Chapter 220 My Foot Slipped
Shao Siyan: "Yes, I will use your poisonous blood as a guide for the 49 days of medicinal bathing, but only half a bowl is needed each time. On the 49th day, before the medicinal bath and acupuncture, let the young master take Luoxia grass in advance."
Oh, how could she forget that Luoxia grass can not only detoxify, but also bring the dead back to life.
There are only three plants in total in the Kingdom of Li. The one in Yishe has been used up by Qi Junqi, so only the one belonging to the Emperor of Li and the former Queen is left.
The plant of the late queen has long disappeared, and only Murong Heli knows its whereabouts. Now Emperor Li is probably also under the control of Murong Heli.
So both Luoxia grasses are in Murong Heli's hands...
After thinking the key point clearly, Qi Yue steadied his body and left Lin Xu's arms.
"Axu, where is the envoy's procession from the Kingdom of Li now?"
Lin Xu: "We just entered Dayi territory yesterday. It will take at least seven days to reach Kyoto."
Qi Yue: "Luoxia grass is the national treasure of Li State. Murong Heli will not bring it to Dayi. Since he is the crown prince, the Emperor of Li must have been under house arrest or controlled."
"The Luoxia grass is either hidden in the hands of Concubine Yue or in the hands of his grandfather, Yue Zhenwei. If it's not in either place..."
"Then it can only be the Royal Tomb of the Kingdom of Li - the tomb of the Queen of Yue."
Lin Xu: "Then I will set off for Li Kingdom immediately!"
Qi Yue frowned and thought for a while: "Ah Xu, you go first. If the prediction is wrong and Luoxia grass is not found in the three places, then wait for me to get the whereabouts of Luoxia grass from Murong Heli, and then I will send a pigeon to you."
"Princess, before I leave, I will arrange for a subordinate to protect you. If you need to pass on a message, you can ask Dark Night to deliver it faster."
Lin Xu took out the Dark Lord's Token from his body and put it in her hand, which was the token engraved with the word "Lin".
"If that rookie Murong Heli has any ill intentions, with this token, the Dark Night Forces of Kyoto City are at the princess' disposal."
"Okay, go ahead and don't worry, nothing will go wrong." Qi Yue accepted the token and asked, "Ayan, besides this, are there any other herbs needed for the medicinal bath that we need to find?"
Shao Siyan: "No, some of the herbs used in the medicinal bath are relatively precious, but the Imperial Hospital basically has them all."
Qi Yue: "That's good."
The other side.
Since entering Dayi territory, the people of Dark Night suddenly disappeared.
Murong Heli thought that his little thoughts had been seen through, and was afraid that Lin Xu would make things difficult for him in front of Qi Yue.
So he began to get anxious and urged the ceremonial procession to hurry up.
It was originally going to take at least seven days to reach Kyoto City, but it was forced to be shortened to five days.
It can be said that the journey was smooth, but it was still difficult to travel day and night.
So when they arrived at Kyoto City, almost everyone in the guard of honor was so tired that their eyes were dull and their heads were dizzy.
Even Yue Xing looked quite depressed, and Murong Heli's face was gloomy.
Although he was sitting in a carriage and had someone to serve him so he wouldn't get tired, he still didn't get a good rest due to the bumpy ride.
But when he thought that he would be able to see the person he had been thinking about in a moment, Murong Heli's mood improved a lot, and a lot of the clouds on his face disappeared.
But who would have thought that when he entered Kyoto City and arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace, he would be greeted by an old man!
Duke of Zhenguo: "I am the Duke of Zhenguo of Dayi, and I respectfully welcome Prince Murong to Dayi. Our Majesty has been waiting for the prince in Chaode Hall for a long time."
"Prince Murong, please."
Murong Heli sneered: "I heard that when Princess Xizhen went on a diplomatic mission to Dayi, the one who came to the palace gate to greet her was Princess Yiyang of Dayi."
"Why, Dayi looks down on my Li Kingdom?"
The Duke of Zhenguo's face changed, and he explained: "Prince Murong misunderstood. Her Royal Highness the Princess has been ill these past two days. She can't come to greet us while she's sick..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by him anxiously.
"What's wrong with the princess... ahem... Princess Yiyang had shown me some favor before when I was in Dayi."
"Since my former benefactor is ill, I should go and visit him with gifts."
Seeing that he wanted to turn around and leave the palace, the envoy from the State of Li beside him was extremely panicked, but did not dare to stop him.
Fortunately, the Duke of Zhenguo stopped them and said, "Prince Murong, you should follow the Duke of Zhenguo into the palace to meet His Majesty first. If you leave directly, not only will the Kingdom of Li and Dayi lose face, but the Princess will also be unhappy if she knows about it."
The Li Kingdom envoy also whispered a reminder at the right time: "Your Highness, if you leave now and don't give face to Emperor Xuanzhi, how can you marry Princess Yi Yang? She will definitely not marry a man who doesn't respect her royal brother."
Hearing this, Murong Heli's heart tightened and he turned back immediately.
"What the Duke of Zhenguo said makes sense. It's me who is confused."
Inside the princess's mansion.
While He Xiang was reapplying makeup to Qi Yue, she asked in confusion, "Princess, you were very friendly to Master Murong when he was a middle-ranking official. Now he has become the Crown Prince of Li, and Dayi is here. We also need to get the Luoxia grass from him to save people."
"Why did you pretend to be sick and not go to meet him? If you were to meet Prince Murong, he would definitely be very happy and might even offer the Luoxia grass to him directly."
Qi Yue took off the pearl hairpin on her head and selected a jade hairpin with a crabapple pattern carved on it from the brocade box.
He held it up to her and said calmly, "Don't wear any of them. Just wear this one."
"He had nothing before, so we had to put all the good things in front of him. Now that he has status, position and power, the people and feelings that he once had and longed for can no longer be given away easily."
"Xiao Xiangxiang, you have to remember that the imperial family is the most ruthless. Murong Heli is going to be the emperor in the future. What woman can't he get?"
"Your princess is not his canary. If he wants something, he can only lie at my feet and beg. If the puppy is impatient, I will give him some sweet treats. If you feed him too much, he will bite his master and fight back."
Seeing her nodding as if she understood, Qi Yue chuckled and tapped her head.
He asked back, "If you go to Qiu Fang Zhai to buy your favorite lotus leaf pastry, but you can't get it every time, and then you get it several times in a row until you are about to give up and suddenly you get it, wouldn't that be a wonderful feeling?"
He Xiang suddenly realized and praised with starry eyes: "I understand now, the princess is really amazing!"
Half an incense stick later, He Xiang took out the crescent-white clothes with a medicinal scent that she had prepared in advance and asked Qi Yue to change into them.
As soon as she changed and lay down on the chaise longue, Leng Yue came into the room and said, "Princess, Crown Prince Murong wants to see you."
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, it came quite quickly.
She twirled her handkerchief lightly and pretended to cough twice, then said slowly, "...Please invite the person in."
Murong Heli stood at the door, so close to it that he almost wanted to put his ear against the door.
Hearing a faint cough from inside, his brows furrowed even more.
The next second, Leng Yue suddenly opened the door.
Murong Heli slipped, followed by a "bang".
