East Palace.

"Your Highness, news just came from the Imperial Study that Xie Beiheng fell into the Lancang River and his whereabouts are still unknown!" Qing Xiao reported quickly with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Li Chengrui's handsome face was filled with disbelief. He asked anxiously, "How could this be? Why did Qizhi fall into the Lancang River?"

The Lancang River is winding and has turbulent waves. If you fall into the river, how can you survive?

Qing Xiao's face was heavy as he shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I heard that it was a frame-up by the Beirong people, but the actual situation is still under investigation!"

He was also very shocked when the informant from the Imperial Study came to report just now. The matter was of great importance, so he had to wake up His Highness immediately and report the matter!

Another Beirong person?

When Li Chengrui heard that it was related to the Beirong people, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes!

After pondering for a moment, he ordered in a deep voice: "Qing Xiao, you must immediately lead people to find Qi Zhi's whereabouts. Remember, you must conceal your identity!"

"He fell into the Lancang River, his life or death is uncertain. Now everyone is sure that whoever can find him will have the hope of receiving support from the Zhenbei Marquisate. If the East Palace openly searches for him now, it may be suspected of forming a clique. We must not let Father know!"

"If my eldest and second brothers get the news, they will definitely send people to look for him immediately. You must set off immediately and find him before they do!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Xiao immediately clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will set off immediately!"

The news from the palace spread quickly to the Prince of Qi's Mansion and the Prince of Rui's Mansion as if it had wings.

"bang bang bang"

A sudden, loud knock on the door interrupted the long-lasting panting and groaning sounds in the room.

"bang bang bang"

Dong Mingquan stood at the door with an anxious look on his face. Seeing that the prince was not coming out for a long time, he knocked on the door again!

After a while...

Prince Qi Li Chengyan came out wearing a loose robe, his face gloomy and he frowned at the person in front of him and asked impatiently:

"Sir, what urgent matter is there that requires you to come to me at this time?"

Dong Mingquan looked at Li Chengyan's extremely dissatisfied expression, suppressed his unhappiness, and quickly said, "Your Highness, news has come from the palace that the son of the Zhenbei Marquis fell into the Lancang River this afternoon, and his life or death is still unknown!"

Hearing this, Li Chengyan's originally gloomy face instantly brightened up, and he asked excitedly: "Is this true?"

The Prince of Qi's Mansion had previously shown goodwill to the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion many times, but Xie Qinchuan and his son remained indifferent.

This is a godsend opportunity. If we can find Xie Beiheng now and save him from danger, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will surely be able to be used by my Qi Wang Mansion in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Chengyan became more and more excited, his eyes shining and his face full of joy.

Dong Mingquan, however, was not so optimistic. He frowned and said anxiously, "Your Highness, half an hour ago, three groups of troops left the city gate overnight."

"I suspect that among them are the Crown Prince and Prince Rui's men. They must have known about this, so they sent people out of the city overnight to search for Xie Beiheng."

"Your Highness, there is no time to lose. We must send people there immediately. Whether he is dead or alive, we must find Xie Beiheng before they do!"

After hearing this, Li Chengyan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, sir, you are absolutely right! I will send someone to set off immediately!"

We can’t let the second and third children get the upper hand!

That night, four teams of people from the capital city left the city gate one after another. Under the cover of darkness, they galloped their horses at full speed and headed south.

……

In the mountain forest in the early morning, a thin mist permeates the air, as if covered with a layer of gauze. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches, forming golden mottled light and shadows!

Lin Xiangxiang slowly woke up to the sound of cheerful birdsong!

At this moment, she was looking at the thatched roof above her head with sleepy eyes, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

As my vision became clearer, my memories slowly returned...

"Ah! Xie Beiheng?"

Xie Beiheng is still running a fever!

Lin Xiangxiang was anxious and sat up suddenly...

"Hi~"

Oh my god, this hurts too much!

Lin Xiangxiang felt as if all the muscles and bones in her body were hit hard by a hammer, one by one, piece by piece. The pain was so severe that she wanted to curse!

"Fuck! I've never felt so sour in my life!"

His face was grimacing in pain, but he endured the pain and quickly moved to Xie Beiheng's side, observing his condition worriedly.

His complexion seemed to be better than yesterday, and his breathing was much smoother than yesterday. Lin Xiangxiang felt a little relieved!

Raise your hand and gently place it on Xie Beiheng's forehead...

"Damn it! I'm still running a fever!"

"Oh my God, can't you be more generous? Stop being jealous of him!"

I've been having a fever all night. If it continues, I'll really go crazy. If the inflammation doesn't go away, the fever won't go away either.

No, no! We have to find some herbs first!

Lin Xiangxiang endured the pain and struggled to stand up.

"Oh my god, that really hurts!"

Accompanied by a low curse, Lin Xiangxiang, holding the black iron pot in her hand, walked towards the door step by step with difficulty.

The light in the woods in the early morning was obviously much brighter than in the evening. Lin Xiangxiang was walking through the woods, and she was not as scared as she was yesterday!

Both Andrographis paniculata and Honeysuckle like to grow in a humid environment. Lin Xiangxiang had a clear goal and headed straight for the stream.

After searching for about half an hour, Lin Xiangxiang was already sweating and exhausted, but she didn't see a single Andrographis paniculata or Honeysuckle, not even one!

Just as she was panting with exhaustion, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, shocking her heart: "Damn, Qianjiang County is located in the subtropics. These two herbs can't only grow in the subtropics, right?"

What kind of climate does Dayue have?

Who knew? Oh my god, this is outrageous!

Oh, God, please open your eyes! I am only holding on with one breath, please don’t torture me anymore. If you can’t find me, not only Xie Beiheng will die, I will die too!

Her whole body ached unbearably, and she felt thirsty, hungry, and tired. Lin Xiangxiang even felt dizzy!

But when she thought of Xie Beiheng, she held her breath, gritted her teeth, and continued to move forward along the stream with difficulty. She widened her eyes, fearing that she would miss a Andrographis paniculata or Honeysuckle!

Until she reached the river where she and Xie Beiheng had first come down, exhausted, and suddenly, her eyes lit up!

A honeysuckle was actually growing in the bushes that she had passed through several times before!

Lin Xiangxiang was so excited that she almost cried. So, is it true that the best things are always at the very beginning?

Regardless of her exhausted body and legs that felt as heavy as lead, Lin Xiangxiang walked over quickly with a happy smile on her face.

In the morning sunshine, the leaves of honeysuckle are densely clustered together, and the blooming flowers are like stars, crystal clear and exuding a faint fragrance.

Lin Xiangxiang was thinking about Xie Beiheng, and her hands moved faster unconsciously. She picked handfuls of honeysuckle quickly and deftly and threw them all into the pot until she had picked all the flowers on the honeysuckle plant. She had a full harvest and then she walked back quickly and contentedly!

Instead of going back to the cabin directly, she went back to the stream first, intending to wash the honeysuckle and then fill it with water to boil.

Lin Xiangxiang squatted by the stream, her eyes swept across the water, and suddenly, her eyes flashed with surprise!

"Wow! Wow! Wow~"

So many fish!

There were many fish swimming in the clear stream, but the light was dim and she was anxious yesterday, so she didn’t even see any of them!

However, the fish in the water are not big, the largest one is only the size of her palm, but there are a lot of them, densely packed, which makes people very excited just looking at them.

Lin Xiangxiang licked her saliva and touched her hungry stomach, "Oh, what a pity!"

The last time she caught fish was ten years ago. Asking her to catch fish with her bare hands now is simply a fantasy!
