Chapter 156 Threatening with Alarms
Since Xue Ruanruan returned to the capital from the frontier, her life has undergone a dramatic change. She had thought she would be forgotten, but unexpectedly, her name spread rapidly throughout the capital. People were filled with curiosity about her and eagerly inquired about her story. And all of this was thanks to that mysterious man—Xiao Ziyuan.
Xiao Ziyuan is a mysterious and powerful figure whose appearance changes Xue Ruanruan's fate. In her interactions with Xiao Ziyuan, Xue Ruanruan gradually discovers that he is not as cold and ruthless as he appears, but rather possesses a passionate heart. However, their relationship also faces numerous difficulties and challenges.
Meanwhile, various forces in the capital began to take notice of Xue Ruanruan and attempted to use her to achieve their own goals. Faced with these complex situations, Xue Ruanruan had to learn how to cope and protect herself and those around her. In the process, she gradually matured, becoming stronger and more confident.
During her time in the capital, Xue Ruanruan experienced many thrilling and adventurous events, while also gaining genuine friendship and love. Her life was no longer ordinary, but filled with endless possibilities. And her story with Xiao Ziyuan will become a legend, forever etched in people's hearts.
Compared to before, Xue Li had become innocent and childlike, no longer as seasoned and profound as he once was. He now seemed more like a naive child, full of curiosity and a desire to explore everything around him. This change made him more lovable and approachable, making him easier to get close to.
His eyes sparkled with a bright and innocent light, like an uncut gem, radiating a captivating charm. A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed an innocent smile, as delicate and beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. Xue Li often immersed himself in his own world, chasing butterflies or playing with birds. His behavior was childlike, making people smile. However, beneath this seemingly innocent and carefree exterior, Xue Li's medical skills grew ever more refined. His love and dedication to medicine did not diminish; on the contrary, his pure heart made him even more focused. Every time he treated a patient, he was completely absorbed, giving his all. In his hands, illness seemed less frightening. People were amazed by Xue Li's transformation and praised his medical skills highly. He became a legendary doctor in the eyes of the capital's people, his fame spreading far and wide.
The old lady looked much better than before; her once pale cheeks now had a touch of color, and her eyes had brightened, no longer as dull as before. Her lips curved slightly upward, revealing a faint smile that conveyed warmth and kindness.
At this moment, the old lady was like a blooming flower, radiating vitality and brilliance. Her kind face brought a sense of peace and reassurance to those around her. Time seemed to have left few traces on her face, instead adding a touch of maturity and composure.
The General's Mansion is no longer as solemn and majestic as it once was. The heavily guarded scene, with sentries every five or ten steps, is gone. The guards inside no longer stand tall and proud as before, but stand listlessly, as if they have lost interest in everything.
Xue Ruanruan looked at the radiant old lady and felt a surge of joy.
“Grandmother, how are you feeling?” she asked softly.
"I'm much better, Ruanruan, you've really worked hard." The old lady held Xue Ruanruan's hand, her eyes glistening with tears.
Xue Ruanruan smiled and said, "This is what I should do. As long as Grandma is healthy, I'm happy."
Just then, a servant rushed over and said, "Miss, there is a young master surnamed Lin outside who wants to see you. He says he has something important to tell you."
A sense of foreboding welled up in Xue Ruanruan's heart. "I'll go out and take a look."
She arrived at the door and saw Young Master Lin looking anxious.
"Ruanruan, something terrible has happened! I've received news that the Emperor is very ill, and the imperial physicians are helpless," said Young Master Lin.
Xue Ruanruan frowned deeply. "How could this be? His Majesty has always been in good health."
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard the illness is very serious," Young Master Lin shook his head.
Xue Ruanruan pondered for a moment, "I need to go to the palace. Perhaps I can be of help."
She turned and went back to her room, packed some commonly used medicinal herbs and tools, and then followed Young Master Lin to the palace.
