Chapter 20: Saving People from the Leaderboard

legitimate daughter of Marquis Jidu, I have never been brought before anyone by my father, let alone entering the palace.That's right. 。Last night, the Emperor had people investigate the specifics ab...A middle-aged man grabbed the girl's clothes and lifted her up.

"Don't give me crap! Right now, the wife of the prime minister is on death's door. People say that she needs the eyeballs of an unmarried woman born in a yang year, yang month, and yang day to make medicine, in order to cure her illness."

Whoever is willing to sell their eyeballs for one thousand taels of silver, and the prime minister promises to take care of the rest of their lives after selling their eyes. 。"Such a good thing, where the hell are you going to find it! Still crying here!" 。The middle-aged man, after saying that, slapped the girl hard on both cheeks, knocking her unconscious. He then carried her toward the direction of the Prime Minister's mansion. 。Looking at this scene, Qingxuan not only frowned... 。The original owner and her mother washed clothes by the river these years, hearing from some old women about things concerning nobles. 。She searched for information about the prime minister Chen Guo in the original owner's memory. 。Prime Minister Song Tingfeng was now over forty years old. Born into a scholarly family, his father had once been a top scholar. In order to repay the country, he diligently studied and climbed his way up to the position of prime minister. However, at forty years old, he still had no intention of getting married until he met Xu Rouniang, who was twenty years younger than him. 。The prime minister finally found his beloved, and they were together after much hardship. 。It is said that there are rumors circulating that the prime minister was known for his integrity and serving the people. Now, he is in a hurry to do something as outlandish as buying someone's eyeballs, it seems Xu Rou'niang should be in a life-or-death situation. 。Qingxuan glanced at the sky. It was still early, so she immediately followed the middle-aged man to the Prime Minister's residence. 。

Two notices were posted at the gate of the prime minister's mansion. Many people gathered around, but no one dared to tear them down.

Qingxuan followed the middle-aged man upstairs and saw that the notice board read: "Seeking a good doctor, who can cure the illness of the Minister's wife even without looking at her eyes. Time is urgent; if anyone dares to tear down this notice but fails to cure the illness, their hands will be broken, and they will be unable to practice medicine again.

Seeing such a list, Qingxuan gasped. 。

A doctor uses their own skills to save people. A patient falls ill and it is not caused by the doctor's fault, yet this chancellor makes the doctor bear such consequences. It's no wonder that no one dares to take on the job.

However, just at that moment, the middle-aged man directly tore down the second list.

Qingxuan followed her gaze and discovered that the second item on the list was a wanted poster for an eye.

The content on the list is the same as what that middle-aged man said in the bamboo grove, requiring a bright year, bright month, and bright time, and it must be for unmarried girls' bright eyes. 。

As soon as the middle-aged man tore up the second list, a white-haired old man hurried out of the mansion.

From this white-haired old man's attire, he should be the steward of this prime minister's mansion. 。The steward asked the middle-aged man to take out the birthday eight characters of the girl. 。"Sure enough, born in a sunny year, sunny month, and sunny time! Quickly tell the master and bring the person inside." 。As if sensing that her eyeballs were about to be taken, the girl happened to wake up at this time. 。The young girl began to cry and shout in front of the Prime Minister's mansion: "I don't want my eyeballs dug out, I don't want this money! Uncle, please let me go back!" The steward saw this and immediately ordered the servants to tie up the crying girl. 。

The girl looked around with red eyes, filled with despair.

It was as if calling to heaven and earth were useless. 。

I never expected the world to be so absurd, that it would take someone else's eyes to make a medicine.

"

Wait!

Qingxuan flung herself to the ground with a loud cry, and before everyone could react, she ripped down the first name list in front of them.

" 。As expected of the steward from a minister's household who has seen many storms, after a brief moment of shock, the steward quickly regained his composure and walked up to her. 。The butler's sharp gaze swept over her, up and down. 。"Young lady, I believe you're too young to be pointing out mistakes on the list." 。“I’m right, I don't need to look into people's eyes to know how to cure the lady minister's illness.” 。As soon as Qingxuan's voice came out, the bound girl did not show the slightest joy that she could be saved immediately. Instead, the girl choked and said to her: "Miss, thank you for your kindness in wanting to save me" 。But now the Prime Minister's wife is on death's door, needing a living person's eyeball as medicine to remove the evil spirits from her body. 。If you fail to cure her illness, you'll lose everything, even your life. 。ldn't help but say, "If Your Highness the Crown Princess finds these pastries delicious, when you leave the palace, I will have Mingxi prepare some more for Your Highness to take back to the manor and...
