In the palace of the capital.
Mo Rongzhan looked at the secret report in his hand. That little girl actually went to Golden Tree City! She really couldn't calm down for a moment.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Anyang was poisoned with seven days of pain. The fire lotus can't completely cure him." Tang Zhen frowned and lowered his head. Thinking of his friend's injury, it was hard for him not to worry.
"Let people collect all the seven-knotgrass in the capital and send it to Yan Zhi." Mo Rongzhan said.
"Your Majesty, I will personally send it to Yan Zhi." Tang Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan immediately remembered that Tang Zhen seemed to want to be the Emperor's son-in-law. He looked up at his confidant and said, "I heard that Princess Furong also went to Golden Tree City."
Tang Zhen's eyes lit up, "I haven't heard of it."
"A Zhen, you seem to have reached the age of marriage?" Mo Rongzhan thought about which girl in the royal family was suitable for marriage. He wanted Tang Zhen to give up as soon as possible so that he would not always think about Yao Yao.
"Your Majesty, do you want to marry me?" Tang Zhen's heart moved, thinking that the Emperor wanted to marry him and Yao Yao.
Although he could no longer enter the cabinet as the Emperor's son-in-law, he didn't care as long as he could marry Yao Yao.
"Do you have someone in mind?" Mo Rongzhan asked tentatively.
Tang Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, can I marry a princess?"
There was only one princess in the whole Jin Kingdom now! Mo Rongzhan's handsome face darkened, "Which princess do you want to marry?"
"Princess Furong." Tang Zhen immediately said, "I have been in love with her for a long time."
Been in love for a long time … Mo Rongzhan's eyebrows jumped a few times.
"I can't decide for Yao Yao's marriage. Let's wait for her to come back." Mo Rongzhan said coldly. When she came back, he would ask clearly what she thought about Tang Zhen.
Standing on the side, Fu De lowered his head and silently lit a candle for Marquis Jingning. How could the Emperor let anyone marry Princess Furong?
Now in the whole Jin Kingdom, only he knew what the Emperor thought about Princess Furong.
Tang Zhen didn't know what Mo Rongzhan was thinking. Since Yao Yao was conferred the title of princess, he had been thinking about when to show his face in front of the Empress Dowager and then make the princess his son-in-law.
"Your Majesty, this subject will send the seven-knotted grass to Yan Zhi." Tang Zhen said happily. He couldn't wait to see Yao Yao when he went to Golden Firmiana City. He wanted to explain to her clearly, otherwise, he didn't know how long she would be angry.
"There's no need to send him off. Yan Zhi's condition has already stabilized. He should be back in a few days," Mo Rongzhan said lightly.
Tang Zhen responded with some disappointment.
…
Golden Indus City.
Seeing that Lu Lingzhi's poison was acting up, Lu Shiming didn't hesitate. The next day, he brought people up the mountain to look for Seven Knotgrass.
Ye Zhen was very nervous. She was worried that Tian Jiu would stay in the mountains today. What if he was caught?
"Yao Yao, did I hurt you yesterday?" Lu Lingzhi looked at Ye Zhen by the door, his voice full of exhaustion.
"No." Ye Zhen said faintly, unwilling to look at Lu Lingzhi.
Lu Lingzhi rubbed the space between his eyebrows. "This is the first time the poison has acted up. Previously, you said that I wouldn't be able to take it, but now I know how painful the past seven days have been."
Ye Zhen looked back at him indifferently. "Do you know what you did when you were poisoned?"
"What did I do?" Lu Lingzhi asked doubtfully.
"You hugged me and said sorry to me." Ye Zhen sneered. "You are sorry to Ye Zhen, aren't you? Aren't you not familiar with her? What did you do to let her down? "
Lu Lingzhi's pale face became even uglier. "You heard wrong!"
"Is that so?" Ye Zhen smiled and didn't ask him again. It seemed that Lu Lingzhi himself felt sorry for her. Otherwise, he would not have apologized to her when he was delirious.
But what was the use of apologizing?
Lu Lingzhi stared at his sister's beautiful profile with a complicated look in his eyes. With her here, it was hard for him not to think of Ye Zhen.
In the evening, Lu Shiming came back with Ye Zhen. They found two pieces of Seven Knotgrass. They turned the whole mountain over but found no more.
"Dad, did you only find Seven Knotgrass today?" Ye Zhen was a little nervous, fearing that they would find Tian Jiu.
Lu Shiming said, "It's good to find two."
Luo You also said, "Yes, we searched the whole mountain, but we didn't find it."
It seems that Tian Jiu and the others have left! Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. "Two will last for a while. Let's look for them in the south."
In the next half a month, Lu Lingzhi's injuries gradually healed. Although the remaining poison had not been cleared, he was able to walk on the ground. The Seven Knotgrass was almost used up, so Qi Jin let them set off for the capital.
The army of the western vassal state had returned to the capital two days ago, and the western vassal king had also accepted the emperor's punishment. Lu Lingzhi and the others walked for ten days before returning to the capital.
Old Madam Lu saw that Lu Lingzhi had lost a lot of weight and his face was extremely pale. She knew that his injury this time was not a trivial matter. Fortunately, she had experienced a lot of things and could still face it strongly.
However, when Mrs. Liu saw Lu Lingzhi, she cried loudly. Her voice was mournful, which made Old Madam Lu's face darken. She asked someone to take Mrs. Liu back to the house, so as not to make a fool of herself outside.
"Grandmother, I've made you worry." Lu Lingzhi was indifferent to Mrs. Liu's grief and just looked at her gently.
Old Madam Lu held his hand. "It's good that you're back."
"Mother, Yan Zhi has been on the road all day. Let him go back to the house to rest first." Lu Shiming was worried that Lu Lingzhi's poison would frighten the old madam. Today should be another seven days, and Lu Lingzhi had not taken the Seven Knotgrass to relieve the pain.
Old Madam Lu nodded quickly. "Send Marquis back to the house to rest."
Ye Zhen stood aside and watched Lu Lingzhi being escorted. The Seven Knotgrass could not relieve the pain for a long time. One day, it would be useless. What should he do then?
"Yao Yao, you must be tired. Go and freshen up and rest." Old Madam Lu looked back at Ye Zhen who had lost a lot of weight.
"Grandmother, I'm fine." Although Ye Zhen was very tired, she had been taking care of Lu Lingzhi in the carriage these days. If it were not for Doctor Qi's presence, she would not have cared about his life or death.
Old Madam Lu said, "I heard that you have been taking care of your eldest brother all the way. How can you not be tired? Go back to the house and rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Ye Zhen looked at the darkened sky. When they returned to the capital, it was already dark. Lu Shiming went to the palace to report to the emperor. Her legs were already sore and painful, plus she had been in the carriage with Lu Lingzhi for a few days. It was more tiring than anything else. "Grandmother, I will go back and rest first. I will talk to you tomorrow."
"Good, go!" Old Madam Lu said.
Ye Zhen said goodbye to the others and returned to her courtyard with Hong Ying.
Looking at the Lu residence where the lights were first lit, she let out a faint smile.
If Lu Lingzhi falls, the Lu family will fall with him!
