Chapter 488: On your side
Duan Cheng fell into deep thoughts. There were four seasons in a year. Each season was different from each other. Springtime was good, summertime was also good.
“Okay, let’s look for them today. We must find some good medicinal herbs before we go back. Otherwise, our efforts will end up in vain, alright?”
Bai Zhi looked around and saw a place surrounded by tree branches from afar, which looked very similar to what Hu Feng said.
Bai Zhi pointed her finger in the opposite direction of Duan Cheng, then said: “You look over there, I’ll look around here. Let’s look for herbs separately, so that our chance will be greater.”
Duan Cheng has been studying medicine for many years. Although he had never treated people, he can accurately identify medicinal herbs. He always went up the mountain to collect herbs with his master. And so, he hastily responded: “Alright, let’s make a bet and see who takes more herbs.”
To send him away early, Bai Zhi naturally agreed: “Okay, let’s make a bet. If you win, what do you want?”
Duan Cheng thought for a while, then suddenly said with a smile: “I heard that the vegetable porridge you made is particularly delicious. If I win, can you make me a vegetable porridge?”
That was too simple, so Bai Zhi said with a smile: “Not only I will make you a porridge, but I will also make you other delicious foods. But that is if you win me.”
Duan Cheng laughed: “Alright. Looking at you, you’re quite confident. Let’s have a good competition today.”
After saying those words, Duan Cheng took the basket and walked towards the direction Bai Zhi had pointed earlier. When he went away, Bai Zhi walked towards the cave.

When the branches at the cave were removed, she took a few steps forward and entered the cave, but someone caught her and put a cold dagger across her neck.
“Who are you?”
Bai Zhi’s heart trembled and so she busily said, “I am on your side, I am on your side!”
Fu Zheng was lying on the pile of dead leaves in the cave, while Zhou Gang was grabbing the little boy in front of him. He looked very fierce and vicious: “Who sent you? Tell me quickly!”
Bai Zhi took a glance at the man lying on the dead leaves. Seeing that although he was thin-skinned, but has a young face, he couldn’t be Zhou Xiaofeng’s father.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “You must be Zhou Gang. Xiaofeng lives in my house now. He is perfectly fine.”
Zhou Gang was so shocked that he almost put down his dagger, but then said: “Don’t talk nonsense to me, quickly say it, who are you?”
“I am Bai Zhi. Hu Feng told me you are here. The fake death medicine you took is made by me.”
He heard that name Bai Zhi before. Prince Jin had mentioned that name more than once. When he spoke about her, Prince Jin has always had this happy expression on the face, and there was tenderness in his eyes.
Zhou Gang hurriedly put down the dagger and took a big step backward. He cupped his fists towards Bai Zhi and said: “Miss Bai, I was rude.”
Bai Zhi smiled and waved her hand: “It’s alright, it’s only natural to be careful. It’s great that you wake up, but what’s wrong?”
Zhou Gang busily said: “I’m fine, but Fu Zheng is seriously injured.”
Bai Zhi rushed forward.
Fu Zheng sat and saluted her: “Miss Bai, it’s nice to meet you.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head, stretched out her hand and grabbed his wrist to check his pulse. Then, she carefully observed him.
“You can’t dispel the fake death pill because you are suffering internal injuries. Although this medicine can save a life, it is a toxin. Otherwise, it won’t let you die after taking it after an hour. If normal people take it, the toxin will slowly decompose and self-dissolve. But if someone with internal injuries takes it, the toxin will accumulate in the body. If the toxin is not excreted in the body within 7 days, that person will die.”
