Chapter 86: Hundred Herbs Hall’s Letter (1/2)

“Is there anything that you need this subordinate to do?” Ying Lan understood that once Bai Luochu made up her mind, not even ten bulls could pull her back. What he could do was to help his mistress with anything within his capability. He would ensure that Bai Luochu could execute her plans in the general’s residence without any restraints.

“What you need to do is to manage the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence properly, maintain our information network inside the capital city, and report important information to me at regular intervals. If there are any urgent matters, you can look for me since the guards within the general's residence are useless. If I need anything, I will look for you or get Cai Ling to pass a message.” Bai Luochu understood Ying Lan’s intention but she didn’t need him to do anything right now. In the end, she didn’t give him too many orders.

After a discussion with Ying Lan, Bai Luochu noticed that the sun was already high up in the sky and she knew that she didn’t have a lot of time left. She then executed her movement skill to the limits and took a shortcut to the Hundred Herbs Hall.

The Hundred Herbs Hall was packed with customers as per usual. Bai Luochu randomly looked for a shop attendant and started to list out the medicinal herbs she wanted. Of course she didn’t follow the formula of her poison as she mixed up the sequence when buying the herbs. She asked the shop attendant to place the herbs in separate bags for safe measure.

Although the poison that she wanted to produce was an enhanced and adjusted formula she obtained from the temple, the Hundred Herbs Hall was filled with famed physicians. If anyone exposed the fact that she was going to use the herbs to produce poison, it wouldn’t be good.

Even after Bai Luochu did everything she could, a physician beside her who was carrying out a diagnosis still heard her.

This physician was Elder Li and Pei Qingfeng once asked him for assistance when ‘Divine Physician Bai’ was being slandered. Elder Li initially noticed Bai Luochu because he realized that this young lady had a similar physique to that of Divine Physician Bai. When Bai Luochu listed out the names of the herbs skillfully, Elder Li was even more certain as her voice seemed pretty similar. The herbs she bought were probably enough to brew the world’s number 1 poison. Of course Elder Li knew of the herbs but he had never been able to concoct the poison successfully... It seemed like this person was definitely ‘Divine Physician Bai’.

Elder Li smiled at the person seeking treatment in front of him and spoke apologetically, “Please wait here for a moment. This old man has something urgent to attend to. I seek your forgiveness.”

“Remember, when you reach the Second Prince's residence, just say that Old Physician Li of the Hundred Herbs Hall sent you to deliver the message. They will definitely let you into the residence and you must personally deliver this message to the Second Prince. You don’t need to wait for a reply.”

That attendant nodded and headed out of the Hundred Herbs Hall while rushing towards the Second Prince's residence as he was afraid he might delay Elder Li’s work.

After Bai Luochu settled the bill, she carried the medicinal packages that the shop attendant handed over and rushed back to the residence. She wanted to quickly refine some simple poisons before her uncle and his family came back. She wanted to finish tempering the poison so that she would be able to use it when the situation called for it.

Just as Bai Luochu stepped into the general's residence, Pei Qingfeng also obtained the message sent by Elder Li.

There was only a simple sentence written in it. “The lass is up to no good again. You better watch her closely.”
