Madam General, please run slower.

Chapter 36: Altar Flower

Li has been much more well-behaved in the palace these past few days. After he regained his sight, he read Qi Tan every day and took notes seriously, which made Wei Shiliu and Chunmei feel more at ease.

Li stopped making a fuss, but Wei Shiliu's face became uglier day by day. He had sent the news to the general's mansion when the princess got into trouble that day, but what he got was to wait and see and continue to monitor.

Wei Shiliu thought his master was busy, and asked Wei Wu for news. After learning that Yu Xun had been in the general's mansion these days, Wei Shiliu's face became even worse. No wonder the little princess wanted to run away with another man.

Wei Shiliu, who had been worrying so much about his master and his wife, felt that he had aged a lot in recent days.

After Wei Shiliu hesitated for the Nth time, Li rudely slapped him on the back of his head and said, "If you have to fart, just fart."

Wei Shiliu rubbed the back of his head and coughed lightly, "Princess, you asked me to say it, but it's not what I wanted to say."

When Li was about to slap him again, Wei Shiliu said quickly, "The concubine Su has been running to the general's mansion recently. I'm afraid the Jiang Mansion will make some moves."

"So what?" Li was very puzzled. Not to mention that Yu Xun's target was originally the Minister of War, the Emperor must have taken action as well. It would be strange if the Jiang family was not anxious. But what did this have to do with her?

"Oh." Wei Shiliu seemed to be a little disappointed.

"Princess, you are the mistress of the house, the real master of the general's mansion. This concubine has bad intentions. She is about to jump over your head, and you are not anxious at all?"

Wei Shiliu knew that if these words today accidentally reached Wei Yi's ears, he would be afraid that he would have to leave half his life in the Punishment Hall. However, the little princess gave him too much, so he had to worry about her more.

"Little Sixteen, you just want to watch the fun and enjoy the fun, right?" Li Ke hoped that Yu Xun would be bewitched, and it would be best if she could favor her concubine and kill her wife.

"Princess!" Wei Shiliu was really worried to death. The master was indifferent when the princess was injured, and now the princess was about to be deceived by a bastard outside. How long does the master want to remain indifferent?

Without the princess, where could he find such a generous master's wife? Wei Shiliu, who didn't know his master had been here, was filled with the image of his wife flying away with the small amount of money.

"Okay, stop worrying about it." Li knocked on his head, "With your master's brain, he will come to the palace to find me soon."

"Ah? What's wrong with the master's brain?"

Li continued to flip through the book in his hand without explaining too much to him. He couldn't say in front of the secret guards that his master was a straight man who didn't understand women's minds.

It's easy to guess what the Jiang family is thinking. It's nothing more than letting Jiang Wan get pregnant with Yu Xun's child. But how to implement it depends on how Jiang Wan performs.

As for whether Yu Xun would be tricked, that was not within her plan.

The situation in other countries is still unknown, but according to Tanghulu, her current spiritual power level is already higher than most people in the Qianwu Dynasty. The barrier of the General's Mansion is dispensable to Li. The most urgent task is to find a way to suppress the poisonous insect in her body.

Seeing that Li looked indifferent, Wei Shiliu could only helplessly go aside and lament.

Li didn't pay any attention to the angry look of Guan Wei Shiliu, and was flipping through the books in his hand without distraction. Suddenly, his attention was attracted by some pictures in the book. He immediately turned to the cover page to check the name of the book. There were a few black words written on the book: "Qianwu Wild History".

Li: ...No wonder there is a plot where the first emperor falls in love with his sister-in-law.

It might not be real, but it is wild.

Li nodded between his brows and asked Tanghulu in his mind, "Is it possible that a spiritual plant like Yuantan Flower appeared in the Qianwu Dynasty?"

"That's impossible. Although Yuantan Flower is a common earth-based spiritual plant, it is still a fifth-grade spiritual plant after all, and its requirements for the spiritual power of the environment are very strict."

"Take a look at this." Li reached out and tapped on the page of the book he was flipping through.

"What are you looking at?" Tanghulu looked puzzled and focused his attention on the book in Li's hand.

"In the thirteenth year of Qianwu, Empress Tu and her nephew were found having sex in the back garden. The Emperor, in his grief, ordered his nephew to be executed and imprisoned Empress Tu in Qianfeng Palace, where she reveled every night. Soon after, the Empress gave birth to a foolish princess, and everyone suspected that this was the daughter of the Empress and her nephew."

