Looking at this red packet, Lu Xingwang could roughly guess what it was for.
Jian Mei was afraid that he wouldn’t accept it, so he spoke vaguely. “I have a lot of pocket money. I’m currently in my hometown and I don’t have any expenses here. Take it, I originally wanted to keep the money to buy candied hawthorn. Now, I’ve eaten it, so it’s like I’m treating you to some.”
In fact, the Jian family wasn’t really poor, but they had good family traditions and values. Jian Mei’s parents were frugal people, if they weren’t afraid that no one would take care of Jian Mei, they wouldn’t hire a nanny. As for other expenses, they based it on normal family spending. They would only buy a phone once it was broken, and would only buy clothes when the season changed. They were never extravagant and wasteful, nor would they be stingy on food and clothing.
Lu Xingwang replied to him. [I’m not short of money, take it back.]
Jian Mei felt upset upon seeing the reply.
Dazhuang-ge was really a good and independent boy. No matter how difficult his life was, he didn’t want to cause trouble to others and even pretended to be strong! But the more he was like this, the more Jian Mei couldn’t stand by and do nothing. Dazhuang-ge treated him so well. Now he could afford to buy his Dazhuang-ge candied hawthorn, he must do this well.
There was a pitter-pattering sound as Jian Mei typed. [It’s okay, don’t be polite with me. If you don’t take it, then we’re not friends!”
Lu Xingwang: ……
He didn’t know what went wrong that made Jian Mei have some misunderstanding about him.
As he thought of this, he thought of a possibility. He never liked to argue with others but at this moment, he strangely lowered his bottom line for Jian Mei. He explained to him. [It’s useless to give me the money, there’s no candied hawthorn in my place.]
The two of them discussed this matter again.
Jian Mei held his phone as he pondered for a while, then he asked cautiously. “Is your place far from the city?”
Lu Xingwang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn’t want Jian Mei to get involved in these messy and dark matters. He only replied: [Very far.]
Jian Mei: [How far is it?]
Lu Xingwang didn’t want to give him any hope. [It’s farther than you think.]
So far that
We might never meet each other in a lifetime.
The light of Stan Star couldn’t reach Earth. The difference between them was far more than a candied hawthorn.
Lu Xingwang had just thought about it when Jian Mei, who was on the other end of the communication terminal, spoke softly after a brief moment of silence. “Actually, come to think of it, candied hawthorn isn’t that delicious.”
Lu Xingwang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Now that I reflect on it, I think that candied hawthorn seems to be a bit greasy too,” said Jian Mei. He was carefully protecting Lu Xingwang’s feelings. “Oh, I still have to go brush my teeth later, so annoying.”
His tone was cheerful and he concluded it. “You have to eat less of this stuff.”
Lu Xingwang saw through what Jian Mei was doing. [Don’t you like to eat sweets?]
Jian Mei was like a small animal whose inner thoughts were exposed.
“I-I like it very much.” He pursed his lips and said somewhat helplessly, “But my health condition is preventing me from eating too many sweets, so I have to control it.”
An ordinary boy might comfort Jian Mei at this time.
Unfortunately, Jian Mei was facing Lu Xingwang; the third prince’s thought process was unordinary. [Too much sugar intake is indeed not good for the body.]
Lu Xingwang was always straight to the point. [You don’t usually get enough exercise, so pay more attention.]
Jian Mei gulped upon seeing the message on the phone.
Dazhuang-ge is really righteous!
But this showed Dazhuang-ge’s concern for him, right? Although his way of expressing it was subtle and quite awkward, as long as you felt it with your heart, you could still feel the boy’s somewhat awkward tenderness.
Jian Mei’s lips perked up into a smile. He replied, “En, I know.”
He put down his phone and went to brush his teeth. However, His Highness who had told him to eat less sweets that weren’t good for his health was lost in his thoughts.
Aruo came in from the outside and said to him, “Your Highness, the young general sent a word that he’ll come over in the afternoon to discuss something with you.”
