The room suddenly became so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
The guards of Tianshu Pavilion standing in the room were stunned for a moment, then all looked at Qi Xu.
I kept swearing with my eyes that it was definitely not them who told the secret!
Qi Xu's attention at this moment was not on them at all.
When their eyes met, surprise flashed across his eyes, and then realization and appreciation emerged.
Miss Wei is extremely intelligent, so it is not surprising that she can guess his identity.
At this moment, Qi Xu simply stopped hiding it. He looked into those eyes that seemed to know everything, nodded slightly, and admitted, "Miss Wei's guess is correct. I am indeed the head of Tianshu Pavilion."
Then he added apologetically, "I'm sorry for hiding a lot from you before."
"You're welcome, sir." Wei Yunlan didn't think that the person in front of him had any obligation to tell him his identity.
In fact, if Ying Wu hadn't accidentally revealed this identity, even if she had guessed it, she would not have intended to point it out to him in person.
The guards of Tianshu Pavilion in the room looked back and forth between Wei Yunlan and their master, and tacitly chose to keep silent.
"Ying Wu, take people out first. I have something to say to Miss Wei." Since his identity had been revealed, Qi Xu simply didn't need to be shy and gave the order directly.
All the people in the room left immediately, leaving only Wei Yunlan standing in front of the bed.
It was really awkward for one of them to lie down and the other to stand.
Seeing this, Qi Xu covered his chest and tried to stand up.
Wei Yunlan stopped the man and said, "Old Doctor Yu just came to see you. Although your injury is recovering quickly, you still need to recuperate for a while. After all, the injury is near the heart meridian, so you can't be careless."
"If you have anything to say, just lie down and say it."
As he spoke, Wei Yunlan simply pulled over the round stool that Doctor Yu had been sitting on before and sat down beside the bed, so that Qi Xu wouldn't have to lie there with his head tilted back while talking to him.
"Miss Wei, to be honest, I owe you a thank you today." Qi Xu's expression became a little serious and he said seriously.
"Hmm?" Wei Yunlan looked puzzled.
Qi Xu raised his hand, grasped the blood-stained ancient jade on his chest, looked at Wei Yunlan and asked, "Miss Wei, don't you know the purpose of this jade?"
Does this piece of jade have other uses besides praying for blessings and warding off disasters, and acting like a talisman?
Wei Yunlan's eyes fell on the jade with surprise. She had not dared to stare at the other person's collar before, but now that the other person took the jade in front of her, she looked at it carefully.
The originally lustrous milky white jade was now stained with many red blushes. The red blush was not rubbed off by Qi Xu's fingers and remained on the jade.
If you look closely, you can see that it is not just floating on the surface, but has penetrated into the jade...
Jade has spiritual power.
Since ancient times, people have said that magical jade can ensure safety, and sometimes it is said that when jade breaks, it is meant to ward off disaster for its owner.
Although the ancient jade she gave away did not have any extraordinary story, it was actually taken down from Xiantai Mountain, so it was reasonable that it had some strange features.
Broken jade can ward off disasters, but the same saying applies to the jade that has been soaked in blood?
"Mr. Xiao, what you mean is that this jade saved your life?"
Qi Xu nodded.
This was what he vaguely realized after he woke up from his dream just now.
The inexplicable warmth that came from his chest after being shot by a hidden arrow and bleeding, as well as the dreams that were so different from the real world after fainting, should all be related to the ancient jade he wore on his chest.
When my royal grandfather was alive, he once said that Master Gao was a master with real abilities. He had predicted disasters for Dayong several times and helped Dayong avoid them.
Those dreams that were completely different from the real-life situations might have been calculated by Master Gao and intended to give them some pointers.
Yes, they do.
He now completely understood why Miss Zhongwei never left the capital in the dream, but in reality, she chose to divorce the son of Jinyang Marquis at the first opportunity, prepared supplies, and went into exile in Beiguan with her family.
Also, when the earth dragon turned over, he decisively left the exile team and changed his route. And after arriving in Huangzhou, he quickly subdued the brothers Tang Chuan and Tang Hai, who were supposed to be the leaders of the uprising.
All these signs point to one problem.
Miss Wei must have also been enlightened by the dream!
Seeing Qi Xu nodded in acknowledgment, Wei Yunlan felt a sense of emotion.
My great-grandfather was indeed not an ordinary man. Those jade stones that were once enshrined on Xiantai Mountain actually have such wonderful uses. They are much more reliable than the amulets that the rich ladies in the temples today buy at great prices!
In addition to the one she gave to Tianshu Pavilion, she still had two pieces left, which could be worn by her parents to keep them safe.
It's a pity that when I bought the dowry, the few pieces that were left should have been stored in the family storehouse, but they were confiscated along with other things when the house was searched. When I return to the capital, I have to find a way to get the things back, so that they won't be given away for nothing by Emperor Xiaoming, the Second Prince, and Concubine Ling.
On the bed, in front of the bed.
At the same time, Qi Xu and Wei Yunlan exchanged glances, and there was a hint of understanding in their eyes as they looked at each other.
Qi Xu did not directly mention the matter of the other life, but said cryptically: "Miss Wei, since you already know many things, I will speak frankly and not beat around the bush."
In his opinion, Master Gao and his grandfather were on the same front.
He had already classified the Tianshi Mansion and the Wei Family as his own people.
In addition, since Miss Wei is in the same situation as himself, there is no need to conceal many arrangements, so he said bluntly: "Next, I will send Yu Qi to escort you to Beiguan."
"As for me, after I have dealt with the collusion between the officials of Huangzhou and the Northern Barbarians, I will leave the Northland and head south to Tanzhou."
The fiefdom given by Emperor Xiao Ming to the deposed prince was the three states of Tan, Qian and Yi.
Wei Yunlan had long ago determined that the head of Tianshu Pavilion obeyed the prince, so when he heard the word "Tanzhou", there was no trace of surprise in his eyes.
Her calm appearance made Qi Xu even more certain of what he was thinking.
As expected, Miss Wei already knew many things about his other life. Even his other identity was probably no longer a secret in Miss Wei's eyes.
I have been following his concealment and calling him by a pseudonym, probably because I know that his other identity is too complicated to be easily disclosed.
Thinking of this, Qi Xu couldn't help but whispered: "Miss Wei is thoughtful."
"Young lady, you also know that this matter should not be discovered by outsiders. I hope you will continue to conceal it for me. Even if it is to your father and mother, it is best not to mention it for the time being." After all, there are people from the court who are always monitoring Lord Wei, so it is inevitable that something will go wrong.
Wei Yunlan is not a talkative person.
I had never intended to tell anyone that Tianshu Pavilion obeyed the orders of the Crown Prince, so I nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I know."
