Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Truly Heaven Is Helping Me Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Truly Heaven Is Helping Me Miao Wuxie didn’t say anything and walked out with the teapot.

Outside, The Third Prince’s guards were on watch, so there was no fear of eavesdropping, but Divine Doctor Miao still waited for the person to leave before discussing his plan with The Third Prince and Zhuo Yinzhu.

After he finished, both of them felt it was very feasible, and it could be said to be foolproof.

Only then did The Third Prince ask, “Why did Divine Doctor Miao send Miao the Divine Healer away? Could it be that you’re afraid he will betray us to Murong Jiu?”

“That can’t be, how could my senior brother do such a thing? He wouldn’t fail to distinguish friend from foe.”

Zhuo Yinzhu considered herself the lifesaver of Miao Wuxie and was certain he would unconditionally stand by her side.

His somber mood must be because of his mother; a few days ago, Murong Jiu had sowed discord, mentioning his foster mother, and coincidentally the anniversary of her death was approaching.

Divine Doctor Miao said, “Of course he wouldn’t betray us. It’s just that his current state isn’t suitable for getting involved in these matters. In the future, Your Highness should directly summon this old man for such tasks; there’s no need to involve him.”

The Third Prince was indifferent.

Yin Zhu didn’t make much of it either.

The two went ahead to change their clothes in preparation to leave.

Divine Doctor Miao started packing up; he would be going out as well.

Miao Wuxie walked in with a pot of hot tea.

He set down the hot tea and said indifferently, “Father, if you do not trust me, why did you bring me to the capital? Or is it that what Murong Jiu said was true, that my mother didn’t actually elope with someone, so you don’t want me to get involved? You don’t want me to see Murong Jiu and Master Uncle Zhai again, do you?”

“Hmph! I’m keeping you from it because you’re still naive and easily duped by sweet talk! That Zhai is a beast in human clothing, with a heart of a wolf beneath a sheep’s skin, skilled in deceiving others. Your mother was deceived by him, and that’s why she eloped with him! If you go and get fooled by him again, you’ll only make things worse!”

Miao Wuxie frowned, “How can Father think so little of me? I’m no longer the inexperienced youth I was back then. I came to the capital for two reasons: to help my junior sister with a critical problem and to make our Miao Family renowned across the land. If Father doesn’t allow me to go out, how can I make a name for myself? Even Murong Jiu has earned the reputation of a divine physician here in the capital, while I, your son, remain utterly unknown. I find it hard to accept this.”

Divine Doctor Miao stared into his eyes, not discerning anything unusual, and slightly relieved, he said:
“It’s not that I won’t let you go out. We’re working for The Third Prince, and since that Zhai helped Fu Han solve the Gu issue, The Third Prince is already displeased. We can’t afford any mistakes this time. I will personally make sure this task is accomplished this time. After that, you can go out and practice medicine. The Third Prince will support you from the shadows, helping you make a name for yourself.”

Miao Wuxie nodded, “That sounds good. I’ll wait for Father’s good news.”

Divine Doctor Miao was satisfied with his compliance.

But as soon as he left, Miao Wuxie walked to a secluded place and whistled towards the sky.

Soon, an unremarkable black bird flew into his palm.

He now held a silk handkerchief in his hand.

If Murong Jiu were here, she would have recognized that this handkerchief, which she used frequently, had somehow been taken by Miao Wuxie.

The handkerchief carried Murong Jiu’s unique scent; the black bird sniffed it, and then Miao Wuxie tied a small piece of paper to its leg.

The black bird flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Miao Wuxie gazed down at the handkerchief in his hand, which he had stolen from Murong Jiu as they passed by each other.

Originally, he had planned to use a Gu insect to remember Murong Jiu’s scent and then harm her from the shadows.

However, the next moment, he noticed the hairpin on Murong Jiu’s head.

But whether to harm or to save her, the handkerchief had its uses.

He carefully folded the handkerchief and placed it back against his chest.

