Lin Mengya shook her head. Although Lin Mengya found it a bit tricky, the matter was not difficult to handle.
Inadvertently, passing by Bai Shao's snow-white wrist, a bracelet of excellent quality made Bai Shao's skin look like snow.
"Recently, I see that you seem to be very busy. How about I send someone to share the work so that you don't have to work so hard all the time?"
Lin Mengya actually didn't take Baiji's words to heart.
She decided to have great trust in Bai Shao.
It's just that she doesn't want the people she considers to be her sisters to hide something from her.
Bai Shao's eyes did not dodge, nor did she feel guilty. She just looked at Lin Mengya softly and said softly:
"It's okay, I'll just be busy during the Winter Solstice Festival. I'm not as well-behaved as the other sisters, so I can only help the master share some of the burden in this matter."
Lin Mengya also smiled back at her. Maybe Bai Ji was overthinking.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Nansheng also returned from patrolling the camp, but there was still no news at all about the three people who had returned to the city to get medicine.
In the east, the white color of fish belly gradually appeared, and in the faint morning light, Lin Mengya was inadvertently held in her brother's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
"Bai Zhi, is Miss always so sleepy in the past?"
Lin Nansheng looked at his sleeping sister in his arms with slight doubts in his eyes.
As a child, she was a restless child.
When I grew up, I slept less and less, and there was no honest time every day.
But now, not long after, she was yawning all the time and feeling sleepy.
"Well, if I tell you, Master, she is always such a snoozer. Because Master had a serious illness before, that's why she is like this."
"Sick? What's going on?"
He frowned. He originally thought that Prince Yu was very kind to his sister, but now, he had some doubts in his heart.
Could it be that my sister also had such a difficult time in the palace
"that is-"
Bai Zhi suddenly realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing. When she was in a dilemma and wanted to make up a lie, luckily Bai Zhi came to the rescue.
"When I went hunting with the prince, I accidentally fell off my horse. It took me many days to recover."
Although he still had some doubts in his heart, Baiji's explanation still made Lin Nansheng half relieved.
No wonder, the girl was afraid of horses when she was a child. It makes sense to say so.
"Is this injury important?"
Bai Ji smiled and said gently:
"Don't worry, young master, the master has been treated by the imperial physician in the palace, so it doesn't matter anymore. The imperial physician said that this injured person needs a good recuperation."
Lin Nansheng had paid close attention to these four girls from the very beginning when they came to Lin Mengya's side.
Except for Bai Zhi, whom I have known for a long time, the other three people are all beautiful and intelligent, and they are all very rare talents.
With them by his sister's side, he felt a lot more at ease.
He looked at the sister who was now a woman in his arms with soft eyes, and a trace of tenderness filled his heart.
Fortunately, my sister is safe and sound.
"Back! Master, the prince and Master Yu are back!"
Bai Shao's voice suddenly sounded excited, and Lin Mengya was also woken up. She rubbed her still somewhat obscure eyes and looked outside at the bright sky.
"Come back? Great!"
She stood up from her brother's arms, but felt dizzy for no apparent reason, causing her to fall back down again.
Rubbing her eyebrows, she had been busy all night last night and she actually forgot to eat.
The first thing the three dusty men saw was Lin Mengya sitting in the arms of another man.
Although that was her biological brother, there were more or less complex emotions in the eyes of these three.
"What's wrong? Bai Zhi, please bring the food to Miss."
Of course, Lin Nansheng knew his sister's situation best, and he said distressedly at the moment.
"Okay, I'll get ready right away."
Bai Zhi hurriedly searched for something to eat, but the three people unanimously took out the food from their arms, ate it warmly, and handed it to Lin Mengya.
In Lin Zhongyu's hand was a fragrant meat bun, while in Qinghu's hand was a honey-sweet pancake that exuded a sweet taste.
However, Lin Mengya's eyes were attracted by the object in Long Tianyu's hand.
On his slender long hands, a chicken leg coated with honey sauce is exuding a unique fragrance.
Regardless, Lin Mengya bit down on the chicken leg, and instantly, the oily but not greasy sauce burst out in her mouth.
"Wow, you've been able to repel four of them! (This chicken drumstick is still delicious!)"
Long Tianyu looked at the other two people, with a hint of pride in his usually calm eyes.
Look, it’s his lotus leaf chicken drumsticks that win Lin Mengya’s heart the most.
However, Lin Mengya, who was immersed in the world of foodies, did not notice the small competition between the three men.
Even the fragrant pancakes and big meat buns could not escape her clutches.
In the eyes of the four girls who exclaimed in amazement, she ate an amount of food that she would not normally eat in a day.
