Li Ziru and Yazhi arrived early in the morning.

Shu He gave Li Ziru a few instructions, and then asked him to take Yazhi back to get the medicine.

In fact, Shu He had left the recipes for the pills he made in the later period to Yu Su, asking him to be responsible for refining the pills. After he learned it, Shu He asked him to burn the recipes to prevent them from being exposed.

The main reason for letting Yazhi go back this time was to let Yu Su and Li Ziru check in the Shanwai Valley to see if anyone had smuggled herbs out of the valley to sell.

In the past six months, because Shu He had previously cooperated with Beidi, he did not open up new paths for Shanwai Valley.

Those who can leave the valley outside the mountain all have Shuhe's special beast-avoiding incense in their hands. Only by holding the beast-avoiding incense can ordinary people travel freely in the Mountain Range of Beasts.

The mother-child poison she was infected with contained two herbs: one is Tripterygium wilfordii and the other is Acanthus guanyin.

These two medicines can cure diseases if used properly, but if the dosage exceeds the safe range or is directly ground into powder and used, it will damage the nerves.

The antidote for Tripterygium wilfordii is a herb called "Zhu Ma Zi," but this herb can also increase the toxicity of Acanthus guanyin. Therefore, the person who created the mother-child poison must have exploited the connection between these three drugs to create this unique poison.

Thunder god vine and pearl maize seed grow together and can only grow in the climatic conditions of the valley outside the mountains. It is difficult to see them outside.

Therefore, she guessed that the original medicine of this mother-child poison should have flowed out from the valley outside the mountain.

She has always prohibited the sale of poisons from Shanwai Valley. Thunder God Vine and Pearl Mazi are not on her list of products for sale, which means that someone has smuggled the herbs out to sell.

This matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise, Shanwai Valley is likely to bring disaster upon itself because of such greedy people.

Besides this matter, the business with the owner of Zhenyao Pavilion will also start in large quantities. Transporting large quantities of ore on the ridge road is very dangerous and difficult.

If we want to transport not only minerals and jade, but also fir trees, those large goods in large quantities, we must build a safe road.

Baili Moqing handed this matter over to Sun Guimen, who had previously developed the elevator.

Although the vertical elevator was not used in the Mangshan Canyon, this invention still made the military industrial construction of Beisha City much more convenient and advanced.

At this time, this thing has begun to be used in major armies in the east, south, west and north.

Shu He felt that if they could even build an elevator, then it should not be difficult for Sun Guimen to open a secret hidden passage under the ridge road.

The journey from Beisha City to Kyoto is long. If it was just Li Ziru, they might be able to ride as fast as they can, but with Yazhi, who doesn't know any martial arts, it's uncertain when they can return.

"Without those two medicines, your eyes..."

Baili Moqing collected the bowl she had finished eating, a look of worry on his face.

"It's okay. The toxins in my body have been eliminated. I just can't see clearly."

The sky darkened, and Shu He leaned tiredly against the soft cushion. "I heard that the emperor was very angry yesterday. These days, the Eighth and Ninth Brothers should be more obedient, right?"

Baili Moqing hummed, "Your poison has greatly angered Father and frightened us."

Shu He smiled faintly. The emperor was angry not because she was poisoned, but because he sensed the crisis from the eighth and ninth brothers.

Baili Moqing tidied up her hair and said softly, "You've met so many people today. You must be tired, right?"

"Don't worry about anything else. Just take a rest. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry!"

Shu He nodded. She was indeed a little tired after meeting so many people who were worried about her and comforting them.

-------------------------------------

On this day, the whole capital was filled with laughter and joy. Every household hung red silk and decorated the houses with lanterns and colorful lights. The sunlight shone through, covering the street walls with a layer of auspicious golden gauze.

The streets were crowded with people, all smiling and laughing. They gathered in groups of three or four, laughing and talking about the grand scene of the day.

Just after the hour of Mao, the palace was already bustling with people inside and outside.

Servants and maids were running around, holding freshly picked flowers still covered with morning dew, filling every corner of the palace with their rich fragrance. The carved doors and windows were all wrapped in red, and in the soft breeze, the red silk danced like fire.

In front of the palace gate, two majestic stone lions are also covered with red decorations, and brand new red hydrangeas are swaying beside them, which makes people see a bit of joy in their naive appearance.

In the square in front of the gate, dozens of musicians lined up, and the gongs, drums, and cymbals shone with a cool yet warm light in the morning light, ready to play the joyful music at the command.

"The God of War Prince is getting married!"

"The God of War Prince and the First Female General of Apocalypse are getting married!!"

Two children in the crowd outside the square shouted, and then a tall man in a black crown and robes walked out of the palace.

Dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread coiled around his body, and a golden jade crown held up his hair in a high bun. His jade-like noble temperament made him exude a mysterious aura that was both distant and approachable.

"Congratulations, Prince Li!"

"Congratulations, Prince Li!"

