"Be a beast! No matter what, I won't look back, let's go!" Liu Huo rose into the air, landed behind Luo Lianyi, grabbed the riding whip from her hand, and threw it down.
The ancient road is filled with dust and smoke, gradually getting further and further away, heading south...
Liu Hongjing fainted on his horse. The guards did not dare to pursue him anymore and had to escort him back to the palace.
Due to his illness, he was unconscious for several days without water or rice. Concubine Xue Shu was so anxious that she could not contact the prince. Fortunately, this morning, he finally woke up. His cheekbones were sunken and his eyes were blind.
The light has completely lost its former glory.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Xue Shu had been serving him for several days without taking off her clothes. She was also very thin and haggard. When she saw that the Emperor finally woke up, she was so excited that she burst into tears.
"Concubine Shu, thank you for your hard work." Liu Hongjing looked at her for a while, then raised his hand tremblingly and placed it on Concubine Xue Shu's thin face.
"It's not hard, just wake up the emperor. I'm so anxious." Concubine Xue Shu said, wiping her tears.
Liu Hongjing put down his hand and sighed heavily.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The Crown Prince has gone out to look for the antidote. Once the Crown Prince finds the antidote, we can go and bring Lianyi back. Therefore, the Emperor must take care of the dragon body and reunite with the princess." Concubine Xue Shu said with a sob.
Liu Hongjing looked at the ceiling of the tent, nodded, and tears flowed down his ears.
Concubine Xue Shu ordered the palace maid to bring him hot porridge, helped him up, and carefully fed him spoonful by spoonful.
"I wonder where the prince is now." Liu Hongjing sighed.
"I sent people out of the palace to investigate, but there was no news about the prince," Concubine Xue Shu said.
"He must be avoiding me on purpose. I don't understand his thoughts."
Concubine Xue Shu glanced at him and sighed softly.
"Shu Fei, am I wrong?" Liu Hongjing asked.
Concubine Xue Shu shook her head: "How could the emperor be wrong? The emperor has been looking forward to this person for so many years, but she has not yet understood the emperor's heart. When she understands in the future, she will definitely come to you."
Liu Hongjing finally had a smile and a trace of longing on his face. From that day on, his body gradually recovered.
And Liu Fan has now reached the westernmost part of Xiling. This is an inaccessible place with rolling mountains, towering into the clouds, and bottomless canyons everywhere.
He was not alone, there was another person following behind him, with fluttering white clothes and beautiful appearance, it was Bai Liang.
It turned out that after Liu Fan left the palace, he met Bai Liang who was entering the city before he left the imperial capital. He asked her why she came, but she didn't tell her why. After Liu Fan walked for a while, she unexpectedly followed her quietly.
After Liu Fan found out, she simply made her request clear and wanted to go with him to find an antidote for the princess.
"Your Highness, this is the ninety-ninth canyon we are going down to." When Bai Liang released his grip on the vines and jumped into the misty canyon, he said to Liu Fan who had come down earlier.
Liu Fan looked solemn, said nothing, and walked towards the depths of the canyon.
"Your Highness, be careful." Bai Berry followed closely behind him.
"Be careful, don't run around." Liu Fan saw the thick fog in the canyon and couldn't see the road clearly, so he stopped and warned him. He spoke very little along the way, only one short sentence, which to Bai Liang's ears sounded like
Tianlai and Liufan had already moved forward, but she was still looking at his back in a daze.
"Bai Berry! Come here quickly! Come and see this?" Liu Fan suddenly shouted in surprise, and Bai Berry hurriedly ran over.
On the overgrown ground, there was a weed with spiky leaves. Liu Fan took out a medical book from his arms, turned to the leaf of Netherworld Grass, and squatted down to compare it carefully.
"Exactly the same! Your Highness the Crown Prince! We have found the Netherworld Grass! We have found the Netherworld Grass!" Baiberry caressed the grass with her fingers and said excitedly to Liu Fan.
"It's really it! It's really right! I finally found it!" Liu Fan's voice trembled with excitement.
"Your Highness! Does this kind of grass need to be used to cure poison? Then let's take it back quickly! Look, there are several more here!" White Berry jumped for joy.
"No, the medical book says that you must find a kind of snake growing next to the Netherworld Grass, and use the venom of this snake to detoxify." | Liu Fan said.
"Still looking for snakes? Can snake venom be used as an antidote?" Bai Berry asked puzzledly.
"Heart-eating Powder is originally made from Netherworld Grass. Its poison can only be detoxified with the venom of Netherworld Snakes that grow next to it and feed on it. This is also the principle that all things in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other." Liu Fan explained.
, while pushing through the grass, looking for any snake holes nearby.
"Both are highly poisonous. Is this considered fighting fire with poison?" Bai Berry asked.
"It should be. You have to be careful. This kind of snake is very venomous. Be careful of being hurt by it when it suddenly comes out." Liu Fan warned.
"Well, Your Highness, be careful too." Bai Berry replied softly.
The two of them almost crawled on the grass, looking for traces of the Nether Snake. However, they searched for a long time and found nothing.
"Bai Berry, are you hungry? Eat something first, rest for a while and then look for it." Liu Fan stood up straight and said to Bai Berry.
"Okay." Bai Li also stood up, took off the baggage from his shoulders, took out the dry food and water, and handed one to Liu Fan.
The two of them found a stone to sit down and started eating. Baimei sat next to Liu Fan, keeping his eyes on him.
He was darker and thinner, and a beard had grown on his cheeks, but his handsomeness and determination had not changed at all, and he was more mature and charming than before. His hair was a little messy because of running around, and she suddenly had the urge to comb it for him.
.
Liu Fan suddenly turned his head and saw her looking at him blankly. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Did I eat very awkwardly?"
"No," Bai Liang's snow-white face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, can I comb your hair?"
Seeing her expression, Liu Fan stood up with a hearty smile and said, "Haha, no need. If a man is a little messy, wouldn't he be more rough and unruly?" He knew Bai Berry's affection for him, so he always followed the etiquette towards her along the way.
, without any intimate words or deeds.
Bai Berry's head lowered even lower. She tugged on the corner of her clothes and did not answer Lu Fan's words. She was chasing him from the south. She followed him all the way. She always longed for him to look at her.
, but his eyes had never been focused on her face. Although he was close at hand, his alienation always made her feel that he was far away and out of reach.
Liu Fan left on his own and continued to look for a snake hole in the grass. Bai Berry sat there for a while, then stood up and walked towards him.
Time passed little by little, but the two of them gained nothing. It was getting dark, and they had to stop searching.
"It's suddenly very cold, Your Highness." Bai Liang shuddered. It became dark immediately, and the temperature in the canyon dropped suddenly.
"I'm going to find some trees and let's make a fire. There might be poisonous beasts in this valley, so we have to be careful at all times," Liu Fan said.
