Chapter 373: Grab

Her Her little understanding was an unbearable burden for Bai Yan.

He didn't say anything, but just spread out his bag and started messing with the bottles and jars.

Jiang Zhiyu and the little snake watched him quietly.

In fact, not only Bai Yan was curious about Jiang Zhiyu's medical skills, but Jiang Zhiyu was also quite curious about Bai Yan's methods.

"By the way," Jiang Zhiyu remembered what Jiang Kangan said before, and said to Bai Yan: "The insect can be driven by anyone from the Southern Dragon, not necessarily by a member of the royal family."

Hearing this, Bai Yan frowned.

Jiang Zhiyu's words overturned his usual cognition. He said in a cold voice: "How do you know?"

"If you don't believe me, just try it. You should have that kind of insect on you."

Bai Yan looked at her steadily for a long time, without making any movements or saying anything.

"No, but you still have to go to Nanlong."

Jiang Zhiyu shrugged: "Of course I will go."

[It's said that the world is so big, I will certainly not stay in Shengjing. ]

And the most important point is that she wants to weaken the male and female halo of Xiao Yanli and Song Shiwei.

Otherwise, with the blessing of heaven and the halo, it would be a fantasy for them to think of it.

But...

Jiang Zhiyu tilted her head: "How do you know I'm going to Nanlong?"

She didn't tell anyone.

"The high priest said that fate is predetermined." Bai Yan's eyes were full of respect when he mentioned the high priest again.

The high priest of Nanlong? Jiang Zhiyu tapped her fingers slowly on the table.

I wonder if she can figure out that she is a person who has traveled through the book.

...

Since the imperial physician diagnosed that Concubine Duan was mentally ill, Xiao Siyuan used the excuse of taking care of Concubine Duan to live in the harem.

"Why did the emperor suddenly get furious? Not only did he marry my sister off in a hurry, but he also demoted you?"

There was no one else in the hall, so Xiao Siyuan lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.

Concubine Duan looked at him steadily: "You don't know? Do you really think you have kept secret all the things you did with Qingwu?"

Xiao Siyuan's face suddenly turned blue and red.

"It's my fault too," Concubine Duan looked at him and sighed softly, "If I had stopped you when I first found out, you wouldn't be in this situation now."

Xiao Siyuan: "..."

His face flushed, and he couldn't say a word.

Father really knew about it, no wonder he hurriedly sent me to Mobei, and chose a husband for Qingwu just before I left.

They can still save their lives from such a scandal, and they really have to thank father for his kindness.

Xiao Siyuan's hand was clenched tightly, and Concubine Duan sighed a few times.

"If you come back with military merit, our life will be better. At first, they were jealous of you and didn't dare to be too blatant, but after you came back..."

"You know what your mother is going to say, right?"

Xiao Siyuan's face turned pale and he bit his lip lightly: "Son... I know it's my incompetence."

"What's the use of just saying these, the matter is a foregone conclusion."

Concubine Duan's voice was soft, but it made Xiao Siyuan break out in a thin layer of sweat on his back.

"This palace is a place where people eat each other. If you want to be the boss, you must step on others to get there. Your mother is incompetent and comes from a humble background. There is no one in the capital who can help you. Everything depends on you."

"You will leave tomorrow. The palace will restrict your hands and feet. You don't have to accompany me. The most important thing now is to regain the opportunity to go to Mobei."

"You must regain your father's trust," Concubine Duan raised her hand and patted his shoulder lightly: "The same goes for your mother."

Xiao Siyuan's breathing stagnated slightly, and his hands clenched into fists, shaking slightly because he was too strong.

Concubine Duan's eyes swept over his trembling body: "Does it feel bad to have your life in the hands of others?"

Xiao Siyuan nodded.

"But you have no choice now. You have to work hard to snatch your own life from the hands of others!"

Concubine Duan did not mention herself or Xiao Qingwu alive, because she knew that no matter how much she said about them, it would not be as useful as this sentence.

People always care about themselves the most.

She always thought that there was still a lot of time, and she could wait until Xiao Siyuan was older and teach him slowly.

But after such an incident, Concubine Duan knew that she could not wait any longer.

If the emperor found out that Xiao Qingwu was not his biological daughter, the lives of the three of them would not be saved.

For now, they can only rely on Xiao Siyuan...

...

The new queen has not been decided yet, and the imperial edicts on the emperor's desk are almost as high as a person.

"I thought that after the death of the old ones, there would not be many people to care about these trivial matters. I didn't expect that these young ones are even more rampant than the old ones!" It was

hard to tell whether the emperor was happy or angry on his face, but his words were full of displeasure.

Chao En stood beside him and whispered to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. The adults are just anxious. After all, the empress is the master of the harem, and it has been vacant for so long..."

"Are they anxious about these?" The emperor sneered: "Do you really think I don't know their plans? Don't they just want to send their people in? They are targeting me!"

Chao En lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Don't they just want to send people? They really gave them this opportunity," the emperor rubbed his temples: "Pass the decree down, and the time of the selection will be advanced to tomorrow."

...

The emperor's sudden decree caught the ministers off guard.

Ministers who already had daughters to teach were happy, but those who did not have daughters and wanted to take them from the side branches were in trouble.

The etiquette and demeanor of the noble ladies in the capital were cultivated from childhood.

Most of the side branches were from small families, so the so-called etiquette was just acceptable.

To find one with good looks and proper manners is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So most of them chose the one with good looks, and as for manners, they thought they could cultivate them later, and when the time came for the selection, they would be almost ready.

So the emperor's sudden order directly broke their plan.

In the residence of the general of the escort flag, Hu Yue listened to the maid's words and bit her lip.

"Miss, do you really want to enter the palace? Aren't you infatuated with Young Master Jiang? Once you enter the palace, there will be no possibility for you..."

The maid looked at her worriedly.

She had been serving Hu Yue since she was a child, and she saw how much Hu Yue infatuated with Young Master Jiang. Based on her understanding of Hu Yue, she knew that Hu Yue would definitely regret entering the palace.

"What can I do? Young Master Jiang has already rejected me, and my father is determined to go to the battlefield. If I don't go to the palace and ask the emperor for an order, what else can I do?"

"Can I just wait in the mansion?"

Rather than responding to the maid's words, she was muttering to herself.

The maid's voice trembled: "Miss..."

"If I were a man, I would go to the battlefield with my father. Even if I die in battle, I will accept it. It's better than staying in this mansion, day after day, anxiously waiting for the result."
