The Regent Princess has run away again

Xue Zhiyu frowned. How could this be related to the Second Prince of Yuzhou Kingdom? Moreover, according to her senior brother's description, this person was extremely dangerous and must not be approached.

Xianxian also saw Xue Zhiyu's doubts, and explained with a sigh: "In fact, you don't want to sign a bet with him, but this man is shameless enough to threaten the people of the Western Regions and Lingzhi's life."

"Who is Ling Zhi?"

"She was your personal bodyguard. She disappeared when she went to Yuzhou Country. She was most likely detained by them. Wen Jingxuan is a despicable and shameless villain!"

The more Xuanxuan spoke, the more excited she became, and her ears instantly turned red. She spoke this sentence very fluently. If she had not been rational, she really wanted to take Wen Jingxuan's head.

Xue Zhiyu suddenly remembered that her senior brother had mentioned this matter to her before. It seemed that the person her senior brother was talking about at that time must be Ling Zhi.

"What's the bet?"

"Let all the little bodhis bear non-toxic fruits within ten years. As a condition, he will agree to let Lingzhi return safely and guarantee that Yuzhou Kingdom will never harass the people of the Western Regions."

"But, if we lose, then..." Kanan stopped here and glanced at Xue Zhiyu secretly, as if she was hesitating whether to say it out loud.

Xue Zhiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling that she was having a bad cold.

"He said he wanted to invite the leader to visit Yuzhou Country and ask for advice. He is simply wishful thinking. It is obvious that he wants the leader to admit defeat. The world is so big, how can all the little hope bodhisattvas produce non-toxic fruits!"

Alas, this was really not something she was familiar with. Not to mention that she had never studied crops, even if she had studied it, it would be extremely difficult to make Xiaopan Bodhi bear non-toxic fruit.

Xue Zhiyu rubbed her brows with a headache. When she was about to ask Xiaoqi, she suddenly remembered what Kankan had just said that it was impossible to complete in a short time.

What this means is that there is a way to make Xiaopan Bodhi bear non-toxic fruit.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyu's tone was filled with excitement that could not be concealed, "Xianxian, you just said that it is impossible to make all the Little Hope Bodhisattvas succeed in a short period of time, so does that mean there is a way?"

"Yes, but only the leader knows this. We only heard him mention it. If we want Xiaopan Bodhi to produce non-toxic fruit, we only need to mix the water of the Boundless River with the water of the Styx to remove the toxicity of the fruit."

Xue Zhiyu suddenly felt dizzy. The former was easy to deal with, but the latter, as the name suggests, was definitely not ordinary water.

She held her forehead and smiled bitterly. After all, she didn't think she was the leader, but why did this hard task fall on her?

"Xianxian, you should go back and rest first. I plan to take a walk."

"Master, would you mind if I stayed with you? Baihu and the others have been trying to find a solution in the past few years. You don't have to worry too much."

Xue Zhiyu shook her head, "No, I want to be alone for a while."

Here, You glanced at the two people's position from time to time, but was shocked by the news. Xue Xiang's daughter turned out to be the leader of Mandala? !

But according to his understanding, when the leader of Mandala had not disappeared, Princess Kangle was still in the Xue Mansion, and the age didn't match.

Nangong Ye naturally heard the conversation between the two. He continued to wipe the sword calmly, with a slightly complicated feeling in his heart.

However, this emotion did not last long, like a flash in the pan, his eyes regained their coldness, and he put the black iron sword back into the scabbard.

"Master, do you need to check?"

"Find out the relationship between the two."

"Yes, why don't we let Zhou Ming come and take my place?"

Nangong Ye glanced in the direction of Xue Zhiyu, shook his head and said, "No need, let Zhou Ming continue to keep an eye on the Zhao Mansion."

You followed the order and left the woods. Nangong Ye stood up and patted the dust off his clothes. Without raising his head, he said, "Sir, please show yourself now. Eavesdropping is not what a gentleman does."

