Xie Jingxing’s condition was getting worse and worse. There were only six days left. Apart from praying that Gao Yang could produce the antidote, was there really no other way?

Just as she was thinking, Luo Tan ran in from outside. As soon as she entered, she asked Shen Miao straight away, “Cousin, do you still have the compass I gave you on your wedding day? If you do, can I borrow it?”

Shen Miao looked at her suspiciously. “Why do you want that?”

Luo Tan avoided her gaze and said, “I just feel bored and wanted to play with it.”

At this time, no matter how reckless Luo Tan was, she would not be in the mood to play. Shen Miao said, “You don’t have to lie to me. Tell me, what exactly do you want it for?” After a pause, she continued, “If you don’t tell me the truth, you don’t have to think about getting it.”

Luo Tan was angry and anxious. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind to tell Shen Miao everything.

After explaining, Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao and said, “I want to find that expert. Since he can change the fate of someone, he might be able to change Brother-in-law’s fate too. Now, there’s no other way. It’s better to find someone than no one.”

Shen Miao thought for a moment and shook her head. “Gao Yang has already been there once. As a doctor, he must have wanted to figure out what was going on more than you back then. Since Gao Yang can’t find that place, how can you?”

Luo Tan said, “Cousin Miao, if I’m not confident, I won’t have come to waste your time at this juncture. I once heard from Grandpa that when he was young, he saw a kind of strange formation. Outside the formation, every grass and tree look normal, but once you enter, you will subconsciously be led astray and never be able to find yourself out. In the early years, people thought that this was a demonic technique.”

Shen Miao frowned. “Strange formation?”

Luo Tan nodded. “Grandpa said that he saw it once when he was young. Later, this formation gradually disappeared. I think since that expert has the ability to change people’s fate, he might know this strange formation.”

“Do you want to say that the reason Gao Yang couldn’t find the house that the expert lived in was because the expert set up the formation to confuse him?” Shen Miao asked.

Luo Tan was a little discouraged by Shen Miao’s questioning tone and said, “In the end, you just don’t believe me. You don’t believe that anyone else can save Brother-in-law, right?”

“I believe you,” Shen Miao said.

Luo Tan was stunned.

Shen Miao asked her, “Human eyes can be affected by the illusion created by the formation, but the compass won’t. It will continue to point south.”

Luo Tan said, “Exactly! I just thought of it. With the compass, we won’t be led astray in the formation. However,” She looked at Shen Miao and asked in disbelief, “Cousin Miao, are you really willing to believe me and let me go find that expert?”

“I believe in you.” Shen Miao said, “We can’t sit back and do nothing. It’s better to do something than nothing. No matter what the outcome is, we have to give it a try.” She said, “I’ll go with you.”

Luo Tan opened her mouth in shock. “Go with me?”

“If there’s really an expert in the world, there must be a reason why that expert hid his whereabouts. How can you convince him alone? Since it is my husband who needs help, I naturally have to do the talking myself.”

Luo Tan felt as if this was the first time she had met Shen Miao. All along, Shen Miao had been rational, calm, and took an analytical approach to everything. She thought that she would never see Shen Miao taking a risk and believing in the impossible, but this time, Shen Miao did it.

Was it because of Prince Rui?

Shen Miao stood up. A moment later, her expression changed, and she was as firm as if this had been her plan from the beginning. She said, “Let’s go get the compass.” She then called Mo Qing and Cong Yang over and said, “You two, go with me to Phoenix Head Village. Tie Yi, take good care of Xie Jingxing and wait for me to come back. If the emperor blames you, I’ll bear the responsibility.”

With that, she took her cloak and left. “Prepare the carriage!”

Her tone carried great authority and dignity, making people subconsciously want to submit to her.
