One of the three famous temples in the Profound Realm Continent was the Daci Temple, dedicated to the Pharmacist Buddha Bhaisajyaguru.

He didn't say it out loud, but still, Princess Huaining was frightened out of her wits.

She thought to herself that she must bring Gu Feiyan away. What if Xia Xiaoman doesn't find a medicine girl that is compatible with Jingwang-gege’s eight-character? What will happen to Jingwang-gege in the next three months? Wouldn't he blame it all on her? Not to mention her, even the princes wouldn't be able to handle this kind of thing! Jingwang-gege is much more important to Tianyan than the little crown prince!

Seeing that Princess Huaining was hesitating, Eunuch Man said seriously, "Princess, this servant followed the order and Prince Jing is still waiting in the palace. You see …"

"Jingwang-gege is a man of importance. I'm just missing a servant. It won't be too late for me to wait for Jingwang-gege to finish his selection."

Although Princess Huaining was unwilling, she could only give in. She threw a disdainful glance at Gu Feiyan, calmly walked to the side and sat down on a stone chair, waiting. She didn't believe that a slut like Gu Feiyan would be worthy of her Jingwang-gege!

Gu Feiyan didn't have time to pay attention to Princess Huaining's disdain. She had already joined the ranks of medicine girls. At this moment, her mind was searching for the original owner's birth date. Although she didn't dare to hold out any hope, she still couldn't help but dream for such a coincidence.

She still had to have hopes, in case there was a chance!

To have Prince Jing as her backer was better than anything else! Even that stinky ice cube couldn't compare to it!

Very quickly, the Great Pharmacist, Nangong Qingyun, came upon hearing the news, accompanied by Shangguan Yinghong. Although His Highness Prince Jing didn't come personally, it was normal for such a big matter to alarm the Great Pharmacist.

The Great Pharmacist, Nangong Qingyun, was in his early fifties. His temples were not white at all. He wore a crescent white robe and had a long beard. He was quite a doctor.

He had naturally understood the situation before he had come here. After he had bowed to Princess Huaining, he hurriedly told Eunuch Man, "Eunuch Man, the selection of medicine girls by Prince Jing is a major event. Please come in and let’s talk about it."

Compared to when he was facing Princess Huaining, he was no longer as respectful when facing the Great Pharmacistl. He held up the pretense of being the head steward of Prince Jing's estate and said seriously, "Lord Nangong, please first stop all the medicine girls that are about to leave. This matter is urgent. We must bring the candidate back to our residence before nightfall today. Prince Jing happened to be at his residence tonight, so tonight was the night to decide who the final candidate would be! There's no need to talk any further. Just look at the eight-character of birth date. "

The moment Eunuch Man took out a brocade sack from his sleeves, everyone turned to look at him. This was truly the moment when the eight-character of birth decide the fate!

What would the eight characters that matched His Highness Prince Jing’s birth date be like?

He saw Eunuch Man pull out a paper slip from his bag and hold it in his hand.

With this, everyone became even more nervous. Princess Huaining was also very nervous. She wanted to get up and go over, but she sat down anyway. Eunuch Xue sneaked up to the Great Pharmacist, hoping to catch a glimpse. However, Eunuch Man glared viciously at him, forcing him to obediently retreat.

"Lord Nangong, the eight characters of the birth date as requested by Prince Jing is written behind this paper slip. As long as it's a medicine girl with the same eight characters as this one, we will take her away and let Prince Jing choose her personally! "

As Eunuch Man said this, he passed the paper slip to the Great Pharmacist. The crowd's gaze once again gathered on the Great Pharmacist, making him a bit nervous. He purposely walked to the side before opening the paper slip to read it carefully.

He didn't know what the eight characters of the birthdate was, but when the Great Pharmacist looked at it, it could be said that his expression was quite complicated!

The whole hall became even quieter as everyone nervously waited.

Gu Feiyan knitted her brows slightly. She was more curious about another thing than the eight characters of the birthdate.

There were many taboos when it came to asking for fortune reading and divination. Furthermore, it was related to the safety of His Highness Prince Jing, so it shouldn't be made public. Eunuch Man had wanted to pick a person but also secretly told the Great Pharmacist to arrange for him secretly! Was he not afraid of the news that would cause gossip for His Highness Prince Jing?

Or was it really that urgent?

If someone were to look closely, they would definitely notice that a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his temples.

Very soon, Eunuch Man urged, "Lord Nangong, have you seen it clearly?"

"I’ve seen it clearly." Lordr Nangong immediately held the paper slip in his hand and ordered his men, "Quickly, get the delivery office to suspend all assignments. Unless there is an urgent matter, none of the medicine girls are allowed to go out. Immediately submit your birthdays. "

He hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly said to Shangguan Yinghong, "Bring me the register. Find all the medicine girls that have been send outside immediately."

Originally, everyone was very nervous, but with the Great Pharmacist's arrangement, everyone became even more nervous.

Gu Feiyan thought that there was more than just the eight characters on the paper slip. There must be something else that couldn't be made public. Otherwise, the Great Pharmacist wouldn't be so nervous. Could it be that if he didn't find the person who matches the eight characters', the consequences would be very serious? Gu Feiyan didn't think too much about it. She followed the pharmacist back to her room to write her eight characters.

Eunuch Man stood in his spot and did not enter the room to take a seat. The Great Pharmacist could only accompany him. The Great Pharmacist seemed to have something to say to Eunuch Man, but seeing that Princess Huaining was staring at them, he had no choice but to give up.

Not long after, Shangguan Yinghong sent the register over. There were a total of fifty-seven medicine women in the Imperial Pharmacy, seven of which were borrowed, four of which had yet to return, leaving a total of forty-six.

Eunuch Man looked at it but did not say a word.

After a while, the medicine girls all came back, each of them wrote these eight characters on a piece of paper and handed it to Eunuch Man. One for each person, forty-six stacks of slips.

The Great Pharmacist seemed to be afraid of provoking gossip. With a cautious expression, he said seriously, "Men, come and help me with my brush and ink. Everyone's birth date will be checked in public! "

Princess Huaining didn't believe that Gu Feiyan had the ability to fake things. Hearing the Great Pharmacist's words, she felt even more relieved.

Soon, the ink and paper were brought up and placed on the stone table in the yard. The originally quiet courtyard turned silent. Eunuch Xue followed suit.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Great Pharmacist wrote the words "Geng Yin", making Shangguan Yinghong show it to everyone.

When Shangguan Yinghong displayed it, the medicine girls were all nervous.

Geng Yin. This was the year of her birth! The medicine girl was at least 10 years old, up to 40 years old, and had been around for 60 years. In other words, if the medicine girl was born in Geng Yin's year, she could only be 18 years old!

There were quite a few 18-year-old medicine girls. For a moment, everyone was excited, and quite a few of them could not keep their mouths shut. Gu Feiyan was also eighteen years old. She did not smile, but her heart was filled with hope. Above hope, only anxiety …