Princess Consort Murong Jiu hoped that after seeing the letter, she would become more vigilant and not fall victim to her father’s schemes.

She was much smarter than she had imagined herself to be, wasn’t she?

It was as Princess Consort Murong Jiu was leaving the Prince Mansion and was almost at the teahouse that Chang Chonghai whispered from beside the sedan, “Princess Consort, there is a black bird circling above the sedan, and it seems to have a letter tied to its leg.”

Murong Jiu heard this and looked somewhat puzzled.

A black bird?

Divine Doctor Zhai inquired Chang Chonghai about the black bird’s size and shape, then said to Murong Jiu:
“Girl, it’s a carrier bird from Xiangxi, but they are very hard to tame, and they need to be trained from hatching. The Miao Family doesn’t have the patience for it, it must be raised by Miao Wuxie. Has his conscience finally struck him, or is this yet another trick?”

“Let it come in, I want to see what he has written.”

Murong Jiu lifted the corner of the sedan, and the black bird instantly flew in and perched accurately on her hand.

Divine Doctor Zhai’s brows furrowed tightly, and he said coldly, “Did that boy take something of yours? Otherwise, how could this carrier bird recognize you so accurately?”

Murong Jiu suddenly remembered after seeing Miao Wuxie that day, she had lost a silk handkerchief. She had Chun Tao search for it everywhere but never found it, thinking it had been blown into the lake by the wind.

Now that she thought about it, that silk handkerchief must be with Miao Wuxie!

Her brows knitted even tighter, she first took the letter off the little black bird’s leg, unfolded it to look, and it contained words reminding her to be cautious and also mentioned dried flowers.

Dried flowers.

In a flash, memories from her past life began to emerge.

Suddenly she knew why she had had a premature birth in her past life. At the banquet, she had seen a peculiar dried flower, emitting a faint fragrance, smelling it didn’t cause any discomfort.

But not long after returning to the Prince Mansion, she felt contractions. The Court Physician prescribed her medicine to stabilize the pregnancy, but after drinking it, she vomited everything.

Miao Wuxie’s letter said that the more soup medicine she drank, the greater the impact would be. By a stroke of luck, she had vomited the stabilizing medicine and, a few days later, gave birth prematurely to two children, also suffering heavy bleeding, yet her life was ultimately saved.

A deep hatred surged in her heart, Divine Doctor Miao, Zhuo Yinzhu, and both the Third Prince and the Second Prince were all the culprits leading to her children’s premature and frail birth!

“Master, do you know what this flower is?”

Murong Jiu described the appearance of the dried flower based on the memories of her past life.

After drying, it turned a dark red color, with three or four blossoms on one stem, the size of a baby’s palm, and it had a light fragrance, subtle and indistinct.

As she described it in detail, Divine Doctor Zhai pondered for a moment then suddenly took out his most cherished medical book, flipping it open to page thirty-four.

“Girl, look, does the dried flower you’re talking about resemble the one described in this book?”

Murong Jiu remembered that this medical book had been passed down from his grandmaster to his master, and it was also one of the reasons for the fallout between his master and his fellow disciple. It was a unique copy, and despite being the elder disciple, Divine Doctor Miao did not receive the medical book and wasn’t even eligible to peruse it.

As she looked, her eyes brightened, “Yes, that’s right, it’s exactly as described in the book!”

Although there wasn’t an illustration like with other herbs, the description was almost a perfect match.

“Fortune truly favors me, master, according to the book, the effects can be neutralized, and it’s extraordinarily simple, just by drinking peppermint water, the fragrance becomes ineffective!”

This meant that she didn’t need to change private rooms. She could stick to her original plan, relax in that room, and let Divine Doctor Miao, Zhuo Yinzhu, and the others lower their guard.

With the dried flower’s effects being so domineering, there would be no need for the enemy to implement their second layer of preparation!

Since that was the case, let the start of her revenge begin.
