Late at night.
Chu Changsheng followed Murong Bi up the mountain.
After walking for a long time, I didn't see any luminous herbs.
"Eldest Princess, are you tired?" Murong Bi stopped and said, "You are not lucky today, why not go back."
Chu Changsheng looked at the dark mountain forest, nodded and said: "Okay, go back."
She is not a one-minded person. Since she can't find it, she can just come back another day.
She turned around, but her foot came up empty.
Murong Bi, who was beside her, grabbed her wrist, and the two of them rolled down the mountain road.
Chu Changsheng felt that her head was being protected in a very warm embrace, and various sounds passed by her ears. After a while, she rolled to the bottom of the mountain.
"Princess, does it hurt anywhere?"
An urgent voice sounded in her ears.
She hurriedly said: "I'm fine, how about you."
"I'm fine too." Murong Bi then noticed that he was holding Chu Changsheng and quickly let go of her.
If the night hadn't been too dark, Chu Changsheng would have noticed the blush on his cheeks.
However, she keenly smelled the smell of blood: "Are you bleeding?"
She followed the smell and found a long gash on his leg from a tree stump on the mountain, and the flesh and blood could be vaguely seen.
She stood up quickly: "Someone is here!"
None of the secret guards who had always stayed close together appeared.
Chu Changsheng couldn't help but feel annoyed. The group of people usually followed him every step of the way, but just when they were needed, they disappeared one by one.
"Eldest Princess, have you seen the grass next to the stone? It has pointed leaves and purple-red rhizomes." Murong Bi's voice was very gentle, "Eldest Princess, please pick two roots and it will be enough to stop the bleeding."
Chu Changsheng said in surprise: "Your eyes are so good, you can see clearly."
Murong Bi had a smile on his face: "There is usually this kind of herb at the foot of the mountain, growing on the edge of the rocks. Please look for it, princess."
Chu Changsheng quickly picked the herbs, and Murong Bi bit them into pieces and put them in a piece of cloth, pricking them on his own wounds. Then he found a long stick and used it as a crutch, and said, "I have been to this mountain before. Let’s go down this road, bypass a village, and arrive at the west gate of the capital. Don’t be afraid, princess.”
Although it was dark, he could indeed tell the direction. After walking for about an hour, the two finally arrived at the city gate.
It can be said that from birth to now, Chu Changsheng has never traveled so far in one breath.
When she wanted to give up, she saw Murong Bi holding a stick and walking calmly, so she persisted.
However, when we arrived at the city gate, it was closed and would not be opened until dawn the next day.
Murong Bi took off his outer shirt and spread it on the ground: "I have no choice but to make do with the princess here. In about two hours, the city gate will open."
Chu Changsheng's hand was originally placed on the jade pendant around her waist. This was proof of her identity and she could enter and leave the capital at any time.
However, seeing his actions, she loosened her hand on the jade pendant, sat down on the ground, and asked curiously: "I heard that Duke Xingguo wanted to marry you, but you refused, why?"
Murong Bi looked at the darkness in the distance and said: "My parents hope that I will get married and start a career, and take the path they have paved long ago - to enter the court and become an official. However, I don't like officialdom. I like to treat diseases and save people. The highest level of a doctor is to be a doctor." Doctor, but my father said that it would be a bit shameful for the son of a dignified official to become an imperial doctor."
"It is true that there is no legitimate son in the aristocratic family who serves as an imperial physician." Chu Changsheng shook his head, "But an imperial physician also has a high-level official status, how can it be embarrassing?"
Murong Bi looked at Chu Changsheng with long eyes.
He suddenly said: "Why don't the eldest princess recruit me to be your consort?"
"What?" Chu Changsheng looked blank, "Why, why did you suddenly say that?"
Murong Bi's face turned red again.
After their chance encounter on the street last time, he dreamed of the princess's face every day, and then he realized that he was lovesick.
For the first time, he realized that he might be a superficial person who actually fell in love with the beauty of a woman.
So, he went to find information about the princess.
In his mind, princesses are arrogant and domineering. Maybe after seeing the princess's deeds, he can expel that face from his mind.
But he never expected that he would sink deeper and deeper.
The eldest princess was conferred at the age of eight, and she began to travel westward with the Emperor and the Queen Mother at the age of nine. When people from all over the Jin Dynasty mentioned the eldest princess, there was only one word, and that was benevolence.
Wherever the Supreme Emperor went, the bandits died.
Wherever the eldest princess goes, there is no suffering.
Many poor people who are struggling at the bottom expect the eldest princess to come to them every day and long for the eldest princess to save them from misery.
When the eldest princess was twelve years old, she took over the Cigu Hall and opened a branch church to provide relief to the elderly, disabled people, etc. who had no one to support them...
It can be said that the eldest princess has a good reputation all over the world.
The more I understand, the more shocked I am.
Murong Bizheng was about to speak.
Suddenly, someone walked over from the side.
This is the gate of the capital. Every morning, there will be many people waiting to enter the city, and there are many cars and horses parked here.
A young man in silk satin walked towards Chu Changsheng and Murong Bi: "Are you two also waiting to enter the capital?"
Chu Changsheng raised his head.
When she saw the boy's face, she was suddenly stunned.
This face seems to have been seen somewhere before...
Murong Bi had already stood up and replied: "That's right, I don't know if I have any advice?"
"I saw you two sitting on the ground, and I specially invited you to come to the carriage to drink tea." The young man said with a smile, "This grassland is very humid. Sitting for a long time is not good for your health. Please."
Chu Changsheng stood up and asked involuntarily: "Where does this young master come from?"
The young man cupped his hands and said, "My home is in Luochuan. I came to the capital this time for business. I originally planned to find an inn on the outskirts of Beijing to stay first, but for some reason it was full, so I had to wait at the city gate."
"Luochuan..."
Chu Changsheng murmured.
This was her father's former fiefdom of King Pingxi. That year she was kidnapped by the Dongling people, and Xie Shiyun rescued her, so she lost her memory.
Later, the queen mother arranged for Xie Shiyun to be sent to Luochuan, and she also arranged for a childless couple to be his parents.
The young man in front of him should be Xie Shiyun.
This face was somewhat similar to Xie Shi'an, so she recognized it at a glance.
Chu Changsheng saw that Xie Shiyun was well dressed, and his life should be pretty good. There was no need to mention the past.
She smiled and said: "Then I'll trouble you, young master. I don't know what to call him?"
The young man said warmly: "My surname is Luo, and I have one single name, Luo Cheng."
"Brother Luo." Murong Bi handed over his hand, and the two parties seemed to know each other.
They walked to the carriage together and looked at the carriage. Murong Bi hesitated.
The reason why he agreed to come was because he did not want to wrong the princess.
But the princess got into the carriage and stayed in the same room with the foreign man, which was detrimental to her reputation.
Just when he was hesitating, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a woman with a big belly smiled and said: "Get in the carriage quickly, the tea is already cooked."
"This is my wife." The young man said, "You two, go up. It's okay."
Chu Changsheng got on the carriage. There was a lot of space inside, more than enough for the Westerners.
