Zuo Mingshang glanced at the prescription Xin Lin gave her, which reads, three taels of Bear Mint, divide into three portions, decocted once a day with three bowls of water boiled down to one bowl.
There was a reminder added at the end, advising the use of Bear Mint that is at least five years old.
The total cost of the prescription was rely three taels of silver. Could this really cure her back pain?
She had previously consulted the Imperial Physician, which cost her a hundred taels just for the consultation fee.
"Does it really work?"
Zuo Mingshang looked at Master Mo, who was still sound asleep under the Purple Flower Vine, and felt an impulse to wake him up and ask.
But thinking of Master Mo’s quirky temperant, she hesitated.
"Mingshang, why not try it after you return? If it doesn’t work, we’ll co back another ti."
The round-faced female student by her side sneakily glanced at Chu Beiqing, secretly wishing they could visit again.
After the two female students left, no one else ca.
Xin Lin tidied up the small courtyard at the School Clinic, clearing so space.
Just before dusk, Ma Jingtian arrived.
"Little Boss, business at Chu’s Restaurant was good this morning, all the buns sold out. But there were regulars who asked why the buns weren’t as tasty as before. We told them the main chef went back to his hotown."
Ma Jingtian also brought a small cart loaded with Purple Cloud Cabbage and so seeds.
"Little Boss, you bought more vegetable seeds, are you planning to grow so new crops? The brothers are idle anyway, and there’s still space in our backyard, why not grow sothing there too?"
Ma Jingtian looked eager.
Ever since they tasted the Purple Cloud Cabbage which was even better than at, almost everyone from the Water Wraith Gang was thinking of becoming vegetarians.
"You guys start with the cabbage, and don’t cause any trouble."
Xin Lin waved her hand, handed the new cabbage seeds to Ma Jingtian, and sent him back.
She couldn’t tell Ma Jingtian that the backyard of the Chu Mansion was not really a blessed place. The deliciousness of the cabbage was clearly due to the seeds soaked in Jade Pure Spring.
She didn’t feel safe planting more crops in the Chu Mansion while she was not there, in case soone with ulterior motives took note.
It was different at Qingtian Academy. Here, being inconspicuous and with the School Clinic as a cover, she could plant so crops and attribute it to Master Mo if needed.
Xin Lin pushed the cart of cabbage towards the School Clinic.
"Hey, isn’t that our top scorer of the Imperial Examination, Xin Lin?"
A few steps ahead, she saw Sikong Ran and the Third Prince among a group of female students, led by Chu Miaoyun, walking towards her.
Seeing Xin Lin, Chu Miaoyun deliberately called out loudly.
Beside her, Sikong Ran tightened his eyebrows upon seeing Xin Lin but said nothing.
The previous night, after leaving, he had ordered people to inquire about that young lady.
Oddly, even after asking around the entire Qingtian Academy, there was no news of her.
"Tsks, I heard you’ve beco an apprentice at the School Clinic, and even dragged your foolish father along. If you’re having a hard ti, just beg our Father Emperor. Maybe his heart will soften, and he’ll give so silver to your foolish father."
The Third Prince, Long Qingchen, sneered.
Father Emperor had earlier asked about Xin Lin’s situation at Qingtian Academy, which Long Qingchen deliberately concealed.
Just as Long Qingchen’s words fell, there was a loud bang, as soone was flipped head over heels.
A whirlwind-like figure rolled over him. Long Qingchen scread a few tis, hearing the sound of his own ribs cracking!
An egg, even larger than an ostrich egg, fell from the sky.
"Charge... Egg... Charge..."
And there sat Chu Beiqing on the Overlord Egg.
"Xin Lin! How dare you let it out, it dared to charge at this Prince, seize it! I want to roast and eat it!"
Long Qingchen was almost broken apart by the collision, and the people around him hurriedly helped him up.
