The next day, before Hailing got up, she heard chattering and noise outside the house. It was quite lively. Hailing opened her eyes groggily and saw Shilan standing in the room.
"Lan'er, what's happening outside?"
Hai Ling raised her eyebrows, her eyes sharp. Shi Lan rushed over and respectfully replied.
“Miss, Shen Ruoxuan has found his way here and is waiting outside for Master to wake up. Every time he appears, he argues with Shimei non-stop.”
Hai Ling rolled her eyes. These two are always arguing. Is this what they mean by "enemies are destined to meet"? Besides, she had almost forgotten about Shen Ruoxuan. She never expected him to have the ability to find her here.
"He's quite capable, managing to find his way here."
“Oh, that’s natural. Shen Ruoxuan is no ordinary person. He is a prince of Nanyi Kingdom, so investigating someone is naturally not a problem for him.”
While serving Hailing, Shilan casually remarked...

Hai Ling was a little confused. Shen Ruoxuan was actually a prince of Nanling Kingdom. How could a prince become a divine doctor? No, who said a prince couldn't become a divine doctor? But the problem was, why would he give up being a proper prince and go to Medicine King Valley to become a divine doctor, and even become her disciple?
"Is he out of his mind to not be a divine physician instead of a prince?"
Moreover, why is it that whenever she casually comes into contact with someone, that person is either a prince or the emperor? She dislikes contact with members of the royal family the most. Just thinking about this makes Hai Ling's face turn cold. If she had known earlier that Shen Ruoxuan was a member of the royal family, she would never have taken him as her disciple, even if she were beaten to death. Now she especially hates people in the royal family.
"He didn't like being a member of the royal family. I heard that his mother died when he was very young, so he left home and became an apprentice of the old doctor in Medicine King Valley. He lived in Medicine King Valley for a long time. After the old doctor passed away, he inherited his skills and treated the sick and people. He never returned to Nanling."
"I see."
It seems that Shen Ruoxuan, like her, really dislikes the royal family. In fact, being a prince is nothing compared to how comfortable he is now, doing whatever he wants and living freely. Because of his unique skills, he eats well and drinks well wherever he goes, which is much better than being a prince. It seems that Shen Ruoxuan is a shrewd person.
Hailing got dressed, and Shilan combed her hair. The two of them then left the room.
Outside the door, Shi Mei was interrogating Shen Ruoxuan.
"Tell me, how did you find your way here?"
"Little Mei'er, is it possible that I'm incapable of even this much work? But you guys are really ruthless. Why didn't you take me with you? Back then, I pretended to be an assassin to enter the palace to help you, hoping to get my master out. But in the end, you abandoned me. Do you know that? I haven't been able to eat or sleep well for the past few months. If I lose my master, where am I supposed to learn her medical skills?"
Shen Ruoxuan spoke with a hint of resentment at the end, glaring at Shi Mei.
Shi Mei was not afraid of him. Her eyes were even bigger than Shen Ruoxuan's. She stood with her hands on her hips and glared at him angrily. In the end, Shen Ruoxuan gave in and helplessly scratched his head: "Fine, I can't out-glare you."
He had never gotten the better of this woman. If he angered her, she could chase him and beat him for a whole day and night. She would beat him even if he didn't curse her. Why was he so unlucky?
Shen Ruoxuan turned his gaze away from Shi Mei's face and immediately saw Hai Ling walking out of the room.
His eyes were completely blank, unable to react. When Shi Mei, who was standing next to him, saw his dazed look, she kicked him hard. Shen Ruoxuan finally came to his senses and then jumped in front of Hai Ling.
"Are you the master? My god, how can she be so beautiful? That kid Ye Lingfeng really hit the jackpot!"
Upon hearing this, Hai Ling's face darkened. Right now, the person she least wanted to mention was Ye Lingfeng. After he gave her that snow lotus last night, many people in Bei Lu probably knew that the new emperor had feelings for her.
"Who are you?"
Hai Ling asked in a cool and indifferent tone, then looked at Shi Mei and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Mei'er, how could you let a stranger into my Fragrant Grass Courtyard?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoxuan and Shi Mei were both stunned. Shi Mei was about to explain when she met her mistress's gaze and immediately understood that her mistress wanted to teach Shen Ruoxuan a lesson. This was exactly what Shi Mei wanted to do, so she immediately cooperated with her mistress.
"Yes, Miss, I was confused. I'll kick him out right away."
Shen Ruoxuan opened his eyes wide in disbelief. His master didn't recognize him? He was so handsome and outstanding that almost everyone who had seen him would remember him. How could she have forgotten him?
"Master, it's me, Shen Ruoxuan."
Hai Ling's pretty face was indifferent. She shook her head and said seriously, "I don't know Shen Ruoxuan."
Shen Ruoxuan's handsome face turned into a bitter one. He stared wide-eyed at his master, wondering if this was really his master. But wait, their eyes and eyebrows looked quite similar. Had his master lost his memory? Shen Ruoxuan was terrified. No! He had finally managed to persuade his master to become his disciple. If he lost his master's skills now, how could he possibly learn medicine?
"Master, you haven't lost your memory, have you?"
Shen Ruoxuan screamed. He couldn't take this shock. Heaven was playing a cruel joke on him. He had gone through so much trouble to finally find his master's whereabouts, and now his master was telling him that he didn't know him. Was there anyone more unlucky than him?
Seeing Shen Ruoxuan's anxious and distressed expression, Shi Mei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Upon seeing this, Shen Ruoxuan suddenly realized, "So you were lying to me."
Hai Ling pretended not to see the hurt look in his eyes, turned around and led Shi Mei and Shi Lan away. Shi Mei stuck her tongue out at Shen Ruoxuan and then said, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"Talking nonsense?"
Shen Ruoxuan looked bewildered. What nonsense had he just said? He thought about it seriously and finally remembered something he had said earlier: that kid Ye Lingfeng had made a profit. Could it be that his master and that brat Ye Lingfeng had fallen out? That was great! He was happy and quickly caught up with the people in front of him.
Hai Ling led the group to a side hall in Xiangwu Courtyard for their meal. Seeing Shen Ruoxuan enter, she finally stopped bothering him and said calmly, "Please sit down."
"master."
Shen Ruoxuan sat down obediently. People who want to learn other people's medical skills are not to be trifled with. It's best for him to speak less, otherwise he might invite retaliation again. Originally, there was only Xiao Mei'er, but now his master has also joined in. He found that his master was really too cunning.
Fuyue brought breakfast with her servants and laid it out one by one. Hailing then began to eat breakfast. The side hall was very quiet.
Shen Ruoxuan sat quietly to the side, observing Hai Ling. To be honest, her master was truly beautiful, not only in appearance but also in spirit.
Upon seeing his master, he couldn't help but think of his younger sister, Ruan Jingyue, the most beautiful woman in the world's eyes. Although she was just as beautiful as his master, his aura and demeanor were incomparable.
But how did she and that kid Ye Lingfeng fall out? Why?
Although Hai Ling was eating, she didn't miss Shen Ruoxuan's unpredictable gaze. She knew he was still troubled by her and Ye Lingfeng's matter, so Hai Ling pretended not to know. After finishing her meal, she instructed Fu Yue to remove the food and then looked at Shen Ruoxuan.
