Chapter 284 Dispensing
on the street.
Wearing a hat, Qingying swayed left and right, happily skipping along the way.
Those idiots really thought she couldn't tell they were watching her.
Haha, you're dumbfounded now!
However, she was able to get out easily thanks to Little Stone for not telling his subordinates that she actually had a background in martial arts.
Okay, it's out now.
She was going to the pharmacy to get some medicinal herbs and prepare a few doses of the medicine she needed.
Sitao frowned as she saw the familiar figure stepping into the pharmacy.
That's Qingying, whom Master ordered Little Stone to keep an eye on. How did she sneak out?
No, she had to go back and tell her master immediately to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Inside the pharmacy.
Yan Yu was purchasing medicinal herbs for her master according to the names on the list.
In the morning, Dingxiang gave her a list and told her to go to different pharmacies to get the necessary items.
Although she wondered why she couldn't buy from the same pharmacy, she did whatever Dingxiang told her to do.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to rise so quickly from a lowly maid to a second-class maid in Qiu Xinyuan.
Looking at the names of the medicines in her hand, Yan Yu asked the pharmacy clerk, "Do you have Seven Phoenix Tail, Wild Reed Grass, or Eight Hundred Fruit?"
The waiter thought the names of the medicinal herbs were somewhat obscure.
"Wait a moment, young lady, let me ask my manager!"
Yan Yu expressed her helplessness in response.
She visited several pharmacies, but many of the medicines on the list were unavailable.
It seems like we can forget about this pharmacy.
Qingying, who was selecting medicinal herbs nearby, felt that the names of the herbs sounded familiar.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a young maidservant standing to the side, eagerly awaiting her arrival.
Although she was puzzled, she remained outwardly calm as she selected the medicinal herbs she needed.
Soon, the pharmacy owner came out.
He looked at the little girl in the turquoise dress with a puzzled expression.
"Young lady, is this all the medicinal herbs you want?"
Upon hearing the innkeeper's question, Yan Yu knew that something was amiss.
The reason she called out three items at once was because many pharmacies in the capital did not have them.
She came here to try her luck. Baicaotang is the largest pharmacy in the capital. If even this place doesn't have it, then she really has no way out.
"Hmm, besides these, there are these..."
Yan Yu handed over the prescription, and the shopkeeper took it and glanced at it only once.
"These medicinal herbs aren't cheap; buying all the herbs here would probably cost this much..."
The shopkeeper gestured a number towards Yan Yu.
This list contains only drugs from Nanzhao, drugs that were banned from circulation by the Great Wei.
Small pharmacies generally cannot obtain all of them; at most, they may only have one or two items.
However, since he was in this business, he naturally had ways to obtain the medicinal herbs she needed.
"Young lady, do you want this price?"
Seeing that Yan Yu remained silent, the shopkeeper didn't know whether she wanted it or not.
Yan Yu was delighted to hear that the shopkeeper could get it for her.
That's good, she no longer has to search everywhere.
"Yes, I want it, as long as you can get it for me..."
Seeing her excited expression, the shopkeeper knew that the deal was probably done.
"Young lady, come in, let's talk inside..."
The shopkeeper waved to her.
Yan Yu hesitated.
She was just buying a few herbs, why did they have to call her inside?
Seeing that she was frightened, the shopkeeper could only whisper, "Miss, the medicines you bought are all forbidden in the Great Wei Dynasty. We can't discuss this here..."
Upon hearing that it was a banned drug, Yan Yu's expression immediately changed.
No wonder she couldn't buy it at other pharmacies, now I understand.
After Yan Yu followed the shopkeeper inside, Qing Ying seemed to be deep in thought.
Then she said to the shop assistant, "Please wrap up these herbs for me."
"okay!"
Rouge Pavilion.
After finding Wu Weiwei, Sitao immediately told her about seeing Qingying at the entrance of the pharmacy.
Wu Weiwei frowned.
How did Little Stone manage to do his job? Why didn't he keep an eye on Qingying?
"Let's go take a look."
By the time Wu Weiwei arrived at the pharmacy with her entourage, Qingying had already left.
Just as she and her entourage were about to leave, they saw Yan Yu carrying medicine as she walked out of Baicaotang.
Wu Weiwei naturally didn't recognize Yanyu; after all, there were so many maids in the Marquis's mansion, how could she possibly remember them all?
Sitao, however, knew Yanyu.
After all, the two of them were brought to the Marquis of Dingguo's residence by the matchmaker in the same batch.
Yan Yu was quite jealous of Wu Weiwei for a while when she learned that Si Tao had been chosen by her.
"Yanyu, what a coincidence, you're here to buy medicine?"
"Silkworm?"
Unexpectedly, Yan Yu encountered Si Tao here, and she felt a little flustered.
Looking at Wu Weiwei standing behind her, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, Miss Wu!"
Yan Yu stepped forward and gave Wu Weiwei a curtsy.
"Get up!"
Looking at the clever little girl in front of her, Wu Weiwei didn't have many thoughts in her mind.
It's just a servant from the Marquis's mansion going out to buy medicine; it doesn't seem like a big deal.
"Sitao, I have other matters to attend to at my residence, so I won't chat with you any longer!"
"Well, go back!"
After Yan Yu left, Wu Weiwei led the group towards where Xiao Shitou and the others lived.
Since Qingying has left the pharmacy, she will eventually have to go back.
On the way, Sitao told Wu Weiwei that Yanyu had been taken in by He Yuyan, a fact she had learned from her former sister.
Yan Yu seemed to be smug about Wu Weiwei being kicked out of the manor by the prince, thinking that Si Tao had followed the wrong master, and secretly clapped her hands in delight.
“Miss, Yan Yu seemed quite nervous just now…”
"nervous?"
After Sitao's reminder, Wu Weiwei seemed to realize it too.
Logically speaking, Yan Yu shouldn't have to bow to her, since she was a concubine who had been sent away by the Crown Prince.
Not to mention that she is also the enemy of her current master.
But she bowed, and did so willingly.
Why? Perhaps she feels guilty!
But why did she feel guilty?
Wu Weiwei thought for a moment and remembered the medicine packet in her hand.
Could there be some ulterior motive behind this medicine packet?
Thinking of this, Wu Weiwei looked at Sitao.
"Sitao, you don't need to come with us to Yunwu Residence. Go to that pharmacy we just visited and check what medicine Yanyu bought..."
"Yes, girl!"
Watching Sitao walk away, Wu Weiwei hurried to Xiaoshitou's place.
Cloud and Mist Residence.
Qingying walked in openly through the courtyard gate.
Seeing Qingying return, Xiaoshitou said angrily, "Qingying, where have you been? We've been waiting for you!"
"What? Didn't you say I was free? I was just going to buy some things!"
Qingying looked at him impatiently.
"Sure, I didn't say you couldn't, but didn't I tell you yesterday that this period is crucial, and you shouldn't go out unless necessary..."
"What is the important period?"
Qingying glanced sideways at the small stone.
"This……"
His employer instructed him to keep this a secret; how should he tell her?
"He Yuyan is trying to find an antidote. If you go out and are seen by the young master's men, wouldn't you be in danger?"
