Chapter 214 True Allies
Chapter 214 True Allies
"I believe the Third Prince also knows that we have no intention of marrying into another country. Now it seems that the Third Prince doesn't believe it?" Yu Guiwan looked at him and asked.
"Of course not. It's just that I want you, the Xia Nation, to cooperate sincerely with me. If you agree, I can protect you. However, even if you are defeated at the border someday, Princess Yong'an cannot marry the Crown Prince."
Yu Guiwan curled her lips when she heard his words, "Why do you think we are so capable, Third Prince? We came to Zhao State for the purpose of marrying Princess Yong'an."
The Third Prince remained silent, only looking at Yu Guiwan, his eyes seemingly seeing through everything. "If that's really the case, I'm afraid Xia Kingdom won't want to discuss cooperation with Zhao Kingdom, right?"
"In my opinion, the Xia Kingdom is probably using the pretext of a marriage alliance but has no real intention of marrying Princess Yong'an here, right?"
"In that case, our goals are the same. In this case, can we cooperate?"
Yu Guiwan looked at him calmly. He had never expected that the truly intelligent person in Zhao State was this man. He had explained their plan so clearly in just a few words. But this was true.
Their purpose was the same, and with the Third Prince around, it would be much easier for her to find medicinal herbs. This way, the people in Zhao would not easily attack them.
In addition, Xie Zhiyi's safety can also be guaranteed
"We can cooperate."
"Then I wish us happy cooperation."
The Third Prince raised his glass and looked at Yu Guiwan. She also raised her glass and they drank the wine after their cooperation. The Third Prince did not stay for long. After all, he could not let anyone discover his whereabouts.
After the Third Prince left, Bai Huaxu also prepared to leave. Naturally, the two of them had to go their separate ways. After all, he was ostensibly the Crown Prince's man, and it would be bad if he was discovered.
"Mr. Bai, please stay."
Yu Guiwan suddenly called him.
Bai Huaxu stopped when he heard the voice and asked, "What else does Princess Chen want?"
"I have a favor to ask. Mr. Bai has influence all over Zhao State, so I want to inquire about something." Yu Guiwan stood up and leaned forward slightly. Since they had cooperated, they naturally had to make the best use of their resources.
Bai Huaxu must know the whereabouts of the medicinal herbs.
"Since we are allies, there is no need to be polite, Princess." Bai Huaxu disagreed. As long as it did not involve his interests, he would still help. After all, this was beneficial to their cooperative relationship.
"Master Bai, do you know where to find rare herbs?"
Hearing this, Bai Huaxu suddenly turned around and looked over. "Rare herbs?" he asked back, and immediately understood Yu Guiwan's intention.
Yu Guiwan did not avoid the inquiry in his eyes. This was her purpose. "Does Mr. Bai know?" She asked again, letting Bai Huaxu know her intention, so that he would think she wanted something from him.
In this way, Bai Huaxu will definitely help her.
"What a coincidence! I know a place that has it." Bai Huaxu said as he dipped his fingertips in the wine in the glass and wrote two words. After writing, Bai Huaxu left the restaurant.
Only then did Yu Guiwan walk forward and see clearly the two words written on the table.
fallen leaves.
Yu Guiwan narrowed his eyes when he heard these two words, memorized them in his heart, and left the restaurant.

Yu Guiwan went to find Ji Mingchuan as soon as she returned to the post station. Seeing her coming back from outside, Ji Mingchuan did not ask much, but just asked with concern, "How are your injuries? If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, don't force yourself."
She heard the caring words and smiled, "Much better. I came here today to ask Brother Mingchuan to help me find a place."
"Location?"
"Yes, it's a place called Fallen Leaves."
Yu Guiwan nodded and told Ji Mingchuan the name of the place. Ji Mingchuan couldn't help but frowned when he heard the name.
"Luoye? This name doesn't sound like a place name at all. But since you mentioned it, I'll send a few people out to inquire. Don't worry, it won't alert anyone."
Ji Mingchuan knew that Yu Guiwan must have her reasons for doing what she did. After Yu Guiwan returned to the house, she immediately said, "Come out, go look up a place name, and then tell Xie Sui the location."
As soon as the voice fell, a female secret guard appeared in the room, "Yes, Princess."
"By the way, tell him that if there is anything else, he can go to Bai Huaxu. He has no hostility towards Xia Country now." Yu Guiwan gave a brief explanation and told the secret guards sent by Xie Sui to protect her everything that happened today.
Just as I finished explaining, there was a knock on the door.
"Princess, someone wants to see you." The maid's voice came from outside the door.
Yu Guiwan was confused. Who would come to her at this time and need a message?
Just as she was wondering, a familiar voice rang out from outside the house, "Traitor, how long are you going to make me stand at the door?"
Chu Yue's voice sounded outside the door. Yu Guiwan's eyes suddenly lit up. He walked to the door and opened it, "Master, how did you get into the inn?" Yu Guiwan was very curious about this matter. If he didn't have someone he knew, he would definitely not be able to come in.
Chu Yue walked into the house as he spoke, "Nangong brought me in. I met him outside the post station."
Nangong?
"Nangong Yi?"
Yu Guiwan asked, she didn’t expect that her master was so familiar with Nangong Yi that they even addressed him differently.
Chu Yue nodded, "It's him. Have you forgotten that your master is away from home all year round, and Nangong has also been away for many years? He has also helped me a lot. If he hadn't accepted your Senior Brother Xu first, he would be your Senior Brother today."
Chu Yue knew what Yu Guiwan was thinking and explained directly.
"Is that so?" Yu Guiwan nodded thoughtfully. Since his master had arrived, Yu Guiwan immediately got down to business. "Master, I've found a clue."
"I heard from Bai Huaxu about a place called 'Fallen Leaves'. It's very likely that what we're looking for is there. I've already sent people out to inquire about this place."
"I've also sent a message to Xie Sui, asking his people to keep an eye on this place."
Speaking of this, Yu Guiwan's expression became solemn. Now that this position was not in the palace, she didn't need to go through the trouble of entering the palace.
Chu Yue came to the post station naturally for this matter. "I'm about to leave, so I'll go ahead. If you have any clues, I'll pass them back immediately." Chu Yue actually arrived two days earlier than Yu Guiwan, and he had been looking for clues about medicinal materials during these two days.
It was not until two days ago when she heard that the Xia Kingdom's marriage team had arrived in Zhao Kingdom that she hurried back. As soon as she arrived at the door of the post station, she met Nangong Yi and was able to enter the post station smoothly.
"By the way, this is for you."
Chu Yue took out the picture of medicinal herbs that he had drawn in advance from his arms and said, "Find it according to this."
