Reborn Spoiled Ming Wangfei

17 Searching for Medicinal Herbs

“Master!” An Yi stood outside the room, shouting in excitement, “We found the whereabouts of the Heavenly Celestial Grass and Seven Colored Snow Lotus!”

They used all their forces as well as Wu Qing Pavilion’s cooperation, as well as the forces in court to search and were able to find the whereabouts of the two herbs within two days. Otherwise, it would take a long time. Master has spent two days with the matriarch without uttering a word. They were really afraid if they didn’t find the medicine, master will sleep forever like the matriarch.

When Feng Yi Xuan heard An Yi’s words, his dead eyes recovered some of their brightness. Feng Yi Xuan shifted his numb body and gently laid a kiss on Lan You Nian’s forehead before leaving the room. The two days of being motionless made Feng Yi Xuan almost tumble. Feng Yi Xuan staggered before recovering and opened the door to the room and saw An Yi and them waiting outside.

Feng Yi Xuan didn’t say a word but An Yi immediately reported the investigated results to him, “Master, Heavenly Celestial Grass is in Hua empire. It is in Hua empire’s imperial palace. It is an emperor’s inherited celestial grass. It is tightly guarded and it is difficult to find where it is kept. We are only certain it is in the palace. The Seven Colored Snow Lotus is in the north Snow Peak but no one has been able to come down alive from there. On the Snow Peak, everything is unknown.”

Though An Yi didn’t dare to say it, Feng Yi Xuan knew it in his heart. The Snow Peak was very far from here. Even by horseback, it will take a month, much less to climb the snow peak and pluck the snow lotus. There wasn’t enough time. But Feng Yi Xuan won’t give up. As for the Heavenly Celestial Grass, Feng Yi Xuan had another idea.

Feng Yi Xuan took out a brush and paper and wrote a letter. He then handed it to An Er, “Hand this letter personally to Hua empire’s Crown Prince. Let Hua Empire’s Crown Prince take the Heavenly Celestial Grass. If he is willing, no matter what price, agree to it all, besides Nian Nian...” If Hua Xiu Yi wanted power or wealth or such things, Feng Yi Xuan was willing to give it to him, besides Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan knew there wasn’t enough time to go to Hua empire to get the Heavenly Celestial Grass. If he had the shadow guards go, they wouldn’t be able to get the Heavenly Celestial Grass. The only one able to get the Heavenly Celestial Grass is Hua Xiu Yi.

“This...” An Er was a little worried. Hua Xiu Yi was a cunning person. With his personality of opposing master, would he help master? Besides, Heavenly Spirit Grass wasn’t an ordinary herb. Hua Xiu Yi and Hua empire’s emperor had a cold relationship. Would Hua Xiu Yi do such a thankless task?

“Just go! After you get the Heavenly Celestial Grass, you must keep it safe and bring it to master!” Feng Yi Xuan instructed. Though he never liked Hua Xiu Yi, that is he didn’t like any man or woman who coveted Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan could tell from the visit to Jiangnan that though Hua Xiu Yi liked Nian Nian, he didn’t intend to steal Nian Nian. Hence, he knew Hua Xiu Yi would help. Feng Yi Xuan wouldn’t let Hua Xiu Yi help without pay. No matter what, he was grateful to Hua Xiu Yi. He will help Hua Xiu Yi obtain Hua empire’s throne.

Feng Yi Xuan was a good judge of character. He was able to guess people’s thoughts. Feng Yi Xuan was certain Hua Xiu Yi would help. Naturally, he made other arrangements. If Hua Xiu Yi didn’t help, he could still get the Heavenly Celestial Grass. But the chances of success were low. They don’t have time to waste. Nian Nian’s body can only hold on for twenty or so days.

“Yes!” An Er immediately departed. As the subordinates, they knew time was life. They knew if something were to happen to the matriarch, master will most likely follow. Two lives were hanging on the line.

Feng Yi Xuan started arranging the following matters. He said to An Yi, “An San and An Si stay in the capital to protect Nian Nian. This prince hopes there is no accident when I return.”

Feng Yi Xuan had to separate from Nian Nian for a month. Nian Nian was already unconscious. Her safety was the most important. Feng Yi Xuan wants to arrange Ghost Realm’s people to come over and to increase the guards in Prince Ming manor.

“An Yi mobilize some manpower. We will depart later!” Feng Yi Xuan returned to the room. Going to the Snow Peak to pluck the seven colored snow lotus was a dangerous thing, so only he can go do it. His martial arts was the best. Though he wanted to accompany Nian Nian, he knew what needed to be done. If he can obtain the snow lotus, everything would be good. If he can’t and died at the Snow Peak, he will have An Yi bring his body over to be with Nian Nian.

Feng Yi Xuan walked into the room and looked at the sleeping Lan You Nian. His eyes flashed with pain and tenderness. Feng Yi Xuan gently held Lan You Nian in his arms. His eyes were unblinking as he looked at the girl in his arms, his voice soft, “Nian Nian, I must go to the Snow Peak to get the Seven colored snow lotus. I won’t be able to be with you for some time. You must be obedient and remember to wait for me to come back, understand? Nian Nian, you must promise me, don’t leave me...”

Feng Yi Xuan rambled on for a long while and trembled as he kissed Lan You Nian’s lips. He was finally able to control himself from turning back and left the room, so Feng Yi Xuan didn’t see the moment he left the room, a tear dripped down the corner of Lan You Nian’s eye.