Besides selling cosmeceutical products, the pharmacy also offers professional beauty services. The young lady has invited a group of highly skilled beauticians to provide customers with facials, massages, and makeup. They use their own self-developed natural herbal products, allowing customers to enjoy a comfortable experience while achieving optimal beauty results. In addition, the pharmacy regularly holds beauty lectures and events, inviting renowned beauty experts to share the latest beauty knowledge and techniques. These events attract a large number of beauty enthusiasts, further enhancing the reputation and influence of "Xiangxue Pavilion." Thanks to the diligent management of the young lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, "Xiangxue Pavilion" has gradually become one of the most popular cosmeceutical pharmacies in the capital. It not only satisfies people's pursuit of beauty but also showcases the young lady's talent and wisdom. She has used her medical skills and innovative spirit to pioneer a brand-new field of cosmeceuticals, becoming a leader in the capital's fashion scene.
The ladies and young women of the capital all liked to go to the pharmacy for beauty treatments. Xue Ruanruan broke into the palace, knelt before the emperor, and pleaded for Murong Xun.
"Your Majesty, Murong Xun and I are completely innocent. He is just my friend. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and release him!" Xue Ruanruan cried, tears streaming down her face.
The emperor looked at Xue Ruanruan before him, and his heart stirred. He had only intended to use this opportunity to give Murong Xun a warning, but he hadn't expected Xue Ruanruan to plead for him so desperately.
"Fine, since that's the case, I'll spare him this time." The emperor waved his hand.
Xue Ruanruan was overjoyed, thanked the emperor, and hurriedly left.
After Murong Xun was released, he met Xue Ruanruan again. The two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with deep affection.
"Ruanruan, thank you." Murong Xun held Xue Ruanruan's hand tightly.
"We'll never be apart again." Xue Ruanruan leaned against Murong Xun's chest and smiled happily.
The eldest daughter of the General's Mansion has always been a focus of attention in the capital. She is not only exceptionally beautiful and intelligent, but also possesses a kind heart. Recently, she opened a shop called "Pharmacy Hall," causing a sensation throughout the capital.
Located on one of Beijing's most bustling streets, the pharmacy boasts exquisite and elegant decor and a pleasant environment. The store displays a dazzling array of precious medicinal herbs and beautiful cosmetics. The staff, all professionally trained pharmacists and beauticians, provide warm and attentive service to every customer.
Since its opening, the pharmacy had quickly become one of the most popular shops in the capital. Both nobles and commoners flocked to the store. People raved about its medicines and cosmetics, especially its exclusive formulas. As the days went by, the pharmacy's business flourished. The young lady not only dedicated herself to running the pharmacy but also actively participated in charitable activities, providing free medicine and treatment to the poor. Her good deeds earned her praise and respect.
Meanwhile, Murong Xun was secretly supporting the young lady's business, using his resources and connections to provide much assistance to the development of the pharmacy. Their feelings for each other also deepened over time.
However, just when everything seemed perfect, a sudden crisis struck. Some people, jealous of Yaozhuangtang's success, deliberately spread rumors that Yaozhuangtang's products had quality problems. In an instant, Yaozhuangtang's reputation was severely damaged, and its business plummeted.
The young lady and Murong Xun faced immense pressure, but they did not lose heart. They decided to investigate the truth and clear the name of the Pharmacy. After arduous efforts, they finally found the mastermind and brought him to justice.
After resolving the crisis, the pharmacy's business returned to its former prosperity. The young lady and Murong Xun's relationship also withstood the test, becoming even more unbreakable. Together, they forge a brighter future.
As time went on, the reputation of the Pharmacy grew increasingly renowned, even reaching the imperial palace. Upon hearing of its fame, the emperor dispatched an envoy to purchase a batch of precious medicinal herbs from the Pharmacy and bestowed a generous reward upon the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. As the Pharmacy's fame expanded, it also attracted the attention of others. These people came from all corners of the capital, and they all developed a strong interest in the Pharmacy's products.
Among them, the most intriguing was a mysterious wealthy businessman. He frequently visited the pharmacy, showing great interest in all the products. The young lady and Murong Xun began investigating this mysterious businessman, and they discovered that he seemed to be hiding a much larger conspiracy.
