The three of them took out the night pearl and opened it under the moonlight.
On it was written that there was a medicine named Dongwei, which grew in the high - mountain forests of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"I don't think this will be too difficult. We should be able to get it," Ji Yuchen pointed at the picture of Dongwei, thinking that it was just a high - mountain forest, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
Ji Yunyi frowned. He remembered that the Fuxue Grass was only said to be in the snowfield at first, but it was still very hard to find.
Ji Yuchen saw the hesitation in his eyes and said, "Yunyi, we can't delay any longer. Yunxi can't wait. How about I go first to get the medicinal materials?"
"Alone?"
"After all, we don't know when the prince will wake up. It's not realistic for me to ask Yunxi to leave with me and abandon him. He got injured to save Yunxi after all. I can't bring this up. So I'd better go first."
Hearing this, Ji Yunyi immediately stood up. "Brother, I'll go with you."
Ji Yuchen thought for a while and refused. "Forget it. Someone has to stay to take care of our sister."
Qing Xuan had been standing aside. He pointed at himself. "Can't you see me? With me, Li Jiuge and the others around, you can go with peace of mind. Moreover, the second young master has been apprenticed for a long time. His spiritual power and cultivation must have improved greatly. With him around, it will be more convenient for the eldest young master to act. It's better for the two of you to have each other's company on the way, right?"
Rarely seeing Qing Xuan being so serious, Ji Yunyi immediately nodded. "That's right, brother."
Ji Yuchen was still hesitating when Lu Shu happened to pass by.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Shu asked curiously.
Since he came back, Qing Xuan had stopped picking fights with Lu Shu for no reason. Seeing him coming, he explained, "They are going to look for medicine without telling the master."
Lu Shu stepped forward to take a look. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not a bad idea. You two rarely move around in the jianghu, so Jiang Yaoji won't target you so quickly. And even if you encounter difficulties in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you can contact the branch of the Dream Flower Pavilion at any time."
With Lu Shu's support, the two brothers hit it off.
Qing Xuan couldn't help teasing Lu Shu. "You've really improved. You're finally doing something decent."
Lu Shu rolled his eyes. "I thought you had improved. You didn't talk nonsense when you saw me these days, but it seems you're still the same!"
"You mind your own business! Besides, when did I talk nonsense? I'm a very serious person."
"Are you a person? You're a bird!" Lu Shu sized him up. "A bird without a physical form."
"You!"
The two of them bickered without any reservation, which even made Ji Yuchen laugh.
Ji Yunyi suddenly remembered something. He tugged at his brother's sleeve. "Wait, brother. Your sudden appearance and then leaving with me will definitely arouse Yunxi's suspicion. What should we do? Brother, Yunxi gets really angry when she's suspicious."
Ji Yuchen wasn't worried when he heard this. "It's okay. Just tell her we have something to do and need to leave. She's so focused on Feng Xingzhi now that she won't think about what we're going to do."
"Right. I'll return the book later. She definitely won't notice."
Qing Xuan agreed. He had seen it all these days. The master had been absent - minded recently, so she definitely wouldn't guess.
The next day.
Li Jiuge got up early and went to the small kitchen. She wanted to make breakfast for Ji Yuchen and Ji Yunxi. But as soon as she came out, she bumped into Ji Yuchen.
"Brother..."
"Getting up so early?" He suddenly followed closely behind Li Jiuge.
"I'm going to the small kitchen. Why are you following me, brother?" She said it frankly, but the more she did, the more uneasy Ji Yuchen felt.
He smiled. "I'll help you."
Li Jiuge was actually very happy, but she didn't like to show it anymore. She could only say distantly, "Sure."
One was lighting the fire and the other was chopping vegetables in the kitchen. It was hard to tell that one was the most noble princess of Nanyan and the other was once the prime minister second only to the king in Nanyan.
"Brother, the fire is too small. If we cook like this, when will it be done?"
"Okay, wait a minute."
Ji Yuchen had always pursued perfection in everything since he was a child, but cooking almost stumped him. He couldn't always control the size of the fire well.
Li Jiuge was helpless. She stepped forward and pulled the obstructive man away. "Let me do it."
"Teach me. I learn quickly."
Ji Yunyi woke up. He walked a few steps out of his room and saw the two of them laughing and joking in the small kitchen. Suddenly, he felt a strange sourness in his heart.
Li Jiuge used to joke with him, but why had no one ever suspected that they had an affair?
"What are you doing?"
Qing Xuan came out of the door. He saw Ji Yunyi standing in the yard looking lonely.
His voice caught the attention of Ji Yuchen and Li Jiuge, and then they saw Ji Yunyi standing outside.
Ji Yuchen felt a bit embarrassed. He coughed lightly and told Li Jiuge, "After that, we'll have to trouble you with Yunxi and the others."
"Trouble me? Where are you going?"
He explained, "We're going to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to get Dongwei. I know you want to go with us too, but once we leave, Yunxi and the prince need someone to take care of them. So... we can only trouble you."
Li Jiuge thought that, as expected, they didn't intend to take her with them. Now, they had blocked all her words.
"Got it."
Ji Yuchen saw through her thoughts and persuaded her softly, "Now Feng Xingzhi is in a coma. Yunxi has no close people around her. Only you can take care of her. So you won't insist on going with us, right?"
Li Jiuge was immediately convinced by Ji Yuchen. Qing Xuan stood aside and asked Ji Yunyi helplessly, "Does he usually deceive you like this?"
Ji Yunyi nodded. "When we were kids, yes. Later, Yunxi told me, and I realized that he's always good at using his mouth."
The two of them didn't let Ji Yuchen hear their teasing. He turned his head and saw Qing Xuan. He originally wanted to say a few words to make Qing Xuan stay obediently, but unexpectedly, Qing Xuan was very smart. He immediately said, "I don't have a physical form, so I can't do some things. So I'll stay obediently."
Ji Yuchen was very satisfied with Qing Xuan's understanding. He nodded. "Then I'll trouble you."
Qing Xuan mumbled, "You're thanking me for not making you waste your breath..."
After settling Li Jiuge, Ji Yunyi and Ji Yuchen had breakfast and went down the mountain under Lu Shu's escort.
However, the two left a letter for Ji Yunxi, saying that there was an urgent matter in Nanyan, so they had to rush back. They asked Ji Yunxi to stay with Feng Xingzhi peacefully.
When Ji Yunxi woke up, she asked Qing Xuan and didn't think much. She just took the letter and went to take care of Feng Xingzhi as usual.
She didn't even ask an extra word.
Qing Xuan and Li Jiuge didn't suspect anything. They carefully let out a sigh of relief.
