Chapter 123 Inside Story

  Inside information

  "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to you." Gao Jin had barely spoken since the Emperor was poisoned and didn't dare look at him. The Emperor knew he wasn't suspicious of him, instead knocking away the bowl in his hand, making him feel moved from the heart and even more ashamed.

  It's rare to have a soulmate in life, but he destroyed everything with his own hands.

  "I don't blame you, I'm just afraid... that you resent me in your heart." The Emperor drank the new medicine brought over and his breathing improved a bit. He held onto Gao Jin's hand and refused to let go at all.

  "I'm not blaming you, I've never blamed you, I've always been willing." Tears streamed down Gao Jin's face.

  "That's good, you remember, I gave you the word 'Zi Yu', it was to make you fly high into the sky. I am the Emperor, you are my Prime Minister. We will be together for a lifetime..."

  "You be the Emperor, I'll be the Prime Minister..."

  "Master Shu, I want to go see Master for a while." Taking advantage of the emperor and the other two lowering their heads to talk, Yin Ruofei pulled on Rong Jingze's sleeve.

  "Huh?"

  "I think this poison, it seems that Master and I mentioned it once, but I don't have the antidote in my hands." The pulse of this poison is very strange, but Yin Ruofei's brain seems to have some impression. Speaking of which, for Rong Jingze, Han Susu has been studying toxicology all these years, but some poisons are even rarer and harder to find than antidotes, and Han Susu doesn't have them either. "The emperor's poison was suppressed by the elixir he took earlier, but this is not a long-term solution."

  "Xiao Fei, I'm going too." Gao Jin heard the conversation between the two and immediately looked up to say.

  "Senior brother, I'm not sure about Master's whereabouts, and it's hard for me to say if I can definitely find him." Yin Ruofei shook his head, "Your body is completely unable to withstand this."

  "No, I mean, I'm going back for the antidote." Gao Jin's soft voice sounded very firm.

  "Go back, it's not possible, it's too dangerous." The emperor was the first to object, and Rong Jingze also shook his head in opposition. This treacherous king is cunning and not someone ordinary people can deal with. Although Gao Jin is indeed clever and astute, if we're talking about being ruthless, he can't compare to those sinister and venomous tactics of the opposing king's faction.

  "Master Shu, Master Brother's body is not well and can't go, why don't you let Master Brother tell you the location, and you personally lead people to take a trip." Yin Ruofei's eyes lit up, Kong Jingze's kung fu he was very clear about, and wasn't afraid that anything unexpected would happen to him. Moreover, each of the 28 guards were masters, so stealing medicine shouldn't be a problem.

  "It's okay like this, but on your side..." Rong Jingze still didn't put his mind at ease about Yin Ruofei.

  "Don't worry, it's not dangerous on my end. Besides, Master came to me a few days ago and said he wanted to go to the grasslands to find a type of herb. The weather there is cold, so it's more suitable for me to go." Yin Ruofei was full of confidence, "Moreover, the rebel king doesn't know I'm going that way, so there's no danger."

  "Alright." Rong Jingze nodded. Although he was worried about Yin Ruofei, the Emperor's side couldn't be delayed for too long. "Lord Gao, please draw a detailed map for me."

  Time waits for no man, so the couple decided to set off that night. The Emperor was reluctant to part with his younger brother and felt indebted to the couple, holding onto Rong Jingze's hand for half a day without saying a word.

  "Your Majesty, if you truly don't want our efforts to be in vain, please take good care of your health, and take the medicine brewed by the imperial physician on time. Don't delay." After receiving the emperor's nod, Rong Jingze turned his head to look at Gao Jin, "I'll have to trouble Lord Gao with this matter."

  "Don't worry, leave it to me." Gao Jin promised solemnly.

  The two turned back to the Wang Fu, Rong Jingze arranged for some suitable people to stay behind and handle things conveniently, and then divided the remaining people into ordinary ones for Yin Ruofei.

  "No, I'm fine, it's you who are in danger. Let them follow you instead." Yin Ruo Fei shook her head and refused to let go.

  "Good boys, I can rest assured with you following him." Rong Jingze comforted in a soft voice.

  "But you're doing this, how can I be at ease?" Yin Ruofei said sternly, "Must my heart be hanging in the balance just to satisfy your wishes?"

  "I didn't mean it like that..." Rong Jingze was stunned by Yin Ruofei's theory for a moment.

  "If that's the case, you have your people and I have mine. If I find out you've sent them to spy on me here... " Yin Ruofei gritted her teeth, "I'd rather never see you again!"

  "Alright, alright, don't get angry." Rong Jingze really hated hearing this, "Bring all your people along, don't be afraid of having more men."

  "Okay. After dinner we'll set off."

  This meal was very simple, and there were only two people eating, Yin Ruofei and Rong Jingze.

  "Eat more, once you get to the grasslands there's nothing good to eat."

  "Master Uncle, you too. On the way, hurry up and be careful not to freeze, bring all the medicine pills that Master left behind, don't lose them." Yin Ruofei reminded him carefully, after so many years they had hardly ever been apart, even last time when Crown Prince Rong Zhongming used a little trick, it was only for a few days, and they were still in the capital.

  This time, they are acting separately, each going their own way, and won't be able to see each other for at least several months.

  "Take care, Master."

