Chapter 158 Delivering Himself to Their Doorstep



Li Baozhu's trip was definitely very fruitful.

They sold the snake medicine, bought cheap, high-quality salt, and even borrowed a doctor carefully trained by the King of Yue's mansion for free.

When leaving Crescent Moon New City, Li Baozhu was somewhat reluctant to leave.

She waved frantically at the slender figure, "Sister, I'm leaving!"

Xie Yuan stood on the city wall and waved to Li Baozhu, "Have a safe journey!"

Xie Yuan watched the lively little girl ride away on her horse, and only then did he suppress his smile.

She did indeed treat the Liao and Li people as her own, but she wasn't a saint.

She had her own reasons for helping Li Bu.

Putting aside everything else, Xie Yuan had other reasons for lending the doctors to Li Baozhu alone—

Learn from personal experience.

That's right, she wanted these doctors to witness up close the process of how to break the addiction to the "miracle plaster"!

Clinical experience is really important.

Xie Yuan does indeed know countless pieces of hot and cold knowledge, but most of it is theory.

In reality, there are various specific situations, and the actual effect is influenced by these factors.

Although Helian Jue was following the trail of the fairy flower, searching and burning along the way, and taking down those mountain strongholds as well.

However, once the fairy flower appears, it is difficult to eradicate it completely in one go.

People will take risks for their own benefit.

There might be some of those miracle creams and miracle flowers that slipped through the net.

Xie Yuan must make ample preparations so that if he discovers people addicted to drugs in the future, he will have detailed clinical experience to treat them!

In a sense, Libu was Xie Yuan's "experimental field".

Whether it was her envisioned reform of local administration or the treatment of those patients, Xie Yuan wanted to try it out in Li tribe.

Oh, right, and Yongzhou too!

"Hmm, I wonder how Ah Yuan is doing in Yongzhou."

Xie Yuan's thoughts were wandering, and somehow, he started thinking about Princess Xu.

The Fourth Prince and his entourage had been gone for some time, during which time they received a letter from Princess Xu.

The letter said they had arrived in Yongzhou. The governor of Yongzhou was more reliable than Cui Boyong. After receiving the news of the Prince of Yong's enfeoffment, he began to build the prince's palace.

The Prince of Yong's Mansion is located within Yongzhou City. Its location is not the best, but it is not too bad either.

The regulations of the Prince's Mansion were all in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, without the slightest overstepping of them.

This also shows the attitude of the Prefect of Yongzhou: he will maintain a superficial respect for the Prince of Yong, a vassal king.

They won't deliberately make things difficult, but they also won't fawn over anyone.

Princess Xu said that the Prince Yong's residence was quite good, and she and the Fourth Prince were both satisfied.

The officials and their families in Yongzhou were also quite kind to her.

Upon her arrival, the local officials and their families, led by the governor's wife, held a special banquet to welcome her.

Regardless of what these people were thinking, at least on the surface, they did not lack manners.

This is a pretty good start, and Princess Xu is quite satisfied.

Fourth Prince: ...If the Princess is satisfied, then I am satisfied.

The couple has temporarily established themselves in Yongzhou; their future development will depend on the specific circumstances.

Xie Yuan replied, first congratulating them on their safe arrival, and then describing the social interactions among officials and their families in Lingnan.

Xie Yuan also shared his experience on how to do business and how to manage the finances of the Prince's Mansion.

Most importantly, Xie Yuan mentioned the Fairy Flower and the Fairy Cream.

She feared that if the Wuyuan tribe scattered too many seeds of the fairy flower, it might spread to Yongzhou.

To help Princess Xu accurately identify the plant, Xie Yuan specially painted several pictures, depicting the fairy flower, its fruit, and the fairy ointment made from the fruit.

...The letter has been sent out for some time now, and judging by the days, Princess Xu should have received it by now.

"If A-Yuan replies and then sends it over, it will probably take ten days to half a month."

Xie Yuan leaned against the city wall, gazing in the direction of Yongzhou, and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, her ears twitched, as if she heard a familiar sound.

She looked up, her eyes searching the air.

Finally, she saw a small figure flying towards her—a carrier pigeon!

This was a gift she gave to Princess Xu.

The two had agreed that they would use carrier pigeons in case of an emergency.

If it is just ordinary correspondence, it is still delivered by servants.

For example, in the previous letter, Xie Yuan sent a servant from the Prince's mansion on horseback.

how--

Has Princess Xu encountered an emergency?

Xie Yuan picked up a silver whistle and blew it at the carrier pigeon.

Beep! Beep!

A clear whistle calls the carrier pigeons.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the pigeons flapped their wings and flew towards Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan reached out and caught the carrier pigeon, gently stroking its head and wings, then took a small bamboo tube from its claw.

"Go feed it some rice and water." (Reading in the dark)

Xie Yuan then handed the carrier pigeon to Zheng Yurong, asking her to take good care of it.

"yes!"

Zheng Yurong agreed and left with the carrier pigeon in her arms.

Xie Yuan opened the bamboo tube and took out a rolled-up piece of paper.

Unfold it, and a few lines of text come into view.

Xie Yuan's expression turned somewhat serious. "Yongzhou actually has the Immortal Ointment too!"

Moreover, judging from the scale mentioned by Princess Xu, it doesn't seem to be a few escaped fish from the Wuyuan tribe. On the contrary, it's a large-scale planting and processing operation!

Could it be that there is also a Queen of Wuyuan in Yongzhou, secretly carrying out such harmful things on a large scale?

Many guesses popped into Xie Yuan's mind.

Regardless of the reason, the governor of Yongzhou bears an unshirkable responsibility for the widespread appearance of so much "miracle ointment" in Yongzhou.

Even worse, he got involved in it.

Wait a minute, Xie Yuan suddenly remembered that in the letter Helian Jue wrote to her, he mentioned that when he wiped out the Wuyuan tribe, the queen had mentioned that she and Cui Boyong were partners.

The seeds of her fairy flower were given to her by Cui Boyong.

Cui Boyong is the Prefect of Yuezhou. Did he collude with the Prefect of Yongzhou?

Xie Yuan couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly went down the city wall and went straight back to the palace.

Upon arriving at his study, Xie Yuan began writing a letter.

She wrote down the situation in Yongzhou, as well as her own speculations.

After the ink dried, Xie Yuan folded the letter and put it into the envelope, then sealed it with sealing wax!

"Xuanjia, deliver this letter to the Prince as soon as possible!"

Xie Yuan summoned the bodyguard who was always by his side, handed him the letter, and gave him instructions in a deep voice.

"yes!"

Without hesitation, Xuanjia took the letter, carefully placed it inside his clothes, and then vanished in a flash.

A few days later, Xuanjia finally found Helian Jue in another deep mountain.

"Your Highness, the letter from Her Majesty is very urgent!"

"Oh. Give it to me."

Helian Jue raised an eyebrow; his own A Yuan was the most composed.

She wouldn't be in such a hurry unless something urgent had happened.

Has something happened in Yuezhou?

That shouldn't be the case. He left so many men behind, and with A Yuan in charge, Yuezhou shouldn't be in any trouble.

He took the letter, read it quickly, and laughed: "I was just looking for an excuse, and here you are, delivered right to my door!"
