Chapter 237: Dangers on the Way to Obtain the Miraculous Medicine

Yunxi returned to Changle Palace from the East Palace with a solemn expression and hurried steps. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she couldn't wait to open the bookshelf and began to read the ancient books. She knew that time was running out and every minute and every second could not be wasted.

Yunxi sat at her desk, concentrating on studying those ancient books. She carefully read every line of text, not missing any clues that might be useful. She forgot to eat and sleep, and devoted herself to studying the emperor's illness.

A few days later, Yunxi's eyes were bloodshot, her face was pale, and her body looked very weak. But she still did not give up and continued to work hard to find a way to cure the emperor's illness.

Finally, Yunxi found a record about a miraculous medicine in a yellowed medical book. The book said that this miraculous medicine could cure various difficult and complicated diseases, and even bring people back to life. This gave Yunxi a glimmer of hope, and she was determined to find this miraculous medicine.

However, the herbs needed for this miraculous medicine are extremely rare and grow in remote and mysterious places. Finding these herbs will be a huge challenge, but Yunxi is not intimidated by the difficulties.

She decided to go on a journey of searching for medicine herself, looking for life-saving herbs for the emperor. After asking the emperor for permission, she led several trusted palace maids out of the palace. These maids were all her personal maids who had been specially trained in the Imperial Lady's Mansion and knew some kung fu. They embarked on a journey full of unknowns and dangers.

Along the way, Yunxi and her companions encountered various difficulties and dangers. They crossed dense forests, climbed steep mountains, crossed turbulent rivers, and sometimes encountered ferocious beasts and bad weather.

But Yunxi kept moving forward firmly. She had only one belief in her heart - she must cure the emperor's illness. No matter what difficulties and obstacles she encountered, she would not back down. After a long journey, Yunxi finally came to a remote valley.

According to ancient records, rare medicinal herbs grow here. Yunxi and her friends walked into the valley with hope, but found that there was a strange atmosphere here. The valley was filled with smoke and the vision was blurred, as if it was hiding countless secrets and dangers.

Yunxi and the others moved forward cautiously, taking every step with care. They knew the dangers in the valley, but for the emperor's health, they had to take a risk.

Suddenly, a low roar broke the silence of the valley. Yunxi looked around vigilantly, and saw a huge beast slowly walking out of the smoke. The beast was huge, with sharp fangs, and a fierce light flashing in its eyes.

Yunxi and the maids retreated in fear, trying to find a way to escape. But the beast didn't give them a chance. It quickly pounced on Yunxi and the others, opened its bloody mouth, and revealed its sharp fangs. Yunxi's heartbeat accelerated with nervousness, but she was not intimidated by fear. She quickly drew the sword from her waist and prepared to fight the beast.

The beasts attacked fiercely and violently, and Yunxi and the palace maids fought hard. They used their agility to dodge the beasts' attacks and stabbed the beasts' vital parts with swords from time to time. However, the beasts had thick skin and flesh, and had almost no reaction to ordinary attacks.

During the fierce battle, Yunxi discovered that the beast's weakness was its eyes. So, she aimed at the beast's eyes and stabbed it with her sword. The beast felt pain and roared in pain. Taking this opportunity, Yunxi launched another attack and forced the beast back.

Seeing that it could not easily defeat Yunxi, the beast turned and left. Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that this was only a temporary victory. There might be more dangers and challenges in the valley.

Despite this, she continued to move forward without hesitation, because she believed that as long as she persisted, she would be able to find a miracle medicine to cure the emperor.

Yunxi led the palace maids to continue walking deeper into the valley. Along the way, they were very serious about looking for the traces of the miracle medicine. After passing through a dense forest, they finally saw the miracle medicine.

I saw that the ancient and tall tree was emitting a strange fragrance, and the miraculous medicine was growing on this tree.

Yunxi's face showed excitement and anticipation, and she couldn't wait to pick it. However, when her hand was about to touch the miraculous medicine, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the tree and bounced her away.

Yunxi fell to the ground, her knees scraped and blood gushing out. She looked up in surprise, her eyes fell on the top of the ancient tree, and found a huge python coiled there. The python's body was thicker than a bucket, and its eyes flashed with a fierce light, which made people shudder. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, as if ready to attack at any time.

Yunxi and the palace maids all held their breath and dared not make a sound. They looked at the huge python nervously and did not even dare to move their bodies.

The python slowly climbed down from the tree, with a long tongue sticking out of its mouth, as if it was sniffing something, and then slowly approached Yunxi.

Yunxi held the sword tightly in her hand. She knew that this might be a life-and-death fight and she had to be prepared.

At this moment, a palace maid quietly went behind the python, raised the sword in her hand high, and stabbed the python's tail with all her strength.

The python felt pain and immediately turned its head, opened its bloody mouth and bit the palace maid's arm tightly. With a cry of "Ah!", the palace maid's sword fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yunxi jumped up without hesitation and stabbed the python's eyes with the sword in his hand.

The python was in so much pain that it finally let go of the maid's arms and began to struggle wildly, lashing its tail everywhere and knocking down the surrounding trees.

Yunxi shouted, "Go pick the herbs!"

The other palace maids responded one after another. They took the opportunity when the python escaped, quickly climbed up the tree, and picked the precious medicinal herbs as quickly as possible.

Yunxi squeezed out the blood from the wound of the palace maid who was bitten by the snake, and then bandaged it with herbs. "Zhong Feixue, thank you! Fortunately, you distracted the big snake, otherwise it would be troublesome. No wonder the prince and Xiaowan recommended you to me before, your kung fu is indeed very good." Yunxi said gratefully.

Zhong Feixue endured the pain and said respectfully: "It is my duty to protect Concubine Xi, Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite."

Yunxi said, "When we return to the palace and report to the emperor, he will definitely reward us according to our merits. Now we must leave here as soon as possible and rush back to the palace."

Yunxi took the miraculous medicine, ignored the pain in her body, and led everyone out of the valley. They didn't know how many difficulties were waiting for them ahead, but for the emperor's life, they had to embark on the journey home quickly.
