Chapter 73: Points for Medicine

"If not, then there is no way to cure him. We can either find someone else who can, or we can only watch His Highness perish."

"Is this the only way?"

Upon hearing the physician beside the Crown Prince speak, Song Miqiu pondered for a moment before nodding.

Then she remembered the small print on the note and couldn't help but add another sentence.

"The cry of the cuckoo is a medicinal ingredient."

Hearing this, the men's faces turned even uglier, but they were not going to give up and immediately ordered the people outside to go out and search.

During this time, Song Miqiu noticed a slight change in the Crown Prince's expression, but she did not say anything, only calmly looking at the side.

A moment later, a figure rushed in.

Why must it be the cuckoo crying?

Is this medicinal herb really that precious?

If we could take it out, wouldn't we be able to exchange it for another sum of money?

With this in mind, Song Miqiu had already made a plan and quietly began to calculate the few points she had left.

Why aren't you answering my question?

"The medication is only suitable for this purpose."

Upon hearing this, the man paused, but ultimately looked at the prince lying on the bed.

Seeing his eyes slightly darting around, she let out an even more helpless sigh and slowly walked out of the house.

But that person was so precious that there was no news of them for an entire day.

"No, His Highness absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble here. Send out a notice that no matter how much gold or silver it costs, you must buy that cuckoo's cry!"

"Yes."

The guards immediately knelt down, then slowly rose and quickly left the city lord's mansion to post notices everywhere.

Since there were no medicinal herbs available, Song Miqiu was respectfully led to a side room to rest temporarily.

"I need to rest. All of you, get out."

"But that's not right..."

Before the maid could finish speaking, Song Miqiu shut her out of the door.

After confirming several times that no one was in the room, she curled up on the bed and quickly searched for the medicinal herb "Zi Gui Ti" in the system.

Upon seeing that the medicinal herbs were not expensive, he exchanged them without hesitation.

The medicinal herbs appeared in his palm the next instant. Song Miqiu thought about the amount of money he could exchange for them, and a smile appeared on his lips.

That way, you can live a life free from worries about food and clothing.

The biggest problem now is to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

But just as she was about to continue searching for other disguise tools, a slight noise suddenly came from inside the room.

Quickly regaining her senses, Song Miqiu made no attempt to flee, instead staring intently at the newcomer.

"Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

“Well done, he didn’t suspect you.”

Since the prince couldn't make a sound, how could he tell that the other person didn't suspect him?

Just as Mingming mentioned the cuckoo's cry, someone rushed into the house.

Judging from the way he and the Crown Prince exchanged glances, you could tell that the two cared deeply for each other; they were either personal guards or people who trusted each other implicitly.

What is that in your hand?

"In my hand? This is definitely a medicinal ingredient. I want to exchange it for some money so that I can have an easier time in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin didn't react much, but his eyes remained fixed on Song Miqiu's hand.

"These medicinal herbs are not something you can obtain easily."

"A coincidence?"

Song Miqiu didn't want him to look at her with that scrutinizing gaze, so she directly shoved the cuckoo's cry into his hand.

As expected, it shut the other person up, but their gaze would still sweep over from time to time.

Compared to what she had just gone through, this was nothing, which gave her time to continue searching for what she needed.

But those options were either too expensive or unsuitable for this era, making it impossible to implement them.

Have you ever thought about what would happen if this thing ended up in your hands?

"Of course I've thought about it, that's why I'm doing this now..."

Song Miqiu realized that she had almost let something slip, so she stopped talking and continued to look through the materials.

Yu Huailin was not about to let the unfinished words go, but he knew that the other party would not tell him if he asked at this time, so he turned his head to look at the well-preserved medicinal herbs in his hand.

The sudden appearance of this plant disrupted his plans, and he had to keep it under his control.

After thinking for a long time, Yu Huailin still looked at Song Miqiu.

"Why don't I do it?"

"You? Aren't you worried about being discovered by the guards from last night?"

But this is indeed a solution, since going out now would inevitably risk being discovered.

Considering the man's attitude and Yu Huailin's earlier behavior, it's highly inappropriate for such a precious medicinal herb to be in the hands of a woman.

Just as she was pondering, she finally found a disguise prop that looked like clay.

"I'll help you disguise yourself first. Tomorrow, take the medicinal herbs to the notice board, and we'll split the profits 80/20?"

"Disguise?"

Yu Huailin glanced at Song Miqiu, but did not refuse. He turned around and exposed his face completely to the other party.

Looking at that profile, she hesitated before glancing at the price of the disguise cream in the system, and instantly wanted to smear that clump of flour onto the other person's face.

But this impulse vanished under the threat of losing his head, and he grabbed his right hand with his left and forced it down.

The next moment, I felt a weight in my arms, turned around, took a few things from the room, and walked into a corner.

"What are you doing?"

"The secret recipe."

The cuckoo's cry was already conspicuous enough; if he were to see the disguise cream as well, there would likely be even bigger trouble.

Yu Huailin remained silent in the face of Song Miqiu's evasion, only slightly turning his head to look in the other direction.

After she prepared the disguise cream according to the instructions and applied it to her face little by little, she began to adjust her facial features so that no one could associate this person with Yu Huailin.

Fortunately, it wasn't a minor adjustment, and it was completed quickly. The next step was to wait for the skin to dry completely and adhere properly.

After finishing the whole cup of tea, Song Miqiu reached out again to make sure the outer layer wouldn't leave any color on her fingers before waking Yu Huailin, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"This mask is reusable. Keep it safe; you might need it again sometime."

"it is good."

He only said that once, and then disappeared from where he came from.

the next day.

According to their plan, Yu Huailin brought the medicinal herbs into the city lord's mansion.

But what Song Miqiu didn't expect was that he brought not just one ingredient, but the other three ingredients, which were sent to the city lord's mansion together.

"This came at just the right time, could it be..."

Before the words were finished, a sharp scream suddenly came from inside the city lord's mansion, startling everyone.

"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness has vomited blood and fainted. Quickly, please summon the renowned physician from yesterday to diagnose him."

Having already heard the noise, Song Miqiu pushed open the door but before she could even see who was in front of her, she was dragged and pulled into the room.

She smelled the blood in the room and immediately understood what was going on. She turned around and asked everyone about the medicinal herbs.

"We've collected everything; you can only tell us the cooking method."

"Just cook it the usual way, quick!"

No one dared to question it, and they immediately handed over all the medicinal herbs to the servants to boil.
