Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

On the outskirts of Xilin County, Luzhou, there is a red maple forest. In recent years, it has become a well-known autumn viewing spot in Xilin County.

As soon as autumn arrives, there is an endless stream of people coming to admire the maple leaves. From a distance, the maple forest looks like a sea of ​​fire. The maple leaves, shining red in the autumn sun, look like red butterflies dancing.

Deep in the maple forest, there is a Red Maple Garden. It is said that a certain nobleman in the capital loved this fiery maple forest, so he bought this property in Xilin County. The area around the garden is the private territory of the owner of the garden. Because the owner does not like to be disturbed, the place is usually heavily guarded and tourists are not allowed to wander around.

On this day, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Rong Zhixing brought Xia Feng into Danfeng Villa.

"Zhixing has met Lord Chu."

In the study room of the villa, Rong Zhixing saluted a young man in his twenties. The man had a handsome appearance, a strong body, and a precious sword hanging from his waist. Although he was wearing an ordinary brocade robe that could not reveal his identity, Rong Zhixing did not dare to look down on him.

Everyone knows that the Crown Prince has a pair of fifth-rank sword-bearing guards with strong martial arts skills, who were personally granted by the current emperor. They are brothers, the elder one is Chu Ying and the younger one is Chu Xiong, and they are capable generals that the Crown Prince relies on very much.

At this moment, the person standing in front of him was Chu Ying.

"Mr. Rong, please don't be polite."

Chu Ying raised his hand hastily, and then his expression became serious: "Is this place safe?"

"Don't worry, sir. This garden was purchased by Rong two years ago. Everyone here is Rong's confidant. I'll let Xia Feng guard outside the door at this moment. No one can get close."

"That's great." Chu Ying sat down, picked up the cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and frowned slightly.

"Why don't you stay by His Highness's side right now, but come all the way to see Rong?"

Chu Ying gently put down the teacup and swallowed the tea in his mouth.

This tea is a little too strong and has a bitter taste.

"Your Highness has left the capital incognito."

Chu Ying's voice was very soft, but it was like a thunder exploding in his ears, and Rong Zhixing's eyes suddenly widened.

"what?"

"As you have heard, His Highness has left the capital."

"But your highness's health..." Rong Zhixing's face had changed. He felt his heart spasm, and a feeling of panic spread from his chest...

"There have been many changes in the fiefdom of King Chen, and rumors of refugees have reached the capital. His Highness is worried and insists on going there in person to investigate, despite our dissuasion. He has now left the capital in disguise." Chu Ying paced a few steps in the room, looking at Rong Zhixing and sighed, "His Highness cares about the world, and the people in King Chen's fiefdom were displaced. He couldn't eat or sleep after learning about it. If he doesn't go there to deal with it himself, he won't be at ease."

"Prince Chen is really hateful." Rong Zhixing was filled with anger. "He has great ambitions but little talent. He can't even manage his own fiefdom properly. Not only do the people suffer, but Your Highness has also been exhausted from traveling thousands of miles for this..."

"You are wrong." Chu Ying suddenly interrupted him.

"what?"

"Prince Chen is not a man with great ambitions but little talent. Your Highness has already made a profound analysis of this uncle."

"Oh?" Rong Zhixing asked, "What did your highness say?"

"Prince Chen is not a man of great ambitions but little talent. On the contrary, he is shrewd and ambitious. The chaos in his fiefdom is not due to his poor governance, but intentional."

Rong Zhixing was startled.

"Why?" He pondered for a moment, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that Prince Chen has other plans?"

Although he does not hold any official position, his father is the Grand Marshal and an important official in the court. Influenced by his father, he is much more sensitive to the conspiracies and plots of various factions in the court than ordinary people.

As for what the purpose is?

The answer is obvious.

Chu Ying's eyes flickered and he nodded approvingly at him.

No wonder His Highness wanted to win over Rong Zhixing five years ago.

Rong Zhixing was only seventeen years old at that time. At that time, he thought that this kid was a second-generation official, a dandy, who was not good at anything and was the best at having fun. But he did not expect that His Highness would have a keen eye for talent, see that he was a business genius, and subdue him under his command.

If they, the close ministers and guards around His Highness, are in the open, then Rong Zhixing is in the dark. The two are in the open and in the dark, assisting His Highness to move forward cautiously in this court full of thorns.

"Your Highness is extremely talented and wise, and we are not able to match him." Rong Zhixing sighed.

This praise really came from his heart.

He still remembered the scene when he first met His Highness five years ago. Such a peerless person easily conquered his unruly heart. From then on, there was no longer a second son of the Rong family who was a cockfighting errand boy in the world, but a businessman Rong Zhixing who could make full use of his strengths and make a fortune.

"To ensure the safety of His Highness, I have gone ahead and come to discuss with Master Rong. His Highness's trip is a top secret operation. We have arranged for someone in the capital to pretend to be His Highness and live in the Crown Prince's Mansion. All visitors are refused on the grounds of recuperation. Except for us, His Highness's confidants, no one knows that His Highness has left the capital."

"Don't worry, Lord Chu. Rong will arrange people to secretly support you along the way and will never let Your Highness fall into any dangerous situation." Rong Zhixing immediately understood what he should do.

In the past few years, with the secret funding and support from the Crown Prince, his business empire has covered almost the entire border of Qi State. He has shops or inns in all major state capitals, like a huge network. He can mobilize and transmit manpower, material resources and information from all over the country at any time.

"Thank you, Young Master Rong." Chu Ying solemnly entrusted, "You must not reveal your true identity."

"Rong understands."

The two discussed some details and determined various matters such as the channels for transmitting information, code words for contact, and contact methods.

Finally, Chu Ying asked, "I wonder how the Xuanhu Pavilion of Rong Gongzi is progressing?"

Rong Zhixing was slightly startled and replied, "It's already open."

"Mr. Rong, please keep an eye out for the Lingxin Fruit that Your Highness needs."

"Please rest assured, sir. Rong will do his best."

In fact, one of the main reasons for opening Xuanhu Pavilion was to find medicine.

When Rong Zhixing mentioned Xuanhu Pavilion, he thought of the killer Yuan Qifeng, so he mentioned it to Chu Ying. Unexpectedly, it actually attracted Chu Ying's attention and vigilance.

"The assassination case shocked the government and the public back then. Your Highness has been secretly sending people to investigate the matter. It was recently discovered that the assassin organization Yuan Qifeng belongs to, the Soul-Sucking Tower, may have some relationship with Prince Chen." Chu Ying said.

This was something Rong Zhixing had not expected.

Following this clue and thinking carefully, Rong Zhixing was secretly shocked: "So, the former Luzhou prefect Wei Junzhi might have been killed by Prince Chen? His purpose in doing this was to control Luzhou?"

"That's right. The current Luzhou prefect Qian Gui is the man of Prince Chen. Fortunately, Your Highness had the foresight to place Lu Yiquan in the position of Luzhou governor in advance. Otherwise, the entire Luzhou would have been in the hands of Prince Chen now."

"In Luzhou, the Luyun Mountain range stretches from east to west, rich in all kinds of medicinal materials, and is known as the natural medicine storehouse of Qi State." Rong Zhixing sneered, "Prince Chen is indeed up to something!"

When a war breaks out, casualties are high. Whoever has the medicine will be protected.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really sees things clearly.

How could such a King Chen be a man with great ambitions but little talent?

Alas, he is still far from being as good as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
