Chapter 615: Ruthless (3)_1
Although the Thousand-year Ginseng and Black Lingzhi were right there in the Space, could she take them out in front of everyone? Clearly, she couldn’t afford the risk of exposing the Space just to save someone; besides, she really did need to go home to prevent her family from worrying.
Doctor Gui’s eyes lit up, and he said to Emperor Huian urgently, "Your Majesty, freshly harvested Black Lingzhi is best used in medicine. It would be best if Miss Mo could retrieve it now. The Red Python’s Gallbladder is also stored in the ice cellar of Jingshan Villa, and someone must be sent there immediately. His Highness... His Highness may not hold on much longer!"
Emperor Huian’s expression became solemn, and he was about to arrange for someone to depart immediately, but Xiao Ruiyuan stepped forward and requested to accompany Mo Yan back to the capital to retrieve the three crucial medicinal ingredients.
Emperor Huian agreed without hesitation and, to be cautious, also arranged for fifty of the top Imperial Secret Guards to accompany them for protection.
Despite Emperor Huian’s strict orders to keep Chu Heng’s critical condition confidential, other princes were also residing in the temporary palace, and it was impossible to hide any commotion in the side halls from their ears.
That no one had come to "visit" Chu Heng or comfort Emperor Huian thus far was simply a matter of waiting for an opportune moment. Emperor Huian was more aware of this than anyone, and he would not allow anyone to ruin his plans at this critical juncture.
Yan Junyu watched the two standing shoulder to shoulder and wanted to join them, but his concern for Chu Heng forced him to suppress the thought and instead, he cautioned them to be careful in everything they did.
With less than five hours until dawn, even with fast horses and whipping speed, going there and back would take at least four hours, plus entering the mountains to pick Black Lingzhi and going to Jingshan Villa to retrieve the Red Python’s Gallbladder would take at least one and a half hours each. By that time, they could only split up into two groups. If everything went smoothly, they would just make it in time; but if someone interfered, everything became an unknown!
