Miao Xiang is not good at remembering people's names, but she can remember these herbs at a photographic level.

"Rong Zhen."

"Yes! Rong Zhen, you haven't told me the purpose of your going up the mountain with me. Are you going to collect some herbs or save your relatives?" Miao Xiang was a quirky girl who could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

"To be honest with you, there is indeed someone who is extremely important to me. She was murdered and poisoned." Rong Zhen had not intended to tell her the reason so early, fearing that Miao Xiang would reject it outright, so he had been testing and observing her.

"So that's how it is. Where is that person?" Miao Xiang sympathized with those who were possessed by the Gu, because her father had been suffering from this disease for a long time. She put herself in their shoes and could imagine how painful those people felt when they were poisoned by the Gu. Some people could not bear the pain and would have thoughts of suicide.

"In the capital, I have an unwelcome request. I want the girl to go back to the capital with me." Rong Zhen has already observed that Miao Xiang is indeed a genius in using Gu. After taking her back, maybe she can really turn the tide.

"Go back to Beijing with you?" Miao Xiang was stunned for a moment after hearing Rong Zhen's request. She still had her father at home. If she was asked to give up everything and go to Beijing with him...

"Don't worry, I will have someone take good care of your father." Rong Zhen assured her, which put her mind at ease.

"Let me think about it again. By the way, how long has that person been poisoned?" Miao Xiang asked doubtfully. She also had to ask about the time, including the method of poisoning. There is a lot of knowledge in this, and Rong Zhen is a layman. He only has a partial understanding and does not know the whole reason.

He explained everything that had happened before in detail. After listening to it, Miao Xiang thought for a moment and made a judgment.

"It's a cold Gu. This kind of Gu is very easy to raise, but it can't survive in extremely hot places. Otherwise, it will become very dry and crawl around in the human body. At that time, the human body will feel as if it were pierced by thousands of arrows. Now it's winter, and your important person may be hibernating at this moment."

Miao Xiang hit the nail on the head. At this moment, Gu Yunru had slept for three days and three nights. Xiaoye Doctor Hu and others at the door were so anxious that they almost broke the floor tiles, but they could not wake Gu Yunru up. They watched her fall asleep and could not wake her up no matter what they did.

"Please come back to Beijing with me as soon as possible. I will agree to any reward you want, including my life." Rong Zhen knew that this matter could not be delayed, and begged her sincerely.

"Hey, what do I need your life for?" Miao Xiang looked at the man with determination in his eyes, and was afraid that he would not give up if she did not agree to his request.

"What does that girl want?" Rong Zhen put his hand down and looked at her seriously. No matter what she wanted, he would find ways to get it for her.

"I haven't thought about going back to Beijing with you yet, but we need to wait two more days." Miao Xiang was moved by his sincerity. She saw that he was not a lazy person. He came here with so much hardship just to ask for medicine, so she naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, young lady." After Rong Zhen said this, he couldn't help shivering. He was still frightened after his skin was scratched by a smile, and he was even more in awe of the trees, birds and other things in the forest.

If Gu Yunru were here, she would definitely walk around happily and have a look. These new things would be so tempting in her eyes.

On the other side, the palace was brightly lit, with servants guarding the door. Every day, someone would come to take the night shift, for fear that the princess would suddenly wake up and say she was hungry, and there would be no hot meals or hot water available.

"Why hasn't the princess woken up yet?"

"I don't know. Four days have passed and the prince hasn't sent any letter back."

The servants were hiding in the corner and whispering. Suddenly, a tall figure stood behind them, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his stern face. The two maids saw someone behind them, and it turned out to be Lord Qingfeng. They hurriedly lowered their heads and walked away.

Qingfeng strode into the hall with the sword at his waist, and looked at Doctor Hu sitting on the chair with his eyes fighting and he looked like he was about to fall asleep. It was really hard for him to keep watch for so many days.

"Master Qingfeng." Doctor Hu immediately perked up.

"Imperial Physician, Princess, are you still not awake?" The sky was already turning pale. Normally, she would have woken up at this time, but four days had passed and there was still no movement. She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

"Lord Qingfeng, the princess's pulse and breathing have always been normal. It should be fine if she just fell asleep." Doctor Hu said respectfully with his head lowered, but Qingfeng was not convinced by such words.

"If an ordinary person doesn't drink water for three days, his body will show signs of abnormality. But she hasn't been able to eat anything for four days. What should we do?" Qingfeng looked at the person lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her body showed signs of swelling. She obviously didn't eat anything, but she was getting rounder and rounder. It was really puzzling.

"My lord, please be patient. You can still drink enough water every day." Doctor Hu had to comfort Lord Qingfeng when he saw him looking extremely anxious. It was already daybreak and the maids kneeling at the door were all dozing off.

The scene changed.

When Rong Zhen and Miao Xiang returned to the yard, they found that there was a commotion here. It seemed that someone had looted the yard. The medicinal herbs drying in the yard and the poisonous insects that were being raised had all been taken away.

"Dad! Dad!" Miao Xiang walked around the room but didn't see her father. She panicked and came to Rong Zhen. "Dad is missing, and Miss Gongsun is also missing. Where could they have gone?"

"Don't be anxious." Rong Zhen took out a flare and lured out several guards a hundred meters away. Naturally, he brought some secret guards with him when he came here to protect him, so that those minions would not follow him and he could not get rid of them. He thought he had successfully left those minions behind, but he did not expect to implicate Miao Xiang's father.

He saw a secret guard seriously injured, struggling to death, coming in front of him, vomiting blood. Miao Xiang was shocked and didn't know where this man came from.

"He seems seriously injured..." Miao Xiang hesitated whether to help him in to feel his pulse, but saw this man kneeling in front of Rong Zhen, took out a dart and fell to the ground, dead. Miao Xiang was so scared that she couldn't speak. She watched a life die in front of her, but the man next to her didn't react abnormally.

"Hey... wake up." Miao Xiang shook his arm. Unexpectedly, this man really died. He used his last bit of strength to just take out the dart. "What does he mean by taking this?"

Miao Xiang picked up the dart and handed it to him, not understanding what it meant. It seemed that these two people were in the same group.
