"Your Majesty only gave His Highness the right to send urgent letters three hundred miles away. These memorials are recorded and dated. If you go too fast and exceed the rules, Your Highness will definitely be implicated."

ah?!

The messenger suddenly felt that the memorial in his hand was a hot potato.

It must be picked up, because this is his mission and must be delivered.

It's just that he is very confused...

"Master, do you want the little one to run faster or slower?"

Dong You glanced deeply at the messenger, his face tense and he didn't answer.

On the other hand, Dong Ertian, who was next to him, pulled the messenger aside by his sleeve and spoke in a low voice.

"Wouldn't it be better if you walk faster on the road and wait more slowly and steadily when you get in front of His Majesty?"

Yes!

The messenger suddenly understood. Looking at the kindly smiling Master Dong, he quickly clasped his fists and bowed.

"I will definitely deliver the memorial on time!"

Although I don’t understand why the Grand Master is tormenting himself like this, but it concerns His Highness the Crown Prince, so just do it and that’s it.

Rush rush rush.

…

Summer has just begun, and in the middle of the night, animals breeding for offspring are frequently active in the valley.

Especially snakes, insects, rats and ants were crawling all over the ground.

The two entwined cauliflower snakes were intertwining head to tail, making it difficult to distinguish between you and me. A strong smell permeated the surroundings.

Among them, the smell of realgar is particularly obvious, which scares them away from their mates and quickly flees with their tails wagging.

"Swish, swish, swish."

Su Chanyi beat the grass with a fire stick, walked to a clean stone, leaned on it to breathe for a while, and looked towards the west.

You can also see the firelight in the military camp.

Listen carefully, and you can even hear the voice of Angelica dahuricae teaching people.

"If I had known that the mountain roads here were so slippery, I should have asked Bai Zhi to come with us."

pity.

The short-tongued Bai Zhi was so focused on fulfilling her promise that she couldn't get away even for a moment.

There is no other way, she can only bear the heavy responsibility of finding a medicine for His Royal Highness.

“It’s not hard to find wild Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains.”

While talking, Su Chanyi found a cluster in the grass.

Seeing that it had just emerged and was still unable to receive any medicine, she shook her head in disappointment.

Even if it can be used as medicine, this cluster of wild Ganoderma lucidum grows from rotten wood, and what she is looking for is Ganoderma lucidum that grows on thousand-year-old trees.

"We still have to walk deeper into the mountains and forests."

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.

When you hide trees in the forest, you can slow down the wind.

Su Chanyi thought of this sentence her father once taught her, and Zhang Junlin's face flashed in her mind.

"His Royal Highness has been dormant for so many years just to wait for this moment. If I can't save his life, wouldn't I be living up to the strong wind that wants to destroy him?"

Encouraged, she raised her heavy feet and continued to move forward by tapping the fire stick.

I don’t know how long I walked until I could no longer see the bonfire rising in the military camp and could no longer hear the shouts of the soldiers during night training.

Su Chanyi finally saw a banyan tree that had lived for a thousand years and its core was empty.

After getting through the intertwined children and grandchildren in front of the main tree, she finally stood in front of the hollow trunk, and she sighed in disappointment.

This banyan tree looks lush and leafy in the distance, but it is actually dead long ago. Those branches are just new trees growing out of its decayed roots.

"The new tree is a hundred years old, but it still doesn't work."

Su Chanyi looked around again.

We have indeed found Ganoderma lucidum that can be used, but it cannot be used as a medicine for His Royal Highness.

She picked the Ganoderma lucidum and put it in her basket, then climbed to the top of the banyan tree.

Standing high and seeing far away, she could clearly see the surrounding terrain and growing vegetation, which made her even more disappointed.

Except for this banyan forest, there is no environment where thousand-year-old trees can grow Ganoderma lucidum in the rest of the place.

"If it's really not possible, we can only go back to Baicao Valley. However, this trip will take a long time. I don't know if His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to persist until that day."

Normally it would be no problem.

At worst, she would give him a few life-extending pills and let Angelica dahurica accompany him to speed up his journey.

But His Highness the Crown Prince is not only facing the danger of death from poison at any time, but an even greater crisis comes from the assassins of Xi Chu.

If Dufa happens to encounter the arrival of the Xichu assassin... he will definitely die.

"It's such a head-scratching predicament."

Su Chanyi yawned and her body shook violently.

not good.

Was bitten by a poisonous insect that paralyzed the body.

When she realized this, she quickly swallowed an antidote pill and tied herself to the nearest strong tree trunk with the rope in her backpack.

Spray all the repellent scent you have on yourself.

These preparations may sound complicated, but for Su Chanyi, who collects herbs in the mountains all year round and often encounters accidents, they can be completed with a snap of her fingers.

As soon as she finished doing this, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

Swish, swish, swish.

There were snakes passing nearby.

They are all ten feet away from this pile of "medicine".

"Cuckoo!"

The next day.

When the morning sun shone on Su Chanyi's body, the numbing poison dissipated, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Just when she was about to stretch, the branches made a "click" sound, which made her immediately understand her situation and hugged the branch in front of her tightly.

"Although the trip was in vain, at least I completed what Bai Zhi told me and had a good sleep."

Su Chanyi waited until the branches stopped shaking, untied the rope, and checked the powder on her clothes.

There are no traces of any animals climbing on it, indicating that there is no possibility of secondary poisoning.

You can go down the tree.

Boom.

After jumping down from the tree, Su Chanyi took out the cakes that Bai Zhi stuffed into her basket, filled her stomach briefly, and then walked back along the path that she had beaten with the fire stick last night.

After walking for an hour, the sound of Angelica dahurica's shouts came from the west.

"Punch!"

"Kick!"

"Raise it higher!"

When Su Chanyi heard Bai Zhi's voice, her tense nerves relaxed, but her expression was still a little downcast.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she became happy.

"If that doesn't work, you can ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come with me to Baicao Valley!"

When the time comes, you can disguise yourself and avoid the assassins.

I just don’t know if His Highness the Prince is willing to leave Jinling.

Su Chanyi frowned. She was so absorbed in thinking about the problem that she didn't pay attention to her feet. She stepped on a raised stone and tilted her body towards the valley.

Although you won't be shattered if you fall down a hillside dozens of meters high, you will still be seriously injured.

clang!

Su Chanyi skillfully picked up the iron pick hung on the backpack and drove it into the stone wall.

As a professional doctor, collecting medicine is an introductory task.

She stumbled and fell down more valleys than she walked across bridges. Just as she was about to climb up, her eyes fell on a crooked tree on the upper left.
