"After all, there are differences between the high and the low, so I will call myself a commoner from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge nodded gracefully. The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became more naturally harmonious than before.

But for some reason, the next moment, Xiao Heng's face was filled with gloom again. He wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he found it difficult to speak.

Shen Qingge noticed his awkwardness and was the first to break the silence: "Your Highness, is there something important you want to tell me?"

"That's all!"

Xiao Heng took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and then he spoke slightly faster, saying:

"My personal bodyguard, Yun Yi, I believe you already know him!"

"Yeah!" Shen Qingge nodded in understanding.

"Two days ago, when Yun Yi was investigating, he heard that Wang Gui and his men had obtained a sinister poison from the Western Regions—Fire Tree and Flourishing Flowers—and they were planning to use it against you!"

"Oh, this name sounds quite unique!" Shen Qingge was still so calm.

"It's just that... this medicine is different from others!"

When Xiao Heng said this, his face flushed and he looked a little shy, which made Shen Qingge very confused.

"This medicine, um... this medicine is extremely potent. It's both an aphrodisiac that can cause people to lose their minds and desires, and a truth serum that can make people tell the truth.

And… and, if someone doesn't harmonize their yin and yang with someone else within half an hour of taking it, ahem, that's what we call sexual intercourse, then… they will explode and die!"

After finally finishing speaking, Xiao Heng let out a long sigh, immediately picked up the teacup, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and drank it slowly.

At this time, the candlelight in the tent was swaying and flickering, adding a touch of subtle charm.

Now, it was Shen Qingge's turn to be reserved. She understood what Xiao Heng meant and also knew why he was shy just now.

To ease the embarrassment, she fluttered her eyelashes, looked away, and remained silent.

Xiao Heng, who had just had some cold tea, was now more composed and continued with the unfinished topic:

"This medicine has another insidious toxicity. It dissolves in water and becomes colorless and odorless, making it extremely difficult to find.

I only heard that this medicine was kept in a blue-glazed porcelain bottle, but I don't know who has it now. You must be extremely cautious!

"Not only do I need to be cautious, but the prince must be careful too. Times are different now. We are all on the same boat, and they want to get rid of us as soon as possible!"

Shen Qingge, who had come to his senses, also reminded solemnly.

"However, I still want to thank you, Your Highness, for your reminder! As an ally, I will definitely find the 'Fiery Tree and Flourishing Flowers' and let Your Highness see what I am capable of!

This is the first thing we need to accomplish after forming an alliance. Your Majesty, please wait for my good news!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and threw the water bag to Xiao Heng again: "Oh, by the way! Your Highness, remember to drink the snow grass water in the water bag. See you later!"

In an instant, Shen Qingge disappeared from the tent without a trace.

Xiao Heng, who stayed in the tent, immediately fell into deep thought. He would wait and see what kind of surprise Shen Qingge would bring him!

Yun Yi came in at this time. He saw that they had been chatting in the tent for a long time, so he rushed in on his own initiative.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the owner sitting there with a dazed look on his face, a half-smile on his lips. He was suddenly confused.

Could it be that Shen Qingge did something bad to his master while he was away?

Thinking of this, Yun Yi became extremely anxious and asked hurriedly, "Master, are you okay?"

Xiao Heng, who was lost in thought, was startled by his voice and glared at him with disdain:

"What could be the problem? Now that you're here, come and help me wash up. I'm tired!"

……

Shen Qingge was also a little stunned when she walked out of the tent. She didn't expect that the seemingly cynical Fifth Prince was actually so innocent. He was really two-faced!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle.

The next moment, she knocked her head again, surprised at why she had such a weird idea. She still had important things to do!

So, she calmed herself down and entered the space.

"Shui Qilin, have you recovered a little in the past two days?"

When the water qilin saw its owner coming in, it wagged its tail and moved closer, losing more and more the aura of a divine beast.

Fortunately, its voice was low, and it was able to save face appropriately: "Master's space is full of spiritual energy. I drank the spiritual spring water and ate some herbs from the flower fields. I have felt much better!"

Shen Qingge was pleased to see that it was in good spirits, so he said:

"Did you hear my conversation with the Fifth Prince just now?"

The water qilin roared as a response.

Then it asked, "So, Master wants me to help you find the 'Fiery Tree and Flourishing Flowers'?"

"Yes, these fiery trees and their blossoms are colorless and odorless, making them difficult to distinguish. You can only rely on your sense of smell as the God of Water!"

The water qilin was delighted by the praise, its dragon scales trembling. It raised its head slightly and said proudly, "It's not difficult. I can tell them apart within ten feet."

"Well, follow me and see how you perform!"

After Shen Qingge finished speaking, he gently touched the water qilin's head and slipped out of the space.

In a moment, she arrived at the place where the officials had set up their tents.

A group of rough men were sleeping soundly, snoring loudly, with their legs spread out in front of them.

The smell of sweat, urine... and some indescribable smells made Shen Qingge frown and almost vomit on the spot.

She glanced around with disgust, locked onto Wang Gui's position, pinched her nose, quickly dodged, and gently stuffed the secret letter into his clothes. The next moment, she arrived at an open space far away from the camp.

Shen Qingge put his hands on his hips, retched a few times, and took several deep breaths before he recovered.

After calming down, she summoned the Water Qilin: "How is it, did you find anything just now?"

"Of course. The medicine bottle is on Ma Si. He has a peculiar odor, exactly like my mortal enemy, the stinky fox. What are you going to do, Master?"

"Of course it's a substitution!"

"I mean, Master, what are you going to do with this medicine?"

"Of course it's left to those who need it!"

After saying this, a sly smile appeared on Shen Qingge's lips.

With the experience just now, Shen Qingge brought a thick triangular face towel when he went to the tent again this time.

She waved her hand and collected everything on Ma Si's body into the space.

What household registration, travel permits, copper coins, underwear, smelly sweat towels...

Among this pile of miscellaneous things, there is also an exquisite and small blue-glazed porcelain bottle.

This should be it!

Shen Qingge picked up the blue-glazed porcelain bottle, carefully took out the pills inside, and put in the clay pills prepared in advance, and everything was done.

Then she waved her hand again, and all the dirty stuff fell on Ma Si.
