Watching Li and Feng Yan return to the house, Tang Sanxue smiled and looked at Wei Xingzhen, "Mr. Wei, it's so cold this day. Do you think we should talk about the serious business in another place?"

Wei Xingzhen shook his head, "Just talk in this yard."

Tang Sanxue's smile slightly condensed in the bleak autumn wind, "... Then let's go to the side room next to you? It's also in this yard."

Wei Xingzhen's Yu Guang locked Si Yongzhai's door tightly.

"No, Eunuch Tang," he whispered, "or you can go into the main house with me, we will talk in the living room inside, or we will stay here to make the conversation clear."

Tang Sanxue's fist in his sleeves was clenched.

——Is this Wei Xingzhen specializing in bullying people or what?

It was obvious that His Majesty specifically told him to avoid others, and he went into the house and said - who could guarantee that Li next door would hear him or not? Not to mention that there seemed to be other outsiders in the house...

"What is your majesty's decree tonight? Eunuch Tang, please tell me." Wei Xingzhen completely ignored Tang Sanxue's face. He looked at Feng Yan's house intentionally or unintentionally again, "I have a lot of other things to do tonight."

...

Inside the house, Li walked to Feng Yuandao and told him about what had just happened. Feng Yuandao breathed a sigh of relief, then covered his body with a blanket and lay down flat.

Li took Feng Yan to the living room again.

"Eunuch Tang comes here, you can't let him go back empty-handed." Li said softly, "In addition to the silver gifts you usually give to the palace servants, you also have to prepare some more gifts. Mom goes out for a while, and you are here to watch your father."

"No need..." Feng Yan said with a smile, "A person like Tang Sanxue can't ride on us."

"You, I used to say that you are clear about it, but you almost get angry when you encounter these things," Li chuckled softly, "It's hard to guard against villains. What you mean is people like Tang Sanxue. You don't expect them to help you when you encounter something. Maintaining a good relationship on weekdays is nothing more than to make them less secretly stumbling."

Feng Yan smiled - this is the mother's survival wisdom, let her go.

After Li left, Feng Yan lifted the curtain alone and stepped into the inner room again.

Mei Shier didn't even look up, but knew that Feng Yan was back alone.

She stood at the window from a distance, looking at the night outside through the gap in the window, without saying a word.

Mei Shier twisted the silver needle in his hand and looked at Feng Yuandao's drooping calves expressionlessly. He heard a gust of autumn wind passing outside the window, and several crows shouted in the wind.

It’s the third hour of You, and it’s here.

Mei Shier suddenly turned around and said, "...Can you please help me?"

"Ah." Feng Yan came to her senses and looked at Mei Shier, "Please tell me."

"Just just now, my uncle said he wanted to recognize the herbs I brought before. Can the young master help me bring the remaining medicinal materials?"

"Yes," Feng Yan nodded and looked at Feng Yuan and said, "Where are the remaining medicines?"

Feng Yuandao frowned and thought for a while, "It should... be in the house where I collect books next to me. Yan'er see if it's on the second bookshelf?"

Feng Yan turned around and went to look for medicine.

After a while, her voice came from the next door, "No, think about it again?"

"That's in the cabinet under the window to the south." Feng Yuandao shouted with his neck tampered.

However, soon, Feng Yan replied, "It's still not."

Feng Yuandao thought for a long time, "————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

This time, after a long time, no sound came from the next door. Feng Yuandao shouted a few times without responding. He was a little surprised and looked at Mei Shier, "Mr. Mei, go and have a look?"

Mei Shier lowered his eyes and replied "Okay", and got up and walked towards the room next to him.

To be honest, he didn't know what Feng Yan was doing in another room at this moment, and why there was no sound suddenly.

But no matter what happened next, he wouldn't be surprised.

For the first time in so many years, he encountered the result of "no taboos" in Ayu's divination.

——So this is no taboo?

Everything around him was helping him clear the obstacles...

He had nothing to do, so he took advantage of the right time, place, and people.

Standing in front of the empty door of the study room next door, Mei Shier stopped briefly.

He lowered his head and took off the gloves from his right hand, and gently moved his five fingers.

Mei Shier held his breath and focused, reached out and pushed open the door.

Feng Yan stood alone at the table, with the unwritten medicine bag on the table in front of her. Feng Yan was half open and was concentrating on smelling the smell of one of the herbs.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Feng Yan looked up.

"What are you doing?" Mei Shier's expression was calm, "Uncle Feng is calling you."

"Sorry, I didn't hear it..." Feng Yan folded the medicine bag again, then walked to Mei Shier's side, "I would like to ask Mr. Mei, is this medicine..."

Mei Shier looked at Feng Yan's palm that stretched into front of her. There was a curly dark green vine peel on her palm.

He did not answer, but just whispered, "Why are you interested in this medicine?"

"The smell of this herb makes me feel a sense of indescribable familiarity..." Feng Yan said softly, "I don't know where I have seen it."

Mei Shier raised his left hand and pinched the vine peel in Feng Yan's palm in his hand.

"This is Shanxi, also known as Shanquanke, which is a herb that detoxifies... Have you ever heard of the story of the mermaid crying beads?"

"There are mermaids in the South China Sea, and the water lives like fish..." Feng Yan said softly, "Is it this 'mermaid'?"

Mei Shi Er nodded, "Yes."

He put Shanxi back into the medicine bag in Feng Yan's hand.

"It is said that when the mermaids cry sadly, the tears they shed will turn into pearls, and each one is worthless. So a fisherman took the baby who had just died at night and threw the child's corpse in the sea where the mermaids appeared. Soon the mermaids would hold the child and float back to the surface. When they saw that the baby in their arms died, they would shed tears."

"The so-called 'mountain marmoset' is a mermaid who accidentally entered the forest. Someone deceived them from the sea and along the rivers, trying to raise them in the pond. The mermaids could not bear the humiliation and died of cutting their throats. The blood splashed on the ground turned into vines..."

Mei Shier laughed, "It turned out to be a herb that can detoxify people."

Feng Yan heard a little sarcastic from Mei Shier's laughter, "...It seems that Mr. Mei thinks this is not good."

"Well," Mei Shi Er nodded, "It should become a poisonous weed that cannot be cured. Don't you think so?"

Feng Yan did not answer.

During the silence, she suddenly felt a slight sadness coming from Mei Shier - she rarely felt the emotional ups and downs in this person. Most of the time, he was like a bystander without sorrow and joy, completely ignoring everything about other people.

"Mr. Mei... is he feeling sad for the mermaids?"

Mei Shier shook his head.

"It's the time I've been with you so far, and it's always very interesting." He looked at Feng Yan and spoke sincerely, "This makes me feel... very sad."
