Intelligent and Protective Young Lady VS Gentle and Reserved Young Master.
Miss Hua Fushu, the eldest daughter of the Hua family, has a fiancé who is the legitimate son of the Grand General&...
Mu Qing said in distress, "But where can I find the Purple Fire Ganoderma?"
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Since I wrote this prescription, I naturally know where to find the Purple Fire Ganoderma Lucidum. However, we need to prepare it."
"Prepare?" Mu Qing was puzzled.
Hua Fushu gestured for Mu Qing to come closer. Mu Qing took a step forward and Hua Fushu leaned over to whisper in his ear. Mu Qing was slightly startled, "Qinghe Palace?"
Hua Fushu stood up straight and said, "As far as I know, Prince Qinghe has a Purple Fire Ganoderma lucidum in his hands."
Mu Qing naturally knew who this Prince Qinghe was. He was the late emperor's full brother, the current emperor's uncle, and deeply favored by both the Empress Dowager and the current emperor. Commanding a hundred thousand lions in the Northern Ridge, he held great popular support and was a virtuous king. However, the Qinghe Palace was heavily guarded, making it difficult to obtain the Purple Fire Ganoderma.
He was even more surprised by Hua Fushu's idea. "Miss Fushu, do you want to go to the Qinghe Palace to steal the Purple Fire Ganoderma?"
Hua Fushu's face darkened, and she looked at Mu Qing unhappily and said, "Steal? Mu Qing, can you speak? I'm borrowing the Purple Fire Ganoderma, not stealing it! I'm an upright and chivalrous woman, so how could I resort to such a despicable means as stealing? However, these are extraordinary times, so I have to resort to extraordinary means to borrow the Ganoderma."
Guan Yu said, "Miss Fushu is the only heir to Madam Miao's medical skills. She must be right. Mu Qing, you should go with Miss Fushu."
To save his master, Mu Qing had no choice but to agree to let Hua Fushu borrow the Purple Fire Ganoderma Lucidum from the Qinghe Palace. As the two of them prepared to go downstairs, Sanqiao suddenly said, "Miss, it's best to be careful in everything."
Hua Fushu nodded, and left Sifang Pavilion with Mu Qing and headed north of the city, where the Qinghe Palace was located.
When the two of them arrived near the Qinghe Palace, Mu Qing kidnapped a maid from the Qinghe Palace. Hua Fushu changed into the maid's clothes, put on a human skin mask, changed his face, and carried a bamboo basket. He entered the palace when the old woman guarding the back door went out for tea. After the old woman had tea, she saw Hua Fushu's back from a distance and thought she was a maid from some courtyard who had come back from shopping for her master.
The Qinghe Palace is very vast, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers, and the style of Jiangnan architecture is everywhere. The walls, corridors, exotic flowers and plants are beautiful.
Hua Fushu went to the east of the palace, where there was a warehouse. Rare items like the Purple Fire Ganoderma should naturally be placed in the warehouse.
On the way, he met one or two maids who asked questions. Hua Fushu dealt with them flexibly and finally approached the warehouse, but saw a guard at the door. Hua Fushu used a trick to lure the guard away, took the opportunity to knock him out, took out the prepared tools, easily opened the lock, and entered the warehouse.
When Hua Fushu came out, a group of people rushed over and blocked her. The leader was a young man in his twenties, wearing guard clothes.
Hua Fushu panicked a little as a group of servants had already rushed up to him. Hua Fushu knew a little bit about boxing and kicking, but the servants were not very good at kicking and kicking, so he knocked down several of them with just three punches and two kicks.
Hua Fushu did not want to fight for long and was about to climb over the wall to leave when the young guard attacked him. His kung fu was quite good and he could not get away from him. Just as the guard was about to chop down with his palm, several darts flew from nowhere. The guard turned around to avoid them, but a figure pulled Hua Fushu onto the top of the wall and disappeared in an instant.
This person was none other than Mu Qing. He asked, "Miss Fushu, have you got the Purple Fire Ganoderma?"
Hua Fushudao said she had obtained it, and then she took out a Ganoderma lucidum from her arms. The Ganoderma lucidum was purple-brown in color, and the back was shining like fire. That was why it was called Purple Fire Ganoderma lucidum.
