The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1336 - 1416: Yun Ge’s Past
Yun Ge lowered her head, absentmindedly poking at the food on her plate with her chopsticks, "That was a long time ago," truly, so much time had passed that she almost forgot.
Dong Huiying touched her own bald head, "I care a lot." She glanced at Yun Ge, then reached out a hand to gently stroke Yun Ge’s cheek with heartache. She felt Yun Ge’s eye patch, "Your past determines my attitude. The poison I used, it wouldn’t actually kill anyone. I felt that to kill her all at once would be too easy for her."
Yun Ge’s eyes reddened slightly and she pressed her lips, "How much have you guessed?" At this moment, she seemed as fragile as a glass doll, as if a gentle touch would shatter her.
"When we met as children, it was because of human traffickers, right? As for the Ninth Princess, I can guess a bit. I was sold by an old woman who treated me like a monster, and the Ninth Princess, perhaps it is because of the filth within the Imperial Court, but you, is it because of her?"
The three of them met in the caravan of human traffickers, nearly being transported out of Dayuan, almost sold to Dajin.
Yun Ge’s body trembled slightly, "I used to have a Medicine Man, his single name was Yao."
"Due to my identity, from a young age, I’ve had many people around me. Before..." She laughed bitterly, "Back then, life truly was carefree, knowing nothing, so naive and innocent."
"Grandmother wanted me to learn Medical Skill, hoping I’d inherit Medicine Valley. I didn’t want to, found learning medicine too dry, too bitter, but grandmother doted on me a lot..."
"That time, I took Yao brother, along with some guards and retinue. We were supposed to go to Jiangnan. But our whereabouts were leaked. Yun Shuihan was older than me. Although I didn’t like studying medicine, grandmother said I was talented, said I was smart, and indeed, even with my inconsistency, my progress was much faster than hers."
"Without me, she would surely be the Medicinal Valley Descendant, the one to lead Medicine Valley. Without me, the Grand Elder’s faction would certainly become the Master of Medicine Valley."
"But who told me to be born? My mere existence was intolerable for them, let alone that I learned faster than Yun Shuihan. So, I blocked their path. Yun Shuihan was young back then, so the human traffickers’ affair, it was done by the Grand Elder."
"My retinue, my guards, all dead. Yao brother was older than me, not just my Medicine Man, he also protected me. After those guards died, Yao brother took me and fled, but then came a group in pursuit. Yao brother fought them off, sent me away, but how old was I then? No adults by my side, unable to find the way home, no Silver, nothing, and was fearful, ultimately falling into the hands of human traffickers by mistake."
"Actually, it was quite fortunate, otherwise, if I fell into the Grand Elder’s hands, only death awaited me."
Having recounted this, Yun Ge grasped Dong Huiying’s hand.
"Later, we came to the Capital with the Ninth Princess. I managed to contact grandmother. She was afraid something would happen to me, but I believed it was all the fault of learning medicine. If only I hadn’t learned medicine. A child, young, couldn’t think it through, things weren’t considered thoroughly, and got caught up in a blind spot."
"Grandmother truly loved me, I wanted to stay in the Capital, so she let me stay. I didn’t want to return to Medicine Valley, didn’t force me. But until that time..."
