"Your Highness, why don't we secretly go back and investigate? This subordinate feels that the figure of the black clothed man is very similar to the Prince Li."

After exiting the Prince Li Palace, a hundred miles away from Xiao Chengzhen, said.

"No need."

"There's no need to spend so much effort. Just follow Gu Gu's instructions and buy all the medicine within a radius of two hundred kilometers. At that time, we'll see what else he can do."

"How is she?"

Inside the Duke Palaces, the moment Xiao Chengzhen left, Xiao Chengyi immediately asked about Mu Qianyu's situation.

"It's fine. I gave her a pill made from Spirit Leaf Grass as a primer. She can last for three to five days. As long as the medicine is here, I can save her."

Nangong Lin's expression was warm and his tone was very gentle as well.

"How could you, Brother of Brotherhood?"

Xiao Chengyi was momentarily shocked, he looked at Nangong Lin and reproached: "That medicinal pill had a total of two pills, and was used to suppress the hot poison in your body. How could you so casually give her one pellet?"

"I have no other choice."

Nangong Lin shook his head helplessly: "You can't really make me give up her life, what's more …"

He slightly smiled, extended his hand and patted Xiao Chengyi's shoulder: "How can you go and request for medicine for my sake? You clearly know who Zheng Ji is attached to, yet you still chose to take the risk.

"You already know about it?"

Xiao Chengyi's expression froze for a moment, as he coldly swept his eyes at the few people within the room and unhappily asked: "Who's the talker?"

His subordinates were actually so blind and had learned to talk too much?

"Your Highness, this subordinate spoke to the Young Master Nangong. Your subordinate knows his wrongs and asks that Your Highness punish me."

Luo Jin knelt on the ground without hesitation.

"Someone, come."

Although they were his trusted aides, Xiao Chengyi had always been strict with his subordinates.

If you talk too much, you should be punished.

"Chengyi."

Nangong Lin reached out to stop him, "Give Brother of Brotherhood face."

Nangong Lin had always understood his stubborn and resolute nature, so he was also quite helpless.

"Brother of Brotherhood?"

Xiao Chengyi frowned slightly.

This Brother of Brotherhood still had a soft heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured like this by the crown prince.

After two hours, Luo Yu rushed back, covered in stars and a full moon.

"My prince, all of the herbs in the city have been bought by the crown prince's men."

Luo Yu went out to buy medicine, and went through several large medicine stores in the city. In the end, all the medicine that they needed was bought first, and only after asking around did he find out that it was the crown prince who sent the people.

"Send someone to buy it outside the city immediately."

Xiao Chengyi's expression was cold, and his tone was extremely cold.

The Crown Prince's movements were not slow at all.

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy them outside the city. I need to go to a far further place in order to obtain more medicinal herbs."

Nangong Lin laughed helplessly, "Based on his character, even if the one injured was not you, he still wanted that person dead."

It was exactly the same as when the Crown Prince had tried to kill him and fed him lethal poison.

When had that person ever shown mercy?

"Send more people, Luo Jin, to buy the medicine."

Since there aren't any in the city, then let's go outside the city.

If you don't already, go to another place outside the city. Left and right Mu Qianyu had already taken the medicine and she could still hold on for a few more days.

He didn't believe that the crown prince would be able to do as he pleased this time.

She suddenly thought of Mu Qianyu's gaze which was filled with hatred.

Xiao Chengyi felt that if Mu Qianyu could survive, her Crown Prince Mansion and life would no longer be a good thing in the future.

Thinking about it, he looked at Nangong Lin and said: "I will definitely think of a way to buy the medicinal ingredients for you, Brother of Brotherhood, in the next few days I will be troubling you."

For three consecutive days, Xiao Chengyi's men were unable to obtain any medicinal ingredients.

Xiao Chengzhen poured almost a third of his Crown Prince Mansion into this, and with the fastest speed possible, he bought all of the medicinal herbs that Xiao Chengyi needed from the surrounding medicine stores.

Actually, he didn't even know who the person who was injured that night was, he only guessed that it was someone from the Prince Li Palace.

To use this blood for an unknown person, it could be seen that Nangong Lin was right, this person was truly vicious.

There was still a day when the medicine in Mu Qianyu's body would completely lose its effect, and would no longer be able to suppress the 'Stomach Severing' in her body.

Nangong Lin, who was usually gentle, could not help but be anxious as he paced around the room.

His gaze finally settled on the blue and white porcelain medicine bottle on the table.

He stopped and walked over to pick up the bottle. He was about to remove the stopper when he was stopped.

"Brother of Brotherhood, if you use this medicine to save her, what about the next time you use this poison?"

Xiao Chengyi pressed his hand on the medicine bottle, a complicated expression on his face.

"The medicine is gone. You can try to find it again, but once your life is gone, there's no saving you."

Nangong Lin shook his head.

"You don't have any relationship with her at all, so why did you save her despite risking your own life?"

Xiao Chengyi did not understand, even though she had blocked a blade for him, he did not feel any waves in his heart.

Why did the Brother of Brotherhood care about her so much?

Although the Brother of Brotherhood had a gentle personality, he was also a person of distinct love and hate. Why would he place so much importance on a woman who barely had any relationship with him?

"I don't know either."

Nangong Lin laughed helplessly: "Perhaps the moment I see her, I remember myself. Her current situation is the same as mine back then, when I was poisoned, she was only this big."

"Even if that is the case, you shouldn't care about your own life. You should know that the Spirit Leaf Grass is extremely hard to find. If you give it to her, if you can't find any new medicine to concoct, wouldn't that mean you're throwing your life away?"

Xiao Chengyi frowned, he was still unwilling to let go.

He couldn't let Nangong Lin mess around.

In his heart, the life of Brother of Brotherhood was naturally much more important than the life of a little girl who had nothing to do with him.

"Why?"

Nangong Lin pushed his hand away and said gently: "Life or death depends on it; from start to finish, I have only been continuing my life. I have been wasting my time, and she might still be able to save me, so I might as well use this medicine on someone who needs it."

"I've got it, I got it, I got it."

Just as the two were arguing non-stop, Xiao Chengjue walked in breathlessly.

But seeing his face full of dust and frost, as if he was in a hurry, he must have rushed over without stopping.

These few days, His Highness King Yi had a bad time, his older brother threw him out to help him find the medicine.

But in the end, he didn't find anyone outside of the city. He hadn't thought that he would run into one today.

"You bought the medicine?"

Xiao Chengyi looked at him in surprise.

He didn't know when this unreliable little brother had become so efficient.

"That's only natural. In this world, there is nothing that I can't accomplish."

After taking a breath, the King Yi began to blow his own trumpet.

"Get down to business."

Xiao Chengyi said with a stern expression.

Being lectured by his own brother, Xiao Chengjue did not dare speak anymore and hastily explained: "Speaking of which, coincidentally, there is a new Madame Yun medicine store in this city, the store isn't that big. I was only trying my luck, but Third Brother has all the herbs he needs, in order to prevent them from being stolen by the crown prince, I have already bought all of them back."

If it wasn't for the fact that he heard that the crown prince was deliberately making things difficult for him, Xiao Chengjue would probably not be so nimble when doing things.
