Chapter 1097: Nan Xian's Whereabouts IV
Luckily, Haitian Kingdom did not know that Tianyue Kingdom had changed its dynasty. She needed to use Tianyue Kingdom's name if she wanted to enter this kingdom.
The imperial guards were somewhat suspicious. "You said that His Majesty of Tianyue Kingdom has sent you, do you have any proof?"
'Proof?'
Feng Ruqing thought for a moment.
What about the thing that she had given to Qing Han to break the walnuts, could it be considered as proof?
Feng Ruqing took out a jade seal from the medium and handed it to the imperial guard.
"This was given to me by the emperor of Tianyue Kingdom for safekeeping, does this... count as proof?"
The imperial guards were speechless.
'Have you ever seen an emperor give a jade seal to someone else for safekeeping?
'Have you ever seen someone simply taking out a jade seal and showing it to people?
'Is she not afraid of being robbed?
'Or is this a fake jade seal?'
"How can you prove that the jade seal is real?" The guard continued asking.
Feng Ruqing raised an eyebrow. "You don't believe me? Then you can take it for a test."
Since she had used it to break the walnuts, it would not bother her if somebody destroyed it.
The imperial guards were silent for a moment. "Even if it's true, the emperor has issued an order that we cannot allow any outsider to enter Haitian Kingdom. So please go back."
"Oh, alright. Actually, my emperor has asked me to send the spirit herbs to your emperor as a gift. But if you are not interested in this, then forget it. Goodbye."
Besides, she had taken the spirit herbs from Tianyue Kingdom's national treasury, and it was just a common type of spirit herbs, so she did not really care about it.
But, of course, it was not the case for other people.
Haitian Kingdom was just an island!
This kingdom had too many people living on too little land, not to mention the spirit herbs mountains.
The spirit herbs were too rare to be found here, and no kingdom would allow the outflow of such uncommon spirit herbs.
Moreover, Haitian Kingdom did not engage with any outsiders. Hence, it was even more difficult to purchase a large number of spirit herbs from other kingdoms.
Now, someone had sent the spirit herbs to them and the imperial guards did not dare to stop Feng Ruqing again.
When he saw that Feng Ruqing was about to leave, he became more anxious and hastily shouted out to her, "Miss, wait a minute. Please allow me to inform the general first."
The people of Haitian Kingdom were extremely talented, but they could not catch up with the masters in other kingdoms because of the lack of spirit herbs.
If they had enough spirit herbs...
Maybe Haitian Kingdom could be stronger than it was now!
The imperial guard would be blamed if his action had caused Haitian Kingdom to lose such a chance of gaining this amount of spirit herbs.
The two imperial guards glanced at each other and one of them hurriedly left the city gates and ran toward the city.
Feng Ruqing was leaning lazily against a tree trunk with her sinister and cunning smile.
"Princess, I don't understand, why are you giving these spirit herbs to them?" Qing Zhu stretched its small head out and asked softly in a deep voice.
Feng Ruqing lifted her hand and knocked on Qing Zhu's head. "You said that the state preceptor is still unconscious, so we can't be too harsh with them. What if those people find out about this and threaten me with the state preceptor?"
In short, she had to sneak into Haitian Kingdom and find the state preceptor first.
If they hurt the state preceptor even a little bit...
Feng Ruqing's eyes narrowed again, but now her eyes were filled with murderous intent and her hand was almost choking Qing Zhu to death.
Qing Zhu's eyes were bulging out of its head. After Feng Ruqing had loosened her hand, it cleared its throat and said, "Princess, next time when you're angry... can you please let me go first? Don't you forget that I'm still in your hands."
It felt like Feng Ruqing had always endangered it.
Perhaps one day, it might die at Feng Ruqing's hands.
