Chapter 62: Gambling 2
"I know that over the years, in order to advance to the 9th level, I have been looking for some rare and exotic herbs, you and I make a bet, within three months, if you can find two of them, I will recognize that you will not become a stumbling block to Hades. No longer persecuted Hades to marry the five princesses. She calculated in her heart, she didn't know, in fact, these herbs were for antipyretic poisoning, she just saw that Ye Ming had run those mountains and something too many times in the past few years, and she had some doubts, so she came out of Baili Ziran's set of words, but Baili Ziran only said two things, saying that it was to improve the rank, so she didn't say anything more.
"Which two. After some hesitation, Hatsuxing shook his lips and nodded fearlessly.
"The winter chrysalis of Miao Mountain, as well as the spring water of the Jade Ice Spring. ”
Gu Mei's eyes were full of depth, and she looked at Chu Xing, wanting to see how similar this little girl was to her father.
"Good. He didn't even think for a moment, and Chu Xing responded sonorously.
Gu Mei raised her eyebrows, looked the girl up and down again, and secretly said in her heart, whether she was ignorant or bold, she agreed so quickly. If she really went to find it, not to mention the spring water of the Jade Ice Spring, it was the winter chrysalis of Miao Mountain, with her strength, she was afraid that she would not be able to get it after dying a few times.
"Then choose a day, and you will set out. Save that when Hadi'er comes back, he won't let you go. Don't worry, I'll send two people to see you off the city. Gu Mei choked up, anyway, she wouldn't really look for her, just find an excuse to ask her to leave the palace, and as soon as she left the city, he would take her away and send her to her summer villa in the mountain for a year and a half, and then let them get together when she got married.
"The princess is slow, make a gambling contract, you must have some credentials. ”
As soon as he grabbed Gu Mei, who was about to leave, Chu Xing took out a pen and paper from the side and put it on the table.
Gu Mei shook his head, looking at Chu Xing's pretending to be calm, he felt a little helpless in his heart, but he still wrote the gambling contract on the paper, and finally the two of them signed and drew a pledge as evidence.
Seeing Gu Mei until she walked out of the inner courtyard, Chu Xing finally couldn't support it, sat down, drooped his head, all the heroic gods and martial arts were gone, and even regretted a little, how could she become so impulsive as soon as she encountered something about the night underworld, first made a deal with Lianying for him, and now made a bet with Gu Mei, alas, what is wrong with me? What jade ice spring, what winter chrysalis, I have never heard of it, where to find it?
"Xing'er, how are you. Alas, Xing'er, how dare you confront the ancient princess, she is the princess's mother and your future mother, what will you do in the future?" Chun Tao took the purple snow ointment and gently wiped the corners of Chu Xing's mouth, feeling distressed. She has been in the palace for so long, and she has never seen Gu Meifa so angry, Xing'er is like this, does it really matter?
"Alas, what will happen in the future, I will talk about it in the future, Chun Tao, you say first, do you know what a winter pupa is, what is a jade ice spring?" She didn't care about the slightest pain at the corner of her mouth, and looked at Chun Tao helplessly.
Naturally he didn't know these things, Chun Tao shook his head, sighed, and then pointed in the direction of the medicine furnace.
"It's better to ask Ziran, he knows more. ”
That's right, Ziran. Tapping the table, Hatsuxing was immediately overjoyed and ran towards the medicine stove.
In the medicine furnace, Baili Ziran, who was boiling herbal tea, was pulled up by Chu Xing vigorously, blinked his eyes that were still sleepy, and became lazy, wondering what this girl was going to do today.
"Ziran, do you know what a jade ice spring is and what a winter chrysalis is. Panting heavily, he drank all the tea on Ziran's table before Chu Xing opened his mouth.
As soon as he heard the frost wood and the winter chrysalis, Baili Ziran's body was agitated and completely awake. Looking at Chu Xing in disbelief, this girl, could it be that she knows something?
"You, what are you asking for?" Bailizi turned around weakly, sat down by the stove, and fanned the small fan in his hand.
"Well, it's hard to put into words. Facing Ziran's question, Chu Xing pouted depressedly and roughly explained the matter of Fang Cai.
Hearing this, Ziran was in a cold sweat, I thought that my mouth was tight enough that day, but I didn't expect to be exploited by the ancient princess, and now she is still causing this kind of incident, and she has caught this girl, what should I do?
"Ziran, are you listening?" Chu Xing waved his hand and looked at Baili Ziran's somewhat pale face in confusion.
"Listen, listen, you girl, you're too impulsive, how can you make this kind of bet, that Jade Ice Spring and Winter Chrysalis are difficult to get even 10 princes, let alone you. I think you'd better give up on this bet. After coming back to his senses, Baili Ziran wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his heart was empty. I don't have the heart to think about anything else, I just think about how to persuade this girl.
