The two of them went up the mountain one after the other, and Zhangzhu looked for herbs hidden in the grass along the road, but because of the drought, they didn't dig much after coming out for a long time.

"What kind of grass is this?" Chu Yuanzhen asked about the handful of weeds that had just been pulled out.

"This is a chicken blood vine, dispelling wind and invigorating blood, relaxing tendons and scattering the meridians. It seems that we had some luck today. With this medicine, the prescription can come out again. ”

Chu Yuanzhen proposed that he carry the basket, but the palm beads were not polite, and he untied the rope and gave him the basket.

Approaching a mountain forest, Zhangzhu was worried that he would not be able to stand it because he was tired, so he proposed: "Let's rest on the stone for a while, and then I will see what medicine can be found nearby." ”

Chu Yuanzhen nodded in agreement, but he was indeed a little tired halfway up the mountainside, so he put down his back basket and sat on the big stone. Zhangzhu took the hoe and bent down to look for those herbs that were not easy to find, and after looking for a while, she seemed to have found her target, so she dug a few times with the hoe, and sure enough, she pulled out a large weed. In Chu Yuanzhen's eyes, it is a weed, but in the eyes of Zhangzhu, it is a good thing that can cure diseases and save people.

She came over with the medicine she had dug up, shook off the soil from the roots, and then slaughtered the stems and leaves with a hoe, leaving only a handful of roots. Finally she threw the roots into the basket.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

"Interruption can strengthen muscles and bones."

Yuan Zhen smiled: "You seem to know everything, these things can be found by you if they are hidden so well, you are really sharp-eyed." ”

Zhangzhu replied: "Actually, I didn't have this ability before, I stayed in Jingci Nunnery for more than half a year, and followed Shitai to dig up medicine for a few months, and she taught me a lot of things. ”

Chu Yuanzhen knew that she had suffered a lot before going to Shoufeng, and those hardships might not be anything compared to the hardships she had suffered. Thinking of this, his heart was a little sour, so he quickly took off the handkerchief from his waist and wiped the stone beside him, and said to her, "You can sit here and rest for a while." ”

Zhangzhu meekly sat down beside him.

"Miss Fu, will you come with me to another place in a few days?"

Zhangzhu didn't ask much, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Chu Yuanzhen said again: "My eldest brother fell off the horse, lying on the bed and couldn't move, the doctor said that a few ribs were broken, and he also said that he injured his organs, and he was very scared when he heard it." I have no choice but to ask you to take a look. ”

Zhangzhu wondered: "So powerful?!" ”

"Yes, so I don't dare to say half a word to my mother, even my sister-in-law will hide it for the time being. My eldest brother was thrown off when the horse was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, and his weight was a bit huge, so the toss must have been serious. And there is no news from my father, and the situation is very bad. ”

Seeing his frowns, Zhangzhu couldn't help but comfort him: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." Bad things will pass. ”

"I hope so, and I hope there won't be any more misfortunes."

Zhangzhu was silent for a moment, there was no one else at the moment, and she was not worried that someone would eavesdrop, she hesitated again and again and finally asked a question that had been puzzled for a long time: "Why did the Ten Princes' Mansion join forces with the King of Jin to rebel?" ”

"Because King Jin and they took my father and eldest brother as a threat, so we had to join forces."

"But if King Jin doesn't do it, you are already ready to rebel, aren't you?"

When Chu Yuanzhen heard this, he turned her head and stared at the palm beads carefully, her eyes were clear, like a stream of water. It took him a long time before he said, "Why do you think that?" ”

"The palace and the Du family are so close, not only because of the relationship between in-laws, but also because there is your power in the camp in the north, right? And the Yu family, you have always taken the initiative to woo you, so you have already moved this thought, but you lack a time to do it. And this time King Jin's invitation just happened to give you a suitable excuse. ”

Chu Yuanzhen said slowly: "Sure enough, you know everything." ”

"I'm not stupid, I can see with my eyes, I can hear with my ears, and I will naturally analyze. It is not a blessing for the dynasty to make a rebellion among the vassal kings, and it will be a success, if it fails...... I'm afraid that the Ten Princes' Mansion and the Jin Prince's Mansion will become the second Xie family......"

Yuan Zhen hurriedly covered her mouth and stopped her from continuing: "No, it won't fail." ”

Zhangzhu said secretly: The world is unpredictable, and it is a big breath to dare to go against the court. The vassal king does not have his own troops, so what do you use to resist the imperial court. Isn't this an egg hitting a stone? The results are clear.

"Zhangzhu, we can't afford to fail. It has reached this point, and there is no way back for the two families. Do you know? ”

His tone was so heavy.

But why the other way around? You are royal relatives, no matter how the world of this Great Chu changes, it is also your Chu surnamed Great Chu, which emperor is not the same? And as long as the Ten Princes' Mansion is well-behaved, they enjoy the generous treatment of the imperial court, and they have a hereditary throne, what do they have to worry about. As long as the country of Dachu does not change, you will always live a rich life. ”

"You won't understand...... Chu Yuanzhen's tone was so dull, and after a while, he said to Zhangzhu again: "If you change the emperor Xie case, maybe you can retry it, and then you can return the innocence of the Xie family, isn't it better for you?" ”

Zhangzhu was surprised, she looked at Chu Yuanzhen in a daze for a long time before saying, "Really, will there be such a day?" ”

"Why not? Wrongful imprisonment is rampant, corrupt officials are everywhere, all kinds of contradictions are being stimulated, and malpractices cannot be resolved accordingly. Shouldn't such an era change, but watch the decline of Dachu day by day, but invade the foreign enemy, and finally swallow up this great river and mountain? ”

Zhangzhu was puzzled: "Can these problems be solved by changing the emperor?" ”

"That requires a new system. The prince of Jin is a very strategic person, he has a lot of ideas, and he also knows that he thinks about the people. In the future, when he comes to the throne, I think everything will gradually get better. ”

Zhangzhu was silent, and she didn't understand the set of power techniques.

"I mentioned your family's case to him, and he said that he will definitely return the Xie family's innocence if there is a chance in the future, so what we need now is to wait patiently. Don't be afraid, Zhangzhu, I promised you that you would help you share the burden, and I will definitely do it. You don't have to carry everything on your shoulders, I feel distressed to watch. Chu Yuanzhen said with a little emotion, so she couldn't help but hold the hand of the palm bead.

Zhangzhu immediately retracted, she remembered the words that the princess had said to her, she felt a little uncomfortable, and felt very irritable, and she couldn't stay by his side for a moment, so she immediately stood up, picked up the hoe again, lifted the basket and said, "Let's continue to look for it, I'm afraid that it will rain in a while." ”

"It would be nice if it could rain on such a dry day." Chu Yuanzhen immediately followed.
