Chapter 7: The Theft of Moss Mushroom
"Huh!" Xu Hua smiled gently, took her hand and stroked it, and said kindly, "Yue'er, my mother's body is much better, don't worry." β
"Hmm." Jiuyue responded, turned her head to look at Long Qi on the side, and looked calm, "I'm afraid it's been some time since the prince came here, so let's go back quickly, so as not to make Prime Minister Gui anxious." β
Xu Hua listened to her daughter's words, her face stiffened, and she quietly glanced at the prince, and saw that the other party was not angry, so she reproached, "Yue'er, why are you ......!" β
Without waiting for Xu Hua to say the words of reproach, Long Qi interrupted, "Mother-in-law, what Yue'er said just now is right, my stay here is a little too long, Prime Minister Gui Cheng must be looking for me in a hurry, I won't stay here longer, mother-in-law, you can recuperate, and I will come to see you another day." β
"Okay then." Xu Hua sighed and patted the back of Jiuyue's hand, "Yue'er, the prince is leaving, you go and send it off, have a good chat." β
Jiuyue raised her eyes and glanced at her mother, she knew that her mother was deliberately creating opportunities for the two of them, and it was not good to brush off her mother's kindness, so she had to nod her head in response.
Then the two of them withdrew from the silver house and walked on the path, Long Qi walked in front, and she followed behind, neither of them spoke until they walked out of the gate, Long Qi turned around, grabbed her hand, and said affectionately.
"Yue'er, I know that you hate my father for forcing you to marry me, but you have to believe me, my love for you is true, can't you try it and accept me?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to get along like this now?" Jiuyue said coldly, looking directly at him, Long Qi saw indifference in her eyes, which made him feel a pain in his heart, and then let go of her hand, turned around and left in a negative mood.
Chongju, Xu Hua, who was leaning on the bed, saw the woman walk in so quickly, and said with a surprised face, "Yue'er, why did you come back so quickly?" β
Jiuyue glanced at her mother, strode towards her, knowing what her mother was puzzled about, she smiled faintly, and said softly, "The person was sent to the door, and naturally came back!" β
Seeing her daughter's faint smile, Xu Hua sighed, "Yue'er, tell SΓΉ Niang honestly, don't you like the prince?" β
Jiuyue was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Whether I like it or not, it's not something I can choose, I just need to accept it, mother, don't guess." β
As soon as Xu Hua heard her daughter's words, she knew what her daughter was thinking, her face was sad, and she said sadly, "Yue'er, if you don't like the prince, then refuse as soon as possible, don't joke about your happiness because of your mother, your mother knows her own physical condition, for hundreds of years, the reason why my mother doesn't want to go so early is that I want to wait until your big day, so that my mother will be at ease." β
"Although the Dragon Prince is very good to you, but if you don't like it, then we will choose someone else, my mother doesn't want you to live an unhappy life, after all, the future Ruan has to rely on you to go, and then your mother will not be able to help you anything, at this time, you just need to follow the choice of your heart, don't go against your heart because of other things."
Jiuyue listened to her mother's words, and her heart was indescribably moved, but now that she has come to this point, she knows that she can't turn back, she can't selfishly let her mother leave her, she must heal her mother.
"Mother, I know what you mean, Yue'er also knows very well what she is doing now, in short, don't worry about me, you just need to take care of your body at present, don't think about those things, this qiΔ is supported by me, mother, you will be fine!" Jiuyue said with moist eyes.
Xu Hua's eyes were red, and her trembling palms caressed her daughter's white face, Xu Hua knew that her daughter would not regret it once she made a certain decision, and felt very sorry for her in her heart, if it weren't for her, Yue'er would not agree to the Dragon King's request, she knew that her daughter did all this qiΔ for her, but now she can't do anything for her daughter, she can only see her daughter step by step into this unfortunate marriage.
On the other side, not long after Long Qi returned to the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King came to him, and Long Qi quickly stood up from the big seat, got up and saluted the Dragon King!
"Son, see Father!"
"Well, excuse me!" The dragon king waved his hand and said, wearing a golden dragon robe on his body, wearing a crown hat unique to the dragon king on his head, dragon horns hanging on both sides, and two dragon whiskers under the nose fell on his waist!
Long Qi said with a stern face, "Father, do you have anything to do with the child?" β
The Dragon King glanced at Long Qi in front of him, and said bluntly, "I came today for the marriage between you and Jiuyue, and the marriage period of the two of you may be extended!" β
Long Qi frowned and wondered, "Father, how did things come to this?" If our marriage is going to be extended, what will Yue'er's mother do when the time comes? I went to see Yue'er's mother today, and I think she won't last long. β
The Dragon King frowned and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I've already thought about it, I will use half of the Moss Zhi to continue her life in advance, and after you get married, I will give her the other half of the Moss Zhi." β
"Father, is this possible? Doesn't it take the whole plant to have an effect? Long Qi said with some disapproval.
Seeing the disapproving look on his son's face, the dragon king knew that this paper could not contain the fire, sighed, and told the truth, "Qi'er, my father has no choice now, the Xin Mozhi in the palace was stolen by someone last night, and now only your mother still has half a plant." β
"What?" Long Qi was shocked, and then said angrily, "Who is so bold as to dare to steal the things of my Dragon Palace!" β
"This is still under investigation, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get this moss mushroom back!" The Dragon King said with a gloomy face.
sighed in his heart, "This Moss Zhi is a plant produced in a thousand years, and the treatment of any injury can be quickly effective, and the person who stole the Moss Zhi last night is probably very familiar with the Dragon Palace, otherwise how could it be easily stolen under the guard of so many shrimp soldiers!" β
"Father, what do you mean by that?" Long Qi asked incomprehensibly, and the Dragon King got up and walked in front of him, patting him on the shoulder, his face calm.
"Qi'er, this Moss Zhi is in a very bitter place, and only one plant is abundant in a thousand years, since the other party has taken such a big risk to steal it, it must be used up very quickly, even if we find out who it is, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the second Moss Zhi at that time."
Long Qi listened to the words of the Dragon King, his eyes were gloomy, and he had a feeling in his heart that he wanted to break the corpse of the person who stole the Moss Zhi into ten thousand pieces, and then asked, "Father, then what do you say we should do now?" β