He has appeared, and thunderous congratulations are heard outside the street.

He turned around and thanked those people.

The main streets of the nine surrounding blocks, from Anrenfang to Pingkangfang, were crowded with people from Kyoto who came to watch the excitement. The windowsills of the pavilions facing the street were also booked by dignitaries, just to catch a glimpse of the style and pomp of Prince Li's wedding.

Baili Moqing walked to the front of the team and jumped onto the back of a tall black horse.

Behind him followed twenty wedding riders, including Jiang Dongping, Zhenli, Beiji, Nanqi and Xizhu. They were all dressed in crimson brocade clothes and looked very heroic.

Behind the steeds, a sedan chair carried by eighteen people resembled a moving palace of fantasy. The carriage was painted with lifelike gilded dragons and phoenixes, each depicting a soaring figure. The dangling necklaces and tassels were strung with the finest pearls and gemstones. Their slightest swaying shone a dazzling brilliance, blinding passersby.

"set off!"

At a command, the wedding band in front of the door burst into thunderous joy, as if to set the entire sky of Kyoto on fire.

It has been a long time since the people of Kyoto saw Prince Qinli Baili Moqing in such an inspiring scene.

The last time I saw him riding a horse in a parade was five years ago when he returned from a great victory over the Northern Di.

At that time, his face was cold and his whole body was filled with the murderous aura of a warrior galloping on the battlefield; his stern facial features were shocking, but they exuded an incomparable sense of awe.

But he is different today!

His face was flushed, and the smile on his face was like the scorching sun in winter. His peaceful glance had no murderous aura, but was rather graceful and melodious.

At this moment, it seemed as if he was not a general or a prince, but an ordinary, happy young man who was about to marry his beloved.

-------------------------------------

In Anrenfang, the Kaiyuan General's Mansion is just as lively as Prince Li's Mansion.

The three siblings Liu Rufeng, Liu Ruyu and Liu Ruzhu were busy running back and forth in the general's mansion.

One was counting Shu He's wedding trousseau, and the other was arranging for the servants and maids to quickly decorate the place, welcome guests, and other matters.

Finally, the three of them gathered all the relatives and friends of the Liu family and told them how to "find a new son-in-law"!

"I'll remember everything later. The couplets and the makeup poems. Everything will be arranged!"

"If one poem isn't enough, then two. If two isn't enough, then five! Anyone who embarrasses Prince Zhuli will be handsomely rewarded by the Liu family!"

Liu Rufeng was like a happy rabbit, with a smiling face and rubbing his hands together, looking like he would not let go until he bit someone.

Liu Ruyu stood nearby. Although she was also very happy, she still had some sense. "Boss, if you do this, aren't you afraid that the prince will come to you later and cause trouble?"

Liu Rufeng waved his hand, "Today is special, no! This is a wedding gift. If we don't do this, how can we show how much our Liu family values our new son-in-law?"

"Besides, the prince is so talented and proficient in both civil and military affairs. How can such a small thing stump him? Don't worry about it!"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at him and looked at Liu Ruzhu, "Third Brother, where are Miss Zhang and Miss Yi? We have to make them give the prince a hard time later. We can't let him marry our cousin off so easily!"

It was noisy here, but the main hall in the middle courtyard was much quieter.

In the courtyard, apart from the sound of people coming and going, there are also sporadic cicada chirping and clear bird calls.

The two elders, Madam Liu and Tan Xuan, were dressing Shu He in the master bedroom behind the main hall.

She wears a Zhai robe embroidered with colorful Zhai birds, some spreading their wings as if about to fly, others looking back. Various small floral patterns are interspersed among the Zhai birds, adding a touch of softness and beauty to the lively Zhai birds.

She sat in front of the dressing table, her delicate face looking extremely gentle and elegant because of the soft light from the bronze mirror.

Her long hair was tied up by Old Madam Liu herself, and her delicate face like a flower made her feel as if she was seeing the day when Liu Jinghuang got married.

That day, she also dressed up like this. Looking back at her, there was no joy of getting married in her eyes, only worry about the future of their family.

Old Madam Liu looked at Shu He in the bronze mirror. There was joy on her face, but her eyes, as clear as autumn water, lacked the shyness and nervousness of a girl getting married.

"Child, you, do you still have any concerns? But you don't want to get married?"

The joy in her heart faded a little, and worry appeared in her eyes. She was afraid that she would be like her mother, marrying the wrong person and missing out on her life.

After hearing this, Shu He was slightly stunned, with confusion in his eyes.

Without waiting for her to speak, Madam Liu said, "If you don't want to get married, we can disobey even the imperial decree!"

"Your mother married the wrong person... If we had insisted on keeping her by our side..."

"Grandma!" Shu He turned around and held Madam Liu's hand.

She had little kinship with the Shu family and had been removed from the Shu family's genealogy and included in the Liu family's genealogy. Therefore, a few days ago, she officially changed the way she addressed Liu Kun and his wife.