Meanwhile, the pharmacy received a mysterious order to produce a special medicine. As the young lady and Murong Xun researched this medicine, they discovered it had an intricate connection to the mysterious wealthy merchant.
To solve this mystery, they decided to investigate further. In the process, they would encounter various dangers and challenges, but they firmly believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to uncover the truth behind this mysterious tycoon.
Throughout this process, the eldest daughter of the general's mansion did not become arrogant or complacent because of her status. On the contrary, she worked even harder to manage the pharmacy. She continuously improved product quality and launched more new products to meet the needs of different customers. At the same time, she also actively participated in public welfare activities to help those in need.
Ultimately, the pharmacy became one of the most sought-after shops in the capital, and the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion gained even more respect and affection from people.
The old lady returned to the front yard from the ancestral hall, deeply gratified to see her granddaughter's remarkable competence. She held prayer beads in her hand, each bead representing her blessings and expectations for her granddaughter. Her eyes shone with approval and pride; she believed her granddaughter possessed limitless potential and ability. Days passed, and the pharmacy's business flourished. Xue Ruanruan and Murong Xun's feelings for each other deepened. However, just as they were preparing for their wedding, war broke out on the border, forcing Murong Xun to obey imperial orders and go to war. At their parting, the two were reluctant to separate. "When I return, I will never let you down," Murong Xun solemnly promised, gently stroking Xue Ruanruan's cheek. Tears streamed down Xue Ruanruan's face. "Take care of yourself. I'll wait for you."
The next day, Xue Ruanruan quietly went out. Murong Xun was already waiting at the door, and when he saw her, he greeted her with a smile.
“I’ve arranged everything. We can have a good day,” Murong Xun said gently.
The two enjoyed a pleasant day together, sightseeing and sightseeing. In the evening, Murong Xun escorted Xue Ruanruan home, and at the door, he gently kissed her forehead.
"Wait for me," he said softly, then turned and left.
Xue Ruanruan touched her forehead, her heart filled with sweetness and anticipation.
However, their affair was soon discovered and reached the palace. The emperor was furious, believing that Murong Xun dared to covet his woman, and ordered him to be placed under house arrest.
Upon learning this, Xue Ruanruan was extremely anxious. She decided to plead with the emperor to release Murong Xun.
The eldest daughter of the General of the State was not only a highly skilled physician but also owned a pharmacy in the most bustling area of the capital. This pharmacy, named "Xiangxue Pavilion," was situated on the city's most vibrant street, surrounded by high-end shops and luxurious residences. This area was the commercial center of the capital, a frequent haunt of high-ranking officials, nobles, and gentlemen. The pharmacy opened by the eldest daughter of the General of the State attracted considerable attention. She personally selected medicinal herbs and meticulously crafted various unique medicinal cosmetics, such as beauty masks and skin creams. These products became renowned throughout the capital for their high quality and remarkable efficacy. From noble ladies to commoners, everyone flocked to purchase them, making "Xiangxue Pavilion" famous far and wide.
Seeing this, Grandmother took Xue Ruanruan back to the manor. Unexpectedly, that evening Murong Xun sent a letter inviting Xue Ruanruan on an outing the next day. Holding the letter, Xue Ruanruan was conflicted. She knew she shouldn't disobey her grandmother, but she couldn't help feeling a glimmer of hope for Murong Xun. Ultimately, she decided to secretly keep the invitation…
In the court, he was a highly respected figure. His wisdom and strategy were admired, and his decisions always managed to avert danger and stabilize the court. His presence deterred all factions from easily challenging his authority, for they knew that angering the Regent would have unimaginable consequences.
However, the Regent was not without rivals. The Left Chancellor, a powerful figure in the court, had been constantly trying to challenge the Regent's position. Their open and covert struggles further strained the political situation.
However, the Regent was not swayed by the Left Chancellor's challenge. He remained steadfast in upholding the stability of the court and protecting the emperor's dignity. His presence gave people hope and filled them with anticipation for the future.
