"A friend?"
Princess Qingyang was taken aback.
"What friend? Is it someone I know?"
Ye Chutang thought for a moment. "You don't know him, but you will once he arrives."
A spark of realization lit up Princess Qingyang's eyes, and she suddenly understood. "Could it be... the friend who went to Long City to pass on that message for you?"
Ye Chutang chuckled and nodded.
"Now that the matter in Long City has been settled, he'll surely take this opportunity to come to the Capital City and collect his reward from me."
She casually picked up an herb and lifted her chin.
"There. For these."
"So that's how it is!" Princess Qingyang's spirits lifted. She sat up from the wicker chair, her gaze sweeping over the numerous medicinal ingredients in front of Ye Chutang. "Are all these for him?"
Ye Chutang paused. "Some of them, yes."
Princess Qingyang didn't pay much mind to her words. After all, even though Ye Chutang no longer ran a medical hall, she was still busy.
