Ning Chen didn't know how to explain himself. He could only helplessly reply," I fell and became disabled."
The shopkeeper frowned and quickly grabbed the former's arm. After taking his pulse, his expression became uglier and uglier.
"Can he be saved?"
Ning Chen chuckled and asked.
"Don't talk crazy."
The shopkeeper frowned and reprimanded. His internal organs were injured, and even his heart vessels were injured. He could be saved, but it was indeed very troublesome.
Ning Chen didn't mind and smiled," My injury isn't urgent. It's been a long time. You can take Miss Ling's pulse first."
Only then did the shopkeeper notice the woman behind Ning Chen. His expression couldn't help but become a little strange. Every time this kid came, he would bring a different woman, and each one was more beautiful than the last.
Ning Chen didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking, but seeing this strange smile, he could guess.
"Coincidentally."
Ning Chen opened his mouth to explain. This shopkeeper was a little disrespectful. He was already so old, but his thoughts were still so bold.
"Haha!"
The shopkeeper smiled knowingly, almost saying that he didn't believe it.
Ning Chen didn't explain further and rolled his eyes at him.
"Miss, this way please."
The shopkeeper politely extended his hand and ignored Ning Chen. Instead, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said.
Yue Ling listened to the shopkeeper's arrangements and walked to the front of the consultation table in the hall. She covered her mouth and coughed a few times before stretching out her left hand.
The shopkeeper placed his hand on the woman's wrist. After a long time, he frowned again.
"How is it?"
Ning Chen turned his wheelchair forward and asked seriously.
He could tell that Yue Ling's health was not good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way to the Imperial City to seek a doctor.
"Young Lady must be prepared."
The shopkeeper sighed softly and said tactfully.
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Yue Ling's expression did not change much. She was already used to it, so there was nothing to be disappointed about.
" How much time do I have?" Yue Ling asked softly.
" At most a year," the shopkeeper answered honestly.
Yue Ling frowned but did not say anything. She was very clear about her body. The one year the shopkeeper had mentioned was already the longest time.
Over the years, she had seen countless doctors and taken countless miraculous pills, but unfortunately, the results were minimal.
"Recently, I received a thousand-year-old blood ginseng king in the pharmacy, but"
Speaking up to this point, the shopkeeper looked at Ning Chen and felt a little awkward. He had originally planned to give this ginseng to this kid.
" Give it to her. I don't have money," Ning Chen poured himself a cup of tea and said lightly.
The thousand-year-old blood ginseng king sounded very expensive. It would be a waste to let him eat it.
" How much silver?" Yue Ling did not decline and asked.
"100,000 taels!"
"Pfft!" Ning Chen spat out the tea in his mouth and asked in disbelief,"How much?"”
" 100,000 taels," the shopkeeper said seriously again.
" Cough, cough." Ning Chen choked on his tea and coughed non-stop. No wonder this old man was so generous back then. He was so happy when he gave him a five taels ingot. It turned out that he had a business of ten thousand taels.
The shopkeeper looked at the woman in front of him and did not continue to speak. His asking price was not expensive. This ginseng king was sold at this price when he received it. Now, he was selling it at the original price because of Ning Chen.
Of course, if Ning Chen wanted to buy it, the amount of silver didn't matter.
The medicine room belonged to the Zhangsun Clan, so the herbs naturally belonged to the Zhangsun Clan. He believed that if Ning Chen was to be compared to a hundred thousand taels of silver, the Empress would definitely not choose the latter.
After Yue Ling heard the price, she did not have any obvious reaction. She nodded and said," Tomorrow, I will order someone to send the silver over. I hope that the shopkeeper can keep this ginseng king for a day."
"Rich man!"
Ning Chen sighed in his heart. Comparing people was infuriating. The total amount of silver he had on him did not exceed 100 taels, and it was after robbing many people.
The shopkeeper thought for a moment, then stood up and walked into the back hall. Not long after, he came out with an exquisite wooden box in his hand.
"Since you and Brother Ning are old friends, you can take this ginseng king first. The silver will be delivered tomorrow."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed over the wooden box in his hand. Ning Chen's eyelids twitched as he watched from the side. One hundred thousand taels…If Yue Ling took the item and ran away, would the shopkeeper chop him to death?
Yue Ling looked at Ning Chen in surprise. She did not expect the latter to have such a big face. One hundred thousand taels was not a small amount. Even she had to send someone to prepare it for a day before it could be delivered.
Ning Chen smiled shyly. He had a good character.
The shopkeeper gave Yue Ling another prescription to consume together with the Blood Ginseng King. As for these medicinal herbs, they were not worth much, so they were all given away.
Ning Chen waited at the side. He was not in a hurry and drank cup after cup of free tea.
In his eyes, Yue Ling was a wonderful person. She didn't force life and death, but she didn't give up either. It really made him look at her in a new light.
After the shopkeeper gave Yue Ling a prescription, he picked up his brush and gave Ning Chen another prescription. There weren't many herbs, but they were all very precious.
"800 taels," the shopkeeper said lightly as he handed the prescription to Ning Chen.
" Cough cough." Ning Chen took the prescription and looked at it for a long time. He pointed at the top of the list of herbs and said unconfidently," This Snow Water Caltrop Flower shouldn't be of much use. Should we remove it?"”
The shopkeeper looked at the former with disdain and said," This is the main ingredient."
“……”
Ning Chen was speechless. He continued to search with his scalp tingling. Then, he pointed at another medicinal herb and probed," Why don't we remove this?”