If you read this passage alone, it's nothing special. The main thing is that the book also has a picture next to it. The figure of a woman on the wooden bed is looming in the curtains, with a heavy iron chain locked around her ankle.

Tanghulu shifted his gaze from the book to Li with a speechless look. He didn't expect his master to have such a strong taste.

Having fun every night after being imprisoned? How wild.

Li pointed to the picture in the corner speechlessly, "I want you to look at this."

Tanghulu followed Li's fingertips and looked at the pictures in the book. He felt that they looked familiar.

After thinking about the question Li asked at the beginning, Xiao Guangtuan was so scared that his hair stood on end. "This, this, this, can't be a Yuantan flower?"

"It is very likely." Li moved his eyes to the text next to it, "In the seventeenth year of Qianwu, the foolish princess suddenly got dysentery, and Queen Tu searched for famous doctors in the world for her. Later, the princes of the Southern Region found a fairy fruit in their fiefdom and presented it to the queen. After the princess ate the fairy fruit, her dysentery was cured. The queen was very happy and often summoned the prince of the South to the palace to reminisce about the past."

The following paragraphs describe the affair between Queen Tu and King Nan, but Li skipped the description and looked at the caption next to the picture, "This fruit grows in the land of quicksand. Its rhizomes are intertwined and shaped like a bowl, with three buds. It can bloom only when planted in the soil. When the soil is removed, the buds close. The flower is red and the fruit is yellow."

Only spiritual plants can bloom in the soil and remain in bud when out of the soil.

"This picture and description are too similar to the Yuantan Flower." Li frowned. Isn't this wild land with scarce spiritual power unsuitable for the growth of spiritual plants? Then where did this come from?

Tanghulu also fell silent. "Is it possible that they were brought here by people from other continents?"

"Unlikely." Li denied this statement. "Yuantan Flower is a soil-based spiritual plant. It will wither if it leaves the land for a quarter of an hour. It is difficult to preserve it, either by transplanting it with soil or making medicine on the spot. After the Southern King discovered this strange object, he transplanted it with soil out of caution, preserving the medicinal effect of Yuantan Flower. And because the palace was built on a spiritual vein, it retained its activity."

"I was thinking, if there are still a few places like the forbidden area of ​​the cold palace with abundant spiritual energy, then this Yuantan flower may really exist."

This wild land is short of spiritual energy. For those who practice Taoism here, it is like a fish out of water; breathing becomes difficult. Even among the quests spread across various continents in Dead Shadow, there is not a single one related to this low-level plane.

Who would go to the trouble of bringing a pile of soil and coming here to plant flowers? Even if a fool really did this, the Qianwu Dynasty would have to have enough spiritual power to grow flowers. Otherwise, even if the transplant was successful, the Yuantan flower would not survive without spiritual power.

After hearing Li's explanation, Tanghulu's eyes suddenly brightened up. "Yuantan Flower is an earth-type spiritual plant. The earth element is the source of Qi and blood. If you have this Yuantan Flower, the poison in the master's body can be suppressed!"

Tanghulu had never expected that there would be such explosive news in this unofficial history. It thought that its master had given up on himself by reading miscellaneous books after learning that he would not live long.

Regardless of whether there is this altar flower in the forbidden area of ​​the cold palace, she has to make another trip there. The elusive creature in the forbidden area may know something.

Li had no hope that the Yuantan Flower could extend her life. Not to mention that this happened a hundred years ago, if there really were other places where spiritual energy flowed, there would be guardians with strange tempers like those in the imperial palace. With her current body that could spit blood and die at any time, it was not easy for her to successfully obtain the Yuantan Flower.

Li didn't say anything to criticize Tanghulu, so as to give the little thing some hope.

Li originally wanted to look for some records about the companion spirit beast in the wild history, so that if this body really died in three years, it would also leave a way for Tanghulu to survive. Unexpectedly, he didn't find the companion spirit beast, but found the medicine to prolong his life.

Li took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the records about Yuantanhua in the book. He marked the line "the seventeenth year of Qianwu" with a red pen. If you pay more attention to the unofficial history and medical books of this period, you may be able to find more information.
