Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C166

“This is a Wuli Herba, an extremely rare sight. It will only sprout after it has snowed on the Gold Sun Mountain.” Jin Xiaolou said indifferently, “Because doctor Miao said that the Wuli Herba are beneficial to His Majesty’s illness, His Majesty has already sent countless of his men to the Golden Ape Mountain to gather herbs. Even the crown prince has personally gone to the Xin Ning to search for medicine.”

The crowd was once again in an uproar.

“It’s a pity that the people that His Majesty sent out have all returned empty-handed. I think that it would be difficult for even Your Majesty to find them, so the number of people who possess this Wuli Herba in the entire Great Zhou can be counted on one hand.” Jin Xiaolou continued to speak, “It was only today that I found out that this Wuli Herba had a faint, serene, and elegant scent. The Fifth Prince is so extravagant, he actually placed the Wuli Herba into the smoke furnace to make spices, and smoked it to the point that the people who went to the Fifth Prince’s residence were covered in the smell. ”

The moment Jin Xiaolou’s voice fell, Yu Su naturally did not move. However, Nan Yang had already raised his sleeve in shock and brought it up to her nose to smell.

Only after taking a closer look did he realize that there was indeed a faint fragrance coming from his sleeve.

Earlier, Nan Yang had smelled this aroma once again at the Fifth Prince’s residence. It was because this fragrance had stained her clothes, but she actually had not noticed it at all.

The expression on Fifth Prince’s face did not change at all, but the space between his fingers had become slightly white due to the exertion of his strength.

He had indeed secretly made a trip to the Golden Steal Mountain, after the Emperor had eaten some Wuli Herba from who knows where and his condition had greatly improved.

He gathered all of the Wuli Herba that had sprouted at this year and added them to the spices every day, burning them dry. He did this every day, but he was actually accustomed to the faint fragrance.

“Master Bai, you can hear about the people in the hall. You’ll know who comes in contact with the Fifth Prince after hearing about him!” Jin Xiaolou stood in front of Fifth Prince and said calmly.

Bai Ruyi nodded, this was indeed a method.

However, not to mention whether the Fifth Prince had colluded with others to murder the Crown Prince and framed the Seventh Prince, just this Wuli Herba hiding, if one investigated deeply, he would be able to be convicted of conspiring against others.

Zhao Jin naturally knew how powerful he was.

However, he was still calm and composed. Twisting his fingers, he exerted force and made a slight cracking sound.

The people in the hall all had their own thoughts, most of them didn’t hear it, but Jin Xiaolou heard it loud and clear, and was attracted by Zhao Jin.

Just as his gaze landed on the Fifth Prince’s finger, he heard Yu Su shouting behind him: “Seventh Prince, you forced me to frame your Fifth Prince like this, there will be retribution!”

Saying that, he shot up from the ground like an arrow that had left the bow, flying straight for Seventh Prince.

Gao Lang’s hands were quick, he grabbed onto Yu Su’s arm and stood up.

Who knew that Yu Su was actually a kung fu expert? She used her other hand to pull out the jade hairpin on his head in the blink of an eye, and with a gentle push of the head, he pulled out a thin silver needle and pierced towards Seventh Prince’s chest with lightning speed.

Gao Lang was just inches away from Yu Su. His hand was originally holding onto Yu Su’s arm, but now that Yu Su had grabbed onto her arm, he couldn’t let go of it for a moment.

As for Zhao Jin, who pretended to be panicking and come over to save them, in reality, he was holding Gao Lang between them and was unable to move him at all.

The long silver needle was almost as long as the silver syringe in the box. It would be hard to survive if it continued to pierce through like that.

In the blink of an eye, Nan Yang and Chang An cried out in alarm, and ran towards Seventh Elder with all their might. Just as they were about to raise their feet, they saw a tiny figure running straight into Seventh Master’s embrace, flapping its wings like Yuyan.

Yu Su only saw a shadow flash before her eyes, she was already extremely nervous and agitated, with a raise of her hand, she pierced the silver needle towards the person in front of him.

The long needle went into his flesh with a sound, but the needle was nowhere to be seen.

Jin Xiaolou raised her chin, looking at Gao Lang’s clearly outlined face, she raised her hand, wanting to stroke that face.

Just like every other time, she would gently caress his skin from top to bottom.

However, this time, she had just reached out her hand before it dropped powerlessly.

Just as Yu Su was in a daze, Gao Lang’s leg kicked her flying, heavily hitting the wooden pillar.

He carried Jin Xiaolou and ignored everything else as he charged out while calling for the imperial physician.

