There was not much information could be found on Shadow Gra.s.s .

According to the herbs record that Han Zhengting kept for years, Shadow Gra.s.s is a miraculous herb that can help to dispel any poison in one's body .

It comes at a height range of 3 to 50 inches . It looks like any common tall gra.s.s .

But, when it grew to 10 inches, the herbs will produce a red flower with a yellow rim . This flower is what one would use to identify the herbs . Unless the flower starts to bloom, it would be hard to locate this herb .

Because of its rarity, Shadow Herbs was sold at a higher price . Its price is even higher than the high-grade ginseng! However, no one knows why it was called Shadow Gra.s.s .

Han Zhengting was one of the lucky people who get to see the herbs in its dried form . When he was younger, he had seen his master used the gra.s.s to cure a patient . It was how he knew about this miraculous herbs .

But in the old record that her grandfather had, there was something else written on it . It says that the Shadow Gra.s.s required a sacrificial .

Mingyue and her grandfather thought about this for a long time . They discussed with all renowned physician in Da Cheng, and at the end, they concluded that there might be something poisonous around the herbs .

The poison is what protecting the herbs . They a.s.sume that a lot of people had died in the process of harvesting the herbs . That is what the old record meant by sacrificial .

Jiang Mingyue rushed out of the Imperial Infirmary as her s.h.i.+ft ended and headed straight to her grandfather's place .

When she arrived, Mingyue saw her second brother and a few others helped their grandfather to hold up a lady as she was struggling around and speaking gibberish .

Mingyue was startled . Looking at her aged face and white hair, she could guess that the woman was probably around her grandfather's age, or probably younger .

As she did not want to startle anyone, Mingyue waited at the door as she watched her grandfather administer acupuncture on the woman's body .

Then, the woman stopped struggling . After a while, she began to loosen up . Slowly, her breathing even .

Han Zhengting turned to the corner of the room where an elder man stood anxiously . He spoke something in a low voice to the other elder, and the elderly man would reply with nodding .

"You're here . " Jiang Xiao Tian spoke when he saw his sister .

Mingyue glanced at her brother and turned back to the man . "What's wrong with that elder lady?"

Xiao Tian loosened his grip on the man as he was now calm . Then, he went to his sister . "According to Grandfather, a knot in her heart caused her to act like this . There are times when she would be out of control . "

Mingyue continued to watch the man and her grandfather .

Xiao Tian turned towards the direction her sister was looking at . "That is her husband, Li Ran . After a while, I will let you talk to him and ask about the herbs you're looking for . "

Mingyue lifted her face to her brother . Looking at the way her second brother was looking at her, Jiang Mingyue understood something . "Is that the man you wanted me to meet?"

Xiao Tian nodded . "Don't worry . He will be able to answer your questions properly after this . "
