"Enhanced realgar powder." Li Yan replied, and continued to sprinkle these realgar powder. Wherever they went, all the snakes retreated, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, but the dense fog hadn't dissipated, Li Yan couldn't help feeling anxious in her heart. If they couldn't find a way out, they might spend the night on this mountain of corpses.

Suddenly, a strange sound sounded, Li Yan listened intently for a while, and there seemed to be a sound of "cha, cha, cha", so she asked Long Zhen, "Listen, what is this sound?"

Long Zhen listened carefully for a while, but she still couldn't hear the sound, Li Yan replied, "Don't listen, it's coming!"

In the dense fog, a shadowy figure slowly walked towards them. It did not walk normally like ordinary people, but swayed from side to side. Its limbs seemed to be very stiff, and it walked very slowly. When it got closer, Long Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, and the hand pointing at the object was trembling, "Where is... his head?"

Seeing that the hazy figure only had body and limbs, but the neck was empty, Li Yanhui's expression also changed, and he pulled Long Zhen back non-stop.If someone told him about ghosts and gods in the past, he would have sneered at him, but since he was reborn in this world, he has never been able to refute. Seeing this scene now, his heart is utterly horrified!

"His head...is in his hand!" Li Yanhui pulled Long Zhen back while sprinkled snake repellent powder.

Long Zhen listened carefully and took a closer look, as expected, the shadow was holding a head in its hand, it seemed to be able to see them, no matter where they retreated, it always followed and approached slowly.

Li Yanhui and Long Zhen were forced to panic by it, they lost their foot several times and fell to the ground, they got up very quickly and continued to retreat.Fortunately, the black shadow walked slowly and failed to catch up with them, but Li Yanhui and the others could still see it.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, in the Eastern Zhou Palace, Xiao Qiu felt that A Xu had changed a lot since the last time he went out of the palace. As for what changed, he couldn't say.

In the past, if you disturbed A Xu while he was reading, he would give you a cold look and make you retreat consciously, but now?

"A Xu, are you reading medical books again?" Xiao Qiu sat down on A Xu's table and asked boredly.

A Xu gave a soft "um", but didn't even stare at him.

Xiaoqiu was surprised, and said again, "Ah Xu, can you let me have a look at the token from last time?"

The intention of these words was too obvious, A Xu raised his head to look at him, even with a smile on his face, "You want to leave the palace again?"

Seeing that his expression was abnormal, Xiaoqiu didn't dare to answer casually for a while, but just squeaked.

A Xu put down the scroll and said, "Although we have a token to leave the palace, we should tell the emperor after all. If we leave the palace rashly like this, where will the emperor be placed?"

Xiaoqiu couldn't believe her ears, she wrapped her arms around A Xu's neck excitedly, and asked, "A Xu, do you agree?"

A Xu froze slightly, then returned to his normal expression, and said with a smile, "What if I don't agree again, and you sneak out again?" What are you waiting for?Let's go to the emperor. "

A Xu pulled him back and said, "Since ancient times, people have been short-handed and cannibals are soft-spoken. When you go to beg the emperor, you should behave like a beggar. Just go with empty hands like this?"

A word reminded Xiaoqiu, he pondered for a while, then smiled, "The emperor likes the tea from our Dao Village the most, how about I make him a cup of tea?"

"Yeah!" A Xu nodded.

After a while, the two came to Taiwu Hall when they were ready, and as soon as they asked Zhu Can that the emperor was reviewing the papers, they took the tools from the tea room and brewed a cup of Longjing.

Zhu Can knew that the two of them were going to show their courtesies, and he also hoped that the emperor would be more open, so that his life as a slave would be easier, so he decided to let the two of them in.

A quiet tea fragrance wafted in the hall, Xiao Qiu and A Xu slowly came to Feng Nansheng's side, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Xiao Qiu has come to greet you."

"Axu has met the emperor."

Feng Nansheng was writing vigorously, and asked without raising his head when he heard the words, "It's you two, what's the matter?"

Xiao Qiu and A Xu looked at each other, and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Qiu heard that you worked hard day and night, and felt very distressed, so I specially made a cup of tea for you to express my heart!"

"Heh, when Xiaoqiu grows up, he will feel sorry for others?" Feng Nansheng looked up at him in the midst of his busy schedule, and said, "Bring me some tea, let me have a taste."

A Xu hurriedly brought over the tea and put it on the emperor's right hand side.

Feng Nansheng was not in a hurry to drink, but saw an attendant eunuch rushing forward, first tried it with a silver needle, and then poured out a small cup to try it out, after a while, the little eunuch was fine, and the tea was delivered to the emperor again at hand.

A Xu watched all this calmly.

Feng Nansheng just picked it up, took a sip, and said with a smile, "That's right, but it's still far behind your father's skill in brewing tea." Xiaoqiu heard this and laughed, "Of course Xiaoqiu can't compare to your father Yes, when father comes back, we must let him make a big pot of tea for us!"

