"Your Highness, this is what my father asked me to give you."

In the owner's box on the third floor of Tianxiang Building, Chu Wenqian handed a diamond-shaped wooden sign to the third prince who had just been named the crown prince, along with a letter.

The prince opened the letter and read it carefully. The letter wrote about the function of the wooden sign. This is the secret power of the Jin Palace. It can mobilize three thousand troops. When King Taiping and Chu Wenqian and their entourage go to Tartar, this power can protect the third prince.

A family of three.

"Uncle Jin, you are so thoughtful." The prince looked moved. When King Jin sent these things, his canonization decree had not yet come down. He was still only the third prince. Prince Jin's palace was really standing firmly behind him.

Protect yourself.

The panic that was originally caused by King Taiping's departure to Tartar was completely settled at this moment.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry now. You must pay attention to safety on the way to Tartar." The prince made the decision directly without King Taiping saying anything.

"The King of Jin has a thoughtful idea, but Luanping is left to His Highness the Crown Prince." King Taiping originally planned to leave some manpower for the Crown Prince, but now Luanping is enough.

The prince was shocked by King Taiping's words, "Luan Ping is my uncle's right-hand man, how could he..."

"I'm going to get married, not to fight, not to mention that Luan An is here." King Taiping said, "We can rest assured when we travel far away with Luan Ping by your side."

"Thank you, uncle." The prince was very touched.

"You are in a special position now and are jealous of others. The other party is likely to take advantage of our trip to attack you. In this case, let's take the bait and fish him out directly." King Taiping has already made a plan.

Let's plan it before setting off, and then His Highness the Prince will finish it off.

On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, Luo Mingxin's wedding ceremony was held. Due to the change of status, he could not do anything small this time, so he had to go big.

The imperial concubine is the guest of honor, and this was requested by the imperial concubine herself.

The hairpin given to Luo Mingxin and her hairpin was prepared by the imperial concubine herself. It was a milky-white suet jade hairpin, which was very valuable.

After the ceremony, it was time to set off, and the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month was chosen.

Geshumu entered the palace early to ask the emperor about the time, and also discussed the route and security issues with King Taiping.

Because of the rich dowry, the team this time was very large. King Taiping directly led 10,000 soldiers to escort them all the way. Of course, this was not only for the sake of safety, but also to show that Chu State had strong military strength.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, the prince led a team to send off the Wenshui County Lord and the Tatar people who had married far away at the gate of the city. The team, as long as a swimming dragon, set off in an orderly manner under the leadership of the soldiers, with great momentum and majesty.

Chen Xiuyan, casually in the carriage with Princess Changshou, was at the front of the procession, just behind Luo Mingxin's wedding carriage.

We cannot ride in the same carriage today. After all, in the eyes of the public, at this moment of departure, Chen Xiuyan and the others cannot ignore the rules.

Only those who have endured the hardships of traveling know the hardships of a long journey. Many people's excitement from the beginning was quickly replaced by fatigue.

At this time, what Chen Xiuyan admired the most were the soldiers. Even after a week, they still strictly abided by military orders, were meticulous, and had tough eyes.

The soldiers led by King Taiping were all soldiers who had been to the station, and their momentum was different. Occasionally, there were carriages approaching from the opposite direction on the official road, but they all hid or drove past quickly, which was very intimidating.

With so many people, the soldiers chose nearby locations to camp, while Chen Xiuyan and his party stayed at the inn.

"Sister Xiuyan." Chen Xiuyan heard Princess Changshou's voice in the room and hurriedly went to open the door. She saw the little man holding Sui Ran in his arms, followed by Hu Yuanan. Hu Yuanan was holding a fruit plate in his hand, which was full of tropical fruits.

, there is no such thing in Beijing this season.

"It was just delivered, I picked it up fresh." Hu Yuanan said calmly.

Chen Xiuyan welcomed people in. It was winter in the capital. Apart from well-preserved apples and frozen pears, there were almost no other fruits. This plate was full of precious things.

On the black soil in Chen Xiuyan's space, she planted two fruit trees after she had enough food, one peach and one orange. They could often harvest them, but when it was not in season, she and Chu Wenqian only dared to eat secretly in the room.

, give him something to eat occasionally, he is young, even if he tells people, they won’t think much about it.

Now that she saw the tropical fruits in the fruit plate, Chen Xiuyan wanted to see some saplings so that she could add more varieties.

"Show your face."

While a group of people were feasting on fruit in the house, King Taiping and Chu Wenqian came. Their expressions were a bit unpleasant. Chen Xiuyan knew that something was wrong at the first sight.

"What happened?"

"Someone put medicine in the soldiers' meals. At first, a few people became unwell one after another, so we didn't think much about it, but now many people are sick." King Taiping's words caused everyone in the room to fall silent for an instant.

"Epidemic?" Hu Yuanan said.

"I'm not sure. It's not the same as what I encountered before." King Taiping said, "The accompanying doctor didn't see the situation, so he wanted you to take a look."

"Okay." Chen Xiuyan went to change into simple clothes and put on a mask and gloves. She modified them according to the style of the space using fabrics of this era.

He asked King Taiping and Chu Wenqian to put them on as well, and the three of them walked to the place where they camped outside the inn.

As Chen Xiuyan got closer, she heard a faint cry of pain.

When Chen Xiuyan walked into it, she found a tent specifically for people who were feeling unwell. Chen Xiuyan looked carefully and found that many people were covering their hearts with their hands, some were holding their heads, and some were slightly twitching.

Chen Xiuyan frowned slightly and asked people who were more aware. She asked several people and then went to check what they were eating.

"Everyone eats the same thing." The cook in charge of the camp was a little panicked, but also a little confused. Why were some of the food coming out of the big pot okay and some sick?

Chen Xiuyan checked the food in the pot, but before she could say anything, an old man wrapped in a cloak came over carrying a medicine box, "The food is not poisonous, I have tested it."

"What was used to test it?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

"Silver Needle."

"Silver needles can't detect many poisons." Chen Xiuyan said, "It's nux vomica."

"Although Nux vomica is a traditional Chinese medicine, overdose can cause poisoning." Chen Xiuyan said, "The first pot was poisoned when cooking in this pot, and the toxicity decreased in the subsequent pots, so some people have a great reaction, and some people have no reaction.

reaction."

"Nux vomica." After hearing this, the doctor began to examine it carefully. After two-quarters of an hour, his face became darker and he said, "I was negligent."

Knowing that it was Nux vomica, it was very simple to prepare detoxification medicine. Soldiers with mild symptoms were treated by doctors. Chen Xiuyan, who had severe symptoms, directly injected medicine to detoxify and gave her stomach nourishing medicine.

King Taiping is responsible for investigating the source of the medicine and the person who poisoned it.
