With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Stop being so cheeky." Nangong Wu walked up to him. "I came to find you because I want you to help me find something."

"Then come inside and we'll talk." Bei Chenyan opened both doors, turned and walked into the house. "Speak, what do you want me to find?"

"A kind of bewitching herb." Nangong Wu followed him into the house and took out the picture she had just printed out.

"Have you seen this herb before?"

Bei Chenyan took the paper from her hand and was quite surprised to see the incredibly realistic drawing of a blade of grass on it. "This...you drew this?"

It is clear that this is a rubbing of a blueprint.

The fact that even a rubbing is so realistic and exquisite shows just how lifelike the original painting was.

"Never mind who painted it for now." Nangong Wu didn't have time to explain how the painting came about. "This kind of grass is called Bewitching Grass. Have you ever seen it? I need it urgently."

"Bewitching Grass?" Bei Chenyan carefully examined the grass and shook his head.

"I don't know much about herbs. Feng Wushang is a doctor, so he should recognize most herbs. Why don't we ask him, or go to the pharmacy tomorrow?"

"Then I'll go ask Feng Wushang first!" Nangong Wu took the blueprints from his hand and turned to leave.

"Hey! Is this herb that important? It's the middle of the night, why are you still looking for it?" Bei Chenyan said as he followed her out.

Nangong Wu didn't stop walking. "It's important, and I need it urgently."

Bei Chenyan frowned. "I heard from Li Shuang that you went to the palace again tonight, and she sent a message telling me not to take any action against that old hag. Has something happened?"

"Something happened to my imperial uncle..." Nangong Wu didn't hide anything from him and told him about how Emperor Mingde had been poisoned.

"Holy crap." Bei Chenyan couldn't help but exclaim after hearing this.

"That old hag is truly cunning, even scheming against her own son. She's practically half-buried, what's the point of tormenting her like this? Is she trying to destroy the Western Yan Kingdom?"

"That's what that old man thinks," Nangong Wu said with disgust.

"The old hag already knows it was her imperial uncle who wiped out the Ming family, so she's become mentally twisted!"

Bei Chenyan understood. "So, you're in such a hurry to find this Bewitching Grass because you want to remove the Gu worm from His Majesty's body?"

"Um."

As the two were talking, they arrived at the courtyard where Feng Wushang lived.

"I'll do it." Bei Chenyan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door to the main room was heard open, and Feng Wushang's clear, gentle voice came through, "Who is it?"

"It's us," Bei Chenyan replied.

"Young Master Xiao?" Upon hearing his voice, Feng Wushang came out and opened the courtyard gate. He was wearing an outer robe and holding a book in his hand, indicating that he had just been reading.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw Nangong Wu there. "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Nangong Wu nodded to him. "I came to see you about something."

"Please come in quickly." Feng Wushang stepped aside to let them in. "If you need to find me in the future, you can just send someone to call me. You don't need to come in person."

"Nothing much, I just happened to come and see you. How have you been staying here?"

Nangong Wu looked around his small courtyard. In the dim moonlight, she saw that although the courtyard was small, it was elegantly decorated.

"Excellent." Feng Wushang smiled. "This is the first time I've stayed in such a nice courtyard; everything is wonderful."

"As long as you're comfortable, just let the housekeeper know if you need anything."

Nangong Wu stopped in the courtyard. "We won't go inside. We came to ask you a question: do you recognize this herb?"

She took out a mini flashlight, turned it on, and shone it on the drawing in her hand.

"Herbal medicine?" Feng Wushang glanced at the flashlight in her hand in surprise before looking at the blueprint.

"This is Earthly Fiend Grass!" He recognized it at a glance.

"Earthly Fiend Grass?" Seeing that he recognized the grass, Nangong Wu quickly asked, "Where can I find it?"

Feng Wushang shook his head, "This kind of herb is extremely hard to find. It usually grows in extremely yin places and has little medicinal value."

"Not much medicinal value? In other words, this herb isn't sold in pharmacies at all?"

"That's it." Feng Wushang nodded. "I've seen this kind of grass before. It has a special smell that poisonous insects love. Wherever this grass grows, there are usually poisonous insects."

"Where did you see this kind of grass before?" Nangong Wu asked again.

"I don't think I've ever seen this kind of grass in the Western Yan Kingdom, but it must exist in the southern part of the Southern Qi Kingdom," Feng Wushang said.

"Okay, I understand! Thank you." Nangong Wu put the drawings away. "Sorry to bother you, you should get some rest."

"May I ask, Your Highness, what do you need this Earthly Fiend Grass for?" Feng Wushang asked.

"To lure out the Gu worms, it seems I'll have to make a trip to the Southern Qi Kingdom." Nangong Wu didn't explain further, bid him farewell, and said, "I'll head back now."

"There's actually this kind of grass in Nanqi Kingdom?" Bei Chenyan asked in surprise, taking the blueprint from her hand. "I have quite a few friends in Nanqi Kingdom. Leave the task of finding the grass to me, and I'll have them deliver it to you as quickly as possible."

"Thanks then." Nangong Wu smiled gratefully at him.

Since she transmigrated, this man has been the one who has helped her the most.

"What are you thanking me for? With our friendship, thanking me is too polite." Bei Chenyan naturally took her hand and walked outside.

Nangong Wu tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly. She couldn't forcefully break free in front of Feng Wushang, so she had no choice but to let him lead her away from Feng Wushang's courtyard.

Only when they arrived at Bei Chenyan's courtyard did Nangong Wu break free from his hand. "Thanks, I can go back by myself."

But Bei Chenyan suddenly picked her up and flew away from there.

Nangong Wu instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. "Don't hug people so easily."

"It's a bit far from Zui Mei Courtyard, about a fifteen-minute walk. I'll walk you there," Bei Chenyan's voice rang in her ear. "It's not like it's the first time I've carried you."

Soon, Bei Chenyan flew down to Zui Mei Courtyard.

"You're tired after fighting all day. Take a good rest. Leave everything to me." After saying that, Bei Chenyan turned and left.

Nangong Wu looked in the direction he disappeared, knowing that he had left the palace.

She stood there for a while.

I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to this man. I need to keep my distance from him in the future, so he won't hug me all the time.

"Your Highness." Granny Feng appeared beside her at some point, "Although Young Master Xiao is of rather ordinary appearance, he is of good character, and his knowledge and other aspects are no less than yours. He is also good to the princes."

"I know." Nangong Wu knew what she wanted to say.

But she never thought about getting married.

With her abilities, she hasn't reached the point where she can't live without a man.

The next day.