Lu Xingwang nodded. “I understand.”
Aruo put down the fruit tray she brought with her and was about to leave when she was called out. “Wait.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Lu Xingwang’s gaze fell on the fruit plate and his slender fingers tapped unrhythmically. He seemed to be thinking for a moment before opening his lips, “I remembered that the cooks in the palace often make some candy balls?”
Cgeb delmxis gfqilfv. “Tfr, atf mjcvs yjiir jgf jnjlijyif jii sfjg gbecv. Pa’r ktja atf mbcmeylcfr jcv cbyif ijvlfr ibnf ab fja. Ktlr mjcvs yjii lr wjvf ogbw oibkfgr ys atf ubegwfa qglfra.

“En.”
Lu Xingwang nodded. He remembered the transfer function from some time ago. If possible, he’d let the child have some candy balls and it should make him happy.
With some hesitation, Aruo said, “Why did Your Highness think of it today?”
Wasn’t this something only girls or kids would love?
Would there be a guest?
That was impossible. Even the princesses of neighboring countries who previously wanted to visit didn’t get this benefit.
Lu Xingwang came to his senses and said to her, “Prepare some and send it over.”
Aruo was slightly shocked, yet what was even more shocking was still to come. Lu Xingwang said to her calmly, “Don’t take from the palace’s kitchen, as this kind of thing can be easily messed up. You make some yourself and keep an eye on it.”
At this moment, Aruo already understood the importance of this guest. She immediately responded. “Understood.”
“Then…” She had a bold guess that this was a distinguished guest, so she asked another question. “Do you need me to prepare anything else? Aside from candy balls, there are also some seasonal snacks in the palace. Do you want me to make some of them?”
Lu Xingwang was silent for a moment before he spoke again. “No need.”
He thought that he shouldn’t spoil Jian Mei after all.
The next day.
Early in the morning, many people were outside, some walking on the streets and some visiting doctors. The Jian family’s courtyard was surprisingly lively. Jian Mei didn’t know if it was just his illusion, but he found that many people were looking at him very enthusiastically.
Jian Mei: ?
Aunt Zhang was the first one to come over. “Meimei! Aiya, you’re such a blessed child.”
Jian Mei looked at her with some confusion.
“Do you still remember the medicine that you gave me last time?” Aunt Zhang clapped her hands and heaved a deep sigh. “I used to take the medicine your grandpa gave. My old problem kept on recurring, and I don’t know what was going on! After you came here, you prepared the medicine for me, ah, and I haven’t had any back pain at night!”
The people in the village were somewhat superstitious.
Jian Mei smiled. “It was just a coincidence.”
Aunt Zhang shook her head and pointed to someone nearby. “It’s also the same for your Aunt Li.”
Aunt Li, who was called out, came over and said, “Don’t you think it’s unbelievable? My body was uncomfortable but it suddenly became better within the past two days. I used the same prescription made by Grandpa Jian, but strangely I’ve suddenly become better this time.”
Not only the two of them, but many people who had received the medicine followed after them and said they had seen the difference.
The prescription was made by Grandpa Jian and the person who prepared the medicine was changed to Jian Mei. There was just a subtle difference, but the effect was unexpectedly good.
Jian Mei was confused. “Really?…”
Aunt Zhang was still a bit excited. She came over and grabbed Jian Mei’s hand. “Meimei, ah. Hurry up and help me prepare another medicine, ah?”
Jian Mei became a little dizzy from his arm being grabbed and swayed around. From the side, Shen Meina hurriedly came over to separate the two for fear of her child being hurt. She said to Aunt Zhang, “Auntie, look. What does a child know? Chinese medicine is used to condition the body. By taking the medicine on time, the body will gradually get better. The prescription given by Grandfather Jian is certainly not bad. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Grandpa Jian instead. Jian Mei is a child and doesn’t deserve your gratitude.”
Aunt Zhang said with some doubts. “Is it a matter of conditioning?”
