Seeing that he didn't ask anything, he described Xianyue's symptoms in detail. Hongli's heart ignited hope and said eagerly: "Since you know that the queen has been poisoned, and you can name the poison, you must know how to treat it."
As long as you can save the queen, no matter what your request is, I will agree to it!"
Tao An thought about it and said, "I do know how to cure malnutrition. The medicine required is not difficult, but it is difficult to obtain the medicine alone."
Hearing that there was a cure, Hongli perked up and immediately said, "What kind of medicine is it? Tell me quickly!"
"The malnutrition Gu likes things with strong qi and blood. Among all things in the world, the one with the strongest qi and blood is the tiger, the king of beasts. If you want to lure the malnutrition Gu out, the medicine is the tiger heart taken from the living tiger.
!" After a pause, he said: "Based on the Queen's pulse condition and the medicine I prescribed, she can still last for six hours at most. That is to say, at dawn tomorrow, if there is no more tiger's heart, even if the immortal descends to earth, she will still be alive.
We can’t save her!”
Yong Zhang looked embarrassed and said: "But the weather is cold now. Although the tiger does not hibernate, the time for activities has been reduced a lot. Plus, there is only one night, so how can it be done in time?"
Tao An said coldly: "Then there is nothing we can do. I have told you everything I know. If you can't get it, it will be the fate of the Queen!"
"No, you can definitely get it!" After saying this, Hongli said: "Publish my decree and order all the guards, officers, and soldiers who can be mobilized to hunt in the mountains outside the city. If anyone can hunt a tiger, he will be an officer immediately.
Upgrade to level three and get a bounty of one thousand taels!"
"I will go down immediately to convey the order." Before Si Xi could leave, Hong Zhou suddenly said: "Your Majesty, my brother is willing to go together, hoping to hunt tigers and treat the Queen."
Hongli thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's night again when hunting in the mountains. I'm afraid there may be danger, so you'd better stay here."
"My brother can't help much by staying here. It's better to go to the mountain. Maybe I can help!" As he said, he cupped his hands and said: "The Queen is a virtuous woman. I want to do my best for her. I beg the emperor to help you."
!”
Seeing that Hong Zhou had decided to leave, Hong Li nodded and said, "Okay then, be careful."
After he finished speaking, Yongzhang suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I also want to go hunting together in the mountains."
Hongli immediately objected: "No, it is very dangerous to go this time. You are still young, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect yourself."
Yongzhang knelt down and said in a choked voice: "The emperor's mother has always regarded her son as her own son. Now her life and death are uncertain. If my son does nothing, how can he be worthy of being a son of a human being? I also ask the emperor to give him a filial piety."
opportunity.”
His sincere and sincere words moved Hongli quite a lot, and he said: "I and the Queen both know that you are filial, but this trip is very dangerous, but..."
Yongzhang said anxiously: "My son, don't be afraid. Besides, my fifth uncle and many guards are here. I believe they can protect my son and everything will be fine."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Hongli relented and said, "Well, follow your fifth uncle closely and don't act alone."
Yongzhang quickly nodded in agreement. Among the people, the one who knows Yongzhang's thoughts best is Yongxuan. He knows that Yongzhang will definitely not take risks for her because of his misunderstanding and hatred of Xianyue. There will be something wrong with this trip.
With an ulterior motive, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, my son and I also want to go."
Hongli categorically objected: "It is already very dangerous for Yongzhang to go here. You are two years younger than him, how can you go!"
Yongxun said quickly: "I have always practiced bow and arrow diligently, so I can protect myself. Emperor Ama..."
Before he could finish speaking, Hongli already said: "Anyway, you are not allowed to go, so you can stay here."
"But..." When Yongxun was about to say more, Yongzhang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, fourth brother, I will definitely be able to hunt the tiger and save the Queen!"
It's just because you're gone that I'm worried! Yongxuan said in his heart, but Hongli still refused to agree to go with him, but Yongzhang was right next to him, so he couldn't remind Hongzhou and could only worry secretly.
They had already left the palace in the afternoon, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Ama, I will send my fifth uncle and third brother to hunt tigers."
After saying this, he ran out quickly, ran all the way to Hong Zhou, took his hand and said: "Fifth uncle, you must take the tiger's heart to save the emperor's mother, nothing can happen to her."
In the early dark night, Hong Zhou's expression was a little strange, because Yong Xun's little finger was writing quickly in his palm, and his little... heart... Yong...
"Fourth brother, please go back. My fifth uncle and I have to take people up the mountain quickly. If we delay for a moment longer, the emperor's mother will be in more danger." In order to avoid Yongzhang's suspicion, Yongxun let go of his hand and looked up at Hong Zhou.
, with complicated eyes, he said: "I'll leave everything to my fifth uncle."
"Don't worry." After saying this, Hong Zhou strode away, but in his heart, he was always thinking about the three words written by Yongxun just now - Be careful with Yong.
Yongxun wanted to remind himself to be careful about someone, Yong...could it be Yongzhang? Only Yongzhang was there just now, and the only one who followed him up the mountain had Yong in his name and was acquainted with Yongxun.
Yes, because Yongzhang was right next to him, Yongxun had to use this method to convey the message. But he and Yongzhang had always been good friends, so why did he do this?
Is it possible that... Yongzhang would be detrimental to him? But he is Yongzhang's elder, and there is no dispute between them. Why should Yongzhang be detrimental to him?
Until they left the city and went up the mountain, this question was still not solved. Hong Zhou had to put it aside for the time being and concentrate on looking for the tiger. In order to avoid alerting the tiger, they did not light the torch. With the help of the torch and the faint moonlight, they
Groping forward in the dark.
The hundreds of people who had gathered temporarily were divided into several groups, and they searched for tiger traces in the stretching mountains and forests, using fireworks as signals. Hong Zhou and Yong Zhang led dozens of people to walk cautiously, and found many along the way.
There are no traces of hares, wild foxes, or tigers.
As they walked up the mountainside, a guard suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, please come and take a look."
Hong Zhou hurriedly followed the instructions and saw the guard squatting on the ground. With the light of Huozhezi, he could see a series of footsteps on the ground. The guard said: "When I was in my hometown, I saw tiger footprints, which are similar to this one."
Likewise, if you follow this set of footprints, you may be able to find the tiger."
Hong Zhou nodded and said: "Okay, just follow these footprints. Everyone should wake up and be on guard. In addition, remember not to kill them. Only the heart of a living tiger can save them."
The Queen!"
The guards quickly agreed, clenching the swords and arrows in their hands and following Hong Zhou in the direction of the tiger's seal. After walking about a few hundred steps, the footprints suddenly stopped at a cave.
