Chapter 103 Jiang Yuyan pays out of her own pocket

When Jiang Yuyan heard that four people from the Youyun Guard had died, she was deeply saddened. She had never thought that these people would be so loyal to her orders. This was probably the chivalrous spirit of the ancients who were willing to die for their friends.

Jiang Yuyan ordered them to be buried with honor and wrote the inscriptions herself. After a few cups of wine, the Youyun Guards also had tears in their eyes.

Looking at the beautiful but heartbroken woman, they knew they had followed the right person, and their master was worthy of their vows of following until death!

Over there, Shen Yi was doing his best to treat the Second Prince and Cang Yi. Fortunately, Cang Yi's heart meridian was protected at that time, leaving him with a glimmer of hope. Shen Yi used the Tianshu Dafa to heal him, and he spent a lot of internal energy to finally save his life. However, Cang Yi's internal energy was completely lost, and his martial arts skills were also useless.

The superficial injuries on Xie Yuan's body were not a big deal. He had already used the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills from Lingshu Valley to dispel most of the toxicity of the Heartbreak Grass. However, he still needed the Blood Ganoderma to completely remove the remaining poison.

Nie Wuyou touched his nose and wanted to hide himself.

Shen Yi stared at him, "I remember there is one in Tianji Pavilion?"

"Don't try to take advantage of me. My father is in charge of the Blood Ganoderma." Nie Wuyou said, "You haven't paid for my Heart Protection Pill yet!"

"Name your price!" Jiang Yuyan happened to walk in. "No matter how much, I'll give you your blood ganoderma!"

Nie Wuyou looked at the increasingly beautiful woman in front of him and said with a smile: "That blood ganoderma is what my father gave me as a betrothal gift. If you want it, marry me!"

Chen Yi snorted coldly, "You wish! I will go see the old Pavilion Master in person!"

"No, Brother Shen, everything can be discussed~" Nie Wuyou was helpless. If this man asked, his father might really give it to him. Then his wife would be ruined.

"Lan'er, look, I found someone for you, you should owe me a favor, so why don't you marry me?"

“…”

Jiang Yuyan admitted that it was indeed his contribution that Cang Yi was able to save his life, but she had never thought of him in that way. Besides, she had not forgotten how Nie Wuyou had frightened her.

"I can't marry you, how about I marry you?" She was sure that Nie Wuyou was so proud that he would definitely not agree.

As expected, Nie Wuyou's expression suddenly changed. He felt wronged to share a wife with someone else, and he absolutely could not serve the husband. Suddenly feeling bored, Nie Wuyou said in a low voice: "I can give you the blood ganoderma, the price is 10 million taels!"

"You are robbing me!" Jiang Yuyan's eyes widened.

Nie Wuyou folded his arms and chuckled, "It depends on whether you think it's worth it. My Tianji Pavilion has a clear price and I won't cheat anyone~"

Jiang Yuyan thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay! I'll pay you with the banknote!"

At the time, Xie Jingyu and Qin Shangyu's betrothal gifts contained a lot of gold and silver, and Shen Yi also gave her a huge amount of silver notes.

Nie Wuyou was speechless, "Xiao Lan'er, are you so rich? You are so happy!"

Jiang Yuyan raised her eyebrows, "Of course."

"Oh, what a mistake. I should have asked for more." Nie Wuyou looked regretful.

Jiang Yuyan kicked him and said, "Go back and get the Ganoderma!"

With the two of them interrupting, the depressing atmosphere dissipated and the situation became relaxed for a moment.

After seeing Nie Wuyou off, Jiang Yuyan glanced at the unconscious Cang Yi and couldn't help feeling worried.

"Can his martial arts be restored?" Jiang Yuyan asked worriedly.

For a martial artist to lose his martial arts skills one day, it would probably be more difficult to accept than for her to be disfigured.

Shen Yi cut his wrist and fed Cang Yi some blood, saying: "My blood can repair his heart. But if he starts martial arts from scratch, I'm afraid he won't be able to reach his previous level in several years."

At this moment, Xiao Yuanyan spoke up, "His previous martial arts were internal skills, and his skills were powerful. Now I can teach him the Feihua Sword Technique. With his comprehension, he may be able to reach the top again."

Jiang Yuyan felt a little relieved.

After they left, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes slightly warm, his heart surging...

