The palace of Haiguo is extraordinary, with red buildings, green tiles, long corridors and porches. It is different from the one in West City, exuding a sense of publicity and luxury. Every building exudes nobility, and it can be compared with the Daming Palace.
Mei Die stood on the high pavilion and looked down. She not only admired the grandeur of this place, but she liked the atmosphere in West City more. It was relaxed and comfortable. There was always a sense of seriousness here, and there were many rules in the palace. She had to spend some effort to learn them.
She daydreamed for a while and then quickly quickened her pace, wanting to hurry to An Yan's place. She also lived in this palace, at the southernmost end. There was a small courtyard with a two-story cottage in the courtyard. There were long corridors on both sides leading to the entrance. There were many exotic flowers and plants here, and there was also a hot spring for people to nourish their energy.
An Yan slept on the second floor, resting her head on a jade pillow that Ouyang Mingxi had sent over. It was said that the jade pillow was very good for one's spirit and was specifically used to gather energy.
Mei Die walked into the yard. She didn't rush into the room, but stood outside for a while and looked around.
Yan Qingqiu came out from the inner room and asked her, "Why don't you go inside?"
Meidie turned to look at him and said, "I'll get some fresh air outside and will be back in a moment."
"What's the matter? Are the people over there giving you trouble?" Yan Qingqiu was also a smart man, so how could he not notice something strange about Mei Die.
"That's not the case. It just makes me feel that there is a big gap between me and here." Mei Die told him the truth and asked him, "Did you give An Yan the medicine?"
"After taking it, I feel a little better and my body is not so cold anymore." Yan Qingqiu replied.
Meidie went into the room and saw the table was full of medicinal herbs. She asked, "Who sent all these?"
"The eldest master asked his servants to bring it here." Yan Qingqiu said, sitting down at the table, "I don't know how Li Rongsen is doing. I really hope he can find the herbs. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome."
Mei Die went to the inner room to check on An Yan first, and found that her complexion was slightly better today. It turned out that this place was good for her health, and her body became less stiff. She then walked out of the room and asked Yan Qingqiu, "Have you ever thought about who An Yan's true love will be?"
"I haven't thought about it. I think it's okay to ignore it." Yan Qingqiu said.
"Fate is a weird thing. How can someone without fate compare to someone with fate?" Mei Die was a little worried.
Yan Qingqiu took a sip of the tea and said, "Li Rongsen is different. He is the person An Yan is determined to be with, and I believe she will not give up."
"That's right. He refused to give up even when it was so painful." Meidie also agreed with this point, but she felt that it was always a bit risky for a little person to go against the will of heaven.
The only thing Yan Qingqiu was worried about was Li Rongsen. He said, "Rongsen needs to move faster. After all, this is someone else's territory."
"Why don't you trust the people here?"
"It's always good to be more careful. We are not familiar with them, but they are so eager to help us. I am a little worried." Yan Qingqiu said.
"That young master is Li Rongsen's friend. I heard that they have known each other for a long time." Mei Die said.
Yan Qingqiu glanced at Mei Die and said, "Anyway, it's best not to have other men get close to An Yan, so that you can be absolutely safe, right?"
Mei Die nodded slightly, but she also had something to say, "I think the eldest master really knows his limits. He only asked me about the situation here, but he didn't plan to come over to take a look. Just now I heard the second master said he wanted to come over to take a look, but he said not to come over to bother us."
Yan Qingqiu looked at Mei Die and said, "The eldest master hasn't married yet, so he'd better be careful."
"Why, are you afraid that the eldest master will fall in love with An Yan?" Mei Die asked him.
"It's not impossible. An Yan is a flower, and everyone loves her." Yan Qingqiu spoke the truth. He didn't treat Mei Die as an outsider, so he said it to her generously, but he also warned her, "You can not tell Bei Feng about this. I don't have any objection to the gentlemen here. I just don't want to cause any more trouble. I'm just waiting for Li Rongsen to come."
"Don't worry, I'm not a gossipy woman." Mei Die hastily assured him, and then said, "I also hope that Li Rongsen can come earlier so that An Yan can wake up quickly and the two of them can be together again."
Yan Qingqiu didn't say anything, just sipped his tea. He felt that it would be difficult for them to be together.
On the other side, Li Rongsen also wanted to end the battle quickly, so he set out with Xu Gongze early in the morning. The two of them went to that place, but they finally arrived there in the evening.
Xu Gongze said: "That place is so winding, there is no shortcut."
"It's much faster now. If I came alone, I might not be able to find it." Li Rongsen glanced at Xu Gongze and felt that it was the right decision to bring him here. It really saved a lot of time.
Both of them came on horseback, Li Rongsen rode a white horse, and Xu Gongze rode a black horse. There was a sunset glow on the horizon, and the orange-red glow was floating not far away, making people sigh at the beauty of nature.
There was no road in front of Li Rongsen and Xu Gongze. No matter where they went, there were mountains blocking their way and they could not find a way out.
Xu Gongze said: "Let's wait a little longer. When it gets dark, I'll take you to find the entrance."
"Is it inconvenient now?" Li Rongsen asked him.
"At a certain point after dark, the barrier will become very weak. You can take advantage of this opportunity to go in." Xu Gongze explained to him, signaling him not to rush.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"I really hope I can get the herbs quickly and not let An Yan wait too long." Li Rongsen murmured to himself.
Xu Gongze looked towards Li Rongsen and said, "You are indeed very good to the city lord."
"She treats me very well, and I want her to be safe." Li Rongsen sighed. He was not afraid that An Yan would forget him, he was only afraid that something would happen to her.
"Why should I treat you like this? You truly love each other." Xu Gongze also sighed.
Li Rongsen did not answer. He said, "Let's find a place to rest first."
"Follow me, I am very familiar with this area. There is a cave there. Let's go there and light a fire. It will be dark soon and very cold." Xu Gongze reminded him.
Li Rongsen nodded and followed Xu Gongze to the cave.
This cave is not small, with an area of about 20 square meters, and there is nothing inside.
Xu Gongze signaled Li Rongsen to stand inside for a while, and he ran outside to bring back some wood, some leaves, hay, and the like, and took some cooking utensils off the horse.
Li Rongsen also started to help light the fire, and then sat down next to Xu Gongze, watching the soup in the pot boil, and then threw vegetables and meat into it.
The food was arranged by the old man. He insisted that they take some with them, just in case there was anything to eat and they wouldn't have to go outside to pick it. Now it came in handy.
Xu Gongze said, "We can set off after dinner." He took out the food from the pot and put it into a small bowl. Seeing that Li Rongsen didn't move, he urged him and said, "Why don't you eat? Eat."
Li Rongsen lowered his eyes to glance at the empty bowl in his hand. He actually didn't have much appetite, but thinking that it would take some energy later, he also scooped food from the pot.
This made Xu Gongze secretly feel relieved. He had poisoned the pot. He only needed to take a few bites and he would be able to see the man fall into deep sleep after a while, which would make it easier for him to do his job.
