C15 Pengci

Everyone immediately quietened down, and in an instant, the entire place became silent. Xianyu Zhi jumped down from the carriage supported by the little maid, walked towards the old lady.

When Xianyu Zhi got closer, the big sized man subconsciously reached out his hand to stop him. Xianyu Zhi looked at him, the expression in his eyes was resolute beyond doubt, but the big sized man actually slowly let go of his hand.

Xianyu Zhi crouched down, and asked with concern: "Did the old granny fall anywhere?"

The old woman seemed to be in great pain. She pointed to her waist and said in a hoarse voice, "All her bones were broken."

The audience was filled with sympathy, and they started to discuss softly again.

After Xianyu Zhi calmed down, he picked up the woman's wrist and started his usual practice.

"The pulse is very stable, there is no sign of being shocked at all," Xianyu Zhi muttered to himself, "Furthermore, the pulse rate is not uniform, the pulse is tight, and it is a disease caused by the cold in the stomach. From what I see, the elder probably ate something that he shouldn't have, and the pit of his stomach was uncomfortable, only because he coincidentally saw my carriage again, he fell into a daze."

"Nonsense!" The big man looked very angry. Even his beard was trembling.

It wasn't very angry that a lie had been found out in public.

"Whether or not I'm talking nonsense doesn't count," Xianyu Zhi looked at the woman's thin clothes, "If it was really my carriage that hit it, then at least it was swollen, and there might even be bruises. Can the elder lift up a small corner of the clothes for everyone to see, if there really is an injury, then this little girl will not only take care of the elder's medical expenses, but also the amount that I owe you."

The woman did not answer and only withdrew her hand from Xianyu Zhi's palm. She tightly held onto her waist and laid on the ground, moaning in pain.

"Where is the justice of the world under broad daylight?" The big sized man stared at Xianyu Zhi, his gaze fierce as though he wanted to tear her apart.

"Let me do it." An old man staggered out from the crowd carrying a backpack. His hair and beard were already gray, and only his eyes were still bright and clear.

"imperial physician Sun!" Someone from the crowd cried out in alarm.

"This old man has been practicing his medicine for thirty years, and I've seen all kinds of difficult illnesses and pretentious people. You can tell if they are real or fake just by looking at their meridians." Xianyu Zhi took two steps back to make space for the old man.

The crowd went silent, as if they were filled with curiosity towards this sudden turn of events. A few of them even raised their hands, ready to watch a good show.

The woman lying on the ground looked at the old man and refused to extend her hand. She then raised her head and looked at the man with a helpless expression.

The old man closed his eyes and concentrated on his pulse. After a long time, there was no response, and the crowd began to chatter again.

After a long while, the elder stood up, "What little miss said is true, the pulse really does not have the same Qi and blood as before."

Since that was the case, the two of them were partners. The crowd sighed as the old woman slowly stood up and patted the dust off her clothes. She walked out of the crowd as if nothing had happened while the big man followed closely behind her.

Xianyu Zhi glanced at them, and when he turned his head back, the old man had already disappeared.

"Young lady, you are truly wise at such a young age." A scholar in the crowd stroked his beard as he praised.

Xianyu Zhi laughed, and did not say a word.

In a teahouse not too far away, Xiao Yunchen took a sip of tea and sized up the people on the street with interest. No, to be exact, it should be Xianyu Zhi.

"Interesting." Xiao Yunchen's mouth curved in a demonic smile, the people that were accompanying him looked at Xianyu Zhi in the distance, then looked at their young master, and immediately spoke with their dog legs: "Young master, this is the daughter of the Prime Minister, I heard her body is too weak, and she was sent to the Spirit Concealment Temple for cultivation?"

"Weak?" Xiao Yunchen raised his eyebrows, "Are you here to see just how weak she is?"

"This ?" The follower was speechless.

"Think of a way to run towards the temple, there must be some unspeakable secret," Young Master Xiao stood in front of the window and speculated. When he saw Xianyu Zhi get on the carriage, he closed his fan with a "Pa" sound. Let's go watch the show as well. "

The abbot of the monastery had already received the news from the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance. Therefore, after Xianyu Zhi had given him the incense, the abbot had chatted with her for a while, then left with a small monk to lead Xianyu Zhi and the others to a room that had long been prepared for them.

Xianyu Zhi wondered as he walked. He had been on guard the entire way, but Zhao Huan Zhi's people hadn't moved an inch. Was she overthinking it?

Although he thought that, Xianyu Zhi still did not want to let his guard down.

Xianyu Zhi couldn't help but look around. Suddenly, at the corner, Xianyu Zhi discovered a clue: a black shadow was sneakily following them.

Xianyu Zhi maintained her composure and continued walking. In fact, she had already seen this person a long time ago, but did not pay attention to him. She did not expect that person to follow her all the way without leaving.

"Benefactor, we've arrived." The young monk clasped his hands together and stopped outside a room.

"Please lead the way." Xianyu Zhi closed his palms and returned the greeting, then looked at the little monk's back as he walked away, and said to the maidservant behind him: "All of you take care of this first, if you have anything to say wait for me."

With that, Xianyu Zhi continued to walk along the courtyard path, she knew that the black figure was still following her from not too far away.

Xianyu Zhi took a few turns, and the more he walked, the more he deviated. As he was walking past a T-junction, Xianyu Zhi quickly flashed behind a wall. As expected, the sound of hurried footsteps came from not too far away from him, and as Xianyu Zhi leaned against the wall, his hand unconsciously grabbed onto the chain attached to his waist. After pondering for a moment, he put the chain down and pulled out a silver hairpin from his bun.

When the sound of footsteps came to the front, Xianyu Zhi walked out from behind the wall and blocked the man in black's path.

"Sir, have you followed me the entire way? What plans do you have for this little girl?" Xianyu Zhi looked up and met his gaze, her voice void of any emotion.

Maybe man in black felt that it was unexpected that he would be discovered so quickly.

Without waiting for him to move, Xianyu Zhi flung his hand, and with a "sou" sound, the hairpin pierced straight into man in black's knee, and with a long hiss, man in black fell to his knees.

Xianyu Zhi moved his wrist, and looked at the person on the ground coldly: "Speak, who guided you here?"

sneered, and calmly took out a silver needle from his sleeve that was poisoned with poison. He bent over and leaned towards man in black, and exhaled a breath of air like an orchid: "I suggest you to be honest."

man in black's eyes showed some fluctuations, but he was still holding on.

Xianyu Zhi did not want to waste anymore time, he pinched the needle and was about to stab down towards his neck. When the needle was just a hair away from man in black, he suddenly panicked: "I said ? "I say ?"

"Yes ?" Just as she was about to say who it was, there was the sound of footsteps coming from behind Xianyu Zhi. She suddenly turned her head and saw no one behind her.

Xianyu Zhi was shocked, and stared blankly in place for a long time without being able to recover.
