"Thank you, Elder Nan."
Although the results of the Hou Family's descendant were preserved, there was no sign of relief on his face. Instead, he seemed to be staring at his enemy, but he had to step back reluctantly.
Instead, he seemed to be staring at his enemy, but he had to step back reluctantly.
If Zuo Qiuyu had not explained, Lin Mengya would have thought that the descendant of the Hou Family did not know what was good for him.
"Nan Rui valued the Hou Family's ancient prescription. He had a good relationship with the Hou Family, but he took advantage of the situation. If not for the Hou Family's desperate protection, I'm afraid that hundreds of years of family property would have been robbed. "
They were really a group of robbers. Lin Mengya could understand why the descendant of the Hou Family was so impolite to them.
If this happened to her, it would have turned the world upside down.
The small interlude caused by the descendant of the Hou Family was soon ignored by others.
However, after his treatment, it was actually easier to identify the medicinal herbs.
There were only a few contestants a moment ago, but now there were more than ten of them.
There was only a little incense left, and it was estimated that less than half of them would pass.
"Gong —"
The deafening sound of the gong and drum announced the end of the competition.
As Lin Mengya had expected, there were a total of 36 people, but only 15 of them passed.
Because they had to verify the authenticity of the medicinal herbs, most of them were trembling with fear.
Apart from the descendant of the Hou Family who was steady, the others were either sighing at the sky or looking nervously at the table on the stage.
"Time's up. Those who have not completed the competition in time, please leave."
The voice of the apprentice announced the remaining 21 people. There was no chance.
They walked out dejectedly. There must be some unwillingness in their hearts.
However, this was the rule.
They could not blame others for their lack of skills.
Moreover, they would not be able to come across such a medical competition in their lifetime.
However, a few of them did not know that they had fallen into someone's eyes.
"Those people are not bad. To be able to help the Hou Family, they can be considered to be quite compassionate. As doctors, they can improve their skills, but their character is more valuable. "
Zuo Qiuyu understood what Lin Mengya meant.
He ordered his subordinates to secretly take those people in and train them.
The results were quickly out on the stage. Apart from the issue of the Hou Family's descendant, there was another small dispute. There were only eleven people who qualified.
As for the other four, when they saw the herbs on the stage, they could only look at them with unwillingness in their eyes.
But the rules were the rules. He could only follow the 21 people in front of him and become a loser.
Next was the second test. The medicinal herbs that had been identified were not taken away by anyone.
Instead, they placed them in front of each of them, and from below the stage, another fifteen people walked out in a line.
These people were tall and short, fat and thin, men and women of all ages.
On the surface, there was nothing unusual about it.
However, everyone's faces were filled with caution.
It must be because he was not used to such a grand occasion.
The apprentice cleared his throat and said,
"The fifteen people here are all suffering from hidden diseases. The medicinal herbs in your hands just happen to correspond to one of them. This is the second and third segment of the competition! "
It turned out that the second test was the diagnosis of the illness. However, everyone was curious about the third segment.
With the help of the radar, Lin Mengya could be said to be extremely proficient in the field of poison.
However, when it came to diagnosing illnesses, her level was still too low. Any one of the eleven physicians below the stage was better than her.
As the saying went, the layman enjoyed the liveliness, while the connoisseur recognized the artistry.
Zuo Qiuyu watched with great interest. If he came across a slightly unique diagnosis method, he would be so excited that he would dance with joy.
When it came to the official, Lin Mengya felt that this guy seemed to be celebrating a festival.
Since she was bored, she might as well go out for a walk and get some fresh air.
Naturally, Yu An had to follow by her side. Zuo Qiuchen must have ordered him to stay by her side to protect her.
This fellow did not regard himself as an outsider. Apart from not following her when she went to the toilet, he was like a little tail that she could not shake off no matter how hard she tried.
Moreover, he was very quick-witted. His witty words were able to relieve Lin Mengya's boredom and not make her feel annoyed.
The two of them walked one after another. Just as they turned the corner, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Mengya.
"Ah … I didn't know it was you and offended you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
The figure immediately bowed and spoke respectfully.
Lin Mengya looked over and found that it was a face she had never seen before.
Since he did not bump into her, she did not want to make a fuss about it.
"It's alright. I'm sorry, I was careless."
Lin Mengya took a step back and apologized softly. She bowed slightly and was about to turn around to leave.
"Please wait, Your Highness!"
