The Regent Princess has run away again

"Brother, where did Master go?"

Xue Zhiyu finally couldn't help it. She put down her teacup and looked at the person sitting opposite her with his legs crossed, with a hint of worry between her brows.

Mingzhi still looked calm and composed, turning the beads in his hand, saying nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Master sometimes disappears for more than ten days. I once asked Master about this, but he said he had something important to tell me. Don't worry, Master is very capable."

Xue Zhiyu finally relaxed a little. She sighed and stood up. She glanced at Ming Zhi who was looking so carefree and said helplessly, "Why don't you come with me to take a look?"

"No need. I feel at ease with you here, Junior Sister," Mingzhi said as he took a plum from the fruit plate and handed one to Xue Zhiyu.

Xue Zhiyu met Mingzhi's relieved look and speechlessly planned to ignore him. After taking the plum, she turned around and walked out again.

Inside the thatched hut, the man covered in blood had long lost his former arrogance. There was almost no healthy flesh on his body, and he lay weakly on the muddy ground. If one could not vaguely see his slightly twitching body, one would probably think that he was dead.

There was a sinister look in Nangong Ye's eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a frightening and dangerous aura emanated from his brows. The long sword in his hand was pointed directly at the man's eyes.

The sword was extremely sharp, but it felt strangely cold under the refraction of the sunlight. It was the long-lost black iron sword that could cut through iron like mud. At this moment, it only lightly touched the man's cheek, and soon a scar appeared on his cheek.

"Heh... I never thought that the regent king would treat others in such a shameful way. I came here on behalf of Huang Yi to make friends with Yan Country, but I never thought that the regent king would act like this! I will definitely report this matter to my emperor!"

The man's weak voice sounded slowly. He raised his head unwillingly and stared at Nangong Ye, wishing he could pounce on him and drink his blood and eat his flesh.

"Those who are on good terms with Yan Country will be treated as honored guests by this king. If they are trying to stir up trouble or intentionally destroy the relationship between Yan Country and other countries, then don't blame this king!"

Nangong Ye looked down at the man lying on the ground like an ant, with a bit more contempt in his eyes. He sneered a few times, and before the man could react, he tilted his sword.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The man covered his bloody left ear, which was empty. The piercing pain made the man spit out blood. At this moment, he wished he could be free immediately!

As if he could see what the man was thinking, the man in brown robe, who had been silent all this time, rushed forward and stuffed a piece of rag he picked up into the man's mouth.

"Master, how do we deal with this and the ears?"

"Of course I will return it to the Second Prince Qi Yue. This is my good intention. After all, the Second Prince sent a great gift to the Yan Kingdom. Only a gentleman can reciprocate."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

The man in brown robe picked up the ear from the ground and was about to go out when he heard Nangong Ye's voice sounding from behind.

"Remember to find a nice-looking box, and don't be disrespectful to others."

You had just returned from Xue Zhiyu's place and was about to report what happened today when he saw a man in a brown robe walking out holding a bloody ear. He immediately understood what was going on.

He walked in quickly and saw that the man on the ground had fainted. He glanced at him and then looked away, looking at Nangong Ye and said, "Master, the princess will finish her follow-up consultation with the people today, and they will all be able to set off back to Yuyang County soon, but the princess said that all the manjizi powder needs to be destroyed, so we need manpower."

"Well, do as she says," Nangong Ye said as he picked up a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the sword without any hesitation.

You nodded knowingly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that the master really has special feelings for Princess Kangle. Even if Princess Furong in the palace knew about it, there would probably be a fuss.

Before You could think about it, Nangong Ye's voice rang out.

"Call Dr. Wei and don't let anyone die."

"Master, I'll go over right away, but it's strange that the old man follows the princess every day, acting like a good student. I've never seen such a thing before."

When Nangong Ye heard this, he inexplicably thought of her busy appearance these days. Her eyes were so sparkling that people could not take their eyes away. Her plain clothes still couldn't hide her brilliance. The slightly curved corners of her eyes when she talked and laughed made her unmade-up face look extremely bright.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly, and he didn't even notice it. When he was recalling these things, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to drown people.

You was really shocked. He saw the change in Ye's expression clearly. Was he really dazzled?

"Do you need me to ask you to come over?"

Nangong Ye's unhappy voice instantly brought You back to reality, and he had no choice but to respond and retreat quickly, still frightened by Ye's smile in his mind.

The next time he sees Lu Tingxuan, he will definitely tell him about this.

Doctor Wei was still immersed in the drawing sent by Xue Zhiyu. He admired it as he read it. This drawing was extremely detailed and the painting was done with impeccable craftsmanship.

He picked up the pen and ink he had prepared and copied the prescription into the notebook he carried with him.

