"Chu Qing."
Chu Qing raised his head. The emperor looked at him seriously, with his hands clasped in his fists. Chu Qing said respectfully: "What are your orders, your majesty?"
"Do you want to save Poria?" the emperor asked directly.
Although Chu Qing had doubts, he still nodded and said, "Yes, I want to save Fuling."
It is to save, not to save. Chu Qing had already planned that if the emperor kept pretending that he had not framed the Gong family and wanted to kill Fuling, then he would do everything possible to protect Fuling.
The emperor looked at Chu Qing with firm eyes and said solemnly: "I will give you this opportunity."
Chu Qing didn't say anything. He didn't think this opportunity was a simple one. It must be some kind of dirty trick.
"The Queen Mother is seriously ill and needs Tianshan Snow Lotus to save her." The emperor looked at Chu Qing solemnly and said, "If you retrieve the Tianshan Snow Lotus, I will spare Fuling's life."
Chu Qing frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I retrieved the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and Your Majesty released Poria Cocos from the prison without pursuing the matter."
"Chu Qing!" the emperor scolded, he dared to negotiate terms with her.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty understands what happened when the national treasure was lost." Chu Qing looked straight at the emperor and said, "If your Majesty agrees to let go of Poria and the Gong family, then I will have lost this Destiny will also bring back the snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain."
The emperor narrowed his eyes. The Queen Mother's body was more important at the moment. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway, so he didn't care about this moment.
"Okay, I promise you. As long as you get back the Tianshan Snow Lotus, you will no longer pursue the Gong family for losing the national treasure."
Now that the conditions were agreed upon, Chu Qing set off immediately. Tianshan Snow Lotus was not so easy to collect, otherwise the emperor would not have let go of the Gong family so easily.
Tianshan Snow Lotus grows on the steep cliffs and in the ice-stained rock crevices of the Tianshan Mountains. The climate on Tianshan Mountain is extremely cold and the snow does not melt all year round. Ordinary plants cannot survive in that environment, but Snow Lotus can survive in such an environment. It is proud of frost and snow and grows tenaciously, so the picking process must be very difficult.
Fortunately, before Chu Qing left, he met Huaiyu. Huaiyu told him one by one about the possible situations on Tianshan Mountain, but Chu Qing was in a hurry to get up and had no time to listen to what she said. There was no way, Huaiyu had no choice but to accompany him for his safety and to successfully collect snow lotus.
After finally arriving at Tianshan Mountain, Chu Qing climbed up the mountain with great difficulty. In order to seize the time, Chu Qing chose a shortcut. The shortcut is not as dangerous as the original road. There are still people walking on the original road, so it is not that dangerous. But no one took the shortcut, it was basically the path Chu Qing took step by step, with Huaiyu following closely behind him.
Although accompanied by Huaiyu, the two still encountered many unexpected situations along the way, but fortunately they were resolved one by one.
Finally arriving at the edge of the cliff, Chu Qing lay on the ground and looked towards the edge of the cliff. Sure enough, he saw snow lotus in the gap of the cliff. It's just that there is snow all around, and the rocks on the cliff are frozen, making it even more difficult to climb.
"Chu Qing, be careful."
Huaiyu looked worriedly at Chu Qing who was climbing down. Besides the snow here, it was still snow. No matter what happened to either of them, it would be a big problem.
A gust of snowy wind blew by, and the snow floating in the sky suddenly became much heavier. Chu Qing clung to the stone wall, his hands and feet already numb from the cold.
Huaiyu lay on the ground and stretched his head to look at Chu Qing on the edge of the cliff. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was becoming more difficult to pick Tianshan snow lotus.
"Huaiyu, I can't move."
Hearing Chu Qing's words, Huaiyu stretched out his head anxiously to see that Chu Qing stayed on the ground motionless, as if he really couldn't move.
"Chu Qing, can you hear me?"
"I can hear it, but my hands and feet are a bit out of control."
Huaiyu thought for a while and said loudly: "Chu Qing, do as I say."
Although he didn't know what Huaiyu was going to do, Chu Qing still pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
