Chapter 453: Chapter 424: Seeing a Doctor (Double-Length Chapter)_1
Yan Wenkai and Wentao were worn down by Daohua and ultimately nodded in agreement to take her to meet Xiao Yeyang.
“How are you going to explain this to the family? It’s snowing now, and your mother and grandmother will never agree to let you go out,” Yan Wenkai couldn’t help but gloat.
Daohua gave him a sidelong glance, “That’s none of your business, I have my ways.” After saying this, she took a deep breath and strode towards the old lady.
Yan Wenkai and Wentao watched her whisper a few words in the old lady’s ear, and in a short while, the old lady nodded her head, leaving them both greatly surprised.
When Daohua walked out of the old lady’s room, she couldn’t help but press her palms together and murmured something under her breath. Yan Wenkai leaned in a few steps closer and heard her muttering something about ‘grandma please don’t blame me.’
“Big brother, what are you doing?”
Daohua glared at Yan Wenkai, who was leaning over and eavesdropping on her conversation.
Embarrassed, Yan Wenkai touched his nose and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell grandmother to make her agree so easily to let you go out?”
Daohua: “It’s none of your business. Anyway, when you leave tomorrow morning, I’ll go out with you. Enough with the talk, I need to get ready. Xiao Yeyang is injured, I have to bring him some newly made golden sore medicine.”
The space had only three acres of land and was relatively small, so she harvested the grain, medicinal herbs, tea, and flowers inside according to the seasonal cycle outside.
But she had set aside a plot of dark soil specifically for growing medicinal herbs.
The medicinal plants grown there had been cultivated for several years and were much more potent than those harvested annually.
Ever since the incident when Wu Jingyi was attacked, she had returned and prepared a batch of medicines using those matured herbs.

She didn’t expect that in just a few days, they would come in handy.
Watching Daohua leave quickly, Yan Wenkai pursed his lips and said to Wentao, “This older sister of ours is more nervous about strangers than her own brothers. We finally come back once in a while, and she doesn’t even bother to greet us. What a waste of affection.”
Upon hearing this, Wentao was somewhat speechless and shook his head before turning to enter the old lady’s room.
They had indeed been away for quite some time and should have spent more time with their grandmother and family.
Early the next morning, Daohua left the house together with Yan Wenkai and Wentao.
Once out of the city gates, Daohua had Xiaoliu take the others ahead to Taohua Village.
These people were accustomed to accompanying Daohua on her outings and knew of her decisive nature. Now that she was going on an adventure with the third and fourth masters, they dare not hinder her, so they followed Xiaoliu and took a boat to Taohua Village.
To avoid attracting attention, Daohua and Wang Manman changed into men’s clothes in the carriage and then rode on horseback behind Yan Wenkai and Wentao, heading straight for Huining Sect.
Meanwhile, at the northeast watchtower of Ningmen Pass.
Watching Xiao Yeyang asleep in bed, Wu Jingyi silently withdrew, and upon reaching the door, he said to Defu, “Defu, take good care of the Little Prince.”
Defu nodded, “This servant understands.”
Wu Jingyi looked at the room one more time and said in a low voice, “I will report to the Emperor truthfully about the Little Prince’s tactic involving Jiang Family’s Hidden Guard and the Prince’s Hidden Guard.”
Defu bowed his head and said nothing.
Wu Jingyi didn’t expect a response from Defu; he was simply speaking his thoughts.
Following the search for the gold mine, he had come to see the once haughty and unbridled Little Prince in a new light.
Courageous, meticulous, and willing to take risks.
The first two qualities were still relatively common among the nobility’s children who had received traditional education, but it was rare to find someone with the courage to undertake risks.
It’s just that the wealthier the family, the more they value life, and therefore, less often have the heart to take risks.
As the only legitimate son of the Prince, Xiao Yeyang was willing to risk his own safety, which was truly commendable.
Thinking of the pampered descendants of the Imperial Family in Beijing, Wu Jingyi couldn’t help but sigh again.
If the Prince paid more attention to this son of his, Wu Jingyi thought Xiao Yeyang might not have had to fight so hard.
“I’m off to attend to my duties. Take good care of the Little Prince, and notify me immediately if anything happens.”
Defu bowed, “Farewell to the commander.”
After Wu Jingyi left, Defu quickly entered the room and noticed Xiao Yeyang’s face was a little flushed. He immediately felt his forehead, found he had a fever, and quickly placed a wet cloth on his forehead.
…
Ningmen Pass.
Seeing the imposing and impregnable fortress before her, Daohua was truly awed, “How much manpower, material, and financial resources must have been spent to construct such a pass?”
