The few men were shocked, wasn't that Princess Qi's Xu Rouzhi?

Why, instead of giving out food on the platform, she would lie in the corner behind them and eavesdrop — had she found out where they were?

Looking around, the citizens' attention was all focused on the relief platform, and did not notice that, in that small corner, a few of them quickly exchanged glances, and with a "shua" sound, they all pulled out their swords, and the two of them flew up, stepping on their comrades's shoulders, and thrusted their swords at Xu Rouzhi!

Seeing the two swords flash with a cold light as they pierced towards him, Xu Rouzhi trembled in fear: "Bi Su, quickly!"

"Princess, don't be afraid!" Bi Su's calm voice came from behind Xu Rouzhi. Xu Rouzhi only felt her body becoming lighter, as someone had already lifted him off the wall.

Xu Rouzhi thought, Bi Su's strength was so strong, she could actually lift her up in the air!

But, out of the corner of her eyes, she suddenly saw Bi Su brandishing her sword towards the assassin. Xu Rouzhi was startled, why would Bi Su …

Was it not Bi Su who mentioned her? Who was that?

Xu Rouzhi was so shocked that she almost cried out. She whispered into her ear, "Don't be afraid, Princess, it's very safe here."

Lu Ming's voice!

Xu Rouzhi heaved a sigh of relief, Lu Ming had already brought her down to the ground.

Once on the ground, Lu Ming handed her over to the guards of the Duke Palace who suddenly came out, and said in a low voice: "Escort the wangfei back to the mansion."

Xu Rouzhi didn't even have time to react before she was brought out of this empty house.

— What's going on, where did Lu Ming come from?

In the morning, Bi Su told her that she had noticed someone hiding in the shadows the day before, and was probably thinking of harming her. It would be better if she hid in the empty house this morning to lure those people out so that she could capture them and interrogate them. She obediently came, and sure enough, there were a few people sneaking around, keeping watch on the relief platform. The moment she appeared, those people revealed their killing intent …

But how did Lu Ming come here? Was it Chu Yixuan who sent her to spy on him?

Xu Rouzhi flung away the guards of the Duke Palace and shouted angrily, "Stop! "Don't pull me!"

The guards of the manor hastened to say, "Princess, it's not safe here. Let's hurry and return to the manor!"

Xu Rouzhi pointed at the noses of the few people. "If I say don't pull me, then don't pull me.

The several guards of the manor were startled. They looked at each other in dismay, not daring to make a move.

"Go, go to the relief station and help out!" Xu Rouzhi instructed.

A few of the Duke Palaces were stunned, Xu Rouzhi had already run towards that corner.

— But, that corner had already calmed down, there was no sound of fighting, and there was no cold glint of blades and swords. Strange, where did he go?

Xu Rouzhi was startled, she turned around but did not hear anything. She did not see anyone either.

Xu Rouzhi closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. — — As expected, the air was filled with the faint aroma of medicine.

Hmph, did she think she wouldn't be able to find him just because she couldn't see him? Chu Yixuan wanted to send Lu Ming to destroy her and Bi Su's plan to capture the thief, but she would not give up just like that!

Escaping the fragrance that Bi Su carried with him, Xu Rouzhi turned into a remote alley. The sound of swords clashing entered her ears. Ha! She had found it!

Xu Rouzhi casually pulled out the short sword that Bi Su had left for her, holding it tightly in his hand, just in case something unexpected happened. All of a sudden, a hand grabbed onto her skirt, causing her to turn and swing her sword in shock. A short figure dodged in a flurry, avoiding the sword light. "Princess Xu, it's me!"

"Oda?" Xu Rouzhi was startled, she sized up the frail youth and asked: "Why are you here?"

Yu Tian looked around, pulled Xu Rouzhi to a secluded place, and said in a low voice: "I saw Big Sister Bi Su, she was fighting very nervously over there … Someone is coming for you. Princess, hurry and hide at my place! "

"Your home? Is this conch alley? "

"Yes, this is Conch Lane."

Xu Rouzhi turned her head to listen, and sure enough, there were several people chasing after conch alley. If it wasn't the assassin who wanted to kill her, then it was a guard from Prince Qi Palace!

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to take me to hide in your house for a while!"

"Princess, follow me!"

Yu Tian pulled Xu Rouzhi, turned left and right, and rushed into a normal house.

This house was truly ordinary.

Xu Rouzhi stopped in her tracks and looked around. Em, there was actually such a simple and crude house under the feet of the Emperor Ji City and the Son of Heaven. The doors and windows were all old, and other than a few bundles of firewood, there was really nothing else in the courtyard.

Yu Tian stood at the door, twisting the corner of his clothes, and looked at Xu Rouzhi very cautiously: "My father, who was seven years old, died on the battlefield. My mother has suffered and endured until now, but I have not been able to recover from my illness. "You have no ability, but your home is rather simple and crude. I hope that you won't mind."

Xu Rouzhi's heart soured. She patted Yu Tian's head and smiled gently: "I won't despise you!"

Yu Tian lowered his head and invited Xu Rouzhi in.

Inside the house, a strong herbal aroma wafted in all directions, including the smell of cypress and angelica.

Xu Rouzhi turned to Yu Tian: "You bought the medicine already? Has your mother improved after taking the medicine? "

Yu Tian still did not answer, but there were no sounds of coughing coming from the bed. Xu Rouzhi was shocked, she did not realise that there was someone lying on the bed!

