The Regent Princess has run away again

"Speak now, don't try to fool me again."

Xue Zhiyu took back the scalpel and wiped the blade sinisterly, dirtying her precious scalpel.

Lan Fang didn't dare to tell a lie, so she told everything she knew, and finally looked at Xue Zhiyu's expression carefully.

Xue Zhiyu was playing with the scalpel in her hand, and the coldness in her eyes became even more intense. Although Lan Fang did not say who it was, there was no doubt that it was her good elder sister. It seemed that she had to prepare a big gift in return. And that Cai Wentao was not a good guy either.

"My Lord, this is all I know. I beg you to be magnanimous and let me go!"

"Look how scared you are. You were so brave when you took my jade token. Now you are scared after a few words?"

Xue Zhiyu pulled out the silver needle as she spoke, her tone full of sarcasm.

Lan Fang didn't care about anything. When the silver needle was pulled out, she was about to turn around and run away, but her whole body went limp and she fell to the ground.

You looked at all this in amazement. Is this still the princess he knew? It was like she was a different person when she swung the knife just now.

Nangong Ye was also a little surprised. It seemed that he had discovered that she had this side.

Xue Zhiyu put away her silver needle and scalpel and gave Jun Xian a look. The latter quickly understood and said a few words to the captain of the police before following him to another path.

"My Lord...can I leave now?"

For some reason, Lan Fang had a bad premonition quietly emerging, but she didn't dare to turn around and leave immediately. Even if Xue Zhiyu put away the knife, the constables around her were not just for show.

"No hurry, look how scared you are. This princess doesn't eat humans. You must be thirsty after talking so much. Jun Xian, bring the tea over."

Jun Xian walked over slowly with a cup of tea and handed it to Lan Fang.

Lan Fang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she met Xue Zhiyu's gaze, although the girl was smiling brightly, Lan Fang felt that smile was as terrifying as the King of Hell demanding her life.

As long as she could escape, she grabbed the teacup and drank it all. She didn't even dare to look at Xue Zhiyu, and walked towards the yamen tremblingly on the bluestone floor.

The constable was about to stop her, but when he saw Xue Zhiyu's move to stop her, he withdrew his hand.

Jun Xian looked at Lan Fang's departing figure with a little more curiosity, not knowing what interesting things would happen.

The matter had been resolved, and Xue Zhiyu did not plan to stay any longer, so she took Jun Xian out of the yamen.

She looked back at Nangong Ye, thought for a moment and decided to stop, walked over and saluted solemnly, saying: "As long as you need me, you can come to me anytime."

Seeing her so serious for the first time, Nangong Ye couldn't help but joked: "I am really flattered. This is the first time I see the princess so serious."

When Xue Zhiyu heard what he said, the slight throbbing in her heart disappeared without a trace. She rolled her eyes and ignored him.

Would she treat this guy like this if he wasn't always so dishonest?

"I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer."

She also wanted to take this opportunity to visit Qi Yue Kingdom to see if there were really so many herbs that she had never seen before.

Nangong Ye watched Xue Zhiyu's departing back, his eyes becoming more profound.

"Master, we have arrived in the Western Regions. Do we want to check on those people who have been in contact with Wen Jingxuan?"

"Don't move them for now, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Does the princess need anyone to accompany her?"

When Nangong Ye heard You ask this, he suddenly thought of the man next to Xue Zhiyu.

The number one killer of Ryugaoka—Aren.

"Continue to send people to follow, but don't follow too closely. Don't take action unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

Jun Xian thought Xue Zhiyu had already decided where to go, but instead she was wandering around the streets with no apparent purpose.

"Do you know the madam of Ren Cailou?"

"Isn't it Lan Fang? There's a new girl in her building?"

The man who asked the question at the beginning, hearing his accomplice's question, lowered his voice and said, "No, I heard that she lost control of her bladder in public on the street. It makes me feel sick just talking about it."

"Hey, this woman usually looks so noble, but I didn't expect her to be so disgusting."

"That's right. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go to Ren Cailou anymore."

Xue Zhiyu ate those freshly baked corn cakes, listened to the discussions of the people around her, and imagined Lan Fang's expression at that time. It must have been very interesting.

Jun Xian was the one who knew this matter best. He originally thought it might be an ordinary poison, but who knew it was this kind of drug. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This is more painful than killing Lan Fang.

"Do you think it's not good for me to do this?"

After Xue Zhiyu swallowed the last bite of corn cake, she said casually.

She needs to make sure that their three views are consistent, otherwise there is no need to have ulterior motives even if they work together.

