As the autumn rain ended, Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengrui led their different armies and left. The entire Sky Flame City became quiet because of the approaching winter.
Beneath it, countless people and men were operating quietly.
He Jin handed over a handwritten letter to the shop assistant. On the letter were the words, "Send it to this place and tell them to take action the moment you receive the letter. Do not let anyone know."
"Yes." The clerk hurried to do so.
The other doctors looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. He Jin took out another list and handed it to them. "Send someone to collect the herbs on this list. These days, I will no longer seek medical attention. I will only say that I am bedridden."
All the doctors nodded, thinking that He Jin was going on another trip.
However, he merely brought his medicine chest along with him as he arrived at the Qi Residence with another letter. The moment he said the name, he was invited to enter, passing through a crisscrossing corridor and coming to Qi Rou's study recently to see her put a snow-white velvet bag by her side. There was even a letter written by He Jin.
He Jing chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that this letter would actually arrive."
"Gu Liuyan is very smart." Many of her subordinates who were transporting the goods had received help from He Jin, not to mention that Gu Liuyan had always respected this senior, she had even looked through the medicinal formulas that the two of them had exchanged. With just a glance, she could tell that the words on this letter came from He Jin.
When the two of them met, they knew that it was all Gu Meiyan's arrangement.
"She hopes that you can bring me to the palace to treat His Majesty's illness. She worries that there's something wrong with the imperial hospital, and similarly, this letter was written crookedly by herself, saying that we must personally deliver it to the emperor."
"You don't know the contents?" Qi Rou raised her eyebrows and held the letter in her hand, "This letter even mentioned a prescription …" "So this prescription is …"
"This is another piece of the emperor's antidote. If any of these letters are lost, she has to ensure that the emperor is not poisoned to death." With a dark expression, He Jin placed another crooked note on the table. "This is what she left behind after she left. Tell me, she has both your hands prepared."
"It's fine if this letter doesn't reach me, but you should be very safe." Qi Rou couldn't help but laugh.
"Someone used to impersonate me." He Jin also opened his mouth.
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, the two looked at each other before exchanging a few pieces of paper with a solemn expression on their faces.
After He Jin's handwriting, there were indeed some twisted words written by Gu Tinyan.
In this way, Qi Rou and He Jin came to the realization that they only needed to guarantee the emperor's detoxification, and to deliver the other letter into the emperor's hands. After tidying things up, Qi Rou immediately sent people to prepare to enter the palace, and with the excuse that she wanted to personally present the latest design to the emperor.
Duan Cong was wary when she heard that Qi Rou was going to bring people into the palace. In the front, Gu Xuan Yan was very aggressive, and Qi Rou was a woman as well. However, when He Jin took out the medicine box and Qi Rou handed over the letter, Duan Cong asked curiously, "She has already gone to the Fallen Water Barrier. Is she still worried about Zhen's health?"
When Duan Cong was still a crown prince, she had heard of the name of the old mister He.
When he opened the letter, he only had a few sentences to say.
"The Third Prince didn't poison you because he wanted to kill you. I don't suspect that you're being infatuated with your lover."
"It is difficult to return the lost ones. One would resent the fact that they are unable to make up for the lost ones' losses. As an overlord, one can seek for peace and harmony, and leave everything to one's heart."
It wasn't even as strict as those scholars, but Duan Cong folded the letter and placed it on the table. She took a deep breath and said, "Come."
A young eunuch rushed in from outside and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty."
"Have Hui Fei come to me." I want to hear her explanation.
He Jin retracted his hand, and took out some medicinal herbs from the medicine chest to hand to the trusted aide of the Emperor. "This poison is not fatal, but it will cause people who consume it for a long time to falsely die for a period of time. Moreover, the poison hasn't changed since then."
Duan Cong's eyes flashed as she waved her hand to allow Qi Rou and He Jin to leave.
In other words, Duan Chengrui and Hui Fei didn't want to kill him.
On the other side, the door to the temporary residence of Prince Zong Ping was knocked.
The Hall of Helplessness's staff member who was familiar with Gu Mingyan passed a letter to Duan Chengyu, requesting him to explore the Third Prince's residence and bring Ah Zi and Ping Chuan out safely. She also told him that Ah Zi and Ping Chuan's shackles were only to exchange for the trust of others.
Duan Chengyu looked at the crooked words written on it and chose to do as he was told. Only he knew of this matter.
Not long after leaving the city, the carriage began to sway gently. Gu Dingyan closed his eyes and started to calculate the time, thinking that the letters should have been handed over to each of them. Only Yue Qing and Mu Qing remained in her carriage.
Because Duan Chengrui was leading the army, he was a long way ahead. Right now, it was the perfect time for her to talk about conditions.
"I've read about an ancient formula that can dispel the poison in my body." At first, she wanted to pick up the ball of fur as usual, but in the end, her hands were empty. She could only carry the cotton bag in her arms and said: "It's a pity that three of the herbs are missing. Mu Qing, do you know if it's complete?"
"I know." Mu Qing nodded.
For example, Gu Liuyan had already broken off relations with Duan Chengxuan and chose the latter between love and immortality. She even sent people to imprison her close friends, who appeared to be called Pingchuan and another musician. Not only that, she even saved their lives in front of Duan Chengli, and made a pretty good condition for him.
"Then, did you agree to my previous condition?" Gu Danyan laughed lightly, rolled the cotton ball into a small ball, then let go of her hand and let the cotton ball return to its original shape.
"I should try it out with you. I'm connected to Su Yu Wan or even to her blood vessels. If the harmony between Yin and Yang is real, then we can better combine into one …" Mu Qing also threw out an olive branch, exposing the dirtiest part of his heart.
However, Gu Liuyan felt disdain from the bottom of his heart.
Both of them were human doctors, so Mu Qing had chosen a crooked path from the very beginning. He was truly willing to eliminate his love for Su Yu Wan for the sake of immortality.
But on the surface, Gu Pingyan had a surprised expression. He immediately raised the corner of his mouth and said: "That seems to be true, but how can I trust you?" "I don't know if I'll die from poison after I become immortal, so I need to know that ancient recipe."
"I can tell you about the three herbs bit by bit." Mu Qing pretended to be suspicious and threw out an olive branch. "One of them is the most potent part of the Jade Dragon Snow, and the amount of medicine is 10% of the root hair's weight."
And Gu Daiyan had left this spot just in time.