"Your Highness, you are joking. I just happened to pass by. How could I eavesdrop?" Mo Chenru walked out from behind a sturdy tree calmly, without any embarrassment of being discovered.

Nangong Ye naturally recognized this man, the youngest medical saint of Qiyue Kingdom and the heir of the Mohist School. Thinking of this, there was a little more understanding in his cold eyes.

But the voice was still cold and stern. The pressure and aura of the superior were enough to make people feel afraid, especially when he looked at them calmly. His deep eyes were like a whirlpool that could easily suck people into an endless black hole.

"I have always admired Master Mo, but I hope that he will be careful with his words and actions. Some words should be kept to oneself and not be told to outsiders."

Mo Chenru could hear the threat in Nangong Ye's words, but he was never afraid of the powerful. He nodded in understanding, and said in a seemingly casual manner, "Of course, Mo is stupid. If I knew that you gentlemen were discussing important matters here, I would definitely not get close to you."

"In this case, I won't disturb Mr. Mo any longer. Goodbye."

Nangong Ye bowed and looked at Mo Chenru meaningfully before leaving. After a few jumps, he disappeared from the woods.

Mo Chenru watched the direction Nangong Ye left and did not move forward. However, he felt a little complicated in his heart. If what he said was true, then the Western Region and Yuzhou would probably be in chaos soon.

He does not think that the other countries can remain unscathed. People's hearts are treacherous, and the leader's ability makes people fearful, but it also makes people with ulterior motives want to use him for their own benefit.

Xue Zhiyu was the only one left here. She entered her own mind and searched through a number of books. She seemed to have some clues. If the leader himself had studied it, Xiao Qi should have left some information.

She found a yellowed scroll in the bookcase, sandwiched between two books and almost ignored.

She stood on tiptoe to pull out the scroll, and when she opened it and saw the contents inside, her facial expression was very rich.

This is indeed Xiao Pan Bodhi's method of changing the species, but this method is as good as nothing. After all, she is not really a leader, so how could she know any magic?

"Xiao Qi, are you here?"

Xiao Qi walked out of the space, still looking sleepy. He yawned and glanced at the scroll in her hand, then shifted his gaze to her front.

"It seems that you have already come into contact with this matter. It is not difficult to change the species of Xiaopan Bodhi. The water of the Styx is at the foot of the Desert Mountain in Qiyue. The water of the Styx will rise to the human world at midnight on the first day of the lunar month. However, it will only last for an incense stick of time before the water of the Styx will no longer exist."

"But remember, the water of the Styx is extremely yin water and cannot be exposed to the sun. The bottled water of the Styx must be buried under the soil when not in use."

Xue Zhiyu nodded, but she had other plans at the moment, so she had to wait until Penang’s universal education was almost ready.

She put the scroll back to its original place, caught 007 and got some secret recipes, and then she withdrew from the consciousness space in her mind with satisfaction.

After she opened her eyes, she turned and walked towards where everyone was gathered. Now she had to race against time.

Kanan squatted on the ground bored, drawing circles on the ground with a branch, and the melancholy in her heart was almost visible on her face.

Mingzhi leaned against the tree trunk, crossed his arms over his chest, raised his eyebrows at Mo Chenru who was walking towards him and said, "Hey, where have you been? Why are you like this?"

Mo Chenru swept the fallen leaves off his head and threw a fruit over. "Shut up. No one will believe you if you say you are the disciple of the number one genius doctor."

Mingzhi took it with one hand, wiped it on his sleeve, took a big bite, and didn't intend to pay attention to him. When he saw Xue Zhiyu out of the corner of his eye, he hurried over.

"Junior sister, come here and have a rest!"

"No need, I just came back from rest and was ready to go, why can't I see You?"

Xue Zhiyu looked around and only saw You Min sitting quietly on the side, but did not see You.

"He went back first for something."

"Is that so? Then let's hurry up and set off while it's still light."

