Daughter, you have to pay after eating
The glint of the blade flashed before Han Xi's eyes, also making her heart skip a beat. She saw Qing Mei with a desperate look on his face, and he quickly pulled out a dagger, about to slash it across his own neck.
Because she has followed you all her life, now that you are no longer alive, what is the point of her remaining in this world!?
Death is the best liberation for her!
Actually, what she hated most was this woman in front of her! However, even if she hated her to the bone, hated her so much that she wanted to die, but she still didn't want to kill her!
Because if she dies, Your Highness will be with her in the afterlife, and at that time, there won't be a place for me.
Even if she couldn't be with His Highness while alive, even in death, she wanted to stay by his side, just like before...
Just as Qing Mei was about to take her own life in despair, Han Xi suddenly came back to his senses and saw her. He was shocked and immediately took action, swiftly stopping the sharp dagger that was about to be pressed against Qing Mei's neck.
"Green plum, what are you doing? Quickly put down the dagger!"
Han Xi's eyes widened and her eyebrows furrowed in concern as she exclaimed and stopped Qing Mei from doing something foolish.
Qing Mei's arm was tightly grasped by Han Xi Tong, trying to shake off Han Xi Tong's hand, but unfortunately, Han Xi Tong's strength was too great, making her unable to move. She cried even harder.
"Let go of me and let me die. In any case, with you being like this, I'm better off dead... Dying would be a relief..."
Every day she is worried that Your Highness will really stop breathing, and every day she cannot eat or sleep well. It's better to take a step back now and wait for Your Highness in the underworld to serve him again.
Seeing Qing Mei like this, Han Xi's heart was shocked.
After all, in this world, such a devoted woman is hard to come by. Therefore, she absolutely cannot be allowed to die!
Because that would only make her feel more guilty, if it weren't for her drinking that bowl of immortal grass, Xuan Mei Chen would have been saved by now...
Just as Han Xi Tong and Qing Mei were together, tugging at each other, a hoarse old voice suddenly rang out.
"Green braids, what are you doing?!"
The hoarse voice outside the door startled both people in the room, and Han Xi also took advantage of the opportunity to snatch the dagger from Qing Mei's hand.
But Qing Mei's face froze when she saw the person outside the door, and then, as if she had thought of something, her originally desperate little face suddenly rose with a glimmer of hope, and without caring that the dagger had been taken away, she rushed towards the old man outside the door.
"Li Daifu, is it you? You've come! Have you thought of a way to save the princess?"
When Qingmei finished speaking, Han Xi's face also showed a momentary stunned expression, and then she turned her head to look at the old man outside the door.
A thick and sturdy deerskin, white hair, over sixty years old, yet still spirited, upon hearing Qing Mei's words, Han Xi Tong also knew the identity of the visitor.
Because I once heard Qingmei say that the sleeping poison on Xuan's body was always taken care of by Dr. Li.
Li Dafu was originally a royal physician in the palace, and had previously received favors from Concubine Rong. Although Concubine Rong did not dote on this child, perhaps Li Dafu, having no children of his own, treated Xuan Mo Chen as half a son. Therefore, he took great care of Xuan Mo Chen.
For eight years, Li Dafu traveled throughout the Tianxuan Imperial Court, only to find an antidote for Xuan Mei Chen. The so-called "doctor's heart is like a parent's" refers to people like Li Dafu.
Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes were filled with admiration for this elderly man.
On the other side, Li Dafu, who had also grown up with her since childhood, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As someone who has been through it herself, she naturally understands this young lady's feelings towards the Sixth Prince. Unfortunately, the flower has fallen and the water has flowed away...
However, he didn't indulge in sentimentality for long and seeing Qing Mei's anxious expression, he told her everything he knew.
Han Xi Tong also stood on one side and listened quietly.
It turned out that Li Dafu had originally completely lost hope for Xuan Mei Chen and was extremely sad in his heart.
After all, he is also a child who grew up watching him being tortured by sleep poison, and it's natural to feel heartache.
He finally got the Tian Shan snow lotus, but unexpectedly, the immortal grass that Jing Mei Chen had been planting in her room was gone, so he also thought that Jing Mei Chen was beyond salvation...
