Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

"Everyone, we must think of a way to get more herbs back! Now, the prescription has been successfully developed, but the herbs are facing depletion. How should we deal with this situation?" A wealthy businessman from Lingcheng said worriedly.

"Mr. Li is absolutely right. We should all work together to collect herbs and never let our previous efforts go to waste!" Many gentry nodded in agreement.

Yun Yuxi nodded with satisfaction, and then cast her eyes on the officials of all ranks in Lingcheng. In the end, under her sharp gaze, those officials could not bear such pressure after all, and they also expressed that they would try their best to collect herbs.

However, Yun Yuxi knew very well that these were just a drop in the bucket. At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder: I don't know if Chen Jingshan can successfully obtain assistance from the Feng family... Thinking of this, Yun Yuxi carefully checked the conditions of the patients while falling into deep thought.

At this moment, I heard Lingyi beside me whispering softly: "Princess, the people sent by the prince have arrived, and they have brought many carriages. It looks like the prince has specially arranged for the Wangsheng Tower to come to reinforce you, princess. I have to say, the prince really cares about you and has good intentions!" There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"What did you say just now? The prince sent someone?" Yun Yuxi was shocked when she heard this and asked in disbelief.

Ling nodded in response, then turned and led in a man dressed in black and wearing a fox mask on his face.

"Greetings, Lord Qinggu. The princess is inside." Then Lingyi quietly guarded outside the door.

"Greetings, Her Majesty. I am late. Please forgive me." The man wearing a fox mask bowed and said.

"How is the prince?" Yun Yuxi asked with a nod.

Jing Zichu, who was wearing a fox mask, wanted to play a trick on him, so he spoke in an exaggerated manner.

"My dear Princess, ever since you left, the prince has lost his appetite and has been listless all day long. If it weren't for the treatment of Doctor Xi, his condition would have become even more serious. The prince often sits alone in his wheelchair, staring blankly at the Nuan Yu Pavilion where the princess is."

Yun Yuxi stared at Qing Gu with suspicion, wondering in her heart: "Could it be that she saw through me? Impossible! I was obviously wearing a mask. It shouldn't be so easy for sister-in-law to recognize me. Hehe, in that case, then I'll tease sister-in-law again, hahahaha." Thinking of this, Jing Zichu was secretly delighted, and he became more and more complacent, and his words became more and more exaggerated.

He shouted in a passionate voice, "Princess, please do not doubt it. The prince has really taken great pains! In order to assist you, he even mobilized the power of the Rebirth Tower. You know, if His Majesty knew that the Rebirth Tower belonged to the prince, he would definitely punish him severely, and even the whole family might be executed! The prince is really too miserable. Oh, princess, look at how much the prince cares about you!"

Yun Yuxi stared at Qing Gu who was trying his best to perform, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, and responded softly: "The prince naturally loves me. Unlike some people, they can only watch others show their affection while they can only stare blankly." After that, she took advantage of Jing Zichu's unpreparedness and quickly reached out to tear off the mask.

In an instant, Jing Zichu felt a chill on his face, and then he met Yun Yuxi's big eyes, which were flickering, flashing with cunning light and seemed to be smiling.

"Sister-in-law, please listen to my explanation. I...I..." Jing Zichu was panicked and incoherent. Before he could finish his words, Yun Yuxi had already attacked with fierce moves, coming straight towards him.

"Zichu! I have sent Chen Jingshan to Nantong City to ask the Feng family for help. If the Feng family can lend a helping hand, then this plague will surely be defeated. But right now, the herbs you brought are only enough to last for three days. After three days, even if we find substitutes, it may be difficult to sustain!" Yun Yuxi said with a worried look on her face.

"Sister-in-law, please rest assured. The Feng family will fully support us." Jing Zichu described in detail the close relationship between Feng San and Yan Wuque.

Hearing this, Yun Yuxi's originally frowned brows finally relaxed, and she began to discuss the follow-up matters with Jing Zichu.

"Sister-in-law, according to reliable information, the medicinal herbs in the towns around Lingcheng were deliberately bought up by others for some unknown reason. The people we sent out have not yet found out who is behind this. This shows that this person is scheming and has sophisticated means, and he must not be underestimated. Therefore, I plan to send someone to pick up my third brother immediately, for I am afraid that his journey will not be smooth sailing and he will definitely encounter many twists and turns along the way!" Jing Zichu said anxiously.

Yun Yuxi nodded and said, "I'm afraid you can't show up. Let Lingyi handle this matter. I'm afraid someone will find out your identity, and then your family will be implicated and suffer." Jing Zichu nodded and admired in his heart, "She is worthy of being the woman that eldest brother likes. She is indeed brave and resourceful."

Soon, Lingyi and the brothers from Wangsheng Tower, who were dressed simply, quickly headed towards Nantong City to meet Chen Jingshan.

Under Yun Yuxi's skillful makeup, Jing Zichu turned into a middle-aged uncle and followed Yun Yuxi as a personal guard.

"Princess, Li Musheng is here, escorting food," Yuelan said softly.

"Li Musheng? Who is Li Musheng?" Yun Yuxi asked in confusion.

"Princess, this Li Musheng is the third in command of Black Wind Ridge," Yue Lan responded.

"Look, I was so busy that I forgot. I can't even remember it for a moment. Quickly ask Li Musheng to call me." Yuelan turned around and left quickly.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you conquered Black Wind Ridge. Is this true?" asked Jing Zichu, who was dressed as a middle-aged uncle.

So Yun Yuxi quickly recounted what happened in Black Wind Ridge, but did not mention a word about the dangers they encountered. Jing Zichu said with even more admiration, "Sister-in-law, you are indeed sister-in-law. With your help, big brother will no longer fight alone."

"Don't worry, when we return from Lingcheng, the ice silkworm should be almost awake, and then we can treat the prince," Yun Yuxi said with a smile, her eyes full of confidence and determination.

"Princess, I'm here. I've delivered food, but it's strange that it seems like the food in the nearby towns was deliberately taken away. I had to convince a grain merchant to get these." After saying this, Li Musheng lowered his head, looking a little frustrated.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm afraid that someone is trying to sabotage you. You've done very well. Go and have a rest first. Later you will investigate the grain matter openly and secretly. If you find any clues, come back immediately and don't alert the enemy," Yun Yuxi said solemnly.

Li Musheng saw the people looking at him with gratitude, and he suddenly felt proud. One of the people said loudly, "Sir, you are a hero. Thank you for taking the trouble to deliver food to the people of Lingcheng." Li Musheng smiled and humbly helped the old man up. He finally understood why his second and eldest brothers wanted to follow the princess.
