Facing Dr. Lu's explanation, Yunli frowned lightly and said, "Then do you think you can wait until the capital city before giving this medicine to my wife? There are rare medicines from all over the world in the Royal Pharmacy. I believe there should be perilla grass that is more than five years old.
, when the time comes, I can ask them how many plants they want."
"Your Majesty, although I have tried my best, my wife's fetus is inherently deficient. To put it bluntly, premature birth is inevitable. My wife is already more than six months old now, and it will take at least more than a month to get from Zhengzhou to the capital.
, once seven months have passed, premature birth may occur at any time, and when the baby is born, even if you can find ten-year-old perilla grass, it will be useless." After saying this, Doctor Lu shook his head repeatedly. He had tried his best to think of a solution.
What a pity!
Yunli lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he asked: "Where does the perilla grass grow, and how to identify the perilla grass that is more than five years old?"
Dr. Lu didn’t know why he asked these questions, but he still told the truth: “Perilla grass likes shade and grows in sunny places, and it mostly likes to grow in the gaps between rocks. As for identification, the perilla grass that has grown for two or three years is
The flowers are blue-purple or pink, and if they are more than five years old, the entire plant will turn black-purple, making them easy to identify."
Yunli nodded and said nothing more. However, in the evening, when Suo Li brought dinner to Yunli's room, he found that he was not there. After asking around, everyone said that he could not see Yunli.
In desperation, he went to Ling Ruo's room to inquire, but the result he got was the same. He had not seen Yunli since the afternoon.
After waiting for another two hours, there was still no sign of Yunli. Soli was a little uneasy. If something unexpected happened to Yunli, he would not know how to explain it to Princess Qin after he returned.
Just when Suoli was about to send people to search outside, Ling Ruo came in holding Ping'er's hand. As soon as he stepped on the threshold, he asked: "How is it? Master Seventeen is back?"
Suoli said with a hint of anxiety: "I would like to report to you, Your Majesty, the prince has never come back."
"This is strange. Your Majesty is not a person who has never explained anything. Why did you leave for so long this time?"
While Ling Ruo was deep in thought, Ping'er swallowed her saliva and whispered, "Master, could it be that people from Junger's side came after me and captured Master Qi?"
"No!" before Ping'er finished speaking, Ling Ruo said decisively: "There are no signs of fighting in the room or near the inn, and I have never heard of the waiter talking about it. Besides, Master Qi is very powerful in martial arts and very resourceful.
, how could he be easily arrested?"
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Soli and said, "Did Master Seventeen say anything when you last saw him?"
Suoli thought for a moment and said: "The last time I saw the prince was when the prince asked Dr. Lu about perilla grass. Dr. Lu insisted on perilla grass that was more than five years old, but the subordinates and others searched all over Zhengzhou Prefecture.
I couldn't find it. At that time, the prince asked if he could wait until he returned to Beijing, but Doctor Lu said..." He hesitated a little after what he said, not knowing whether he should continue.
Ling Ruo knew that the following words must be related to her, so she said: "But it doesn't matter."
"Yes, Doctor Lu said that the mother's fetus was born with deficiencies, and premature birth was inevitable. She might have a miscarriage as soon as she returned to Beijing, and then even if she found the perilla grass from five years ago, it would be useless. Then the prince asked Doctor Lu
, about the characteristics of perilla grass over five years old and where it grows."
Suoli told what he knew carefully, while Ling Ruo kept lowering his head in meditation until he finished speaking, and then said: "I know where Master Seventeen went."
Hearing this, Suoli was overjoyed and quickly asked: "May I ask, where has the prince gone?"
Ling Ruo said solemnly: "Get all the manpower you can call upon. When the city gate opens tomorrow, you will immediately go out of the city to search on the tops of the mountains. If I am not mistaken, Master Seventeen should go out of the city to find Zi."
Su Cao, otherwise he wouldn't ask in such detail."
Suo Li was shocked when he heard this, and lost his voice: "Doctor Lu said that perilla grass likes to grow in the cracks of rocks. If the prince really goes to collect perilla grass, wouldn't it be very dangerous, and he has never come back."
Ling Ruo said solemnly: "There should be nothing wrong. Now that the city gate is closed, we can't do anything. We can only wait until the city gate is opened tomorrow."
Before Suoli could speak, Ah Heng, who had always been a man of few words, had already taken the lead and said: "No, the prince has not returned home at night. He must have encountered danger while collecting medicine. Every minute we go late, we will be in danger. We must find it as soon as possible."
Only the prince can do that."
When she thought that Yunli had not returned yet because she was looking for medicine for herself, Ling Ruo became restless and wished she could find Yunli immediately. However, the city gate was closed and no one was allowed in unless there was a major military incident.
This time, even Ping'er was anxious. She pulled Ling Ruo's sleeve and said, "Master, what should I do? What if Master Seventeen is really in danger? We are all thanks to Master Seventeen. He
But be sure nothing happens."
"I know." Ling Ruo was upset by her yelling, and she managed to calm down and said: "We will definitely not be able to leave the city at this time, but with the identity of the Seventeenth Master, it is still possible.
.”
Suoli thought of something and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the prince's token is here with me. Is it useful?"
Hearing that Yunli's token was here, Ling Ruo perked up, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Sori, you should immediately change into the prince's clothes, and then go to the city gate with the token.
As the prince, I force them to open the city gate. I believe that the officials guarding the city will betray the prince's face."
Suoli understood what she meant, but he said in confusion: "What do you mean by the empress, asking your subordinates to betray the prince? Can't you just go with the token?"
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "Just relying on a token may not make them obey orders, but it will be different if the Seventeenth Lord comes in person and has to leave the city immediately due to urgent matters."
"Well, I'm just going to change my clothes." Although Sori had never done such a thing, he didn't care much in order to save Yunli.
Because Ling Ruo was pregnant with Liujia, it was inconvenient to go with them, so she could only wait for them to come back in the inn. During the excruciating wait, Ling Ruo kept praying to God to bless Yunli and keep him safe.
In this life, she already owed many people, and she didn't want to add that elegant and gentle man to them.
Suoli led Ah Heng and others on horseback to the nearest city gate. As soon as he got close, he attracted the attention of the city guard. He held up a lantern and loudly said: "The city gate is closed. No one is allowed to enter or exit the city gate."
, retreat quickly."
Suoli reined in the horse's rope and raised his voice: "I am the king of Guo County at that time. I have important matters to leave the city. Please open the city gate as soon as possible. Don't miss my important matters!"
"King Guo?!" The city guards looked at each other in confusion, not knowing whether it was true or not. However, since the other party announced the name of Prince Guo, they did not dare to neglect. They walked down the tower with a lantern and said: "You said it was Prince Guo.
