The first daughter of the first daughter

Chapter 322 Stealing Books
Five days later, Yue Chu went to King Jing's mansion to fetch medicine, and Mo Jinghao handed over the six medicinal herbs he had found, which meant that there were still nearly ten medicinal herbs that had not been found.

"Not in the palace?" Lou Xuanying asked in surprise.

Mo Jinghao's face was a bit gloomy, and he looked very heavy: "The medicine in the imperial pharmacy has been tampered with, and all the medicines on this prescription disappeared out of thin air. These six kinds were found and brought by me. Collect all the other medicines." No problem, but it will take time."

"Disappear out of thin air?" She widened her eyes in disbelief, and quickly understood, "Someone among the imperial physicians was secretly colluding to murder the emperor, which means that the prescription written by Yue Chu is correct. Then Those who don’t want the emperor to be cured ordered the imperial doctor to take away the medicine?”

"Probably."

"I can't find out which imperial doctor is so bold and desperate?"

"Who would dare to attack the emperor without a seamless plan?" I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen just a few months after they left the imperial city. If he was there, he would definitely be able to find a clue.

Will the plotter be one of Mo Hengyu and Mo Hongyi?
"Jing Hao, how many days do you think it will take to find all the other medicines? I'm worried that your father...can't wait." Yue Chu sighed. Can't save patients.

Lou Xuanying looked back and forth between the two of them, the expressions on their faces were very solemn, and it seemed that they were a bit helpless.

"In two or three days at the earliest, I have dispatched secret guards to search for them and send them back quickly."

"Yue Chu, must you only use such a rare medicine? Is there no other medicine with similar properties that can be substituted?" Could it be that the emperor's dragon body is precious, so he must use such a rare medicine?

This is what Lou Xuanying couldn't understand the most.

"The emperor's illness has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. If it is not serious, it may cause serious problems. I have already replaced the other medicines that can be replaced. These main medicines cannot be replaced." Yue Chu expressed his helplessness. It is really difficult for Jing Hao to find those medicines in time, almost every kind of herb grows slowly.

"The main medicine can't be changed. It seems that it can explain the purpose of the man who stole the palace herb. He wants to put the emperor to death."

Things seem to be far more difficult than they imagined.

Mo Jinghao's expression was very cold, Lou Xuanying couldn't see what was going on in his heart at the moment, he was worried for the emperor, right?
No matter how many misunderstandings there were back then, after all, blood is thicker than water.

"Yue Chu, can your father's illness...can be dragged on for two or three days?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid that after two days you still won't be able to find the ten kinds of medicines, especially the snow ganoderma, which only grows in remote places outside the Great Wall and grows very slowly. It takes at least ten years to become a herb, and decades or even more to get good medicinal properties. It’s been hundreds of years, I haven’t prepared it, so it’s probably hard to find it temporarily. There are also a few other herbs..."

"Snow Ganoderma lucidum?" Lou Xuanying heard this medicine, and naturally formed its appearance in her mind, and it was so clear, "Semi-spherical shape, the flower color is white?"

"Yes, Xuanying, have you seen it?"

Lou Xuanying grinned. Three days ago, she had indeed seen it. She casually found it in the medical book in Aunt Fu's room. She never thought that she would catch such a rare medicinal herb just by taking a look.

Although it is just a painted picture, as long as it is in her hands, it can be used naturally.

In fact, Yue Chu is familiar with all kinds of medicinal herbs. If he can draw it, she can make it come true, but if she jumps into the Yellow River, she won't be able to clean it. Don't take chances as well.

So, all she had to do was find a way to get the medical book in Aunt Fu's room!
"Mo Jinghao, you are responsible for finding all the other medicinal materials. The snow ganoderma lucidum is wrapped on my body." She stood up and ran out of the hall, fearing that they would force her to question her.

Mo Jinghao and Yue Chu looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Is there Snow Ganoderma lucidum in Xiangfu?"

Mo Jinghao didn't understand either, but he was sure of one thing.

"Accordingly, there shouldn't be any in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she severed the father-daughter relationship with Prime Minister Lou five days ago. Based on her temperament, she will not go back now."

In the evening, Lou Xuanying received Wan Qiyueli's letter from Feige that she would be able to go outside the imperial city tomorrow morning, which made her extremely excited.

She was looking for someone who could help her steal the book, thinking that if there was no suitable person, she would go back to the prime minister's mansion in person, and steal the medical book after entering the mansion in the middle of the night.

After breaking through the iron shoes and having nowhere to find, Wan Qiyueli was actually expected by her.

Lou Xuanying had a peaceful night's sleep, and early the next morning, after Mo Jinghao entered the palace, she quickly changed into men's clothes, and climbed the wall to leave the palace neatly.

After leaving the mansion, she went straight to the outside of the city and waited for Wan Qiyueli's arrival at the agreed place.

At three poles in the sun, Wan Qiyueli, dressed in black, appeared in her field of vision riding alone on a horse. She ran straight over and threw herself on Wan Qiyueli's horse.

"Yueli, you are finally here."

If it wasn't for hearing her voice, Wan Qiyueli would hardly have recognized the young man in front of him. She even frowned when she rushed over, and even clenched the long sword in her hand.

"Xuanying? Why are you disguised as a man and painted your face black? I almost hit you."