Aunt Li also became hesitant after hearing Shen Meina’s words. “If you say so, then it seems reasonable. However, we just really think…”
Jian Shencheng also came out of the house and smiled politely. He said, “It’s a good thing that you’ve recovered, but you also have to trust science.”
Hearing this, they immediately thought that they might be a little excessive, and didn’t dwell on it too much. However, they were still talking about it even after they had left.
“But we really feel much better than before.”
“This is really weird, right?”
“No doubt. It’d be great if Meimei became a doctor in the future.”
After seeing these neighbors leave, Shen Meina took her husband and child back to the kitchen to prepare today’s breakfast. She said to Jian Mei, “Have you been helping grandpa these past few days?”
Jian Mei said, “Brother has helped a lot too.”
Father Jian’s concern was different. “You didn’t make any mistakes while preparing the medicine, did you?”
“Dad!” Jian Mei huffed. “I wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake, oh.”
It was really strange because although Jian Mei usually did math problems carelessly, he was extremely talented in Chinese medicine. Since he was a child, he could remember the medicinal effects of various herbs and could also remember the layout and display of the medicine cabinet quickly.
Father Jian teased him. “Yes, yes, yes. Dr. Jian’s patients had come to the door to say thank you so early in the morning.”
Shen Meina was steaming egg custard when she heard this. She glanced at them and said, “It was rather like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. There’s no such magical thing in the world. Oh, there’s also some kind of blessing from picking medicines out of the cabinet? What do you think your son is? Possessed by the God of Medicine and blessed with divine power, ah?”
Father Jian chuckled. “Why is it impossible?”
Shen Meina looked at his smug look. She knew that although her husband didn’t say it, he was proud of their child. She said playfully, “If that was true, the gods must have heard my prayers.”
While they were talking, a few more patients came from the outside.
The village was bustling with activity during the National Day holiday. Naturally, many people came to visit the Jian family.
They looked out of the window and found that it was Aunt Li, who had left and returned again. She came back with a bag of pickles and said, “Oh, Xiaoshen. These are homemade pickles. Didn’t you go on a TV show some time ago? I watched it. You said on the show that you wanted to eat pickled radishes. The ones that can be bought in the market doesn’t have the same flavors as the homemade ones. These are all freshly marinated. They taste really good with porridge.”
Shen Meina was a little surprised. “Auntie, you’re…too kind.”
“It’s nothing,” said Aunt Li with a smile. “Who in the village hasn’t been helped by your family? This is what I should do.”
Father Jian came over and carried the somewhat heavy pickles. “We’re all neighbors. You watched me grow up. My father has been alone all these years, and everyone has been taking care of him. We’re the ones who should be thankful.”
Aunt Li’s smile deepened. “It’s no effort at all.”
The people in the village sometimes gossip, but most of the people were innocent and kind. They weren’t wicked, but warm and generous.
Father Jian went back to continue cooking breakfast, while Jian Mei went to brush his teeth and wash his face and to wake his brother up.
While Aunt Li was teaching Shen Meina how to pickle vegetables, she said, “You’re also blessed. Your two sons are competent and excellent, ah. Look at Meimei, ah. My children just know how to play games at home, while Meimei knows how to help his grandpa. Which child doesn’t like to play, right? But he’s busy getting medicine all day every day, it must be tiring ah? But I haven’t seen Jian Mei throw a fit.”
Shen Meina smiled and said, “He is interested in those things.”
Aunt Li finally found an opportunity to say her point. “Xiaoshen, if you don’t mind me saying this. At this age, Meimei should focus on his studies. Nowadays, most children have to study for the Mathematical Olympiad and other reputable tests. Meimei is already lagging behind in those areas, and if he doesn’t work hard, then what he’s going to do about senior high school entrance exams and university entrance exams in the future?”
Shen Meina’s movements paused.