…………

The next day, Jiang Yuyan sneaked into the palace without alerting anyone and reported Xie Yuan's assassination to Empress Hua.

Empress Hua was in tears, but she had just emptied her private treasury for the poor boy, and now she had nothing to exchange for the blood Ganoderma lucidum. She had to hesitantly ask Jiang Yuyan to help her again.

“.……….” Although Jiang Yuyan had already planned to pay for it out of her own pocket, she was still heartbroken to the point of vomiting blood.

"The saint is a man of great talent, and has saved my son's life several times. If my son succeeds in the future, I will make him confer upon you the title of First-Rank Lady Protector of the Nation." Queen Hua held her wrist and made big promises affectionately.

Jiang Yuyan sighed inwardly and forced a smile.

The process of training a crown prince is not only brain-intensive, but also costly!

"Wanwan, don't feel bad. Jiang's soap business is in the hands of second brother. Second brother has a lot of money, but part of it is hidden in Liuyun Manor, and the rest is in the bank. You need his identity jade card to get it."

Qin Shangyu sneaked back to Jiang's house at night. Looking at Jiang Yuyan who looked heartbroken, he comforted her repeatedly.

Jiang Yuyan's eyes suddenly became blazing. "How much money is a lot?"

Qin Shangyu smiled slightly and said, "Our Jiang family should be better than the Ji family back then."

"Wow, Jingyu is so capable! He's doing so well!" Jiang Yuyan's eyes sparkled with excitement, "I'm a rich woman now!"

"What is a rich woman?" Qin Shangyu was puzzled, "You are still so young~"

"Ahem, it means a rich lady... In my dialect, the word 'po' means madam." Jiang Yuyan explained perfunctorily. Her eyes were sparkling, "I will write a letter immediately to ask Jing Yu to return to Beijing! To hug the golden thigh of the richest man!"

Qin Shangyu covered his lips and laughed silently.

Three days later, Nie Wuyou arrived as promised, and Shen Yi successfully removed the remaining poison from Xie Yuan.

"You hide now. When His Majesty finds out that the Xiaolong Guards have been annihilated, he will definitely look for you. We will create some momentum outside and say that the second prince was assassinated and his whereabouts are unknown. You have done such a good job in flood control, and your reputation is good. There will definitely be people in the court who will feel sorry for you.

Emperors are suspicious, and Your Majesty will inevitably be suspicious of other adult princes. After some time, you can pretend to be rescued by someone and return to the palace…”

Jiang Yuyan made arrangements in a rambling manner. "I must be miserable by then, and cry a little, maybe it can arouse the conscience of His Majesty as a kind father."

Xie Yuan looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but smile as if the breeze was gentle and the bright moon was in his arms.

He bowed to Jiang Yuyan like a prince and said, "Thank you for your many rescues, and thank you for your planning for me. If I can succeed in the future, I will personally present wealth and glory to you."

He was unwilling to fight before, but after this experience, he realized that the court is like sailing against the current. If he does not fight, he will only die.

Jiang Yuyan was already rich enough, she smiled and said: "If that day comes, Your Highness, I don't ask for wealth and glory, I just hope that Your Highness will not blame me for some unavoidable deception."

"Why is the Saint hiding something from me?" Xie Yuan was puzzled.

"It has nothing to do with Your Highness. I had to do it. I hope Your Highness can understand. When the time comes, we will know the truth." Jiang Yuyan said.

Xie Yuan nodded, "Okay!"

Jiang Yuyan felt relieved when she heard the ancestor's golden words.

At the beginning, she used the identity of Shen Canglan to deceive the emperor's Lishan Binglian with a beauty trap, and then escaped by deceiving the emperor with a guilty conscience for a "one-night stand". At this time, she must not reveal her identity.

The name was just a code name, she wasn't that persistent. But secretly interacting with those three people was not a long-term solution after all, if she had a chance, she would still be Jiang Yuyan again...

Half a month later, on the eve of Jiang Yuyan's wedding, Xie Yuan returned to the palace in tattered clothes, looking very pitiful.

It is said that Emperor Shengyuan burst into tears and said that my son had suffered. Because he did a good job, he personally issued an imperial edict the next morning to praise him and bestowed the title "Jing", making him the second prince with a title in Dayue besides the eldest prince who had already come of age. He was also rewarded with countless gold, silver and jewels...

Concubine Jia, Xie Yi and others were so angry that they jumped up and down, and the whole palace was gloomy.
