Nalan Cui had no idea what this was.

Su Yan explained in a low voice, “It’s the plants placed in the middle of the Imperial Garden. Only one orchid with seeds was found in the entire imperial palace. It’s already here.”

As she spoke, she pointed at the withered blue bouquet on the stone platform. Everyone could imagine its look with great difficulty.

Nalan Cui furrowed his brows deeply.

Old Ma misunderstood and hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, back then, when I stole the plant… Bah, when I picked the plant, Princess Consort Guang Pingwang was by my side. I got her permission.”

Su Yan sighed and said, “Don’t worry. Your Majesty won’t blame you for this.”

Nalan Cui did not care how the flower came about. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Are you sure that you can’t find the seed you want from the orchids in the Imperial Garden?”

Only Old Ma knew the answer to this question.

He replied, “I’m not sure either. Last time, it was in the dark. I am timid and was scared by Princess Consort, so I didn’t see it clearly.”

Not only was his reply made people speechless, but he was also timid.

Nalan Cui pondered for a moment and said, “I will give you this right. You bring a few people to the Imperial Garden to have a look. I will also order people to search the entire country.”

Old Ma nodded in agreement.

After the matter was over, Su Yan did not follow Nalan Cui. Instead, she followed Old Ma to the Imperial Garden.

The flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden were very pleasing to the eye, but the bald patch in the middle was very eye-catching.

Old Ma did not blush at his great achievements. He entered the bushes as soon as he arrived. He held a small shovel in his hand and skillfully dug the soil. He was afraid that he would hurt these flower seeds, so Old Ma still collected the seeds personally.

Su Yan squatted beside him and said with a twitch of her lips, “Don’t tell me you often steal herbs.”

His actions were too skillful.

Old Ma paused and said with disdain, “Why did Princess Consort come to this place?” 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Su Yan glared and said, “Why didn’t you say that when you needed me just now?”

Old Ma mumbled so hard that she could not hear clearly, but she knew that it was not good.

Su Yan did not argue with him. Seeing that he was digging, she ran to the other side to look at the flowers.

Old Ma dug for a long time before he found a plant with seeds on it. There were only two seeds on the root. This amount was far from enough. He sighed. It seemed that he could only rely on the emperor to find it.

Su Yan saw that he had stopped and said, “What’s wrong? Can’t you find it?”

Old Ma shook his head with a solemn expression and said, “I don’t know how many people will lose their lives because of this delay.”

This worried look was very different from his usual appearance. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

Old Ma sighed and regained his cheeky smile. He said, “Princess Consort, when you go back, you should tell His Majesty that this important task is in his hands.”

“What are you doing!” A sharp voice suddenly sounded.

When the two turned around, they saw a eunuch with a pale face holding a horsetail whisk and a group of guards behind him was rushing over.

They moved in an aggressive manner. Old Ma immediately hid behind Su Yan. He stuck his head out and said, “Aiya, I still have to rely on Princess Consort Guang Pingwang.”

Su Yan was silent. She looked at the person who came and said, “We are here under the orders of the emperor to get the medicine.”

The eunuch snorted coldly and said, “I am here under the orders of the emperor to guard the Imperial Garden. You Little Thieves, you dared to steal flowers before. And, you still dare to commit a crime in broad daylight this time.”

Old Ma hid far away, but he did not forget to utter his vicious words. He said, “This is Princess Consort Guang Pingwang. Do you dare to make a move?”

The eunuch’s expression darkened. He said, “Who knows if it’s true or not? Take him down for me.”

Su Yan frowned. This old eunuch clearly recognized her identity, but he pretended not to know. It seemed that he was here for her this time..