Unexpectedly, she was stopped by someone the moment she turned around.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Mengya turned around and saw the person who seemed to want to say something but stopped on second thought. She suddenly remembered that this person was Zhu Qiyun's nephew.
"Your Highness, may I have a word with you? This concerns your husband."
The nephew of the Zhu family seemed to be extremely uneasy and his eyes kept looking left and right.
Lin Mengya did not want to follow him, but when she heard that it might concern Long Tianhao, she had no choice but to suppress the thought.
She gave Yu An, who was hiding in the dark, a look and he immediately understood that he must continue to hide in the dark and not reveal any traces of his whereabouts.
"May I know your name, sir?"
Lin Mengya asked after some consideration. The nephew of the Zhu family led her to one side of the winding corridor.
Although it was very quiet, it was not a proper place.
"Your servant, Zhu Jiajing, pays respect to Princess Anle."
However, Zhu Jiajing immediately knelt down in front of Lin Mengya and bowed respectfully.
"What are you …"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and jumped in shock.
However, Zhu Jiajing seemed to be very emotional. Tears flowed down his face as he said in a low voice,
"I used to be His Majesty's secret agent. Later on, I was ordered to infiltrate the Pavilion of Herbs as the nephew of the Zhu family. Now that I see that Your Highness is here on behalf of His Majesty, I … I'm overjoyed. "
Lin Mengya panicked a little when she saw a grown man crying here.
"Don't be like this. Get up first. Let's talk things out. Why are you crying?"
Although Lin Mengya said this, she did not go forward to help him up.
Instead, she instinctively took a step back and comforted him in a gentle voice.
"I'm overjoyed. Oh yes, I wonder if Your Highness has brought His Majesty's instructions for the next step?"
Zhu Jiajing did not get up. Instead, he knelt there and asked while sobbing.
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat and she said apologetically,
"It's true that Cousin Chen sent me here, but I don't know what his instructions are. Of course, you have to ask your superior about these things. Don't you agree? "
Zhu Jiajing's sobbing gradually came to an end.
However, there was a sorrowful look on his face.
"Your Highness, you're right. However, I haven't seen His Majesty for a long time. I really miss him. If not for Your Highness, I would have thought that His Majesty was going to abandon me! "
Lin Mengya shook her head and had no choice but to comfort him.
However, Zhu Jiajing seemed to be very touched. Then, his expression turned into one of extreme anger.
"Your Highness, do you know that Zhu Qiyun is up to no good? He saw that his son was accidentally injured by someone. Thus, he had the idea of framing someone else and murdered his own son! Not only that, he even colluded with outsiders and kidnapped Prince Yu! "
This was a shocking inside story. Lin Mengya's eyes widened. Obviously, she did not expect that there was such an inside story.
"How did you know about it? Since you knew all the inside stories, why didn't you tell His Majesty? "
Zhu Jiajing buried his crying face in his palms and said sadly, "I'm sorry.
"I'm just a powerless commoner. How dare I go against them? I only hope that Your Highness can help me seek justice. Don't let this shameless villain corrupt the moral code! "
His words sounded firm and unyielding. Lin Mengya's expression softened.
"Get up first. Since you're Cousin Chen's man, we're not strangers anymore. It's been hard on you to stay in the Zhu Family for so many years. "
Lin Mengya reached out her hands and gently helped Zhu Jiajing up.
After declining several times, Zhu Jiajing finally stood up. However, his eyes were red and it was obvious that he had been crying.
"Since you've told me about it, I won't let the truth be hidden. Go back first, keep Zhu Qiyun in check and protect Prince Yu. Once you bring me back, write a letter to Cousin Chen. By then, I'll give you the greatest credit. "
Lin Mengya smiled gently. Her smile made her look even more beautiful and charming.
Her gaze fell on Zhu Jiajing's body. This man, who had just been in pain, felt a little embarrassed as he lowered his head.
"In that case, I'm relieved. Zhu Qiyun is too suspicious. If I stay out for too long, I'll arouse his suspicions. "
Lin Mengya nodded and watched Zhu Jiajing leave.
The smile on Lin Mengya's face gradually disappeared when the figure completely disappeared from her sight.
"Your Highness, do you believe what he said?"
Yu An suddenly appeared behind Lin Mengya.
It turned out that he had been hiding behind a pillar all this while. He had heard every single word of what Zhu Jiajing had said.
At this moment, his face was full of vigilance.
"Of course I believe him. There are indeed lies in his words, but it doesn't mean that he's not telling the truth. "
Lin Mengya cast an unfathomable glance in the direction where that guy had disappeared.
