Chapter 371 Three Beautiful Hands That Shut Up
Bai Yan's purpose of moving into Xu's mansion is as clear as Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it.
Jiang Kang'an lowered his eyelashes, but did not refuse directly: "We should ask Zhiyu's opinion on this matter first."
"Of course." The emperor nodded slightly.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Everyone must swallow the antidote in advance for the fog forest in front of Nanlong. Bai Yan has given me the prescription, but..."
The emperor sighed lightly: "This medicine needs to be guided by the insect to exert its effect."
"But this particular insect can only be driven by someone from the royal family of Nanlong."
This means that they must let Erzhu Huaji or Tudola drive the insect.
But in the current situation...
it is almost impossible to get the two of them to agree.
Everyone's faces darkened.
Although it was difficult, it was not completely impossible.
No one present was stupid, and they knew what the other person was thinking from the change in their eyes.
As long as Zhiyu was allowed to treat Tudora, the problem of the worm would be solved.
But...
from what Zhiyu said before, she was obviously unwilling.
The few of them tacitly did not mention it.
He Yanting was the first to speak up: "That dense forest is not the only way to enter Nanlong. There is actually a small path in the mountain. Although it is a bit difficult to walk, you can get through if you are careful and look out for each other."
Everyone's eyes just lit up, and He Yanting said again: "But that road can only be walked, and vehicles and horses can't pass at all."
He Yanting pointed out the location of the path on the map, "This place is remote, I discovered it by accident, and the Nanlong people don't know where it is."
"Food and grass can be carried by the soldiers, but weapons..."
Several people discussed for a whole morning, and did not come up with any satisfactory results.
The three returned to the mansion and told Jiang Zhiyu everything the emperor told them.
"It's fine for him to stay here, but he can't eat and drink for free," Jiang Zhiyu licked his lips, "Let him work as an assistant in my clinic."
No one else had any objection to how to arrange Bai Yan.
Jiang Kang'an chuckled and said, "It's up to you."
His eyes were tired and his brows were slightly furrowed.
If he had been allowed to lead the army, Jiang Kang'an wouldn't have been so nervous, but it was Jiang Wenjing who was leading the army.
It was related to his safety, and Jiang Kang'an was really worried unless all the hidden dangers were checked clearly.
Jiang Zhiyu looked at his eldest brother's worried expression and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just a parasite, there are ways to solve it."
[Don't listen to him, he himself was fooled. ]
[It's not that difficult to deal with, it's not like the parasite in the fantasy novel that has awakened its consciousness and recognized its master. 】
【As long as it is the blood of a Nanlong person, it can be activated. 】
【This statement is all a lie made by the Nanlong royal family. 】
【It's a pity that we can't tell them directly. Let Bai Yan tell them when he comes. 】
Jiang Kangan: "..."
Jiang Wenjing: "..."
He Yanting: "..."
It was difficult to describe their mood at the moment.
It's so easy, then what's the point of racking their brains in the morning?
The three of them didn't even drink tea, and their lips were tightly pursed.
They were like three beautiful hands that were shut in.
...
Since being intercepted by He Yanting last time, Xiao Yanli has become more cautious in doing things. No matter what he does, he must leave two people to look out first.
This time, he just came back from Zuiyuelong, and he heard a shocking news from Uncle Zhang.
"Does Song Shiwei have clues to the treasure of the previous dynasty?"
He paused as he was untying his cloak, and looked at Uncle Zhang in surprise.
"I just learned about this as well. I'm afraid the Second Prince has also known about this news. These past few days, the Second Prince has been going to Jiang Zhaorong's mansion every day."
Xiao Yanli took a deep breath, wondering what he was thinking.
"Is the source of the news reliable?" "
The source hasn't been found yet, but the Second Prince has already sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the treasure of the previous dynasty, so it should be true."
Xiao Yanli took off his cloak and handed it to Uncle Zhang.
"She didn't mention this to me before. If she really knew the clue to the treasure of the previous dynasty, she would definitely tell the emperor now that life and death are at stake."
"No news from the palace?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Maybe she doesn't know either?"
Xiao Yanli paused and looked up at him.
Uncle Zhang said carefully, "She was still young at the time and couldn't remember anything. Besides, didn't she always doubt her identity? It was just a coincidence that the couple died suddenly in the same year?"
Xiao Yanli fell into deep thought, and Uncle Zhang continued, "Besides, who would adopt the daughter of a personal guard as their adopted daughter just because he died for them, and value her more than their own children?"
"I suspect that Song Shiwei is not the daughter of a personal guard at all, but... a princess of the previous dynasty." "
Jiang Zhaorong may have saved the princess of the previous dynasty by various coincidences, but the princess was too young, and he was not at ease to leave her to others. He took care of her himself, but he didn't have a suitable identity, so he lied that she was the daughter of a personal guard."
People are most afraid of thinking too much. The more they think, the more they can justify themselves even if there is anything unreasonable.
Uncle Zhang is like this.
Xiao Yanli still retained some rationality: "It has been nearly seventy years since the previous dynasty. From the emperor to my father, Song Shiwei can't match their ages."
"Even if there is a treasure from the previous dynasty, why haven't we heard any news about it in these seventy years, but it only appeared now?"
"This..." Uncle Zhang blinked his eyes. "The previous emperor was merciful and did not kill them all. Perhaps it was because of this that they did not reveal that Song Shiwei was their descendant. Since he was lost outside, something must have happened. It is not impossible that the news of the treasure has only spread now."
Xiao Yanli thought about it and it was indeed true.
After all, the treasure of the previous dynasty was something that could kill people if they were not careful.
But he always felt that there was something wrong.
Because of this discord, Xiao Yanli did not make a direct decision: "First send someone to closely monitor Xiao Chuji's movements, and report every move to me."
"Also, what about the woman Xiao Chuji was obsessed with before?"
"She lives in the mountains, and she picks herbs on weekdays and sends them to Jiang Zhiyu's clinic."
Xiao Chuji nodded: "Take good care of her, listen to my orders, and bring her to the mansion when necessary."
Uncle Zhang nodded.
"There is one more thing, Han Qiao's face was cured by Jiang Zhiyu."
Xiao Yanli showed an unbelievable look on his face: "Cured? To what extent?"
"As if she had never been injured," Uncle Zhang said in a dry voice: "All the noble ladies in the capital stayed in Xu's mansion for nearly four hours yesterday."
Xiao Yanli took a deep breath.
"Now the ministers are all ready to make a move, coveting the position of the new queen. Your Highness, do you have a candidate in mind?"
