilled in medicine? She must be here to cause trouble.

"You're too rude," An Niang excitedly tried to pull Young Doctor Li away, "Let go of my family's three... "Shan Er!"

Young Doctor Li quickly realized that his actions were inappropriate and quickly let go of Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue didn't say anything for a while. The questioning gazes from the surroundings made her feel displeased. She thought to herself, "As expected, I am too weak. No matter what I say, no one will believe me."

However, Nangong Yue had no interest in proving herself to strangers. She indifferently said, "It's up to you to believe me or not!"

Young Doctor Li's face darkened. He still wanted to say something, but an impatient male voice cut in, "Little girl, are you going to go in or not?" The voice belonged to a young man. It was pleasant to the ear, but it could not hide the impatience in his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an eleven to twelve year old purple-robed youth standing beside them. It was clearly early spring at this moment, and the weather was slightly cold, yet the youth was pretending to have a paper fan in his hand.

Nangong Yue looked at the youth that had suddenly appeared in disbelief. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Rumbling sounds rang in her ears and her surroundings seemed to have been isolated by an invisible barrier. Her pupils constricted. For the first time, she was unable to control her emotions. Her face was as pale as paper.

How could this be?! It was actually him! Why was he here!?

He was Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi was the eldest son of Zhennan Wang. He came from an illustrious background, so he had asked to be conferred the title of Crown Prince as soon as he was born.

When he was fifteen years old, he was sent to capital, and three years later, he left the capital without permission with his whereabouts unknown. Zhennan Wang was furious. He changed the position of his heir and asked the second son to become his successor.

Two years later, Xiao Yi, who had been forgotten by everyone, had returned to the Southern Wilderness. He had barged into the Zhennan's Mansion alone, decapitated his younger brother in front of his father, and then stabbed his father to death.

He had massacred the Zhennan Wang's Mansion and taken control of the Southern Wilderness' forces with the power of thunder.

At that time, Xiao Yi's methods were very cruel. His actions were so brutal that the entire Great Yu Dynasty went into an uproar. The censors all wrote to ask the emperor to apprehend the culprit, as a matter of course.

However, Han Lingfu feared that the culprit might be a heavy soldier, so he had no choice but to give him the title of Southern Guardian King.

After that, Xiao Yi occupied the southern border and became the king. He had no intention of submitting to the Great Yu Dynasty.

At that time, she was willing to cooperate with the ambitious Xiao Yi in order to get revenge. In the end, she had destroyed Han Lingfu's imperial court …

She still remembered the day when Xiao Yi's army attacked the palace and killed everyone they saw. Blood stained the entire palace as well as the sounds of their screams.

She finally understood why Xiao Yi was known as the god of death.

She had not expected to meet him here.
