I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

In a private room on the third floor of Xunfang Pavilion, a man's deep voice rang out: "An Yi, An Er, this time you bring your people with me to the southwest region. I heard that a snake containing black crystal appeared there."

"Yes, master." The two nodded in response.

"Also, arrange three teams to search for other places where the miraculous medicine may appear. Any news must be reported back as soon as possible."

An Yi replied: "Master, we have actually sent people out to look for the whereabouts of those rare medicines. But there is still no news."

The man at the head was Li Rui. Xunfang Pavilion was actually Li Rui’s property and was also one of the contact points of Shadow Pavilion.

Outsiders all thought that he frequented places of entertainment and was fond of women, but in fact, he was the one who spread the rumor.

In order to confuse those who are not good for him, he has been keeping a low profile over the years and has cultivated the largest intelligence assassination organization in Tiansheng Country.

He has also developed many industries under his name, some of which have spread throughout Tiansheng Country.

In order to find those miraculous detoxifying drugs as soon as possible, he planned to go to the southwest by himself this time.

The next day, the Prince Rui's Mansion received the imperial edict, and the next day Li Rui was asked to represent the court to attend the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven held in several southwestern states.

Li Rui held a sinecure in the Ministry of Rites and seldom attended court. However, this time the emperor suddenly asked him to represent the court to go to the southwest, which led many interested people to speculate.

An Muxi also heard about this matter today. After all, it was a rare occasion for the Prince Rui's Mansion to receive an imperial edict, so the news spread quickly.

She thought about it and felt that Li Rui went to the southwest probably to look for snake-containing black crystal. She knew that the medicinal material was generally produced in the mountains of the southwest covered with virgin forests.

The primitive forests in the southwest are full of poisonous insects and miasma, which is quite dangerous. So she thought of making a poison-proof sachet for Li Rui to carry with him.

After all, deep down in her heart she didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Li Rui.

So she asked Xiaoyun and Xiaoqin to go to Dr. Gao to get some herbs. Later, she thought that Li Rui would definitely bring a few guards with him, so she simply made a few more for each of them.

Then he mobilized several maids in Furong Courtyard to sew sachets together.

She didn't know how to do needlework, but in order to express her sincerity, she picked out the best-looking sachet and sewed a cloud pattern on it. This is the simplest pattern, and it has a good auspicious meaning.

Soon she prepared a dozen sachets of herbs and asked everyone to put them into the sachets. A dozen poison-repelling sachets were ready.

Then she asked Xiaoyun and Xiaoqin to help her hold the sachet, and they went to Lingfeng Pavilion where Li Rui lived.

Li Rui was looking at the topographic map of the southwest in the study. Jianying and Jianfeng saw An Muxi coming, went in to report, and An Muxi was allowed to pass.

After entering, she put the sachets on the table, and Li Rui then raised his head.

Seeing a pile of colorful sachets on the table, he raised his eyebrows in confusion and looked at An Muxi.

An Muxi said with a smile: "Your Highness, I heard that you are going to the southwest tomorrow. There are poisonous insects and poisonous miasma everywhere in the mountains and forests over there, so I asked someone to make a few poison-proof sachets for you."

Li Rui didn't expect that An Muxi would take the initiative to care about him. He was a little surprised, but he was still in a good mood.

But he opened his mouth and said, "Is there anything else?" After saying that, he felt annoyed. He didn't know if An Muxi would be angry about his damn speaking habits.

An Muxi had long been accustomed to his tone of voice and didn't care.

He then took out a sachet and a small white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed them to Li Rui.

"I embroidered a pattern on this sachet, and this bottle is the detoxification pill I made last time. It can cure all kinds of poisons. You can take it with you, just in case."

This time, Li Rui took the sachet and the white porcelain bottle. After looking at the pattern on the sachet, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

"It's rare that you have such a thoughtful thought. This duck is embroidered very well. I will carry it with me." He felt that he finally learned how to say nice things to please a woman.

When I looked up, I saw that An Muxi's face looked a little strange. Did I say something wrong again?

An Muxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What the hell, you can't even see the cloud pattern? You are the prince of Tiansheng Kingdom, so you are well-informed.

"Okay, as long as you like it, I hope the prince can get the Snake Crystal this time."

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "I wonder how long the prince will stay before returning?"

Li Rui asked jokingly with a smile in his narrow eyes: "Why are you reluctant to let me go?"

An Muxi rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking, God is reluctant to let you go, I wish you would not come back. Then she thought that this idea was a bit unlucky, so it would be better to come back later.

But he still said some nice words: "Of course, without the prince, the Rui Palace has lost its backbone, and no one wants you to leave."

For some reason, she always felt like she was being watched when Li Rui was here, and she felt a little depressed.

Li Rui was not very satisfied with this answer, but he also knew that it was impossible for this woman to give the answer he wanted now.

I could only reply calmly: "If everything goes well this time, it may take about half a month to go back and forth. If it doesn't go well, I don't know."

At this moment, Li Rui really wanted to go up and hug the woman in front of him, but he had to restrain his emotions.

He was actually a little worried about An Muxi when he left the imperial capital. This woman was too troublesome, and he was afraid that no one would take care of her. If something happened to her again, no one would be able to protect her safety when he was not around.

Then he said, "I'm not in the capital. Take care of yourself and don't go to places you shouldn't go."

An Muxi's face finally turned black. Which places shouldn't be visited? I came here with good intentions to deliver the detoxifying pills, but was still warned. Humph, I was very angry!

She bowed and turned away.

Li Rui was left alone, wondering how a woman's heart could be like a needle in the sea. She was smiling when she came in, but why did she leave with a gloomy face?

On the way back, Xiaoyun looked at An Muxi's unhappy back and quietly asked Xiaoqin: "Sister Xiaoqin, what's wrong with the master? She seems unhappy?"

Xiaoqin said with an experienced look: "What do you know, little girl? The master is reluctant to be separated from the prince."

Xiaoqin's voice was so loud that it was almost as if she was shouting through a loudspeaker. An Muxi, who was walking in front, almost sprained her ankle when she suddenly heard her words.

He turned around and glared at Xiaoqin angrily, causing Xiaoqin to shrink her neck.

Then An Muxi said, "Go to the kitchen and get some mutton and vegetables. I'll teach you how to make mutton soup today."

The two little girls were delighted when they heard this. Xiaoqin even whispered to Xiaoyun, "See? This is turning sadness into appetite!"

Xiaoyun nodded, not quite understanding.

An Muxi was completely speechless. She walked away without caring about her relatives. She didn't bother to pay attention to the two people behind her.

That night, several maids and An Muxi in Furong Courtyard gathered around a copper pot and enjoyed the meal.

Everyone heard Xiaoqin say that An Muxi was in a bad mood, and they all tried to find ways to make An Muxi happy.

An Muxi didn't want to expose them, so she let them misunderstand her. After dinner, she wrote a novel.

An Muxi stood on the rooftop of the third floor, looking at the scenery in the distance. The night breeze was cool, and An Muxi didn't know why she felt a little irritated for no reason.

I usually rest at this time, but today I don't feel sleepy at all. It must be the fault of the mutton soup pot!

It seems like we should have some good wine with the pot today!
