Chapter 661: Danger in the Forest
Princess Fuyun is here? Here?
Fu Zhaoning was still quite surprised about this.
"What is she doing here?"
She had thought that at this time the Emperor of Dahe would keep Princess Fuyun tightly detained in the palace and keep her by his side, but she didn't expect that she would come out again.
“Since there are good medicinal herbs here, she will definitely come over, and there is also a great medical association.”
"Look at my status. I feel like doctors aren't particularly respected these days." Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but make a joke. "Otherwise, when I was in the capital of Dahe, the Emperor of Dahe would have to invite me to the palace respectfully and hold a banquet for me, right?"
"Do you want to enter the Dahe Palace for a banquet?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
"That's not the case. I'm not interested in entering the palace." Fu Zhaoning really doesn't like the palace now. It's suffocating.
The ladies were scheming against each other, and the servants looked humble and insignificant. Fu Zhaoning didn't feel at ease when he thought about their fate in life.
Moreover, those in power can cause someone to lose their head with just a few words.
In any case, Fu Zhaoning was not willing to enter the palace.
"Isn't that what I said?"
"The emperor of Dahe didn't value you. He was blind." Xiao Lanyuan actually knew what she meant. He held her hand and stroked it gently. "But it was also because we didn't give him enough time. We left the imperial capital just after you became famous. Besides, the royal family and the dignitaries trust the Great Medical Association the most. They always think that those who join the Great Medical Association are truly outstanding in medical skills."
"You mean to say that the people that the royal family would really treat as honored guests are the doctors who have joined the Great Medical Association?"
"Yes. However, you will surely become famous for your medical skills. If you don't want to join the Great Medical Association, no one will dare to ignore you in the future."
"Puchi." Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but laugh.
She leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "I was just joking. I don't really need the royal family to treat me as a guest of honor. I didn't become a doctor for fame and fortune."
"Well, of course you are not, but many people are. Princess Fuyun is probably here for the medicinal materials and the people from the Great Medical Association. Only these two points can convince the emperor to let her out."
Fu Zhaoning looked at him, "Is she coming for you? Since your fates are so compatible, she won't let you go so easily, right?"
After she finished speaking, Xiao Lanyuan held her hand tightly, and then he said calmly, "So you have to protect me."
puff.
"I protect you?"
"Well, I'm your husband, you have to protect me from being touched by other women."
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help laughing again.
"What if I ruined your good fortune?"
"I have no interest in other women, Ningning. You were the first girl I met when I returned to the capital, and you took me in immediately. I must be loyal to you, and you can't just abandon me."
"Stop, stop."
Fu Zhaoning quickly pulled his hand away. When would Xiao Lanyuan say something like that?
"She is with Situ Bai." Xiao Lanyuan added, "Maybe they will be together."
He has never been so gossipy.
"Junior sister, we should go now."
Dong Huanzhi's voice came over, and Fu Zhaoning patted Xiao Lanyuan, "Take me down."
Xiao Lanyuan took her downstairs, and then he disappeared in a flash.
Fu Zhaoning came out from behind the tree. Dong Huanzhi saw her come out and looked back. He didn't know what she was doing there alone.
"Let's go."
They walked forward again. It was about 3:30 in the afternoon. They had been walking in the woods for so long but still hadn't seen any small cliffs. It seemed as if they had always been in the woods. It was so deep and secluded that they couldn't get out.
Suddenly a disciple of the Medicine Alliance shouted.
“There’s someone here!”
He pointed to a big tree.
There were two people sitting on the ground under the tree, with their backs against the tree and their heads lowered. They looked as if they were tired and sitting there to rest.
But with so many of them coming over, the two men didn't notice at all, which seemed very abnormal.
"Let's go and take a look."
Eleven Thirteen said to Fu Zhaoning and walked over.
"Be careful." Fu Zhaoning reminded.
Just as Eleven walked up to the two men, one of them suddenly looked up, his eyes widened as if he was frightened, his neck leaned forward, his body tensed, and he looked like he was about to pounce on them.
He seemed to be awake in the previous second, but suddenly he made such a movement, which really scared people.
Eleven and Thirteen drew their swords in an instant and pointed them at him.
The other person remained motionless.
The man who suddenly looked up appeared to be in his early thirties. He should have been considered handsome, but perhaps because of this expression, he looked a little scary, and veins were throbbing on his forehead.
"Who are you?"
Dong Huanzhi was afraid that Eleven Thirteen would not recognize him, so he took two steps forward and asked.
He has been in Jicheng for a long time, so maybe he would recognize the other party if he told him his identity.
But just as he asked the question, the man's eyes bulged and a gurgling sound suddenly came from his throat. He suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck, scratched his throat with his fingers, opened his mouth wide, and looked very painful.
"Get out of the way!"
Situ Bai's voice was heard from behind Fu Zhaoning and the others.
As he spoke, Fu Zhaoning was already helping Ji Lao back away. She also spoke hastily, "Be careful!"
As she and Situ Bai finished their words, a black object suddenly flew out of the man's mouth and pounced towards the face of Eleven, who was closest to him.
Eleven had already been alert when he heard Fu Zhaoning's reminder before. Now, before he could see clearly what the thing was, he subconsciously slashed at it with the sword in his hand.
The sword did touch the thing, but it made a clanging sound and he even felt a vibration at the base of his thumb.
He was shocked.
"retreat!"
The thing was cut and flew away, but it was not seen falling. Instead, it deviated in another direction and landed on a tree on the side.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Baihu and his men had already protected Fu Zhaoning and his men and helped them retreat for a while.
Xiao Lanyuan landed beside Fu Zhaoning.
How could he hide when he encountered something like this? Naturally, he had to return to her side and protect her.
"Hide for a while longer." Fu Zhaoning whispered to him.
They retreated to the corner, with Baihu and his men standing in front, blocking her and Ji Lao. Situ Bai and his men came over but were unable to see this side in time.
Fu Zhaoning saw several people around Situ Bai, including a girl wearing a veil. She recognized her as Princess Fuyun at first glance, but there were also several guards around Princess Fuyun, who must be the emperor's men.