"I'm afraid of being taken away. Too many people want to pull my braids." Lou Xuanying was embarrassed. She asked Tian'er to help her paint her face black early in the morning, and even picked out a rough rag to wear. In fact, the main reason is that she is too famous in the imperial city, and she is easy to be recognized by people with simple attire. Let alone seeing Wan Qiyueli at that time, it is a question of whether she can save her life.

"why?"

When asked about this, Lou Xuanying could only sigh helplessly: "It's hard to explain in one word, I will tell you in detail later."

Wan Chengyueli jumped off the horse, raised his long sword and said firmly to her, "I will protect you from now on."

"Pfft," Lou Xuanying laughed at her serious appearance, but was moved in her heart, "Okay, I will leave my safety to you from now on."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to help Yueli take one of the burdens and carried it on her shoulders.

"Hmm." Wan Qiyueli nodded at her with a light smile, then looked at the city gate, and asked uncertainly, "Xuanying, the city gate is heavily guarded by officers and soldiers...can I go in?"

"Of course I can go in. However, Yueli, although you have just been on the road for a few days, the situation is urgent. I still want you to help me." Lou Xuanying could see the fatigue on her face. Under pressure, she wanted to take Yueli back to Prince Jing's mansion to rest immediately.

But the emperor's illness can't be delayed any longer!
"I'm fine, Xuanying, just tell me, I will help you if I can."

"I want you to help me sneak into the prime minister's mansion and steal a medical book."

"The Prime Minister? Stealing medical books?" Xuanying had mentioned the Prime Minister's matter to her when she was still on Ice Snake Island. She knew that the relationship between her and the Prime Minister's Mansion was not good, but she never thought that she would go to the point of stealing things from the Qian Mansion. .

"Well, I told you before that the emperor was critically ill, and Yue Chu found out the prescription, but there was a 'snow ganoderma lucidum' in it. It was very difficult to find this herb. I accidentally saw a medical book in the prime minister's mansion a few days ago , there is an introduction of 'Snow Ganoderma lucidum', and there are color pictures, I want to get this herb through a supernatural power!" Lou Xuanying explained to her carefully, but she was stunned after the explanation.

Although Wan Qiyueli knew her little-known secret, she still couldn't believe it now.

"Okay, I've heard of Xue Lingzhi, it's really rare, I'll go now." She was stunned for a long time before she realized it, and then immediately nodded in agreement.

"This is the map of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Aunt Fu will go to accompany my grandma for dinner in half an hour. At that time, you will climb over the wall and enter Yingyue Residence from this alley, and then..." Lou Xuanying took out the prepared table from her sleeve. A map, telling her the route into the mansion in detail.

Lou Xuanying deliberately asked Lou Xuanyun to help her pay attention to Aunt Fu. After her "miscarriage", since she was able to get out of bed, Mrs. Lou felt sorry for her and brought her with her three meals a day. room of opportunity.

Wan Chengyueli took the map, read it again according to what she said, silently remembered it in her heart, and nodded to her: "Xuanying, you can go."

Lou Xuanying waited anxiously at the alley outside Yingyue's house, pacing back and forth, until Wan Qiyueli, who was dressed in black and masked her face, appeared over the wall, and she was relieved.

"Yueli, did you get the medical book? Didn't you find it?"

"Let's go." Wan Qiyueli pulled her up, performed lightness kung fu and flew up to the roof, and under the guidance of Lou Xuanying, passed through several markets and turned into the Green Bamboo Garden of King Jing's Mansion.

They didn't breathe a sigh of relief at the same time until their feet touched the ground.

"Xuanying, I was seen by a little maid when I was leaving, and then I knocked her out." Wan Qiyueli passed the medical book in his arms to Lou Xuanying. Someone found out, and she blamed herself for it.

Just now she was afraid that the people from Xiangfu would chase her out, so she took Lou Xuanying and ran away without waiting for a reply.

Lou Xuanying took the medical book excitedly, and hugged Yueli: "Don't worry, it's okay, that little maid doesn't know you, let alone you are still covering your face, it's fine if you faint. You must be tired , I will take you to rest."

"The Xiangfu...Aren't you from the Xiangfu? You have to go back, I will follow you, in case you are recognized one day..."

"Alright, leave it to me. I can still settle this kind of trivial matter. When I really recognize you, I will take it on my shoulders."

"It really doesn't matter? Go to your own house to steal books, if your father finds out..."

"Oh, I severed ties with my father a few days ago. I have done such a rebellious thing. What's the point of stealing a book, Yueli, don't you think so?" Lou Xuanying winked at her mischievously, and then After hiding the medical books, he dragged her straight to the Green Bamboo Garden.

"Come with me. I'm afraid that Manager Wan will find out that I come here again. He will definitely tell Mo Jinghao. Compared to being discovered by my father, I still think Mo Jinghao is more terrifying."

Lou Xuanying didn't seem to realize that it was impossible for them to go out in this outfit without being noticed, Wan Qiyueli really wanted to remind her, but unfortunately it was too late, they ran into the servants of the palace head-on.

When the down-and-out "boy" in coarse clothes was dragging a strange woman in black to run around King Jing's mansion, the servants were stunned for a moment, and when they came to their senses, they found that they had actually gone to the north courtyard.

They panicked and found Boss Wan, and Boss Wan brought all the guards of the palace to stop them, only to realize that the "young man" was Miss Lou!
"Miss Lou, what are you... doing?"
