Chapter 417: Puzzled
"Okay, okay, let's talk it over nicely." Gu Qing's eyes flickered over the plum blossom darts, and he was so scared that he stuttered.
Chen Xing glared: "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Gu Qing broke out in a cold sweat, "A friend gave it to me. I'm just keeping it for him. I don't know what's inside it."
"Are you talking about the young man who gave you the treasure bag and the formation diagram?" Chu Liuzheng shook the small bottle towards him with a harmless smile.
Gu Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and he once again wondered if this girl was evil. How could she guess so accurately?
He rolled his eyes around and looked at everyone present, but found that there was no one he could afford to offend.
The fat old man's shoulders slumped, he sighed deeply, and finally admitted it.
He recounted the entire story in full, adding at the end, "Alas! It's not easy for an old man to make a living at this age. I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I just want to earn a living."
Everyone looked at his plump figure and thought that what he said was really shameless.
Xiao Jingfan ordered people to take Gu Qing away and send someone to watch him to prevent him from running away.
Feng Jing found a cool place and opened the bottle.
Suddenly, a fragrance like orchid and lotus wafted out, which lifted people's spirits and even relieved a lot of fatigue.
"It's Tianlian fruit powder." Feng Jing confirmed it instantly and immediately sealed the bottle. "The taste is exactly the same as described in the ancient books."
Hearing this, everyone was delighted.
Especially Xiao Jingfan, he unconsciously held Chu Liuzheng's hand tightly, and his palm trembled slightly.
Thanks to Tianlian Guo, King Rui can be saved.
Chu Liuzheng glanced at the two people holding hands, pursed his lips, and felt a little complicated.
[The tyrant is actually afraid, he is indeed a living person.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Could he be dead?
Even the most excited mood was drowned out by this thought. Xiao Jingfan looked at Feng Jing. Without him saying anything, Feng Jing took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, don't worry. With Tianlian Guo here, I guarantee that Prince Rui will survive."
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry with the bottle.
Chen Xing came close to Chu Liuzheng and asked, "Sister, where is the little grandson?"
If she hadn't asked Chu Liuzheng, she would have almost forgotten that she had another piece of information to reveal.
"In Zizhu City." Chu Liuzheng looked at everyone. "Zheng Qianqian said that there's a Wang Family Manor ten miles outside the east gate of Zizhu City. The owner is a remnant of the Yong Dynasty. The young emperor's grandson is being raised on the manor and is publicly known as Master Wang's youngest son."
Chen Xing blinked: "Sister, Zheng Qianqian even told you this?"
"Yeah." Chu Liuzheng said calmly, "Maybe I look more like someone who wants to talk to me."
"Second Junior Brother, I have no choice. Consider this as compensation for my mental damage. Thank you very much!"
Xiao Jingfan laughed.
If Zheng Qianqian knew that this woman had blamed so many things on him, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of the ground.
Chu Liuzheng suddenly remembered that she could actually use Zheng Qianqian to get some information out.
As the saying goes, "Wildfires cannot be extinguished; spring breezes bring new life. Although Yin Lanci is dead, the remnants of the Yong Dynasty still exist. How about I provide the tyrant with some more intelligence and wipe out the several major forces that the remnants of the Yong Dynasty have secretly managed?"
"Second Junior Brother, don't worry. Since you've shouldered so many responsibilities for me, every Qingming Festival... er, no, when I remember, I'll definitely burn paper for you!"
She opened the system, looked up the relevant gossip, and hastily wrote out a speech in her mind. After preparing herself mentally, she turned her head to look at the emperor, but unexpectedly, she met the emperor's focused and encouraging eyes.
Wait! Encouragement?
Chu Liuzheng suspected that he was seeing things.
Xiao Jingfan softened his voice as if he was afraid of scaring her, "What do you want to say?"
Chu Liuzheng shuddered and was successfully frightened.
[Frog Fun! Is the tyrant possessed by something dirty?]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He instantly regained his expressionless face and gritted his teeth, wanting to bite someone.
【Oh, it's normal now.】
Chu Liuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Everyone stretched their necks and pricked up their ears. What were they whispering about? They were really curious!
Xiao Jingfan coughed lightly and glanced at everyone. His meaning was: Go do what you need to do, don't just stand there.
Everyone: “…”
Xiao Jingfan thought about it and decided that it would be better to discuss such an important matter back in the tent. So, he ignored the people who were dawdling and didn't want to leave, wanting to stay and watch the fun, and pulled Chu Liuzheng back to the main tent.
Looking at the backs of the two people walking away hand in hand, Chen Xing sighed: "Oh!" There's no fun to watch.
Lu Fei sighed, "Oh!" The matter has not been reported yet.
Huang Qian also sighed: "Oh!" There was no hope for his niece in the palace.
Xiao Dachen sighed: "Oh!" He was not the first to find the information.
The soldiers sighed in their hearts: "Alas! Why hasn't the general left yet?"
*
When Chu Liuzheng returned to his resting tent, he was still a little bit incredulous.
[I just said that, and the tyrant believed it without asking any questions. Is he still a suspicious and irritable tyrant?]
She sat down on the edge of the bed, propped her chin on her hands, and stared at the toes of her shoes.
The tyrant said he would reward the meritorious service after returning to the capital. Doctor Feng used my medicine to save Prince Rui's life, and it was I who provided the intelligence that led to the discovery of the Tianlian Fruit. I definitely deserve the credit for saving Prince Rui. I also saved Lord Jiang and Lord Zhang, so that counts as a credit as well. And then there's Zheng Qianqian and Yin Lanci...
She mentally calculated her achievements, and suddenly realized that adding up her merits, both large and small, was enough to get her, a mere maid, to leave the palace. If this had happened two months ago, she would have been so excited that she would have rolled over on the bed, howling. But now...
She raised her right hand in front of her eyes.
Her ten fingers were slender and flawless. No matter whether it was a scrape, a cut or a scratch, under Dr. Feng's skillful hands, not even a scar could be found.
The fingers curled gently, and the palm seemed to still retain the warm and cool touch, as if holding a piece of jade that was not so smooth.
That's the emperor. Now that she's favored by the emperor, can she really leave the palace?
[Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! This is so annoying!!!]
Chu Liuzheng fell onto the bed, pulled the quilt over his head, fluttered a few times, and kicked his legs outside the quilt.
[Damn it! What on earth does the tyrant see in me?!]
I can’t figure it out, the solution, the solution…
Ten days later, after Feng Jing and Jiang Yao's all-night efforts, they finally succeeded in forcing the poisonous insect out of King Rui's body. With careful nursing, King Rui's body would gradually recover. Thanks to the Tianlian Fruit's medicinal properties, once fully recovered, King Rui's health, while still not as good as an average person's, would no longer be so weak and afraid of the cold that he couldn't even leave the house in winter.
Xiao Jingfan was very pleased with this and rewarded Feng Jing greatly. He even had the sudden idea of arranging a marriage for Feng Jing.
Feng Jing was very happy, but he was worried that Doctor Qin would not be happy. After some hesitation, he gave up and planned to ask the emperor for permission to marry after obtaining Doctor Qin's consent.
