The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 106 I am the Princess of Ping'an County

The Luo family's house in Yuzhou City was brightly lit all night long.

Shu Qing, with a stubble on his face, sutured Mu Ai's wound.

His hands were covered in blood, and Mu Ai lay on the bed without saying a word.

Mu Ai was seriously injured. Shu Qing, who had lost his fighting spirit, came back to life the moment he saw Mu Ai.

After working hard for most of the night, they finally bandaged the deputy general's wound.

Luo Xiao took her daughter to bed, so the only people in the room at this time were the busy Shu Qing and Wen Yao who had been helping.

And... two men who have been in constant confrontation.

Mu Lu stared at Chu He all night long. Chu He felt annoyed by his gaze and said, "You can't beat me."

Mu Lu: “…”

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll stare you to death!"

Everyone in the room: "..."

After bandaging Mu Ai's right leg, Shu Qing finally straightened up.

He put away the medicine bag and looked at Mu Ai, who was lying on the bed with a pale face. "Did you know that you have four broken ribs?"

Mu Ai nodded, but even such a small movement caused him to cough violently in pain.

Wen Yao hurriedly handed over some warm water: "You should have a good rest."

A straw was thoughtfully inserted into the tea bowl, and Mu Ai took a few sips of warm water and swallowed it.

Wen Yao used a handkerchief to wipe the water stains from the corners of his mouth.

Mu Ai had never witnessed such tenderness before. He turned away awkwardly and cleared his throat. Then he looked at Doctor Shu and said, "The young lady said the people in the city were poisoned by a poison called the 'evil flower.' We saw it in the mountains. It's incredibly strange! It was placed above the source of the Yu River, and its stamens kept falling into the water, killing the entire city."

"So that's it! It's actually like that!" Shu Qing suddenly realized something. He shouted and walked around the room excitedly. "No wonder I couldn't find the reason!"

"Evil flower! It's actually an evil flower!" he shouted. "That's a poison from the Western Regions! There's almost no record of it in the Central Plains! No wonder I didn't notice it!"

Wen Yao asked, "Now that we know where the poison comes from, is there an antidote?"

Shu Qing stopped.

His face, which had been excited just now, instantly withered. "The only antidote to the 'evil flower' poison is the Moonlight Grass. But it's also a herb from the Western Regions. It would take two months to get it from Yuzhou City and back..." His voice sank as he spoke. "I'm afraid the people in the city won't be able to survive until then."

The room fell silent again.

After a while, Chu He asked, "You said Miss Rong... Miss and Mu Rong fell off the cliff together?"

"The Marquis fell off the cliff to save the eldest lady." Mu Ai added.

"But why did the young lady climb up the cliff?" Chu He asked again.

Mu Ai tried to recall: "She seemed to be picking some small flowers. She was too far away to see clearly, but I knew they were a bright white."

Shu Qing hurried over: "But are they in clusters and clumps? Glowing white in the moonlight?"

Mu Ai shook his head with difficulty: "It's too far, and the young lady was almost done picking them by then, I really don't know."

Shu Qing sighed, "If it's Bright Moon Grass, that would be great!" Chu He thought for a moment and said with certainty, "It must be Bright Moon Grass."

Shu Qing shook his head: "Impossible, Mingyue grass will not grow here."

"If 'evil flowers' can bloom here, why can't Moonlight Grass?" Chu He sneered. "Given the young lady's personality, if she hadn't discovered such a rare herb, why would she not even wait to be notified and risk her life to pick it herself?"

Wen Yao stood up and said, "Then if we find the young lady, we can also find the antidote together?"

Chu He nodded: "I believe her. She will definitely value the medicine more than her life."

The night watchman passed by the courtyard and watched the morning light gradually appear outside the window.

Chu He hung his sword on his waist and said, "You stay where you are. I will go find her."

Mu Ai struggled to get up: "Yushan is very big, and they fell off the cliff. Where can you go to find them alone?"

Mu Lu squeezed over: "Add me, I'll go too!" But...

How good can it be for two people?

At some point, Luo Xiao and her daughter were already standing outside the room. She said, "We are very familiar with Yushan and will go up the mountain with you."

Seeing them all ready to go, Mu Ai said with a wry smile, "That's a mountain range stretching for dozens of miles. If we were alone, I'm afraid it would take us several days and nights to search."

"But...what should we do?" Luo Yuqi clutched her mother's clothes tightly. "It's so cold in the mountains, and the county lady is so frail. She won't be able to survive for long."

Just when everyone was at a loss.

Wen Yao took out a small jade token from his waist and said, "I have a method that might be worth a try."

……

As daybreak dawned, the people of Yuzhou City were already busy trying to make a living. In front of the prefectural yamen, a row of yamen runners listened listlessly as their superiors arranged the day's tasks.

In the past two days, many people in the city fell ill for unknown reasons.

As yamen runners, they naturally had to get busy again.

Patrol the streets and keep an eye on people to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos!

The yamen runners were standing in front of the door, waiting for their turn, when three people came from a distance.

The men on the left and right were tall and slender, each with a long sword at their waist. At first glance, they looked like martial artists.

The person on the right, although dressed simply, has the aura of a superior and should not be underestimated.

Walking among them was a petite and bright girl.

She was wearing a goose yellow cloak, and as she walked along, her dress fluttered in the cold wind.

The bailiffs were stunned.

When they realized that the three people went straight into the government office, they surrounded them with increasing curiosity.

In the main hall of the government office, Yuzhou prefect Wu Mingshi was having breakfast.

He had been very busy these past two days and had barely eaten a proper meal. Today, his family finally brought him some porridge, but he had just opened it when his mood was spoiled.

So he frowned and asked, "Who is trespassing?"

The girl took out the jade token from her waist and said in a clear voice, "I am the Princess of Ping'an County of the Great Zhou Dynasty! I have something to trouble the prefect."

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Wu was about to raise his eyebrows and ask a question, but the legal advisor beside him hurried over and explained in a low voice the identity of Princess Ping'an.

When he heard that she was the fiancée of Marquis Weiyuan, Magistrate Wu quickly put down the soup spoon in his hand and came up with a smile on his face:

"I didn't know the county lady was coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!"

After saying this, he quickly ordered: "Hurry up and show the county lady a seat!"

The girl smiled faintly, "You are too polite, Lord Wu. I have come here today because I really have an important matter to ask for your help." Magistrate Wu hurriedly said, "What can I do for you, County Lady? Please tell me!"

The girl narrated:

"I originally came to Jiangnan to look for someone. I just arrived in Yuzhou yesterday and wanted to rest here. But who knew that my personal maid went into Yushan for some fun and is now nowhere to be found."

"Although she is a maid, she and I have been as close as sisters since childhood. Therefore, I have come to ask the prefect for help in searching for her in Yushan."

The girl who was speaking was Xu Rongrong's personal maid Wen Yao.

What she held in her hand was the county lady's identity jade token.

In order to save her own lady, she had no choice but to dare to impersonate her!

After all, they didn't know the details of the Yuzhou prefect at the moment. If they rashly told him that the young lady was missing, it might cause other trouble.

It would be better for her to impersonate the other party and ask them to do things in the name of the county lady. This way, it would be more convenient.

Sure enough, it was just as she expected.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Wu immediately dispatched two teams of yamen runners to go into the mountains to search for the person!

Wen Yao was left in the government office. If she went into the mountains in person with her current "identity", it would probably arouse suspicion.

She looked towards the distant Yushan Mountain.

Lower your eyes and pray silently.
