Song Tangxue pressed her advantage, asking questions as she became increasingly curious about the man and wanted to know his true identity.
The Emperor, being the supreme ruler, could easily see through Song Tangxue's thoughts, and immediately shook his head.
"I don't know either. This person is quite ruthless; he must be someone important!"
He had barely finished speaking when he gasped, perhaps because he had aggravated his wound and was in excruciating pain.
Song Tangxue realized that her expression had betrayed her, and immediately regained her usual composure, taking out a small bottle of medicine and saying.
"This wound looks scary, but it didn't break the bone. I'll apply some wound medicine to it for you."
She had already treated it once, but the Emperor was too excited just now, and he was gesturing wildly while speaking, so he aggravated the wound again, and she had to change the dressing.
The eunuch rushed back and brought a basin of hot water.
The Emperor's wound was quickly treated, which was a piece of cake for Song Tangxue.
The emperor put aside the assassination attempt and couldn't help but worry about the empress again.
"If everything is alright, let's continue the search. We must find the Tianshan Snow Lotus!"
He came here for this very purpose, and he must not give up halfway, otherwise the Empress will surely go to the Yellow Springs.
After saying this, the emperor struggled to get up, but the eunuch beside him quickly knelt down and said in a thin voice.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider. Your health is currently failing, and you cannot act rashly. Otherwise, who will the entire nation turn to for help?"
He hurriedly and frantically kowtowed, the dull thuds making Song Tangxue feel unbearable.
Song Tangxue initially suggested that the Emperor personally search for the Tianshan Snow Lotus to test his resolve, and now the test has been passed.
Seeing that the Emperor was about to get up and leave, ignoring the eunuchs' advice, she said in a deep voice.
"The deep love between the Emperor and Empress has completely moved me. I am willing to search for them for you. You stay here and wait for the guards to join you!"
Song Tangxue spoke with absolute certainty, exuding an aura that brooked no dissent, even from the Emperor, the one who held the power of life and death over everyone!
The emperor, who was about to leave, paused, looking at the thin woman in front of him in disbelief.
"Absolutely not! This mountain is extremely dangerous and there are mysterious people there, and not just one. How can we let a young woman like you venture into this danger alone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Tangxue looked at the Emperor with unwavering eyes: "Your Majesty, are you willing to believe me?"
That deep voice clearly spoke of self-confidence.
Even the Emperor hesitated at this moment, and Song Tangxue clearly noticed this and immediately turned and left.
But after taking a couple of steps, he seemed to remember something and pulled out a fruit.
"Eat this fruit; it will help you recover faster,"
True Essence Fruits are extremely precious. Song Tangxue just collected about ten, and she wants to keep the rest, as they might be of great use.
The eunuch standing nearby was overjoyed. He quickly got up from the ground, carefully took the item with both hands, and thanked the eunuch profusely.
"Thank you so much, young lady!"
This time, Song Tangxue didn't say anything more, but left completely.
The eunuch carefully presented the True Essence Fruit and quickly reported to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, this must be a good thing, please try it first!"
The emperor did not speak, but his dark eyes were fixed on the fruit.
He didn't know what he was thinking, then turned around and looked in the direction Song Tangxue had left...
"What do you think of the Third Prince as a good match for this young lady?"
The emperor still didn't eat the fruit, but instead suddenly asked the eunuch a question.
The eunuch was taken aback by the sudden appearance of this name; the topic was indeed abrupt, especially given the person's name!
"ah?"
It is well known that the Third Prince is exceptionally noble, and over the years, both the late Emperor and His Majesty have sought out countless noble ladies who wished to marry him, but all have been rejected.
The only one who could refuse the Emperor to his face was the Third Prince!
"These two are both..."
The eunuch realized what was happening and said after a slight hesitation.
The words weren't finished, but the meaning was already too clear. However, neither of them were easy to deal with; the Emperor was just randomly pairing them up!
Song Tangxue had no idea that she was embarking on a perilous journey once again.
The person he wanted to help was not only enjoying the fruits of his victory, but was also planning his life's most important event in his heart!
The emperor heard the eunuch's hesitation and knew that no one was optimistic about this marriage, but so what? He was determined to give it a try.
"Ha, you always manage to surprise me with something different every time we meet."
Song Tangxue walked carefully along the rugged mountain path, her eyes scanning the surroundings and her ears listening intently, when suddenly a mocking voice rang out.
Zhan Ming suddenly appeared out of nowhere, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
Song Tangxue was extremely surprised: "I was already on guard all around, how come I didn't find you!"
She's quite skilled in martial arts, yet she's easily followed without being detected.
As Song Tangxue said these words, she couldn't help but feel a chill, as if she were facing potential danger!
Zhan Ming, however, did not seem to care. When he reappeared, he was still wearing the same black clothes as usual, and then he spoke.
"Don't forget who I am. If I were easily discovered, I would have been killed long ago!"
Song Tangxue was initially quite shocked, but after listening to the story, she felt it made sense, so she didn't say anything more.
He was too lazy to pay attention to the man anymore; he just wanted to find what he wanted as soon as possible.
Zhan Ming didn't say anything either, but squatted down on either side, as if he was deliberately protecting Song Tangxue.
Although Song Tangxue did not speak, she already had some doubts in her heart...
She was just threatened by a mysterious man. Does Zhan Ming know about this?
This issue is of utmost importance to me!
"What exactly are you looking for, that you're so serious about?"
Zhan Ming listened to the chirping of insects nearby, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally asked out of sheer boredom.
The process of searching for medicinal herbs is inherently tedious and boring; no one knows how long it will take to find a particular herb.
Song Tangxue had long been accustomed to this kind of life. She remembered a certain herb that she had buried deep in the mountains and searched for for more than a month but could not find it!
As Zhan Ming spoke, seeing that the girl in front of him did not reply, he then threatened her again.
"This place is guarded by a mysterious sect. If you step into their territory, even I might not be able to protect you!"
“You’re annoying,” Song Tangxue finally said.
Zhan Ming listened, but simply shrugged and continued to follow beside him with his sword.
If anyone else had made such a comment, they would probably have died in their dreams the next second, but Song Tangxue was an exception.
