Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 170 Looking for a gift

It was Hebai's wedding, and everyone in the palace was busy preparing again.

Dongxia asked Aunt Meng what kind of gift should be sent, and Aunt Meng thought about it.

"There is no shortage of ordinary things, so there is no point in giving them to you because of your relationship. There are also rare items in the palace, and they are not surprised. Small gadgets are also hard to find, which is really difficult."

Dongxia held her hand and said coquettishly, "Good Aunt Meng, help me think about it, I really can't think of it."

Aunt Meng smiled, hugged her and shook her, "Okay, let Aunt Meng help you think about it."

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the albizia flower embroidery on her skirt, "You are good at embroidering, why not give me some crane white embroidery? Or a brocade quilt?"

These are simple for Dongxia, but she always feels that she can't express her feelings. She usually embroiders some sachets and soft pillows for Ming Lanying and others when she has time.

Dongxia wanted to give something else, and she thought hard for two days. She turned over a basket of medicinal materials for a long time without realizing it.

Mr. Zhao was studying the decoction to relieve Ning'er's growing pains. As soon as he came out of the bamboo basket, he saw her absent-minded Huohuo medicinal materials, and quickly strode forward to grab the basket.

"What are you thinking about, girl!"

Dongxia quickly came to her senses, "Grandpa, Hebai is getting married, what should I give him as a gift?"

Mr. Zhao waved his hand to drive her away, "I absent-mindedly don't want Huo Huo's medicinal materials, and I want to go slowly."

Dongxia had no choice but to wipe her hands, sighed and walked aside, "We can't really give them medicine then, right?"

"Send medicine?" Zhao Laosha nodded matter-of-factly, "It's not impossible."

Dongxia: "Huh?"

"There is no need to send ordinary medicine. If we can find these few medicinal materials and make this rare soul-preserving pill, it will be more valuable than those detoxification pills and beauty pills. It can save lives at critical times."

Dongxia was surprised, "Grandpa, is this true? Why have I never heard of such a good thing?"

Mr. Zhao knocked her, "Of course! They use rare and precious medicinal materials. You are lucky to be able to collect them all. It is rare in the world to be able to make them, but the efficacy of the medicine is also rare in the world. You can still live even if half of your body is missing." Come down."

"So powerful?! Is there really an elixir of life?"

Mr. Zhao knocked her again and said, "Where did you read about medical skills? The way of immortality goes against the laws of nature, and will eventually become a thing that is neither human nor ghost. Medicine is just medicine after all, it is an auxiliary to the body. It can save the body." People can harm others, but there is no immortality, only longevity.”

Dongxia chuckled, "Grandpa, there are so many good things here. If there is any magic medicine one day, I have to take a look first!"

Zhao Laohen poked her in the forehead with irony, "If I have any good things that you don't know about, you stinky girl, just take them away from me and give them to your sister-in-law."

Dongxia took advantage of the situation and shook her head, "Grandpa, you have taught me since I was a child to repay kindness. We owe our current life to my sister-in-law. Of course, I must be nice to my sister-in-law!"

After Dongxia gave birth to a child, her admiration for Ming Lanying moved from the bottom of her heart to the outside. Now she is like a fan of "my sister-in-law is the sky, my sister-in-law is the earth, and my sister-in-law is a fairy descending to earth".

Mr. Zhao copied a medicine list and threw it to her. His good granddaughter had given birth to a child and became like this. As a doctor, he had nothing to do, so he had to keep his sight out of sight.

"Take it, take it, these things are not available in ordinary drug stores, but the border fortress is vast and rich in products, maybe you can find all these herbs."

"I'm going right now!"

Meng Huaisu picked up Dongxia later on duty and was told that she had not returned yet after going out to collect herbs.

Meng Huaisu glanced at the sky and saw that it was still early. He thought she would be back soon, so he helped Mr. Zhao in his yard and waited for her return.

As a result, Dongxia didn't come back for two days, and Meng Huaisu had to wait for two days in the palace.

He Bai and Shan Zhao took a break from their busy schedule and came back to play. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Meng Huaisu and Ming Lanying staring at each other with big eyes, and Mr. Zhao looked worried at the side.

"Sister-in-law, don't you call us during the meeting? That's too much!"

Shan Zhao leaned into her ear and said, "Why do I feel like something happened? Don't say anything yet."

Aunt Cai quietly gestured to the two of them, and the two of them shut up silently and pulled them aside.

Meng Huaisu rubbed his tired eyes, "May I ask the prince and princess, where is my wife?"

Ming Lanying: "..."

How did she know? She only found out now that she didn't come back for two days in winter and summer.

Ye Juelu sighed silently. He hasn't come back for two days, and he hasn't even sent any news. Then something must have happened.

"He Bai Shan Zhao obeys the order."

