The heroine is so cute, she quickly puts on her clothes and lies down

Chapter 116 Confiscation of property and exile 9

"Your Highness, Lord Pei sent a message that the Zhu family has been arranged and he has met Zhu Er. His judgment is that he is barely a useful person."

The second prince stood with his hands behind his back, his scholarly air revealing a hint of weariness that was barely perceptible. On his slightly pale face, there seemed to be a clear glow like the moonlight flowing, gentle as jade, with eyebrows and eyes like paintings.

"What's wrong with the Zhu family?"

The secret guard knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "There is nothing unusual along the way, but the second young lady of the Zhu family's main branch is a little different from ordinary people..."

"Speak." He said lightly, and the fatigue between his brows became even heavier.

The secret guard lowered his head and replied: "According to the accounts of the confiscation of property, only her place was not found with anything, no jewelry, gold or silver, nothing at all. She was so clean as if she knew something in advance. And she actually knew how to use vermilion grass to disguise the scars..."

The second prince was handsome and bright, with eyes as smooth as jade. At this moment, they were slightly shining and looked gentler.

"She also knows about Vermillion Grass?"

"Yes, the second young lady explained this as something she found in a medical book."

The second prince seemed amused.

"Medical books? Interesting."

He had searched medical books for twenty years, but there was no record of the effect of cinnabar grass. He discovered it by chance and had always regarded it as a secret, but she told it out easily.

Also, how did she know in advance that something bad would happen to the Zhu family and hide their valuables in advance?

"What a hidden little fox." The second prince thought about the woman's cunning appearance, her fragrant skin, her clear eyes, and she was an unparalleled beauty.

Such a beauty also has an interesting secret.

"Keep investigating." He smiled gently, but his tone was somewhat unfathomable.

"Yes, Your Highness." The leader of the secret guards responded with fear and retreated.

Bai Lu brought in the lotus cake and placed it on the small table inside the house.

I touched the teapot and found it was at the right temperature, so I brewed some tea and put it on the small table.

"Miss, it's time to get up."

The life of the rich in ancient times was really one of complete ease and luxury. Zhu Yue, who was half asleep and half awake, let Ren Bailu and another new maid, Qiuyu, fiddle with her hair and quickly put on exquisite clothes.

The Zhu family is really like a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. Even after their property was ransacked, they still have the confidence to enjoy themselves.

Zhu Yue looked at the rare treasures in his space that filled a warehouse, and felt that he was still not generous enough.

She is obviously much richer than these people, so why doesn't she have the sense of enjoying herself?

Every time she arrived at the mission world, she just wanted to complete the task quickly and then follow the routine every day. How she lived in the real world was almost the same in the mission world.

I always seem to think that my most important task is to study.

"Bai Lu, is there any new news from the main courtyard?"

"Miss, the main courtyard was very lively this morning. The master and the second wife both went to see a doctor. I heard that their mouths were covered with blisters. The doctor said that they had excessive internal heat and needed to eat vegetarian food for half a year and not eat any meat before they could get better." Bai Lu felt very relieved when she thought of the master's several times scolding the young lady.

"Miss, you didn't see the master's face. It's really terrible."

Zhu Yue took a bite of the lotus cake. It had a dense texture and tasted very similar to the original owner’s memory. It was delicious. She already knew the recipe and would make more later to store it in the space.

"Well, how pitiful." She suppressed the urge to laugh, finished her meal, and drank a sip of tea to rinse her mouth.

"Qiuyu, go to the concierge and ask if you can go out now."

"Yes, miss." Qiuyu agreed and went to the gatehouse.

The house was not settled down in the past few days and was in a mess. Zhu Yue wanted to go out, but was told that it was not possible now because there was no one to arrange it.

In ancient times, young ladies from wealthy families were not completely confined to the outside world when they went out. It was just that going out was very troublesome. They had to travel in a sedan chair, and they had to be accompanied by maids and guards. They also had to cover their faces with a fan, veil or hat when they were outside.

I have to get ready and go out in the morning and be back home before sunset, so I can't stay outside for long.

Zhu Yue sat quietly in the study reading a medical book for a while, and then Qiuyu came back.

"Miss, the concierge said you can go out now."

Zhu Yue's eyes lit up, and he stood up and said, "Let's go out and take a look at Youzhou City."

Wandering casually on the bustling streets, the brilliant sunshine sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls that are everywhere, the protruding eaves, the flying shop signs and flags, the coming and going carriages, the endless stream of pedestrians, and the peaceful and comfortable smiling faces, all of which highlight the wealth and prosperity of the great era.

Zhu Yue just felt that this place was a bit like the Tang Dynasty.

She told the coachman to go to the largest pharmacy in the city.

The carriage stopped and started and finally arrived at Qingfeng Pharmacy.

The furnishings of the drug store are quite unique. As soon as you enter the store, you will see two herringbone counters placed symmetrically on both sides, and a scent of medicine hits you in the face.

Walking inward from the middle aisle, you can see a green bamboo carved screen. On the left side of the screen is the medicine room, and the slightly smaller one on the right is the consultation room.

With the scent of Zen incense wafting in the air and the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, once you step inside, the bustling city outside the museum is no longer a concern.

Smelling the aroma of medicine, Zhu Yue stepped into the pharmacy. She was wearing a veil and followed by two maids. It was obvious that she was a daughter of a wealthy family. The pharmacists who served in the pharmacy were all very discerning people. They stepped forward and asked attentively: "Miss, what do you need?"

The pharmacy mainly sells medicinal herbs, but there are also one or two doctors on duty.

This medicine shop has been open here for more than a hundred years. Zhu Yue took a quick look at the tall and densely packed medicine cabinets and knew that there would be a harvest today.

"Ginseng, cordyceps, natural bezoar, deer antler, bird's nest, bring them all out, I want them all." Thinking of something, Zhu Yue added: "I only want ginseng that is more than ten years old."

The medicine man repeated in surprise and joy: "Are you sure you want them all, Miss?"

Bai Lu and Qiu Yu behind him also showed surprised expressions.

I want to remind the lady that we don’t have that much money with us.

And even if she brought them, she couldn't afford to buy so many precious medicinal herbs with her monthly allowance.

Zhu Yue: "I'm sure, go get it out."

The pharmacist happily called others to go to the warehouse to get them. These top-quality medicinal materials had to be prepared in advance and must be kept in a strict environment to be preserved for a long time.

Bai Lu hesitated and said: "Miss..."

Zhu Yue thought that although she didn’t seem to have much money, it didn’t matter.

Fortunately, the sleeves of ancient clothes were very long, so hands could be kept hidden in the sleeves.

Zhu Yue lowered her eyes slightly, and two glass balls appeared in her sleeves, one was transparent, and the other was filled with bright yellow glitter.

These things cost fifteen yuan each in modern times, but in ancient times, they were considered more precious than glass.

She turned around and whispered, "Come here, both of you."

Bai Lu and Qiu Yu came closer to her, and Zhu Yue took the opportunity to stuff a glass ball into each of them.

The two maids were horrified when they saw it and quickly hid it in their sleeves.

Qiu Yu's voice trembled, "Miss, isn't it too dangerous to take out something this priceless?"

Bai Lu followed up and said, "Miss, let's go back home quickly. I feel uneasy with this thing."

Zhu Yue was calm and composed, with a smile on her face. "You two don't need to stay here anymore. Go to the Treasure Pavilion across the street. Go sell these two things and come back here with the money to pay the bill."

Bai Lu and Qiu Yu looked at her in disbelief.

"Miss, do you want to sell this treasure in exchange for this medicinal material?"
