There were only three ingredients needed to cure Mute Granny's poison: Serpent Fruit, Bear Chuan, and Panoptic Red Lotus.
Now that the Serpent Fruit was in Chang Fei Ye's hands and the Panoptic Red Lotus was confirmed to be in the Mu family's herb storage, only the Bear Chuan was still missing.
Mu Ling 'er's eyes flashed with a sly glint as she smirked, "Qi Brother, do you think I'll become more powerful than Gu Qi Sha from Medicine Ghost Valley in the future?"
"You will!" Gu was very certain.
"Hehe, there's only one Bear Chuan in the world. Gu Qi Sha probably doesn't know where it is either," Mu Ling 'er said mysteriously.
"Still not telling me?" Clearly, Gu's patience was running out.
Mu Ling 'er leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Northern Li's Kang Wang!"
"Jun Yi Xie!" Gu was very surprised, "How did you know?"
Jun Yi Xie had kept a low profile ever since he was defeated in Medical City, but Gu hadn't forgotten about him.
He had always been a vengeful person. He would take revenge for both himself and Poison Lass!
Even if Jun Yi Xie was poisoned by Poison Lass and could never be cured, it was Poison Lass who took revenge for him!
Gu Qishao had been waiting this entire time to take revenge for Poison lass!
"This thing is being raised in the Hundred Poisons Sect's herb storage. I spent a lot of money to buy this information from a friend."
Unlike Gu Qi Sha, who was an enemy in the medical circle, Mu Ling 'er had many friends and was naturally well-informed.
"Qi Brother, when we find the Panoptic Red Lotus, let's go to the Hundred Poisons Sect's herb storage together, okay?" Mu Ling 'er was very excited.
She didn't tell Qi Gege about this in the letter because she wanted to find him personally and beg him to agree!
The happiest thing was to go on an adventure with Qi Brother, to live and die together, to share sorrow and joy.
"Jun Yi Xie …"
Gu rubbed his chin and pondered for a while. "There's no hurry. Let's find the Panoptic Red Lotus first."
As long as he was sure that Xiong chuan was with Jun Yi Xie, he was relieved.
"Qi Brother …"
Mu Ling'er was about to say something when she suddenly sneezed.
His entire body was dripping wet, and when the wind blew, it was really cold to the bone.
"Good girl, dry your clothes first. I'll keep watch for you."
Gu had a smile on his face the whole time. He was in a very good mood. A casual word of "good girl" made Mu Ling 'er instantly become obedient.
She said happily, "Okay!"
When Mu Ling'er finished tidying up and came out, Gu was leaning against the wall with one hand behind his head and the other hand stroking his smooth chin. His long and narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was planning something.
"Qi Brother, what are you thinking about?" Mu Ling 'er's intuition told her that there was something wrong with this guy.
"Nothing."
Gu lazily rose to his feet. "Let's figure things out and split up."
Mu Ling'er was delighted. She could spend time with Qi Brother for a long time now. In any case, she'd have plenty of time to ask him questions in the future.
Aside from the places they'd already searched, there was still more than half of the Mu Clan's medicine storehouse that they hadn't searched yet.
The two of them discussed their routes and split up before meeting up at night. Their search ended up taking them over two months.
Two months later, it was already the end of the year.
There wasn't much grain left in Tianning's disaster regions. Plenty of grain had been donated over the past two months, but it was still like trying to put out a burning cart with a cup of water.
Thanks to Emperor Tianhui's incitement, all of Tianning from top to bottom began to pay attention to the disaster areas after the new year.
However, His Highness Duke of Qin, who was in charge of the disaster relief efforts, was no longer in the region.
"Your Majesty, the spies in South Ning Prefecture sent news that His Highness Duke of Qin has left the prefecture!" Eunuch Luo reported.
"Where to?" Emperor Tianhui was surprised. He was the one who'd personally sent the Duke of Qin to the disaster regions, but he was the one who worried the most.
Eunuch Luo replied timidly, "The spies are still searching."
At his words, Emperor Tianhui lost his temper and slapped the table. "Useless trash! A bunch of useless trash! So many people were watching one person, but they still lost sight of him! "
For Emperor Tianhui, this was his last gamble. He had to be extra cautious.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Duke of Qin couldn't have secretly gone to look for grain, right?" Eunuch Luo asked doubtfully.
He hadn't looked for grain in the past two months! Emperor Tianhui had been paying attention to the Duke of Qin and Qin Wangfei's every move in South Ning Prefecture.
Actually, it wasn't just Emperor Tianhui, but everyone else as well. They all assumed that His Highness Duke of Qin and esteemed wangfei would be in a hurry to find grain.
But His Highness Duke of Qin hadn't found a single grain in the past two months. He and esteemed wangfei were living in seclusion at the South Ning Prefecture official's estate as if they were on vacation!
"If they didn't look for grain two months ago, where would they go now?" Emperor Tianhui retorted unhappily.
This year's harvest hadn't been good. It was the end of the year when grain was needed, so there was a shortage of grain everywhere.
"Then … where would they go?" Eunuch Luo asked thoughtfully.
Emperor Tianhui glared at him, too angry to speak. Eunuch Luo actually dared to ask him? Who was he supposed to ask if Eunuch Luo was asking him?
As soon as Eunuch Luo met Emperor Tianhui's eyes, he backed away in fear and shut his mouth.
