Chapter 19 The Unopenable Purple Gold Sandalwood Box

It's just that there was a small accident in the middle.

He originally thought that the only people left in the Shen family were a group of women and children who were powerless, and he was worried about how to protect them.

But unexpectedly, Shen Qingge showed up!

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows playfully, and Shen Qingge's eyebrows appeared in front of him.

The girl was not absolutely beautiful, but she had a heroic look between her eyebrows and eyes, and her gaze was deep and resolute. She was not as weak and charming as other daughters of officials, but she had a unique charm.

Shen Qingge, "Feng Yi beats the drum, Nuwa sings", a good name, quite interesting!

This is very different from the image of the legitimate daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion as described by others.

The world only knew that the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping was ordinary in appearance, dressed crudely, and had a willful and capricious personality. She had no demeanor of a lady from an aristocratic family, and she was shameless and even tried to flirt with the King of Qin...

The more Xiao Heng thought about it, the more the corners of his mouth rose slightly. It was really interesting. He wanted to know more about this woman!

It's late at night and the dew is heavy.

Shen Qingge, who was half asleep, slowly opened her eyes. The next moment, she jumped up from the ground and hurried to take her sister-in-law Wang Lan's place to rest.

Little did she know that in a tent not far away, someone had already looked her up and down, inside and out.

After his sister-in-law fell asleep, Shen Qingge took out the water bag from his waist and drank half of the remaining spiritual spring water in one breath.

In an instant, she felt refreshed and all the fatigue in her body disappeared.

She glanced around vigilantly. Everyone was fast asleep. There was complete silence all around, with only the occasional snoring, teeth grinding, and talking in sleep breaking the beauty of the silent night.

But she was still worried, and looked into the dark forest again, but all she saw were swaying shadows of trees.

After making sure that no one was watching her, she let down her guard and sat down.

The quiet night is more suitable for clear thinking.

She suddenly remembered that when she was about to fall asleep, she felt that King Qin Xiao Mo had lost something very important.

Yes, what is it?

What is so important!

She stood up quickly and planned to go into the jade pendant space to take a look.

After making sure that no one was awake, she slipped into the space.

After entering the space, she went straight to the first floor where items were stored and searched for items in the Qin King's treasury according to classification.

Gold, silver, jade, porcelain, banknotes...

Suddenly, a carved rosewood box caught her attention.

This box is small and exquisite, and has an ingeniously designed mortise and tenon structure. It must contain valuable items.

She picked up the box, shook it gently with her hand, and put it to her ear to listen. It seemed like there was a sound of a copper spoon shaking inside, but it didn't sound very clear.

Then she stared at the complicated mortise and tenon structure in a trance.

How to open it?

This box is so ingeniously designed that it cannot be opened by brute force, as it might trigger the mechanism.

Shen Qingge suddenly felt worried...

Then she took the box in her hands, turned it over and over for a long time, racking her brains!

But in the end, it still can’t be opened!

She could only sigh. It was all she needed to know how important this thing was. She believed that one day, by chance, she would be able to open it! Time was limited, and she couldn't dwell too much on a trivial matter.

So, she put the precious rosewood box back to its original place, patted it twice, and muttered, "I will definitely open you!"

After saying this, she walked towards the courtyard with a somewhat disappointed look on her face.

She decided to fill her stomach to relieve her slightly depressed mood.

She walked quickly to the cellar next to the well, went in and ate voraciously, then leaned against the well and drank the spiritual spring water until her stomach was bloated.

After eating and drinking his fill, Shen Qingge's anxiety and unwillingness finally subsided.

At this moment, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She immediately lowered her head and found that there was a red circle where the anklet was tied.

An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she stood up and walked towards the flower field, wondering if she could find some herbs to reduce the swelling.

Shen Qingge searched carefully around this flower field filled with precious medicinal herbs until she finally found a plant of horsetail herb in an inconspicuous corner. Surprised, she plucked it off, crushed it, and applied a small amount to her ankle. An instant cool sensation washed over her, and the redness and swelling gradually subsided.

This herb, about three feet long, grows in sections, with its head and tail shaped like a horsetail, hence its name. It's very effective in dispelling wind and dampness, and relaxing the meridians and activating the collaterals. My father often used it to treat injuries from falls.

Perhaps it was because of the spiritual energy nourishing this space, but the effect of the horsetail grass was doubled. Within half an incense stick of time, the redness and swelling on her ankles were gone, her skin was smooth, and she felt no pain.

What surprised her even more was that another horsetail grass sprouted up in the place where she had just pulled out the horsetail grass.

It's so magical!

But she didn't have time to think about it because she was worried that her grandmother and sisters-in-law's ankle problems might be more serious.

So, she slipped out of the space and found that everyone's ankles were red and swollen, especially those of her grandmother and second sister-in-law, who had a large circle of blisters. The blisters were swollen, crystal clear, and burst at the slightest touch.

She thought to herself, these blisters are the most painful. Grandmother and second sister-in-law didn't say a word. If left untreated, they will surely burst, pus will flow, rot, and form black scabs...

She shook her head, sighed softly, and then, using the moonlight, carefully applied the remaining herbs to the ankles of her grandmother and several sisters-in-law. Her movements were extremely gentle, for fear of waking them up.

After the massage, it was already dawn. She helped everyone pack their bags, then leaned on a big rock behind her to take a nap, closed her eyes, and waited for everyone to wake up.

As the sky began to turn pale, the tired people were awakened from their sleep by the urging voices of the officials and the loud sound of whips.

Although everyone was still sleepy, they had to get up immediately, cursing, packing up their belongings and getting ready to set off.

"Hurry up! I'll give you half an incense stick of time, otherwise, my whip won't have eyes!"

The officers raised the whips in their hands and shouted loudly.

The Shen family, young and old, all got up at this time, but compared to the exhausted looks of others, they were full of energy.

At the same time, the sisters-in-law were delighted to find that Shen Qingge had already packed their bags for them. They only needed to simply pack up their clothes and they could be on their way.

After taking a few steps, second sister-in-law Ye Yurou looked at Shen Qingge with gratitude again. She found that her ankle was covered with herbs, and it no longer hurt or swollen, and even the blisters had subsided. It must be the masterpiece of her good sister.

Shen Qingge just smiled and said that he was very lucky. He found a few plants of horsetail grass that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis in the grass nearby, so he quickly applied them to everyone.

Following the officer's order, the exile team set off.

Today, their destination is the official post station on the outskirts of the city.