When Han Xi heard Li Daifu's words, she finally knew that the 'grass' planted in a precious pot on the table, which she had inadvertently seen here last time, was actually the rare and precious Xianren grass.
At that time, she was still puzzled and had a feeling of devouring the heavens. After all, such a precious flower pot would be worth tens of millions in modern auctions!
However, at that time she knew about the existence of Xianren Grass, but didn't know what it looked like. Now, she finally knows...
What a pity...
At the same time, Li Dafu unexpectedly found out about the whereabouts of the Xianren grass today, so he immediately sent someone to investigate. He also rushed here quickly, with two purposes: one was to check on Zhen Meicheng's body, and the other was that he secretly feared this lovesick fool would do something stupid again. As it turned out, his guess was correct.
Having seen Qing Mei's frantic appearance just now, Doctor Li also sighed in his heart, and he hurried over so hastily, which was not wrong!
I don't know what Doctor Li is thinking, but Qing Mei only knows that the prince might be saved, so she anxiously pulls on Doctor Li's sleeve.
"Li Dafu, now that the immortal grass has fallen down, let's quickly send someone to retrieve it!"
"Don't worry, Qing Yaotou, the person I sent out will be back soon."
Seeing Qingmei's anxious appearance, Li Daifu comfortingly patted her back lightly to calm her down.
While Qing Mei heard Li Daifu's words, her originally excited mood finally slowly calmed down, however, a face still couldn't hide the anxiety.
Just then, a young medicine boy hastily came before Dr. Li.
This young man is a disciple of Li Daifu, and just now it was also Li Daifu who asked him to go and investigate the news about the immortal grass.
So when the medicine boy appeared, Li Daifu and Qingmei immediately surrounded him, and even Han Xi couldn't help but feel anxious and walked over.
"How's the little medicine, is it effective?"
"Master, I understand about the falling of the immortal grass, but..."
Xiao Yao's face showed a difficult expression in response to Li Daifu's question.
The green plum beside him couldn't help but look anxious and pulled Xiao Yao aside to ask.
"But what's going on? You're not saying anything, just half of it! The prince is still waiting for the immortal grass to rescue him!"
Seeing Qing Mei holding onto his arm, Xiao Yao's cheeks flushed with a faint red as he was originally sweating profusely from rushing around.
Because he has liked her for many years, but she just doesn't feel the same way.
In Ume's heart, there has always been only one person... His Highness...
Just as Xiao Yao sighed in his heart, under Qing Mei's anxious expression, it seemed extremely difficult to say the last sentence.
"Moss, now in Death Valley..."
"What?!"
When he heard Xiao Yao's words, Li Dafu, who was originally calm and composed, couldn't remain calm anymore. His eyes widened in shock, and his face turned pale. Seeing Li Dafu's shocked expression, Qing Mei and Han Xi naturally didn't know the reason, but seeing Li Dafu's shocked look, their hearts skipped a beat, and they felt a sense of unease rising up.
"Li Dafu, what exactly is this Death Valley?"
Han Xi Tong, who had been silent all along, was now unable to remain calm and asked in doubt.
When he heard Han Xi Tong's words, Li Daifu finally came back to his senses from his shock.
When he saw Han Xi's delicate face and worried expression beside him, although he had never seen her before, he vaguely guessed her identity.
After all, the immortal grass he had worked hard to get was always planted in the room by Jing Mei Chen, because the immortal grass had a calming effect and could also suppress the sleep toxin when placed beside him.
However, this immortal grass is too rare and precious, fearing that if it gets out, people will come to steal it. So, in the other courtyard, only Jing Mei Chen, Li Daifu, and Qingmei, who has been serving Jing Mei Chen, know about it. It's placed in Jing Mei Chen's room, disguised as an ordinary 'grass', but actually it's the immortal grass!
Never thought that the Angel Grass I had been carefully planting all along would be used on this woman in the end...
As for this matter, Li Daifu was angry in his heart. After all, he had been working hard for so long just to cure the prince's sleep poison...
However, he also knew that this was a decision made by the young master. So, after Li Daifu let out a deep sigh, he slowly dispelled the doubts of Han Xiulian and the others.
