“It’s because of Nalan Dai’er.”

Finally, it was Zhao Yang who broke the silence.

He had mustered up enough courage to tell the truth.

Everybody knew that Nalan Dai’er was in this state because of Feng Ruqing. But, they still wanted to help the people who were hurt by her. It was like a blow to her.

Everyone present was shocked as they looked at Zhao Yang.

“The general has gone to war for so many years. He still refuses to retire from the battlefield. Empress Nalan had sworn to protect our country till death. Liu Yun Kingdom is so peaceful now and it is because of them. We cannot allow Nalan Dai’er to be in this state for the rest of her life.”

But still, nothing could be done to save her reputation even after the examination by the imperial physician under Feng Tianyu’s order.

Dai’er was mentally challenged and she should not be left with that kind of reputation for the rest of her life.

Feng Ruqing was taken aback by this remark. There was a warmth lingering in her heart. She never would have guessed that these people would discuss medical skills just for Nalan Dai’er’s sake.

“But, how did you come to allocate these herbs?”

Zhao Yang glanced at Feng Ruqing and said, “It was Princess Rushuang who has helped us allocate these herbs and the herbs were all suggested by her. If not her, who has assembled us for this kind of meeting, we would never have thought of using this kind of way to help Dai’er. Princess Rushuang is a good person and I beg you to let her go.”

Princess Rushuang told them about the herbs after asking the imperial physician about them. If not, they would not be so daring as to do this. They were planning to surprise the Nalan family and that was why the imperial physician was not involved the whole time. The whole process was done with Princess Rushuang as the intermediary.

But, there seemed to be something missing in the herbs. That was why the herbs were inefficient and there were several incidents of allergic reaction too.

“Feng Rushuang?” Feng Ruqing narrowed her eyes.

Previously, Dai’er was burned nastily and Feng Rushuang was also one of the perpetrators.

However, foolish Feng Ruqing received all the blame for this incident. Even if the General Manor knew of other perpetrators, other people still had no clue about it. After Feng Ruqing admitted that it was her sole responsibility, no one from General Manor could take revenge on Feng Rushuang.

Furthermore, Noble Consort Rong now had a bad reputation because of cheating the Iron-Blooded Token off of her. Everyone had a good impression of Feng Rushuang to the point where these people had also believed that Feng Rushuang was so kind as to help Nalan Dai’er.

‘That woman… It would be so good if she did not harm Dai’er. Now, she is being kind to her?’

“Zhao Yang!” Lin Yueying tugged at Zhao Yang’s sleeve immediately. She quickly looked up at Feng Ruqing. “Your Highness, Zhao Yang means well. If he had spoken wrongly, please forgive him.”

Feng Ruqing’s brows relaxed. She smiled lightly and asked, “Do you know about cedar truffle?”

Cedar truffle was a type of truffle. But, this truffle looked just like a snowflake and that was why it was called cedar truffle. It only grew in the arctic lands. But, one could still buy them in regular herbs shops.

“You can ask Paramount to use cedar truffle in stewed pork feet combined with fennel, truffle, and bitter ginseng. It should be stewed for two hours. After this, let her try and see if it works.”

This herbal dish was actually modified from a spirit herbs dish. It was because of the significant effect of spirit herbs. Her scars would disappear if only she had one of these. Similarly, the Spirit Truffle, a Grade-3 spirit herb was needed.

Similarly, the scars could be removed slowly even with the help of other spirit herbs. The spiritual qi which existed in any spirit herb could help repair some damages done on the bodies. But, the effect was extremely slow and it needed to be taken for a long time.

Of course, a regular herbal dish was slow in producing an effect but the effect would be much more significant if it was taken for a long period of time. If it were taken for three consecutive days, the change would be apparent.

It would take more than half a year for the scars to fade completely.

This was the difference between spirit herbs and regular herbs. A very long time and a rich supply of spiritual qi were needed for ordinary herbs to grow into spirit herbs. It could only be done with what genius skills which Feng Ruqing had. If not, it would be too difficult.
