20 Meeting Him (1/2)

The streets of the capital were filled with a scene of prosperity and power.

Streets and alleys were crisscrossed and filled with pedestrians. On both sides of the street, there were small booths of varying sizes that were filled with hawkers, shouts, conversations, and all sorts of other sounds. It created a lively scene of the capital city.

The sun hung lazily in the sky. Under its light, even the limestone road shone brightly. The air was warm, making one feel extremely comfortable.

She had never thought that she would have the chance to set foot on the streets again.

Since being imprisoned in the cold palace for eight years, her heart had been dead, and at this moment, her heart that had been silent for a long time was involuntarily infected by the bustling atmosphere.

An Niang followed closely behind Nangong Yue, closely staring at her as if she was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Although Nangong Yue was dazzled by what she saw, but she did not forget her purpose in coming here.

She followed the direction that she remembered and casually walked through several bustling streets, heading towards her real destination.

This was a medicine store located in the center of the capital. It had a very old name, a good location, and a good reputation. Because word of mouth and ears spread, there were endless streams of patients.

Within the medicine store, a few waiters were sorting out the herbs. The herbs that were dried gave off a strong herbal smell, causing Nangong Yue to sniff nostalgically as she thought of her maternal grandfather's home.

Grandfather's house always smelled like this, and unconsciously, she had grown used to and missed the medicinal fragrance.

At the entrance of the medicine store, a doctor dressed in a green robe and wearing a square cloth hat sat behind a square table. He looked young, probably less than thirty.

Sitting across the table from the doctor was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was holding her stomach with one hand and her face was filled with pain. Even her forehead was dripping with sweat.

The young doctor pondered for a moment before withdrawing his right hand from the woman's wrist. It seemed as if he was deep in thought.

”Young Doctor Li,” the woman's face was crooked from the pain as she asked with great difficulty, ”What's wrong with me?”

”Don't worry, it's just ordinary diarrhea. I'll give you a prescription. Just go in later and get some medicine. ” After saying that, Young Doctor Li took a piece of jute paper and began writing, ”Gui Zhi, Xian He Grass, Six Divine Comedy, Gan Jiang, Poria Cocos, Earth Yin … Six doses, two doses a day. ”

Young Doctor Li was about to put down his pen when a clear voice sounded in his ear. ”This prescription of yours is a little inappropriate!”

Young Doctor Li was surprised for a moment, but at the same time, some of the people who heard this also cast curious glances at the little girl who was standing at the side of the table.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for one to be angry at such a cute little face. However, under such circumstances, Young Doctor Li couldn't help but suspect if this little girl had some ulterior motive in coming to ruin the medicine shop.

Seeing the patients in the back queue and the commoners whispering to each other, Doctor Li became even more unhappy and ridiculed, ”Where did this kid come from, speaking nonsense!”

Nangong Yue originally didn't plan on pestering him, but An Niang who was by her side couldn't stand being looked down upon by her mistress.

She took a step forward like a warrior, ”Since our family's third… Shan'er said that this medicinal formula is inappropriate, so this prescription definitely isn't. ” An Niang's trust in Nangong Yue was blind and without conditions. This warmed Nangong Yue's heart.

”Aunt An, there's no need to say too much to him. I'm just giving my opinion.” Nangong Yue smiled without a care. She turned around and was about to walk into the medicine store.

Hearing her words, Young Doctor Li became even more suspicious. He grabbed onto Nangong Yue's arm angrily, ”Little girl, since you said my prescription is inappropriate, what evidence do you have? If you are unable to explain anything, you are deliberately trying to slander the reputation of our medicinal shop! ”
