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

Lu Tong's expression changed dramatically.


Fangzi and Qiong Ying also abruptly raised their heads.


The next moment, the knocking on the door grew more rapid, and Meng Xiyang's voice sounded from outside, "Why has the Princess Consort been silent all this time? Could something have happened?"


Pei Yunshu opened her sweat-drenched eyes from the midst of her pain and gritted her teeth, "This is bad. Meng Xiyang might have become suspicious."


Outside, Meng Xiyang stood behind the crone, her face so dark it could drip with water.


Pei Yunshu had dismissed the medical officer who had come to diagnose her, leaving only the female doctor in the room, which always made her feel uneasy. Thus, she had sent a servant to the herbal shop where the female doctor's maid had collected the medicines, to ask the shopkeeper what they truly bought.
