After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 174 Medical Valley

"Yes, it's not just Master," Mu Xiaoxiao choked up, "There's also Senior Brother..."

Mu Xiaoxiao slowly told her past experiences.

Most of the people in the Divine Doctor Valley are homeless children adopted by the owner of the valley from outside. He selects those with good talents to be his heirs, and for those with less talents, he also teaches them poetry and books, and teaches them principles and how to be a good person.

Medicine and poison are essentially the same thing, it all depends on who uses it.

The old Valley Master of the previous generation did not teach medicine and poison separately, but passed them both to Mu Xiaoxiao's master, the former Valley Master of the Divine Doctor Valley.

Although this incident caused dissatisfaction among many disciples, no one dared to question the Valley Master's decision, and the matter just passed.

The disciples continued to practice as they should, and went down the mountain as they should, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

Things continued until this generation. The eldest disciple of the former master of the Divine Doctor Valley was only ten years old, and Mu Xiaoxiao was only five years old at the time. There was no rush to pass on the throne. One had to wait until this generation of disciples grew up to determine their character and qualifications, and then decide who would inherit the medical and poison skills.

Both of these things have two sides. If you choose the wrong people, they may cause chaos in the world.

But before they grew up, something unexpected happened in the Valley of Divine Doctors.

The valley master's life or death was unknown, and the eldest disciple had his hands and feet injured, so he was thrown down the mountain to fend for himself. The youngest disciple, Mu Xiaoxiao, was protected by the old man in the valley and escaped down the mountain. From then on, he lost his home and wandered around the world.

Mu Xiaoxiao learned the medical skills and poison scriptures from her master while secretly trying to find out the whereabouts of her master and senior brother.

She actually wanted to just fight her way back to the Valley of Divine Doctors, but she knew it in her heart.

That man had been planning for many years, and he definitely didn't kill just to avenge his master. He might also have done it for the medical and poison book in his arms, and for the thousand-year heritage of the Valley of Divine Doctors.

She spent the whole day huddled in the streets and alleys, watching people coming and going with the beggars.

It was not until she learned Yuan Qing's name from a beggar that she decided to try her luck.

Even if it doesn't work, it's better than wasting time here.

Therefore, only if she had taken the initiative to find Yuan Qing that year would she have waited for so long.

Mu Xiaoxiao was about to wipe her tears as she spoke.

Yuan Qing handed her the handkerchief.

In fact, she had never heard of Mu Xiaoxiao in the book, so she did not add her name to the list. Therefore, when she took the initiative to surrender, and also because she concealed part of the truth, Yuan Qing did not pay much attention to her at the beginning.

The first disciple from the Divine Doctor Valley that she wanted to recruit was actually Mu Xiaoxiao's senior brother, the young man who was crippled and thrown off the mountain.

But later she found out that the young man was finally accepted by Empress Dowager Yuan, so she gave up the idea of recruiting him.

This is her principle; she will not touch anything that does not belong to her.

If her guess was correct, the blind doctor who treated Wen Chengyu in the palace should be the senior brother that Mu Xiaoxiao had been looking for.

She helped Mu Xiaoxiao up and said, "I promised to give you a surprise."

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't understand and looked up at her.

Yuan Qing continued, "I sent people to the Divine Doctor Valley to gather information, and discovered that the current Valley Master had built a secret prison a few years ago. Although my people did not go in, we can be sure that—"

Yuan Qing said slowly under Mu Xiaoxiao's shocked gaze: "Your master is most likely in there. He should still be alive."
