Chapter 22

Last night, it rained all night, causing Ji Jiu to sleep comfortably. She still didn't know that the Gao family was plotting evil against her right now. Ji Jiu was only thinking about how to make the cover for her box. If she finished selling herbs today, she would try finding a blacksmith and asking about the price first. If it's too expensive, you might just have to cut a groove to make a simple cover and buy a chain and lock. In this era, I don't know if anyone invented the hinge or not. She really has a headache.

 After completing the daily routine. Basket pendant with money in the bag She closed the house and immediately went to the district. Today she wore a newly bought dress that made her look much better than usual. Until her mood improved from the problem with her treasure box.

 Ji Jiu arrived at the same drugstore very late. She hurriedly informed Xiao Guo that she had come to sell herbs to stop bleeding as usual. Xiao Guo asked her to wait in the same room, then hurried to inform Boss Yuan and wait for further orders.

 Boss Yuan arrived and inspected the herbs and found that the quality was still as good as before. He gave the same price and had Xiao Guo take the basket and weigh it. Today, her herbs still weigh the same as before, 80. The boss paid her 800 baht for the herb, then Liap Kiang asked her about the red reishi mushroom.

 Ji Jiu said that she had not found any more yet. The boss was saddened. He told her that there was a huge demand in the capital for nourishing the body and compounding detoxifying pills. Plus, the person who wants it right now is giving a price of more than 2. As far as the boss buying from Ji Jiu.

"You don't know anything, little one. The person who bought this time had a very large position in the capital. He had been secretly poisoned by an enemy a few days ago. But it lacks the antidote ingredient, only red reishi mushrooms. Last time, I sent it to the capital, but the royal doctor took it away first. Sigh, I really feel sorry for that person when I think about it."

"The old man spoke as if he knew the person who wanted this mushroom very well. If I find it again, I promise I will bring it to you immediately." Ji Jiu himself replied in a divided manner. But I also want to talk about the villagers. Who wouldn't want to know? Since she came here, she didn't know a thing. What's the name of the country? Who is the Emperor? I don't know what era it is now. If she could get some news to decorate her brain, she would want to know as well.

"You don't know anything. The whole region knew this person. Prince of the Southern Border Army He is the emperor's real younger brother. He has been protecting the border since he was 10 years old until he is now 18 years old. And he hasn't gotten married yet. If not because the mushrooms were previously used to make medicine. His Majesty would have sent it to his younger brother in a hurry. Sigh, heaven really hurts a good person if His Highness didn't get the antidote within 7 days. The day after this Our region must be in trouble. Right now the border is not at peace. The person who poisoned the Prince also committed suicide after completing his mission. Makes it impossible to hold someone's hand and smell it."

"Um, if you get mushrooms, how many days will it take to get them to the doctor?" Ji Jiu thought about the distance and difficult travel in this era and hurriedly asked the question first.

"If you get it today Another two days and the doctor was sent to the border. Didn't you know that this place is not far from the border? But if sent to the capital, it would take 5 days. Please hurry up with the horse."

"Oh, I've never left the village, so I don't know." Ji Jiu hurriedly told the boss. She was thinking about whether or not to use her treasure to help a good person. She didn't want to get in trouble later if someone found out about this. After thinking for a while, she consulted the boss instead.

"Master, what if I have another mushroom the same size as last time? Can you secretly come pick me up at my house? I'm afraid that someone will find out about this and come attack me. I am an orphan. No one to protect If a criminal targets me I probably won't survive."

 Ji Jiu hurriedly shared her concerns with the boss. When the boss heard that there was an opportunity to help the Prince, he was very happy.

"Little girl, you don't have to worry. I will send news to the Prince's secret bodyguard to come pick you up at your house. At this time, the bodyguard has not yet left the district. He knew that my shop had just purchased mushrooms so he came to inquire at me first. You wait for me here first."

"Yes, boss. I can wait for you."

 The boss hurried out and told Xiao Guo to bring tea and snacks for Ji Jiu while he waited. He immediately ran to the inn where the guard had informed him this morning.

 Ji Jiu sits and drinks tea, eats snacks and thinks. She wasn't sure if she had made the right decision. But after all, helping people brings more merit than building a ten-story pagoda. Well, whatever happens, let it happen. After all, she had died before. If this time she made the wrong decision and caused problems for herself, she would accept it.
