Mountain Wanderer

Lu Tong spent seven years studying medicine in the mountains, but upon returning home, he found everything had changed.

His eldest sister, a victim of foul play, met a tragic end.
His elder brother, wrongfully imprisoned, languished in dungeons.
His father journeyed to the capital to seek justice, only to meet a watery demise on the road.
His mother, driven to madness overnight, perished in flames.

Lu Tong packed his medical kit and headed to the capital of Jingzhou.

'Debts must be repaid, and lives must be avenged!
'If there's no judge, then I'll be the judge from Hell!'

In the capital, noble families faced successive tragedies,
Commander Pei Yunxing quietly investigated the matter,
And suspicions fell on a young woman from the Renxin Medical Hall.
However...
Before he could find evidence,
The girl made her move against him first.

Smiling Under Lanterns

Pei Yunshu subtly tried questioning Prince Wen about which family's daughter the Empress Dowager had taken a liking to, but Prince Wen changed the subject, not wishing to discuss it further with her.


Today, an imperial banquet was set before His Majesty, and many people of rank were present. Perhaps one of them was the marriage prospect the Empress Dowager had in mind.


It was just that she didn't know which family it was.


After zoning out for a while, Pei Yunshu shook her head. Speculating wildly was of no use to her; when the ship reached the pier, it would naturally straighten itself out. If that step indeed came, it wouldn't be too late to think of strategies then.


Moreover, it was possible that in assigning a marriage, the Empress Dowager might choose the very one her own brother liked best. He'd be eager to comply and wouldn't need her to worry unduly for him.