"Tian …" The woman's hoarse voice came from the bed, "Is there a guest?"

Yu Tian immediately walked to the bedside and gently held onto the hand that came out from under the blanket, and said softly: "Mother, the Princess Qi is here, she's the good person that gave us the steamed buns yesterday."

"Oh?" With Yu Tian's support, the person on the bed struggled to get up, but in the end, he laid back down.

Xu Rouzhi stared blankly at the hand that was grabbing onto Yu Tian's wrist.

It was impossible to describe the feeling of his withered hands when using such thin bones. If she didn't have the ability to make a sound, she would have thought that he was a dried up corpse!

How could he be so thin...

On the sickbed, a rapid but weak voice coughed.

Yu Tian looked at Xu Rouzhi with an apologetic gaze: "My mother is very ill and is unable to receive Princess Wangfei. Princess Wangfei can take a seat first, wait for me to help my mother lie down before making tea for Princess Wangfei."

"Don't bother, I don't drink tea." Xu Rouzhi waved her hands, and slowly walked towards the bedside, looking out, under the dim light, he could clearly see the girl inside the blanket. She looked to be only in her thirties, but her eyes were sunken in, her face was yellow, and her lips were withered and pale, she seemed to have lost her human form.

The woman reluctantly stopped her coughing, she panted and said with difficulty: "The princess has arrived, I cannot welcome you from afar, please..." "Please forgive me …"

Xu Rouzhi waved her hands: "Alright, alright, it's fine. If you're not feeling well, just lie down and don't be polite. I won't be polite."

The woman couldn't hold it in and started coughing again. She coughed until her eyeballs bulged out, and her pale face turned red before turning pale again.

Xu Rouzhi frowned: "Oda, have you never invited your husband to take a look?"

Yu Tian lowered her head and said with tears in his eyes, "I have invited you once, but... The doctor said, "My mother has tuberculosis of the lungs and has no cure."

Pulmonary tuberculosis?

Xu Rouzhi sat down on the side of the bed and grabbed the woman's hand, "Let me see."

The woman was shocked, clearly wanting to withdraw her hand. "Wang …" "Esteemed wangfei, this little lady's illness, it's not appropriate for wangfei to get close …"

"It's fine." Xu Rouzhi carefully touched the girl's pulse, and then gently lifted her blanket. Leaning on the woman's chest and listening to the voice coming from her chest, she sat up straight with a serious expression.

Yu Tian once again covered his mother with the blanket and asked nervously, "Did the wangfei manage to hear anything?"

Xu Rouzhi did not answer directly: "What symptoms does your mother usually have?"

Yu Tian said, "It's just that it's always hot. Although it's not very hot, it can't be lowered. "My neighbor's grandmother taught me to fry it for my mother with cypress, angelica and albino, but it's useless to drink it. It's just not going to come down."

That's right, she smelled the scent of Huang Bai and Angelica when she entered the room. It seems that that medical book had taught her quite a lot!

"Other than fever, what other symptoms do you have?" Xu Rouzhi asked again.

"There's also Sweat, I'm completely powerless, and I don't want to eat." The woman on the bed replied weakly.

Yu Tian added, "My mother even coughed up phlegm and hemoptysis."

"Is it chest pain?" Xu Rouzhi asked.

On the sickbed, the woman nodded slightly.

Xu Rouzhi already understood. She stood up and patted Yu Tian's shoulders, "Don't worry, your mother's illness can be cured. Wait until I go back to the house and get someone to send you some silver, then you can go and get a set of medicine for your mother's tuberculosis. Eat a few more and she will recover slowly."

"Tuberculosis?" Yu Tian was stunned, he had never heard of this kind of sickness!

Oh, Xu Rouzhi thought about it. Ancient people did not have the knowledge of tuberculosis. Could it be that he was going to force her to give it a try and personally come to treat Yu Tian's mother's illness?

"How about this," Xu Rouzhi pulled Yu Tian out of the courtyard, took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, placed it in Yu Tian's hands, and said softly: "I'll take this as a pawn. I'll first buy some rice and some meat for your mother to taste and cook some meat porridge for her.

Yu Tian looked up in shock and hurriedly pushed the bracelet back to Xu Rouzhi. "How can I do that, wangfei, I don't dare to accept this. My mother will scold me.

"Don't let your mother hear it. Keep it!" Xu Rouzhi put down her long sleeves, "Anyway, I don't like wearing this kind of thing. If one day it breaks, wouldn't it be a pity? You don't need to go to the Prince Qi Palace to collect food for help, I will send someone over to send it over to you, you just need to take good care of your mother! "

The corner of Yu Tian's eyes immediately filled with tears. He kept his bracelet and knelt on the ground with a thump. He kowtowed to Xu Rouzhi with all his might.

Xu Rouzhi supported Oda: "Enough, stop kowtowing. I said I won't kowtow in this manner."

Yu Tian said gratefully: "In the future, if Royal Concubine has a use for Oda, Oda will definitely go through thick and thin, and won't hesitate to die for sure!"

"Uh," Xu Rouzhi heard the sounds of the battle from outside and thought that the sound of the battle had disappeared. She patted Yu Tian with a smile. "Very good, then think of a way to send me back to the Prince Qi Palace!"

Yu Tian immediately became excited: "No problem! I know there is a road that leads to the three forks in the road outside Prince Qi Palace. I will go tell my mother that I will send Princess Wangfei back! "
