Chapter 134: Finding the Hundred Grass Root

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Wang Fengyi looked at Xue Ru and said coldly, “Even when you throw yourself at people, no one wants you. You’re as useless as your mother.”

“Mother?”

This was the first time Wang Fengyi had used such words with Xue Ru. Xue Ru was shocked to see the mocking look in her eyes.

Wang Fengyi stood up, “Stay here for now,” she said, then left Xue Ru’s room.

Wang Fengyi knew Xue Ru’s intentions. She was happy to see them fulfilled because Xue Ru called her mother. If Xue Ru could truly enter the King’s mansion, her status in the Xue family would also rise.

But looking at the closed door, Wang Fengyi felt disappointed.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t know about this mother-daughter dispute.

The next day, at dawn, Jiang Peihuan was ready to leave.

When she and Ye Xiao left their room, they saw Xiao Nanye waiting outside.

When he heard them, he turned around.

“Huan Er.”

“Didn’t we say we would leave at dawn? Why are your highness up so early?” The man didn’t answer but walked forward and felt her hand. Sensing her fingertips were slightly cold, he looked at Ye Xiao and said, “Go fetch a cloak.” Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Ye Xiao immediately turned and went into the room.

A moment later, Ye Xiao came back with a cloak. As she was about to put it on Jiang Peihuan, a hand reached out.

Taking the cloak from Ye Xiao’s hand, Xiao Nanye carefully put it on Jiang Peihuan.

After tying the collar, he softly said, “It’s windy in the mountains.”

“Let’s go.”

After a thorough check to ensure Jiang Peihuan wouldn’t catch a cold, the man led her away.

Deputy General Liu had already led Zhui Yun and Lie Feng out.

Just as the four of them were about to mount their horses, Jiang Peihuan heard a voice from behind, “Huan Er, where are you going?”

It turned out that Xue Qi was up for training and happened to see Jiang Peihuan when they are leaving.

When he got closer, he saw King Cheng and saluted him, “Greetings, Your

Highness King Cheng.”

Looking at Xue Qi, Xiao Nanye nodded.

Then, Xue Qi turned to Jiang Peihuan and walked to her side, “Huan Er, what’s happening?”

After briefly explaining the situation of Madame Xue, Jiang Peihuan continued,

“I’m going to Qingcheng Mountain to find the hundred grass root.”

‘Til go with you.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Qi immediately said.

No matter how Jiang Peihuan refused, Xue Qi insisted on going with them. In the end, Jiang Peihuan could only bring him along.

They all rode to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. When they reached there, the sky was already bright.

The path was not suitable for horses, so they could only tie the horses to a tree nearby.

As Jiang Peihuan was about to tie the reins in her hand, Xiao Nanye took them from her, “I’ll do it.”

Hearing his words, Jiang Peihuan directly handed the reins to him.

Xiao Nanye tied Zhui Yun and Lie Feng together.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes flickered, but she didn’t say anything.

At this time, Xue Qi came over, “Huan Er, can you tell me where we can find the hundred grass root? Which path is nearer on Qingcheng Mountain?”

“It usually grows on shady cliffs,” she replied.

Hearing this, Xue Qi thought for a moment before suggesting, “Then let’s take the small path.”

Saying this, he started walking in the left direction. Compared to the main road, this small path looks more difficult to walk.

Looking at the difficult path, Jiang Peihuan asked Xue Qi, “Cousin Qi, where does this path go?”

“To the cliff on the mountain top.”

Jiang Peihuan originally planned to go straight to the top of the mountain.

Hearing this, she nodded and prepared to move forward. But just as she was about to step forward, she heard a low voice, “I’ll lead.”

Seeing this, Xue Qi quickly said, “Your Highness, I’m more familiar with this path. Let me lead the way.””

“Okay.”

Xiao Nanye didn’t refuse Xue Qi’s suggestion. Seeing him nod, Xue Qi stepped forward, followed by Xiao Nanye, and then Jiang Peihuan.

The path was very steep. After a while, it became almost vertical. Thankfully, they all knew martial arts. Ordinary people would be exhausted.

Whenever they encountered a rugged path, Xiao Nanye would hold Jiang Peihuan’s hand and pull her up, so she didn’t tire out.

“We’re almost there.”

Xue Qi looked ahead and said softly.

An hour later, they reached the top of the mountain. Apart from Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan, the other three were a little tired.

If Xiao Nanye hadn’t been helping her, Jiang Peihuan believed she’d be just as tired.

After everyone rested, Jiang Peihuan suggested, “Let’s split up to search.”

After describing the characteristics of the hundred grass root to the group, Jiang Peihuan warned, “If you find it, don’t pull it out directly. The root is medicine, but the grass is poisonous. Touching it can harm your skin.”

“Also, don’t break the root. If it breaks, it loses its medicinal effects.”

“In that case, Huan Er, when we find it, we will notify you, and then we will retrieve it.”

Xue Qi responded to Jiang Peihuan’s words.

This was a safer way. Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan nodded in agreement.

After discussing, they all went separate ways, but Xiao Nanye stayed with Jiang

Peihuan. He said, “I’m worried about you. I’ll go with you.”

“Alright.”

Jian Peihuan nodded and replied softly.

While they were together, Jiang Peihuan searched, and he kept watch the surroundings.

When Jiang Peihuan suddenly stopped and stared at a tree, Xiao Nanye asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I found it.”

Following Jiang Peihuan’s direction, Xiao Nanye saw a small plant not far away.

The plant was growing at the bottom of a tree, but also on a cliff.

“Stay here, I’ll get it.”

“No.”

Jiang Peihuan grabbed Xiao Nanye’s hand, “Look at the tree.”

Xiao Nanye looked up and saw honeycombs with bees.

Seeing the bees, Xiao Nanye thought for a moment and then shouted,

“Everyone, come over. We found it.”

Upon hearing Xiao Nanye’s voice, Xue Qi and the others ran over.

Xiao Nanye then pointed to the bees in the tree, “To get the hundred grass root, we will definitely disturb the bees. Who will go?”

He certainly wouldn’t let Jiang Peihuan go.

Of course, he wouldn’t go either.

“Eldest Miss, let me do it..”
