Chapter 444: Beast Attracting Incense



"I see. I think the princess is too polite. I guess your kung fu must be much better than Princess Saihan's, otherwise you wouldn't dare come here alone."

Chen Li looked at Princess Surina and said with a smile.

Su Rina shook her head slightly, "It's not as good as the Hui'an County Master's."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then looked away. Chen Li's lips curled slightly. It seemed that Princess Surina was not a vegetarian.

What she wants to do has nothing to do with me. I hope she is smart enough not to involve me, otherwise it will mess up what she wants to do.

Over there, Pei Yu and Shen Jingnan followed behind Xie Yunci, and He Yu was there too. At this moment, he frowned, and in his heart he did not agree with the emperor's risky approach.

But he knew that he couldn't stop it, so he simply didn't say anything to avoid offending others.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Xie Yunci waved his hand and interrupted Shen Jingyuan's words, "My dear Shen, my kung fu is not weak, give me the knife."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Jingyuan didn't know how good his kung fu was, but Pei Yu didn't stop him. It seemed that just as the emperor said, his martial arts skills were not weak.

Xie Yunci looked at the tiger dozing off by the stream after drinking water, and said to Pei Yu beside him, "Zi'an, watch over me later. Don't let me get hurt."

Otherwise, the imperial concubine would not be happy with him. But he didn't need to say such words, otherwise it would damage his dignity.

After taking a look at Su Rina, Concubine Bai Shuyi kept her eye on the situation in the west.

Chen Li noticed the hair accessories on her head, her eyes fixed on her, and just as she was about to speak, Mo Qing came over.

“Your Highness, Miss Shen.”

Seeing his brows furrowed slightly, Chen Li said, "Doctor Mo, I have something I want to ask you. Let's go over there and talk."

"good."

The two men dismounted and walked under a big tree. "What's wrong? Did you find something?"

Mo Qing nodded, his expression becoming serious. The two of them had their backs to the imperial concubine and the others.

"I smelled a faint scent of animal-attracting incense in the woods. It must have been there for ten days, so I couldn't find where it came from."

"I've asked Tianqing to inform Pei Yu."

After all, there is an emperor there now, and no one can be responsible if anything happens.

Chen Li murmured these three words, "Beast-attracting fragrance."

Without asking Mo Qing, she could guess what effect this incense had.

The decision to come to the royal hunting ground this time was very sudden. Who set the trap here more than ten days ago?

"Yes, it's the beast-attracting incense. I've seen it once before. The formula for this thing is very difficult to find. Only those old monsters who are good at using poison would make it."

After all, the name sounds very unprofessional. If it appears in large quantities on the market, wouldn’t it cause chaos?

"So, are there any unusual things we can find around here, like more animals?"

Hearing her ask this, Mo Qing's brows furrowed even tighter. "This is what I can't understand. Logically, there should be many animals here, but now, apart from tigers, there are very few birds."

"And I think this beast-attracting incense is slightly different from the last time I smelled it, but I haven't figured out what the difference is yet."

Chen Li nodded and stopped talking, spreading out all her mental power.

That day she only investigated the area near the camp and did not explore the mountain. Now, after hearing what Mo Qing said, she instantly felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, there were fewer small animals around here, and the most eye-catching one was the spotted tiger.

There is nothing on the ground, nothing in the sky, and nothing in the water, so there is only one place.

Chen Li put all his mental strength into the ground, only to find many scorpions on his limbs. To be precise, this was a scorpion's nest.

Moreover, these scorpions are highly poisonous. They seem to be very restless now, constantly moving around in the nest. It is estimated that in a while, they will all come out of the nest.

"Can this animal-attracting incense also attract scorpions and other creatures?"

Mo Qing opened his eyes wide, something flashed through his mind quickly, and after a while he nodded affirmatively.

"Miss Shen, have you discovered something? Yes, this contains something that scorpions love the most, and it can indeed attract a large number of scorpions."

After he said this, he realized that something was wrong.

“Miss Shen, do you mean there are scorpions here?”

Chen Li turned her head to look at the river and nodded: "Yes, and the scorpion is over there, below Pei Yu and the others."

Mo Qing swallowed his saliva. Some scorpions are highly poisonous, while some are not. Who can tell for sure what kind of scorpions are down there?

"Then let's go and inform them quickly."

Chen Li nodded, "Doctor Mo, I'll leave this matter to you. You can say this later..."

Mo Qing nodded, and there was nothing he could do.

He trotted towards Pei Yu and the others. This scene aroused the curiosity of the imperial concubine and Su Rina.

"Princess Hui'an, Divine Doctor Mo is so anxious. Did he discover something?"

Before the imperial concubine could speak, Su Rina couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Li glanced at her, nodded, and said to the imperial concubine: "Your Majesty, Dr. Mo found a rare medicinal herb over there that is exactly what the emperor needs, and Dr. Mo is a little obsessed with medicinal herbs. Isn't this..."

As he said this, he glanced at Mo Qing's jogging back. They both understood what he meant without him having to point it out.

"My Lady, there's a beautiful view over there. I'll take you there. The tiger poses no threat to them anyway, and it's boring to stay here."

Bai Shuyi looked at Chen Li, and after receiving her gaze, he smiled and nodded.

"Okay, but it would be a bit boring for the two of us to go. Princess Surina should come too."

Su Rina nodded, showing no intention of refusing. "Thank you for your kindness, Imperial Concubine and Princess Hui'an. It's really a bit boring."

Chen Li led the way in front, the imperial concubine was in the middle, and Su Rina was at the back.

Mo Qing jogged all the way over, his face and head covered in sweat, not knowing whether it was from tiredness or anxiety.

"Pei Yu, Pei Yu!"

Pei Yu and the others had already discussed the plan there. Just as Xie Yunci was about to take action, he was stopped by Mo Qing.

"Wait, Your Majesty, wait!"

The noise he made was quite loud and almost woke the child up. Fortunately, he braked quickly and thus avoided a pointless fight.

"Doctor Mo, why are you here?"

Of course he had seen Mo Qing before. When he and Pei Yu were marching north from the south to attack the capital, they had been together for a long time, but he had never seen him look so anxious.

He was so anxious that he even lost his usual attitude of being a miracle doctor. He just didn't know what had happened.