Lin Mengya patted her bulging belly and looked satisfied.
"Okay, now we can start working."
He turned around, patted his butt and walked into the tent, leaving behind a floor full of stupid people.
"Xiaoya—when did she become so edible?"
Lin Nansheng frowned. He didn't remember that his sister was a big eater.
"She's probably starving, Bai Zhi, let's go in and help."
Bai Ji was the first to react and entered the camp with four girls.
Lin Mengya felt nauseated after eating too much.
The calm look she had just now disappeared, and she frowned, trying hard to calm down the desire that was about to vomit.
Recently, she felt physically exhausted more and more often.
With the nourishment of tonics, she could only obtain more energy from food.
But only she knew that although she tried hard to eat a lot, her body was getting thinner day by day.
How ridiculous. If this happened before, she wouldn't have to worry about her figure.
Looking at the slender arms, she understood that if she did not detoxify, one day she would fall into a long sleep due to weakness.
This poison was really troublesome. It didn't hurt or itch, but it still forced her to face it.
Lin Mengya patted her face and cheered up.
On the table are three large packages of medicinal materials bought by three people.
Although she said there was no limit, she wouldn't buy so much.
Lin Mengya opened each package and looked at it, but her brows furrowed tightly.
For some reason, none of these three people bought the green water chestnut.
"What's wrong? Did we buy the wrong one?"
Seeing Lin Mengya's solemn eyes, Qinghu asked immediately.
"No, it's not that you bought the wrong thing. It's just that I forgot to mention that the green water chestnut is the most common herbal medicine, but because it grows on cliffs, many ordinary pharmacies feel that the gain outweighs the loss and generally don't stock it."
Lin Mengya was a little embarrassed. Although there was more than just one prescription, the green water chestnut was indispensable.
What should I do now
"Green water chestnut? I remember that this medicine was included in my father's prescription. Because of this, all the green water chestnut in the city was bought by the Imperial Hospital."
Frowning his brows, Long Tianyu said in a deep voice.
But if the mother-in-law is still in the palace, he can deal with it.
It's just that it's still early now, and the queen and the prince are extremely wary of him.
It would never be so easy for him to seek medicine successfully.
By then, I'm afraid even if the medicine is retrieved, Qin Mo will be dead.
"Don't be afraid, this medicine will be available in winter. Come, prepare your horses, I'm going to collect the medicine!"
The most useful thing about Qinghe grass is its roots.
Winter is when the vegetation wilts, but this is when its medicinal power is at its most pure.
"No! Xiaoya, let me go. You just need to tell me what it looks like."
Lin Nansheng held his sister, but Lin Mengya shook her head.
In winter, there is no difference between the green water chestnut grass and other grasses. Unless it is her, it would be difficult for most people to tell the difference.
If you find the wrong one, wouldn't it be a waste of Qin Mo's time and life.
"Brother, I will definitely bring the medicinal materials back. The four of you stay here and keep an eye on Mr. Qin."
Before Lin Nansheng could stop him, a pair of big hands grabbed the reins of the horse in front of Lin Mengya.
"I will protect her."
These five short words were very resounding. Long Tianyu looked at Lin Nansheng in front of him, with unchanging determination in his eyes.
"So... then... okay. I will send a team of personal guards to protect your safety. Prince Yu, I only have one sister."
The two eyes met in the air, and everything in them was about this little woman.
Lin Mengya looked at her brother, nodded, and quickly got on her horse.
Long Tianyu came up next, holding the reins with both hands and protecting Lin Mengya's petite body.
"Drive-" He gently pinched the horse's belly, and the two of them quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
A group of well-trained personal guards followed behind them.
Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu followed their footsteps without saying a word.
Seeing that mighty group of people disappear from his sight, Lin Nansheng's heart was lifted.
The person who assassinated him was vicious, highly skilled in martial arts, and well-trained. He was by no means an ordinary person.
If they just wanted his life, they would never evacuate quickly after injuring Qin Mo.
If it was really what he guessed, Lin Mengya and his party would not have such a smooth journey along the way.
Looking at his good brother who was lying on the bed with his life or death uncertain, he could only hope that his sister was okay.
"Isn't this area a residential area? How can it be so quiet?"
Lin Zhongyu looked around with wary eyes, and whispered to Qinghu in a low voice.
If you want to collect medicine, you must pass through a village.
Although it is early in the morning, the working farmers should get up and prepare meals for the family.
But for some reason, everything was quiet as they walked.
Not to mention the smoke, there was not even a chicken, duck, goose or dog to be seen.
"Stop talking, speed up, I'll go take a look."
