Li Yuanshao’s pulse was very weak, and there was a faint sign that the lamp was about to run out of oil. Fortunately, Chu Qingzhi was here in time, so there was still a chance to save him.

Chu Qingzhi retracted her hand and turned to look at Gong Wentang. “Where’s your snow lotus?”

Gong Wentang immediately handed the snow lotus to Chu Qingzhi. “Chusheng was imprisoned and was seriously injured. He hasn’t woken up yet and didn’t have time to prepare the medicine.”

Chu Qingzhi did not take the snow lotus. “Keep the snow lotus well.” She walked to the table and wrote down a prescription before handing it to Gong Wentang. “Find the herbs on it for me in half a day.”

Gong Wentang pondered for a moment. For some reason, he believed Chu Qingzhi and took the prescription. “I’ll go immediately.”

Not long after Gong Wentang left, Li Yuanshao woke up. When he saw the two of them, he was very happy. His pale face lit up. “You’re back to look for me?”

Chu Qingzhi retreated to the side and let Tang Jinghong talk to Li Yuanshao.

Tang Jinghong walked to Li Yuanshao’s bed and said with concern, “Seventh Prince, take care of your health first. Your health is the foundation of everything.”

The light in Li Yuanshao’s eyes dimmed. “You know my health is deteriorating?”

Tang Jinghong comforted him. “Don’t worry. Xiao Qing knows medicine. She will treat you.”

Upon hearing that, Li Yuanshao’s eyes lit up. He was so ecstatic that he looked at Chu Qingzhi and asked carefully, “Young Hero, can you really treat me?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “I’ve already asked Gong Wentang to buy the herbs.”

Li Yuanshao said excitedly, “Thank you, Young Hero. As long as you can treat me, I’m willing to give you anything within my abilities.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “I’ll remember your promise. 1 hope you won’t go back on your word when I need your help in the future.”

Li Yuanshao said firmly, “1 won’t go back on my word.”

After suppressing the joy in his heart, Li Yuanshao cut to the chase. “Since you came back to look for me, that means you’ve agreed to help me, right?”

Tang Jinghong said, “Yes, but I’m helping you in another way. Moreover, before that, we want to see your ability.”

Li Yuanshao’s expression slowly became serious. “I’m all ears.”

Tang Jinghong’s tone was slow and clear. “Reveal Li Yuan’an’s crime to the public within three days and behead him openly.”

Li Yuanshao’s heart skipped a beat.

It was not difficult to kill Li Yuan’an, but it was not easy to kill him openly. First of all, Princess Consort wouldn’t allow that.

After the governor of the northern border city was killed by Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong, The Princess Consort planted her people in that position. If he wanted to kill Li Yuan’an, the governor would definitely not cooperate.

Li Yuanshao slowly tightened his grip on the blanket and lowered his gaze…

These two people were too mysterious and powerful. Even their medical skills were unfathomable. If he succeeded, he would have two great helpers. Even if he failed, it wouldn’t hurt. Besides, he really wanted to kill Li Yuan’an.

No matter what, it was worth the risk.

“Alright, we’ll see in three days.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. If Li Yuanshao wanted to be the Lord of the Northern Border who commanded the bravest soldiers, he had to prove his ability.

Gong Wentang bought all the herbs back within the time Chu Qingzhi requested. He spent a huge sum of money. Even if he was rich, it was still painful to him.

Chu Qingzhi teased, “Is it very expensive to buy the herbs?”

Gong Wentang immediately waved his hand. “It’s not expensive. Yuanshao is rich anyway. It’s just a drop in the bucket for him.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and took the herbs to an empty room. She said, “Don’t disturb me when I’m preparing the herbs.”

Gong Wentang hurriedly said, “I definitely won’t disturb you. I definitely won’t disturb you.” If she failed, the ten thousand taels of silver he spent would be wasted.

He thought about it and decided to sit at the foot of the stairs outside the room to prevent anyone from interrupting her.

On the other side, Tang Jinghong received many more letters…

The garrison in the northern border had been mobilized, but it was unclear in which direction they were heading.

The location of the secret army was still under investigation.

After the incident in the bamboo forest, Tang Jinghong knew why he couldn’t find the secret army. A master must have set up an illusion to hide the army

Qin Yajun and Qin Fengnian had already been captured by the secret guards and locked up in a secret place. The fake Lord of the Northern Border had sent people to search for the siblings.

There were some clues about the whereabouts of the weapons forged from the iron mine, and they were still searching for it.

The silver mined from the silver mine had been secretly transported to the mansion in the bamboo forest. After the location of the mansion was exposed, the silver was temporarily stored in the cave, but last night, it was taken away by a group of men in black.

The secret guards followed, but they were discovered. One was dead, and the other was seriously injured.

In addition, there was news of the dowry.

There were also many letters. After Tang Jinghong read them, he replied to them one by one and asked the secret guards to send them out. The situation in the northern border became more and more tense.

After spending an hour, Chu Qingzhi refined all the herbs into pills. The pills were brown and the size of a pinky. The surface was very round and smooth. It was white and looked like a spiritual pill.

After refining a total of 50 pills, she placed them in a bottle and brought it to Li Yuanshao’s room.

“This is your medicine. Take one every day. You’ll be fine after finishing it.” Chu Qingzhi handed the pills to Li Yuanshao.

Li Yuanshao sat at the head of the bed and took the medicine bottle. “Young Hero, 1 will always remember your kindness.”

Chu Qingzhi only treated all of this as helping Tang Jinghong. She did not care about other people’s gratitude. “Take the medicine and rest well. Then, think about how to deal with Li Yuan’an.”

Li Yuanshao nodded solemnly. “I’m planning.”

“Then 1 won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Young Hero, take care.”

Chu Qingzhi came to Tang Jinghong’s room. Tang Jinghong had just sent out all the letters. At this moment, he was standing in front of the window and staring at the parasol tree outside. He exuded a solemn aura and his eyes were deep. No one knew what he was thinking.

Chu Qingzhi walked over quietly and hugged Tang Jinghong from behind.

“Jinghong, what are you thinking about?”

Tang Jinghong hugged her. “I’m wondering if there’s any way to avoid this war.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Have you thought of it?”

Tang Jinghong’s brows were filled with worry. “The garrison in the northern border has already moved. It’s very difficult to stop it.”

If the Lord of the Northern Border was real, they could consider negotiating with him. However, this Lord of the Northern Border was fake. Now that they had exposed him, he was definitely desperate and wanted to go ail out.

Chu Qingzhi changed the topic. “Do you know the location of the secret army?”

Tang Jinghong said, “We’re still searching, but 1 suspect that it’s hidden by an illusion. It’s very difficult for our people to find it.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, This fake Lord of the Northern Border really has a lot of capable people under him.. “Do you know the general direction? We’ll go search for it personally!”