"As I know it, Death Valley is where the eccentric doctor Qing Ru Feng resides. Inside, there are layers of mechanisms and numerous venomous snakes and ferocious beasts. Many people who have tried to enter Death Valley never return..."
After listening to Dr. Li's detailed explanation, Han Xi also finally remembered who this gentle as the wind was.
It was on a day when they were out hunting in autumn that Xiang Shaoyan had also told her about this incident as light as the wind.
He is said to be as gentle as a breeze, but the world calls him a strange doctor!
What's weird is that he has excellent medical skills, surpassing Hua Tuo, but his temper is explosive like a lion, unpredictable. If you want him to save someone, just look at whether he's in a good mood that day!
Moreover, his identity is mysterious and his whereabouts are unknown, many people have looked for him but can't find him.
Li Dafu knew that Death Valley was a light-as-wind old nest, or it was learned unintentionally at some point.
After all, Li Dafu is also a doctor, and for this medically skilled strange doctor, he has been admired for a long time, so he carefully paid attention to the strange doctor's trail.
And as for this strange doctor Light Yagami, he is both loved and hated. Although he has the ability to save people, he does not want to save them.
So when he heard that this Angel's Trumpet was in Death Valley, Li Daifu's heart turned cold.
Because even if everyone knows that this immortal grass is in the Death Valley, however, no one dares to go in and ask for it. After all, everyone knows about the legend of the Death Valley, fearing that they will not be able to get the medicine and instead lose their own lives.
When Mr. Li finished speaking, Qing Mei's small face, which was originally full of hope, turned white again in an instant, and finally collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Xiao Yao's eyes were quick and she rushed to support her in time.
And when Xiao Yao touched Qing Mei's arm, that face which was only considered delicate became red like a monkey's buttocks.
But at this moment, the crowd with a gloomy face naturally did not notice.
"It's all over, Your Highness... this time it's... all over..."
Li Dafu also let out a helpless sigh at the desperation of Qing Mei.
As for Han Xi Tong, after listening to Doctor Li's words, she remained silent with her head hung low.
Her eyes drooped slightly, and the long eyelashes completely covered the expression in her eyes, so that no one could guess what she was thinking.
It wasn't until much later that those slightly closed eyes were lifted again.
Her eyes sparkled for a moment, and at the bottom of her eyes, a firm determination burst out in an instant, as if she had already made some resolute decision!
The resolute light flickering in her eyes is like the brightest star on a dark night, beautiful and refreshing!
"Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I'll definitely seize this sacred herb!"
Even if she knew that Death Valley was fraught with danger and that once she went in, there might be no return, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would never give up!
Xuan Mei Chen, she will definitely make him wake up again! Definitely!
……
"How's the plan going?"
A cold voice, as if drifting from the nine hells, devoid of warmth!
It was dusk, and the wind and snow outside had stopped, but the temperature was still cold enough to penetrate to the bone.
The sunset was obscured by thick dark clouds, the entire sky presented a gloomy scene, dense clouds pressed down low, enveloping the whole world.
The wind and snow are merciless, the white snow is bright and clean, a strong and handsome man stands quietly by the window.
The carved window was wide open, and the cold northwest wind kept howling in. Even with a stove in the house, it couldn't withstand the torture of the cold wind.
The room was lit by a single wick lamp, illuminating the entire space with clarity.
That dim yellow light spilled softly on the man's body, outlining his lonely yet majestic figure.
A close-fitting black dress, outlining that robust and sturdy physique honed from years of exercise.
Broad shoulders, long legs, a head of black hair like a waterfall, all tied up with black satin, setting off a face that is cold and intimidating!
The man in black stood by the window, standing against the wind, and was completely unaware of the biting cold wind that kept pouring in from outside.
That one face, as if carved by the gods with a ghostly axe, made him look even more stern and extraordinary.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his thin lips stood upright, his eagle eyes were cold and stern, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura that didn't match his age. His eagle eyes glanced around, full of the kind of gloomy and sinister air that only the King of Hell had, making people's hearts tremble with fear!
At this moment, those deep and cold eagle eyes were quietly falling on a certain place outside, looking at the icy sky and snowy land outside. The man's eyes gradually floated up with a layer of blur, his thoughts began to wander, and a distant scene gradually appeared in front of him -
In a very dilapidated thatched cottage, there was a boy who was thinly dressed in tattered clothes and had a small head, as if he could be blown away by the wind.