"Why? Is it so hard?" Seeing Baili Ziran say this, Chu Xing's already low confidence was even lowered, but he still stubbornly refused to extinguish the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Nonsense, that winter chrysalis is born in the depths of Miao Mountain, and it is the pupal of Miao Mountain's cold cicada, but the cold cicada usually operates in that dangerous and extremely humid place, and it will not pupate until December. If you go now, there will be no cold chrysalis at all, even if you find a cold cicada, you won't be able to bring it back, and the cold cicada will die as soon as it comes out of the damp place. There is also the jade ice spring water, born on the top of Daishan Mountain, the top of Hawk Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, perennial ice and snow, very few people climb to the top, the spring water is like a legend. ”
Seeing Chu Xing leaning down at the table in frustration, Baili Ziran secretly rejoiced in her heart, this girl usually cherishes her life very much, she should be able to dispel her thoughts. He handed over a cup of freshly boiled herbal tea, but saw Chu Xing wave his hand, get up in frustration, as if he had lost his soul, stopped talking, and walked out slowly.
"It's something harder to find than climbing to the sky. On the bed, locking himself in the room alone, Chu Xing rolled unconvinced.
This Gu Mei is too despicable, and she actually asked her to find such a difficult thing. But since he has already spoken, if he breaks the contract now, what is it?
She got up sullenly, opened the cabinet, looked at the full clothes there, was stunned, closed the cabinet door in frustration, and lay back on the bed.
What should I do, wait for Nightshade to come back and tell him? Tell him that she was in trouble again because of a momentary recklessness? And then break the contract? Watching Nightshade take all the pressure to marry her, or watching Nightshade marry the five princesses? Yourself really became the kind of person they call you? No, no. Although she has never agreed to be a concubine in the night, although she said that she didn't know his sincerity, she knew in her heart that she had already believed in him and loved him because of the meticulous care of the night during these days. It's just that the inferiority complex is troublesome, and I don't know how to accept it for a while. Yes, I can't solve everything with the Great Demon King, I want to prove that he didn't choose the wrong one.
Thinking about it, she took out the formation book from her pillow, as if she had found some confidence, took paper and pen again, sat down at the table, pursed her lips, and began to write.
The next day, Chun Tao came early in the morning to serve Chu Xing to wash, but found that the room was empty, she searched in the courtyard, but there was no Chu Xing's figure, faintly uneasy, she went back to the room to check, only to find that all the jewelry in the room was there, only the Xuan Ling whip and a few sets of light clothes were missing, and there was a parting letter under the pillow. Anxious, Chun Tao hurriedly found Uncle Rong, and in an instant, the palace was in chaos, and Uncle Rong sent most of the royal family to look around on the street, but he didn't dare to make a big fuss, for fear of provoking criticism, and went to the old prince.
And the night that happened to arrive in Yancheng, as soon as he entered the city, he rushed all the way to the palace, but when he stepped into the inner courtyard, he saw Chun Tao squatting at the door of the first star room crying with teary eyes, he frowned, rushed forward and pushed the door open, and saw the eye-catching parting letter on the table.
With a dull ache in his heart, he slumped into his chair with some weakness and tore open the letter. The four words of Shen Xuan personally opened up, as if they were thorny, and his heart hurt.
"A few days ago, when Shenxuan was not there, the mother came to look for it and persuaded Xing'er to be a concubine, but Xing'er was unwilling, so Xing'er dared to make a bet with her mother, she should have waited for Mingxuan to come back and then leave, but I was afraid that you would stop it after you knew about it, so I will be willful again. Don't worry, I brought Xuan Ling and that array diagram, for the sake of Xuan, three months later, I will definitely return safely. ”
In just a few lines, the night is like five thunderbolts, this girl has a simple temperament, even if she has grown some brains in the past six months, but she can't stand the old scheming of the mother, he knows that all her rejections are uneasy, not unloved. He was sure of her intentions, so he was willing to wait for her to be ready, but he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect that the mother would take advantage of this and make a bet with her to lure her out of the city. His good mother, who has not changed, is another mistaken belief on his stupid part.
He clutched the letter in his hand, his fingertips turned white with exertion, and he galloped away angrily towards the prince's palace.
"Mother, my good mother, you have really made me see again. As soon as he entered the side courtyard and stepped into the garden, Ye Ming threw the crumpled letter in front of Gu Mei, and his body was cold as if he was about to freeze everything around him.
Gu Mei's face didn't change, she just waved her hand, drove away the two little maids beside her, picked up the letter on the table, looked at it, hooked the corners of her lips, and slowly drank the tea at hand.
"Hell is really looking for a good girl. ”
Seeing Gu Mei so calm, Ye Ming was even more chilled and sneered.
