The woman and her master followed a guest to his hometown. There, they discovered a rare illness, a completely new challenge for them. Undeterred by difficulties, the woman and her master delved into the disease, combining traditional medical techniques with their own experience, constantly trying various methods. After a long and arduous treatment, they finally found a cure. The patient recovered, and the entire kingdom rejoiced. The woman and her master's medical skills once again won the world's praise, and their names became legends. In a turbulent era, the divine physician became renowned for his superb medical skills and compassionate heart. His medical skills were considered miraculous; he treated everyone, rich and poor, noble and lowly, with all his might, deeply respected and loved by the people. The regent, a powerful figure, heard of the divine physician's good deeds and admired him greatly. By chance, the regent met the divine physician, and the two had a pleasant conversation. The divine physician's concern for all living beings and his unwavering pursuit of medical knowledge deeply moved the regent. The Regent realized that this divine physician was not only a highly skilled healer but also a wise man with a heart for the world. The Regent decided to give him more support so he could better utilize his medical skills to benefit more people. With the Regent's help, the divine physician opened more clinics, trained more doctors, and his medical skills spread throughout the land, saving countless lives. Xue Ruanruan cherished this spatial jade pendant greatly, as it was extremely important to her. She often kept important items inside, such as her martial arts manuals, precious medicinal herbs, and some of her favorite trinkets. In short, Xue Ruanruan's spatial jade pendant was a truly magical treasure, bringing her many conveniences and benefits. Their sacrifices and contributions were great, and their spirit and beliefs will forever be etched in our hearts. Meanwhile, within the General's Mansion, silence and solemnity prevailed. The servants and maids who had once known Xue Ruanruan remained silent, knowing full well the gravity of this secret and that it must not be easily revealed. Perhaps only that dignified and wise general could discern the truth... But regardless, Xue Ruanruan's departure became a legendary tale, forever etched in people's memories. Suddenly, a torrent of heat seemed to surge forth from the depths of his heart, rushing upwards. This power was so immense that he couldn't suppress its impact. It was captivating. His voice seemed to come from ancient times, filled with the sedimentation of time and the radiance of wisdom. Every word was as smooth as a pearl, every note as melodious as celestial music, irresistible. When he spoke, the whole world seemed to stand still, only his beautiful voice echoing in the air. His tone was firm and powerful, conveying his inner strength and confidence. His voice contained an indescribable charm, drawing people in irresistibly, making them want to approach him and listen to every word he spoke. Unexpectedly, just outside the capital, she encountered Regent Murong Xun again, and their carriages collided. Xue Ruanruan looked at the carriage before her, inwardly cursing. She had intended to leave the capital quietly to avoid unnecessary trouble, but she hadn't expected to run into Murong Xun so soon. "So it's Miss Xue, what a coincidence," Murong Xun said, a half-smile playing on his lips as he stepped down from the carriage. Surprisingly, the perceptive Miss Xue had already noticed a startling secret—there was a despicable traitor among the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) responsible for transporting this shipment! Moreover, she had specifically sought him out and earnestly warned him, "Be very careful! I've discovered that this escort mission is not simple; one of those镖师 harbors ill intentions!" However, at the time, he didn't take her words too seriously, thinking Miss Xue might be overly sensitive and suspicious. Looking back now, if she had listened to Miss Xue's advice, perhaps many things could have been avoided... Xue Ruanruan feigned composure and gave a slight bow, saying, "Greetings, Regent." "Where is Miss Xue headed?" Murong Xun's gaze roamed freely over her. Xue Ruanruan nodded slightly and said softly, "Just taking a leisurely stroll." Her voice was like a gentle breeze in spring, carrying a hint of tenderness. "Oh?" Murong Xun's lips curled up slightly, raising his sword-like eyebrows as he looked at the delicate woman before him with interest. "I just came from that majestic and solemn palace and also intended to wander around. In that case, how about we travel together?" His gaze was deep and bright, like the brilliant stars in the night sky, captivating all who beheld it. "This... I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb