After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight
Chapter 32 This Dagger is for His Highness
"Please wait for a moment, Your Highness. I have something to do." Chu Xi knew that it was very chaotic outside, but time waits for no one.
Not only does the time limit for completing the mission not wait, there are also bandits in this village.
If they are unable to find me for a long time, they will definitely think that I have broken through. In order to protect their lives and prevent the information from leaking out, they will definitely cut off the roots and kill people to silence them.
Even the medicinal herbs that were originally hidden might not be spared.
Chu Xi has never thought of himself as a kind person, but once he thought about it, he realized that this batch of medicinal herbs given to him were the life-saving medicines that the patients in Yunzhou City had been waiting for.
There were many children like the little girl that day who were so sick that they were on the verge of life and death, and she could not sit idly by.
Not for the mission, not for justice, just to have a clear conscience.
"Your Highness, if Qi Bai doesn't come back in half an hour, it means I may not be able to leave. You need to act according to the circumstances."
Chu Xi took out the dagger she had hidden from the sole of her boots and put it in the Ninth Princess's hand, "This dagger is for Your Highness, protect yourself."
The Ninth Princess' eyes were slightly red. She seemed to have guessed that Chu Xi would go this time and had prepared for the worst. She grasped Chu Xi's sleeves tightly with her fingers, without saying a word, but not letting go.
Her fear and panic were clearly expressed in those beautiful eyes.
Chu Xi made up his mind, pulled away his sleeves and turned around.
"Its white."
Chu Xi originally thought that the Ninth Princess called her this time because she wanted to follow her like before.
But she didn't expect that when she turned around, she would be met with the bright smile of the Ninth Princess.
Zhou Qingmin spoke softly, staring at Chu Xi, "Be sure to be safe. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Your Highness, remember what I said. If I haven't returned by dark, there is no need to wait. Your Highness should find a chance to escape down the mountain." Chu Xi couldn't take her to do those dangerous things, so he could only hide her here.
Zhou Qingmin's eyes turned red as she watched Chu Qibai's figure disappear from her sight. She hid in the cupboard, which was covered with some things placed there by Chu Xi.
The purpose is to cover up Zhou Qingmin. Unless the bandits search very carefully, the upper layer can be dealt with perfunctorily.

dungeon.
Rong Jinfeng and a few others gathered together and heard a lot of noise from searching outside the dungeon. Some bandits had also searched their dungeon, but after searching once and not seeing anyone suspicious, they left again.
There is little light in this dungeon, and even the windows are very tall and small, probably only the size of two palms.
They couldn't see what was happening outside even when they stood on tiptoe, so they could only lie on the wall and listen carefully to the noise outside.
"Lord Rong, there's such a big commotion outside, are you looking for someone?" Yu Huaxuan asked.
Rong Jinfeng's mind raced, "There are two possibilities. One is that someone escaped from the village and was discovered, and the bandits haven't found him yet. The other is that someone sneaked up and was discovered."
"The former means that the person who could have done this is either the princess or Chu Qibai, or maybe Qibai saved His Highness and is now hiding somewhere? The latter... means that our reinforcements have arrived."
These two speculations made Yu Huaxuan and the other three feel hot in their hearts. Of course, the premise is the latter. The former is not a good thing, which means that their position is more dangerous.
The latter means that they are going to be saved.
"Then which one do you think is more likely, Lord Rong?" Yu Huaxuan didn't know much about Chu Qibai, and he didn't know much about His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and Lord Tang either, as they all belonged to the class of princes and nobles.
They were ordinary minor officials who were simply out of reach. Among those present, only Rong Jinfeng had any interactions with them.
Rong Jinfeng didn't dare to speak nonsense and could only give the answer that he didn't know.
Chu Xi came out of the bamboo house. It was obviously more convenient for her to be alone. People searching outside were coming and going, and she accidentally found a house.
I found it by chance. The third in command was talking to a doctor. The third in command asked the doctor for... poison, preferably the kind that would work immediately after drinking it.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xi narrowed his eyes and immediately hid from the window of the bamboo house to a more secluded location, continuing to eavesdrop by sticking close to the bamboo house.
The doctor seemed reluctant to do such a thing, for there was a sound of a knife being drawn in the room, and then something being split open with considerable movement.
The doctor was frightened and took out the poison, telling the Third Master, "This is Hedinghong, the most poisonous poison I can get."
Chu Xi had a bad feeling. This person was probably trying to kill people to silence them. This medicine must have been prepared for Rong Jinfeng.
Almost without thinking, she kicked a stone, one at the window and the other at the back of the big tree next to her. The trunk was hit and shook slightly.
It created the illusion that she accidentally bumped into something while eavesdropping and ran away in a hurry.
"Who?"
When the third in command heard the noise, he opened the door and flew out without thinking. When he saw the branches shaking, he immediately chased in that direction.
Chu Xi watched the man leave and quickly slipped into the house.
The doctor had just collapsed on the ground, feeling relieved that the third in command had left, when he felt something cold on his neck. He lowered his eyes and felt a sharp knife resting on his neck.
"Don't kill me, my brave man. I know nothing."
The doctor was so frightened that he quickly raised his hand.
Chu Xi's knife approached mercilessly, "Give me the antidote for the muscle softening powder on those people in the dungeon."
The doctor didn't dare to hesitate and went to get it quickly.
Chu Xi didn't trust anyone, so when the doctor was taking the medicine, he said again, "Give me the soft tendon powder as well."
The doctor quickly gave Chu Xi both the tendon softening powder and the antidote, and told her which bottle contained the antidote.
Chu Xi took it and without thinking, he used the doctor as an experiment, asking him to take the medicine for softening tendons, and then tried the antidote...
It had no effect, and instead stained the lips black.
"If I don't try, those people will probably die in my hands, right?" Chu Xi was not surprised. Maybe it was because she had seen a lot of swords and sabers along the way, so she seemed to be extremely accepting of this result.
She cut the doctor's arm with a knife. The cut was not deep, but it was enough to scare the doctor, who was barely able to even tie a chicken.
"Antidote!"
The doctor first used a muscle softening powder and then took poison. Fortunately, it didn't cause a fatal blow, otherwise the patient would have died.
His eyes fell on a cabinet. He was so limp that he could only signal with his eyes.
Chu Xi found the antidote based on his eye signals and used him as an experiment. He didn't eat it, but smelled it. After smelling it, his strength was restored.
Well, I got it right this time.
Just as the doctor was about to shout, Chu Xi quickly sealed his mute point and knocked him unconscious.
Chu Xi was about to go out when she felt someone approaching, almost to the door of the bamboo house, and then she realized...
It can be seen that the person who came is quite skilled in martial arts.
Chu Xi clenched the knife in her hand, and dodged accurately before the sword stabbed at her. She quickly changed hands, and the knife appeared in her left hand. The sharp knife brushed past the man's face.
If the man's sword hadn't blocked it in time, his face would have been scratched.