Feng Nansheng smiled, leaned against the back of the chair, rubbed his sore wrists, and asked, "Be courteous for nothing! After all, what do you want to do?" Seeing that he saw through her intentions at a glance, Xiao Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile , "Your Majesty, I want to go out of the palace, just for a while, okay? Xiaoqiu's outline is more and more like Li Yanhui, and she said coquettish words with a smile, which made Feng Nansheng a little distracted. It has been more than half a year since he left the palace, and I don't know if he thought about himself that once, then Feng Nansheng shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Let me check your homework first, and if I am satisfied, I will let you go out once." Feng Nansheng made a condition.Xiao Qiu smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, please ask questions."

"Very confident!" Feng Nansheng couldn't help laughing, waved to him, and said, "Come here, write a picture and let me see." Xiao Qiu hurriedly came to Feng Nansheng's side and took a copy Zhang, pinching his sleeve with one hand, dipped a pen in ink with the other, and began to write the eight characters "Gentleman Wannian, Jieer Jingfu".

A gentleman enjoys ten thousand years, and God bestows the blessing of light.

Feng Nansheng looked at it, and couldn't help laughing, "You flatterer!" Then he began to look carefully, and said, "Yes, fresh and elegant, beautiful and tall, but why does I look familiar, um, and A Xu's The words are very similar."

A Xu was startled, he didn't expect Feng Nansheng's memory to be so good, he remembered that Feng Nansheng had only seen his handwriting once.It was when the adoptive father was still in the palace, and once he was checking his homework, the emperor came to take a look, and said with a smile, "This word is vigorous and powerful, and the edge is slightly exposed on the hidden peak. It will be a climate in the future!"

Xiao Qiu laughed, "The emperor has good eyesight, because A Xu's handwriting was good when he was young, and I practiced his handwriting by imitating him."

"So that's how it is." Feng Nansheng got up, came to Xiaoqiu's right hand, took his hand holding the pen with one hand, wrote the eight big characters on the rice paper again, and said, "You are the prince, the future emperor, the font You have to form your own school, go back and practice according to this calligraphy."

Xiao Qiu hurriedly blew away the handwriting, and looked at Feng Nansheng with some hesitation, with clear meaning in his eyes.

Feng Nansheng saw his intentions at a glance, and said, "I keep my word, and my words are good. I will let someone go out of the palace with you in a while, remember! There are some places that you must never go again! You are the prince, you have to wait Pay attention to your identity!" Xiao Qiu hurriedly nodded and agreed one by one, her heart was already extremely excited, and she wished she could fly out of the palace.

A Xu, on the other hand, still had a calm expression, neither happy nor sad, silently looking at the tabletop of the imperial study room. In addition to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there were also piles of memorials, and only a pot of blooming orchids was placed in the corner.

Feng Nansheng also took a look at A Xu, he was so stable at such a young age, it really resembled Li Yanhui's temperament.I couldn't help but sighed in my heart, closed my eyes and waved my hands, saying, "You guys go, remember to come back before dark!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Qiu bowed to A Xu, and then exited the Taiwu Hall.

Li Yanhui and Long Zhen were forced by the shadow that looked like a man and a ghost, and they didn't know how long they retreated until Long Zhen exclaimed, "The fog is gone! The fog is gone!"

Only then did Li Yan realize that the sight around them had become clear at some point. Although the sky was just getting dark, but looking far away, wherever they went was no longer hazy.

"That strange thing didn't catch up!" Long Zhen discovered in surprise.

Li Yan listened to the normal sound of insects chirping in the grass, and pondered, "It's not that the fog has cleared, but that we've come out of the maze^" Long Zhen thought for a while and asked, "Why did we come out? It's been spinning around for a while."

Li Yanhui put her hands on her chest and supported her chin, thought for a while and said, "It was the thing that held its head in its hand that helped us out. It seemed to be running around without any rules just now, but thinking about it carefully, every time we Going off, that thing will push us onto the right path so we can get out."

"He, is he helping us?" Long Zhen couldn't believe it. The scene just now made him a little creepy. From the cave before to the barren mountain now, it seems that someone is always helping them behind the scenes. Who could this person be? Woolen cloth?Li Yan was thinking back, the imperial forest soldiers who had been lost before finally found them.

"Prince Liang, it's getting dark, you should hurry back to the palace." One of the leaders stepped forward and said.

Li Yan nodded back, put the basket on her back, and went down the mountain with Long Zhen, and rode back to the palace.

Xia Shiqian waited anxiously in the palace, and finally heard the report from the palace man, "King Liang is back!" Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Yu Zhu clenched her fist slightly, with a look of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

In the next few days, Li Yanhui locked herself in the house, and no one was allowed to disturb her, and only Long Zhen was by her side to help.

Some of the picked herbs need to be washed, dried and ground into powder, some need to be extracted for their juice, and some need to be roasted and boiled for juice. Various processes are extremely complicated.All of a sudden, the whole small courtyard was filled with a strong smell of medicine, which made Li Yanhui very painful, so she could only grit her teeth and brace herself.

Long Zhen saw the source of his discomfort, did not expect this Feng Rongyue to be afraid of water and wine, and now she added another fear of medicine, she couldn't help laughing, so she asked the palace people for a few pots of herbs to put in the corner of the room, the effect was negligible.

That night, Li Yanhui drove Long Zhen to rest, and she was about to tidy up and go to bed, when Zhao Feng rushed back and jumped in from the window.

"My lord!"

Li Yanhui helped him up, closed the window smoothly, and asked, "How did you find out?"
