Wishful Things

Under Xia Tingzhen's gaze, the little Taoist slowly opened the brocade box.

Appearing in Xia Tingzhen's line of sight were seven or eight waxy-yellow incense pills the size of pigeon eggs. The moment they were opened, a faint medicinal fragrance lingered in his nostrils.

"Let me just say, these few incense pills are worth taking so slowly?" Sensing the inexplicable tension in the atmosphere, the inner eunuch jokingly said, "I don't know, but I still treat you as the leader here." What kind of shady baby are you pretending to be?"

The little Taoist forced a dry laugh, and said: "Master has told me that there must be no mistakes in sending things to Yukun Palace. This is the first time for a villain to do an errand, so I really dare not be careless..."

"Okay, look, I scared you." The eunuch said: "If that's the case, let's go over quickly."

"Yes." The little Taoist felt as if he had received amnesty in his heart, and when he was about to close the brocade box, he heard the voice of the indifferent Shoufu lord sound again——

"Wait."

Xia Tingzhen took a step forward.

He still feels something is wrong...

At this moment, the little Taoist's heart was beating like a drum, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face.

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came.

"Xia Shoufu."

It is the boy's respectful shout——

Xia Tingzhen raised her eyes subconsciously to see the weakened young boy wearing an indigo blue silk robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, with a jade crown and hair tied up, and a pair of clear eyes on his thin cheeks.

"His Royal Highness." Xia Tingzhen raised his hand and saluted.

The crown prince politely returned the salute and asked, "Did Lord Xia just come back from Father?"

"Exactly."

"I just want to ask Master Xia a few words..." The boy looked at the eunuch and the little Taoist priest, and then said in a low voice, "I wonder if Master Xia can move around and talk about it?"

Xia Tingzhen had no reason to refuse, so she raised her hand and made a "please" gesture: "Please, Your Highness."

The prince then walked towards the gazebo ahead.

Xia Tingzhen followed slowly.

"I wonder if Your Highness has anything to ask the old minister?" Although the voice could not be called negligent, it did not have much respect.

It has always been like this, and the crown prince didn't care about it, he just asked hesitantly: "I heard that your father is not feeling well, I'm going to visit you one or two, but I don't know...how is your father feeling at this moment?"

Xia Tingzhen sneered from the bottom of her heart.

It turned out that he wanted to see the emperor, but he was afraid that he would be in a bad mood if he bumped into him, and he was worried that he would be angered.

This is their Daqing prince...

No matter which aspect it is, it is so unreal.

"The emperor is busy with government affairs, so it can't be said that he is in a good mood or a bad mood." Xia Tingzhen didn't want to say too much, raised his hand and said: "If His Royal Highness has no other important matters, the old minister will leave first."

The prince seemed to have something to ask, but seeing him like this, he didn't dare to say more, he just saluted quickly: "Xia Shoufu, go slowly."

Xia Tingzhen turned around and left the gazebo.

Looking at the place just now, only the inner eunuch was still waiting there, and the little Taoist priest had disappeared.

Xia Tingzhen frowned slightly.

Is he suspicious?

But the national teacher is a member of Ji Xiu, so how could he have anything to do with Yukun Palace secretly?

Seeing Xia Tingzhen walking away, the prince wiped the thin sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

He didn't know what was in the little Taoist's box, and whether there was something that shouldn't be hidden, and he didn't know much about what the Empress and Miss Xu were going to do, but sometimes he didn't need to know too much. Xia Shoufu just went against it - by doing so, he was helping the people he wanted to help.

Taking advantage of the darkening sky, the little Taoist walked quickly with the brocade box in his hand, and arrived at the Yukun Palace, where he handed the things to the maid in charge.

The brocade box was quickly delivered to the queen by Mother Jiang.

The queen opened the brocade box, and there was another compartment under the incense pills.

Inside the compartment, there is a complete Ganoderma lucidum, but the color and texture are quite different from ordinary Ganoderma lucidum.

The queen let out a sigh of relief, put the thing into another long brown lacquer box that she had prepared, and said to Nanny Jiang, "Immediately arrange people to secretly send this thing to the Duke of Zhenguo."

Mother Jiang was startled when she heard that, she glanced at the already dark sky outside the window, and reminded: "Madam, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you out of the palace at this hour, why don't you ask someone to take you out of the palace tomorrow..."

The palace gate will be locked soon, even though he hastened to catch up, leaving the palace at this time is undoubtedly too attracting attention.

The empress has been in this deep palace for these years, and the reason why she has never made any mistakes is because of the word of caution, and it is supposed that she does not need to remind her at this time——

"That's why I said to send it in secret." The queen handed the box to Mother Jiang: "Duke Zhen is in danger, so we should not delay it for a moment."

Send it a moment earlier, maybe there will be more hope.

At such times there must be no delay.

"Then...are you going to use those people?" Mother Jiang asked hesitantly.

To go out of the palace in secret, one must have agility.

The queen nodded: "Go and arrange it."

"..." Mother Jiang hesitated to speak.

The emperor is suspicious, it is not easy to install eyeliner in this iron barrel-like palace, and the Wu family spent a lot of effort to send these more than twenty guards into the palace, in order to prevent accidents at a critical moment use--

Last year, Fengtian Temple was hit by thunder and fire, and it was one of these people who falsely claimed to have found an assassin in order to lure away the palace guards in advance.

But now the empress is sending people out of the palace to deliver medicine. If she is found out, whether it will cause trouble or not, will even expose the people who have been carefully arranged over the years to the emperor...

"No need to say more." The queen took out the jade pendant that had been prepared and handed it to Mother Jiang, "Since my father gave these people to me, I will make the decision. Go quickly."

There are priorities, and the life of the Duke is even more important.

For her, this is a real critical moment.

The life and death of the Duke is also a critical moment for the people of the world.

Seeing her insistence, Jiang Nanny didn't say any more, she replied "The servant girl obeys", and immediately arranged to go.

In the night, a black shadow flitted across the palace wall like a ghost. Relying on the knowledge of the patrol time and the weak defenses, it escaped from the palace without any danger.

When the casket was sent to the Zhen Guogong's mansion, it was only the second watch.

"It was sent by a man in black, who claimed to be the empress, and now he is still waiting at the back door, saying that there is something wrong with asking the girl to check the things first—" Xi Yuan, in Xu Mingyi's bedroom, Ah Zhu said in a low voice.

Xu Mingyi quickly opened the brocade box.

After examining it carefully, her face became slightly relaxed, and her eyes became brighter: "That's right, it's exactly this thing!"

In Daqing, there is probably only one Ganoderma lucidum—the thing that could save my grandfather's life is now in her hands!

"The servant girl went to answer the man."

"Wait a minute."

Xu Mingyi put down the long box, walked quickly to the dressing table, bent over and took out an azure porcelain bottle from the cabinet, and handed it to Ah Zhu: "Let someone take this thing back, and find a chance to hand it over to the national teacher."