Emperor Tianhui furiously slapped the table. "Search! Find them even if you have to dig three feet into the ground! Otherwise, don't even think about celebrating the new year! "
Scared to death, Eunuch Luo hastily went to announce the decree.
Just where were Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi?
Emperor Tianhui was paying close attention, but Long Fei Ye wasn't hiding from him, but the Tang Clan.
There were only ten days left until New Year's Eve. Long Fei Ye received news ahead of time from the Tang Clan that Tang Zijin had already taken care of Tang Li's escape from his marriage. He was going to personally visit the South Ning Prefecture official's estate to invite him and Han Yunxi to the Tang Clan for New Year's.
South Ning Prefecture wasn't far from the Tang Clan.
Long Fei Ye left with Han Yunxi the very next night after receiving the news.
It was easy for him to find an excuse for not going, but he was too lazy to find one.
"Your Highness, just where are we going?" Han Yunxi was still in a daze. She had no idea what was going on.
"New Year's Eve," Long Fei Ye said simply.
"Back to the capital? We won't make it in time either? "Han Yunxi was alarmed.
According to the rules of Tianning's imperial clan, even the princes, dukes, and junwang who had been sent out had to return to the capital, to say nothing of Long Fei Ye, the noblest of all dukes.
But Emperor Tianhui couldn't send them to the disaster areas so easily. How could he let them go back so easily?
There were only ten days left until New Year's Eve, so they wouldn't be able to make it back in time.
Long Fei Ye was about to say something when he stopped himself. "Sleep, then. You'll know when we get there."
Over the past two months, he'd been searching for the whereabouts of the Seven Noble Families' descendants while Han Yunxi was immersed in the detox dimension, trying to figure out the antidote for Baili Mingxiang's poisons.
The two of them didn't put the matter of finding grain to heart. To outsiders, it looked like they were on vacation, but they knew better than anyone else how busy they were.
Han Yunxi wasn't in the best of spirits because she was immersed in the detox dimension. Moreover, the days were getting colder and colder, making her more and more sleepy.
"Is Your Highness planning to give chenqie a surprise?" Han Yunxi asked with interest.
A surprise for her? Did that count?
Long Fei Ye had never understood how to curry favor with a woman, much less give her a surprise.
Perhaps this was it.
"You'll know when we get there," he said the same thing.
"Then chenqie will … look forward to it."
Han Yunxi stole a glance at him just as Long Fei Ye's gaze drifted over as well. When he saw her looking at him, he immediately averted his gaze.
Han Yunxi was still wrapped in a white fox fur coat as she curled up on one side, her eyes closed.
She should've gone back into the detox dimension, but Long Fei Ye's tantalizing words made it impossible for her to concentrate.
In this world, only the man by her side could do such a thing. A few words were enough to stir up the waters of her heart, making it impossible for her to calm down.
New Year's Eve was a major event. Family matters were meant to be celebrated with family.
It was impossible for her to return to the capital. Was this fellow going to take her to see his family?
To the Tang Clan?
He had said that his parents were from the Tang Clan.
Although Han Yunxi didn't like seeing Aunt Ru's despicable face, she would still be very happy if she could go back to the Tang Clan with Long Fei Ye for New Year's Eve.
After all, it was as grand as going back with him to see his parents. This meant that he had completely brought her into his world.
Although he didn't say anything, she didn't ask.
However, in the end, she still hoped that he would tell her more of his secrets.
He said that one's background was a matter of the past, a matter of the previous generation, and that one should look forward to the future.
But if one didn't understand a person's past, how could one understand him, love him, dote on him, protect him?
Baili Mingxiang had started cultivating Beauty's Blood at such a young age. What about him? At what age did he have the ambition to conquer the world? Was it tiring?
Long Fei Ye, my past belonged to Han Yunxi, whose soul had died. I don't care about it. But your past is something that you personally experienced day by day. How can I not care?
Han Yunxi secretly opened her eyes. She saw Long Fei Ye holding a scroll and carefully reading it.
He was dressed in a snow-white robe with a luxurious fox fur robe draped over it. The white was spotless and elegant, while the purple was noble and extraordinary. He didn't look like an ordinary person.
Such a quiet and restrained scene would forever be engraved in Han Yunxi's heart.
Long Fei Ye, I look forward to … I look forward to getting closer to you. Even closer.
I will definitely finish walking a hundred steps.
The carriage took a hidden path and didn't travel fast. When they arrived at their destination, there were only two days left until New Year's Eve.
She didn't know how he developed this habit, but when they were in the same carriage, he would always get off first and then personally help her down.
This time, she closed her eyes and felt the door sill to get out. She almost fell. Seeing this, he hurriedly supported her. "What are you doing?"
"Is it a surprise?" Han Yunxi asked with a smile.
She had always remembered it, but he had forgotten.
Han Yunxi waited. She wanted to see how he would answer this time. Unfortunately, she waited and waited, but Long Fei Ye didn't say anything for a long time.
Han Yunxi's good mood was inevitably dampened after waiting for a long time.
Alright, she had done something unnecessary. This guy was as cold as an iceberg. He didn't even know how to joke. How could he be in the mood for this?
If he didn't answer, she might as well answer it herself. "Hehe, you'll know when you open your eyes!"
Han Yunxi was about to open her eyes when Long Fei Ye suddenly reached out and covered her eyes. "Wait!"
