Chapter 329 Polygonum multiflorum
The Bai family's grandparents and grandchildren obviously heard it as well.
The two men saw the traces of corpses not far away and looked panicked.
Zhu Mingqing said directly, "Follow this path and you'll be able to return directly to the village. When you get back, don't say anything. Just say you're lost. Do you understand?"
Village Chief Bai nodded vigorously: "Sir, what about you?"
Zhu Mingqing immediately urged: "Hurry up, I have my own way to escape!"
Village Chief Bai opened his mouth, wanting to ask if he would come again, but the footsteps in the distance were getting closer.
In a hurry, he grabbed his granddaughter's wrist and ran towards the path.
Zhu Mingqing also quickly cleaned up the scene, messed up the footprints, threw the rope into the space, washed away the unknown liquid directly with water, and then returned along the original route.
When Min Xing came to the clearing again, he saw only a shadow flash by and shouted an order: "Pass the order, block all exits! Everyone else, chase them!"
At the checkpoint leading to the grassland in the valley, the two guards also received orders.
But at this time, Zhu Mingqing had already reached the edge of the grassland.
The pursuers behind are not to be feared. The important thing is that the eldest prince has led his men to the door of Zhu Mingqing's tent.
But it would take her another quarter of an hour to return.
"Doctor Ming!"
The eldest prince shouted several times outside the tent, but there was no response from inside.
He frowned and wanted to lift the curtain, but Luo Xiao suddenly walked out from inside.
"Greetings, Great Prince!" Luo Xiao whispered. "Master has been unwell and has already rested. If the Great Prince has anything important to say, please let me know and I will relay it to Master tomorrow morning."
To the outside world, Luo Xiao is Zhu Mingqing's apprentice. The eldest prince wants to rely on Doctor Ming to treat his mother, so naturally he doesn't want to offend the other party.
But this time, it was his father Khan who suddenly ordered that he must see the real person.
"Thieves have infiltrated the royal court, and an important token has been lost. My father, the Khan, has ordered that every shrine be searched." The eldest prince said sternly, "Excuse me, please wake up Doctor Ming!"
Luo Xiao's breath hitched, and he continued, "Master has been working day and night for the Madam's illness, and hasn't been able to properly recuperate for many days. I hope you can be flexible and come back tomorrow morning."
The eldest prince frowned, and a group of people came from a distance.
The third prince, Hu Yange, strode over and stared at Luo Xiao. "Young Master Ming is making excuses. Could it be that Doctor Ming isn't in here? Or is Doctor Ming the thief tonight?!"
"Nonsense!" Luo Xiao glared at him. "The Third Prince has made baseless accusations. Is this how the royal court treats guests?"
The Third Prince laughed and said, "Don't be angry, Young Master Ming. Whether it's true or not, just let us go in and take a look!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked people to go in and search.
Luo Xiao stood still at the door and said directly, "The eldest prince came here first, so if anyone needs to search, it should be the eldest prince. The third prince is probably meddling in other people's business!"
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The crackling flames suddenly rose higher, and the guards dared not say anything more.
The eldest prince and the third prince were already at odds with each other, and now this young man from Southern Xia was a blatant provocation.
But you know what, it really works.
The eldest prince also stood in front of the third prince and said, "Third brother, I won't trouble you to do anything here. It's better not to delay father's order and search other places!"
Immediately afterwards, he followed Luo Xiao into the tent.
The curtain fell again, and the Third Prince only had time to see the pitch black inside, without discovering anything.
After Luo Xiao brought the person in, he could only tell the truth and whispered, "Prince, the master is not in the tent!"
The eldest prince's face turned serious: "Why don't you tell the truth now!"
My father Khan just suddenly issued an order, saying that thieves had sneaked into the royal court, but he did not specify what was lost. He only said that if there was any difference in the residence, it should be reported immediately.
Could it be that this Doctor Ming who came from Nanxia has a different identity?
The eldest prince began to doubt whether it was right or wrong to let the other party treat his mother's illness?
Luo Xiao followed his mother's instructions and whispered in the eldest prince's ear, "Two days ago, by the small river in the south, Master actually discovered a medicinal herb. It only officially matured today, so he couldn't wait to go pick it tonight."
Oh, where will I get the herbs to give them when the time comes?
The reason my mother came up with is a bit unreliable!
The eldest prince's face lit up with joy: "Really?"
Luo Xiao nodded hesitantly: "...Seriously!"
The eldest prince walked back and forth in the room twice, and at this time the third prince suddenly lifted the curtain: "Brother, I'm coming in!"
Before Luo Xiao could hide his true feelings, the Third Prince raised a night-shining pearl, lighting up the room, and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Doctor Ming isn't here?!"
The eldest prince's face turned dark!
Originally, I could have obtained the medicinal herbs by myself, but now, they are about to fall into the hands of my father Khan.
It’s all the fault of this troublesome third brother!
"Hurry up and inform my father Khan that the people of Nanxia are not in the tent!" The third prince came and went in a hurry. He felt that he had caught the eldest prince's handle, so he immediately took people to the king's tent.
The eldest prince was about to catch up, but at this moment, Zhu Mingqing appeared stealthily carrying a small backpack.
The eldest prince stopped and wondered if he had found something good.
For a moment, he was not in a hurry to explain and followed Doctor Ming into the tent again.
Zhu Mingqing and Luo Xiao looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly, indicating that everything was fine.
Zhu Mingqing brushed off the dirt on his body and said to the eldest prince, "The eldest lady is expected to recover, but she is still missing a most important herbal ingredient. I found it after searching around the royal court for many days. Please take a look, eldest prince!"
After saying that, he lifted the cloth cover on the backpack.
A large human-shaped lump lay inside, covered with lush green leaves. It was obviously dug out not long ago.
The eldest prince did not recognize this medicinal herb, but that did not stop him from seeing that it was very valuable.
Any medicinal material that can grow into a human form is a good luck charm, no matter what it is.
"This is Polygonum multiflorum, thirty years old, and weighs a full eight kilograms. It's a rare medicinal herb, perfect for nourishing blood and regulating menstruation, and very suitable for Madam who suffers from blood deficiency!"
The eldest prince smiled and said three good words in a row.
But soon, the smile on his face froze, obviously thinking of the third prince who had ruined his plan.
"Can this medicine be processed quickly?"
The mother must take it.
If it falls into the hands of my father Khan, it will definitely benefit the second wife and the third prince, mother and son!
Zhu Mingqing was obviously very familiar with this. When the third prince brought his men to surround the tent, Zhu Mingqing had already taken out the processed Polygonum multiflorum from the immortal palace and replaced it with the one he had just used.
Hu Yanmeng looked at the things in the basket in front of him, took a deep breath, and cast a sharp gaze on Zhu Mingqing.
"Doctor Ming, what a quick solution!"
But in just a quarter of an hour, all the Polygonum multiflorum was cut into pieces. Was it because they were afraid that he would take it for himself?
It has been a long time since anyone dared to contradict him openly!
Thinking of this, Hu Yanmeng became angry and was about to lose his temper when someone outside reported that the eldest lady had arrived.
