Chapter 48 The Life of a Medicine Puppet

In the bedroom of Beifeng Tower in Muyun Mansion,

Jinan, the heavy, bright red curtains were drawn tightly, and the room was deathly silent. Beifeng's long, withered yellow hair was scattered on the pillow, and in the dim red light, her face was pale with a bluish tinge. The bright red brocade quilt was

perfectly , making it hard to believe that a tall and strong body had once been beneath it.

Beifeng's intermittent consciousness flowed: "It's been so long since I heard Wuyue speak... Wuyue, I

told you, I don't ask for your mansion, nor do I ask for immortality, I only ask that you stay by my side... I want to see you so much, I love

to hear you speak..."

Feishuang, dressed in black, sat quietly on the edge of the bed, holding the thin, bony left hand, secretly shedding tears,

and whispered back sobs: "Elder sister, you must hold on, don't forget that we still have a promise..."

There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs outside the door, and Feishuang quickly wiped away the tears on her cheeks. The door creaked open, and Zhaiyue and

Caihong rushed in.

Zhaiyue threw herself into Beifeng's arms, bursting into tears, "Eldest sister, it's only been twenty-odd days, how could you

have become like this, waah..."

After Feishuang and Caihong comforted her, Zhaiyue managed to calm down after a long while, "Third sister, has eldest sister

never been awake?"

Feishuang nodded sadly and said softly, "Yes... Second sister, I have something to attend to and must go first. I'll come back

later to welcome you back."

She nodded to Caihong and hurried away, not wanting anyone to see her like this, not even her closest

sisters.

Zhaiyue turned to Caihong and said softly, "Fourth Sister, I really should have come back a few days earlier. I really want

to see Wuyue. Is he alright?"

Caihong said worriedly, "He's alright, but I'm worried about Eldest Sister's injuries... By the way, Second Sister, Madam might want to talk to you these

next few days . Recently, quite a few banner leaders and deputy banner leaders from the four lower banners have returned to propose marriage. You should be

prepared. Madam's temper has been very bad lately, so you must be tactful in your words and not anger her."

Zhaiyue raised an eyebrow. "I can imagine that too, but don't worry, Fourth Sister, I know what to say

. Thank you for reminding me."

Just as Caihong said, Madam's mood has been extremely bad these past two days. Her face is frighteningly cold, and whoever she sees

deserves to cursed. At best, she'll give them a good scolding; at worst, she'll beat them up, or even execute them!

Li, the highly respected wet nurse in the household, was always treated with utmost respect by the Madam. Yesterday, for some unknown

reason , she had offended the Madam, who, in a fit of rage, grabbed her and threw her into the icy lake. The Madam stood on the shore, cursing and

forbidding Li from swimming ashore!

Even the notoriously wicked eldest daughter, upon hearing the news, felt her mother had gone too far and quickly ordered Li to be pulled from the water

. Out of deep longing for her grandmaster,

and out of affection for her grandmother, the

eldest daughter felt a special connection to familiar old women, especially Li, often thinking of her revered grandmaster – a connection at least deeper than her mother's. In her eyes, her mother should never have treated the kind

old woman who !

The Madam was furious, angrily forbidding the rescue. Fortunately, the group, faced with two evils, chose the lesser and, out of

sympathy for Li, preferred to offend the Madam rather than disobey the eldest daughter. Everyone knew perfectly well that offending the Madam would at worst mean

death, but angering the Eldest Miss would mean even a peaceful death was a pipe dream!

Otherwise, who knew

how long Li Mama would have been soaking in the icy lake? Li Mama possessed profound internal strength, so soaking in the lake for an hour or two wouldn't have been a problem, but she was so heartbroken

, aggrieved, and confused that she caught a severe cold and was still bedridden, feeling incredibly resentful: "

What sins did I commit in my past life to raise such an ungrateful child!"

Everyone in the mansion could only secretly pray: "Amitabha, God protect us, let's not let the Madam see us!"

Because if they were to meet on a narrow path, trying to avoid it would be an even greater sin.

In such a hostile atmosphere, how could anyone be in a good mood?

Since the Eldest Miss had been wrested from her mother's position as the principal wife, the two had reconciled, and she had indeed

become very obedient, no longer disrespecting her mother.