The two of them were excited, and their conditioned reflexes restrained their lazy postures, and they immediately stood up straight, "The end is here!"

"Take four teams of people up the mountain to find Lady Meng."

"Yes!"

He Bai responded and then remembered, "Brother, something happened to Dongxia when he went up the mountain alone?"

Ming Lanying stood up with the little black panther in her arms, "I haven't been back for two days, so you two hurry up to find someone. Aunt Cai, you and the servants in the house who are familiar with the area will also go to find someone."

"The servant knows."

He Bai quickly took Shan Zhao out, Ming Lanying carried the little black panther to the Beast Garden, and Ye Juelu patted Meng Huaisu.

"Let's go together."

Mr. Zhao also wanted to go, but was stopped by the two of them, "Just wait here, we will find Dongxia."

Mr. Zhao sat in his original position and muttered: "She used to go to collect herbs alone, and she would be back before dark."

Meng Huaisu was even more anxious, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely bring Dongxia back."

Meng Huaisu hurriedly followed Hebai Shanzhao's team.

Ye Juelu turned around and went to the backyard to find Ming Lanying, and found that she had organized two teams of birds and beasts, and set off aggressively.

"Miss."

Ming Lanying held her whistle and blew, and two groups of birds and beasts came out.

Ming Lanying held the little black panther in one hand and pulled him with the other, "Let's go and look for him together. There are so many wild beasts in the mountains and forests. What if we have bad luck in winter and summer!"

Ming Lanying was walking in a hurry and almost got disturbed. Ye Juelu quickly held her hand.

"Don't worry, Dongxia has experience and won't let anything happen to you."

Suddenly there was a big move in the palace, and people were looking for people all over the mountain. The people were a little confused and curious and wanted to ask something, but the people in the palace were very strict and couldn't find out anything.

The mountain forest is very large, and the towering trees that grow wildly cover the sky and the sun.

He Bai took a look at the terrain and said, "Dong Xia has experience collecting herbs. The herbs on the outside will definitely not waste her much time. Then she will definitely go deep into the mountains. Let's search in there. Remember to mark the way."

Shan Zhao nodded, "Okay, you take people over there, and I'll take people over there. You pay attention to safety and don't be rash. Brother Meng will also lead a team of people to look in that direction."

Meng Huaisu didn't want to wait for a moment and hurried into the mountains.

Ye Juelu rode a horse with Ming Lanying. As soon as they entered the forest, she let the little black panther out. Ming Lanying had special abilities, and the animals were all her spies.

Ming Lanying guessed that Dongxia was either lost, fell into a trap, or got stuck on a cliff.

The animals spread out and looked for each other faster than Hebai and the others. Minglan Warbler soon heard Mayi's cry on the treetops.

Ming Lanying pinched Ye Juelu's arm and pointed in a direction, "Xiao Hei picked up Dongxia's sachet there."

The dense grass in that direction was up to the waist, making it difficult for horses to walk through. Ye Juelu dismounted and went over to explore the way.

Use the dagger to clear a path, then turn back to pick up Ming Lanying. Ye Juelu handed her a sachet embroidered with cordyceps.

"A sachet was indeed found, but there was a deep hole in front of it."

Ming Lanying's heart tightened and she squeezed the sachet tightly, "Cordyceps sinensis...is from winter and summer. Where is the hole?"

The two came to the deep cave. The grass at the entrance of the cave showed signs of being crushed. The cave was dark and low. The Minglan warbler called twice, but no echo was heard.

"Is the hole too deep or is she not here anymore?"

Ye Juelu threw a stone down, and soon heard movement. He guessed that it wasn't too deep, "It shouldn't be here anymore, but she can't get out of this depth alone."

There were no signs of struggling or pulling at the entrance of the cave, which proved that she did not climb out and no one rescued her.

"Is there a road down here?"

Ye Juelu nodded, cut the nearby grass with his dagger, and braided a strong grass rope.

Ming Lanying blew the whistle and called the little black panther back. Sometimes the intuition of beasts is more accurate than that of humans.

The little black panther quickly sprang out and jumped into her arms.

Ye Juelu held her in his arms and slid down slowly. There was no light at the bottom of the cave, and he could not see his fingers.

Ye Juelu took out the fire seal from his arms, and with the faint light of the fire, the two of them saw a dark passage.

Ming Lanying looked hesitantly at the passage as dark as the abyss, "Could it be that Dongxia... left from here?"

Ye Juelu frowned, "Most likely, but there is a danger that this kind of place will be difficult to control."

Ming Lanying was a little frightened, but her worries about Dongxia prevailed, so she pulled Ye Juelu and rushed in.

"Let's go quickly and find her as soon as possible."

The little panther in his arms jumped out and led the way.

The passage is not long, but judging from the traces, it must have been dug for a long time. Ye Juelu speculated that it had been at least more than 20 years, and the two people walked out like this.