"Old man, come with me!"

When Doctor Wei heard the familiar voice and looked at the drop of ink that had smudged the letter, he gritted his teeth in anger. He put the letter away, turned around and glared at the person who came.

"You better have something important to do, brat. Otherwise, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!!"

"Come on, come on, come on, this must be an important matter."

When Doctor Wei arrived at the thatched cottage, he saw the dying man and seemed to be used to it. He bowed to Nangong Ye who was sitting on the throne and said, "I greet His Royal Highness the Regent!"

"Well, Doctor Wei, there's no need to be polite. Please stand up quickly."

Nangong Ye went over to support him, then said, "This man cannot die. It will be useful for me to keep him."

"Yes, I will do my best to protect him."

You handed over the medicine box, which looked exactly like the medicine box that Doctor Wei usually used. Doctor Wei was so angry that he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"How are the arrangements going?"

"Everything has been arranged. Our people have gathered all the medicine bottles together and are waiting for the princess' next step."

"Okay, let's go over and take a look."

On both sides of the official road, Xue Zhiyu asked Mo Chenru to tell all the people in advance the news of returning to Yuyang County at 9:00 p.m. Everyone was naturally eager to return to their homes.

Xue Zhiyu did not dare to relax at all during this period. After all, she really had no idea how to deal with the follow-up.

She sat leaning against a tree. The layers of branches and leaves blocked most of the sunlight. The occasional breeze blew in from afar, carrying with it water vapor, taking away a lot of the summer heat.

"Xiao Qi, do you have any good ideas? After coming here, I found that the knowledge I learned before is not completely useful."

In his mind, Xiao Qi listened to Xue Zhiyu's sighs leisurely, digesting the sun and moon essence he had just absorbed, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, it's just manjizi powder, just use the wood butterfly, grind them into powder, then mix them with water, and finally pour it out. Remember to pour it under the blood-sealing tree."

"Where does this blood tree grow?"

"Near the swamp."

Xue Zhiyu really wanted to beat him up this time. Listen to what he said.

"You really deserve a beating. If you could beat someone up in your mind, you would probably just lie down and talk to me."

Xiao Qi shrugged. He was telling the truth. It was a very familiar place to them. It was as easy as walking on flat ground.

Xue Zhiyu's consciousness withdrew from her mind. Now she had to find out whether there was a swamp nearby.

She rubbed her shoulders, stood up, and swept the dirt off her skirt. Just as she was about to run to ask Ming, a deep voice came from behind her.

"What's troubling Princess Kangle? Why are you so worried?"

"You Min, why are you here?"

When Xue Zhiyu saw the man's appearance, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. When did he come here and why didn't she notice him?

"Just walking around. Princess, don't worry. I know what to say and what not to say."

Nangong Ye's handsome face had a hint of smile on it, and he looked harmless, especially with the folding fan in his hand, making him look more like a scholar without any fighting power.

Xue Zhiyu thought there was nothing wrong with this, so she thought for a moment and said, "Do you know where there is a swamp nearby?"

Nangong Ye was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her to ask this, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"Behind this deep forest is a swamp, but there are many dangers on the road. If the princess needs someone to lead the way, I am willing to help her."

I have to say, this man's smile is really easy to fall in love with. If the master is a cold and handsome man, Nangong Ye is the opposite. His eyes are enough to charm thousands of girls.

Xue Zhiyu turned her head slightly unnaturally. Beauty really was a misleading thing. She still had important things to do.

"Then ask You to bring all the bottles of Manjizi powder that you collected. You will also need about ten taels of Wood Butterfly powder, which needs to be ground into powder. You will also need to buy one tael of water chestnut. Thank you for your help."

Nangong Ye looked at the person who was talking in front of him and had a new understanding of her.

You would probably be shocked when he saw this scene. After all, it was the first time that his master laughed like this. He wanted to write a book to record this funny story immediately.

It was like hell.

"Okay, since the princess has given instructions, I will definitely convey your meaning to you."

As soon as the words fell, the scene fell into an awkward moment, and Xue Zhiyu had to be the first to speak: "Why don't you see You?"

"He's busy."

You, who was originally following quietly not far away, saw a man in a black robe appear behind him from nowhere after his master finished speaking.

"Master You, please."

You had no choice but to do it with a sad face, but in his heart he admired Xue Zhiyu more and more. Thinking about it this way, the princess and the master were a good match, and both of them were not married.

"What are your plans for the future, Princess?"

"I intend to implement education throughout Penang. Everyone will be able to read and write. It is no longer limited to the children of the nobility. The poor people will also have the opportunity to go to school, regardless of their family background, only their character and knowledge will be judged."

