Chapter 24: Exploration

During the few days that Mu Lingxue stayed in Zhuangzi, she was not idle. She chose some honest hunters among the hunters and showed them the herbs she had collected in the past few days. She did not tell them what they were, she just said:

You can hunt, but you must hand over a corresponding amount of things. Because I am a hunter, I only took a few glances at the appearance of these grasses and then memorized them.

The more than ten kinds of herbs that Mu Lingxue collected were all temporarily collected by her on the mountain. She thought for a while and realized that this was not the solution. When she saw forty or fifty people standing below, she began to worry.

"I think it's better to do this. Each of you will be in groups of ten, specifically picking one kind of herb. Naturally, if you have the ability to pick other herbs at the same time, you can also pick other herbs. Those who are able will work harder. If the grass you pick weighs more than one hundred kilograms,

, I will give you money according to the kilogram of the herbs you turn in." Mu Lingxue saw the joy on Orion's face and knew that this method would work, "If you have anyone at home who is idle, you can come over.

After all, there are many kinds of herbs to be collected, and the opportunity to make money is the same for everyone."

Mu Lingxue was not afraid to tell them that this herb was a herb, but if she didn't know how to use it and how much it could cure, then it would be just a bunch of grass in their hands.

After the happy hunters left with a few herbs, Qiangwei looked at Mu Lingxue in surprise, "Princess, do you really know the herbs?"

"This is what I read in a book back then. It's been a while since we left. Let's pack up and go home." Mu Lingxue didn't want to say more, but Qiangwei could tell and didn't ask any more questions.

Just as she was preparing to leave Zhuangzi, she saw the king's car coming to the house. The person who got out of the car was Ziyi, with a serious look on her face. Mu Lingxue guessed that something had happened.

"There is an emergency in the house, so the princess should get on the carriage first. The servants are talking to the princess on the way." Zi Yi seemed to have come to handle matters in a safe manner and immediately arranged the priorities of the matter.

Originally planning to go back home, Mu Lingxue was about to get into the carriage, so she supported Ziyi's hand and got into the carriage. As a result, Qiangwei had no choice but to sit in the carriage at the back.

After the carriage started moving, Zi Yi lowered her voice and said, "Princess, the queen has issued an edict and will send someone from the palace to visit the prince tomorrow. The situation is urgent, and I am here to find the princess in a hurry."

What if you go back to find me?

Mu Lingxue complained in her heart, but since she promised Feng Guqiu to cover up the matter for him, she had no choice but to ignore it at this time. The queen must have sent someone to visit the patient, so she must be trying to find out the truth.

"Zi Yi, I don't understand. Prince Rui is the queen's biological son and has the emperor's trust. Why are you so worried about your prince?" When Mu Lingxue asked these questions, she never thought that Zi Yi would answer her.

To her surprise, Ziyi was able to tell the truth, "The prince's biological mother was the emperor's favorite concubine, but the emperor died of illness on the way home to visit relatives, and the prince looked very much like the emperor.

, so although the prince is weak and sick and has not made any achievements, he still receives the emperor's protection."

Does this count as trusting her, or is it a secret known to everyone in the Western Jin Dynasty?

"Is this worth worrying about Prince Rui and the Queen?" Speaking of which, the Queen can be considered a petty person.

Ziyi's expression remained unchanged, "This slave doesn't know."

Mu Lingxue pretended to smile unintentionally and said, "Isn't it your prince who doesn't make people feel at ease? Is he just pretending to be frail and sick?"

Zi Yi raised her head fiercely, "Aren't the princess and the prince also a family? I heard that husband and wife are one flesh."

Mu Lingxue nodded, "Isn't Jingba in the palace? Someone will come to the palace tomorrow, what can he do?"

After Jingba sent Mu Lingxue to Zhuangzi, he went back home directly. He said he was going back, but was driven back by Mu Lingxue. Mu Lingxue naturally knew why Jingba followed her, but she didn't want to

Let him follow. They all want to stare at me anyway. If you don't let him stare, you can see who is uncomfortable.

"Both servants and Jingba are servants of the palace. Who can decide the affairs of the master? Princess, please remember that you and the princess are the masters of the palace." Ziyi's words were irresistible, which made Mu Lingxue become more and more interested in her.

Like it.

She deliberately smiled and said, "Besides other things, I stayed at Prince Rui's Mansion for one night before my wedding. I don't know how it was spread that I had cheated on the prince. Only the prince has a good temper and didn't believe it. Otherwise, I

How could it still be as strong as it is today?"

Ziyi didn't answer. As for whether the prince treated the princess well or not, that was the prince's business. The princess could say these words today, and she also knew that there was a heavy meaning of temptation in them. She had said all she could. After all,

What the princess thinks is not something she and her servants can decide.

As for the prince, he always has a purpose in doing things, and all she can do is follow the prince's instructions.

Mu Lingxue saw that Ziyi was neither talking nor opening her mouth. Talking too much would be wrong. Moreover, she knew that it was not necessary, as long as she lived well. Thinking of her identity, the daughter of a criminal official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was accused of marrying.

Thinking about it, it's just an insignificant chess piece. All she needs to do is to make herself live safely and well.

After arriving at the palace in the afternoon, Mu Lingxue directly asked Jingpachi to follow her into the inner courtyard, "It is very important for people from the palace to come, but the prince is recuperating. I wonder how your aunts are copying the scriptures? I am out of the palace.

No one knows about this. In this case, I will order you to go ahead and let each of the masters have an hour to read the scriptures they have copied outside the prince's courtyard. The prince has always liked peace and quiet, and I think he will feel better if he comes and listens to the Buddhist scriptures more."

Kyopachi couldn't figure out what this had to do with someone coming to the palace.

Mu Lingxue turned around and smiled with evil intentions, "Remember, this is not what I ordered."

Kyopachi's expression froze, "Princess, do you mean this is the slave's private decision?"

Just being so frank and letting himself take the blame, and thinking of the possible consequences, Kyopachi shuddered.

"As a person close to the prince, you will naturally put the prince's interests first." Mu Lingxue looked serious, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her.

Kyoba's smile was uglier than crying, "I'll do it now, my slave."

For the sake of the prince, he had to go even to death, not to mention taking the blame. Thinking of this, Jingpachi's back became straighter and straighter.