Feng Yi Xuan walked out of the room and looked at Gui Yi Zi and his five disciples standing there. Feng Yi Xuan nodded to Gui Yi Zi, “Master, I will go to the Snow Peak. I must bother you to care for Nian Nian!”

Gui Yi Zi was like an elder as he patted Feng Yi Xuan’s shoulder. His voice was stern, “Stinky brat what are you saying? This old man will naturally look after Nianer. You must come back alive” Gui Yi Zi understood the dangers of the Snow Peak so Feng Yi Xuan was practically offering up his life.

“I will!” Feng Yi Xuan stated in determination. Nian Nian was still waiting here for him. Why wouldn’t he return?

Feng Yi Xuan prepared to leave. Nian Nian was still laying there. The north Snow Peak was too far. He must hurry to the north. Feng Yi Xuan was called by Gui Yi Zi. Pointing at Gui Yi and Gui Si, he said, “They will go with you. Gui Yi knows how to protect the seven colored snow lotus. Gui Si’s martial arts is pretty good. He can be of some help to you. As for the manor, you don’t need to worry. This old man will take care of little Nianer. Gui Er them can protect Prince Ming Manor’s safety. You only need to focus on getting the seven colored snow lotus!”

Feng Yi Xuan felt Gui Yi Zi’s arrangement was good. He knew there was no need for thanks. These people were Nian Nian’s family and his family as well. Now something has happened to Nian Nian, they all want to offer their help. Feng Yi Xuan understood this. Feng Yi Xuan nodded and shot one final look at the room before leaving Prince Ming Manor.

Feng Yi Xuan left Prince Ming manor and rushed north without stopping. Even his steed Zui Feng couldn’t endure Feng Yi Xuan’s nonstop riding day and night. On the road, Feng Yi Xuan changed horses, even exhausting several horses to death. Following Feng Yi Xuan on the road, Gui Yi and Gui Si as well as An Yi, though their martial arts were good, they couldn’t endure it. But none of them said anything. All of them knew the importance of time.

While journeying on the road, Feng Yi Xuan’s body quickly lost weight. On the road, he didn’t say a word. His entire air was colder than the snow. Feng Yi Xuan made everyone aware he was at the edge of collapse. The only thing keeping him going was Lan You Nian.

Gui Yi and Gui Si can see the man’s love for their little junior sister. The passionate feeling moved all of them. Feng Yi Xuan was like a madman as he raced on the road, making them feel awful inside. If their little junior sister can pass this difficulty, they will give their blessings. Such a man like this was hard to find in the world.

While Feng Yi Xuan was desperately rushing on the road, An Er already arrived in Hua empire. An Er came to Crown Prince Manor without stopping. He took out the letter to have someone give it to the Crown Prince and asked for an audience. He came with a request so An Er strictly stood outside Crown Prince manor waiting.

After a moment, An Er was brought into Crown Prince manor. When An Er saw Hua Xiu Yi, he noticed Hua Xiu Yi’s tiredness. An Er knew Hua Xiu Yi was currently fighting for power with his imperial father, so one can imagine his stress. An Er had to admire Hua Xiu Yi’s abilities. If other people’s power was given by the Emperor, one can see Hua Xiu Yi’s capabilities when Hua Xiu Yi is able to counter the Emperor’s oppression.

When Hua Xiu Yi saw An Er, he asked, “What happened to her?” Hua Xiu Yi originally planned to wait after everything in Hua empire was taken care of, he will go to Feng empire to take a look. Though it was unfortunate that such a girl wasn’t his, Hua Xiu Yi didn’t have any resentment, only disheartened.

“Princess Consort has fallen unconscious...” An Er has hidden anything as he told Hua Xiu Yi of Lan You Nian being poisoned, as well that they needed Heavenly Celestial Grass, because this was ordered by the prince. There was no need for any concealment.

Hua Xiu Yi didn’t feel well inside. He didn’t expect the spirited girl to be laying there with her life and death unknown. He didn’t expect that girl to be suffering from poison for so many years. Hua Xiu Yi felt his heart really ached for that crafty girl, even if he had no position to feel this way.

“You can stay here for a few days. This crown prince will bring the Heavenly Celestial Grass for you to take back!” Hua Xiu Yi said without considering it. He knew Lan You Nian was the light that attracted him. Even if he stepped into danger, Hua Xiu Yi would have no hesitation.

An Er felt his impression of Hua Xiu Yi change. He didn’t expect Hua empire’s crown prince would be willing to help without mentioning any demands. This wasn’t a small request. But An Er still said what his master told him, “Crown Prince Hua, if you can bring the Heavenly Celestial Grass, besides the princess consort, our prince is willing to do anything for the crown prince!”

Hua Xiu Yi smiled bitterly. This Feng Yi Xuan was still so tyrannical. Even if Feng Yi Xuan didn’t say so, he wouldn’t loot a burning house. Hua Xiu Yi knew if he used this to threaten Feng Yi Xuan, it was very possible Feng Yi Xuan would sacrifice himself to take him down with his temper. He really wanted to save Lan You Nian. The reason wasn’t for benefits.

“Ha, we’ll talk about demands later. You live in Crown Prince manor first. This crown prince will bring the Heavenly Celestial Grass!” Hua Xiu Yi instructed and left for the Heavenly Celestial Grass, leaving An Er to stay in Crown Prince manor. If Hua Xiu Yi wasn’t able to obtain the Heavenly Celestial Grass in three days, before he left master instructed even if he had to slaughter through Hua empire’s imperial palace, he must take the Heavenly Celestial Grass.
