Chapter 33 We Can’t Lose
Mrs. Qi was pregnant, and Fu Zhaoning still took care of the little life, otherwise she wouldn't care so much.
She really wanted to ask Qi Yunhai why he was running around in the mountains at this time when he knew his wife was pregnant, but she was too lazy to ask about other people's affairs.
"They escort Master Qi and his wife down the mountain. Otherwise, they won't be able to enter the city after they get down the mountain."
The city gate had been closed for a long time, but you could still enter with a badge from Prince Jun's Mansion.
"But Miss Fu, please let me stay. I know nothing about medicinal herbs and can't help you even if I want to," said Zhong Jian.
"Take Old Man Ji down the mountain as well." Fu Zhaoning glanced at Old Man Ji.
"Ji, old..." head?
Zhong Jian almost bit his tongue. He looked at Mr. Ji and was speechless at how miserable he looked now.
"Mr. Ji, do you want to go down the mountain together? No, Mr. Ji, I can only ask you to go down the mountain first."
Zhong Jian suddenly thought of something.
"I'm not going down the mountain. I want to collect herbs. The grand ceremony of betting on herbs will be here soon. I can't lose this year!" Old Man Ji got angry and glared at Zhong Jian, "Who are you from? Why are you so overbearing? This mountain is yours? You tell me to go down the mountain, and I'll go down? How embarrassed would that be?"
"Your identity will affect Miss Fu. If people knew that you were also in the mountain and were with Miss Fu, then no matter how many kinds of medicinal herbs Miss Fu dug, people would suspect that you helped her."
"What the hell?"
Old Man Ji looked at Fu Zhaoning, "Are you making a bet or doing something else?"
“It’s hard to explain.”
Zhong Jian said, "No, it's easy to explain. Mr. Ji should know about this. Mr. Ji, I am the guard of Prince Jun, and Miss Fu just got married to our prince."
"Oh my god!"
When Zhong Jiangang said this, Old Man Ji was stunned at first, then he immediately understood. He stared at Fu Zhaoning with wide eyes.
"You married Prince Jun?"
He looked very shocked.
Fu Zhaoning also realized at this time that this old man Ji, who looked like a poor old man, should not be an ordinary person.
She nodded, "They say I'm not Princess Jun yet."
Old Man Ji stamped his feet, moved closer to Fu Zhaoning, and whispered to her, "What a loss, what a loss. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped it. Although Prince Jun has a high status, he has a lot of trouble."
Fu Zhaoning almost wanted to laugh.
"Old man, we just met, how could you have known this so early?"
"That's right," Old Man Ji sighed, "It's all my fault for coming to Luoyue Mountain. If I had stayed in the city, I would have seen the excitement. Prince Jun returned to the capital and got married. It must have been grand and lively. But it doesn't make sense. Prince Jun hasn't been back to the capital for so many years, and I haven't heard that he had an engagement with anyone before. How can he be engaged as soon as he returns to the capital?"
He was very surprised, "Who is the matchmaker?"
Fu Zhaoning paused.
"Myself."
"What?"
"It wasn't a big deal. I just got married on the street." Fu Zhaoning added.
The corners of Zhong Jian's mouth twitched.
To be honest, no one had expected that the prince would get married on the street as soon as he arrived in Beijing.
Old Man Ji was very curious about this matter, but he also knew that it was not convenient to ask more questions at this time.
"Since you're married, you must secure the position of Princess Juan. We can't lose!" Old Man Ji's momentum rose all of a sudden, "Are you sure you can find ten kinds of medicinal herbs?"
He dared to ask, and Fu Zhaoning dared to answer.
"have."
She spoke confidently, without any hesitation.
"Hahaha! Good job, I knew I was right!" Old Man Ji reached out and patted her shoulder. "Okay, then you just look for the medicine, and I will go down the mountain to help you clear the obstacles! There will definitely be people who want to do something behind the scenes, leave it to me."
Old Man Ji said this and went down the mountain with the others.
Once they left, only Fu Zhaoning and Zhong Jian were left here.
Zhong Jian was curious and wanted to ask her how she became Master Ji's apprentice, but Fu Zhaoning looked at the sky and was not prepared to talk to him anymore.
She is going to dig Dendrobium officinale.
Zhong Jian knew he couldn't help, so he could only follow quietly.
Fu Zhaoning took the torch and quickly went to the other side of the water cliff. He looked out and finally understood what Old Man Ji meant when he said that they could only dig late at night.
Because now, when it was dark, she could see a layer of faintly glowing plants around the tree hole.
This plant looks like moss, covered with a layer of powdery substance. It is this powdery layer that is glowing, and the light is faint blue.
If it was still slightly light, it would definitely not be visible. At first, she didn't see it when she shone the torch down, and only saw it clearly after she moved the torch away.
A gust of wind blew over, and some of the powder floated down.
Maybe it would be poisonous if it was covered with this powder. She tentatively threw a branch down, and the branch was immediately covered with blue powder, and smoke came out with a "sizzle".
At the same time, something flew out of the tree hole with a whoosh and broke the branch in one blow!
Fu Zhaoning didn't even see clearly what it was, but he saw that the surface of the branch was completely black and it broke into two pieces and fell down.
Hiss.
She took a deep breath. She could only dig herbs late at night? What was that?
"Ms. Fu, be careful." Zhong Jian looked at her worriedly.
"It's okay, don't come over."
Fu Zhaoning moved the torch over again and took a closer look. Finally, he saw a few branches of Dendrobium emeraldum sticking out from the lower side of the tree.
It is lush and green, and lusters like jade, with small lavender flowers forming a very lush cluster.
Her eyes lit up.
Anyway, she is determined to get this green-heart Dendrobium.
Fu Zhaoning was thinking about what he could use in his pharmacy, and she actually thought of something.
She had stockpiled a box of instant glue before!
At that time, she was thinking about experimenting to see if there was anything that could quickly seal the medicinal materials without a container, so she modified the instant glue and made a whole box of it.
"Zhong Jian, please turn around. I feel threatened when you look at me like that." Fu Zhaoning tried to make Zhong Jian not look at her.
Zhong Jian turned around.
She immediately took out a large bottle of instant glue, opened the lid, and squeezed it towards the tree hole.
Ouch.
A large bottle of instant glue was squeezed in, and something inside was trying to jump out, but as soon as its head popped out, its body was sealed by the instantly solidified glue.
Fu Zhaoning immediately squeezed another bottle of glue over, and the glue was all over the thing's head. It struggled for a while, and then gradually stopped moving.
The powders are also covered with glue and will not float down again.
Fu Zhaoning was delighted, it worked!
If Old Man Ji didn't have the time, he really wouldn't be able to dig this Dendrobium emeraldum. I don't know if he had discovered that there was a living poisonous creature hidden here before.
Fu Zhaoning immediately climbed down, quickly stood on the tree, and dug out the Dendrobium emeraldum.
Just as she put the Dendrobium emeraldum into the medicine room, there was a clanging sound of sword strikes from above. She looked up and saw a figure throwing a stone at her!