Waxy complexion, obvious malnutrition. However, at that time, the little boy had a big smile on his face, and with a treasured look, he handed over two small sweet potatoes, about the size of eggs, which he had dug up in the morning, to a similarly shabbily dressed woman with a waxy complexion, saying with a smile.
"Mom, this is the sweet potato I just dug up. Later we can cook it and eat it, so we won't go hungry."
The little boy laughed with great joy, but in fact at that time, his laughter was forced.
Because, in order to dig these two sweet potatoes, his hands were frozen stiff and his fingers cracked. However, due to the extreme cold, it seemed as if the blood had also congealed, not even bleeding out, just swelling up red.
Those ten short and small fingers were then swollen like those two thin sweet potatoes.
However, at that time, even if the little boy was in extreme pain, he would not utter a word in front of his mother.
Because if he showed a hint of pain, his mother would be even more heartbroken.
His mother has suffered enough for him already.
Because he was born with a poor body and would get sick every few days, all the money at home was spent.
His mother got up every day before dawn to help others pour night soil, wash clothes, and carry goods at the dock with those rough men.
Originally plump and pretty face, gradually became haggard. At that time, a fat woman often came to their home, the fat woman dressed in heavy makeup, the pungent rouge could be smelled even from several streets away.
Every time, that fat woman would persuade Mother to go to the Yihong Courtyard, it's better than doing these rough jobs now, but Mother refused every time.
Mother said she didn't want her son to be ashamed of having a mother like her!
Although at that time he didn't know what Yihongyuan was, but also knew that his mother had sacrificed a lot for him...
So every time he sees his mother so busy and hardworking, he will firmly tell her.
"When I grow up, I must earn a lot of money and let mom have the best life!"
His mother would smile and cry every time she heard his words, then look at him with a complex gaze, touch his head and sigh softly.
"My son will definitely be an extraordinary person in the future, and should live a wonderful life..."
At that time, he didn't understand what his mother meant. It wasn't until later, when he finally understood, that it was the moment his mother left this world.
At that time, he was only eight years old and knelt down beside his mother's bed to learn about his own life.
It turned out that his own father was actually the Emperor of the Tianxuan Dynasty, the most noble man in the world!
At that time, Mother was just a chaste official who sold her art but not her body when she met that man.
He was enchanted by his mother's piano skills, and after a romantic affair, he redeemed her from the brothel, promising to return for her, but unexpectedly, he never came back.
It was only later that his mother found out from the old procuress's mouth that he turned out to be the current crown prince.
Mother's heart is attached to him, always thinking that he will come back, but unexpectedly, it has been one year after another...
It wasn't that she didn't plan to go to the capital to find that man, but when Mother wanted to look for him, she discovered she was pregnant. After giving birth to him, his frailty and frequent illnesses used up all the family's money. For his sake, Mother endured hardships and waited for that man...
But unexpectedly, until her death, she never waited for...
At that time, he was only eight years old and had no one to rely on. In order to survive, he did all sorts of things! And the thing he did most often was stealing.
If they steal successfully, they have money for food; if they fail, they are beaten half to death.
One time, he planned to steal a big Han's wallet.
Because the big fellow looked thin and tall, with a lazy appearance all over his body, just like he was drunk. Seeing this, he thought that even if he was discovered, he could still escape as long as he pretended to be a drunkard.
Who knew, it was only later that he realized he was wrong.
Because the big fellow was not drunk at all, and when he found out that he wanted to steal things, he didn't make a move, and then subdued him. It can be imagined how deep his martial arts skills were hidden. At that time, he thought that this time he would definitely die.
Originally thought that the big man would beat him half to death like those people in the past. Unexpectedly, after carefully observing him, the big man spoke in a low voice.
"I'm giving you two choices, one is death, the other is to follow me and devote your life to me. But let me tell you, if you choose to follow me, your life belongs to me! I won't tolerate betrayal. However, I can also tell you that if you follow me, I'll be able to give you what you want!"
Perhaps the big man saw the discontent in his heart and threatened and tempted him, so he agreed to the big man.
It was only later that he found out who that big fellow really was!