The disdain in the shopkeeper's eyes grew stronger and stronger. He said in a neutral tone," This is the drug primer. Do as you see fit."
Ning Chen had a headache, so he made up his mind and said," I don't have enough money."
After the shopkeeper returned to the counter, he flicked his abacus and said without looking up," How many do you have?”
Ning Chen took out a small bag from behind his back and poured it out. He counted and said softly," Seventy-five taels."
The shopkeeper tapped the beads a few times and said," I'll leave you five taels. Pay seventy taels. The rest will be recorded."
Ning Chen couldn't bear to part with it, but he had no choice. He took out a small ingot worth five taels of silver with a pained expression and pushed the rest of the silver over.
"Ning Chen owes 730 taels."
The shopkeeper took the account book from the upper right corner of the counter and wrote eight big words neatly on a single page. It was so eye-catching.
Ning Chen's eyelids followed the pen in the shopkeeper's hand, jumping every word. In just a short while, he had already owed such a huge sum of money.
He wasn't a rich man and knew nothing but chopping firewood. How long would he have to pay back the money?
Ning Chen was habitually absent-minded. He didn't even know when Yue Ling had pushed him out of the pharmacy. He was worried about how to earn some money.
As for the bonus in Li 'er's hands, he had never thought of getting it back. He really could not afford to lose this person.
"Are you short of money?"
Behind the wheelchair, Yue Ling spoke softly with a trace of curiosity. She was increasingly unable to understand the youth before her. The latter's thoughts seemed to never be on the same line as the vast majority of people.
"Haha!"
Ning Chen scratched his head in embarrassment. He was afraid of lacking money. Ever since he came to this world, the thing he was most worried about was not having money.
Back when he was in the palace, Zhangsun had cut off all his sources of money and left him with not a single cent. The money for his escape was even sponsored by the shopkeeper, and in the end, it was taken away by Yue Hanyi to pay off the debt.
"Where does Young Master Ning live?"
It was getting late, and Yue Ling wanted to go back to rest. If it wasn't on the way, she was prepared to part ways.
"Lingyan Pavilion," Ning Chen replied.
"Brothel?" A strange look flashed across Yue Ling's beautiful face as she asked.
" En." Ning Chen nodded awkwardly. The two times he met Yue Ling seemed to be related to brothels.
"Let's go."
Yue Ling continued to push the wheelchair. Coincidentally, they lived not far from each other.
When the two of them arrived in front of the Lingyan Pavilion, the sky was already gradually darkening. This piece of land by the Yin Water River was the most prosperous area in the entire Imperial City. Every inch of land was worth an inch of gold. Once night came, there would be more people.
Li 'er stood in front of the Lingyan Pavilion, looking east and west, her little face somewhat anxious. It was already so late, why was that fellow still not back yet?
He couldn't have been taken away by that fierce woman again, right?
Not long after, Yue Ling pushed Ning Chen over. When Li 'er saw it, she immediately walked up fiercely and put her hands on her hips, reprimanding," What time is it? You still know how to come back?"
" Haha!" Ning Chen was even more embarrassed. He should talk back. The other party was a little girl. He should not talk back. To be scolded by a little girl until he did not dare to make a sound, it would simply affect his image in Yue Ling's heart.
In the end, Ning Chen decided to let his image die.
The little girl's artillery fire was very fierce. It went from a drizzle to a downpour, with thunder and lightning. It extinguished the flames of resistance that Ning Chen had just ignited. It was not that our army was too incompetent, but that the enemy was too strong.
Li 'er was a little thirsty after being lectured for a long time. It was only then that she noticed Yue Ling behind Ning Chen, and her little face instantly became extremely strange.
This fellow had only gone out for a short while and had already brought back such a beautiful woman. This was too fast.
While the little girl was resting, Yue Ling finally interjected. Her expression was very interesting as she said," I'm going back."
" See you again." Ning Chen nodded and said goodbye.
After Yue Ling left, Li 'er lowered her head and asked softly," Do eunuchs also like beautiful women?”
“……”
Ning Chen instantly suffered internal injuries and was speechless.
Was he a eunuch? No! No! No!
"You guess."
Ning Chen said gloomily, then turned his wheelchair and walked forward. He had already run out of the palace, but he still couldn't get rid of his identity as a little eunuch. How sad and depressed.
When would he be able to stand on top of the Imperial City and shout towards the sky," I'm not a eunuch!”
Because he was in a bad mood, Ning Chen silently ate two more bowls of rice at night and then went back to his room to rest.
The bustling atmosphere in Lingyan Pavilion lasted until midnight before it gradually quieted down. After midnight, both the guests and the women in the pavilion had returned to their rooms to rest, lingering in love.
The cold night was bleak and cold. The bright moon shone high up in the sky, silently sprinkling a cold waterfall on the ground. The cold winter moon was always exceptionally beautiful. Perhaps it was that coldness that could not be touched that made one's heart flutter.
In the backyard, Ning Chen opened his eyes and turned his wheelchair to the door. His eyes were colder than the moonlight.
At this moment, a sharp sword light tore through the air. It was brighter than the moon and faster than the wind.
Ning Chen retreated into his room and closed the door with a bang.
"Swoosh!"
The sword pierced through the door, but it couldn't pierce Ning Chen who had retreated.
At the same time, a black sword pierced through the door and entered a warm body.
She couldn't see Ning Chen, but Ning Chen saw her because the moonlight outside the door was really bright...
