The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1566 - 1653: Visitors from the Outside

Although the Eighth Princess was staying as a guest at the Zhu family residence, she had her own independent courtyard. Moreover, she had previously instructed Old Lady Zhu and others that, unless necessary or for significant matters, they should not disturb her. Therefore, her days at the Zhu family were quite peaceful and serene.

Unfortunately, her mind was burdened with too many worries.

The purpose of coming to Nanning had not been achieved. Even though many people were sent to investigate, they still could not discern where the hidden Female Empress was. Without finding Her Majesty the Empress, there was no way to see the Imperial Jade Seal, which made her trip seem completely in vain.

"Your Highness, I beg you to stand up for this old woman!"

Upon entering the courtyard, Old Lady Zhu appeared anxious, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The Eighth Princess looked at Old Lady Zhu with an indifferent expression and asked nonchalantly, "What has happened to make you so flustered?"

Old Lady Zhu, understanding her cue, immediately began discussing how the Zhu family’s businesses were being ’persecuted’ by the Huizi Store.

The Eighth Princess felt displeased by this: firstly, she hadn’t expected the Huizi Store to dare go against the Zhu family knowing she was behind them; secondly, she was inherently impatient with such matters.

However, during her stay in Nanling City searching for someone, the Zhu family had greatly aided her. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

To speak of it, the reason the Eighth Princess resided with the Zhu family was due in part to the ties between the Eighth Princess and the Zhu family.

The biological father of the Eighth Princess was a member of the Zhu family.

Therefore, since Old Lady Zhu was seeking her help, regardless of her willingness, she was obliged to assist both emotionally and logically.

After all, her connection with the Zhu family was as inseparable as bone and flesh.

The Eighth Princess said, "Alright, I understand. You may leave."

Old Lady Zhu was elated; she knew that with the intervention of the Eighth Princess, her troubles would soon be resolved, relieving her of further worry. She left with a satisfied and smug expression on her face.

However, as soon as Old Lady Zhu left, two strangers were brought in by the hidden guards of the Eighth Princess.

The person wore a black cloak, and judging by the figure, should be a woman. However, the woman’s stature did not resemble that of women from Dayuan, while the man accompanying her had a sturdy frame, appearing very burly, with skin tanned to a dark brown.

It turned out that these two were individuals whom the Eighth Princess had expended great effort to invite from The Outside.

It was said that the woman was the senior disciple of Miao Qing, the famed Gu Girl from Dajin, and shared the same teacher. Outsiders referred to this woman as ’Witch’. As for her stature, appearance, age, family background, and place of origin, nothing could be ascertained, and no one knew.

In recent years, this ’Witch’ had been living in seclusion in the desert, with the man by her side, seemingly both a disciple and a servant. Although, by Yuan People’s standards of aesthetics, he was considered ’ugly’ and was also taciturn, his loyalty to the ’Witch’ was unwavering.

There were also rumors.

This man supposedly once had a wife, but for reasons unknown, he ended up following the ’Witch’.

However, if Dong Huiying and Liang Haoming were here, they would certainly recognize at a glance.

This ’Witch’ was none other than Liu Yi!

Back then, to dispel the Mind-Bewitching Gu from Liang Zhichen, Dong Huiying specifically went to the desert to seek guidance, and the method for removing the Mind-Bewitching Gu was obtained from Liu Yi. The journey was anything but easy, and Liu Yi herself had been a source of much hardship.
