In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

"So be it. It's all up to us. Even if a conflict arises, so be it. That's the least costly thing we can pay!" Li Yuanchang said in a deep voice, no longer hesitating.

"Chi Lian, you personally go and secretly find one for me..."

His voice was very low, so low that only the two of them could hear it clearly.

"..."

Not long after, Li Yuanchang secretly went to Li Su's place again, but left quickly.

The next day.

Within Suoyang City, carriages and horses transported goods continuously.

Li Yuanchang, along with Qin Fucha and others, stood on a high vantage point overlooking the area, discussing their journey south along the ancient Tang-Tibet Road.

"Lord Lunqin, I think we should wait until supplies are replenished, then set off early tomorrow morning and arrive in Baihai as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Tibetan delegation exchanged glances, feeling that Li Yuanchang's behavior was somewhat strange, but ultimately it was a good thing.

"Yes, I will obey the King of Han's orders."

"Once Princess Wencheng successfully enters Tibet, our Tubo will surely sing praises to the Han King!"

Li Yuanchang simply smiled.

At that moment, a guard rushed over.

"Report!!"

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Princess Wencheng is unwell, vomiting incessantly, and nearly fainted!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

"What did you say?"

"Your Highness, it's absolutely true. The army doctor wants you to take a look."

"A bunch of bastards! I told you to take good care of Her Highness the Princess, how have you been watching over her?!" Li Yuanchang roared angrily, then rushed down quickly.

Lun Qinfu and the others also looked grim and quickly followed.

As the main figures in the marriage alliance between the two countries, they would be unable to explain themselves if anything went wrong.

The main post station was filled with the aroma of medicine.

A series of vomiting sounds came from inside, as if someone was about to vomit up all their stomach acid.

"Your Highness, please stop. The princess is not in a position to see anyone right now," a guard said, bowing respectfully.

"What happened?" Lun Qin Fu Cha couldn't help but ask, his face filled with anxiety.

"Your Excellencies, after the princess ate some tonics early this morning, she felt extremely unwell. First, she vomited, then she suddenly felt trembling, and then she fell ill."

"The army doctor said it might be poisoning!" said the bodyguard in charge of close protection.

"Poisoning??"

"Where did the supplements come from?" Li Yuanchang asked grimly.

"Your Highness, yes..." The guard hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Speak up!" Li Yuanchang hissed, clearly furious.

"It is... cordyceps and snow lotus brought by the Tibetan envoy." The guard bowed his head.

Upon hearing this, all eyes, including those of Li Yuanchang, turned to Lun Qin Fucha and the others.

The Tibetan envoys all changed color, and then solemnly rejected the proposal.

"impossible!"

"The supplements we brought are all good quality; there's no way they could be poisonous!"

"Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding here!"

"You are the ones protecting the princess closely. If anything happens to her, it's your responsibility. What does it have to do with our tonics?"

"So you mean the people of my Great Tang are going to harm their own princess?" Guo Chao shouted.

The two sides quickly started arguing.

Li Yuanchang hissed, "Enough!"

The scene fell silent immediately.

"The princess isn't well yet, what's all the noise about? The most important thing is to heal her, otherwise we'll all be punished!"

Lun Qin Fucha also stepped forward, his expression grave: "Your Highness is right."

"Now is not the time to argue; we should treat the princess immediately and find the cause."

"Your Highness, why don't we let our men go in and take a look as well?"

Li Yuanchang glanced at the Lunqin Fucha tea.

"it is good."

"But the man cannot enter."

"Furthermore, Guo Chao, you must immediately lead your men and the Tibetan envoys to thoroughly investigate the princess's diet and find out exactly where the problem lies."

"If anyone poisoned the area, they must be caught!"

"yes!"

"..."

The cluster of post stations quickly stirred up a considerable storm.

Princess Wencheng's poisoning and vomiting incident has touched a nerve with everyone.

Especially for the Tibetan envoys, who were eating their food? If something went wrong, who would be responsible?

This is also the core reason for the dispute between the two sides; the Tibetan envoy was also afraid of something going wrong and taking responsibility.

As night fell, the investigation results, obtained through the joint efforts of both sides, were astonishing.

"Your Highness, all water and food sources have been checked, and all backups have been retrieved."

"The problem lies with these tonics. Although they are not poisonous, the medicinal herbs are too potent, and after being dried for a long time, they have begun to rot and taste sour. The princess is delicate, and after consuming them, she vomited and had diarrhea. This is a case of poisoning!"

"fart!"

"You're shirking your responsibility!"

"It's clearly your improper use of medicine that caused the princess to fall ill!"

"Why are we fine after eating it?"

"Can your bodies compare to the princess's? I told you not to get close to her, but you insisted. Now this has happened, and it's all your fault!"

"What did you say?!"

The sound of slamming tables filled the air, and the argument erupted once again, with the two sides almost coming to blows.

Ultimately, the situation was brought under control thanks to the intervention of Li Yuanchang and Lunqin Fucha.

However, the fact that the tonics were provided by Tibetan envoys became a major concern for the Tibetans. In subsequent investigations, they found no problems; the only possible issue was the tonics themselves.

Lunqin Fucha was furious, but he could only explain to Li Yuanchang repeatedly and request that their Tibetan doctors be allowed to intervene.

Throughout the day, the post station was shrouded in chaos, with renowned doctors from all over Hexi responding to the call.

With the combined intervention of traditional Chinese medicine and Tibetan medicine, Li Su's lights never went out, and her vomiting never stopped until the middle of the night when she finally felt a little better.

At this moment, the night was pitch black, and the post station was eerily quiet.

Because Princess Wencheng fell ill, the population here nearly doubled.

Even so, a dark figure still quietly approached the post station and entered the main post station without any resistance, bypassing all the guards.

The shadowy figure stretched out, closing in step by step on the soft couch inside the main post station.

The slight footsteps startled Li Su, who was lying on the bed, pale and extremely weak. She reacted with panic and then struggled to lift her head.

He tentatively asked in a low voice, "Is this Your Highness?"

A dark figure stopped in front of the bed, and a hand pulled back the curtain.

"How did you know it was me?" Li Yuanchang's voice rang out.

Under the cover of night, Li Su revealed a pale smile and lowered his voice: "Wu Yu secretly told me today that His Highness will be coming tonight."

"And the footsteps sound like His Highness to me."

Li Yuanchang was both amused and exasperated; he could even hear the footsteps.

"No need to get up, just lie down."

"How are you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Li Su's forehead.

Li Su gave a reassuring smile: "Your Highness, it's nothing, I just vomited a lot."

Li Yuanchang frowned: "There's no other way. You just have to endure this hardship for now. We need to lay the groundwork first."

"You acted very well today; you fooled the Tibetan envoys."

Li Su smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Your Highness, I could hear you yelling and shouting angrily from inside."

"It's just that I feel sorry for those palace maids and eunuchs. They clearly didn't do anything wrong." As she spoke, her eyes were full of guilt.
