After saying this, she nodded as if agreeing with herself.
Hu Yue was confused and amused by her old-fashioned words and slightly childish behavior.
…
Tianqi, the Sixth Prince’s Mansion.
Although she said that she didn't care about the scar, how could Song Shiwei really not care?
In addition to the imperial physician, she had visited all the famous clinics in the capital, including Jiang Zhiyu's clinic.
However, after using various medicines, the condition on her face did not improve at all.
When she was feeling depressed alone in the room, two soft "knock knock" sounds were heard outside the window.
"Who?!" Song Shiwei raised his head and shouted.
No one answered, and there were two more knocks. Song Shiwei plucked up the courage to open the window, and Ji Tong leaned against the window frame with a faint smile.
Compared with him, Song Shiwei's expression seemed particularly cold.
Seeing that there was no disgust in Ji Tong's eyes, Song Shiwei asked with a wary look in his eyes: "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Yanli must have sent someone to follow him at all times. He came to find me...
"Don't worry, Miss Song. I have already shaken off everyone who was looking at me before I came here. I am here just to ask Miss Song a question. Miss Song, do you want a good doctor?"
Song Shiwei tilted his head slightly: "You have it?"
"Of course," Ji Tong took out a small bottle from his sleeve and motioned Song Shiwei to give him his hand.
Song Shiwei stretched out her hand suspiciously, and Ji Tong applied the ointment on her hand. Although the scar did not disappear immediately, it became visibly lighter.
Song Shiwei widened his eyes and subconsciously reached out to grab it.
Having already imitated all the famous doctors in Beijing, she originally thought that there was no hope.
Ji Tong dodged sideways nimbly.
Song Shiwei's hand hung awkwardly in the air. Under Ji Tong's half-smile, she withdrew it and suppressed her excitement: "What do you want?"
Ji Tong narrowed his eyes slightly. "Xiao Yanli intends to send you to the Crown Prince's residence. I heard that the Emperor has recently asked the Crown Prince to handle memorials. You should find a way to pass on the information about the battle in Mobei."
Song Shiwei: "..."
Her expression was very complicated. She didn't even feel sad about being abandoned by Xiao Yanli again. The next moment, she was speechless.
Can she see the memorial?
"Don't worry about the prince's men. You only have to worry about the prince. Pass on a piece of information in exchange for a bottle of medicine. That's it."
Before Song Shiwei could reply, Ji Tong had disappeared.
Song Shiwei took a deep breath and closed the window heavily.
…
On the other side, in the Nan Gu Palace, the King of Nan Gu finally dispelled his suspicions when he heard the news brought back by the spies was almost the same as what was reported that day.
He even had the energy to summon court officials to hold a funeral for the high priest.
The high priest's coffin was placed in front of the temple, and the people of Nan Gu bowed and kowtowed before it. After the ceremony, someone whispered in the Nan Gu King's ear, "Your Majesty, the Great Elder requests an audience."
Now that the Great Elder has resigned from his post, he is no different from a commoner, so naturally he cannot participate in the funeral of the High Priest.
King Nan Gu didn't think much about it, just thought that he was here to pay his respects, and nodded slightly.
Soon, the servant led the high priest in, followed by a hooded man.
The Great Elder kowtowed and offered incense before saying, "Your Majesty, the enemy is approaching now. This is not a good time to hold a funeral."
King Nan Gu pursed his lips and said, "Of course I know. You don't need to remind me. Besides, you are just a commoner now. Without my permission, what qualifications do you have to come here?"
"What qualifications do you have to question me?"
The Great Elder was silent for a long while before he said, "Your Majesty is right. I have overstepped the bounds of duty. However, the enemy is still here, so we should first find a way to withdraw..."
"Don't worry about that. Kenta has already obeyed my orders and talked with Tianqi, and they have agreed to withdraw their troops."
King Nan Gu looked at the Great Elder's incredulous face with pleasure.
"If that's the case, I have nothing more to say. However, there's one thing I'm still unclear about: how did the king force them to retreat?"
King Nan Gu raised his head slightly: "Don't they want those two unfilial sons? What's the harm if I give them to them?"
After a moment of silence, the Great Elder murmured, "So that's how it is."
The Southern Gu King frowned slightly impatiently: "Now that we have paid our respects, let's leave."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Since I am no longer the Great Elder and the High Priest is dead, some things should be handed over to Your Majesty."
thing?
Nan Gu King looked at him suspiciously: "What is that?"
"A treasure passed down by Nan Gu to this day," the Great Elder took out an ornately decorated box and made a gesture to open it, but then stopped.
King Nan Gu looked at him hesitantly, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity after all, and waved his hand to signal everyone around him to go down.
"What is it?"
"yes--"
"Your life!"
The moment the box was opened, the hooded man next to it reached out and grabbed the dagger inside, then stabbed it fiercely at the Southern Gu King!
But he only managed to make a cut on his neck, and then he was pinned to the ground.
The Southern Gu King stroked his neck in shock. Looking at the glaring scarlet on his hands, his hands couldn't help but tremble. "I knew you were going to murder me. I knew you had evil intentions! Kill them all! Kill them all!!"
After shouting, he suddenly stopped and said, "Wait, who is this person?"
He looked at the great elder beside him and had a terrifying guess in his mind.
if……
He didn't even dare to lift the man's hood himself.
The Great Elder looked at him with a hint of sarcasm: "They have all been suppressed. Can't the King just decide for himself who it is?"
King Nan Gu took a deep breath, took the sword from the guard, and lifted up his hood.
What came into view was a strange face.
He let out a long sigh.
He was crazy and actually thought that Kenta and the Great Elder had joined forces to let Erzhu Huaji come and kill him.
Fortunately, the front line is real, and everything is just the work of the Great Elder.
"Kill them all."
The hooded man quickly began to fight back, and the snake on the Great Elder's crutch was also oozing venom. King Nan Gu shouted loudly, and the people outside the house finally heard the noise and came to protect him.
After a fierce battle, the Great Elder escaped through the window, and the hooded man was stabbed by several swords at the same time.
"Pass the order down. The Great Elder's assassination attempt has failed. Search the entire city for him. Kill him if found!"
…
After all, it was news of the king's assassination, so it naturally spread very quickly. Kenta heard the news within a day.
Done!
He touched the snake's head which had recovered a little, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.
"Bring Yugu and Yuli."
Soon, Yougu and Youli stood in the center of the tent.
Gonta looked at Yugu several times before speaking, "After such a serious injury, he can now run and jump. He's recovered well."
You Li said gratefully, "Thanks to the elder's help that day, otherwise, I'm afraid that You Gu and I would be separated by heaven and earth. The elder's kindness will be unforgettable to us brothers!"
"What are you talking about? After all, your brother is blessed with a long life."
