The night was as dark as ink. Rong Xiu walked alone in the woods and found the flat land that Hua Yuanzhao had mentioned based on his memory.

Concerned about the effects of the hallucinogenic drug, Rong Xiu didn't dare to get too close, for fear of getting into trouble.

But when he looked around, was there anyone else around?

"Zhao Zhao?" Rong Xiu raised his voice and looked around with his fists clenched vigilantly.

Could it be that he was drugged by hallucinogens again? Is the drug Zhao Zhao prepared so powerful?

"Miss Hua? Hua Yuanzhao?"

Rong Xiu's voice became louder and louder, but the only response he got was the rustling of the evening breeze.

He stepped forward tentatively and entered the place Hua Yuanzhao mentioned when he left. He was not awakened until he stepped on and broke a dead branch on the ground.

He didn't have any Chinese medicine, and his five senses were still there, but he couldn't see her anywhere his senses could reach.

Rong Xiu was now completely anxious and frantically searched around for clues.

He had not taken a few steps when he suddenly heard Shihu's anxious voice.

"…If the Master knew, he would be angry!"

Rong Xiu was slightly startled, his brows furrowed into a knot, and he immediately walked towards the direction where the sound came from with light steps.

"If the lady knew that you were not doing a good job, she would be angry too."

"Young Master hurt Miss Hua so much that she felt like her eyeballs were being torn apart. If he knew that I drugged Miss Hua, he would definitely not let her off—"

Before Shihu finished speaking, Rong Xiu couldn't control himself and rushed over to question Shihu.

"What did you do to Zhao Zhao?"

Shihu was startled and fell to his knees with a thud, staring at him.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law—"

Young Master!

Rong Xiu grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up, demanding through gritted teeth, "Speak!"

Shihu was caught off guard and was frightened by him, and the box in his hand rolled uncontrollably to the ground.

The moment the box cracked, several small porcelain bottles rolled out.

The person who delivered the message to Shihu had long disappeared, leaving Shihu alone shivering here.

"My dear, I haven't made my move yet!"

Shihu begged for mercy tremblingly: "This is the hallucinogenic drug that my wife found! Please be careful!"

It would be no joke if this got crushed!

Rong Xiu frowned and stared at him for a few breaths before putting him down.

Shihu breathed a sigh of relief, knelt on the ground, picked up the porcelain bottles one by one, and put them carefully into the box.

It took my lady a lot of effort to find these things, luckily everything is fine!

Rong Xiu looked at Shi Hu who was kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice: "Where did you take Zhao Zhao? What did my mother want you to do to her!"

Shihu was stunned for a moment, and after a brief hesitation, he rushed over and hugged Rongxiu's thighs: "Sir, I was forced to do this!"

Rong Xiu looked at him with disdain. Shi Hu hugged his thighs tighter and said flatteringly, "It's nothing, Madam just wanted me to show Miss Hua the hallucinogenic drugs I collected from all over the place."

"Take a look?" Rong Xiu sneered, obviously not believing it.

Shihu laughed dryly. He couldn't say that Madam meant to give Miss Hua all the medicines one by one in order to force Miss Hua to prepare the antidote, right?

But the Madam is so wise that she probably knows that he can't possibly drug Miss Hua without telling the Master...

Thinking of this, Shihu suddenly felt confident. He nodded heavily to show his loyalty and changed the subject.

"Sir, didn't you go to see Miss Hua?"

Rong Xiu felt uneasy, and gave him a sidelong glance before saying, "I didn't find it!"

Shihu looked at him awkwardly, and suddenly understood where this man's anger came from.

"Don't worry, sir. With Miss Hua's body shape—"

He looked at Rong Xiu's darkening face and quickly changed his words: "With Miss Hua's cleverness, she wouldn't have made any noise when she was abducted. She must have walked away on her own!"

Rong Xiu nodded, and his rationality gradually returned, but he was still anxious.

"She wouldn't be afraid of getting me into trouble, so she would go and turn herself in, right?"

Shihu blinked, thinking that his master was thinking too much.

"Sir, why don't we look around first?" Shi Hu suggested, fearing that his little ancestor might talk big and make things awkward.

The two looked around but didn't even see Hua Yuanzhao's shadow.

Seeing that the sky was already turning pale, Shihu, despite the low pressure from Rongxiu, gritted his teeth and suggested: "Sir, why don't we go back and take a look? Maybe Miss Hua has already gone back!"

Rong Xiu glared at him: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Just as they reached the entrance of the cave, they smelled the scent of fish. They pulled aside the vines and went in, and sure enough, there was another person inside.

Hua Yuanzhao sat by the fire, stirring the fish soup in the bamboo tube, and asked, "Where have you two been? Why did you come back just now?"

Shihu felt aggrieved. It was clearly them who searched around outside, so why was this guy biting back?

Rong Xiu coughed dryly and put his heart back into his stomach: "Nothing, I just went to look for you, but you weren't there."

Hua Yuanzhao smiled guiltily and pointed to the bamboo tube and fish soup base beside him: "I went to catch some fish. We probably just missed it."

Who would have thought that this guy would actually go to her! Fortunately, she was smart!

but……

Hua Yuanzhao looked at Rong Xiu's slightly messy hair and the dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes gradually softened.

This guy was really worried about her...

"The fish soup will be ready soon." Hua Yuanzhao coughed dryly and asked Rong Xiu to sit down.

"Also, the antidote is already in sight, just give me some more time," Hua Yuanzhao said.

"Really?" Rong Xiu's face lit up with joy, and the tired smile in his eyes was now filled with a touch of genuine joy.

With the antidote, it won’t be long before she is cleared of the charges!

"Of course." Hua Yuanzhao smiled and looked at Rongxiu with satisfaction.

He is also a good brother. He has put a lot of thought into finding an antidote for Princess Lin'an.

"Then take a look at this and see if it works?" Rong Xiu handed her the box in his arms: "This is a hallucinogenic drug I collected from somewhere else."

Shihu looked up at this side, but dared not say anything.

This thing was clearly found by Madam, why is Young Master trying to take away the credit?

Hua Yuanzhao's smile faded slightly. She stood up, clutching the box, and said in a deep voice, "I'll go analyze it right away! I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, he ran out in a hurry holding the box. Rong Xiu was a step too late to stop him.

He turned his head and saw Fuling with a pursed mouth, looking like she was about to cry.

"Even if you are worried about the poison in Princess Lin'an, you should give my young lady some time to rest, right?" Fuling said distressedly, "Young lady has been working hard all night and finally got a chance to rest..."

Shihu glared at her angrily and muttered quietly: "My master has been guarding all night, and was just frightened by your young lady and searched around here! Why doesn't your young lady sympathize with my master?"

Hearing the sound, the two glared at each other, gritting their teeth in hatred.

Rong Xiu glanced at the two of them and ignored their quarrel.

Fortunately, Hua Yuanzhao ran fast this time and came back quickly. There was a smile on her face when she pushed aside the vines and walked in.

"I found it." Hua Yuanzhao went straight to the point without waiting for Rong Xiu to ask questions.

"This is the poison that the princess was poisoned with." Hua Yuanzhao said, handing the half-empty small porcelain bottle back to Rongxiu.

"Nanzhao's hallucinogenic drug, Huangliang." Hua Yuanzhao said, "I have a rough idea of ​​the antidote, but I'm just missing a few herbs."

"You say." Shihu said hurriedly.

Hua Yuanzhao was not vague either. He directly handed over the written prescription and said awkwardly, "There is another medicinal ingredient, which may be a little difficult to deal with."
