I'm the Farmgirl You Can't Mess With

Chapter 1298: Reunion (3)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Haoran chased the two troublemakers out and asked Spring to take them away before turning around to coax Mu Yangling.

After holding him down, Mu Yangling searched him inside and out, and found a bottle of medicine from his inner pocket.

Mu Yangling opened it and took a sniff. “What medicine is this?”

Qi Haoran opened his mouth to lie, but Mu Yangling immediately said, “I can tell apart ordinary medicines by smelling. You have to think carefully before you answer.”

Qi Haoran opened his mouth, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not come up with a lie.

Mu Yangling pressed against him and snorted. “This is the first time I’ve seen you carry medicine other than ointment.”

Qi Haoran looked at her with his round eyes and made up his mind not to speak.

Mu Yangling stared at his lips and asked, “Why are your lips still black?”

Qi Haoran tried his best to look at her innocently.

Mu Yangling grabbed his hand and bared her teeth. “Although I’m not good at martial arts, my internal energy is not bad after 20 years of practice. If you don’t tell me now, do you believe that I’ll inject my internal energy into your body?”

Qi Haoran did not expect her to use this move. Indeed, if he did not use his internal energy to ward off the cold, it could only be said that there was a problem with his internal energy.

Otherwise, it could only mean that he was poisoned. However, if he was poisoned, external internal energy would definitely upset the balance in his body and make him feel even worse.

Qi Haoran lowered his head and told the truth. He whispered, “I feel that the poison in my body has already lost its balance and I can’t utilize my internal energy anymore, so I can’t leave for the time being. Since I’m trapped here, I can’t let you worry day and night. Fortunately, I still have the antidote pill on me…”

Mu Yangling rolled off his body and said angrily, “Can pills compare to medicinal brews?”

The medicinal effect of the pill was nearly a quarter less than that of the medicinal brew. Moreover, the pills he was carrying had been refined in a hurry.

Mu Yangling felt his pulse and asked after a long while, “You really can’t use internal energy anymore?”

Qi Haoran nodded affirmatively. If he could, he would’ve personally brought back his big brother’s medicine instead of sending a team back which made him feel uneasy.

Mu Yangling looked at him worriedly. Not only was there a lack of medicine here, but there was also a lack of daily necessities. How could he recuperate here?

As Mu Yangling looked at the guards outside, she gradually came up with a plan.

Hence, the guards on the mountain were sent out one after another. Not only did they carry back a lot of firewood, but they also found a clean water source on a nearby mountain.

The guards who had gone out to find a way to save them also rushed over with a group of people and a pile of supplies. They had tied the supplies up with ropes, and carried them here in pairs, jumping their way here. As they did not have enough tacit understanding, even if each pair only carried 20 to 30 catties of supplies, they had fallen a few times, dirtying their clothes.

There was a pot of rice, a blanket, and clothes, all of which were prepared for Spring and the others. The guards expressed that they were willing to leave a few people behind to protect these servants who did not know martial arts. This way, King Rong and Queen Consort Rong could leave with their children first. When the mud on the ground dried up a little, they would bring them out.

However, the guard captain said to them calmly, “King Rong has been poisoned and can’t use his internal energy for the time being.”

Therefore, unless they could carry King Rong out, everyone had to stay.

The guards turned around in a daze to look at King Rong, who was sitting beside Queen Consort Rong ingratiatingly. They simultaneously thought of King Rong’s elegant figure and swift movements when he flew up the mountain today.

As expected of King Rong. He still dared to use his internal energy like this even after being poisoned!

Hence, the supplies they brought over benefited Qi Haoran’s family. Moreover, in order to live a better life, the guards were sent out in turns to pick and buy things.

In less than two days, not only had the small cave on the mountain been spruced up, but the guards had also built a simple straw hut with wood. There was hay and blankets inside, allowing the group to settle down on the mountain in peace.

The small cave became their family’s house. There were oil lamps on the walls and curtains separating the three spaces. The central room was at the front, while the two areas behind were the bedrooms of the couple and the two children.

As there was hay at the bottom and a thick blanket on top, even if there were cold rocks under it, it wasn’t cold when they slept at night.

Mu Yangling took out the prescription that Yuan Hui had given Qi Haoran and asked the guards to get their hands on the medicine. Every day, she brewed it and supervised Qi Haoran to take it. After two days, the blackness on his lips had faded a little and his complexion looked better.

Mu Yangling couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Seeing that he ran out to meditate against the morning light every morning, she felt that although he was forced to be trapped here, there was nothing bad about it.

At this moment, after two days of running around, three groups of people who were in charge of escorting the rock lotus finally arrived in the capital. There were still three groups of people who were missing.

Two of the three boxes brought back contained rock lotus.

The imperial physicians, who had been locked in the harem, almost cried tears of joy. They immediately followed Yuan Hui and Chief Physician Hua’s instructions and quickly fed it to the Emperor.

Two hours after feeding him the medicine, the imperial physicians lined up to take the Emperor’s pulse. Sensing that the originally messy and weak pulse had become slightly stronger and orderly, the imperial physicians almost cried tears of joy.

Everyone looked at the remaining medicine excitedly and lowered their voices. “Although there are enough rock lotus in these two boxes, we should prepare more just in case.”

Little Treasure immediately decided to send someone to pick up the three groups of guards. Little Bear snorted coldly and said, “It’s a good opportunity to find out who has been causing trouble for Royal Uncle.”

One of the three groups of guards was lucky and was not intercepted. They were also the first to bring the rock lotus back. The other two groups were accosted on the way. However, they were smart and the other party did not send many people, so they swiftly escaped from the other party.

But seeing as the other three groups were taking such a long time despite taking a nearer route, clearly, they were surrounded more aggressively.

Now that Qi Xiuyuan’s condition was under control, not only Little Treasure and Little Bear, but even Fan Zijin and Rong Xuan began to focus on investigating who the mastermind was.

It was also because they were too busy that they forgot about Qi Haoran and his wife for a moment. When Qi Xiuyuan opened his eyes, the first thing he asked was, “Where are Haoran and Ah Ling? Are they alright?”

Li Jinghua and Little Treasure were stunned, as were Fan Zijin and Rong Xuan. They thought to themselves, ’Oh no, we have forgotten about this couple.’

Little Bear, who was behind them, reported silently, “Royal Uncle, my father and mother are fine.”

Little Bear knew that Royal Uncle had been maintaining his consciousness, and naturally knew more about his parents’ situation.

After all, they were his parents and his two younger siblings lived on the mountain. Naturally, he had to pay attention to communication from time to time.

Qi Xiuyuan looked at Little Bear gently and waved at him. When the latter reached him, he grabbed him and asked, “Has the poison in your father been cleared?”

“Not entirely, but almost,” Little Bear replied. “Daddy has been taking medicine according to the State Preceptor’s prescription. The poison has almost been cleared.”

Qi Xiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief and muttered, “I’ve implicated him.”
