Wei Xuecheng reappeared in front of Lin Wanqing three days later.
At this point, Lin Wanqing was able to walk, but her knees still hurt a little when she walked.
Upon seeing Wei Xuecheng arrive, Lin Wanqing bowed gracefully and said, "Wanqing greets the Second Young Master and thanks him for saving my life."
This time, Wei Xuecheng was somewhat surprised: "Miss Wanqing isn't afraid of me anymore?"
Every time Lin Wanqing saw him, it was as if he would devour her.
However, Wei Xuecheng enjoyed this feeling, like a cat teasing a mouse. Lin Wanqing's fear made him temporarily refrain from doing anything to her.
"Second Young Master, please have a seat." Lin Wanqing invited Wei Xuecheng to sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea: "Second Young Master, please have some tea."
She then naturally sat down opposite Wei Xuecheng, picked up her teacup, and said, "I have never been afraid of you, Second Young Master. You saved my life, and I have not yet formally thanked you. I will now express my gratitude with tea instead of wine."
After saying that, Lin Wanqing drank her tea in one gulp. Wei Xuecheng held his teacup but didn't move, looking at Lin Wanqing with a playful expression: "Miss Wanqing, you are a little different today."
Lin Wanqing smiled gently: "It's different, because I can make a lot of money for the Second Young Master. I wonder if the Second Young Master is interested?"
"Oh~ I'd like to hear the details." Wei Xuecheng didn't expect Lin Wanqing to say that, and he was very curious about how a young lady could make so much money for him.
......
While Lin Wanqing was telling Wei Xuecheng about her money-making scheme, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu were leading a group of people to Shenyu Mountain.
Mu Jingshan always ventures deeper into Shenyu Mountain than ordinary herb gatherers in order to find rare medicinal herbs.
He always carried a whistling arrow when he went into the mountains, just in case, but he had never used it before.
Shenyu Mountain is next to Shenyu City, which is named after Shenyu Mountain.
Yesterday, a guard reported that the people the Prince's Palace had stationed in Shenyu City had spotted the whistling arrow emitted by Mu Jingshan and immediately went into the mountains to search for it.
However, after searching for three days and three nights, they still couldn't find the person. The situation was urgent, so the people of Shenyu City sent a message back by carrier pigeon.
Although Mu Jingshan was ostensibly the royal physician of the Prince's mansion, he was one of Xiao Yanchu's few friends.
He couldn't stand idly by when his friend was in trouble, so he was about to head to Shenyu City when Su Ruojin stopped him.
"Your Highness, I'll go too."
Xiao Yanchu refused without hesitation: "No, Shenyu Mountain is too dangerous, and Xiaobao needs you."
Su Ruojin's eyes were firm: "It is precisely because it is dangerous that I must go. Shenyu Mountain is steep and the environment is complex. There is miasma in some places, and there are countless poisonous creatures in the mountain. I know medicine, and no one is more suitable to go with me. Don't worry about Xiaobao. I will arrange his medicine and diet. Just let Yanluo stay and take care of him."
Seeing that Xiao Yanchu was still hesitating, Su Ruojin said with a firm look in her eyes, "I don't want to lose track of you before Mu Jingshan is found. I don't like to wait foolishly without being able to do anything. If you trust me, let me go with you."
Xiao Yanchu's heart skipped a beat; she was worried about him...
"Besides, if I really wanted to go, could you stop me?" Su Ruojin added.
Xiao Yanchu:......
So the two of them, along with Hu Qing and several guards, headed to Shenyu Mountain.
It takes more than ten days to ride a horse from Shenyu Mountain to the capital. In order to save time, we rode almost non-stop along the way. When the horse got tired, we changed horses and continued on our way.
When we were really too tired, we set up camp by the roadside to rest for a while.
Xiao Yanchu felt sorry for Su Ruojin and wanted her to rest at a post station in a town along the way, but she refused.
“If Mu Jingshan is really in danger at Shenyu Mountain, the sooner we arrive, the greater our chances of survival. This little hardship is nothing,” Su Ruojin said.
It wasn't that she was being stubborn; she had often traveled with her master since she was a child, and traveling and camping by the roadside were common occurrences for her, so she wasn't unaccustomed to it.
