Zhao Wuxu was on the verge of tears. He was the adopted son of the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner's office, yet he had been caught red-handed as a dung thief. How could he ever face anyone again if word got out?

He struggled desperately, but the waiter kicked him in the back of the knee, causing him to fall to his knees with a thud.

"Behave yourself! I'll break your legs if you run again!"

Zhao Wuxu was utterly desperate, and in his heart he cursed Gu Moran's ancestors for eighteen generations.

No, he can't get caught!

He gritted his teeth, unleashed his inner strength, and fled from the encirclement.

The former royal palace, the pharmacy.

Holding the new Rhodiola Blood-Invigorating and Qi-Boosting Pill formula given to him by the system, Gu Moran swaggered into Shen Ling'er's pharmacy.

Suddenly, a screen of light flashed before my eyes.

[Congratulations, host! Both Son of Destiny have been suppressed and are now questioning their existence.]

[Luck has plummeted.]

[Host reward: Vigorous Primal Yang.]

[Effect: Those who know, know.]

In an instant.

Before Gu Moran had even finished looking at the system panel, she felt like a completely different person, with immense strength, surging blood and energy, and a radiant complexion!

My back doesn't ache anymore, and my legs don't hurt anymore.

He was overjoyed.

Oh dear.

Six people? No problem!

Shen Ling'er was pounding medicine when she heard footsteps. She looked up at him and asked in an annoyed tone.

"It's so late, why aren't you resting? What are you doing here?"

Gu Moran walked up to her with a smile.

"Let's do it."

Shen Ling'er's ears turned red, and she raised her hand to prick him with a silver needle.

Gu Moran quickly handed over the recipe.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business. I have a new prescription; could you take a look at it for me?"

Shen Ling'er took the paper, her eyes scanning over the densely packed names of medicinal herbs and dosages, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Rhodiola rosea, astragalus, angelica, chuanxiong... is this formula used to replenish qi and invigorate blood?"

Gu Moran nodded, then added.

"It not only replenishes qi and improves blood circulation, but it's also said to relieve headaches and shortness of breath caused by the cold of high altitudes."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ling'er paused in her actions and looked up at him.

"High-altitude cold? You mean places like snow-capped mountains?"

"That's right." Gu Moran sat down beside her, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip. " Tubo is a high-altitude region with thin air. Ordinary people often get headaches and shortness of breath there. This medicine is specifically for that."

Shen Ling'er remained silent for a moment, then looked at the recipe from beginning to end again before speaking in a low voice.

"If what you say is true, once this medicine is made, the Yi Prefecture Army will be able to traverse the snow-capped mountains as if they were flat ground."

Gu Moran smiled but didn't reply. He simply reached out and grasped her wrist as she was grinding the medicine, using the excuse of taking her pulse and checking her temperature.

"My wife has been working hard these past few days; her hands are all cold."

Shen Ling'er tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly, so she had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

Gu Moran's fingers restlessly hooked around her fingertips, and he teased her softly.

"Will this medicine make you irritable? Your face is all red."

Shen Ling'er's ears burned, and she glared at him coquettishly.

"If you keep talking nonsense, they'll really prick you with silver needles."

Just as Gu Moran was about to continue teasing her, the pharmacy door was suddenly pushed open.

Murong Xue walked in carrying a late-night snack and immediately noticed the two of them being all lovey-dovey across the medicine grinder. Her face darkened instantly.

She placed the tray on the table and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh dear, have I arrived at the wrong time? Have I disturbed Your Highness and Younger Sister Shen's reunion?"

Shen Ling'er quickly withdrew her hand, her face still flushed, but she pretended to be calm as she sorted through the medicinal herbs.

"No, my husband just obtained a new prescription."

Gu Moran remained calm and waved to Murong Xue with a smile.

"You've come at the perfect time. I was just looking for a martial arts sparring match with you. And I can also get some exercise."

Murong Xue gave a cold laugh.

"Promote blood circulation? I see that Your Highness has plenty of energy and blood; do you need my help?"

As she spoke, her hand was already on the soft whip at her waist, looking eager to try.

Just then, Lin Qingdai hung upside down from the window and suddenly spoke.

"A pharmacy is a sensitive place; violence is not advisable."

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Gu Moran was also taken aback.

What is Lin Qingdai up to?

When did you arrive?

Hanging it upside down from the window, did you learn that from Yun Shuyue?

Gu Moran calmed himself down and stood up with ease, first Murong Xue.

"I remembered your late-night snack. Let's eat together later."

He nodded to Lin Qingdai again.

"Thank you for your patrol. Nothing unusual tonight, right?"

Lin Qingdai gave a brief reply.

No at the moment.

Finally Gu Moran steered the conversation back to the formula and looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Can you make this medicine?"

Shen Ling'er nodded. "The herbs aren't hard to find, but the processing method needs to be more meticulous. I'll try it tomorrow."

Gu Moran was satisfied then, and added, "Let me try it first after it's done. Don't send it directly to the army. In case there are any problems, I'll test it on everyone first."

Shen Ling'er rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

You'll eat anything!

Murong Xue snorted, picked up the tray, turned and went out. "Your Highness, please enjoy your meal. I'm going on night patrol."

Gu Moran chuckled.

"Okay, okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll come find you later. And Qingdai, remember not to sleep too soundly tonight! Wait for me!"

Lin Qingdai rolled her eyes, snorted coldly, muttered "Look how tough you are," and left, leaving Gu Moran and Shen Ling'er staring at each other.

Shen Ling'er sighed softly, "Can't you just calm down? You've provoked so many people, how much medicine are you planning to take in the future?"

Gu Moran smiled and leaned closer to her, "Aren't you all bored now that you've quieted down?"

Shen Ling'er was amused by him and raised her hand to push him away.

"Alright, alright, go back and rest. Don't get in my way while I'm making the medicine."

"No rush, no rush, I have important matters to attend to."

"Ouch~ What are you doing~"

"Rest, rest, rest."

One hour later.

Gu Moran reluctantly left.

Brilliant!

What need is there for tonics? Even a dog wouldn't drink that!

It was midnight in the back alley of the old Prince's Mansion.

Eight black-clad assassins under Pu Yunshan's command quietly infiltrated the area.

They are coming to rescue Pu Yunshan.

In their view, given their status as young masters, they were bound to be imprisoned in the Prince's mansion!

They were agile and skilled in martial arts, and thought that entering and leaving the Prince's mansion would be a piece of cake. Little did they know that the mansion had just undergone a major renovation to prevent dampness and drain sewage.

The leader jumped off the wall, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt his legs give way.

He looked down and realized he had stepped on a very light bamboo plank. Before he could react, the bamboo plank snapped with a crack.

Immediately afterwards, he fell straight into a newly dug septic tank main channel.

"Ah--"

A scream pierced the night sky.

The other assassins rushed to retrieve the animals, but triggered the animal trap set by Lin Qingdai and the pulley rope set by Yun Shuyue.

A net descended from the sky, covering the heads of seven assassins, while the pulley rope tightened simultaneously, suspending them in mid-air.

Amidst the stench and screams, Xue Huan led Song Wan and the others out from the shadows.

They didn't even draw their knives; wearing only masks that covered their noses, they quickly and tightly bound the disoriented group of assassins.

Xue Huan walked up to the leader, saw that he was soaking wet and reeked of a foul odor, and frowned as he asked.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Prince's residence?"