Mo Chenru lowered his eyes, a sneer flashed across his eyes, but that emotion was fleeting. He put his calm and composed expression back on his face and slowly walked over.

Kanan threw down the branch in her hand, stood up and patted her skirt. Seeing that Xue Zhiyu seemed to be in better condition, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

The group resumed their journey and soon arrived near a swamp. An unbearable smell filled the air.

Xue Zhiyu frowned, covered her nose and looked around. On her way here, she found something about the Blood-Sealing Tree in the library.

The trunk of the blood-sealing tree is vermilion in color, and it takes at least seven or eight people to surround it. The two sides of the leaves are also different colors. The place where the sun shines is still green, but the back is a little light purple.

Mingzhi's expression suddenly became very serious. He raised his head and looked around. The dense branches and leaves blocked the view, and the sunlight could hardly shine through the gaps.

"Junior sister, what are you looking for?"

"Seal the Blood Tree, Brother, come with me to look for it."

Mo Chenru pondered for a moment, then walked over and said, "Let me look for it with you. I have seen the Blood Sealing Tree by chance before."

Naturally, Kanan followed Xue Zhiyu subconsciously, leaving Nangong Ye alone. He looked at the people walking forward, thought for a moment, and followed them.

Soon, they found the first blood-sealing tree, and everyone poured the liquid under the tree. The liquid was visibly absorbed by the soil.

"Everyone, please return home immediately after you have emptied the jars of liquid. It is not advisable to stay here for long."

After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she looked at Mingzhi, then quickly packed up with the others and prepared to leave the swamp.

Nangong Ye, who stayed behind, looked behind him thoughtfully, and after a while he followed everyone away.

"Tsk, I was so scared that I thought he could see us. But Ice Face, are you really planning to disappear forever? Aren't you afraid that your beloved disciple will worry?"

The person who spoke was Xuan Ji. He supported his head with one hand, lying lazily and casually on the stone bed beside him. He moved his eyes away from the water mirror and glanced at the man in crescent-colored clothes who was recuperating with his eyes closed.

Hyun Kyung ignored him, slowly opened his eyes, casually looked towards the deep forest on the other side of Shui Jing, and then closed his eyes again.

Xuan Ji didn't say anything else when he saw this. He waved his hand and the water mirror disappeared like a gust of wind. He sat up and walked over with a porcelain bottle in his hand.

"If you don't want to die so soon, remember to take this medicine."

When he was about to leave, Hyun Kyung suddenly said, "Don't get too involved."

Xuanji waved back and responded loudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely go check it out for you. Let's go."

Hyun Kyung frowned at his words, pursed her lips, and ultimately did not say the words.

"Boom!"

A small fruit fell down and landed in front of Xuan Jing. The round fruit rolled several times before it stopped. Its golden color was so eye-catching that one could not take their eyes off it.

“So the result is here.”

After Xuan Ji went out, he followed a few people from a distance. He knew that Nangong Ye was not easy to fool, as this guy was very shrewd.

Nangong Ye was responsible for leading the way, and they soon walked out of the swamp. You was already waiting there, and next to him was Doctor Wei, who looked disdainful.

You waved at them and said, "You're all back just in time. The people of Yuyang County have been sent back."

Xue Zhiyu didn't feel relieved when she heard this. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is anyone else feeling unwell?"

At this time, Doctor Wei turned around and looked at Xue Zhiyu with an increasingly relieved look, "I checked their pulses and everything is fine."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Doctor Wei."

"Your prescription is the best. I never thought that the Prime Minister's daughter would be so outstanding. It's really enviable."

Speaking of her cheap father, Xue Zhiyu almost forgot what he looked like. She didn't know if her mother was okay now, and Xiaoqiu must be worried about her.

"Doctor Wei, you're joking. Fortunately, I have a good master, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."

"A teacher is someone who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts. If you have the chance, I really want to meet your master. He must be a reclusive master," said Doctor Wei, with excitement in his tone that could not be concealed.

