Su Tong walked to the small medicine warehouse in the mansion alone and took a look inside - Hey, why is there no one there?
"Is there anyone there?" Su Tong called out cautiously, leaning against the door.
There are so many medicine cabinets here. How can she know which drawer the good medicines are hidden in if no one helps her?
"I have met the princess!" As soon as he finished speaking, a rough and cold voice came from behind, making Su Tong tremble.
She turned back quickly and saw a middle-aged man in simple clothes standing respectfully behind her, but his head was lowered, so Su Tong couldn't see his appearance and expression clearly.
"Are you..." She raised her eyebrows in confusion and looked up and down at the man - is this man from the palace? Why haven't she seen him before?
"I'm in charge of the palace medicine storehouse. What is the princess looking for? Do you need help?" The man still lowered his head, but every word he spoke was respectful, and Su Tong didn't notice anything was wrong.
"I want some tonics, do you have any here..." Su Tong immediately reported the names of more than ten kinds of medicines.
The man lowered his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly thought of a plan, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence! There are all these medicines, but they are not in this room. Princess, please come with me!"
"
After saying that, he made a "please" gesture and motioned Su Tong to walk towards the backyard of the palace.
Su Tong hesitated - she had never been to the backyard in such a long time since she had been in the palace, and everyone seemed to be tight-lipped when it came to the backyard!
She only knew that that place was desolate and no one went there!
"Because the prince has ordered that the precious medicinal materials should be kept well, so they are placed in the backyard to prevent others from taking advantage of them." The man saw that Su Tong was hesitant to leave, so he deliberately explained, making Su Tong lower his guard.
She pursed her lips and thought of what she had promised Huo'er. She could only nod her head and follow him into the place called the backyard...
Along the way, her attention was focused on the desolate and dilapidated scenery and furnishings around her, so that when she walked into the backyard, she didn't notice the two big words written on the wall - "Forbidden Area"!
