"You… you guys…"Tang Yin was like a wife who had walked in on her husband having an affair. She pointed at Feng Ruqing in disbelief. Tears were welling in her eyes; she looked so pitiful and angry.
She had worked so hard outside to help Feng Ruqing look for the Five Spirit Gra.s.s. It just so happened that she had come across some good news in her search and she could not wait to tell her. But who knew that she was fooling around with the female servants! And she had never fooled around with her before!
Nevermind that she already had Nan Xian; now she could not even let go of the female servants as well. She was like a rabbit that would not eat the gra.s.s around her burrow; how could she treat her like that?
"Xiao Yin, you came at the right time. Sit by me, have a taste of the fruits that I have planted myself."
The kindness of the young lady"s smile and her crisp voice made all the complaints in Tang Yin"s heart disappear in an instant.
She obediently sat beside Feng Ruqing. Her face was s.h.i.+ning, but there was a slight pride in her voice as she sighed softly. "I thought you only liked your female servants and not me."
Feng Ruqing was shocked. She looked at Tang Yin. Somehow, she felt that Tang Yin looked more like an angry wife today.
Tang Yin bit her lip. "I"m here to tell you, Qian Ning has given me some news. There are Five Spirit Gra.s.s in the Tang family, but those old farts at the Tang family are giving her trouble. But Qian Ning told me that she would get us the herbs. I have faith in her."
Feng Ruqing"s heart skipped a beat. She sat up straight in an instant. She started to breathe heavily.
"Are you sure? There"s Five Spirit Gra.s.s in the Tang family?"
Tang Yin blinked. "Qian Ning would never lie to me."
At this moment, an indescribable feeling rose in Feng Ruqing"s mind.
For a while now, she had presented spirit herb dishes at the palace daily. With the help of spirit wine, Feng Tianyu had felt much better.
But that was where it stopped.
There was still poison in his body and it had not stopped spreading in the body.
She could only remove the poison with the Five Spirit Gra.s.s.
"Tang Yin, I would like to go to the Tang family with you."
Tang Yin was stunned. "Do you really want to go to the Tang family?"
"Yes, I need to go to the Tang family. I must get hold of the Five Spirit Gra.s.s."
Even if the Tang family came up with multiple requests, or even if the price was too high, she still needed to get those Five Spirit Gra.s.s!
Tang Yin lowered her head. She gently pursed her lips. After a while, she raised her head.
"Alright, I will bring you to the Tang family. Xiao Qing, I will do my best to protect you."
She would show Xiao Qing that she too could protect her as well as Nan Xian!
"Okay, let me pack my things for a moment. Wait for me at the city gates, I need to enter the palace first."
Feng Ruqing"s eyes were s.h.i.+ning brilliantly, everyone could feel it.
Other than the Five Spirit Gra.s.s, there was still another thing that she needed to get!
***
Southern Bamboo Grove.
The man"s coat was moving around in the air. It seemed even more graceful and elegant within the bamboo grove.
Qing Zhu poked its head out, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Master, Feng Tianyu is seriously ill, it"s a good chance for you to please the princess. Have you thought of a way to save him?"
"Yeah." Nan Xian gently looked at Qing Zhu. "The best way is to fight poison with poison. A snake soup, if not properly prepared would contain poison, therefore…"
Qing Zhu, "..."
"Let"s just pretend that he didn"t say that, okay?"
Nan Xian"s cold gaze turned upward. His cool eyes were fixated on the nearby horizon. His eyes were calm. No one knew what he was thinking of.
Feng Tianyu"s body was already reaching his limit. Moreover, someone had already suppressed the effects of the poison before. Even if he could suppress the poison again by using his spiritual qi, one day when it blew over, the patient would die instantly.