Moreover, she's currently busy training her thousand-plus Tyrannosaurus Rex soldiers and temporarily supervising

the daily training of nearly eight hundred men in the Upper Yellow Banner, keeping her incredibly busy. Even with her four personal maids, Zhenwen and the others, acting as her

orderly, it's still not enough!

As a result, incidents of vandalism and damage to public property within the manor have quickly dropped to zero, and injuries and deaths have returned to

normal levels. Everyone secretly breathed a

sigh

of relief! Of course, this is only true for others; for the Tyrannosaurus Rex soldiers and those in the Upper Yellow Banner who are receiving her training, it's been an agonizing ordeal! This is understandable, though. Since this incredibly energetic and dynamic young lady is no longer harming innocent people or damaging

public property, she's bound to channel her excess energy elsewhere. And right now, it seems to be all directed at

these elite trainees! In

Plum

Blossom Valley, at dusk, the last rays of the setting sun painted the snow-capped peaks to the east crimson, swirling with white clouds

, resembling the celestial palace of the Queen Mother of the West in mythology,

reaching into the clouds. Wuyue still struggled

, adrift in an endless dream. The long night seemed to have no end; he didn't want to wake up and face the unbearable lightness of being,

nor did he want to think about anything else. The cold reality was so merciless, suffocating him, yet he couldn't stop

thinking , couldn't stop contemplating the outcome he utterly couldn't accept!

Sister North Wind, you give so much to others, never asking for anything in return. My demands aren't high either;

I just want you to enjoy a few years of peace and quiet, to see a contented smile on your face. Why is that so difficult? You said you didn't

ask me to give you a grand mansion, fearing it would be too lonely. I'm willing to stay with you for life…

The piercing pain was ever-present, like a nightmare that wouldn't go away… In a daze, he seemed to see an

old immortal standing smiling before him, saying, "Wuyue, let's set off now to heal

Miss Beifeng."

His heart leaped with joy, and he hurriedly led the way. The journey home was so long; he walked and walked, and Muyun Mansion was already

in sight , but he could go no further. His heart was filled with anxiety, yet he couldn't take even a single step!

He simply crawled forward inch by inch on the ground, finally reaching the gates of Muyun Mansion, and shouted hoarsely,

"Sister Beifeng, I'm back with the old immortal!"

However, when he looked back, the old immortal had vanished like the wind. He was frantic, calling out,

"Old immortal, where are you?" But there was no response…

After an unknown amount of time, he vaguely heard Green Velvet's anxious cries: "Young master, wake up!

Waaah … Plum Blossom Fairy, please save him! Waaah…"

But then he faintly heard the Plum Blossom Fairy's clear, cold voice: "He's just suffering from severe pain in his heart. I've already cleared his meridians;

he'll be alright soon."

Wuyue's consciousness returned to reality. However, reality was just as cruel as the dream. "What's the point of waking up? I might as well

just die!" Two streams of tears welled up in his eyes!

Green Velvet exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master is awake! Young Master, open your eyes and look at me!"

Wu Yue wailed and cried, "Green Velvet, just kill me already! I don't want to

live anymore~ What's the point of me waking up! Waaah..."

Green Velvet gripped his hand tightly, wishing she could take away all his pain. "Wu Yue, please don't do this,

waaah... It hurts me so much to see

you like this..." Plum Blossom Fairy said coldly, "A man doesn't easily shed tears. Look at you! You can't even handle a little setback.

What kind of man are you? I'm ashamed of you!"

Wu Yue was furious and gritted his teeth, "You damned Plum Blossom, you brat! It's not your

family who's going to die, of course you can talk like that without feeling the pain! Get lost, I don't want to see you again!"

North Wind had lost all his vitality, and he no longer needed to appease Plum Blossom. In his anger, he couldn't help but hurl insults at her!

Green Velvet was stunned to see him turn on Plum Blossom so quickly!

The Plum Blossom Fairy, however, remained unperturbed, calmly stating, "Who said your sister is going to die? Although my grandfather has

passed away , any injury or illness he could heal, I can heal too. And some he couldn't heal, I can..."

Before she could finish, Wuyue leaped from the bed, prostrating herself at her feet,

kowtowing repeatedly and pleading, "Merciful and compassionate fairy sister, please forgive my rudeness! I

beg you, you must save my sister! I'll give you my whole life—no, even my next life—to be your slave, I

'll do anything!

" Zhong cursed inwardly, "If that brat could cure me, why didn't she say so sooner? She almost made me offend a goddess..."