"Where is this?"

Ming Lanying looked at the forest in front of her. The trees were still familiar types, but they were not the trees with cloth strips tied around them when they came. She couldn't tell where they were for a moment.

The little black panther sat at her feet and licked its fur. Apparently it didn't know this place either.

Ming Lanying was speechless. It took them half a day to walk?

"What is the significance of this passage?"

Ye Juelu looked around, "This should be the other side of the mountain. The frontier was not peaceful during the ancestor emperor's time. There were bandits and bandits who raided homes and robbed their homes. The villagers had no choice but to hide in the mountains."

"But some bandits would go into the mountains to look for people if they didn't search enough. So the innocent villagers dug this tunnel. They could escape and delay their escape."

"No matter at any time, there will always be bugs living in invisible places. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he focused on cleaning up the evil forces. The country was already clean when he came into his hands."

Ming Lanying had a complicated mood. She bent down and picked up the little Black Panther, "Well, every existence has meaning. The border will be better managed with you in the future. Now it's better to find Dongxia quickly."

Ye Juelu looked ahead, "There should be a cliff and a road down the mountain ahead."

Ming Lanying lowered her head and looked at the little black panther, who shook her head, so she had to take out the lark whistle again, "I hope this isn't too far away from there."

The whistle echoed in the mountain forest. Minglan Orioles listened carefully to the sound. Ye Juelu had a good ear and quickly caught the familiar sound of flapping wings.

"It's your Haidongqing."

Ming Lanying raised her head in surprise, "Sure enough, the mistress is still amazing!"

The towering trees in the mountain forest blocked her from flying, so Hai Dongqing couldn't get close to her. Ming Lanying played a tune, and Hai Dongqing roared and flew towards the cliff.

Ye Juelu looked at her, "Is it at the cliff?"

Ming Lanying nodded, "Let's follow it."

But Ming Lanying was slow on her feet, so Ye Juelu simply picked him up with one arm and stretched his legs, making him very fast in the forest.

Ming Lanying's field of vision suddenly became higher and she exclaimed in fright. She held the little black panther in one hand and held his shoulder tightly with the other.

The strong arms around her legs made her feel at ease, and Ming Lanying simply showed her the way.

The two quickly chased them to the edge of the cliff. The cliff was so steep that it was unknown how deep it was. Hai Dongqing flew straight towards Ming Lan Ying.

The little black panther was in her arms, and Ming Lanying sat on Ye Juelu's arm and stretched out an arm to catch it.

"Mistress, go down and take a look."

Hai Dongqing rubbed it, fluttered its wings and flew to the bottom of the cliff, and soon heard a cry.

Ming Lanying patted Ye Juelu excitedly, "It's right below, halfway up the mountain in Dongxia!"

Ye Juelu didn't dare to let her get close to the cliff, "She should be able to hear you if you shout."

Minglan Ying was so angry that she shouted towards the bottom of the cliff, "Dongxia!! Where are you!!"

There was only one side of the cliff and there was no echo. After a while, Ming Lanying heard the sounds of Dongxia.

"Sister-in-law!! I'm here!!"

The voice sounds strong, so he shouldn't be injured.

"Ye Juelu, go and have a look!"

Ye Juelu put Ming Lanying in a safe place, "I'll go and see it, but don't go there."

"I know, go and see if you can pull someone up!"

Ye Juelu stuck his head out and saw nothing, only heard Dong Xia's voice.

"Brother Ye! Sister-in-law! I'm fine! I climbed down along the vines. There is a small cave here, but the vines have swung to the side and I can't get up!"

Hearing that the sound was not too far away, Ye Juelu looked helplessly at Ming Lanying and frowned, "Don't worry, she is fine. We will find people with ropes to pull her up."

Haidong Qingfei came back and cuddled up next to her, Ming Lanying frowned, "It's so far here, it's already dark every time I go back and forth to look for them."

Ming Lanying was just about to ask Hai Dongqing to send a message to He Bai when she heard movement in the woods behind her.

The two of them turned around and saw a very embarrassed Meng Huaisu, leading a small team behind him.

"Your Majesty, Princess!"

Ming Lanying was surprised that he could find this, "How did you find this?"

Meng Huaisu gasped and pointed to the Haidongqing on her arm, "I saw it and heard its cry."

The guards behind Meng Huaisu were not breathing at all, but Meng Huaisu was in a mess. He was just a weak civil servant, but his speed was not as slow as theirs.

Ye Juelu: "You are here just in time. Take out the ropes on your body and go to save people."

Meng Huaisu stepped forward in surprise, "Have you found her? Where is Dongxia? Is she okay?"

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows. This was the second time she had seen him lose his temper, and it was all because of Dongxia.

"She's fine. That girl is very brave. She climbed down by herself."
