Grand general, why do you kneel down? Zhang Tai Yi doesn't dare to accept his gift, but Pei Yuan Yuan can't afford it. He asks him to save mingniang's life.

Everyone looked at each other. Only Dr. Zhang, who had rich experience, knew that there must be something hidden in the general's words

Pei Changyuan frowned and burst into tears. He took a long time to say, "mother Ming, my dead wife That's what killed her

Dr. Zhang immediately took a breath, and Xue tingji's ears were buzzing. He couldn't hear his father-in-law's words clearly.

More than ten years of heartache was dug out. Pei could not bear to grieve. When he shook his head, tears ran through his rough and dry face.

"My dead wife had heart disease when she was the same age, but it was not serious until she was pregnant with mingniang. She was suddenly weak, so she was born one year after childbirth..."

Xue tingji is the most frightened by this. Fortunately, he and a Ming are not married yet. Otherwise, if she is really pregnant, how can she be.

Rubbing his cool arm, he first lifted his father-in-law, and then whispered the truth to reassure him. In addition, Dr. Zhang also said that the empress's illness is not so serious at least for now, so the general doesn't have to be so nervous.

"If it's a hidden disease caused by the mother's birth, it's not easy to cure it, but it may be so serious from generation to generation. I will take good care of my mother."

With his words, Pei Changyuan was relieved. He repeatedly asked the Doctor Zhang to do his best, and then let Xue tingji stay here. He took general Chang to kill the ghosts and insects of laoshizi.

As the day goes on and on, Xue Ting sighs at the setting sun, hoping that Ah Ming will not follow her mother's path.

Before long, the north wind gradually howled, and it snowed heavily in the second watch. I tried to get in through the crack of the door to reduce the warmth of the room.

He closed the doors and windows tightly for fear that the burning of charcoal would be too stuffy. He opened some cracks for fear that the wind and snow would blow on her. So Xue tingji had to put on a thicker bed curtain and add a soft bed and quilt.

Pei Ming, who has drunk tranquilizer, sleeps soundly and is not awakened by his actions. In the past, she used to curl up when she was sleeping, and her eyebrows were full of uneasiness. Later, she got better, and she could sleep safely in Xue tingji's arms. Now she is back to the original way, which makes Xue tingji feel guilty.

In order to take care of her, he will not close his eyes tonight for fear that Pei Ming will feel a little uncomfortable at night.

But Rao was so careful that Pei Ming still had symptoms after midnight.

No matter how much other people take care of her, she can't control her dream. The images of insects in the bucket and Xue tingji's vicious face repeatedly make her struggle in half dream and half wake.

She vaguely heard Xue tingji calling her, but she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. The pain in her heart made her gasp, as if she was going to die the next moment.

"Ah Ming! Ah Ming, wake up Xue Ting was flustered and called for Doctor Zhang to come. For the convenience of rescue, Doctor Zhang stayed in the next room. Hearing the news, he was shocked.

"No, she still didn't resist. Her heart was too weak. She had to use medicine to hold her breath."

But the problem is that there is no medicine that can be used at the moment, and we can't wait for it to come from the Imperial City, so we have to use local materials.

After thinking hard for a long time, Dr. Zhang finally brightened his eyes. "There is a medicine called Cistanche in Beidi. If you can find it, it will benefit her greatly."

However, almost the whole plant of this precious medicine is not in the sand, so it is very difficult to find it.

It's very similar to looking for medicine for the Feng family at that time. Now it's on Pei Ming's head. Xue Ting has no time to even feel heartache, so he immediately calls up his hands and goes out to look for it now.

Of course, the soldiers didn't complain, but they didn't see the Cistanche. Based on the description of Doctor Zhang, they couldn't figure out what it was like.

At this time, a man came forward. It was Lu Yu who had been looked down upon by Xue Ting before. He had dug this thing when he was young and knew how to find it.

Now is not the time to be willful. Xue tingji doesn't care about running on him. As long as he can find a Ming's life-saving medicine, he can make any apology.

Without further delay, Lu Yu leads the people out of the pass at night. However, it snows heavily in the vast wilderness. It's not easy to think of finding a herb with arm size in the sand.

Xue tingji himself will never be idle. The cause of a Ming's illness comes from him. He can only find some medicine to forgive him.

But Dr. Zhang didn't want him to be in the limelight, "Your Highness, your legs are not suitable for such activities, or..."

"Do I have to watch her suffer?" While Dr. Zhang is talking, Xue tingji has changed his clothes. Even if the leg is broken again, he can't let a Ming have something to do.

Although mingniang is important, he can't ignore his highness. Pei Changyuan has sent a lot of soldiers to protect him.

But as soon as he got out of the camp, Xue tingji drove them away, "what's the use of you guarding me? Look for medicine! It's all scattered. Don't waste your hands around here. "

This is the darkest time of the day. We can only search the ground inch by inch by the torch, dig away the snow, and look for a kind of salt wood which is not amazing. Cistanche is parasitic below.But there may not be a Cistanche under a hundred salt trees

Since the third shift, all of them have been digging three feet under the wind and snow to find the dawn and the daybreak. They have covered the ground for twenty miles, and all of them are too cold to stand up straight, but they have no harvest.

Exhausted looking up at the rising sun, Xue tingji's hand was shaking. He was afraid that someone would rush to tell him that it was too late.

Several hours have passed. Can a Ming hold on? Where is Cistanche? How can he find it?!

In his anxiety, he was even more irritable. He roared and let out his anger. He pulled out all the poor plants around him, and on the contrary, he was scratched by the rough thorns.

"Ah --" he threw the dead branch out of his hand with all his strength, and fell to the ground in embarrassment. The sand in his palm was embedded in the wound, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

Just as he was in despair, the sun just brightened a steep slope in front of him. It was very steep, but there were huge clumps of salt trees on it.

At the bottom of the salt wood, there is a jade umbrella.

This is likely to be Cistanche. Xue Ting grinned and frowned when he got up. After tossing about for half a night, he could no longer carry his leg.

Gritting his teeth and dragging his steps forward, he made another difficulty. This steep slope was a big problem for him, but he sent all the taxi drivers around him, and there was no one who could help.

A Ming is still waiting for him, so he can't waste any time. Finally Xue Ting climbs up the sand dune step by step by gritting his teeth.

Finally, he grasped the branches of the salt tree. He was so confident that he tried to get rid of the sand with his other hand. But no matter how much he pushed, there was sand sliding down from the upper layer. Not only that, but also his feet began to loosen.

Anyway, he has been in Beidi for so long. He heard from general Tan that what he was most afraid of was quicksand, especially those with dark pits below.

And he's dying when he meets