Aunt Li still remembered her quarrel with Jian Changjia, so she added. “It’s the same for Changjia. You and Shencheng are busy at work, but you can’t ignore your children’s education. Changjia always likes to play and he seems to like music. These two children aren’t interested in school. I’m telling you, you have to push them.”
With the wise advice in her ears, Shen Meina raised her head and looked at Jian Mei not far away, who was squatting by the well and brushing his teeth with his brother.
Shen Meina had distinctive facial features and looked somewhat cold and elegant. However, when she looked at her children, she’d instantly soften a lot. She smiled gently and looked down with some relief and tenderness. “I just want my children to be healthy and happy.”
Her two children had suffered a lot since they were little.
The first time Jian Changjia learned to walk and crawl was when she and her husband were fighting for their careers. During those years, they spent more time being away and couldn’t accompany their child enough. Before they finally had the chance to breathe, she was already pregnant with her second child.
Jian Mei’s birth made them move their attention away from the elder son and focused on the younger.
Later, when their second child finally became a little older, they wanted to spend time with Jian Changjia and take care of him, but their younger son suddenly became seriously ill. Other children could freely run in the sun, but her son could only spend his entire childhood in the gloomy and closed hospital ward, day in and day out.
Aunt Li was about to say something when Shen Meina whispered, “I appreciate your kindness. Don’t worry, I’ll pay more attention to it.”
However, there was no point forcing a child to learn something if they weren’t really talented at it.
Her and Jian Shencheng’s hard work didn’t bring much benefit or blessing to their children, and if there was nothing else she could make up for, she only hoped that it’d be enough for her to do whatever was in her ability to make her children’s lives better as much as possible.
In the afternoon.
Jian Mei carried a small fruit tray to the study to bring fruit to his grandpa and father.
When he approached the door, he heard his grandfather talking to his father about pharmacology. It wasn’t a good time for him to interrupt, so he waited for a while at the door.
Grandpa Jian’s voice came from the inside. “This kind of poison is usually not fully controlled and cleaned up by western medicine instruments used by many big hospitals.”
Father Jian seemed to be thinking about something as well. “En, many doctors aren’t well-experienced in this field. I’m afraid this will be difficult to handle.”
“I read a lot of books before I finally found some clues.” Grandpa Jian’s voice was tinged with exhaustion. “I learned about alchemy and making medicine from your great grandfather back then, but that’s not the biggest problem.”
Father Jian took the yellowed pages of the medical book and with just a glance, he frowned. “Some of these herbs are hard to find now.”
The loss of Chinese medicine was very detrimental. Nowadays, few people pay attention to this, but the number of medicinal herb collectors had shrunk significantly. As a result, many valuable herbs were either difficult to obtain because of sky-high prices, or simply because no one could find them. It wasn’t that their family couldn’t afford it, but the channels for these were very difficult to find.
Grandpa Jian nodded. “Even if we find all of them, the chance of successfully refining it is also very low.”
Jian Mei couldn’t understand what they were talking about, but he instinctively felt nervous.
Grandpa Jian noticed the movement, so he glanced towards the door and said tentatively, “Meimei?”
Seeing that he was called out, Jian Mei pushed the door open slightly and walked in with the fruit tray. “Grandpa, Mom told me to bring you fruit.”
Father Jian smiled and said, “Okay, you’ve worked hard.”
Jian Mei smiled and asked casually, “What were you talking about just now, Grandpa?”
Grandpa Jian wouldn’t usually avoid telling Jian Mei, but in this case, for some reason, he seemed hesitant. But in the end, he still shook his head and said, “It’s nothing important.”
Jian Mei pursed his lips and didn’t continue to ask. However, when he was about to take away the fruit tray, from his peripheral view, he saw a colored photo that his grandpa had placed on the table. It was the one he had printed out— Dazhuang-ge’s photo.
After returning to his room, Jian Mei became a little restless.
He had always believed in his grandpa’s and dad’s medical skills. It might be an arrogant belief but if even his grandpa found it difficult, it must be a big problem. Even his dad said it was difficult, so was Dazhuang-ge’s condition…was it very critical?
