Chapter 160: Treating Long Yue [1]

After finishing their breakfast, Zhang Yuan and Long Xian stood up from the dining table, exchanging a few words before stepping out into the hallway. Not long after, Ming Yuelin and Xue Hua followed them, quietly chatting among themselves.

Speaking with Zhang Yuan for a bit, Long Xian hurriedly left the place and at this time, Jin Wei walked towards him.

"Senior Yuan..."

Hm? Zhang Yuan glanced at her and smiled gently "Wei..."

With a smile, Jin Wei gently nudged at his shoulder "Senior Yuan.. what happened with the Emperor? You are suddenly so friendly and is bowing to him."

Zhang Yuan chuckled lightly, giving a faint nod. "Nothing too serious. The Emperor's daughter is ill, and I'm helping him by treating her. He's just showing his gratitude."

Jin Wei's eyes widened in realization. "His daughter is sick? That explains it." Her playful demeanor faded slightly as she considered the situation. "So because of this... you won't be joining us for sightseeing today, huh?"

Zhang Yuan gave a slow nod, a small smile lingering on his face. "That's right. I need to focus on her treatment. It's more important right now."

Zhang Yuan gave a nod and Jin Wei frowned slightly "Then.. we can also stay here and maybe help? We can go there tomorrow.. the five of us."

At this time, Long Xian hurried there with another woman beside him and that woman had a paper and pen in her hand.

"Master Yuan..."

Zhang Yuan glanced at her and spoke "Now... I will tell you some ingredients and you have to write them down on the paper."

The woman, clearly understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded obediently.

Long Xian, still restless with concern, spotted a tall decorative vase sitting on a nearby stool. He quickly removed the vase and placed the stool in front of the woman.

"Use this as a writing surface," Long Xian said, his fatherly affection evident in his actions. It was clear how much his daughter's condition weighed on him, and his every move was filled with an air of desperation.

The woman, though slightly surprised by the unusual gesture, didn't question it. She placed the paper on the stool and poised her pen, ready to write Zhang Yuan's instructions.

And then, Zhang Yuan began to tell the names of some herbs and liquids that would be needed for medication.

The woman attentively heard his words and wrote them down, as Long Xian also double checked that she was writing the things clearly.

He is still nervous and panicking about the whole situation, praying that this medication should work.

After a few more minutes of listing herbs and rare liquids like 'Crystal Jade Dew' and 'Fire Plum Resin,' Zhang Yuan stopped and took a soft breath.

"These materials can be obtained relatively easily from the Capital's pill shop and the medicinal pavilion," he explained.

Long Xian nodded, his mind racing as he planned to dispatch his servants immediately.

Zhang Yuan, however, wasn't finished. "Now," he continued, "there are a few rarer herbs that will be required for the medication. I'll have to go and retrieve them myself."

Huh? Long Xian was startled to hear this and hurriedly replied "No, Master Yuan.. just tell me the name, and I will send guards to search for those rare herbs."

Zhang Yuan shook his head "That will be time consuming.. I know the exact location of the herbs near the mountain in the Pearl city."

"It should be easy for me, I will return within hours."

Long Xian reluctantly nodded his head and as Zhang Yuan prepared to leave, Jin Wei quickly stopped him "Senior Tian.. I am also coming with you."

Hm? Zhang Yuan glanced at her and raised an eyebrow "Wei?"

His wife... Jin Wei understood the relationship between them and nodded her head "Miss Yu..."

Mei Yu waved her hand "You don't have to be so formal... you can just call me Sister Yu."

Jin Wei nodded her head and a smile appeared on her face seeing that she is friendly "Sister Yu..."

Mei Yu turned to look at Zhang Yuan and asked "My Lord... you returned quickly. Where is Little Sister Yuelin and Hua?"

"They are still in the palace, I came back to fetch some herbs to treat someone."

Mei Yu understood and nodded her head "Ok then, I will also help.."

"Hmm..."

Meanwhile, Jin Wei was quite confused and asked "Sister Yu... you were in the forest till now? because you came after Senior Yuan came."

Still hugging him, Mei Yu replied, "Hm? That's because we live in the summit of this mountain."

Eh? Jin Wei was dumbfounded 'They live in the mountains...? Senior Yuan is powerful and he should surely have a lot of money. Then why?'

'Because he is living in the mountains, he exactly knows where the rare herbs are?'

"Come on, let's not waste time..."

Xue Hua quickly went behind the woman who wrote the materials and spoke "I will also help..."

She then turned to Ming Yuelin "Senior Sister and Sister Zin..."

Ming Yuelin and Chen zin nodded their heads before following Xue Hua to the Medicine pavilion.

Seeing this, Long Xian smiled heartedly and walked back to his daughter's room.

Entering in, he glanced at the blonde-haired woman lying on the bed and his gaze softened "You will... recover soon, dear."

...

With that, the three of them began to collect herbs from the forest that are essential for the treatment.

"Mountain Lotus Root, Silver Blossom Essence, Azure Dew Fern, Red Flame Orchid, Ghost Moon Petal, Golden Serpent Grass, Windspirit Moss, Willow bark..."

Mei Yu kept reading the herbs inside the basket and glanced up at Zhang Yuan "Is this all, My Lord?"

Zhang Yuan gave a nod and took the basket storing it in his storage ring.

With that, he leaned forward pecking her lips softly "Then, I am taking my leave dear, wait for me at home."

Mei Yu smiled softly and nodded her head before flying away from there.

Seeing them being intimate, Jin Wei glanced away in embarrassment.

Zhang Yuan glanced at her and spoke "Shall we leave too?"
