Chapter 199: Undercurrents in the Capital



“Guess who I am?”

The deliberately suppressed voice rang in Hua Yuanzhao's ears.

Hua Yuanzhao's tense body relaxed. She silently put away the small spray bottle in her hand and called out helplessly, "Lin'an, stop making trouble."

"Hey?" The bright and lively female voice fell quietly. Princess Lin'an withdrew her hand, jumped sideways in front of Hua Yuanzhao, tilted her head and looked at her: "Sister Hua, how did you know it was mine?"

Hua Yuanzhao teased her seriously: "I guessed it."

Apart from this girl, who else in the capital would blindfold her and ask such a question?

"What are you doing here?" Rong Xiu grabbed Princess Lin'an by the back of her collar and pulled her away, scolding her in a bad mood.

Lin'an blinked his eyes, his face full of innocence.

"Of course it's because I want to go with you!" Princess Lin'an said confidently, but Rong Xiu's eyelids trembled violently.

"You?" Rong Xiu shook Princess Lin'an in confusion: "We are not going there for fun, let's go home quickly!"

"Why?" Princess Lin'an refused to accept it and waved her arms to try to scratch Rongxiu, but the latter pulled her further away.

"Princess Changle can come, why can't I?" Princess Lin'an kept shouting, "Mother also agreed to let me come!"

"Princess Changle?"

The two were stunned when they heard this and looked at the convoy in confusion. Why was Princess Changle here?

As they were talking, Princess Changle had heard the news and was walking over. She was not surprised to see Princess Lin'an in Rongxiu's hands. She just greeted the two of them calmly and invited them to get in the car to talk.

The outside of the carriage had the family crest of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion hung on it, but inside it was equipped for the princess' travels. It was countless times more luxurious than the carriages Hua Yuanzhao had ridden in before. Even the tea sets on the small table had magnetic bottoms, which made them easy to pick up and would not tip over due to bumps on the road.

Princess Changle ordered someone to pour tea for everyone, and then said: "Madam Rong did allow the princess to accompany you this time."

She organized her words and got straight to the point: "The people accompanying the convoy this time are all good fighters in the Imperial City Army. They are nominally under my command, but..."

Princess Changle glanced at Rong Xiu and said, "Your Highness, please send me as you wish. I will not say no."

Rong Xiu played with the cup and looked at Princess Changle with a smile.

Under Rong Xiu's gaze, Princess Changle opened the map at hand and pointed to everyone: "The nearest place where Suyu grass is produced to the capital is here."

Princess Changle said, "Xian Qin Mansion, Luoxia Mountain."

"Xiao Yaoshen Mountain?" Rong Xiu had heard of it before and murmured thoughtfully.

Hua Yuanzhao was confused by what she heard. She had learned a little about it when she was preparing to set up the clinic, and she also had a rough guess about the origin of Su Yucao.

But where is this Little Yaoshen Mountain?

"This is the famous Medicine Mountain in our dynasty," Rong Xiu explained when he saw Hua Yuanzhao's puzzled look, "It is said that it was built by the old master of Medicine God Valley himself, and it is also called Little Medicine God Mountain."

Princess Changle nodded: "The Gu royal family has received favors from the Medicine God Valley, and has always treated the Medicine God Valley with great courtesy, and has also been very indulgent towards Luoxia Mountain..."

Hua Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows, smelling a hint of gunpowder from the word "indulgence".

"The owner of Luoxia Mountain has a strange temper. This time, with the royal family by our side, it will be smoother." Princess Changle changed the subject and said calmly: "Normally, the prince should be sent, but my mother was afraid that someone would interfere, so she asked me to go with her."

Collecting herbs to save the emperor is either a great merit or a great fault. The queen was afraid that someone would deliberately make trouble to intercept everyone and delay treatment, so she gave up sending the prince to accompany them and instead sent Princess Changle, who had practiced martial arts since childhood.

After all, these princes have hidden ambitions. Instead of releasing them so that everyone has a clear goal, it is better to keep them under our noses and watch them fight.

"Mother also said that the capital was going to be in chaos." Princess Lin'an dragged her cheek and yawned, "She also told me to come out with her to avoid the limelight and not to cause any trouble in the capital."

Rong Xiu looked at his bored sister and licked his teeth in hatred. Their journey would not be easy. Who would be willing to take such a little brat with them? Mother was really relieved!

However, no matter how dangerous this journey is, it is probably not as dangerous as the commotion in the capital.

Rong Xiu raised his hand and gave Princess Lin'an a slap on the head, warning her: "Behave yourself! Otherwise I will abandon you on the road!"

Princess Lin'an hugged Hua Yuanzhao's arm and bared her teeth at Rongxiu: "How dare you! I'm going to complain to my mother! Hey, Sister Hua, you will help me!"

Hua Yuanzhao did not respond to this, but just watched the quarrel between the brother and sister with a smile.

Princess Changle sipped her tea and watched for a long time. When the two were about to fight, she said briskly, "There is one more person who should be introduced to Miss Hua. I almost forgot..."

Rong Xiu let go of Princess Lin'an and asked in confusion, "Who is this person? Why do they need you to introduce him personally?"