The people from the Qinghe Palace had chased out. Hua Fushu put the Ganoderma lucidum back into her arms, and Mu Qing pulled her and ran away quickly.
Prince Qinghe's men pursued them relentlessly, and Hua Fushu and the other man ran very fast.
There were too many people chasing after them from the Qinghe Palace. Mu Qing was afraid that the two of them could not escape the pursuit of the Qinghe Palace, and was also afraid of delaying the best opportunity to rescue Qin Youran. So he went to lure away the people from the Qinghe Palace without discussing it with Hua Fushu.
Hua Fushu had no time to stop him, and understood Mu Qing's painstaking efforts, so he glanced at Mu Qing indifferently and walked in another direction.
However, the people from Qinghe Palace still discovered Hua Fushu, and they split into two groups to chase him, one group to chase Hua Fushu, and the other group to chase Mu Qing.
Hua Fushu went to the crowded street, tore off the human skin mask, and walked among the pedestrians, trying to avoid being hunted by the Qinghe Palace.
However, the people in Qinghe Palace still recognized her figure. A middle-aged, slightly fat uncle pointed at Hua Fushu in the crowd and said, "Over there, chase her!"
Hua Fushu panicked and involuntarily quickened her pace to escape, turning into another street. She fled and hid, trying to go towards Sifang Pavilion, but the people from Qinghe Palace were chasing her relentlessly, so she had no chance to return to Sifang Pavilion. She fled without knowing the direction and now she didn't know where she was.
Seeing that the soldiers from the Qinghe Palace were about to catch up, Hua Fushu turned and leaped into a courtyard, hiding in a room. This was a woman's boudoir, elegant and quiet. The fairy in front of the dressing table was graceful and beautiful. Thinking it was a maid, he turned around to look, but was startled.
"Miss Fushu?" Lu Tianyun was stunned.
"Beautiful lady?" Hua Fushu was also stunned and almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.
This house is the Lu family's villa. At this time, people from the Qinghe Palace in front of the house surrounded it. When they found the people here, they disappeared. The thieves must be hiding in this house.
The overweight middle-aged man was the cousin of the steward of the Qinghe Palace, named Liu Chun. He revealed his identity and wanted to enter the house to search for people, but was stopped by Uncle Lu, the manager of the house.
Uncle Lu refused to give in, and Liu Chun pressed him. Uncle Lu could no longer tolerate this and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Qinghe is virtuous and respected by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. So what? Without any evidence, you accuse my Lu family of harboring thieves. If you can produce evidence, I will allow you to search. If you don't, please take your people and get out! What kind of world is this? How can the dignified Prince of Qinghe bully others at will?"
Liu Chun opened his voice and cursed: "You bold lowly person, how dare you stop the palace from handling the case and insult the prince!"
Uncle Lu approached Liu Chun and spat in his face. "My master is the Minister of the Chancellery, my eldest daughter is the Lady of the Central Palace, and my eldest wife is the Lady of Huaping County. Even His Majesty calls my master uncle. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you shout at my doorstep!"
Lu family?
Liu Chun was stunned. In the territory of the Song Dynasty, the most prominent family was none other than the Lu family in Kyoto!
The Empress Dowager is from the Lu family, the Lady of the Central Palace is from the Lu family, the Minister of the Chancellery who is the second rank but the head of all officials is also from the Lu family, Princess Pingting who married far away in Tibet is also from the Lu family, and even His Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess have Lu family blood.
But he had never been taken seriously by the Prince of Qinghe. If he failed to catch the thief, he might even be punished by the Prince of Qinghe. If he did catch the thief, the Prince of Qinghe would definitely take him seriously. After all, the Prince of Qinghe was Your Majesty's uncle. Could Your Majesty still offend the Prince of Qinghe's Mansion for the Lu family?
Liu Chun weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally made a decision, directing people to search the house.
Uncle Lu and several servants were pushed away and in a panic, but a woman slowly walked over. She was wearing a blue and white dress and a veil, and her face was dimly visible through the white gauze.
