Chapter 666: Deciding to Go to Wanyao Valley
"That level of intensity is nothing to me."
"We're not on a mission right now, there's no need to get so worked up."
"Listen to my wife, I won't do it again."
Fu Ling's hand touched his eyes: "Close your eyes and go to sleep."
Lu Beichen closed his eyes obediently. Seeing that he was quite obedient, Fu Ling closed his eyes in satisfaction.
It wasn't long before Aunt Lin's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, are you asleep?"
He opened his eyes in confusion, rubbed his sore eyes, and came to his senses after a while.
She saw that Lu Beichen had woken up and was looking at her quietly.
"Someone is calling outside the door." Lu Beichen said softly.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Gen invites you to have lunch." Aunt Lin's voice came from outside the door again.
Fu Ling replied, "I understand. I'll get up right away."
"Do you need a servant to come in and help you dress up?"
Fu Ling's eyebrows furrowed softly: "No need, go tell Bage, I'll be there soon."
"Yes, the slaves retire."
"Wife, get up and eat."
"What about you? Why don't you come with me?"
"Silly boy, it's bad for your reputation to go with you like this. How about I come and have dinner with you tonight?"
Fu Ling pouted and looked reluctant: "Okay, remember to eat lunch, I'll go first."
"Well, let's go."
Lu Beichen and Fu Ling stood up together.
"Are you leaving?" Fu Ling asked curiously after seeing his actions.
"I promised you I'd have lunch first, then go search a bit, and come stay with you in the evening."
"I've only slept for about an hour. Why don't you stay home this afternoon and get some rest."
Lu Beichen rubbed Fu Ling's head, his face full of pampering: "One hour is enough for me. I'll come to accompany you later, okay?"
It’s almost as if he is still young, and staying up late and getting less sleep are no problem for him.
Fu Ling sighed lightly and let him go.
She was neatly dressed, with her hair simply tied up with a pearl hairpin: "I'm leaving now."
"it is good."
"I'm really leaving..." Fu Ling hesitated and walked to the door but didn't open it for a long time.
Lu Beichen raised the corners of his mouth, walked a few steps to the door, and gently kissed Fu Ling on the lips: "Wife, can I go out now?"
"I didn't have energy just now, but I do now." Fu Ling smiled brightly. Before Lu Beichen could react, she stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the lips. "It's rude not to reciprocate."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
During the meal, in order to make it easier to talk, Xuanyuan Gen sent everyone out.
"Myna, Lu Beichen said he'd come over tonight."
"Have you contacted him?"
"Yes." Fu Ling said without hesitation.
"Where is he now? Why not invite him over for dinner?"
"I've already invited him. He's busy right now, but he promised to stay with me for dinner."
"Okay, I'll remind the kitchen to prepare more delicious food later."
"Don't bother with that. Just do it as usual. No need to be so deliberate."
"I promised you that I would let you taste all the delicacies of Xuanyuan, but that's still a long way off." Xuanyuan Gen was not a talkative person, but when he was with Fu Ling and Lu Beichen, he spoke more unconsciously.
He never talks while eating or sleeping, he has long forgotten all the rules.
Xuanyuan Gen changed the subject: "Ling'er, is Beichen looking for the source of the disease?"
"Yes, he said that he would not be at peace until he found it, so he wanted to find it as soon as possible."
"Without any clues, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's difficult for him."
Xuanyuan Gen's face was filled with emotion, which could not be expressed in words.
"I have a hunch that I might find clues in Wanyao Valley."
"Wanyao Valley?" Xuanyuan Gen recalled every detail of his previous life.
He suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Oh right, I remember Ouyang Yuan had a close relationship with an elder from Wanyao Valley. I met this person once when I was in Xuanyuan. I think his last name was Qin."
Fu Ling remained calm as always. While eating, he replied, "I know the person you're talking about. His name is Qin Ming."
"Yes, it's him!"
"He and Ouyang Yuan have always had dealings with medicinal herbs."
Xuanyuan Gen instantly felt that the food no longer smelled good. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked curiously, "Ling'er, how did you know this person?"
"We found clues about this person from Ouyang Yuan. He is currently the number one suspect."
"Yes, there are many herbs in Wanyao Valley, so perhaps this is really possible." Xuanyuan Gen no longer had the heart to eat. He stood up and was about to leave: "Ling'er, I won't accompany you for dinner. Wanyao Valley is a long way away. I will send someone to investigate first."
Fu Ling put down his bowl and chopsticks to stop him: "Myna, don't worry. Even if we rush, it will take a month to get to Xuanyuan from Wanyao Valley. We are in too short a time. If we alert the enemy, it would be bad. Have you forgotten my ability?"
She had originally planned to go to Wanyao Valley after the wedding, but Fu Ling suddenly changed her mind.
There are still more than ten days before the wedding. Instead of wasting time searching, it is better to eliminate the most suspicious places first. If we can't find it in Wanyao Valley, it will not be too late to continue the carpet search.
Thinking of this, Fu Ling said, "Myna, sit down first."
After calming down, Xuanyuan Gen felt a little ashamed. He was usually calm and composed, but as long as it involved Ouyang Yuan and the pathogen, he couldn't stay calm.
"I'm sorry, I was indeed a little inconsiderate."
"You can't be blamed for this. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will react the same way as you. I understand."
Seeing him sit down, Fu Ling poured him a glass of water and then continued, "I won't be returning to the palace for the time being. I'll have to trouble Brother B to help cover for me. Lu Beichen and I will go to Wanyao Valley in the next few days to inquire about the situation there. If there are any clues, I will inform you as soon as possible."
"I will go with you."
"Who will cover for me if you go? If Queen Mother knew I wasn't in Prince Gen's Mansion, she would be frightened to death. This time, Queen Mother sent two people to accompany me. You should find a way to send them back to the palace first."
Xuanyuan Gen didn't know how to respond after hearing this. He felt powerless and needed Fu Ling and Lu Beichen's help for everything. He felt useless.
Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Fu Ling comforted him: "My brother, don't think too much. We have different responsibilities. Compared to you shouldering the heavy responsibility of a country, my little is simply insignificant."
"Even so, I still feel a little guilty."
"In that case, how about you find me some rare and interesting things as a reward for my hard work?"
Xuanyuan Gen smiled again: "Okay! As long as it's something you like, I'll find it for you."
"Myna, actually, the one who should thank you the most is me..."
"How do you say this?"
"I am the only daughter of my parents in China, and I have never felt the love of an older brother. It was you who made me realize that having an older brother is actually quite good."
