After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Mu Jingzhao looked at her quietly, for a moment, and finally nodded in a compromised way, then turned and shouted out of the car, "Li Zinian!"

Li Zinian appeared at a trot, and behind Jiang Ning, he lifted a corner of the curtain, nodded and bowed to Mu Jingzhao, and said, "What orders does the emperor have?"

"Leave five guards here to protect the safety of the convoy, and the rest will follow Concubine Ning and Imperial Physician Zhang to search for medicinal herbs."

"Yes." Li Zinian nodded in response.

After Jiang Ning received the order, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Ning'er!"

She turned her head and cast an inquiring look at Mu Jingzhao.

"Be careful."

She nodded slightly, no more, turned to leave, but did not see Mu Jingzhao's complicated expression behind her.

Jiang Ning helped several imperial physicians distribute the drawn medicinal material drawing papers, and ordered each imperial physician to bring two imperial guards with him for personal protection, and the rest of the imperial guards went into the mountain in teams of two to search.

As for himself, he brought Lu Feng and Zhe Liu with him.

Jiang Ning turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, trying to find where to start, when Zhe Liu held the blueprint over and over for a while, then threw it into Lu Feng's arms.

"Your Majesty, you can leave this kind of thing to the servants. There are few people in this mountain. If something goes wrong with you, 1 heads of slaves are not enough to lose."

Jiang Ning looked around, and finally chose the woods behind him. Peaches would not appear in such a place, so the only thing he could look for was thistle.

The big thistle likes to grow in the place where the soil is dry, and here it is by the stream, if you want to find it, you have to go deep into the forest.

Jiang Ning turned to look at Zhe Liu behind him, sighed silently, but didn't explain much.

If she didn't take herself as a threat, Mu Jingzhao would never agree to let the imperial guards go into the forest to collect medicine. Between the accident that might happen to her and Shen Qingrong's life, Jiang Ning would naturally choose the latter.

Xu Shi sensed that something was wrong with Jiang Ning's face, Zhe Liu closed his mouth embarrassingly, and stopped talking.

It was Lu Feng who spoke first, "Ma'am, where should we find it now?"

"There." Jiang Ning stretched out his hand and pointed to a forest not far away, "We have to hurry up, the empress's body can't be dragged."

Lu Feng carefully put away the scroll in his hand, and the group walked towards the woods.

A group of people went around in circles in the woods, and it was getting late. Not only did they not find the legendary big thistle, but they directly exhausted the Zheliu who had been so excited.

Among the three of them, Lu Feng is highly skilled in martial arts, while Jiang Ning has been in the market since he was a child, so the mountain road is naturally not a problem.

The one with the worst physical patience has become Zhe Liu, a little girl who only knows how to serve her master.

It was summer at this time, although I was in the shade of the woods, walking in the mountains for a long time would inevitably cause exhaustion and heatstroke.

Zhe Liu walked for about half an hour, then started to stagger and nearly fell, Jiang Ning panicked, and quickly asked Lu Feng to help her sit down against a tree to rest.

Jiang Ning, on the other hand, looked up at the dense forest above his head, trying to judge what time it was from the gaps in the layers of leaves.

After Lu Feng fed Zhe Liu and drank water, he continued to fan her vigorously. After tossing and tossing for a long time, Zhe Liu's complexion eased a little.

The first time Jiang Ning saw it, she sighed helplessly. Originally, she was forced to choose because Lin Zheng stayed in Qingshui County to work, and only Lu Feng was the only trustworthy person around her.

But I didn't want this decision to lead to this decision.

"Niang Niang." Seeing her master sitting, Zhe Liu twisted her body a little uneasy, then took the water bottle from Lu Feng's hand, and handed it to Jiang Ning, "Do you want a drink?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, his expression still serious, "Lu Feng, take care of Zheliu girl here first, I'll go find herbs first."

Zhe Liu and Lu Feng were shocked when they heard the words, "Your Majesty, absolutely not."

Jiang Ning was helpless, "The empress is still waiting for me."

Perhaps because he knew that he was dragging down the team, Zhe Liu blushed and struggled to get up while supporting Lu Feng's arm, as if he wanted to join Jiang Ning.

Unexpectedly, just as she stood up straight, she suddenly fell down due to a brief period of dizziness. Lu Feng turned pale with shock and barely supported her, but Zhe Liu was caught off guard and sprained his foot.

Lu Feng showed panic, and quickly helped Zhe Liu to sit down again.

Jiang Ning squatted down, stretched out his hand to hold Zhe Liu's injured foot, and twisted it slightly.

"what!!"

The screams of broken willows echoed in the jungle.

Jiang Ning looked solemn, and shook his head at Lu Feng, "She is seriously injured, take her back quickly, there should be some herbs left in the team, there is still time to apply them."

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"You take Zheliu girl back now, and find some forbidden soldiers to follow me, I will wait here, and I will definitely not run around."

Lu Feng looked at Jiang Ning's firm gaze, then at Zhe Liu who was distorted in pain in his arms, and quickly hugged Zhe Liu.

"Niang Niang, no matter what, you must stay where you are and don't wander around. I will go back as soon as I go."

After getting Jiang Ning's affirmative reply, Lu Feng took Zhe Liu and left.

When Lu Feng and Zhe Liu disappeared, Jiang Ning waited in place for a while, only to see the sun disappearing into the clouds, and the woods instantly darkened. She turned around quickly and walked towards the depths of the woods.

The further in, the more lush the grass and trees, the weeds around her have reached Jiang Ning's waist height, and the weeds unscrupulously slashed across her bare wrist, itching and hurting.

The leaves above the head are gradually covering the sky and the sun again, the woods are overcast, and occasionally there are a few cuckoo cries in the distance and the rustling of the leaves in the wind. It is empty and lonely, and even the surrounding air is a bit colder.

Jiang Ning groped forward in the tall grass. She looked around while walking, trying to find that little purple flower among the overlapping weeds.

Jiang Ning gradually tried her best as she kept groping forward. She managed to carve out an open space among the weeds, and sat down to rest against a big tree.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the rustling of weeds very close behind her.

This is different from the sound of the wind blowing the grass, it is concentrated in one place, like the sound of something speeding through the grass.

Jiang Ning's hair stood on end, he turned around and looked behind him, only to see that the weeds behind him were silent, no different from not long ago.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva a little uneasy, and looked around one after another, but the side around her was completely silent, without the slightest movement.

She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and sat down, and just turned around for a moment, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a black figure appearing in front of her somewhat abruptly.

Almost without any hesitation, Jiang Ning drew out his dagger and stabbed straight at the man in black.

Turning around for a moment, she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Lin Zheng, whom she had not seen for a long time.

And the sharp dagger in his hand had already reached his chest. (end of this chapter)
