Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Herbs for the mistress

"Who sent all this?" wu Li Mei asked after arriving at her new drugstore and realized there were some sacks of dried herbs that she did not know from whom. Because the dried herbal plants that he ordered will only come in two days, that was also the fastest estimate because it came from a distant country.

Suddenly discovering the myriad of herbs in his medicinal shop left Wu Li Mei perplexed on her own. The mistress who was wearing a veil to cover her identity was checking again and again, the herbs were excellent and the quality was also good.

"Yes, madam?"

"Who is this from?" ask Wu Li Mei again.

"That's a shipment from the palace, Lady Wu!" lan Suo's reply walked over to Wu Li Mei, "It was only then that the imperial guards sent out countless dried herbs to be concocted and used as medicine."

"From palace?"

"Tabib Zhong huh?" Wu Li Mei frowned confusedly, and the one name that flashed across her head was only the middle-aged healer with that shady face."Why bother like this Physician Zhong, even though they are very much needed in the palace environment."

"Not Physician Zhong mistress, but from His Majesty Emperor Zhou."

Wu Li Mei froze on the spot, he blinked slowly trying to digest what Lan Suo said. "Emperor?"

"Yes, madam. The bodyguards say this is for you, as a reward for your hard work in providing medicine to the people and again as empathy because our drugstore is on fire. This morning they came to deliver it and left you a message."

"What kind of emperor is he?"

"Emc ... " Lan Suo tried to recall the stature of someone who claimed to be from the palace earlier. "He was tall, skinny, wearing an expensive hanfu and looked dignified. Physician Zhong's Age."

"Oh, it must be Eunuch Hao."

"Easim Hao? Who is he, madam?"

"He's the emperor's envoy, you don't need to know because he rarely leaves the palace. I thought Commander Hao would bring him here."

Lan Suo conveyed what the imperial guard envoy said earlier, they came early in the morning in a horse carriage and delivered several sacks of herbal medicine belonging to the palace health center. At first he was also confused because the herbs Wu Li Mei was going to have until a few more days, but the palace sent them a lot of dried herbs. This is enough to stock up a month more in a state of outbreak like this. Lan Suo lowered her head in fear as Wu Li Mei started to shut up and stared expressionlessly, I don't know what the madam was thinking so seriously.

The palace sent a large amount of dried herbs, if this was not the plan of Physician Zhong, then the emperor was the one. How to thank him later, and whether maybe he already knew if the grand concubine who owned this drug store.

"Here you go, forget about Wu Li Mei!" said the concubine to himself, after which he did a little stretching to straighten the stiff muscles. "We have to focus on these medications, it looks like today is a busy day and it may not be finished in a day's time."

"How's madam?" ask Lan Suo.

"I feel very grateful to Emperor Zhou, but now the most important thing is that we have to wrap these drugs so that they are ready to be sold to the people. But it seems we need a lot of energy."

"We're ready to help, ma'am!"

Wu Li Mei turned around and found her two children, Dayang Yi and Lu Yan coming together. "We're gonna help mom, so don't worry about it."

"How did you guys get here? What about Jiang Wu?"

"She was with her babysitter, which you-I mean mistress." Lu Yan patted his own mouth as he almost forgot that they were outside the palace surroundings.

Wu Li Mei nodded twice, she understood that Zhou Jiang Wu was no longer fussy and was easier to take care of after being with him. The child is active but does not bother others, so the maids can certainly take care of him well. The most important thing was that he was safe during his stay in the grand concubine pavilion. "Thank God he's in the right hands."

"You can believe it, madam. The babysitter's dayang has been babysitting her since infancy." replied Dayang Yi.

"Let's just calm ma'am, Master Zhang left for some time so we have plenty of free time besides studying" replied Zhou Ming Hao, the crown prince wearing a veil so that no one recognized him.

The beautiful little sister nodded twice, "Yes mother, we were eager to help so we came here. Mom will definitely need help so we're willing to help."

Then complete already what was lacking today, with these personnel Wu Li Mei confident they could wrap up enough medicine for the next few days. At least when the store opens later, they already have stock of drugs so that people do not need to wait anymore. The outbreak of disease that hit Ming Country was still not over, not severe to the point of causing many casualties, but still almost everyone was infected making Wu Li Mei worried.

***

"Where?"

"Well, I'm sure you'll love eating there."

Zhou Fang Yin exhaled tired breaths, already far away they walked even several times turning the road because the brother was eager to eat bakpao cake in a tavern. But it seemed like Zhou Ming Hao had forgotten about the place because they had not been there since, "You're sure it was delicious?"

"With Xiao Yin, I've already eaten there. You just calm down because it's gonna be good."

"But we can't leave the store for too long, there's a lot of work there, brother."

"Yes I know-it's him!!"

Strangled the crown prince as he walked faster to approach the bakpao bakpao seller shop is very crowded, some people who queue there are also very enthusiastic because the bakpao steam to billow into the air. Luckily the queue wasn't too long, so they could buy right away.

"Excuse me ma'am, I want to buy a bakpao!"

Zhou Ming Hao directly chose the bakpao he wanted to buy, the elder brother took the role because he originally wanted to go alone and Zhou Fang Yin followed on the grounds of wanting to see the market. Yes, the beautiful beauty barely left the palace before, just now she dared to leave for helping Wu Li Mei, and life felt really alive here.

In between waiting, Zhou Fang Yin stared pityfully at the group of children in tattered camping clothes while scraping through the trash can to look for food. There were seven of them, three of them were the same age as Zhou Xie Ling, and there was another little baby that her brother was holding.

"Come, Xiao Yin!"

The crown prince patted the sister on the shoulder, showing off the basket wrapped in a basket and preparing to take her back to the drugstore.

The little sister smiled sweetly, "Sister first, I want to buy for those kids."

Zhou Ming Hao followed the direction of the younger brother's index finger, and he found the children who were scraping through the trash can, their looks very shabby and dirty. "That tramp boy? Are you sure you can go back alone? I was already so hungry, and the queue was so long Xiao Yin."

"I can do it myself, already, you're back."

"All right."

After the death of Zhou Ming Hao, in fact queuing to get a bakpao is not that easy. The beautiful girl had to jostle with many people who also wanted to buy a bakpao, they were all pushing each other as it got more and more crowded.

"Awhhh!!"

Screeched the princess as she fell down while being accidentally pushed by some people in line, complaining as her body greeted the slightly rocky ground. The princess clapped her palm full of dust, "Need help, miss?"

A hand reached out to him and as he looked up, he found a handsome young man with black hanfu trying to help him. "Thank you, sir." said the princess as she welcomed the hand.