You glanced at her silently from the side. The old man was getting crazy again, but he still had important matters to report.

"Okay, Doctor Wei, please let the princess have a good rest. Don't bother her anymore. Don't be afraid of being disliked. Princess, we will see each other again when we have the chance," he said, bowed to Xue Zhiyu, and turned to leave.

Although Doctor Wei scolded You for being rude, he did not say anything else. He nodded to Xue Zhiyu and said, "Princess, we'll see you again when there's a chance," with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Before leaving, Nangong Ye took one last look at Xue Zhiyu, but quickly retracted his gaze and left the official road quickly.

Xue Zhiyu looked at the people who left, and the heavy stone in her heart finally came down. It seemed that she could go back and rest for a while.

"Princess, let's go back and rest too. You've been exhausted these past few days."

Kanan ate each of the small fruits in her hand in one bite. There were not many small fruits left in her arms, so she spat out the core in her mouth and handed over the remaining fruits.

Mo Chenru yawned, rubbed his shoulders and said, "Hurry up, I feel like I'm going to fall asleep as soon as I lie down."

"Okay, let's go back to the inn and rest."

On the other side, Nangong Ye and others returned to Yuyang County. Seeing that the residents there had been settled, they got out of the carriage.

Someone recognized them immediately. One of the old men stroked his beard, walked over shakily with a cane, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Young man, I recognize you. You must be the one who is with Princess Kangle. I never thought that an old man like me could still be alive and well."

Nangong Ye smiled, and he followed the old man's words and said, "The current emperor is also very worried when he heard about this. His Majesty once said that there is no monarch without the people. All the people of Yan country on the land must be protected and safe."

"In that case, if you don't mind the old man's things, I have some freshly laid eggs here. Please wait a moment."

After saying this, the old man, leaning on his cane, shouted towards the door of his house, and a man in a brown short-sleeved shirt came out from the inner room, holding a small basket of more than ten eggs in his hand.

Nangong Ye originally wanted to refuse, but the old man's words made him unable to refute, so he had to accept it.

After hurrying all the way, they finally entered the palace. After Xia Yu learned about it, he tidied his clothes and quickly summoned Nangong Ye.

"My dear minister, you have worked hard. Why don't you take a rest? You will still have time to go to court tomorrow," Xia Yu said as he asked the palace maid to prepare the best tea.

You also handed over the eggs he was holding, and under Xia Yu's puzzled gaze, he briefly summarized what had happened.

Xia Yu then smiled knowingly, put the brush in his hand that he was using to mark memorials back on the Duan inkstone, picked up the teacup beside him to moisten his throat, and lowered his eyelids slightly to cover up the fleeting brilliance.

Nangong Ye was not in a hurry to say anything else. He took the teacup from the palace maid, lifted the lid and sipped the tea carefully.

"How about this tea? This is the finest tea presented by the envoys of Huangyi. It is said that one ounce of this tea is worth a thousand gold coins. Unfortunately, not many people in Huangyi appreciate it, so it can only be sold at a low price, and it is even used as firewood. It is really a pity."

"Well, it tastes sweet. Tea and Pringles are like a thousand-mile horse and a horse trainer. Only a discerning eye can recognize its value. Otherwise, it is so cheap that no one would care about it."

Xia Yu nodded slightly to show her agreement, as if she had thought of something, and a hint of amusement appeared on the corner of her mouth, "What do you think if I take Princess Kangle into the palace as my concubine?"

"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. The matter of taking concubines is not something I can interfere with. Princess Kangle is a decent person, beautiful, and has a distinguished family background. She is indeed worthy of being your Majesty's concubine. However, I believe that Princess Kangle is definitely not an ordinary person and will definitely help your Majesty achieve success."

Nangong Ye's words were flawless and no one could find any fault with them.

"Hahahahahahahaha, I was just kidding. It would be a waste of talent for Princess Kangle to be my concubine."
