Yun Jinnian smiled slightly, "I won’t go out. If you want to go, take Tianci for a walk!"
As we are getting closer to Nanjiang, the number of Medical Books I need to review is increasing, and the master who will teach me the Nanjiang language is coming too. I have too many things to do, and going out for fun should be skipped for now!
"Alright, I’ll take Tianci out for a stroll, and you just focus on your reading!"
Chu Yu went to find Han Tianci, and took him out for fun. Along the way, the bond between Chu Yu and Han Tianci had already grown very strong.
Chu Yu was always ready to fulfill his future little brother-in-law’s wishes, and Han Tianci was not a troublemaker. On the contrary, he was sensible, obedient, and understanding, winning the favor of the Hidden Guard and also that of Prince Yanjun and Yuwen Ya.
Once they reached the street, Yuwen Ya pulled Tianci by his shoulder, "Just buy whatever you want later, brother has brought money!"
"Thank you, Seventh Brother!"
Han Tianci responded with a sweet smile.
Chu Yu’s face darkened. His future little brother-in-law was calling his nephew "Seventh Brother"; their relationship was a mess...
However, he was the one deeply involved in his affair with Yun Jinnian, so for now, let Yuwen Ya take a little advantage. There would come a time when he’d repay it tenfold, a hundredfold.
The three of them entered a pharmacy.
The shopkeeper, his assistant, and the in-house doctor all seemed sickly.
Seeing guests arrive, they quickly perked up, "Gentlemen, do you want to see the doctor or get medicine?"
"Get medicine!" Yuwen Ya said and handed over the prescription Yun Jinnian had rewritten.
The shopkeeper took it and after a thorough look, felt that the prescription was risky and tricky.
"Stop dawdling, just grab the medicine as it’s written!" Yuwen Ya interrupted, then told Tianci to look for any medicinal herbs he might want.
Tianci shook his head.
Having seen better at his grandfather’s pharmacy, he didn’t think much of the herbs from this kind of shop.
Once the shopkeeper prepared the medicine, Chu Yu and Yuwen Ya went with Tianci to a jade store. Tianci actually bought several pieces of jade raw materials, none of which had been polished or carved yet.
"What are you buying this for?" Yuwen Ya asked with curiosity.
"To carve for fun when I get back!" Tianci answered casually.
Playing with a piece of jade in his hand.
Yuwen Ya didn’t mind and asked the shopkeeper to bring out more pieces, which he and Tianci sorted through.
Chu Yu, however, sank into contemplation.
According to the Emperor, the Han Family ancestors were renowned master carvers; the imperial seal had to come from the Han Family, otherwise, it wouldn’t be considered legitimate. And the Han Family never got involved in court politics but was a covert operator for the Emperor, handling matters that couldn’t be disclosed publicly.
After a new emperor ascended the throne, people from the Han Family would come to visit. Could it be that this Han Family was the one...
Considering this possibility, Chu Yu’s expression slightly changed.
Since Yun Jinnian was disguised as a man, no one came to seek her company for fun or anything else; therefore, she immersed herself in reading about Nanjiang, until she turned a page that read "Magic Poisonous Insect Technique of Nanjiang."
"The Magic Poisonous Insect Technique of Nanjiang, originating from ancient times, includes curses, shooting at effigies (envy victory), and poisonous insects among others!" Yun Jinnian murmured softly.
"A Poisonous Insect is, in fact, a type of venomous insect. The so-called Magic Poisonous Insect Technique refers to harming people with the toxins from these insects!"
"Method of Magic Poisonous Insect Technique: Place spiders, scorpions, toads, venomous snakes, centipedes, and other venomous creatures into a pot, seal it for ten days, then the one that survives upon opening is the most poisonous and is the top choice for the Poisonous Insect. After breeding it (methods omitted), it finally becomes a Poisonous Insect. Placing its feces in someone’s well or food, the person who consumes it will have insects grow in their belly, becoming weak and slowly dying!"
As Yun Jinnian read, her face slightly shifted, and she stood up swiftly, "Hemei, go and invite Prince Rui over right away!"
