"Yes, yes, girl, just ask, I'm just a grassroots doctor, I won't say anything nonsense."
Yu Nianchu pushed the silver ingot over and said calmly, "How much do you know about poisons like Gelsemium?"
The old doctor was unambiguous and immediately stated the characteristics of the poison, including the number of months it would take to bloom and bear fruit, as if he was endorsing it.
"However, this poison is not common. It mainly grows in the humid south. I am afraid that even if I search the entire capital, I will not be able to find a few strains."
Originally, he wanted to ask why the little girl wanted to inquire about this thing, but thinking about what the girl said just now about organizing a funeral for him, he didn't dare to ask.
Yu Nianchu listened carefully, observing the old doctor's expression.
He didn't lie.
"Then, sir, do you know who in the entire capital has this kind of poison in their hands?"
"Or, when did this poison appear in the capital?"
This statement stumped the old doctor.
He shook his head and let out a long sigh, "Miss, I am just an ordinary doctor. I have no power and no connections. I really have no comment on your two questions."
Yu Nianchu's pink fingertips tapped on the table, making the old doctor a little scared.
But Yu Nianchu didn't blame him, but took out another ingot of silver and stretched out his wrist.
"I'm always dizzy these days. Take my pulse and prescribe a prescription."
"As for the money, it should be used as medical expenses."
This money was equivalent to the old doctor's medical expenses for a year. He was filled with gratitude and quickly prescribed medicine for Yu Nianchu.
"Miss, you are just too weak. You need to eat more nourishing food, and don't work too hard."
Yu Nianchu agreed one by one, and just as she was about to leave, the old doctor suddenly stopped her.
"By the way, miss! Although I don't know what you asked just now, there is a place where you can try it."
"where?"
The old doctor smiled and said three words, "Tianhuan Pavilion~"
Yu Nianchu had never heard of this place, so the old doctor had to explain further.
"Tianhuan Pavilion is a favorite place for dignitaries. It is a brothel in name, but in fact——"
He looked around cautiously, making sure that no one else was around before speaking again.
"Actually, the master of Tianhuan Pavilion is an information dealer!"
"As long as you give him enough money, he can answer anything!"
"Of course. I'm poor and not lucky enough to go there, but that's what everyone else says."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ayun had already returned with two bunches of crystal clear candied haws.
Yu Nianchu quickly ended the conversation between the two, "Okay, I understand. I will take care of it. Thank you doctor."
Ayun was a little confused. How could he just buy a candied haws and get the medicine ready?
Yu Nianchu still had the medicine in his hand, so Ayun quickly took it and followed the young lady out of the hospital.
"Hey, miss, why is it so fast? What does the doctor say, is there something serious?"
Yu Nianchu shook his head, "It doesn't matter, let me take more supplements."
She tore off the outer layer of the candied haws and stuffed it into A-Yun's mouth, and then started making the second one.
The sweet and sour hawthorn coated in syrup was very appetizing. Yu Nianchu just took a bite and his originally depressed mood felt much better.
But, where is that Tianhuan Pavilion...
How could she get in without suspicion?
Just as he was thinking about it, Ayun quickly patted Yu Nianchu's shoulder and pointed not far away.
"Miss, look, isn't that King Chengan? Should we avoid it?"
Yu Nianchu looked in that direction, and it seemed that it was really...
I had just tricked him in the palace last time. Although I don't know why he didn't pursue it, but now I really should stay away.
She took Ayun's hand and trotted away from that location without saying a word, without being noticed at all.
Not far away, King Chengan was still walking gracefully on the road. He looked at the white snow on the branches, and Yu Nianchu's beautiful face instantly appeared in his mind.
"Tsk, why do you look so good?"
The guard on the side was a little stunned, "Ah? What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
Xie Zhun rolled his eyes at the guard and added, "I said it's time to bring some greeting gifts and pay a visit to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion."
The guard scratched his head and expressed his incomprehension, "But didn't you just say that you were going to Tianhuan Pavilion to find Miss Lan'er?"
Xie Zhun suddenly realized, "Yes, Lan'er has been waiting for me for a long time."
"But since I've been waiting for so long, I don't mind waiting a little longer."
"Go to Dingyuan Hou Mansion first, and then go to Lan'er in the evening, just in time to spend the night."
…
Yu Nianchu pulled Ayun and kept running. During this period, a group of people suddenly rode past. She failed to hold Ayun's hand firmly, and the two of them were separated by the commotion.
Yu Nianchu sat down on the ground. The candied haws was trampled to pieces, and even the hairpin on his head fell off.
Realizing that someone had fallen, the woman in Yipan quickly subdued Yu Nianchu.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I was scared by the cavalry just now, so I bumped into you. Are you not hurt?"
Yu Nianchu shook his head and held the curtain hat on his head slightly.
"It's okay, thank you."
As she said that, she looked around, looking for Ayun, but the scene was too chaotic. There were men and women everywhere, and she couldn't see Ayun.
"Hey, little girl, please stop pushing up, you're going to fall down again!"
"The cavalry team in Tianhuan Pavilion is the most arrogant today, and we can't afford to offend them!" said the woman who had just helped Yu Nianchu up.
Yu Nianchu thought to himself, what is missing really comes from...
She quickly turned to the woman and asked, "But didn't the imperial court explicitly prohibit riding horses on the street? Are they still a horse team and no one is holding them accountable?"
The woman sighed and shook her head, with uncontrollable complaints in her eyes.
"Who dares? The people Tianhuan Pavilion receives are all important officials of the imperial court. This nepotism cannot be disturbed by anyone."
"It is said that even King Chengan often spends the night in Tianhuan Pavilion!"
"And their pavilion master is also extremely mysterious. Tianhuan Pavilion has been open for so many years, and no one has seen his true face!"
The more she talked, the more mysterious she became. Yu Nianchu quickly asked, "Then, does Tianhuan Pavilion accept female guests? Do I need my real name?"
The woman blinked in surprise and looked at Yu Nianchu in panic.
"Girl...you don't like women, do you?" She said, quickly covering her chest with her arms, and left Yu Nianchu's side as if she was fleeing.
Yu Nianchu froze on the spot, "..."
The horse team came next, and she was pushed to the corner of the street along with the flow of people. Along the way, Ayun was still not seen.
When he looked up again, the words Tianhuan Pavilion came into view.
The crowded people gathered around, no one dared to come forward, but there was an endless stream of nobles in gorgeous clothes.
Moreover, the gates of Tianhuan Pavilion are so grand today... they are almost as grand as those of the Hou Mansion.
