498 The neglected father

"Dad, have you really seen him?" Xu Mingyi asked hurriedly.

It is said that this plant grows in the land of Mobei, and it can take at least several decades to form a single plant and be used as medicine, so it is extremely rare and precious. In her previous life, she had only seen it in medical books. If it hadn't been for Divine Doctor Qiu telling her

Having seen this thing before, she even thought it was just a rumor.

Therefore, although Qiao Bingying's poison cannot be said to be incurable in the true sense, it is almost close to incurable!

As for something so rarely known, my father, an outsider, would probably know very little about it——

"I vaguely remember that I have an impression..." Xu Jin's eyebrows tightened and he murmured: "Ganoderma lucidum... Ganoderma lucidum, have you seen it somewhere..."

"A rare item that can leave an impression on my eldest brother..." Xu Yun on the side reminded him and asked: "Could it have appeared in the Ministry of Rites?"

My brother has been working in the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette for many years, and the job of being in charge of the Host and Guest Department is to interact with foreign vassals and neighboring countries. What my brother usually does is drafting documents and formulating gift lists.

"...Yes, yes!" Xu Jin suddenly slapped his forehead, which was still clear, and said: "Last year...it seems that among the tributes given by the Mo tribe, there seems to be this Ganoderma lucidum!"

"Desert tribe?" Xu Mingyi was refreshed.

Her father forced Wen Boji to say "it seems", but if he wasn't 90% sure it would never be like this——

Moreover, Ganoderma lucidum is indeed only found in Mobei. If the Mo tribe pays tribute, then it is probably correct!

"I'll look through it again when I go to the Ministry of Etiquette tomorrow..." Xu Jin recalled, but couldn't help but worry: "I vaguely remember that it was sent to the prince for recuperation, so I don't know if it is still there now..."

Xu Mingyi said: "This medicine has very strong medicinal properties. His Royal Highness was born with a weak body, and his body was particularly depleted. Therefore, he could only recuperate slowly, but he could not tolerate such a powerful tonic. I don't think the imperial doctors dared to use it casually as medicine."

.”

It was just sent as tribute last year, so it may still be in the palace!

"If we are really in the palace, now we can only outwit her secretly, but not openly." Xu Yun said, looking at his niece with an anxious look in his eyes.

According to their status in the government of the country, and their father is currently away fighting for Daqing, if they find an excuse to ask the emperor for a medicine, the emperor has no reason not to give it -

But this might make the emperor suspicious.

If the father is really poisoned, then whether they are targeted by the suspicious emperor or put in danger because of it, these are of course nothing worth mentioning compared with the father's safety——

But these troubles are secondary.

I was afraid that the emperor would guess their true intention of asking for medicine, and then manipulate them to obstruct the matter, thus making the situation more chaotic, and in the end, the opportunity to detoxify my father might be delayed.

Xu Mingyi nodded: "What the second uncle said is absolutely true."

This matter can only be started from the palace.

But the palace is not the place where their government can really exert their strength——

"I'll go find Wu Chao to discuss this matter." The girl said decisively.

This matter is extremely urgent. You should not try to be strong at this time, and there is no need to try to be so pointless.

Whoever has the ability to do a thing will do it.

"That's fine." Xu Jin didn't stop his daughter. He had never been a pedantic person. Even if his father was at odds with King Dingnan again, if he didn't try to save his life first, how would he have the strength to quarrel with King Dingnan in the future?

Xu Mingyi explained: "It's just that this prescription still needs to be copied and sent to Dongyuan City immediately——"

If there is no accident, Divine Doctor Qiu should be arriving at Dongyuan City in a few days. Her preparation of the antidote may not go smoothly, and if the antidote can be delivered to Divine Doctor Qiu as soon as possible, even if she finds it

If Ganoderma lucidum is not available, the miracle doctor may be able to come up with other medicinal materials that can replace one or two. Even if it cannot detoxify, it is still good to postpone it temporarily.

"Leave this matter to me and your second uncle." Xu Jin looked at his daughter and said, "If Wu Shisun refuses to agree to help, I will secretly try to see Wu Shizi and ask him for help."

It's all for my father, there's nothing I can't do to save face.

"...?" Xu Yun turned to look at his brother in confusion.

‘What if Wu Shisun refuses to agree to help’?

Co-author...Brother doesn't know yet?

Thinking about how the boy from the Wu family couldn't look more natural when he called him second uncle that day, Xu Yun couldn't help but think - he might have already called him father-in-law in his heart, but the father-in-law didn't know that he had already done so.

son in law……

With this attitude, my brother will be shocked when he comes to propose marriage in the future.

Looking at his father's worried and solemn eyes, Xu Mingyi also felt dazed for a moment.

Perhaps because she had never deliberately concealed anything from her family, she subconsciously thought that everyone in her family already knew about it.

It was she who ignored her father again.

But what somewhat alleviated her guilt was that she was obviously not the only one who ignored her father.

And now is not the right time to suddenly talk about this matter, so I can only nod and say: "Don't worry, father, we will definitely negotiate a deal."

Looking at his daughter's back as she turned away, Xu Jin always felt that the message in her daughter's eyes was not simple.

The girl with a slender but straight back strode out of the front hall and walked into the steaming heat.

At the same moment, outside Dongyuan City, which is adjacent to the Li tribe, there was a scene of heavy rain. The rain and fog blurred the outline of the mountains, and also shrouded Anza's military camp here in a haze.

In the heavy rain, a group of people was approaching the coach's military tent.

The leader is nearly sixty years old, but his body is still as straight as a mountain while sitting on the horse. The rainwater slides through the cold black armor, making his whole body look even more majestic and inviolable - it is this majestic aura that makes him look more majestic and inviolable.

With the title of General Xu, when the two armies were fighting, the enemy's morale collapsed halfway through the battle.

The soldiers guarding the military tent saw this group of men and horses, and before they got close, they stepped forward to greet them and saluted: "General!"

Although there has been no more fighting in recent days, the general goes out to train the soldiers in person every day. It must have been because of the heavy rain that he came back early today.

The group of men and horses tightened their reins and reined in their horses. Qin Wu jumped off the horse first and wanted to step forward to lead the horse for his general.

When he turned around, he saw his general sitting on the horse's back without moving for a moment, but his figure seemed a little unstable.

The rain was like a curtain. Qin Wuyi couldn't see clearly the expression of his general, but he instinctively noticed something strange. Before he could say "general", he saw the tall figure on the horse suddenly tilted down to one side——

"General!" Qin Wu's pupils tightened and he immediately stepped forward.

However, it was half a step too late.

Duke Zhen Guo fell off his horse, and his heavy iron armor hit the gravel used to pave the way under his feet, making an ear-splitting sound.
