Mingya grass loves fertile places, and she tries her best to search around dead animals to see if there are any traces of it.

That night, all was quiet.

Even the insects on Mount Ling have stopped chirping, as if they know that the night is extremely dangerous.

"Stop looking, let's eat something."

Zhan Ming was unusually talkative at this moment and knew how to take care of people. As if by magic, he produced two sesame cakes.

"Hey, hurry up and eat! I can't stand seeing beautiful women go hungry!"

Song Tangxue had been highly focused the whole way, and she was really exhausted and her eyes were strained. Now she was ready to take a break, so she had the urge to make a joke.

"No wonder that lady couldn't forget you last time; it's a pity you broke her heart later."

As she spoke, she took one of the sesame seed cakes and began to devour it.

Zhan Ming could tell she was teasing him, but he had no intention of responding at the moment, and instead spoke seriously.

"I'll be leaving soon to take care of other tasks. You must take care of yourself."

Song Tangxue found it even stranger. Where did he come from?

Zhan Ming's identity was no coincidence in appearing with him.

As if he had seen through Song Tangxue's thoughts, he stood up and said.

"Don't overthink it, I'm just about to go look for someone in the next mountain range."

He seemed to be slowly getting to know Song Tangxue, and Song Tangxue realized this as well, subconsciously frowning.

But he quickly returned to normal, nodded, and said like a friend.

"Okay, have a safe trip."

And just like that, Zhan Ming disappeared into the night.

After finishing the sesame seed cake, Song Tangxue prepared to continue her search, but then she noticed that there were several wild fruits placed next to her.

"This man is quite efficient..."

Zhan Ming was completely unaware of what he was doing, which shows that his skills were extremely profound and his martial arts were not to be underestimated.

After thinking about all this, she quickly put her mind at ease. At this moment, she couldn't afford to think about so much; finding the item was the most important thing!

Finally, perhaps it was a case of heaven rewarding those who persevere, and even the heavens were moved by her earnestness.

Song Tangxue found Mingya grass next to a rabbit carcass!

She was overjoyed!

"Great, I've finally found you!"

Song Tangxue exclaimed in surprise and quickly and carefully removed the Mingya Grass.

They followed the marks back to where they had been, and the emperor had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The medicine I gave him contained some sedative ingredients, so he slept very soundly.

However, Song Tangxue definitely had to wake the Emperor: "Please trouble you to wake him, Eunuch. We are about to set off now, and everything is ready."

"The Emperor is truly pitiful; I haven't seen him in so long, and he's sleeping so soundly..."

The eunuch was somewhat disapproving, but could only pat the emperor gently. The emperor quickly spoke up.

"Your Majesty! The Empress is saved! Let's hurry back to the palace!"

Perhaps it was these words that struck a chord with the emperor, for he suddenly opened his eyes.

Just as I was about to get up, I aggravated my wound, causing me to gasp in pain, but I regained my senses.

"My lady, you are my benefactor!"

The Emperor spoke again, but Song Tangxue was not excited by it. Instead, she spoke calmly.

"Go back to the palace."

The return to the city was exceptionally smooth, and they quickly returned to the palace, arriving around noon.

But no one can afford to rest, and now the Empress can't wait any longer.

Song Tangxue stayed in a small hall next to the Empress's palace, where she locked herself up.

"Your Majesty, you are still injured, you cannot be in such a hurry. This servant believes that Miss Song can definitely save Her Majesty!"

The emperor was extremely anxious outside, and the eunuch beside him quickly tried to comfort him.

He's been quite inflamed these past few days, and even two pimples have appeared on his face.

The emperor did not reply, but instead irritably put down his teacup with a bang.

Song Tangxue did not want to be disturbed by anyone while researching the antidote.

The antidote was developed with exceptionally smooth progress this time, and it was quickly produced.

"Come with me!"

She finally opened the door to the main hall and anxiously spoke to the Emperor. Then, ignoring him, she turned and walked towards the Empress's palace.

The empress was so beautiful that even when she lay there, seemingly lifeless, she was still captivating.

"My beloved concubine, we will be alright, along with the child in your womb..."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly followed, much to the astonishment of the eunuch beside him.

He didn't care about anything else. After entering, he quickly grasped the Empress's hand and said affectionately.

Song Tangxue did not speak, but personally fed the medicine to the Empress.

The Emperor was also anxious. Seeing that the medicine had been successfully swallowed, he quickly asked.

"When will the Empress wake up? And how long will it take for her to recover?"

Even the most distinguished person, what good is it? Now that they are seriously ill, there's nothing anyone can do but watch helplessly.

After Song Tangxue sat down to the side, she spoke quietly.

"He will wake up within a day, but if it takes longer than a day, it will be dangerous."

That's why I'm staying here to see when I'll wake up.

Upon hearing this answer, the emperor's heart clenched.

He knew he could only wait, but he also wanted to put his mind at ease, so he immediately looked at the eunuch beside him and said.

"Quickly arrange for everyone in Baohua Palace and Shang'en Temple to pray for the Empress!"

The eunuch dared not delay in the slightest. Upon hearing this, he nodded hurriedly, turned around, and left, even forgetting his farewell ceremony.

This shows how afraid he was of something happening to the Empress, and how well he knew that the Emperor should pay more attention to the Empress.

When Song Tangxue saw this, she wanted to stop him, saying that there was a very high chance that he would wake up.

But the eunuch ran too fast, so she decided to let it go and instead looked at the emperor beside her.

"No need to worry, I am optimistic."

The emperor frowned, and began to show deep affection.

“But I am afraid even of the slightest danger, so I must do more for the Empress.”

Song Tangxue didn't say anything more and just waited like that.

However, he had already formed a judgment in his heart, feeling that this emperor was a wise ruler.

"Your Majesty, if the Empress truly awakens, may I ask you for a promise?"

She suddenly seemed to remember something, which broke the silence.

Without hesitation, the Emperor nodded: "Of course, I will even grant you the fiefdom I mentioned before, making you an incomparably noble princess!"

These things are all external possessions, and Song Tangxue never cared about them, even though some people fought tooth and nail for them and spent their lives in deceit and treachery.

"You're not in the mood right now, so let's talk about it after Her Majesty wakes up."