The master of Yan Luo Ge, the head of a killer organization that makes both the Tian Xuan Imperial Court and the Jianghu fear for three points.
When he learned of Da Han's identity, he was shocked. However, he also knew that his chance had come, the opportunity to avenge himself!
If he's going to be a thief like before, he might as well be an assassin. As long as he works hard, he can avenge his mother! Because, he hates!
He hated that man who had a blood relationship with him but disappointed his mother! He hated it! He was clearly the crown prince, but lived worse than a dog!
So in this life, he vowed to kill that heartless man! To avenge his mother!
The determination in his heart has always been the driving force that supported him, until now. He has gone from having nothing to constantly striving to climb up, from being taken in as a foster son by Ba Zhen Tian, and then continuing in his position after Ba Zhen Tian's death. And his vendetta, can finally be avenged...
The man stood by the window, his eyes gazing into the distance, his expression cold and desolate.
You Yue, who had been standing quietly behind the man in black, couldn't help but let out a faint sigh as she gazed at the lonely figure.
They had been together for many years, and naturally knew the bitterness in Gui Mie's heart. Seeing Gui Mie being surrounded by indifference at this moment, You Yue let out a light sigh before taking a few steps forward, slowly walking to Gui Mie's side.
His body was slender and tall, wearing a purple robe with nobility. Those blood-like, enchanting Manjusaka flowers swayed gently with his movements, rising lightly, such breathtaking beauty.
Paired with his face that makes even women sigh in admiration for its beauty, he is so handsome that it's hard to look away.
You Yue walked up to Gui Mei's side, her enchanting eyes scanning him lightly, looking at the man's cold and stern profile, for a moment, before she opened her lips to speak.
"Everything is ready. According to the scout's investigation, the Sixth Prince and the Fourth Prince will both pass through Shuangxia Gorge tomorrow. The location is treacherous, and it will definitely make them go but not return!"
……
Now that she knew where Xianrencao was, nothing could stop Han Xi Tong, not even a sea of knives or a mountain of fire.
However, because this Death Valley is treacherous and full of mechanisms, naturally, Han Xi Tong had to make thorough preparations before heading out!
Fortunately, she had taken the immortal grass, so even if she used all her strength to fight against the enemy in the future, there would be no worries. Although, she didn't know what ranking her current strength was in Jianghu, but it was more than enough to deal with those small fries.
So, Han Xi Tong had people prepare the tools and weapons she needed on one side, and then planned to set off for Death Valley the next day.
In White Feather Town in Death Valley, it only takes three days to get here. From here, set off tomorrow and arrive at Twin Gorge the next day. After passing through Twin Gorge, you will reach Death Valley.
According to Mr. Li, Xuan Mei Chen's body is quite weak and unless he takes the antidote, he can only hold on for three more months at most, but this is also hard to say.
Because Xuan Mei Chen was initially unwilling to take medicine, his body is in a relatively poor state. Whether he can really pull through depends on his willpower now.
Perhaps Dr. Li is a veteran, knowing the charm of Xuan's morning to Han Xi's eyes, so he let Han Xi say some encouraging words in Xuan's ear today, because even if Xuan is now sleeping soundly, perhaps she can still hear some words.
Hearing Li Daifu's words, Han Xi stayed in Xuan Mochen's room for the last night before leaving.
Although Qing Mei was resentful of Han Xi Tong in her heart, when she heard that she wanted to go to the Valley of Death to find the immortal grass, her mind was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, with a hundred flavors rising to her head.
However, she also knew that in His Highness's subconscious mind, it was also because of Han Xi Tong being able to accompany him by his side on the last night, so he tactfully closed the door and quietly left.

Recommendation for friends: "The Emperor's Husband is a Little 'Bad'"
He is Feng Qi's Emperor, because she became a laughing stock of Jiuzhou but didn't care at all.
He dotes on her and loves her, weaving a dense web of love, but still can't hold onto her, and can only watch as she drifts further and further away...
She was fortunate enough to be reborn, originally just wanting an ordinary life, living a peaceful day.
Unexpectedly, fate played a trick, and got entangled with the royal troublemaker, the more I hid, the more lost I became!
Can't those annoying peach blossoms just disappear?