After saying this, Nangong Ye paused as he waved his folding fan. His eyes were more serious than ever before. If someone else had said this to him, he would have just regarded it as flattery.

But her words gave him a different feeling, and he knew she would definitely do it.

"How does the princess intend to implement it?"

"Keep it secret for now," a hint of cunning flashed across Xue Zhiyu's lively eyes, and she looked playful like a civet cat that had successfully stolen something.

Nangong Ye looked at the girl's charming expression, the subtle feelings in his heart gradually magnified, and his heart beat faster uncontrollably. He was not an inexperienced man, so he naturally knew this kind of feeling.

"Okay, Princess, if you need me, just let me know."

"I won't give you any money."

"it is good."

This time it was Xue Zhiyu's turn to be stunned. Looking at the handsome face in front of her, these few words were like a light feather gently brushing across her heart.

She coughed unnaturally and changed the subject, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way later."

You brought all the things with a few people. Xue Zhiyu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. She ran to several large medicine jars, grabbed a few pieces of water chestnut from the medicine bag and put them in her mouth, then walked over and poured all the medicine powders together.

"Come over here and put a few pieces of water chestnuts in your mouth. Mix the powders together. You will need to dissolve them in water before pouring them."

"I know there's a spring before we go to the swamp."

"Okay, then arrange a few people to escort the people back. I only need three people to go with me."

You subconsciously glanced at Nangong Ye, and seeing that he had no objection, he nodded and said, "No problem, then do as the princess says."

Mo Chenru and Mingzhi also came over at this time. Mingzhi looked at them back and forth, raised his eyebrows, and quickly walked to Xue Zhiyu's side.

"You are planning to do something big, why not bring your senior brother along with you?"

"I want to go too."

Xue Zhiyu didn't think it mattered, as she only needed one person.

"Forgive you..."

"I'll go as well."

This sentence scared Mo Chenru and Ming Zhi, especially the two who knew his identity, they were more or less unable to react.

Mo Chenru glanced at Nangong Ye from the corner of his eye, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he became a little more thoughtful.

Mingzhi was filled with disbelief. Could it be that he fell in love with his junior sister? !

Thinking of this possibility, Mingzhi looked at Nangong Ye with a scrutinizing and examining look. He would not let his junior sister be bullied, even if this man was the Regent!

Xue Zhiyu had no idea what these two people were thinking. When Nangong Ye suddenly interrupted her, she was a little confused and didn't know why he wanted to go with them.

But for now, let's deal with this matter first. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's set off now."

The four of them walked into the deep forest together. The deeper they went, the more they could feel the air around them becoming more humid, taking away some of the heat.

Xue Zhiyu was holding a can of mixed medicine powder. Looking at Mingzhi holding it with one hand with a relaxed look on his face, she had already broken out in a thin layer of sweat.

"Junior sister, how about I help you get it? It only costs eight taels of silver. Would you consider it?"

She glanced at her unhappily and retorted, "It's better to put this money in the bank than to give it to you. I'd better take it myself. Fortunately, you, a black-hearted businessman, are not going out to do business, otherwise you will be chased and beaten sooner or later."

"I, your senior brother, am handsome and elegant. There is no way I will end up getting beaten up."

During the time Xue Zhiyu had been with Ming Zhi, she felt more and more that he was such a narcissistic person.

Mo Chenru seemed to have gotten used to it. He just listened silently and didn't intend to interrupt. On the contrary, Nangong Ye found it quite interesting.

He walked over and stretched out his empty hand towards Xue Zhiyu. His long fingers had distinct joints, which made her think of how suitable these hands would be for playing the piano.

"No need, I'll get it for my junior sister," Mingzhi said as he snatched the jar from Xue Zhiyu's arms, but his eyes were fixed on Nangong Ye, as if he was a suspicious person.

Nangong Ye smiled but didn't say anything. He just said lightly, "As expected of a disciple of a genius doctor, your strength is indeed comparable to Pang Hai's."

As soon as she finished saying this, Xue Zhiyu almost laughed out loud, and even Mo Chenru, who had been silent on the side, smiled a little more.

Mingzhi's expression at this moment can be said to be very interesting. He was so angry that he wanted to knock this man down with a needle.

Everyone in Zhaoyuan City knows that Pang Hai specializes in rough labor. He has brute strength but can only do heavy work to survive.

After Nangong Ye left, Mingzhi gnashed his teeth and approached Xue Zhiyu and said, "This kind of man is not worth having. He is either a traitor or a thief. Junior sister, you must be on guard and don't be fooled by him."

"Don't worry, I, your junior sister, have very high standards and will not be easily deceived."

Xue Zhiyu's shocking words just now refreshed her understanding of Nangong Ye.

It seems that this person is the type who can scare people without making any noise, which is quite interesting.
