Chapter 86: Like a dead pig, I didn't wake up all night
Lu Wanning smiled and said, "He hasn't even finished taking the medicine I prepared for my husband. I don't know if he's still taking it. He absolutely can't stop taking this medicine, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted."
Seeing that Princess Qi's gaze had relaxed somewhat, Lu Wanning struck while the iron was hot, "Don't worry, mother. When I see my husband, I promise to wait for him to finish his work and come back with him."
She thought that if she said this, Princess Qi would agree, but Princess Qi was only hesitant for a moment and quickly shook her head, "It's too dangerous."
Although she was a woman of modesty, when she chatted with those ladies, she could also get a glimpse of something from their flattery.
In addition, since her husband always looked sad when he came home last time, she could guess something.
She advised Lu Wanning, "If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to your aunt?"
Seeing that there was no point in trying to convince her, and it was getting late, Song Yu might come to pick her up soon, Lu Wanning's eyes rolled, and she relented, "Then I'll prepare some medicine, and ask General Song to bring some to my husband for me?"
Princess Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's great. We won't get involved in those things of fighting and killing."
In order to prevent Lu Wanning from having any wild thoughts, Princess Qi sat with her for a long time, and only got up and left when it was getting dark.
As soon as the person left, Lu Wanning immediately winked at Hu Yan.
Hu Yan came over quietly, "Princess, are we still going?"
"Of course," Lu Wanning said, "I've already promised General Song."
If Song Yu was not on this trip, she might have hesitated.
If others were injured, they could find a doctor to see a doctor, but if Song Yu was injured, in order to avoid being exposed, he would probably have to endure it.
Lu Wanning naturally couldn't bear it.
Of course, she also doubted that Qi Muchao would not take the medicine properly when she was not around.
Hu Yan listened to her, and when Song Yu came to get the medicine, the master and servant packed up and quickly slipped out of Prince Qi's mansion with a small bag.
Lu Wanning had practiced horse riding for a while, and although she was still not very good at it, she could barely hold on to the reins and not fall off.
But judging by her speed, the journey was slowed down by at least half.
So she simply shared a horse with Hu Yan.
In this way, it only took three or four days to reach Yanzhou.
In Yanzhou, Qi Muchao was shirtless, with blood oozing out of the arrow wound on his shoulder.
Chang Qing was bandaging him, furious. "This newly appointed governor is incredibly bold. It seems His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have discovered these people's conspiracy."
Neither the Crown Prince nor Qi Muchao disclosed their identities during this trip, but acted in secret.
However, the newly appointed Yanzhou governor was too wary, and perhaps they had troops along the way in the capital, so Qi Muchao was soon targeted.
Today he went with Changqing to gather information, but they encountered an assassin before they arrived.
And all these people are here to take people's lives.
Qi Muchao's heart sank. If this happened, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably be in great danger.
No wonder the matter of the Yanzhou iron mine was kept secret so well. It turns out that now all the people in Yanzhou City are their own people.
If the blood letter written by the former Yanzhou governor at the risk of his life had not been delivered to the capital, this matter would probably have been covered up very well and no one would know about the filth involved.
When Changqing came, Lu Wanning rummaged through the medicine that she had brought for them, took out a purple pill and handed it to Qi Muchao, "The Crown Princess said this can replenish Qi and blood. If you're injured, take one."
Qi Muchao lowered his eyes and swallowed the pill. It was not bitter at all, and even had a faint sweetness.
The same was true for the pills he took every day. Ever since she knew he hated bitter taste, Lu Wanning added some things to the pills when preparing them without affecting the efficacy. As a result, although the pills still tasted a bit like medicinal herbs, they were not bitter at all.
He himself knew that this was a bit pretentious. After all, no matter how bitter the pill was, he could just swallow it mixed with tea. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
But I have to say, as he tasted this sweet pill, Qi Muchao's heart gradually calmed down.
He stood up and walked to the table, wrote a letter, put it in a box and handed it to Changqing, "Leave Yanzhou and go to Ruicheng. Give this letter to Lieutenant General Xu in Ruicheng. Be sure to hand it to him personally."
Chang Qing immediately said, "Yes."
Yanzhou and Ruicheng are not far apart. It is impossible for Ruicheng to be completely unaware of what is happening here.
The only possibility is that Yanzhou and Ruicheng have now become birds of a feather.
This is what Qi Muchao least wants to see.
This Lieutenant General Xu was a soldier under his father. Ruicheng was his hometown. After he was promoted, his father found a way to transfer him back to Ruicheng.
Qi Muchao had met him before and knew that he was an honest and upright man, and was loyal to his father, so he must be trustworthy.
In this situation, Qi Muchao didn't dare to delay. He had to find out whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dead or alive first.
He lowered his eyes for a moment, and seeing that Chang Qing hadn't moved, he raised his eyes and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Changqing whispered, "I'll wait for Changkong to come back before I go."
He really didn't feel comfortable leaving Qi Muchao here alone, and the prince was a dishonest person. If he went out before Changkong came back, if something happened, it would be useless even if he died to apologize.
Qi Muchao waved his hand, "No need, just go and come back quickly."
Changqing nodded, turned around silently and took out several paper bags containing medicinal powder from the small bag prepared by Lu Wanning.
Introduce them to Qi Muchao one by one.
"This pink one makes you faint as soon as you smell it. The Crown Prince's wife said it's very effective. When I first came here, I tried it on the governor. It really works. He stayed awake all night like a dead pig."
"This green one causes diarrhea, it's colorless and odorless... It doesn't seem to be of any use," Chang Qing scratched his head and picked out the ones he thought might have some effect on Qi Muchao. "This one, just smelling it can make people lose their minds for a short period of time, and this one..."
When he finished speaking, he saw Qi Muchao looking at him expressionlessly.
Chang Qing said embarrassedly, "Alright, then the prince will wait for Changkong here, I will go first."
As soon as he left, Qi Muchao's eyes fell on the medicine bags.
It is indeed Lu Wanning's style, everything is colorful.
The pills this person made last time were orange, and he showed them off in front of him for a long time.
It is said that she wants to try making a pink one next time. I don’t know if her pink pill was successful during the time he was out.
Thinking of this, Qi Muchao actually found it a little funny.
He put the powder away and waited for a while. Changkong came back, but his face looked very ugly.