The Plum Blossom Fairy said calmly, "Very well, I'm short of a medicine boy here. It's a deal. Go back

and bring your sister here. As long as she has a breath left, I'm eighty percent confident I can save her."

Wu Yue was startled and hurriedly said, "My sister's injuries are too severe; she can't withstand the hardship of travel, let alone thousands of miles.

I hope you, Fairy Sister, can accompany us to Jinan Prefecture. She won't last much longer..." He then explained

Bei Feng 's injuries in detail to the Plum Blossom Fairy.

The Plum Blossom Fairy pondered for a long time, remaining silent.

Wu Yue trembled all over, extremely nervous, silently chanting, "Shaking my head doesn't count, nodding does..." He

stared at her anxiously, not daring to interrupt.

Another cup of hot tea's time passed; he felt time was passing so slowly! It was only with great difficulty that she finally

spoke : "Your sister's heart meridian is not broken, but it is blocked by blood stasis. I will use the ancestral method of inserting golden needles into acupoints, which may be able to heal her

injuries..."

Wu Yue could hardly believe his ears! This day was filled with shocks and extreme joys and sorrows, making him

a frightened bird , suffering greatly!

Overjoyed, Wu Yue was about to express her gratitude when the Plum Blossom Fairy continued, "However, when I lived in seclusion in this valley,

I swore a solemn oath before my grandfather that I would never leave the area within three hundred miles of Plum Blossom Valley in this lifetime, unless

..."

Seeing that her hopes were about to be dashed again, Wu Yue hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

The Plum Blossom Fairy said indifferently, "That's none of your business, so don't bother telling me."

"Why?" No matter how much Wu Yue tried to persuade her, using sweet words, threats, and persuasion, appealing to her emotions and

reasoning with her, the Plum Blossom Fairy remained unmoved. She simply said, "Bring the person here and I'll

treat them. I won't take a penny. But if you want me to go to Jinan, no way!"

The two sides were at an impasse.

Having exhausted all other options, Wuyue thought to himself, "Since forcing it is useless, it seems haste makes waste. I

'd better try a persistent, gentle approach, until I win her back! Since she can cure it, there's a good chance of success."

With that thought, he could only shrug and say helplessly, "In that case, I'll fulfill my

promise and become the fairy's medicine attendant. What do you need me to do? Just tell me."

The Plum Blossom Fairy said, "I have a large demand for medicines here, so you'll be responsible for gathering them for me."

Wuyue frowned and said, "There's only one fairy here, why do you need so many herbs?"

The Plum Blossom Fairy said, "I need to make a round of medical consultations within a radius of three hundred li every month, treating many patients,

which naturally consumes a lot of herbs. By the way, in my..." When I go out to make rounds to treat patients, you'll be responsible for carrying my medicine box. Also, now that I'm your

medicine servant, we're practically family

. You don't need to call me Fairy anymore; that's what hunters call me. Just call me Auntie.”

Wu Yue frowned and said, “You… Fairy, it's not appropriate for me to call you Auntie at your age, is it?”

Plum Blossom Fairy glared at him: “I'm thirty-eight. You're just a kid; shouldn't you call me Auntie?”

Wu Yue secretly stuck out his tongue, thinking, “Look at her, she's as beautiful as a celestial being. She shouldn't lie if she wants to take advantage of me!”

He blurted out, “Hehe, I'm thirty-five this year. I just look like a baby. It's

more appropriate to call you Sister Plum Blossom.”

Plum Blossom seemed to dislike talking and was too lazy to argue with him, so she went out on her own.

Only then did Wu Yue have time to look around the room he was in. He saw that it had a thatched roof and rammed earth walls.

The tables, chairs, and wardrobe were all made of rough wood, showing the utmost frugality. The sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking drifted in from outside,

creating a rich rural atmosphere. Looking out the window, a small garden, about two or three zhang square, came into view, its flowers and trees

meticulously trimmed.

The Plum Blossom Fairy was walking through the flower-lined path into the house opposite, which seemed to be her residence.

Wuyue withdrew her gaze and turned back to ask, "Xiaohong, Green Velvet, where do you two live?"

Xiaohong replied, "I live in the first west wing next to the main hall, right next to you. Sister Green Velvet lives in the first

east wing, diagonally opposite me. This is the west wing of the back garden, and the Plum Blossom Fairy lives in the east wing. Her room

has a heated pavilion, which is more spacious than this one."