Your Highness any longer." Xue Ruanruan quickly refused; she didn't want to have too much to do with this dangerous man. He frowned slightly, his tone tinged with doubt and wariness: "I seemed to hear a strange sound just now. Does Miss Xue have any explanation for this? Could there be some hidden secret? I hope Miss Xue can tell me the truth, so as not to arouse my suspicion." As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Xun subtly shifted to the side, his movements elegant and natural, as if deliberately creating a subtle distance. However, his deep, pool-like eyes remained fixed on the person before him like a magnet, without the slightest deviation or distraction. He gazed at her silently, his eyes revealing an indescribable expectation and unwavering devotion. In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them became insignificant. The entire world consisted only of the invisible tension and tacit understanding between the two of them, and Murong Xun's deep yearning for a satisfactory answer. Xue Ruanruan, dressed in an elegant long gown, gracefully rode atop a small, exquisite donkey with silky soft fur. Holding the reins, she gave a gentle tug, and the donkey obediently began to move. Sunlight bathed them, as if draping them in a golden veil. A gentle breeze ruffled a few strands of hair across Xue Ruanruan's forehead, and she smiled, a smile as radiant and captivating as a spring flower in full bloom. As the donkey moved slowly forward, Xue Ruanruan leisurely admired the surrounding scenery. In the distance, rolling green hills resembled a winding dragon; nearby, lush trees and vibrant flowers created a breathtakingly beautiful scene. At this moment, Xue Ruanruan seemed like a fairy stepping out of a painting, perfectly integrated with nature. The Regent's magnificent and luxurious carriage, as imposing as a dragon, slowly and steadily emerged from the bustling capital city with an elegant and dignified bearing. The carriage was crafted entirely from rare and precious sandalwood, its surface carved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns and intricate designs, seemingly proclaiming the noble and prestigious status of its owner. The windows were inlaid with crystal-clear glass, through which one could clearly see the soft, smooth silk cushions and neatly arranged, exquisite tea sets inside.
Four snow-white, strong horses pulled the carriage forward with their heads held high, their steady, powerful strides and clear, melodious hooves echoing like a stirring symphony throughout the capital. Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead; a group of people were chasing an injured puppy. The puppy's legs were covered in blood, and it looked pitiful. Xue Ruanruan felt compassion and dismounted to approach the puppy. She gently stroked its head, took out herbs from her medicine box, and bandaged its wounds. The puppy seemed to sense her kindness and quietly lay down on the ground. Just then, the Regent's carriage stopped. He stepped out and saw the scene before him. Xue Ruanruan looked up and met the Regent's gaze. After a moment of eye contact, the Regent smiled slightly. “I never expected to meet you here, young lady.” His voice was deep and magnetic. “It seems we are truly destined to meet.” Each horse was equipped with a set of gleaming gold tack, and the reins were adorned with colorful bells that jingled melodiously with each movement. A group of well-trained and well-equipped guards surrounded the carriage. They wore uniform armor, carried sharp spears or longswords, and had serious, stern expressions, their sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, remaining highly vigilant to prevent any potential threats from approaching.
The guard, like an iron wall, ensured the Regent and his carriage's safe departure from the capital. The crisp, melodious sound of the wheels turning drew attention throughout the street. People stopped, their eyes fixed on the carriage, a symbol of power and authority. Commoners whispered amongst themselves, wondering where the all-powerful Regent was headed and what mission he would undertake; while high-ranking officials wore expressions of awe, secretly speculating whether this journey would have a significant impact on the court. Sunlight streamed onto the carriage, casting a golden glow. Inside the spacious and luxurious carriage, the Regent sat upright. His tall, imposing figure resembled a majestic mountain, exuding an aura of awe. His black python robe, as mysterious and solemn as the deep night sky, was of exquisite quality; its smooth, fine fabric shimmered with a subtle light, as if containing boundless power. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the jet-black python robe seemed to have come to life, meticulously embroidered with breathtakingly exquisite dragon patterns.
