Chapter 377: Royal Prince Lan Is Jealous

Qi Tianyou’s face darkened. “The servants from the Gu family said he’s in seclusion.”

In seclusion?

Is it true seclusion or just a pretense?

Who knows?

If Gu Zhicheng intentionally avoids appearing, there must be a reason for it. The Dingbei Army’s siege of the city was likely predicted by someone in secret. Otherwise, in the current dire circ.u.mstances faced by Chengyuan, the traditional unwritten rules that Saints often adhere to become irrelevant.

Gu Qingluan didn’t say anything more. The situation was critical, and there was no time for further discussion.

She glanced at Feng Tianlan and then said, “I previously swore not to partic.i.p.ate in the battle between the two armies. If you need help, go to him.” Qi Tianyou didn’t know why she made such an oath, but he could guess the reason.

Without Gu Qingluan’s a.s.sistance, their chances of victory were greatly diminished.

But asking the Royal Prince Lan for help?

That was just wishful thinking!

Feng Tianlan also had no intention of intervening further.

Killing the Giant Emperor Lizard earlier had already been an exception. Helping the injured was only to prevent Gu Qingluan from getting too tired. As for the battle between the Dingbei Army and the Tianjing Imperial Guards, it was essentially an internal struggle of Chengyuan.

As a prince of the Holy Heaven Dynasty, he was not suitable for interference.

Getting involved would only raise suspicions about his motives.

Seeing no sign of a.s.sistance from Feng Tianlan, Qi Tianyou sighed.

“In that case, both of you should return for now.”

“Although we can’t go to the front lines, we can still help from behind. There shouldn’t be a problem.”

Qi Tianyou looked at her in surprise, “You mean…”

Gu Qingluan walked to the side of the city wall facing the inner city.

Qi Tianyou followed her.

Then they saw a group of carriages and horses approaching from afar.

When they saw the man riding at the front on horseback, Qi Tianyou widened his eyes, “Mr. Liu?”

Indeed, the leader of the group was none other than Liu Meng!

He followed Gu Qingluan’s orders to gather medicinal ingredients from various pharmacies in the city.

Relying solely on the pills she could produce wasn’t enough.

So she had sent Liu Meng to purchase medicinal ingredients.

Of course, these medicinal ingredients weren’t just for healing; they would also be used as weapons against the enemy!

In a situation where they were outnumbered, no matter how quickly the wounded were healed, they couldn’t beat the enemy.

So they could only rely on strategy, not force.

How could they use strategy?

Medicine was the simplest method.

Gu Qingluan explained her plan to Qi Tianyou.

Although Qi Tianyou had long witnessed Gu Qingluan’s abilities, he was still amazed by her idea at this moment.

“Excellent! It’s really amazing!”

“Liu Meng’s manpower is insufficient; we need to send some people to a.s.sist him.”

Qi Tianyou quickly dispatched a team to help Liu Meng. He also asked Liu Meng for a prescription, had it transcribed, and distributed it to several trusted individuals. He instructed them to go to the city and procure the herbs according to the prescription and prepare the concoction for the townsfolk.

Relying solely on the herbs Liu Meng had purchased wouldn’t be enough for the entire city’s population.

When war broke out, many merchants h.o.a.rded goods, and medicines were among them.

Only through the pressure and incentives of the court could they be forced to reveal the medicinal ingredients they had concealed.

In addition to medicines, Liu Meng also brought along large pots.

These pots were set up on the main street inside the city gates.

People were curious about the purpose of these pots.

Soon, water began to heat up, and a peculiar fragrance filled the air.

Those who smelled the aroma felt invigorated.

Qi Tianyou looked at Gu Qingluan in amazement, “This medicine also has a refreshing effect?”

Gu Qingluan smirked. “1 added two types of refreshing herbs to it. It didn’t take much effort.”

From the time the Dingbei Army rebelled to the present, everyone’s spirits had been tense, and fatigue was inevitable.

However, with the battle still ongoing, there was no time for rest and relaxation, so medicine was the only way to boost their spirits.

Qi Tianyou was deeply impressed.

While the idea of using medicine to boost morale was common, everyone had been too preoccupied with the battle to consider it.

Moreover, with so many people present, it would have been challenging to distribute enough medicine to everyone.

Using the scent saved a lot of time and effort.

Liu Meng brought two bowls of the medicine over, “Miss Gu, would you like a bowl?”

Gu Qingluan smiled. “I don’t need it; you all can have it.”

As she said this, she took the bowl that Liu Meng had offered and gave it to Qi Tianyou.

Just as Qi Tianyou was about to accept it, he suddenly felt a piercing gaze. He followed the sensation and met the deep eyes of Feng Tianlan.

What did Royal Prince Lan mean?

The gaze was strangely intimidating. Had he offended him in any way?

Qi Tianyou’s mind raced, and he looked down at the bowl in front of him and then at the person holding it. An unbelievable suspicion popped into his mind—

Could it be that Royal Prince Lan was jealous?
