His aura was so strong that it was everywhere. Su Qing felt like she was surrounded. At this moment, she didn’t think about anything else. She wrapped her arms around Xiao Zeyu’s neck and immersed herself in this happiness.

The two of them soaked in the pool, surrounded by fresh flowers. Amid the fragrance of flowers and the steaming heat, they were delighted….

The following day, Su Qing took Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan into the mountains to pick herbs. The reason she didn’t take Xiao Lanxin was because her wedding was imminent. Before that, she had to learn the rules of the palace. Although she didn’t need to learn, as Yelu Chun said, Xiao Lanxin represented the image of the Great Tang, so she had to learn.

Fortunately, Xiao Lanxin was willing to learn these rules for Yelu Chun. She didn’t have the ability of her sister-in-law to break those rules, so she had to adapt.

Jiang Yuyan was as happy as a child to come out and walk around the forest with Zhong Yong.

Zhong Yong looked at her with a smile. Neither of them was serious about picking herbs. The herbs were all under their feet, and they didn’t see them. Su Qing shook her head. She regretted bringing them out. She might as well pick herbs herself. If she wanted to level up quickly, it would be best to use precious herbs such as lingzhi and ginseng.

However, all of this depended on luck. Those who were not fated would not be able to see it.

However, Su Qing had Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi was fated to be with medicine.

Master, there’s a thousand-year-old ginseng at seven o’clock.”

Xiao Qi dutifully helped her master find ginseng in front of the screen. After finding it, she excitedly reported to her master.

Su Qing glanced at Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan. Jiang Yuyan found a beautiful butterfly, so Zhong Yong helped her catch it. He was focused on the butterfly. Su Qing didn’t call them. She went to pick the ginseng herself.

Four personal guards followed closely behind the Empress. Two of these four people had followed Su Qing to farm, and now they were here to pick herbs with her.

Su Qing walked to a dense patch of grass. Searching for ginseng in the grass was like searching for pearls in the eyes of a fish. It was not easy.

Fortunately, with Xiao Qi’s constant command, Su Qing quickly found the ginseng. There was a bright-colored poisonous snake beside the ginseng. When it saw someone coming, it stood up threateningly and stuck out its tongue at Su Qing and the four guards, making a hissing sound.

“Empress, be careful.”

The guard hurriedly protected Su Qing behind him. The moment he moved, the poisonous snake thought that he was going to attack it. It flew up and spat out a mouthful of poison at his eyes.

Su Qing kicked the guard away, grabbed the snake’s tail, and swung it. The snake lost its ability to attack.

Su Qing threw the poisonous snake at Xiao Qi. Snakes were also medicinal, especially this poisonous snake. Su Qing’s herb-picking skill had increased a little.

“Thank you for saving my life, Empress.”

The guard, Su Qing, kicked away and crawled up from the ground in a sorry state. The first thing he did was kneel and thank Su Qing for saving his life.

Su Qing’s expression was cold. She didn’t even look at him. She took out a red rope and tied it to the ginseng.

“I’ll dig.”

Guard Little Ding grew up in the mountains and had some experience in digging for ginseng. It was tough for the Empress to squat on the ground to dig for ginseng with her big belly, so he volunteered to help.

“Be careful, don’t break the whiskers.”

Su Qing reminded him that her belly was big, and she felt suffocated after squatting for a while.

She stood up and looked around. She saw herbs like Fangfeng and Tianqi. No one usually came to this mountain, so herbs were everywhere.

She gave the other three guards a mission:

“Pick all these herbs.”

She found a tree shade and sat down, using a branch to draw a model of the warship on the ground.

Zhong Yong helped Jiang Yuyan catch the butterfly, but when he turned around, he couldn’t find Su Qing and the four guards. The two of them were very anxious and quickly looked around.

Zhong Yong heard a sound from the bushes and told Jiang Yuyan not to go over. He walked over to check.

A white silver snake suddenly flew out of the forest. Zhong Yong raised his hand to hit the snake away, but he did not expect that the snake was very agile. It dodged his attack and bit his wrist.

“Little bastard.”

Zhong Yong cursed. He grabbed the silver snake’s tail and wanted to shake it to pieces. Suddenly, five men in black jumped out of the forest and stabbed him with the Snake Sword.

In desperation, Jiang Yuyan shouted for Zhong Yong to be careful as she raised her wrist and shot a sleeve arrow.

su Qing was resting under the shade of a tree when she heard Jiang Yuyan’s voice. She stood up and ran into the forest without calling for any guards.

The silver snake’s poison was potent. After Zhong Yong was bitten, his entire body went numb. An illusion appeared in front of his eyes. His two hands grabbed wildly in the air, ultimately losing his combat strength.

Jiang Yuyan shot out three sleeve arrows in a row. The men in black dodged the arrows like ghosts, and none of them hit their mark.

There were only three sleeve arrows, and if they didn’t hit the enemy, they would be gone. Jiang Yuyan had gone all out to save Zhong Yong. When she ran out of sleeve arrows, she picked up a tree branch on the ground and fought with the men in black.

The man in black attacked her and Zhong Yong. Just as the Snake Blade was about to pierce Jiang Yuyan’s chest, a white shadow flew down from the sky and bit the man in black’s wrist.

Su Qing saw that Xiao Qi had saved Jiang Yuyan, so she ignored her and went to save Zhong Yong. Fortunately, although Zhong Yong was poisoned, he was strong. The men in black didn’t have the chance to get close to him, but they still stabbed him in the shoulder. In a while, Zhong Yong would have died.

When they saw Su Qing, only one of the men in black remained to deal with Zhong Yong. The rest surrounded Su Qing tightly and stabbed at her with the Snake Sword.

The four guards arrived just in time to fight with the men in black. However, the martial arts of these men in black were too strange. The sword was about to stab the man in black, but he suddenly disappeared. When the guards were looking for him, he appeared from behind and ambushed them. Su Qing recognized that this was a hidden technique. These should be Japanese.

She pulled out her flexible sword and ordered the guards to retreat quickly. The men in black took the opportunity to surround her again and released the silver snake. They wanted to use the dark methods they used to deal with Zhong Yong to deal with Su Qing.

Su Qing cut the silver snake in half with a single strike and used her God of War ability to injure a few men in black.

Su Qing wanted to keep them alive and did not kill them. Otherwise, the men in black would have been beheaded by now.

The four guards tied the men in black with cow tendon ropes. Xiao Qi ran to pick up the little silver snake as if she had found a treasure,

“Silver Snake, a treasure that is rarely seen in a thousand years.”

When Xiao Qi finished speaking, Su Qing saw that the herb picking had leveled up. In an instant, it had risen from level six to level seven.

“Congratulations to the host for leveling up. Herbalism has risen to level 7. Physique, spiritual power, combat power, and war god ability have risen to level 81.”

The system’s voice rang out immediately. It did not leave after reporting the good news, waiting for the host to ask for the reward.

“Yes, give me a blueprint of the warship and its manufacturing method.” Su Qing had been waiting for this moment. She directly asked for the blueprint and the production method.

“Alright!”

Su Qing thought that the system would bargain with her again, but she did not expect it to agree so readily this time. This surprised Su Qing, and she could not help but ask the system.

“Why are you so obedient this time?”
