Regardless of which one it is, as long as it has no ulterior motives, Zhong Muyu is safe; if it does have ulterior motives, then Zhong Muyu cannot deal with it.
Thinking too much only adds to your worries.
Just as she was lost in thought, 4601 had already brought her the test results.
Looking at the string of terms on the test report, Zhong Muyu once again admired Su Zhirou.
Fortunately, Lu Ziyuan regained his senses in time and took her to prison; otherwise, with all those various kinds of medicines she had, she could have poisoned the entire Prince's mansion and turned it upside down.
At the very bottom of this list of ingredients, several things caught Zhong Muyu's attention.
That was the recipe for those strange pills. Seeing this, Zhong Muyu finally understood why Su Zhirou had been convulsing so much back then.
Just then, Zhong Muyu heard Zaochun calling her, so she quickly slipped out of the space and saw Zaochun push open the door and enter.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Seeing Zhong Muyu sitting on the soft couch, Zaochun asked, "Are you resting?"
"No, we're researching Su Zhirou's medicines."
"This servant thinks that you have experienced so much danger outside, and now that you have returned safely, you should rest well. Anyway, the royal physician, Mr. Sun, has come to see you, saying that it is about those medicines."
"That's it? They're quick."
Zhong Muyu followed Zaochun out, where Mr. Sun was already waiting in the hall.
"Dr. Sun, is there any result?"
"Your Highness, we have studied these medicines, but there are some that we cannot identify, so we have come to ask Your Highness for guidance."
The Sun family physician was sincere. Ever since Zhong Muyu cured those poisoned maids last time, they had developed even more admiration for Zhong Muyu.
The items were placed on the table in front of Zhong Muyu. The only things the physician couldn't figure out were the slender bottle containing the scented powder and the pills.
After explaining to Zhong Muyu what those medicines were and what their uses were, Physician Sun picked up the slender porcelain bottle and said, "We know this is a kind of aphrodisiac, but its potency is extremely strong. It is already a kind of poison that can damage the body. However, we have not been able to find out what it is made of."
Zhong Muyu nodded: "Aphrodisiac, just as I thought."
"As for these pills, they contain dozens of tonics, and there are a few ingredients that we have never seen before, but they should not be poisons."
Zhong Muyu picked up a pill: "In my opinion, this thing is more poisonous than the others."
"Why does Your Highness say that?"
"Ordinary poisons are quick to kill upon contact with blood, but this kind of poison can make you lose all your wealth and end up with nothing but bones."
The physician from the Sun family was terrified: "What kind of poison is so potent?"
"Poppy, have you heard of it?"
Physician Sun thought for a moment: "I have indeed heard of it, but this is a plant from another region, extremely precious, and I have never seen it before. However, this thing is not poisonous, is it?"
"This stuff isn't like any other poison, but it's addictive. Once it takes effect, it's worse than death."
Taking this opportunity, Zhong Muyu gave the physician a thorough explanation of the dangers of poppies. The physician listened very attentively and even took out paper and pen to write it down carefully in the end.
"I never imagined that poppies had such effects. If they are misused by evil people, disaster will surely follow."
Zhong Muyu said, "I'm telling you this so you'll keep an eye out. I recently discovered something like this in the city, but it's rare and not everyone knows much about it. If a doctor can announce this, I think everyone will pay more attention."
The physician from the Sun family nodded: "What the princess said makes sense. It's just a pity that this thing is rare. If only we could find one."
"If you put it that way, I actually do have one."
Zhong Muyu took out two large opium gourds: "These are poppy seeds, but I don't know how to grow them. I'm giving them to you. You can use them to study or grow them, it's up to you. But you can't eat them or burn them."
Physician Sun carefully took the two opium gourds. He hadn't expected the princess to have so many things. Since she had entrusted him with these precious items, he would certainly not disappoint her expectations.
After Physician Sun left, Zhong Muyu carefully put away Su Zhirou's belongings as evidence.
After waiting all day, and with Lu Ziyuan still not returning by evening, Zhong Muyu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
According to Zhiyu, if they can't find him no matter how hard they search, Lu Ziyuan might have gone to Xirong alone. If that's the case, then things are dangerous.
Unfortunately, it started raining outside that very night.
Zhong Muyu curled up on the bed, the thunder disturbing her peace of mind, but despite this, she slowly drifted off to sleep after a long day.
In a daze, a fog enveloped her, and when she woke up again, she was in a desolate wilderness.
Zhong Muyu looked at all this in confusion. She was just sleeping in Xinxiang Courtyard. How did she suddenly end up here?
Unable to discern directions in the misty, desolate mountains, Zhong Muyu could only wander aimlessly forward. Before long, a figure suddenly appeared in the mountains.
Zhong Muyu couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his figure, he should be a man. He was dressed in simple, elegant white clothes, as if he could disappear into the mist at any moment.
"Hello?"
Zhong Muyu tentatively went up to greet him, but no matter which way she walked, the person was always just a short distance in front of her.
This made Zhong Muyu wonder if she was hallucinating.
Just then, the man stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.
Looking in that direction, at the end of the fog, there seemed to be another figure.
Is that Lu Ziyuan?
Zhong Muyu thought this must be an illusion. How could she possibly see Lu Ziyuan? Before she could think any further, the mysterious man in white disappeared into the mist, and she found herself standing in front of Lu Ziyuan.
"Zhong Muyu? Is that you?"
Lu Ziyuan tentatively asked her, even though they were quite close, Lu Ziyuan seemed to have poor eyesight and couldn't focus at all.
Zhong Muyu's heart tightened; she wanted to go further, but she couldn't.
So she called out, "It's me, Lu Ziyuan. If you remember me, come back quickly. I'm waiting for you at the Prince's Mansion."
"The Prince's Mansion? You've gone back? You're safe and sound?"
"Yes, I'm back safe and sound. Please come back soon too. I...I miss you so much."
Lu Ziyuan stopped searching and looked in the direction where Zhong Muyu was, as if he really saw her there: "I miss you too. Wait for me, I will definitely ride back as fast as I can!"
Zhong Muyu wasn't sure if he had seen her. When she reached out to touch Lu Ziyuan, her gaze suddenly shifted, and she was plunged into endless darkness.
Is this a dream?
After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Muyu finally regained consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by familiar curtains and a familiar room.
"Tsk! It really is a dream."
Zhong Muyu got up and yawned, feeling somewhat disappointed.