  "Fei'er, be careful, if you find Shixiong come back immediately." Rong Jingze was reluctant to part with her, his little lover, going out so far alone, how could he bear it! "If there's danger, nothing else matters, safety is the most important. Also, when you arrive at the grasslands, don't talk to Wen Qiang Lei!"

  "Got it." Yin Ruofei listened solemnly to Rong Jingze's instructions, and when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but laugh.

  Han Susen's letter arrived a few days ago, but because he was traveling, the two had already sent out their engagement letters, and Han Susen hadn't been able to return in time. He only expressed surprise in his letter, but acknowledged their relationship and stated that he was currently searching for a type of herb on the grasslands, which was crucial in treating Cui Jingze's cold poison.

  The prairie is vast and boundless. If you want to find a person, although it's not as difficult as finding a needle in the ocean, it's still not an easy task.

  In order to find Han Susen as soon as possible, Yin Ruofei's first thought was Wen Julei. As the former Prince of Daxue and now the new King of Daxue, his control over the grasslands exceeded his imagination. If he could get his help in finding him, it would definitely be a great advantage.

  At this time, Wen Kuo-li was drinking in his tent, having defeated the Chin State and captured a large amount of money and grain. The arrival of the first batch of goods from the trade agreement with Ta-lin also brought unprecedented prosperity to Da-yueh-shih.

  As the new king of Daming, Wen Tianxiang's reputation among the people became extremely high, and this throne was even more stable.

  The lives of the people are stable, with soft clothes and warm cotton, combined with their fur, this winter will definitely be very good. Not to mention that the Jin country was defeated, leaving behind enough food for them to eat for two years, this is destined to be a year of abundance.

  Receiving Yin Ruofei's letter, Wen Kui was overjoyed. He really liked this young man, and on the night of his wedding, he even got drunk to ignore the empty feeling in his heart.

  Now that Ben should be with that bastard Wang Ye, why did Xiao Fei suddenly come to find him? Did the two of them have a fight? Or did he see an opportunity?

  Wen Juanli was full of hope for Yin Ruofei's arrival, and even had someone go find the mushrooms that Little Fei loved to eat, as well as his favorite wild goat.

  After a journey of ten days, Yin Ruofei and his party finally arrived at the grassland. The news about Han Susu came from Dayue's side, although Yin Ruofei also asked Bianjiang Guardian to help search for her on this side of Dalin, but nothing was found. After resting in Bianjiang for half a day, Yin Ruofei brought people to Dayue.

  "Xiao Fei, my brother!" Wen Junli heard that Yin Ruofei had arrived and personally came out to greet him. He jumped off his horse from a distance and ran towards Yin Ruofei.

  Yin Ruofei looked at his passionate appearance and had no choice but to jump off the horse, only to be hugged tightly. Before he could even protest, Wen Jinglei hugged him and kissed him hard on the forehead. "I'm going crazy!"

  "Hey!" Yin Ruofei loudly protested, seeing that she couldn't push him away, and could only reluctantly let him kiss her, "What are you doing?!"

  "This is the passion of our grassland Han people, you misunderstood me!" Wen Junli's face was hurt, seeing Yin Ruofei looking at him with a contemptuous gaze, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "Look, your family's scoundrel isn't around, I'll take advantage of it to get close to you."

  Wen Kui Li was a straightforward person. After he finished speaking, Yin Ru Fei couldn't help but want to laugh. "Brother Wen, the matter I asked you to handle, is there any progress?"

  "I'm still helping you look, but as you know, my Dà Yuè family may not have many people and can't be considered a big country, but the area is not small. This place is vast and sparsely populated, with many areas that no one has ever visited. If your master came to find herbs, it must be a place where few people have been, making it even harder to search." Wēn Jūn Lí expressed some apology, this being the first time Xiǎo Fēi had asked him for help, but he couldn't help mentioning the difficulties and troubles involved.

  "I understand, thank you, Wen Ge." Yin Ruofei nodded in understanding, but he was anxious in his heart. If he could find the antidote one step ahead, then Shifu wouldn't have to take risks. After all, that traitor king wasn't someone easy to deal with, and after so many years of preparation, they were supposed to take him down in one move. But now, they had taken a stand on the surface, while their enemy was still hiding in the shadows, which was very disadvantageous.

  "Xiao Fei, don't be in a hurry, just stay here with me. I've prepared some wild goat meat and that kind of mushroom you said you liked last time." Wen Jiaoli looked at Yin Ruofei's low mood and felt anxious, so she quickly changed the subject.

  "Really? That's great. I had it once before and couldn't forget about it. Wen Ge, are you preparing a lot of food? I can eat a lot." Fortunately, Yin Ruofei really liked to eat, so when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and these things didn't come in a hurry, so there was no need for him to worry.

  "Don't worry, I can provide for you, even if you stay with me for the rest of your life." Wen Jiaoluo was a straightforward person and accidentally spoke his mind. Yin Ruofei was taken aback, and Wen Jiaoluo also rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. After all, Yin Ruofei was already married to someone else. That rascal Wang Ye might be a scoundrel, but he wasn't a bad person and could even be considered one of his good brothers. It was clear that he had suspicions of flirting with his friend's wife.

  "Wen Ge, eat meat..." Yin Ruofei also felt his face burning slightly. Although he didn't consider himself a woman, having a man say such romantic words to him made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

  "Ah, okay, I still have some good wine, I'll go get it." Wen Jinglei saw Yin Ruofei's face turn red and suddenly felt dry mouthed, getting up to fetch the wine, also dispersing this atmosphere.
