The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

Chapter 174 Who is Huang Que?

Wei Zhuang had already made a guess about Nightingale's identity. After all, it is rare for a woman to have such a superb medical book, let alone someone with such a top-notch medical book and some fame.

One was Duanmu Rong, a physician, and the other was Li Yuange, a young lady who was the closed-door disciple of a master physician.

Now that Yuan Ge has revealed her figure, she must have something important to discuss with him, Wei Zhuang frowned.

Why today of all? Please, it can't be related to the Imperial Advisor.

But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.

Yuan Ge nodded and took out a secret box from his bosom, handing it to Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang was puzzled, but after checking, he found nothing unusual.

"What does Miss Yuan Ge mean by this?"

Yuan Ge put down the mask in his hand and put it back on his face: "Yuan Ge hopes that Lord Wei Zhuang will not become an enemy of the Grand Preceptor."

Wei Zhuang frowned: "Imperial Advisor?"

Yuan Ge nodded: "Princess Honglian's body is lacking in qi and blood, and she needs to be nourished now. If Lord Wei Zhuang can give me a guarantee, I will serve her all the medicines on time."

Wei Zhuang's mind sharpened, and he became more inquisitive about Yuan Ge.

Yuan Ge knew that her words represented everything, but just thinking of the Imperial Preceptor made her involuntarily want to clear away everything for her and achieve everything.

The Imperial Advisor wanted to contact the Flowing Sands, and he didn't hide it from her. A few years ago, for some reason, when Wei Zhuang approached her and asked her to treat Princess Honglian, she didn't refuse.

Now, Wei Zhuang has a request of her. If she can help the Grand Preceptor, he will have no regrets in this life.

The two remained silent for a long time before Wei Zhuang finally replied, "Since it was Miss Yuan Ge who said it, Wei Zhuang owes her a favor. From now on, Wei Zhuang will not tell anyone about the matter of the Grand Preceptor."

Yuan Ge felt at ease. She knew that it was already difficult to obtain this promise. As for other things, she would have to work on them slowly.

He put down the prepared medicinal herbs, left behind the pills he had made in advance, and nodded to indicate that he was leaving.

It wasn't Bai Feng leading the team that left; a black figure appeared in front of Yuan Ge.

Dressed entirely in black, with his face covered by a black cloth, his expression was obscured.

The person was extremely thin, especially from behind, with a waist so narrow that it could be grasped with one hand.

The man's voice was unusually thick and sticky, as if there was a venomous snake in his mouth, making those who heard it feel uncomfortable.

"Please, young lady. Lord Wei Zhuang instructed me to escort you carefully."

His tone was tender, yet it sent a chill down one's spine; the closer one got, the more one could feel the coldness emanating from the man.

Leaving the dense forest, Yuan Ge breathed a sigh of relief. Her solemn face softened into a gentle and charming expression when she saw the familiar carriage.

Ying Ji sensed something was wrong when Yuan Ge left, and that's why she followed him out.

There was an unexpected bonus.

I wanted to ask the executioner why he was here, but considering how much things had changed, I decided to remain still and keep my composure in the carriage.

Upon seeing Ying Ji's undisguised carriage, Yuan Ge did not feel like he was being followed. He naturally boarded the carriage and apologized: "Grand Preceptor, Yuan Ge is guilty of secretly contacting the Quicksand organization."

Ying Ji patted Yuan Ge's head: "Get up. Don't do it again next time. Try not to come into contact with quicksand in the future."

Yuan Ge nodded obediently.

Ying Ji glanced at him, and as he relaxed, she smacked her forehead hard.

Yuan Ge stared at Ying Ji with teary eyes, biting her lower lip, wondering why she was suddenly being roasted.

"This is the punishment for this."

Yuan Ge felt wronged. Just now, the Grand Preceptor said that everything was fine, but as soon as she relaxed, she was stunned by a flick on the forehead.

Ying Ji looked at the little girl's red forehead and felt sorry for her.

She gently tapped Yuan Ge: "How could you possibly be connected with Wei Zhuang?"

