Chapter 56: The Tip of the Iceberg

Jin Xiguan worshiped a scholar and lived in a high class, and the Jin Mansion was naturally not far behind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info compared with the grand luxury, it is more leisurely and suitable for living. However, the most jaw-dropping place in Jin Mansion has to be regarded as a medicine house.

This medicine house occupies almost one-third of the area of the Jin Mansion, and the medicinal materials hoarded in it are huge in number and complete in variety. It is equivalent to the sum of more than a dozen pharmacies on the market. Even some medicinal herbs that are extremely difficult to find on a daily basis are available here. It can be compared to the Tai Hospital of the Daxing Dynasty.

In Hua Liyue's words, it's a pity that a medicinal herb tycoon like Jin Xi doesn't go to the world for medicine! If this were for her, Hua Liyue would have been killed out of the rivers and lakes a long time ago, and she would have put all those names such as medical immortals, medical saints, and ghost doctors into her hands. (Naturally, that's an afterthought!) )

"Master, although this jade flute is rare, there is no shortage in the house that is better than it, why do you have to work so hard to dispense medicine and detoxify."

The medicine house can be regarded as a forbidden place in the Jin Mansion, and only a few people close to Jin Xi can enter it on weekdays. At this time today, Jin Xizheng was busy dispensing and testing medicines in a hurry, just for the blue flute that was now soaked in medicinal juice.

Seeing that his master was busy going in and out, he buried himself in various medicine shrines all day without saying a word, without resting for a moment, and he didn't even drink a sip of water from morning to now. Running around and working so hard made Ling Ye, who was a personal secret guard, feel distressed.

To be honest, in this mansion, the master's private flute is much better than the jade flute full of poison in front of him. The master was paranoid and stubborn, and he had to force back several toxins entrenched on the jade flute. I don't know what he's obsessed with.

The jade flute was given by a little palace maid named Hua Liyue next to the prince this morning, saying that she was grateful to the previous master for saving his life. Speaking of Hua Liyue, Ling Ye's eyes became a little colder. How dare she poison her master!

"Hua Liyue!"

An obvious hint of murder flashed in Ling Ye's dark eyes.

I don't know if the master was bewitched or blinded by her innocent appearance, she was cold and indifferent to everyone, but she favored that Hua Liyue. Even for her, he broke his principles many times, and was restrained by Emperor Chu for this.

Maybe he didn't expect Ling Ye to ask such a question, Jin Xi couldn't help but be stunned.

A hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Jin family had a great favor to the whole clan of the Ling clan, and the Ling family was martial for a hundred years, and in order to express his gratitude, he made an oath independently. But the men in the mortal clan have to be selected to protect the Jin clan since they were young, and this has been the case for generations until the blood of the Ling clan is exhausted.

So, when Jin Xi was still very young, Ling Ye and several other members of the Ling clan were sent to the Jin Mansion. It's been many years ago. Over the years, Ling Ye and his entourage have followed him as an official and fought for him, and they have loyally protected him.

In Jin Xi's heart, they have long been his brothers and sisters. But Ling Ye always follows the way of master and servant, and does not dare to overstep. In addition to being ordered to go out, he followed like a shadow, and he didn't even take the initiative to speak, just silently watched everything. It's the first time I've done this.

Jin Xi raised his eyes and glanced at Ling Ye with some surprise, and smiled gently.

That's it! Ling Ye's taciturn temperament caused Jin Xi to think that he didn't like to be his secret guard all these years. Several times I mentioned to Ling Ye to let him leave freely, and he no longer had to follow the ancestral teachings, but Ling Ye refused, which made Jin Xi feel embarrassed!
