Chapter 207 Millennium Ginseng

The second prince was so angry that his chest felt tight and he couldn't breathe.

What was there about a little beggar that he, the second prince of the dynasty, couldn't kill? He didn't understand, but after hearing Wu De's offer to treat him, he still hesitated to kill the little beggar.

It's just a human life, not as important as his own life. The second prince thought and waved his hand, "Go away! Kick him out and don't let me see this little brat again."

This is all an afterthought. Murong Qing has been paying attention to this limerick matter. He had already sent an informant to wait on the street, waiting for the second prince to go out.

No, as soon as the second prince returned to the palace, Murong Qing's informant reported the news of his taking to the streets to the general's palace.

"How did the Second Prince react?"

Murong Qing's eyes were shining and he stopped eating, eager to know how the second prince felt when he heard this limerick.

"Back to Madam, the second prince was sitting in the carriage and no one could be seen, but from a distance, I heard the second prince asking the coachman to return to the house quickly. I must have heard it."

Murong Qing was a little regretful that he could not see the second prince beating his chest in anger. Did he throw things in anger when he returned to the house?

"Forget it, it's not easy to make him hear me. Anyway, it will make him angry for a while."

Pei Mo saw her looking like a villain and couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of her nose, "You are naughty."

Murong Qing said angrily, "I didn't do anything wrong, what I said is also true!"

Pei Mo felt that he couldn't suppress the raised corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold."

On a hot day, how can the food be cooled?

At this time, the two of them did not realize that the second prince would soon have another plan for them.

"Can it really grow from my place? How?" The second prince here asked worriedly.

"That's natural." Wude nodded and said, "It just requires the use of precious medicinal materials."

"What do you need? Your Highness will find them all for you."

Wude said, "We need to use thousand-year-old ginseng as a carrier. Thousand-year-old ginseng is not that easy to find. I have never seen a few thousand-year-old ginseng in my many years of practicing medicine."

The second prince looked solemn after hearing this. Ginseng is precious, and the ones that are thousands of years old are even more valuable. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy this kind of life-saving medicine.

But he would not give up easily and said, "Just take care of it. Isn't it Millennium Ginseng? I will just go find it."

The secret guard who had been idle for half a month finally received a decent job. The second prince ordered to search the entire capital to bring back the thousand-year-old ginseng at all costs.

I don't know what kind of bloody storm has started outside.

I don’t know whether it was because the second prince was unlucky, or because there were too few thousand-year-old ginseng in the capital. After a few days, Wude saw no more than four thousand-year-old ginseng, and they were all fake. They were either less than a thousand years old, or they were fake.

As a result, the second prince became very breathless.

"Trash, if you go and search for me in other prefectures, I won't believe it. The world is so big that you can't even find a thousand-year-old ginseng!"

"Crack——"

Another glass teacup was smashed by the second prince.

The steward of the Prince's Mansion looked at the fragments on the ground. They were all in vain. The old steward screamed in his heart. He found a place without fragments and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know where I can go."

There are thousand-year-old ginseng.”

"explain!"

The roar frightened the old steward's body and said, "In the General's Mansion, the Pei family has a thousand-year-old ginseng passed down from their ancestors. Now the only person left in the Pei family is General Pei. Maybe we can get it from General Pei."

The second prince stared at the steward, "Are you serious about this?"

"It's absolutely true, I don't dare to deceive His Highness!"

The second prince's eyes were dull and he was pacing in the room with his hands behind his back. He was wondering why it was Pei Mo again. It seemed he had to see no one else.

The next day, the second prince, who had not been seen in the court for a long time, appeared for the first time. The emperor was very happy and specifically asked about his physical condition.

For some reason, Pei Mo's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition came into his heart. Sure enough, he was stopped by the second prince when he was going to court.

Pei Mo asked, "I wonder what the second prince is doing?"

The second prince asked, "How are you doing, General Pei? We haven't seen each other for a long time since we said goodbye last time at the city gate. By the way, how is your lady's health? I have some good medicinal materials in my house. I wonder if General Pei needs it?"

To be courteous without any problem is to be either a traitor or a thief. Pei Mo knew this truth well and said with an indifferent expression on his face, "Thank you very much for your concern, the second prince. I am in good health. I have important matters to deal with. If the second prince is fifty, I will go first."

Farewell."

The second prince saw Pei Mo's impatience and could only keep the story short, "Stay, actually, I have something to ask for."

"Second Prince, please speak."

"General Pei doesn't know. My prince's cousin contracted tuberculosis a few days ago and needs to be cured with thousand-year-old ginseng medicine. I grew up with my cousin and couldn't bear it. I also heard that General Pei's house was full of tuberculosis.

We have ancestral ginseng that has been passed down for thousands of years, so we have to take this strategy, and I hope that General Pei can fulfill my prince's wish."

Pei Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said with a smile, "I see, the Second Prince is kind. There is indeed a thousand-year-old ginseng in Xiaguan's family. Although it is passed down from his ancestors, Xianguan has never seen it before. We have to go back to the family storehouse to find out about it before we can show it to the Second Highness.

reply."

"That's fine." The second prince breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry about General Pei. Once you find it, you will give me a reply. Then I will thank General Pei first. Then I will thank General Pei again."

Pei Mo nodded and turned aside to let the second prince go first. His eyes moved slightly from behind, not knowing what he was thinking.

The second prince walked with his head held high, not in a hurry, because he knew that Pei Mo would be difficult to deal with, so he had to figure it out slowly. On the other hand, as long as he confirmed that Pei Mo's family had thousand-year ginseng, he could still do it secretly.

General's Mansion.

"The second prince asked you for thousand-year-old ginseng?" Murong Qing said in surprise, "Isn't it to cure the root of men?"

"It's very possible." Pei Mo nodded, "I carefully observed the second prince's pace when he went to court. His pace was slow and frivolous. If it was not caused by pain, it was because of a subconscious slowdown. It seems that he has not recovered yet."

Murong Qing frowned. Even after using ginseng for a thousand years, it was not possible that the second prince could be cured. Instead, it was a pity for such a precious ginseng.

Pei Mo added, "I guess I can't keep this ginseng. I'm just worried that refusing will lead to the Second Prince's revenge. Why don't we let him exchange it with us."

The last incident of corruption was proved by the reaction of the emperor in the court. What if the old emperor chose to protect the second prince to the end?

"What can the second prince give us in exchange? Gold, silver and other treasures are worthless. If you exchange them with him, you will lose money!" Murong Qing frowned, "Think about it quickly, what good things are hidden in the second prince's house?
