Chapter 231: Tenderness Like Water
"Brutes are brutes! No matter what, I'm not going back, let's go! Liuhuo rose into the air, landed behind Luo Lianyi, snatched the whip from her hand, and threw it down.
The dust and smoke on the ancient road gradually drifted away and went south......
Liu Hongjing fainted on horseback, and the guards did not dare to chase after him, so they had to escort him back to the palace.
Xue Shufei was anxious, but she couldn't contact the prince, but fortunately this morning, he finally woke up, his cheekbones were sunken, his eyes were dull, and he completely lost his former brilliance.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Xue Shufei served for a few days, and she was also much emaciated and haggard, and when she saw that the emperor finally woke up, she was so excited that tears fell into her eyes.
"Lady, thank you for your hard work." Liu Hongjing looked at her for a while before he raised his hand tremblingly and put it on Xue Shufei's emaciated face.
"It's not hard, it's good for the emperor to wake up, and the concubines are all dying." Xue Shufei wiped her tears and said.
Liu Hongjing put down his hand and sighed heavily.
"Don't worry, the emperor has gone out to find an antidote, and when the prince finds the antidote, we can go and bring the ripples back, so the emperor must take care of the dragon body and reunite with the county lord." Xue Shufei whimpered.
Liu Hongjing looked at the top of the tent, nodded, and two lines of tears flowed down his ears.
Concubine Xue ordered the palace maid to bring hot porridge, helped him up, and carefully fed him spoonful by spoonful.
"I don't know where the prince is now." Lu Hongjing sighed.
"The concubine sent someone out of the palace to investigate, but there was no news of the prince." Xue Shufei said.
"He must have deliberately avoided me, his thoughts, I don't understand."
Xue Shufei glanced at him and sighed lightly.
"Lady Lady, am I wrong?" Liu Hongjing asked.
Concubine Xue Shufei shook her head: "How could the emperor be wrong, the emperor has been looking forward to this person for so many years, but she hasn't understood the emperor's heart yet, and when she understands it in the future, she will definitely come to you." ”
Liu Hongjing's face finally had a smile, a trace of longing, and from this day on, his body gradually recovered.
And Liufan has now reached the westernmost part of Xiling, which is a deserted place, with rolling mountains, towering into the clouds, and bottomless canyons everywhere.
He is not alone, there is a person behind him, white clothes fluttering, beautiful and dusty, it is the white berry.
It turned out that after Liufan left the palace, before he walked out of the imperial capital, he met the white berries who entered the city, and asked her why she came, she didn't say why, after Liufan walked for a while, she quietly followed, and after being discovered by Liufan, she simply understood the request, and wanted to go with him to find an antidote for the county lord.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is the ninety-ninth canyon we have descended into." When Baiberry let go of his grip on the vine and jumped into the white misty canyon, he said to Liufan, who had come down one step earlier.
Liufan's face was solemn, he didn't say anything, and walked towards the depths of the canyon.
"Your Highness, be careful." Whiteberry followed closely behind him.
"Be careful, too, don't run around." Seeing that the fog in the canyon was deep and he couldn't see the road clearly, Liufan stopped and admonished. He rarely spoke all the way, only a short sentence, which sounded like heaven to Baiberry. Liufan had already continued to walk forward, and she was still looking at his back in a daze.
"Whiteberry! Come here! Come and see this? Liufan suddenly shouted in surprise, and Baiberry hurriedly ran over.
On the overgrown ground, there was a weed with pointed leaves, and Lu Fan took out the medical book from his arms, turned it over to the leaf of the nether grass, and squatted down to compare it carefully.
"Exactly the same! His Royal Highness the Prince! We've found Nether Grass! Found Nether Grass! Whiteberry's fingers stroked the grass and said excitedly to Liufan.
"It really is! That's right! I finally found it! Lu Fan's voice trembled with excitement.
"Your Highness! Is the poison to be solved by this grass? Then let's take it back with us! Look, there are a few more over here! "Whiteberry jumps.
"No, the medical book says that you must find a snake that grows next to the Nether Grass and use the venom of this snake to detoxify."
"Looking for snakes? Can snake venom be used as an antidote? Whiteberry asked, puzzled.
"Heart-devouring powder was originally refined from Nether Grass, and its poison can only be solved by the venom of the Nether Snake that grows next to it and feeds on it, which is also the principle of all things in the world, and they are mutually reinforcing." Ryufan explained, pushing through the grass to see if there were any snake caves nearby.
"Both are highly poisonous, this can be regarded as fighting poison with poison, right?" Whiteberry asked.
"It should be, you have to be careful, this snake is very venomous, be careful of suddenly coming out and being hurt by it." Ryu Fan advised.
"Well, Your Highness is also careful." Whiteberry replied gently.
The two of them almost crawled in the grass, looking for traces of the ghost snake, but after searching for a long time, they didn't get anything.
"Whiteberry, are you hungry? Eat something first, rest for a while, and then look for it. Ryufan stood up straight and said to Whiteberry.
"Okay." Baiberry also stood up, took off the burden from his shoulder, took out dry food and water, and handed one to Liufan.
The two of them found a stone and sat down, and ate it, and Baiberry sat next to Liufan, and the rest of his eyes were always on him.
He was dark, thin, and bearded on his cheeks, but his handsomeness and perseverance had not changed at all, and he was more mature and attractive than before. His hair was a little messy because of the rush, and she suddenly had the urge to comb him.
Liufan suddenly turned his head, and when he saw her looking at him stunned, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Am I eating very badly?" ”
"No," Bai Berry's snow-white face turned red instantly, she lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, can I comb your hair?" ”
Seeing her expression, Lu Fan stood up with a hearty smile and said, "Haha, no, the man is a little messy, isn't it more rough and unruly?" He knew that Baiberry was affectionate to him, so he kept etiquette with her along the way, without any intimate words and deeds.
Whiteberry's head lowered, and she tugged at the corner of her clothes, not answering Ryufan's words. Chasing from the south, she didn't follow him all the way, she always longed for him to look at her squarely, but his eyes never focused on her face. Although he was close at hand, his alienation always made her feel that he was far away and out of reach.
Liu Fanwu walked away on his own, and continued to look for the snake hole in the grass, and Bai Berry sat for a while, then stood up and walked towards him.
Time passed little by little, but the two had nothing to gain, and the sky was getting dark, and the two had to stop looking.
"It's so cold all of a sudden, Your Highness." Whiteberry shuddered. It was dark all of a sudden, and the temperature in the canyon dropped suddenly.
"I'll go find some trees, let's make a fire, there may be poisonous beasts in this valley, we have to be careful at all times." Lu Fan said.