Yuan Ge was comforted by a gentle touch, and a blush even rose on her cheeks. She obediently told him that after she made a name for herself in the medical family, she had changed her name to Nightingale to see patients for safety. Because she always wore a mask and used medicine to change her body shape, she was not recognized by many people. However, one day when she was seeing patients, she was suddenly captured by Wei Zhuang to treat Princess Honglian.

From then on, Wei Zhuang owed her a life-saving grace. This time, he went there for a herb that could cure Princess Honglian's incurable disease. In exchange, she would prevent Liu Sha from becoming enemies with the Grand Preceptor.

Ying Ji listened to the whole thing and squeezed the jade palanquin in her hand.

Wei Zhuang and Hong Lian have already married and had children. Hong Lian has always been in good health. Could it be that the antidote pills she took in the early days caused her difficult childbirth?

No, it seems we need to bring Liusha in as soon as possible. I wonder how Honglian is doing now, and I haven't heard of Chilian's name. It seems Wei Zhuang is keeping Honglian very well hidden.

It seems that the decision made back then was the right one.

Ying Ji smiled slightly, but then frowned as she thought of the executioner who had brought Yuan Ge out: "Who brought you out?"

Yuan Ge frowned slightly, thinking of Xing Ren's sticky, snake-like gaze: "I don't know, but his code name is Purgatory. Once someone falls into Purgatory's hands, he will get the information he wants from anyone."

Ying Ji thought about how she left, and how crazy that guy looked. She wondered why she had ended up in quicksand.

[Looks like we need to investigate this thoroughly when we get back. It's good that Yang and the others have arrived.]

Back at Xianyang Palace, Ying Ji made no attempt to conceal her whereabouts or actions from Ying Zheng. She immediately ordered Zhao Gao to find Yang and the previously given list, in which Xiao He and Liu Bang had already been forcibly summoned.

Fan Kuai and Han Xin needed to be invited by a special person.

Yang was easy to find; Zhao Gao had already placed all of his information on the table that afternoon.

Looking at Yang's life story, Ying Ji noticed that his friendship with Xing Ren had not been erased. However, although he had been appointed as the Minister of Agriculture after the imperial examination, he was inexplicably stripped of all his official positions.

He now owns two acres of land in Xianyang and works in the fields every day. A few days ago, his father's right leg was broken because a wealthy merchant from the State of Chu failed to buy his fertile land.

It was a time of severe shortage of medical care and medicine.

Ying Ji's face darkened, and she became somewhat angry.

It's ironic that such a learned person has had his talents wasted like this.

He then took Yuan Ge to the outskirts of Xianyang City.

Upon arriving at the village, one hears the cries of women, each sob a lament, like the mournful cry of a cuckoo.

“My husband has broken his leg, and my son has been working non-stop for a month to save lives. Sirs, please have mercy and give us our wages.”

A haughty male voice rang out, sharp and sarcastic: "Cry, cry, cry your mother's ass! Your crying is annoying me. It's because our master doesn't want to pay you wages. Look at what your son has done. That huge piece of land, and he's only growing half of it. Our master is kind-hearted, that's why we haven't dragged you lazybones to the authorities."

Someone nearby quickly chimed in, "Yes, the host is kind-hearted. You people shouldn't take advantage of him. But if he needs money, we do have a way."

The sarcastic man's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Your family still has two acres of land, right? Our master just bought some land around here and wants to build a whole city. If your family can't make ends meet, you can sell it to us. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

"Yeah, yeah, hey boss, our master is really kind-hearted. How can we possibly beg such a kind-hearted master? You guys shouldn't be so ungrateful."

The woman watched as her husband lay on the bed. The group of people who had come in punched her husband who was trying to stop her, and he is now unconscious.

The son, who had returned, was beaten bloody while protecting the women in his family. He was lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, leaving only the mother and son trembling in each other's arms.

Looking at this group of thugs, who not only beat up her own family members but also wanted the two acres of fertile land that her family depended on for survival, the woman felt that heaven was really going to take her family's lives.

"God, open your eyes! Look at us! Is there any way for people to survive in this world?"

The sarcastic man found the woman's chatter annoying and tried to slap her across the face.

However, seeing the little girl hiding behind her mother, the girl with only half her face showing was very young, with bright black eyes. Given her young age, the sight of her trembling behind her mother was quite charming.