Jun Xian shook his head. "No, I think you are very kind. At least you spared her life. The fact that she stole the princess's things was enough to kill her. But I didn't expect that the potion you gave me would have this effect. It's very interesting."

"How about I sell you a bottle? It only costs one hundred taels."

"Still no, I haven't used the anesthetic you gave me yet."

Xue Zhiyu curled her lips and said nothing, then continued to walk around, feeling more accepting of Jun Xian.

Soon, the afterglow of the setting sun slowly faded away, and night gradually fell. Shops on the street hung up lanterns one after another, making their doorplates more dazzling.

Xue Zhiyu took advantage of the fact that it was not too late, took Jun Xian on the carriage and headed for Qiyue Kingdom.

There was no map here, so she could only rely on Jun Xian to tell her. She took the pen in her space and drew a rough map according to what Jun Xian said.

Fortunately, the official roads were very smooth, so she was able to draw the map smoothly.

Jun Xian picked up the lamp she had bought so that it would be easier for her to read the map.

The map is divided into several parts. The largest part is Yan State, followed by the adjacent Western Regions, and above that is Qi Yue State. There are also some large and small tribes scattered nearby.

Qi Yue and Yan also had trade relations, but it did not include medicinal materials, so in Yan, Qi Yue's medicinal materials would be sold at sky-high prices.

"Jun Xian, do you know anything about Qiyue Kingdom?"

Her body can be said to be a typical lady from a wealthy family. She never goes out of the house, and she relies on Xiaoqi and Xiaoqiu to tell her some information about Yan Country.

No wonder he was bullied to this extent, but he didn't dare to fight back and could only endure it.

However, now that she has taken over, I would be letting myself down if she doesn't cause chaos when she returns.

"The surname of Qiyue is Shangguan. The current emperor Shangguan Rui is no ordinary person. He was only ten years old when he ascended the throne, but his mind is exceptionally mature, comparable to His Majesty of Yan. However, his greatest strength is his skill in riding and shooting. He conquered most of Qiyue's land. Qiyue is becoming increasingly powerful under his leadership. However, due to environmental restrictions, he cannot compare with Yan, and naturally cannot threaten Yan's status."

Jun Xian pointed to the land on the edge of the Western Region, with a hint of yearning on his face.

Xue Zhiyu nodded, then carefully put the map away, looked at Jun Xian who was holding the lantern and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's take turns to rest for a while. It will be dark by the time we get to Qiyue, so we can only find an inn on the official road to sleep for the night."

"I'm not tired. You take a rest and I'll keep watch," Jun Xian said. He put the lamp next to him, then lifted the curtain and sat next to the coachman.

Xue Zhiyu was fine. She could relieve a lot of fatigue by sitting for a while. After all, she used to work in a hospital and sometimes she was so tired that she could fall asleep while standing.

When I thought about why I came here, I felt inexplicably funny and sad. That time it wasn't entirely a medical dispute. It was mainly because the patient had a weak will to survive, and even if there was still room for rescue, he could not be saved.

I don’t know how her parents are doing in this world. They must be very sad, seeing their child die before them.

The carriage was driving quickly along the official road and soon saw the inn not far away.

"Rest here for one night and set off again tomorrow morning."

Xue Zhiyu looked at the sky that was getting darker and darker. The woods on both sides kept receding. The night seemed to have swallowed up the entire world. The road ahead was pitch dark. She had no choice but to ask the driver to stop.

"Okay, miss."

The driver pulled the reins, slowed the carriage down, and stopped in front of the inn.

Xue Zhiyu opened the curtain, got off the carriage with the help of Jun Xian, and handed a few pieces of silver to the driver, "You've worked hard on the journey. Take this money to eat and drink."

The driver was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand honestly, "Miss, you are joking. This is my job. Miss, you don't have to pay for my food and drinks."

"This is what you deserve. If you don't want it, do you think it's too little?"

"No, no, I.....that's not what I meant."

This frightened the driver so much that he was at a loss for words and could not speak. In the end, he could only shake his head.

Xue Zhiyu frowned and uttered an impatient sound. This man was too honest. In the end, she had no choice but to stuff the change into his hand and walked into the inn without looking back.

The driver looked at the change in his hand and his eyes became wet unconsciously.

This young lady is a very kind person, God will definitely bless her.

Jun Xian couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The princess was obviously a kind person, but she insisted on pretending to be fierce.

After entering the inn, Xue Zhiyu asked for two upper rooms, said a few words to Jun Xian, and then the two went upstairs together.

"My Lord, I'm beside you. If you have any problem, just shout."

"Well, I understand, thank you."

