Chapter 204 "We must hurry back and tell Miss!"
Xiao Die shuffled her feet lightly, each step feeling as if she were walking on cotton, tiptoeing behind Su Wan'er. She was extremely nervous, her eyes fixed on the figure in front of her, not daring to breathe loudly.
She carefully maintained the distance between them, afraid of making any noise that would alert Su Wan'er.
Following her all the way, Xiaodie saw Su Wan'er enter a clinic. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stopped and dodged to the side, hiding in a corner not far away.
She peeked out, her eyes fixed on the clinic entrance, filled with both curiosity and fear. She dared not take another step forward, looking like a frightened little rabbit, constantly alert to any movement around her, afraid of accidentally revealing herself.
On the other side, Su Wan'er walked gracefully into the clinic, which was filled with a faint aroma of herbs. Behind the counter stood a middle-aged man dressed in a plain robe, skillfully handling various medicinal herbs, sorting and weighing them one by one, busy as a bee.
Just then, the man glanced up and caught sight of Su Wan'er walking in. His face instantly lit up with a smile, and he greeted her warmly, "Oh, it's Princess Su! What brings you here today..."
Su Wan'er bowed slightly, smiled in return, and said softly, "Boss, the medicine you gave me last time was very good. My lord has had a great appetite these past few days, and I would like to get some more."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's smile widened, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Oh, that's wonderful! Your Highness, please wait a moment, I'll pack up the appetite-stimulating medicine for you right away."
As he spoke, he deftly took out several medicinal herbs from the medicine cabinet, carefully weighed them, wrapped them in brown paper, and handed them to Su Wan'er, not forgetting to give her some instructions on how to use the medicine.
Su Wan'er took the medicine, nodded sincerely to the shop owner, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, boss."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she first looked around warily, and seeing that there was no one suspicious, she then left the clinic.
Xiao Die, who was hiding in the corner, saw everything. In particular, when she saw Su Wan'er come out with medicine in her hand, she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, her face full of surprise, and she wondered to herself what the medicine was for.
She held her breath and waited until Su Wan'er's figure completely disappeared before she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and slowly walked out from the corner towards the clinic, glancing back from time to time as she walked, her expression revealing a mixture of caution and curiosity.
Xiaodie walked slowly into the clinic with slightly hesitant steps. As soon as she reached the door, she stopped and carefully looked around cautiously. Her gaze was like a scanner, scanning the surrounding environment from top to bottom and left to right. Her brows furrowed involuntarily, as if she was deep in thought.
The middle-aged man at the counter had noticed Xiaodie's unusual behavior long ago. He was full of doubts, but still had a smile on his face as he asked, "Miss, are you here to buy medicine?"
Hearing the voice, Xiaodie snapped out of her daze and instinctively moved closer to the counter. She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered her voice to whisper to the shopkeeper, "Sir, I want to ask you, what kind of medicine did that woman buy?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately understood and said with a smile, "Oh, you mean Princess Su! She said that the Ninth Prince hasn't had a good appetite lately, so she bought some appetite-stimulating medicine to help him recover. She's truly a virtuous and kind princess, so devoted to the prince. The affection between them is truly enviable..."
Xiaodie listened to her boss's words, her lips curled slightly, and she snorted inwardly, muttering to herself, "Hmph, virtuous and kind-hearted~ I think she has no good intentions."
The boss didn't quite hear Xiaodie's words and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
Xiaodie snapped out of her daze, her expression slightly flustered. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh, it's nothing, thank you." Without waiting for the owner's response, she turned and hurriedly left the clinic, her back view looking as if something was chasing her.
The boss watched Xiaodie's departing figure, completely bewildered. He scratched his head, feeling that the girl's behavior was a bit strange, but he didn't think much of it. After shaking his head, he continued to bury himself in his work.
Xiaodie walked forward hurriedly, but her mind was still preoccupied with the scene she had just witnessed at the clinic. Her brows were furrowed tightly, as if she could trap a fly in them.
As she walked, she muttered to herself, "I have to hurry back and tell Miss."
As she spoke, her expression grew increasingly urgent, and her pace quickened involuntarily, as if some extremely urgent matter was urging her on. In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared into the distance on the street.
