Lu Lingzhi took them into the mountain before dark. No one knew how he did it, but he found a cave that could shelter them from the wind. The cave was very small and could only accommodate two or three people at most. He ordered people to clean up the cave, spread a mat, and lit a fire to warm it before letting Ye Zhen in.
"Unless you hide in the mountains for a lifetime, Qi Ruoshui will still find you. This is Xi Liang." Ye Zhen glanced at him and said faintly.
"It doesn't matter. Qi Ruoshui can't protect herself. It won't be long before she has no time to pay attention to me." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile, "Tonight, I can only inconvenience you. Stay in the cave for a night."
Ye Zhen glanced at him indifferently. Seeing that his wound had not been bandaged and that the others had more or less some injuries, she suddenly said, "Let people pick more herbs. If the wound is not treated, it will be more serious in case of infection." "That's right.
Lu Lingzhi looked at her with sparkling eyes. "Yao Yao, you are concerned about me."
"I'm worried about how I can leave this mountain in case you all die." Ye Zhen said coldly and turned to walk into the cave.
"No, I will be fine." Lu Lingzhi smiled.
Ye Zhen did not look back, but a faint smile floated on her lips.
"Niang niang, why pay attention to them?" Hong Ying muttered unwillingly.
Jian Jia glared at her, "What do you know?"
If Lu Lingzhi didn't let people pick herbs, how could Niang niang have a chance to poison them?
Lu Lingzhi didn't know medicine, so he didn't let Ye Zhen approach the medicine shop for fear that she would use some medicine against them. However, he still knew what herbs could heal wounds. It was not difficult to find herbs all over the mountain. He took advantage of the dim light to find the herbs he needed and made sure there were no problems before taking them back.
Ye Zhen was very clear that Lu Lingzhi's treatment was an opportunity. As long as he added something to their medicine, it would be enough to make them unconscious for a few days. Then she could take the opportunity to leave.
But how could she apply the medicine to them?
"Niang niang, you must be tired. Don't close your eyes and rest." Jian Jia whispered to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen said, "You boil some water, I want to drink some warm water."
"This servant will boil water." Hong Ying said immediately.
"Niang niang, this servant will go and guard the cave entrance. You should rest here." Jianjia said.
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. She leaned against the mountain wall and closed her eyes. Today, when she was in the carriage, she took advantage of her nap to enter the space and found a book she had taken from the priest's temple. Because the prescriptions in the book were poisonous, she stopped reading it after only a few pages. Today, when she was thinking about what kind of medicine to use on Lu Ling, she thought of this book. She searched carefully and found a kind of medicine that would make people unconscious. It was colorless and tasteless, and could be eaten in the mouth or smeared on a knife. It could make people unconscious unconsciously.
She had already made the medicine, but she was afraid that Lu Lingzhi would find it, so she kept it in her space.
He had originally planned to put the drug in their food, but now he had another chance.
Ye Zhen put the bottle of powder in her arms and came out of the space. She heard movement outside, as if Lu Lingzhi had returned.
"Yaoyao." Lu Lingzhi called out to her from the cave entrance.
"Our Empress is resting. What do you want?" Jianjia looked at Lu Lingzhi coldly and said in a low voice.
Lu Lingzhi said lightly, "Since she is resting, I will come back later."
Just then, Hong Ying came over with a pot of water. When she saw the herbs in Lu Lingzhi's hand, she curled her lips and said, "You don't expect our Empress to bandage your wound, do you?"
"I am not a doctor. I don't know if these herbs can heal wounds. I want to see Yaoyao." Lu Lingzhi didn't care about the attitude of the two maids. Now that he thought that she would be by his side in the future, he was in a good mood. How could he care about the words of the servants?
Hong Ying looked up at Lu Lingzhi. "Eldest young master, you are also our Empress's cousin. Now that you have done such a thing to her, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you?"
Lu Lingzhi's eyes were fierce and he looked coldly at Hong Ying. "Whether I am Yaoyao's cousin or not, I know better than you."
Ye Zhen walked out of the cave slowly. "What are you quarreling about?"
"Empress." As soon as Hong Ying saw Ye Zhen, she immediately lowered her head and stood beside her.
"Yaoyao, did I wake you up?" The coldness in Lu Lingzhi's eyes dissipated in an instant. He looked at Ye Zhen with a gentle smile.
Ye Zhen said indifferently, "What are you looking for me for?"
Lu Lingzhi brought the herbs he had just picked to Ye Zhen. "Can these be used to heal wounds?"
"These two have the effect of sepsis, so you can't use them together. Crush them and apply them to the wound. The wound will scab in two days. If you want it to heal faster, use some wine to clean the wound." Ye Zhen said with a cold face. She knew that Lu Lingzhi brought these herbs just to test the waters, so let him do it.
"Good." Lu Lingzhi's handsome face raised a gentle smile.
Ye Zhen glanced around. "Except for this child, all of you are injured."
"My injury is not serious." Lu Lingzhi said with a smile.
"Give me the herbs and the dagger." Ye Zhen curled her lips and looked reluctantly at him.
Lu Lingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her inexplicably.
"The medical skills I learned in the medical center make it impossible for me to stand by and do nothing." Ye Zhen said coldly.
"Good." Lu Lingzhi smiled and gave the herbs in his hand to Ye Zhen.
There was a big stone next to the entrance of the cave. She walked over with the medicine and asked Jianjia to help.
"I'll help you." Lu Lingzhi said.
Ye Zhen glanced at him. "At this time, are you still afraid that I will do something? If I had such ability, I would not have been brought here by you."
Lu Lingzhi smiled. "How can I not believe you?"
He knew that her medical skills were excellent, but no matter how good a person was, it was impossible to make any medicine out of thin air. He knew very well that she and her maid had nothing on them. Otherwise, he would have done it long ago. It was just his nature. He had experienced too many things and was not easy to trust others.
Hong Ying brought a copper bowl from the carriage and put the herbs Ye Zhen had pounded into it.
"I'm afraid these herbs are not enough. We will have to change the dressing again tomorrow." Ye Zhen said faintly.
Lu Lingzhi had been staring at Ye Zhen's hand. He smiled and took it. "Tomorrow, I will let people go to the mountains to pick more. If you need it, you can let them find it for you in the mountains."
"If there is anything that can poison people to death, then help me pick more." Ye Zhen sneered.
"Yao Yao!" Lu Lingzhi smiled and suddenly held Ye Zhen's fingers. "Your fingers are not suitable to touch that kind of thing."
Ye Zhen waved his hand away. "I won't touch it, but it doesn't mean I don't want you to die."