Jian Mei’s heart sank as he thought about what his grandpa had said about herbs and became frustrated again. “Why can’t I help out?”
What should he do if his dad and grandpa couldn’t find the herbs?
Where could he buy those herbs?
Jian Mei rolled around on the bed because his mind was in a whirlwind and so he casually opened the app mall. He usually didn’t play with his phone, but without knowing it, he actually saved up more than 1k points and could download a lot of apps.
While he was browsing, an app came into his view.
[All Kinds of Medicine]
It was a new experience for Jian Mei. After he clicked on the app, he found that it was actually a drugstore app. There was a lot of Chinese herbal medicine on the list, but he had never heard of many of the things listed. However, these required points to download. Compared to QQ and The King that only needed very few points, the All Kinds of Medicine app required a full 500 points to use.
Jian Mei took a breath. “So expensive.”
But…
There were many herbs in here. In the introductory page, there were actually some that he hadn’t even seen in books, so it would be good to download and study it.
Jian Mei hesitated for a moment before clicking ‘OK’ to download.
The system gave a prompt. “[All Kinds of Medicine] app needs to obtain transfer permission and location sharing.”
“If you don’t give permission, the app can’t be downloaded.”
Jian Mei clicked ‘OK’. The phone instructed it to be close to the charger and long-press the white button to enable the so-called transfer permission. It seemed he had done this before, but he kind of forgot about it. He never understood what the transfer was for? It couldn’t be just to transfer things; that would be too outrageous.
He took the charger, pressed the white button, and waited for a long time.
Jian Mei played with his bear pillow on the bed. Just when he was about to fall asleep, his mother’s voice came from downstairs. “Jian Mei, come down here for a minute and put your clothes away.”
“Okay.”
Jian Mei sat up, casually placed his bear pillow on the charger, and left the room.
On the other side.
Early evening.
Young General Zuo Qingshan came to Lu Xingwang’s camp in a heavy mood because he was going to talk about his missing father later.
Things happened without warning. It was difficult for him to accept his father’s death. Lu Xingwang was like a basin of cold water that woke him up to confront all this. Sometimes, he had to admit that he couldn’t compare to Lu Xingwang. After getting along with him a few times, he found that Lu Xingwang was attentive and had terrifying strengths. The confrontation with the crown prince in the past few days also made him realize this. He even felt fortunate that he and Lu Xingwang weren’t enemies.
As a matter of fact, he didn’t really want to be involved with people with deep backgrounds in the city, but he had to come for his father.
This was also the first time he met with him in private. He had only seen Lu Xingwang in public in the past. Zuo Qingshan opened the curtain and was inevitably curious. Is His Highness, who’s usually indifferent and ruthless, the same in private?
The curtain was opened and simple furnishings inside were exposed. Lu Xingwang, who was sitting by the table, was holding an orange baby bear pillow in his hand. He looked towards the door when he heard the sound. Suddenly, their eyes met, and the surroundings became quiet.
The author has something to say:
Jian Mei: Where’s my pillow? Why did such a big pillow disappear on the charger ?”

Hm, LXW returned it. He fixed it because it wasn’t working anymore. Jian Mei brought it to Xiao Peng but what faced him was his friend’s death. He also brought it at that time. It was in the previous chapters.
Omg you are right! Forget what I say, momentary memory loss 😆

I knew iiit, jian mei probably has divine power, one that help healing 🧐 but i really wonder how he got it though… and how he will heal his dazhuang ge when he’s so far away 😭
I’m not sure, but it might have something to do with Jain Mei’s grandfather. I’m thinking he didn’t actually randomly find the phone on ground.
The ruthless image crumbled hahaha
Thanks for the chapter
Okay, but this is my favourite novel right now. Has Jian Mei really been blessed by the Stan Star god of medicine? Will he be able to cure Lu Xingwang? Also, lmfao, the pillow.
