Just as the carriage stopped in front of the main entrance of the Prince Su Palace, Gu Shiyi opened her eyes and jumped off the carriage, entering the Duke Palace. She walked towards the Yi Ning Courtyard, not caring about the Situ Jing who was far behind him.

Situ Jing's face was full of suspicion. What was going on with Gu Shiyi, was she angry?

His smile was seen by Bai Er, who was hiding far away from him. He could not help but reach out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and at the same time, immediately heaved a sigh of relief. These few days, Situ Jing's mood had been especially bad, the majority of the Bai Yi Pavilion people had already been sent back to the sect by him using all sorts of names, if not for him being sent back for close protection, he would have been reborn again.

Little did he know that right now, the happiest person in Bai Yi Pavilion was Bai San and the others who were ordered to protect Princess Hua-Yang. Not only did they not suffer any anger from the Duke, they were not in any danger of being sent back to the palace. Thinking of this, Bai Yi couldn't help but begin to envy Bai San.

Gu Shiyi entered the Yi Ning Courtyard, and without returning to her main house, she directly entered the Pharmacy Room located at the most corner of the Yi Ning Courtyard that was completed yesterday, and casually locked herself inside.

Seeing the various medicinal ingredients in this room, as well as the Pharmacy Room that completely met the criteria in her heart, the displeasure in Gu Shiyi's heart, was finally relieved.

At the same time, she was also satisfied with Lv Zhu's capabilities. She had only casually said a few words and Lv Zhu had already prepared so many medicinal ingredients for her.

When Situ Jing returned to the dorm, he did not see Gu Shiyi at all. Originally, he had wanted to ask Lv Zhu and the others where Gu Shiyi had gone, but he thought better of it, at this critical juncture, no matter how nervous he was about Gu Shiyi, he could not reveal anything. Shangguan Xianyue was a madman, and he did not wish for Gu Shiyi to be harmed in the slightest.

That night, Situ Jing waited in bed by himself until dawn, while Gu Shiyi concocted pills by himself with Pharmacy Room until dawn.

Just after dawn the next day, Situ Ming's royal decree arrived.

Hearing the content of the imperial edict, everyone was shocked, but only Gu Shiyi remained calm.

The competition was held three days later at the Imperial Jade Garden, and the competition was also divided into three stages: Talent, Riding Shooting and Medical Arts. Seeing the third stage, Gu Shiyi smiled, as she did not know who decided on which stage in the competition, but it seemed that only Situ Jing knew that she had medical skills. Could it be that it was he who said those words, that once she won the competition, she would have to thank him for it.

Since the competition's schedule had been set, after Gu Shiyi finished lunch, she got Lv Zhu to pack a box of rations for her. Then, Gu Shiyi brought the box of rations and dove into the Pharmacy Room once more.

Situ Jing had not seen Gu Shiyi for a few days already, this made him even more anxious. Although he really wanted to know what Gu Shiyi was doing at Pharmacy Room, he couldn't just blatantly go in, it really made him distressed.

"Princess, are we just going to let Gu Shiyi go and wait for the competition to start?"

Dong'er's face was filled with dissatisfaction when she thought about how the princesses, from a young age, could get along well with the wind and rain, yet, they were willing to sacrifice so much for a man. The current her really wanted to carry the princess on her back and kill Gu Shiyi with a single slash.

"Rather than simply killing her, this princess still prefers to ruthlessly trample on her beautiful appearance."

Shangguan Xianyue sneered, she looked just like a fairy, she really wanted to see how ugly Gu Shiyi's face was now that it had been destroyed.

"Princess is wise, but Dong'er can't match up!"

Ever since she was humiliated on the streets by others, she had been forced into a cold palace by Shangguan Xianyue. The one who was currently close to Shangguan Xianyue's side was precisely the Dong'er she had ruthlessly trampled on in the past.

Suddenly, she felt something appear behind her, startling her so much that she overturned the plate in her hands. Just as Gu Shiyi was about to get angry, she suddenly saw a very familiar black clothed person standing in front of her.

"Situ Jing!"

Gu Shiyi let out a light cry, so much that even she herself did not notice the joy in her words.

Situ Jing was a little surprised. When did Gu Shiyi recognize him, but it was good that she recognized him. She didn't need him to find an opportunity to explain.

"Yes, eleven."

After not seeing her for a few days, he missed her a lot.

"Wait, how did you get in? I clearly remember that I locked the door."

Gu Shiyi's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly walked to the side of the door. Looking at the perfectly intact lock, she couldn't help but look above her head.

"Don't worry about this for now. Just what exactly are you refining after locking yourself in the Pharmacy Room for the past few days?"

Situ Jing looked at the terrine on the stage, and the various medicinal ingredients that were divided, as well as the various poisonous bugs and venomous snakes that were placed in the jars. After a long time, he still could not figure out what was going on, Gu Shiyi's method of refining the medicinal pills was indeed different from Sun Jinxing and the others, he did not know which sect she came from, but he knew that he had to ask Sun Jinxing about it another day.

"It's nothing, just some medicine!"

Gu Shiyi waved her hand, and after letting Situ Jing keep a certain distance between him and herself, she began to continue with her work on the medicine.

"Wound medicine? These are all? What are you refining so many wounds for? "

Situ Jing pointed to the other table, the small porcelain bottle placed on top of the table slowly, and became even more confused.

"Your Bai Yi Pavilion's people are always fighting and killing, and blades are ruthless, so this medicine is a must. Moreover, you have so many people, so of course I have to prepare a bit more."

Gu Shiyi did not turn back, she was still focused on concocting the ingredients. What she did not say was that she was afraid that she would lose the competition, so what if Situ Jing got injured and did not get any good medicines?

However, she didn't want to give Situ Qing alone so obviously. She had no choice but to give more pills to Situ Jing so that he could distribute it to everyone.

Hearing this, Situ Jing's nose couldn't help but start to sour. He never thought that the reason Gu Shiyi imprisoned her Pharmacy Room for two days and two nights without sleep was actually for this!
