Chapter 579 Arrival at Destination
The palace of Haiguo is extraordinary, with red buildings, green tiles, long corridors and side porches. It is different from the one in Xicheng. It exudes a sense of publicity and luxury. Every building shows its nobility and is comparable to the Daming Palace.
Mei Die stood on the high pavilion and looked down. She not only admired the grandeur of this place, but she also preferred the atmosphere in West City, which was relaxed and comfortable. There was always a sense of seriousness here, and there were many rules in the palace, which she had to spend some effort to learn.
She daydreamed for a while and then quickly quickened her pace, wanting to rush to An Yan's place. She also lived in this palace, at the southernmost part. There was a small courtyard there 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 sent by Ouyang Mingxi. It was said that it was very good for one's spirit and was specially 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'm going to get some fresh air outside. I'll be back in a moment."
"What's wrong? Are the people over there giving you trouble?" Yan Qingqiu is also a smart man, so how could he not notice Mei Die's abnormality.
"That's not the case. It just makes me feel that there's a huge gap between me and this place." Mei Die told him the truth and asked him, "Did you give An Yan the medicine?"
"After eating 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 full of medicinal herbs. She asked, "Who sent all these?"
"The eldest master ordered his servants to bring it over," Yan Qingqiu said as he sat 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 looked slightly better today. It turned out that this place was nourishing, and her body became less stiff. She 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 bit weird. How can someone without fate compare to someone with fate?" Mei Die was a little worried.
Yan Qingqiu took a sip of tea and said, "Li Rongsen is different. He is the man 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, but she felt that it was always a bit risky for a little person to go against the will of heaven.
Yan Qingqiu's only concern was Li Rongsen. He said, "Rongsen needs to move faster. This is someone else's territory after all."
"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. That way you can ensure absolute safety, right?"
Mei Die nodded slightly, but she also had a few things to say, "I think the eldest master really knows his limits. He only asked me how things were going here, but he didn't plan to come over and take a look himself. Just now I heard the second master said he wanted to come over and take a look, but he said not to bother me."
Yan Qingqiu looked at Mei Die and said, "The eldest master hasn't married yet, so it's better to be careful."
"What's wrong? 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, loved by everyone." Yan Qingqiu spoke frankly. He didn't treat Mei Die as an outsider, so he spoke to her generously, but also warned her, "You can not say this to Bei Feng. I don't have any objections to the young masters 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 gossip." Mei Die quickly assured him, and then said, "I also hope that Li Rongsen can come soon 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.
Li Rongsen on the other side 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 right 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.
"The barrier will become very weak at a certain time after dark, and you can take this opportunity to go in." Xu Gongze explained to him, signaling him not to be anxious.
"I really hope I can get the herbs quickly and not let An Yan wait too long." Li Rongsen muttered 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 do I treat you like this? You truly love each other." Xu Gongze also sighed.
Li Rongsen didn't 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 some 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, about twenty square meters in area, 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, etc., 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 so that in case there was anything left to eat, they wouldn't have to go outside to get it. Now it came in handy.
Xu Gongze said, "We can set off after dinner." He scooped the food out of the pot and put it into a small bowl. Seeing that Li Rongsen didn't move, he urged him, "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 soon, he also scooped food from the pot.
This made Xu Gongze secretly relieved. He had poisoned the pot. He only needed to take a few bites and he would see the man falling asleep in a short while, which would make it easier for him to do his job.
