Prince Guo felt that he was almost exhausted. He lowered his head with difficulty and saw Abdul and a few others crawling towards his seat.

"Your Majesty, hold on, we are holding you back from below!" Abdul shouted and went faster.

Prince Guo forced a smile with difficulty. Although he couldn't see Abdul and his party at all, he didn't expect them to come. The prince was very moved and felt as if he had some strength back in his body.

Abdul and his men were getting closer and closer. Prince Guo adjusted his posture and when they arrived at his feet, he set off again!

This time, Prince Guo made a final effort and used up his last bit of strength to climb up, because he knew that he had good friends supporting him below.

Finally, before he became exhausted, he vaguely touched the icy snow lotus. He felt exhausted and finally closed his eyes.

Faintly, Prince Guo heard people coming and going outside the house and the rustling of footsteps. He stroked his forehead, feeling drowsy for a moment, and finally woke up after struggling for a long time.

He recalled that he was picking snow lotus in the mountains. How could he be here? Was he dreaming?

He suddenly got up from the bed and looked at the furnishings in the room. It turned out that he was not dreaming.

But he remembered that right after he touched the snow lotus, his head suddenly felt heavy and he seemed to have fainted. How did he come back? Did he pick the snow lotus again?

He hurriedly put on his coat and went outside. Outside, several big men were slaughtering cattle and sheep. Not far away, two men were carrying a jar of wine and walking towards the house.

Prince Guo looked around in confusion. Where had Abdul gone?

At this time, a familiar figure came from a distance. Abdul walked quickly with a heroic step, carrying a few pounds of meat in his hand. Seeing him come out, he asked happily: "Prince, you are awake!"

Prince Guo smiled and nodded, then grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Abdul, let me ask you, did I pick the snow lotus?"

Abdul nudged him with his elbow, motioning him to go in first.

Prince Guo walked into the room with a doubtful look on his face, and without waiting for Abdul to put down what he was holding, he asked again.

Abdul smiled, took him to the side room and pointed at the table.

Prince Guo finally smiled with relief when he saw the snow lotus frozen in ice on the table. His smile agitated the wounds on his body. He felt a sharp pain in the palms of his hands, his legs began to weaken, and there was a pain in his waist. He covered his waist in pain and returned to sit on the chair.

Abdul said, "You were injured in many places when you climbed the mountain, but I consulted a doctor, who said that these were just flesh wounds. In Manchu language, they are not serious injuries. You will recover after a period of rest."

Prince Guo looked a little anxious. The snow lotus could not be kept for too long, otherwise its medicinal effect would be gone, and he had no time to recuperate.

Abdul saw his inner worry, smiled and held his shoulders and said: "I know you are injured and can't drink, so I prepared some beef and mutton, which I raised myself. I will slaughter them for you today, and you can't refuse.

I know you are anxious to go back to see your sweetheart, don't worry, after you have eaten and drunk enough, I will arrange for someone to take you back in person!"

After saying this, Abdul took out the letter that Prince Guo had given him and returned it to him.

The prince nodded sincerely and bowed deeply to Abdul.

"Abdul, I would like to thank you for your great kindness. If you hadn't brought people to save me at the cost of their lives, I would have died on the top of the snowy mountain. Now you have treated me so well, and I have nothing to repay you for now. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, I am willing to help you at the cost of my life, without hesitation!"

Abdul laughed up to the sky, "Hahaha, Your Majesty, I am willing to help you because I value your character. You are different from those dignitaries in the capital that I have met. You do not have the arrogance and condescension of a royal relative. I, Abdul, admire people like this!

If a person bullies others simply because of his status and identity, he is not a hero in my opinion. But the prince is different. He is willing to sacrifice his life for the one he loves, regardless of his own safety and honor. He is truly a respectable warrior! "

When Prince Guo heard this, he knew that Abdul had misunderstood. He must have thought that he did it for a woman. Well, since he thought so, there was no point in explaining it further.

After a grand feast, Prince Guo took a carriage to the capital. As he was weak and covered in wounds, he couldn't ride a horse even if he wanted to.

He traveled day and night and finally returned to the capital. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he went straight to the Lianchi Academy.

At this time, he was already exhausted, but he still forced himself to cheer up and went into the yard, "Go find your Master Xiao!"

The waiter remembered him and hurried forward to pour a cup of tea, saying, "Sir, Master Xiao said that our Lotus Pond Academy is really unable to do what you want."

Prince Guo didn't say much, just told him: "Go ask Lord Xiao if he still wants to save Old Madam Xiao's life?"

As soon as the waiter heard the seriousness of the matter, he ran in quickly.

After a while, he came out to greet Prince Guo and went up to the secret room on the second floor, where Xiao Hu was already waiting.

Prince Guo sat opposite Xiao Hu with his box in hand, took a sip of tea, and said in a serious tone: "It is indeed difficult to investigate what I said last time. I know that Lord Xiao is not short of money, so I brought what Lord Xiao needs most as an exchange."

The prince opened the box and revealed the snow lotus inside.

Although Xiao Hu had never seen it with his own eyes, he had seen it in paintings, so he naturally recognized it. He opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless for a long time.

"This is...this is..."

"It is rumored in the capital that Lord Xiao is the most filial. Old Madam Xiao has been ill for many years and has been looking for alpine snow lotus. Now I have found one. If Lord Xiao is willing to help me find out about the Bi family, I will give this snow lotus to Lord Xiao.

I heard that Old Madam Xiao is not very old. If her illness can be cured, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to live another ten or eight years.”

Prince Guo's words made Xiao Hu's heart beat fast, but was this snow lotus real or fake? How did this person come here? He looked at the prince with doubt.

Prince Guo smiled calmly and said deliberately, "It's normal that Lord Xiao doesn't trust me, but I risked my life to pick this snow lotus. If it's kept for too long, it will lose its medicinal effect. What a pity..."

Xiao Hu didn't speak for a long time. Seeing this, Prince Guo finished the tea in the cup, stood up, picked up the box and prepared to go out.

"Please stay!" Xiao Hu suddenly shouted.
