Chapter 143 Is the information you investigated wrong? Why did the future princess travel overnight?
In the carriage, Lan Xiyuesi was lying comfortably, with her hands resting on her head and her legs bent.
"Miss, I heard that bandits are rampant in Mogu Mountain. Do we really want to go there?" Chu Xia looked out the window from time to time.
Lan Xiyue glanced at her lightly, and a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes as clear as autumn water.
"You're stupid! Huguo Temple is even farther away than Xiangguo Temple. If we really want to go to a temple to chant sutras for salvation, why not go to Xiangguo Temple? Of course we should go to Mogu Mountain."
Chu Xia was slightly stunned when she heard this, as if she was choked by the young lady's words.
She lowered her head and muttered softly, "Oh, the Regent also went to Demon Valley Mountain to suppress the bandits. Miss, you went to Demon Valley Mountain not just to find herbs for me, but to find the Regent, right?"
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Wow! Our Xia Xia is really smart. Well, I miss the Regent and went to Mogu Mountain to find the Regent. Now, I'll find some herbs for you while I'm at it."
She narrowed her eyes slightly, "You've been poisoned. The pharmacy doesn't have the turtle stinkweed. You can only try your luck at the Magic Valley Mountain." She had asked when she bought medicine at the Baicaotang pharmacy before, and found that many rare herbs were out of stock.
Chuchun listened quietly on the side. Last night, the young lady said that she wanted to go to Mogu Mountain to see if she could find the stinkweed. The old lady also asked the kitchen to prepare so much dry food. It was obvious that she knew the young lady's real purpose.
Chu Xia muttered to herself upon hearing this, "Oh, so even if I wasn't poisoned, Miss would still travel thousands of miles to find the Regent! It seems that Miss is truly deeply in love with the Regent, even more so than when she was pursuing the Crown Prince."
Lan Xiyue glared at Chu Xia upon hearing this and pretended to be angry, "You little girl, you're so naughty that you're teasing me?"
Seeing this, Chuchun said, "Miss, you should get some sleep. You didn't sleep last night."
Lan Xiyue hummed softly, slowly closed her eyes, and began to rest.
At noon, the carriage slowly stopped beside a clear stream.
Lan Xiyue stretched and then jumped off the carriage lightly.
Early spring and early summer followed closely behind, each carrying a heavy baggage.
Lan Xiyue sat down on a big rock. Chuchun took out dry food and water from his bag and handed them to Lan Xiyue respectfully with both hands.
Lan Xiyue took it and said, "After eating, we'll rest for an incense stick before setting off again. Yundian, how long will it take us to reach Demon Valley Mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Dian replied, "Miss, if we continue at this speed, it will probably take more than half a month."
Lan Xiyue frowned slightly when she heard this. "Half a month? That's too long. Can we reach Demon Valley Mountain within ten days? This night-shining pearl will be hung on the horse's neck. We will travel day and night. Thank you and Yun Lei for taking turns driving."
Upon hearing this, Yunlei and Yundian looked at each other and answered in unison, "Yes, Miss." Yunlei took the night pearl.
Chu Xia's eyes lit up, "Miss, this is the night-shining pearl that the Queen Mother gave you. It's so precious! Miss, you actually use it for lighting? How extravagant!"
Lan Xiyue said angrily, "Who am I doing this for? If it weren't for finding herbs for you, why would we be traveling so fast?" If it weren't for these two girls, she would have ridden a horse, which was much faster than a carriage. Besides, this carriage is so bumpy, and after sitting for a whole morning, I feel a little uncomfortable all over, with a sore back. Eh! In modern times, driving is so much faster.
Chuxia stuck out her tongue, said nothing, and lowered her head to chew on her dry food.
"System, are there any cars available for exchange in the mall?"
System: "Does the host want to fly?"
Lan Xiyue's eyes lit up. "No way, there's even a plane? Why didn't I see it in the mall?"
System: "Host, you can dream of it."
Lan Xiyue: ...This dog system is really a spirit. It can even play tricks on her. When she figures out how to deal with it, she will make it pay.
An Yi watched from afar, very curious, "Where is the future princess going? She looks like she's going on a long journey. How strange! An Er is also going on a long journey. Why hasn't he caught up yet?"
After a long while, An Yi saw Lan Xiyue and her group got on the carriage again and left.
An Yi watched the carriage go away and muttered, "Why hasn't An Er followed yet?"
At this moment, An Er's figure came from afar, rushing like a gust of wind, jumped down, and landed beside An Yi, looking a little breathless.
An glanced at him, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Why, you're still panting, so useless? How is the investigation going? Where is the future princess going?"
An Er leaned against a big tree and waved his hand, "Let me rest for a while."
"Still resting? The future princess and the others have already left."
An Er panted and said, "I've been using Qinggong and running all the way here, hurrying and hurrying, I'm exhausted."
An Yi always looked at An Er as if he was a fool, and said unhappily, "Then why don't you prepare horses?"
An Er's body stiffened. That's right, why didn't he prepare a horse? He just stupidly performed Qinggong, and when he got tired, he just ran away. He was exhausted along the way!
"Well, our future princess is going to the Huguo Temple to chant sutras to pray for her mother's soul to be reborn." An Er changed the subject.
An Yi was stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Huguo Temple? Why didn't he go to Xiangguo Temple, which is closer to the capital, but chose to go to Huguo Temple, which is farther away?"
"Everyone in the capital knows that the former wife of the Marquis of Wu once went to the Huguo Temple to pray for a child. She came back pregnant. The old lady had a nightmare in which she refused to reincarnate, saying she was worried about Miss Lan. To ensure that the former wife of the Marquis of Wu could reincarnate peacefully, Miss Lan went to chant sutras to pray for her soul to be reborn. She will have to wait for three months."
Upon hearing this, An Yi quickly took out a pen and paper from his pocket and wrote a secret letter.
He blew a whistle, and soon a carrier pigeon landed on his shoulder.
An Yi put the letter into the bamboo tube and let it fly.
"After the master comes back, go directly to Xiangguo Temple to pick up the future princess and return to Beijing together." An Yi muttered to himself with a deep look in his eyes.
At this time, An Er was sitting on the ground and taking off the bag he was carrying.
He took out a steamed bun and started to eat it, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
An Yi walked over, sat next to him, and took a steamed bun and started eating.
An Yi and An Er rested for a while, and then the two of them chased after them again. However, what made them both frustrated was that they didn't catch up until the evening, and they were both exhausted.
I originally thought that Lan Xiyue and the others would find an inn to rest. After a whole day's journey, they would arrive at the Huguo Temple tomorrow afternoon. But who knew that Lan Xiyue and the others would actually travel all night.
The two were dumbfounded. An Yi glared at An Er, "Is the information you gathered wrong? Why would the future princess travel so fast at night? We're not far from the Huguo Temple here! We can get there tomorrow afternoon. Why would we have to travel so fast at night?"
An Er shook his head, "Maybe Miss Lan is sincere and wants to get to Huguo Temple sooner?"
An Yi said: "Let's go and get two horses. I'm too tired to use Qinggong now."
