Not only did Gu Feiyan need to check the quantity and the type of medicinal herbs, she also needed to make a detailed identification and examination of the quality and authenticity of each medicinal herb. All this work depended on her hands. She had to wait for the medicine to dry out and the wound to stop hurting before she could start her work.

After she finished applying the medicine, she walked towards the window. Seeing this, Jun Jiuchen silently moved away. He clearly wanted to leave, but he suddenly stopped, standing by the window with his back against the wall.

Gu Feiyan opened the half-open window and laid on the windowsill. She raised her head to look at the night sky. She would never expect that Jun Jiuchen was standing next to her, separated by a window.

Tonight was the first day of the month. Although there was no light from the new moon, the stars were bright.

Gu Feiyan looked at the stars in the sky, the corner of her mouth unconsciously curving into a faint arc. She especially liked to look at the stars. She didn't know if it was a habit she had developed since she was young, but she had always liked them since she could still remember.

Master Bai Yi often told her that heavy souls could not reach the heavens. If a person lived a simple life, their soul would become a star after death, shining brightly in the night sky and lighting up the way home for the people they cared about.

Way home?

Did she have a home? Have parents, brothers and sisters?

Master Bai Yi had said that she was picked up, but he didn't know where she came from nor what kind of person she was. Master Bai Yi also said that no matter who she was, he would never abandon her. She had always believed in him, but from the moment he pushed her off the cliff, she knew that he was a big liar and that he didn't want her anymore!

The starry sky of the Profound Realm Continent was no different from the starry sky of the Ice Sea Spiritual Realm. It was also bright and distant, lively and lonely.

Originally in a good mood, Gu Feiyan suddenly felt something was wrong with people. She ignored the pain in her heart and angrily cursed, word by word, while gritting her teeth, "Big, Fat, Liar!"

At this time, Jun Jiuchen was also looking at the starry sky when he suddenly heard Gu Feiyan cursing. He mistakenly thought that Gu Feiyan had discovered him, so he immediately turned around to look. He saw Gu Feiyan’s silhouette in the window, but she did not notice his presence.

For no reason at all, why did this woman suddenly curse? Who was she scolding?

Jun Jiuchen had lied to her, so she might be cursing at him. But he did not feel guilty at all, nor did he mind at all. He raised his head again and looked at the sky full of stars.

Unexpectedly, Gu Feiyan kept muttering, "Liar! Stupid liar! Bastard cheater, hateful cheater …"

She was absolutely a decisive, thunderous person. But when she was depressed, it was easy for her to change her tone. Previously, when she was unhappy, she would bother her master. But now, there was no one to bother about, so she could only mutter to herself.

"Big liar, damn liar, stinky cheater, scoundrel cheater, bastard cheater..."

Gu Feiyan had already whispered this to herself five times, but she didn't know what Jun Jiuchen was feeling. He no longer looked at the stars. He closed his eyes, folded his arms silently, and leaned against the wall. It was extremely quiet.

Was he listening or was he just patiently waiting... Only he himself knew how to endure it.

Gu Feiyan muttered to herself and suddenly stopped. She suddenly thought of another liar, stinky ice-cube.

Today was a good day to be happy about. How can she think of cheaters?

"Deceive me once, I won't believe you guys for the rest of my life!"

Gu Feiyan didn't want to affect her good mood. Seeing that her hands were dried up, she immediately closed the window and started working.

A moment later, Jun Jiuchen murmured, "You guys?"

Besides him, who else had this woman been fooled by?

Jun Jiuchen hadn't left yet. He slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the bright starry sky. He seemed to be thinking about something, but also seemed to be trying very hard to recall something.

Gazing up at the night sky, he silently pondered. This was a mandatory lesson that he had to learn every day. He knew that memories could be erased by others, and habits could not be changed except by himself.

As the night deepened, the originally quiet Prince Jing’s palace grew even quieter, as if everything had fallen asleep. However, the entire imperial city was getting increasingly restless.

The next day, the news of Gu Feiyan being called out by His Highness Prince Jing had spread throughout the entire imperial city. Everyone was discussing this matter, be it in the courtyards or on the streets.

No one dared to rumor about His Highness Prince Jing and Gu Feiyan, so everyone started to discuss about Gu Feiyan's medical skills. Other than Cheng Yifei's battalion who knew that Gu Feiyan's ability was not limited to just the medicine girl's rank, almost everyone thought that Gu Feiyan was a servant who only knew how to select medicinal herbs and make medicine. None of them believed that she had the ability to make medicine in the Prince's palace.

In the end, everyone came to the same conclusion: Prince Jing would only treat Gu Feiyan as a decoration. After three months, Gu Feiyan would definitely be sent back to the Imperial Pharmacy.

There was one person who was extremely excited and happy.

This person was none other than Cheng Yifei. He was just looking for a reason to talk to Princess Huaining. When he heard the news, he ran around the camp excitedly a few times. Although he knew that Gu Feiyan's ability was great, he didn't believe that His Highness Prince Jing would leave her behind. He began to wonder how he could get that person from the Imperial Pharmacy three months from now before Princess Huaining.

He had always liked to stay in the army camp. On that day, he decided to use the excuse of recuperating from his illness to return to the city to stay at the General's Estate. Firstly, it was to find a chance to meet with the little medicine girl. Secondly, it was to make it convenient for the justice courts to investigate about the assassin and for himself to investigate Eunuch Wu in secret. He wanted to see who the person behind Eunuch Wu was for him to dare to plot against him like this!

Jun Jiuchen was one of the people who had instigated this incident, so he didn't care about it at all. As for Gu Feiyan, she paid even less attention to outside affairs, and concentrate on the medicinal herbs.

She did not know that His Highness Prince Jing was in the palace. Every day when she returned to Mingyue residence, she would pay special attention when she passed by the bedroom halls. Unfortunately, every day, she would see the door to the halls closed and the windows to the room shut.

The time of three days was exceptionally fast.

On the evening of the third day, Gu Feiyan had all the ingredients sorted out and prepared a comprehensive list. She was just waiting for Eunuch Man to come for checking and send money.

Xia Xiaoman arrived as promised. Looking at the large medicine cabinets that didn't change at all, he was in a great mood. He rubbed his chin and asked, "Medicine Girl Gu, how about we give you another night?"

Gu Feiyan laughed so hard that her eyes curved into crescents, looking especially harmless. She took out the list from behind her back and handed it over with both hands, "Eunuch Man, please check it. If there's any discrepancy, we can check it on the spot. "

Xia Xiaoman did not believe it. He took out Gu Feiyan's list and read it carefully. He was immediately dumbfounded! The list of items on Gu Feiyan's list was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

Eunuch Man was a meticulous and stingy person. Not to mention the medicinal ingredients he had spent money on, he would even knew if a brick or a blade of grass was lost from Prince Jing's estate. The list in his hand was absolutely correct.

In other words, Gu Feiyan's inventory for the past three days was also completely accurate!

Even the Great Pharmacist Lord Nangong of the imperial pharmacy might not be able to do this, right?

Isn't this little medicine girl full of mystery?
