That night.
Jiang Li left the An Mansion only after Bai Mo was fully awake.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Jiang Li was startled.
"Your Highness?" Jiang Li handed the medicine box to Bai Zhi, took Gu Qingchen's hand, and sat down across from him. "Why are you here?"
Gu Qingchen said, "It's getting late, and I'm worried about Madam's safety, so I have to come and pick her up in person."
Jiang Li couldn't help laughing and jokingly said, "Your Highness can be a role model for men all over the world."
Gu Qingchen took it in response, "What do I care about the men in the world? I only want to be the hero in your heart."
Jiang Li shuddered and made a "stop" gesture, "Your Highness, if you say something like that again, I'm going to get goosebumps."
After saying that, Jiang Li stared straight at Gu Qingchen, "Has the prince met anyone recently?"
Gu Qingchen looked puzzled.
"Where else did you learn these greasy, seductive lines?" Jiang Li yawned. "By the way, Your Highness, have you heard of Worry-Free Grass?"
"Worry-free grass?"
Hearing these three words, Gu Qingchen immediately sat up straight, "Where did you hear this?"
Worry-free grass, a name that sounds very pleasant, is actually a deadly poisonous weed.
This is the poison that Bai Mo was poisoned with today.
After recounting what happened in the An Mansion today, Jiang Li rubbed his temples and said, "Bai Mo said that this kind of poison is only found in the southwest border."
Gu Qingchen paused for a moment, then said, "What Bai Mo meant was that those people weren't going after Miss An, but him."
Jiang Li nodded, "Yes, Bai Mo said that as soon as he poured the wine, he smelled poison in it, and Wanqiu hadn't gone yet when the wine was served, so those people wanted to attack him from the beginning."
Thinking of the commotion over at Mihe, Gu Qingchen said calmly, "The traitor from Medicine King Valley fled southwest. I'm afraid he heard about the appearance of a Medicine King Valley disciple and wanted to use Bai Mo to force the Valley Master out as well."
Jiang Li had heard Gu Qingchen roughly about what happened back then. The cold poison that had tormented him for so many years, the dark force lurking deep in the palace, and the traitor from the Medicine King Valley were probably all related.
In this case, Jiang Li blinked, "Now that the rat has shown its head, Your Highness, do you think we should..."
///
Two days later.
General's Mansion.
"Oh no! Oh no! My sister has been kidnapped by the prince!"
Early in the morning, Jiang Mubai's voice resounded throughout the general's mansion.
"What's going on?!" Jiang Qing was the first to rush out.
Jiang Mubai handed over the letter with a sad face, "This is the letter my sister left behind. She said she would take the prince to see her master and ask the old man to help the prince get rid of the cold poison."
Before Jiang Qing could even reach out her hand, Xue Rou slapped her across the face. "I haven't even looked at it yet, why are you so anxious?"
Xue Rou was puzzled. She had originally planned to take Jiang Li to the farm to soak in the hot springs in the next two days, but the girl kept trying to beg her for permission yesterday and refused to agree. She found it strange.
"Okay, Li'er must have received news from her master suddenly. If I had told you in advance, you guys are so clingy, you would definitely have worried about her. Would she still be able to leave then?"
"Humph, you old man, what you said sounds nice, but please don't pinch me, Dad!"
Jiang Mubai felt like his arm was about to break.
"It's all because of you, you little brat! I told you to go pick up your sister for dinner earlier. If you had gone earlier, you would have run into her! Ah—my daughter, such a good girl, and you actually let the prince abduct her just like that!"
Following Jiang Yao's roar, Gu Qingchen, who was already outside the capital, sneezed loudly.
"Tsk, it looks like someone missed you, my prince."
Jiang Li leaned against the carriage window, staring outside.
When I first came here, I wanted to run away, but before I had walked ten miles, I picked up the prince, and I never left the capital again.
This time, she must take advantage of this opportunity to have some fun.
Gu Qingchen pressed his eyebrows together and said helplessly, "When we return to the capital, I'm afraid the general will come to trouble me."
Gu Qingchen suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did he agree so easily to take the little girl to Mi River?
To be honest, he was not worried that the younger brothers-in-law who were obsessed with their younger sisters and Jiang Yao, who was obsessed with his younger daughters, would cause him trouble, but the dangers he would face on this trip were difficult to predict.
If anything unexpected happened to Jiang Li, he would never be able to forgive himself in his life.
"Okay, I've already left a letter for them. If they really cause you trouble, I'll protect you."
Jiang Li saw Qingchen frowning and misunderstood him, so she started to comfort him instead.
"Besides, in order not to alert the enemy, we even brought my master out this time."
Jiang Li is now extremely grateful that she had made up the story of the Ghost Hand Doctor. In this way, she could take this opportunity to cure Gu Qingchen's cold poison in one fell swoop. After returning, everyone would only be more curious about who the Ghost Hand Doctor is, and would not focus their attention on her.
"Did you leave a letter in the palace?"
She remembered that when she was in charge of the Ninth Princess, Gu Yuyan had been clamoring to go with her. Fortunately, she had a trick up her sleeve. "The herbal medicine shop can't do without you. I feel relieved to have you watching over it in the capital!" This gave Gu Yuyan a lot of motivation.
Gu Qingchen hesitated. He kept the letter, but...
In the palace.
"Gu, Qing, Chen!"
The emperor was halfway through reviewing memorials when he saw the memorial from Prince Jingling for the first time. He wondered what this guy was up to, but when he opened it, he found out that the guy was going to take a three-month vacation!
