As white light appeared on the horizon, daybreak was about to begin.

At this moment, she couldn't delay for a moment, so she could only leave with a heavy heart. Bei Lan sent her out and reminded her at the gate of the mansion: "Don't tell the Queen Mother about the prince's poisoning and injury. If too many people know about it, I'm afraid those who usually don't get along with the prince will be ready to make a move."

"I know." Shen Mengyao nodded slightly.

When she arrived at Xingqing Palace, she looked absent-minded and worried.

Even though she was ill, the Queen Mother noticed something was wrong and asked softly, "It is said that this Buddhist temple is a good place to calm the mind. Why do you feel more worried after your visit?"

Shen Mengyao came back to her senses with a start, and forced a smile: "I just saw that the Royal Grandmother's illness was recurring, so I was worried for a while."

"You are really caring, child." The Queen Mother sighed and stroked the Buddhist scriptures she brought with her own hands: "I hope that with the blessing of this Buddhist scripture, my illness will be cured."

Shen Mengyao forced a smile: "Yes."

Just then, Fu Qing came with a bowl of medicine. Shen Mengyao quickly stood up and took the bowl, shifting her attention: "Grandmother, I'll serve you medicine."

The Queen Mother sighed softly and looked at her lovingly: "Child, you have been tired for so many days, but you still don't rest for a moment. Your filial piety is commendable. I see it all. Go and rest soon."

Shen Mengyao forced a smile: "You are my grandmother, how can I feel tired serving you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, *** suddenly came out from the back hall with a faint smile on his face: "As expected, you are smooth-talking and the best at winning people's hearts."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frowned: "Shaohua, what do you mean?"

***The eyes that were originally staring at her with hostility softened at this moment: "I am not praising the princess's sister for her ability to deal with people."

The Queen Mother's expression was still grim: "This choice of words is rather strange."

*** said with a coquettish smile: "I made a fool of myself because of my poor skills. Please don't laugh at me anymore, I am going to lose all my face."

"You." The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly. She didn't care much. She was just very sleepy after drinking the medicine, so she waved her hand and said, "You all should leave. I need to rest."

Shen Mengyao bowed and was about to leave when she suddenly felt a burning gaze staring at her.

This gaze came from ***, and she was shocked. *** hated her so much, could it be that those assassins were her work?

When she was leaving, she called out to ***, stared at her fearlessly, smiled faintly and said, "Do you still want those men of ***?"

"What do you mean?" *** just frowned coldly.

"Those people were sent by the Communist Party, right? They confessed everything." Shen Mengyao planned to trick her.

*** was not panicked at all, and a faint smile flashed across her beautiful face: "If you were absolutely sure, you would not come to ask me privately. I'm afraid you would directly confront me in court. I don't have time to play these boring tricks with you."

After saying that, *** turned and left, leaving the place desolate.

Shen Mengyao stood there, with a thousand thoughts in her mind. She knew that the threat from the *** had not been resolved, and she had to be vigilant at all times.

At this moment, ***'s attitude is unclear. Does this matter have anything to do with her?

But now she didn't have time to think so much. After leaving the palace, she went straight to the Regent's Palace.

The Regent's Palace is so tightly guarded that not even a fly can fly in.

The situation outside Qi Sui'an's bedroom was even worse. Bei Lan brought a group of trusted followers and directly surrounded the bedroom with three layers of security, each layer strictly enforced.

Bei Lan was waiting anxiously in the room. When he saw Shen Mengyao coming back, he hurried over to greet her.

"How is it? Has the prince's condition improved?" Shen Mengyao asked anxiously.

Bei Lan shook his head, his face extremely solemn: "The situation is not optimistic. The toxicity has not been completely suppressed. On the contrary, the prince's condition has shown signs of worsening. He may die of the poison at any time."

Shen Mengyao's heart tightened and a feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously.

"How to do?"

Bei Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "We can only look for a miraculous doctor. I have heard some rumors, but it is difficult for the Regent Palace to intervene."

"This is not difficult, leave it to me." Shen Mengyao said immediately: "The Princess's Mansion should not suspect the prince."

Bei Lan nodded and said, "I heard that there is a famous doctor in Jianghu who is known as a magic doctor. Patients who have been treated by him can be saved even if they step into the palace of Hades. Now the prince's condition may only be cured by this magic doctor."

"I've never heard of him. Where can I find him?" Shen Mengyao couldn't wait. At this moment, time was precious and there was no time to waste.

Bei Lan sighed, "This is the difficulty. It is said that there is a Divine Medicine Valley in the west. It is surrounded by high mountains and is inaccessible. No one has ever been there. I don't know if it is true or not."

Shen Mengyao couldn't help but feel worried: "Are we going to put all our hopes on this miracle doctor who may not even be found?"

Bei Lan didn't want to do this, but he really had no good idea.

"Besides this, I'm afraid no one else has the ability to heal the prince."

Shen Mengyao was anxious when she heard Bei Lan say this. She knew that time was running out and the prince's life was in danger. She could not delay any longer. She said resolutely: "No matter what, I will go to find this miracle doctor. Even if the mountains are high and the waters are far, and the journey is difficult, I will definitely find him."

Bei Lan knew that Shen Mengyao had a strong character and would not give up easily once she made a decision. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Princess, I will go with you."

Shen Mengyao shook her head and refused: "Bei Lan, we still need people here, you come to take care of the prince, maybe my identity will make it easier for me to get close to the miracle doctor, you wait for me here."

Bei Lan wanted to persuade her again, but seeing Shen Mengyao's determined eyes, he knew it was useless to persuade her at this time. So, he could only nod and say, "Princess, you must be careful."

Shen Mengyao nodded heavily, and before leaving, she turned back and looked deeply at Qi Suian. At this moment, a complex emotion was flowing silently in her heart.

Don’t think about anything else, as long as Qi Sui’an is alive, that’s enough.

She returned to the Princess's Mansion and simply packed her bag. When Cuiwei found out, she said worriedly, "Princess, you've never been far away before."

"It's not far. We can get there in a day or so by riding a fast horse." Shen Mengyao carried her bag on her back and said, "Please take care of the affairs in the mansion for me. If anyone asks me where I've been, just say I'm sick and I'm recuperating."

"Okay." Cuiwei nodded heavily: "Let Luochuan go with you."

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and agreed, thinking that having someone around could help.