Zhao Jin brushed his robes, looked at Yu Su who had died on the pillar, and said expressionlessly: “I do not recognize this person, and as for the Wuli Herba the woman spoke of earlier, it’s even more ridiculous.”

“Wuli Herba are few and far between in this world. If I get them, I will definitely offer them to the Emperor, so how can I own them for myself? Furthermore, the Wuli Herba was so rare. How could an ordinary young lady know the smell of it after being burnt? If Master Bai has the ability to find a Wuli Herba, why not light it up and take a look. ” Zhao Jin was fearless, “I’m afraid that the smell on Yu Su’s body is also the smell of her backers, and it was deliberately tainted to frame me.”

Bai Ruyi was still in a state of shock, how could he have the mind to think about the case in front of him?

Just like that, the girl from before, that little girl, pounced over. It was so long, such a cold thorn, directly piercing into her heart, she didn’t know … I wonder if she’ll make it …

“Your Highness, now that something like this has happened, it’s better to postpone the trial.” Bai Ruyi wiped off his cold sweat.

Not to mention, Yu Su was probably dead, so how could she tell if the scent on Fifth Prince was that of a Wuli Herba or not?

Even the Wuli Herba emperor couldn’t hope for it, where would he be able to find another one?

Even if they found him and sent him to the palace to treat the emperor’s illness, how could they possibly burn him just to smell his scent?

He would not be able to investigate this case. He could only wait until tomorrow to enter the palace and let the emperor decide for himself.

After all, on one side was the Fifth Prince, and on the other was the Seventh Prince. He was just a young official of the Supreme Court, and he couldn’t afford to offend anyone.

In front of him, there was a violent wind and a torrential rain. There were steep cliffs on both sides of the river, and the only thing he could do was to not approach the shore.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll return to my residence first.” Zhao Jin smiled, “After all, I haven’t recovered from my old illness, so it’s inconvenient for me to stay for too long.”

With that, he walked out of the hall.

Just as he sat in the sedan, he opened the curtain and spoke to Red Xiao who was seated outside: “It’s time, let Qinghong bring that person to the capital.”

Red Xiao nodded his head in agreement. Then, he lifted up the curtain that he had just put down: “Work from behind and be sure to keep it watertight.”

Red Xiao’s body trembled, this time, the matter of supporting Rainbow Garden, was handed to him by the Fifth Prince.

whatever kind of study blueprint it was, it was something that he had taken a look at first and then told the other party to go and tell Yu Su about it.

However, he couldn’t even guarantee the accuracy of this information. He really shouldn’t have done so. The Fifth Prince had never allowed such a careless person to stand by his side.

Red Xiao was very clear that he had almost committed a grave mistake this time. Fortunately, the other party did not come prepared, and actually called his master into a muddle.

However, what was supposed to be a good thing that could kill two birds with one stone had now become a normal thing that would achieve nothing. It was already a loss. Red Xiao asked for punishment, but Zhao Jin shook his hand: “There’s no need for punishment, that Jin Xiaolou, this time, it’s best if she doesn’t survive.”

Red Xiao immediately nodded, “This servant understands.”

The front, the back, and the front were all filled with warm furnaces.

Outside the tightly shut door, Chang An and Nan Yang stood at opposite sides. Chang An’s face was extremely anxious, but Nan Yang’s mood was unstable.

Within the room, on the enormous wooden bed carved with flowers, there were layers of drapes. Within the warm blanket, there was a tiny figure.

A large hole was cut open in Jin Xiaolou’s robe from the front of her chest, revealing dark red spots of clothes underneath.

A white-bearded imperial physician stood by the side of the bed, holding a silver needle in his hand.

“If this needle were just an inch to the left, then I wouldn’t be able to save my life even if I were a god or immortal.” The imperial physician said bluntly, “With His Highness’s blessing, there’s still a chance for survival.”

The imperial physician’s surname was Fu, and he was an old man from the palace.

The thread of hope that he spoke of, was to use a silver needle to protect Jin Xiaolou’s heart vein, and wait for the expert to come, and take out the needle.

With his decades of medical skills, he didn’t dare to take out a needle. In this entire world, there was only one person who could take out a needle like this.

“Who?” Lv Yun hugged the Marquis of Lin’er at the side. He was so anxious that his eyes were red, but he recited the words the shopkeeper had instructed him.

“Medicine King Zou Miaomiao!” The Imperial Physician Fu spoke each word with solemn respect.

Gao Lang spoke out, “Zou Miaomiao?!”

“That’s right, Zou Miaomiao. However, Seventh Prince, the Medicine King, Zou Miaomiao, had a bet with someone that he would not see the world again after losing the bet. No one in the world knows where he is now.” Imperial Physician Fu let out a long sigh, looking especially regretful.
