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.

The maid said, "Ma'am, after all, Doctor Lu is an outsider. Is it really appropriate for him to see the Princess Consort so abruptly?"


"Inappropriate? What's inappropriate?" Meng Xiyang scattered a few grains of fish food with an indifferent hand and watched the fish in the water surface vying for food as she chuckled lightly.


"It's precisely because he is an outsider that it is better; an outsider makes it seem all the more unrelated to us."


It was rather coincidental. Pei Yunshu was neither early nor late in showing symptoms, just so happened to do so today. Early this morning, Prince Wen had gone to the palace, leaving only her, the Consort, present in the mansion. Should anything untoward truly happen to Pei Yunshu today, although there would be no evidence, others would inevitably gossip, blaming her, the Consort, for not being attentive.
