I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"It shouldn't be that difficult for Empress Zhaoyi to say that it was an unwanted request, right?" Li Zhao said with a smile, returning to his usual frivolous appearance.

"I hope Lord Li can help me send this man and the doctor down the mountain." Su Minglang paused and looked over there hesitantly. "Of course, it would be best if he could meet me first."

"Your Highness the Concubine Zhaoyi is really good at giving me problems." Li Zhao sighed softly, "There are some things that I cannot say openly, but what I can tell you is that this time the beast attacking people is not that simple."

"At this time, the entire mountain is being searched by additional personnel. It is not easy for me to send the people down the mountain."

"So there is still a way?" Su Minglang understood the meaning of his words and looked at him straight.

"At midnight three days later, I can ask the soldiers who are changing shifts to slightly stagger their time, but whether they can get down the mountain smoothly depends on your ability."

"Three days..." Su Minglang frowned. Judging from Qi Zhongyuan's injuries, it was not certain whether he could get up within three days. But if he didn't leave for three days, how long could Li Zhao keep it a secret for her?

If this person were discovered by others, I'm afraid he would not have a good ending.

In the previous life, this hunting incident passed very quickly and no one took it seriously. However, from Li Zhao's tone, any outsiders would be dealt with severely this time. It was hard to say whether he could be saved from Xiao Heng. Even if he could save this person, it would definitely attract Xiao Heng's attention, and then it would not be so easy for him to do anything.

Regardless of this person's life, Su Minglang lives in fear every day and no longer has the leisure to worry about others. But she now urgently needs a trustworthy doctor, at least not one who stands on Xiao Heng's side.

If this person is missing, his plan will inevitably be delayed. Otherwise, he can only seek help from the Su family. However, looking at the Su family's actions this time, it is clear that they want to treat him as a pawn. If he is a pawn that can be replaced, will they still provide help to him?

What's more, what he was about to do was a matter of life and death. Since he wanted to go against Xiao Heng, he could not expect the Su family to always stand on his side.

"Tsk!" Su Minglang curled his lips in sarcasm. The Su family had always hoped that his status could be taken to a higher level. However, on the one hand, they were looking forward to the protection and glory that he would bring to the Su family, and on the other hand, they were wary of him in every way. It could only be said that he couldn't find a single person who could work with him from that nest of snakes and rats.

"Three days is three days. If he fails by then, it will be his fate." Su Minglang said calmly.

Success or failure three days later will determine the fate of both Qi Zhongyuan and Su Minglang.

"I'm glad that your Majesty knows what's going on." Li Zhao nodded. He had official duties to attend to and couldn't stay long.

After watching Li Zhao leave, Su Minglang walked into the cave. Although it was dilapidated and simple, and one could even glimpse traces of wild animals living here, it was not easy to find a place that could shelter from the wind and rain in such a forest. At least as long as Li Zhao could ensure that this place would not be discovered within the three-day deadline, they would still be safe.

Su Minglang had mixed feelings at the moment. She was glad that this place was designated as a hunting forest, otherwise the court would not have sent troops to drive away the wild beasts, they would not have been able to get such a natural shelter, and she would not have been able to leave the palace to look for someone with a legitimate reason.

But precisely because this is the royal forest farm, they can only act cautiously and timidly. If they are not careful, they may be convicted of treason and end up with their heads and bodies separated.

"What happened?" Su Minglang asked.

"The wounds on your body have been almost treated, but the high fever has not subsided yet. The dead flesh on the wounds needs to be shaved off. I don't know if this young man can endure it." The old doctor looked at her with some embarrassment.

"A good cook cannot cook without rice. There is nothing in this forest, not even a fire can be started. This is really difficult for me."

"Let him wake up first." Su Minglang ordered.

"There will be a period of time at midnight three days from now when you can leave. Someone will come to notify you at that time. I want you to stay in the mountain and take care of him for the next few days. After three days, do your best to escort him down the mountain."

"This deal can save you from having to work hard for generations. It depends on whether you can afford it."

"I am already so old, I will fight for my life!" The old doctor was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "But this young man's injuries are serious. I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve any results in three days."

"Just bring him down the mountain." Su Minglang pondered for a while, "Whether he survives or not is his fate."

"I'll do my best."

Su Minglang took another look at the unconscious man, then nodded slowly, "I can't stay here for long. The gentleman just now will come here later. If you need anything, please tell him."

"However, I can only try my best to satisfy you. After all, you can see the conditions here."

"I understand." The old doctor cupped his hands and then used a wet cloth to cool Qi Zhongyuan down.

Su Minglang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave. It was easy for her to arouse suspicion by leaving Xiaoye and Nanxing alone and going into the mountain. She must not attract any attention at this time.

"How come there is no one left?"

Su's mother stood outside Su Minglang's door and questioned the guards, "Where are the maids around her? Doesn't anyone know where Empress Zhaoyi went?"

"I'm sorry, Madam Su. Concubine Zhaoyi only brought two palace maids this time. They went out early this morning and haven't come back yet." The guard replied with a fist salute.

"If you have something to do, you can leave first. I will report the truth to you when Madam Zhaoyi returns."

"This……"

Just when Mrs. Su was getting anxious, Su Minglang came back staggering from a distance.

The road going up and down the mountain was really difficult to walk on. She was very excited when she saw the bloody man again. She thought that she had sent Xiaoye and Nanxing away early in the morning, and she could have a good rest when she went back, and then waste her time doing nothing.

But things did not go as she wished. Before she reached the door, she saw Su's mother wandering outside the door from afar. Su's mother happened to look back, and their eyes met. Su Minglang couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

"What is she doing here at this time?" Su Minglang muttered. Why did she suddenly come here at this time of the day?

"Langlang!" As soon as Su's mother saw her, she went up to her with a smile.

Su Minglang paused and unconsciously took a step back to distance himself from her. "Zhaoyi, it should be Zhaoyi."