Jun Xian was still waiting for her to ask something, but after Xue Zhiyu finished her instructions, she went into the guest room and didn't ask any more questions.

It seems that he will have to explain his identity to her next time he has the chance, after all, he has many enemies.

.......

The next morning.

After Xue Zhiyu had packed up, she casually tied her hair into a bun, yawned, and walked downstairs.

Because she was too excited, she woke up before dawn. Her mind was full of the exotic herbs on the ground. She wanted to get up and go immediately, but when she thought that the city gates were not open yet, she calmed down and forced herself to fall asleep again.

"Good morning."

"Well, good morning. What do you want to eat in the morning?" Xue Zhiyu nodded to Jun Xian who greeted her, then pulled out a bench and sat down.

"Siomai and mung bean porridge. If you don't like them, you can order more."

Xue Zhiyu drank a sip of tea and felt more energetic. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "This is enough for us to eat. No need to order more. It would be shameful to waste it."

"By the way, you don't have to keep calling me Princess. After all, this is no longer Yan Country."

"Then I'll call you Miss Xue."

"can."

The waiter brought up two plates of steamed buns and two bowls of mung bean porridge, and took a look at the two people's clothes. "You two are going to check out the medicinal herbs of Qiyue Country, right?"

Xue Zhiyu nodded, as if she had thought of something, and took out three pieces of silver and placed them on the table, "Little Second Brother, we are indeed here for the medicinal materials, could you please tell us about it?"

The clerk took one look at the silver coins, quietly put them in his pocket, and said, "Qi Yue does have such a piece of land, which is full of strange medicinal herbs, halfway up the Wuyun Mountain, but few people come out alive. If you two are just curious, just take a look from a distance, but remember not to go in. Even if someone comes out alive, nine out of ten are crazy!"

Xue Zhiyu and Jun Xian looked at each other without saying anything. The waiter thought that the two had heard him, so after emphasizing it again and again, he turned and left.

"Miss Xue, what are you going to do?"

"What do you say?"

Jun Xian was choked by Xue Zhiyu's words. Seeing her fearless look, he immediately knew the answer, but it was also expected.

"As expected of Miss Xue, she is indeed different from ordinary women."

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they boarded the carriage again and successfully entered the border town of Qi Yue State.

According to the innkeeper, Wuyun Mountain is near the border town. Xue Zhiyu asked the driver to stop, paid the money, and set off according to the map she drew last night.

I originally thought that there would be few people at this point, but who knew that on the way to Wuyun Mountain, there was a team of horse-drawn carriages and many people who were going on foot like them, all carrying medicine baskets and tools.

Among the group, only Xue Zhiyu and her partner traveled lightly, without even a basic medicine basket.

"Please make way for those in front!"

A shout was heard from behind, and after seeing the sign on the carriage, many people made way for it, and even the carriage in front moved to the sides.

Xue Zhiyu also retreated into the crowd and watched the carriage go straight to the foot of the mountain unimpeded. The people who had been avoiding it finally dared to move forward one after another.

Jun Xian seemed to see through her confusion and explained, "This symbol represents the Mohist school, and the current queen is from the Mohist school. Not only that, Qi Yue's number one medical saint is also from the Mohist school. The one who just passed away is the medical saint Mo Chenru, who just came of age this year."

"No wonder everyone made way for him, he must be really capable," Xue Zhiyu said as she walked. She always respected capable people.

A man got off the carriage. He was wearing a dark blue brocade robe with cloud patterns, which made him look tall and slender like a pine or bamboo tree. He had black hair draped behind him and a crown on his head, just like him, simple and unadorned.

He took the medicine basket from the servant and walked straight up the stone stairs alone.

"Oh my God, why is Doctor Mo here too?"

"You don't know, I heard that Doctor Mo has come here several times, but he always came back empty-handed. How could he be willing to accept this?"

"It's only because Doctor Mo can come out safely every time. If it were other unlucky people, maybe no one would know that they died."

"If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't want to come to this damn place!"

Xue Zhiyu's eyes darkened. It seemed that she couldn't be careless this time. There should be poisonous gas or something inside. She raised her head to look at the face that was half covered by the fog, pursed her lips, and quickened her pace.

Because the two of them didn't bring anything, and Xue Zhiyu deliberately walked faster, they were more than twice as fast as the people who went up the mountain with them.

When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Xue Zhiyu let herself rest for a while and caught her breathing. She noticed from the corner of her eye that Jun Xian was still calm and composed, and for some reason she felt a little annoyed.

She swore to practice martial arts well when she returned to Yan Country!

It would be best if I could learn some internal strength or something, then it would be much more convenient.

"What is your purpose?"
