Chapter 888: Too much edge.

Dabao interjected, "The Fourth Young Master does sound great. He helped Mother auction off a rare ancestral staff, greatly increasing Mother's strength. He also gave Mother advice. The Fourth Young Master is both brave and resourceful. Grandpa Zhan Wang has a good eye for people. When I meet the Fourth Young Master again in the future, I will definitely reward him handsomely!"

Jiang Lianzhu laughed, "Yes, yes, we will reward him handsomely. However, he acts freely and mysteriously, and doesn't like being controlled. I don't know when he will come to the capital, and he is not the kind of person who would want us to thank him."

Liao Jiu said, "This Silangjun sounds like an open-minded gentleman. He accompanied you to the black market and the marriage this time. I, Liao Jiu, owe him a huge favor. When we meet next time, I will definitely treat him to a drink and reward him handsomely. Of course, his personality is his business, but we owe him a favor, so we must thank him. We can't take it for granted just because we are family and accept his kindness."

What he said sounded righteous and made some sense.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't say anything else.

Finally, they talked about the third princess again.

"The Third Princess is indeed a snake woman. She has already told me the whole story. After the owner of Baihua Tower died, the deputy owner picked up the Baihua Order and has regained control of the situation. She is currently lurking in the capital of Da'an Kingdom."

Dabao wasn't too surprised, "She's a snake girl?"

"Yes. She has been able to understand snake language since she was young. Later, Eunuch Si discovered her talent and allowed her to join the Baihua Tower. He taught her the skills of controlling snakes, and she was able to command a group of snakes. However, she remained kind and was not as evil as the others in the Baihua Tower. Now that she has left the Baihua Tower and honestly confessed everything she knew about the Baihua Tower, I have set her free."

"Does she know who the current owner of Baihua Tower is? Does she have any accurate information to catch Baihua Tower in one fell swoop?" Liao Jiu asked with great interest.

He added, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Jiang Lianzhu shook her head. "She only said that the new owner is the former deputy owner, but we don't know his true identity. Baihualou has always been like this, mysterious and shady. But she gave some clues, and I feel like we have some direction. If we follow her lead, we will definitely find something. However, we have to keep it a secret and not mention Baihualou for now, so as not to alert anyone there."

"Okay! Mother, you take care of the arrangements. Mother, you flew back from far away and must be exhausted. We can talk about it in detail tomorrow if there is anything." It was getting late, and they chatted without noticing that it had gotten dark.

Dabao is a sensible child. He decided to spend time with his parents. They haven't seen each other for so long, and they must feel like they have been reunited after a short separation. They have a lot to say to each other.

The details of what happened at Baihua Tower cannot be explained in a few words. It won’t be too late to talk about it tomorrow.

He still had a lot of things to deal with. Now that his parents were back, there was no need to rush. He should deal with the many affairs of the court first.

"Go!" Jiang Lianzhu touched his head. "As the ruler of a country, you've done a good job."

When Dabao received Jiang Lianzhu's praise, a rare invisible blush appeared on his calm little face.

"Dad, Mom, you guys take a rest."

Dabao left.

Only Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu were left in the study.

Liao Jiu looked at Jiang Lianzhu with fiery eyes.

"Wife, you must be tired! Why don't you wash up and rest early?"

Jiang Lianzhu felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her. Since they got married, they had never been separated for such a long time.

It was our first time apart, and it felt a little strange.

"I can't sleep. I'll go check on Chengfeng's injuries first!" She was always worried about him and couldn't let it go.

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

The two went to see Chengfeng.

Now Chengfeng and Jifeng have their own courtyards, and they are usually served by special people. They are all trustworthy servants chosen by themselves and who are to their liking.

As soon as Jifeng came back, he went back to their yard. At this time, he was already full and lying in his comfortable and clean big nest, taking a nap.

Chengfeng's nest was next to Jifeng's. Chengfeng also squatted in the nest, stretched out his neck, and combed Jifeng's feathers.

Ji Feng was so tired after flying for two days that he fell asleep.

Chengfeng combed its hair affectionately and cooed to it from time to time.

When he saw Jiang Lianzhu coming, he flapped his wings and flew up, looking very happy.

It jumped out of the nest and rubbed against Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu saw that its legs were still tied with cotton cloth. "Slow down, take it easy. You're still making such a fuss even though you're injured."

It flew over in the wind, rubbed its big head against Jiang Lianzhu's hand, and made a series of chirping sounds.

"How did you get injured? Let me check you..." Jiang Lianzhu touched its head and began to check its leg injury.

The blood on the cotton cloth had dried, and the wound was almost healing on its own, but it could be vaguely seen from the wound that it was a crossbow wound!

Another crossbow wound!

Fortunately, the wound was not deep and there was no poison on it.

Liao Jiu stepped forward from behind Jiang Lianzhu. "How's it going, wife? The bandage is pretty good, isn't it? I heard it was done by the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital. After checking, there's no poison, and no broken bones. Of course, it's because we were so clever and flew so fast that we didn't hurt any vital parts..."

As he said that, he reached out and touched Chengfeng's big head.

Chengfeng dodged towards Jiang Lianzhu.

Looked a little frightened.

Liao Jiu laughed at himself awkwardly, "I've advanced so quickly that even Chengfeng is afraid of me. If I had known, I wouldn't have advanced so quickly. I've been feeling anxious. Compared to my wife, I'm so useless. I wanted to stand in front of her and protect her. Now that I'm finally acting like one, Chengfeng is spurning me again."

Chengfeng still didn't want to get close to Liao Jiu and hid behind Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu frowned, "Forget it, let it slowly adapt. You're advancing too fast now, and the pressure is too great."

From the moment they first met, Jiang Lianzhu sensed the pressure from a powerful person, and only later discovered that it was Liao Jiu.

When they arrived at the palace, Liao Jiu came and everyone was in awe of him. This was because his powerful aura made people feel oppressed.

Too sharp.

Liao Jiu said ashamedly.

"Wife, I don't know how to restrain myself yet. This is my shortcoming. I am not as restrained as you! Wife, your current strength is still above mine. It seems that I am still behind you. I have to keep working hard."

Jiang Lianzhu thought about it and decided that it wasn't his fault.

It's not what he wants.

"I'm a wizard, and you're a warrior. We're different. Just control yourself slowly. Chengfeng's injury must have been intentional by Baihualou. I don't know why. It feels a little strange that there's no poison."

Liao Jiu said, "Could it be some strange poison? There were no symptoms at first? They only appeared later?"

This reminded Jiang Lianzhu, "Then I'll give it another thorough checkup tomorrow morning."