Wu Yue glanced at the sky outside; it was already late. He asked again, "Does she have any extra rooms?"

Green Velvet glared at him, her voice laced with sarcasm. "There's an empty room on each side of the outer courtyard,

enough for your family members!"

Wu Yue frowned. "Green Velvet, how can you be so heartless? I'm already like this, and you still want to mock me!"

Green Velvet retorted angrily, "Since you're already like this, why are you still thinking about bringing Ji Wushuang and Wu Yuxue in? You

've probably already secretly pledged your lives to them, haven't you?"

The next morning, around dawn, Wu Yue was woken up by the Plum Blossom Fairy and asked to go up the mountain to gather herbs. Since some

herbs could only be found in very distant places, and he had just started this job, he couldn't identify which plants and animals

were medicinal, nor did he know where the various herbs were distributed. Therefore, the Plum Blossom Fairy had to take him up the mountain.

Green Velvet had gotten up even earlier and had already prepared tea and snacks. After helping Wuyue finish washing up and everyone had breakfast, Green

Velvet said to him, "I want to go with you!"

Wuyue shook his head and said, "No need, I can manage on my own."

Green Velvet said anxiously, "You probably don't know how hard it is to gather herbs! This kind of work should be done by me.

Besides , many spiritual herbs grow on cliffs, and climbing up is very dangerous. What if you fall and get hurt?"

Wuyue laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be just as dangerous for you to go up?"

Green Velvet said, "My martial arts are much stronger than yours, and I'm confident I can handle it. Besides, even if I get hurt, it's my own fault. " "

If you get hurt, how can I explain it to Madam and Sister Beifeng?"

Wuyue's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Girl, listen to me and stay in the valley. Don't keep talking back to me!"

Green Velvet raised her head stubbornly and said, "No, I have to go!"

Wuyue slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "You brat, don't try to take advantage of me! Do you think I can't handle

you? When we get back, I'll tell Madam that I don't want such a disobedient girl!"

Being talked back to by a maid in front of Plum Blossom made him feel very embarrassed! She thought bitterly, "From Madam to

Eldest Sister , these women are all so strong-willed. I've had to compromise so many times, it's infuriating enough. Now even this little

girl keeps talking back to me. If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll rebel!"

Green Velvet's eyes reddened, tears welling up, and she said aggrievedly, "You always threaten me with this! I'm

not afraid, I'd rather die in front of you!"

Wuyue's hands trembled with anger. She glanced at Plum Blossom, who was looking at her with schadenfreude, as if she were watching a joke. She became

even more furious and embarrassed. Her mind raced, coming up with many vicious ideas, but

none of them seemed to work on this stubborn girl!

The two glared at each other, neither willing to give in. No one spoke, only heavy breathing filled the air, and the scene was at a stalemate

...

Xiaohong yawned and walked into the dining room, still sleepy. This young lady, who was used to sleeping in, was

awakened by the two arguing and hurried over to see what was going on.

After understanding the situation, she took Green Velvet's hand and advised, "Green Velvet, don't pay attention to him. Go inside and help me wash up

. Just let him go by himself. If you leave too, who will take care of me?

I can't cook or do laundry..." As she spoke, she dragged Green Velvet back to her room, continuing to persuade her along the way.

Xiaohong understood Wuyue's intentions perfectly. She knew he wanted to win over Meihua's heart and thus resolve this deadlock,

which was why she helped him persuade Green Velvet. With her silver tongue, how could Green Velvet not obediently comply?

Meihua looked at Xiaohong's back and sneered, "Look at that! Miss Xiaohong is really capable!

In my opinion, you're not very good at anything, only fit for doing manual labor!"

Wuyue was furious at being laughed at for so long, but dared not refute her. He said sullenly,

"Let's go."

After saying that, he picked up a large cloth bag and left.

Seeing the bundle was quite heavy, Mei Hua, carrying it on his shoulder with some difficulty, asked in surprise,

"We're going to gather herbs, not move house. Why are you carrying so much stuff?"

Wu Yue replied in a muffled voice, "There's rice and flour inside, as well as some vegetables grown in the valley. I have over forty

friends guarding outside the valley. Although there are many birds and beasts in the mountains, I need to stay here for a while. They can't just eat wild game all

the time. Besides, you like small animals so much. If they hunt all the pheasants and rabbits around here, you probably

won't be happy. So I'm delivering some food along the way..."
