Chapter 586 Just like the twin sisters
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, Qiu Zongping frowned and said, "Father, when the princess was in the border town, she was busy treating patients and saving lives, and she did not participate in frontline military affairs.
If you want to know anything, just ask your son."
Qiu Yuanzheng nodded and asked, "Then what's your plan?"
"No."
The atmosphere rarely becomes heavy.
Qiu Yuanzheng gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to curse.
But when the words came to his lips, he held them back.
While he reminded himself that this was his biological child, he also warned himself that his wife had always been in poor health and must not get angry.
Even so, he still wanted to beat this guy.
Since you don't know anything, just stay aside and don't rush to respond.
Could it be possible that as an elder, he could force Princess Yong'an to find a solution?
Qiu Yuanzheng became angrier the more he thought about it. He secretly took note of this and looked at Song Yanxi and said, "I was just in a hurry at the moment. Princess, please don't take it to heart."
He thought of something and frowned as he asked, "Just now I heard Madam mention General Yan, but what does the Princess want to ask?"
A person who has been dead for more than 20 years will not be mentioned for no reason.
Song Yanxi held the letter in her hand, not knowing how to start.
Seeing this, Qiu Zongping explained, "Dad, we were just discussing the accidental death of General Xu."
Hearing this, Qiu Yuanzheng couldn't help but sigh, "General Xu was a brave man throughout his life. I thought he would die for his country on the battlefield, but I never thought he would be defeated by a minor illness.
It’s really regrettable.”
Is this what the report said?
Qiu Zongping met Song Yanxi's puzzled eyes and shook his head slightly.
This matter was probably the work of Mo Jinchuan.
After all, they were colleagues. It was understandable that he concealed the truth in the letter out of selfish desire to protect Xu Xiao's reputation.
But is it fair to those people in the Bai family who died unjustly?
Song Yanxi was in a complicated mood for a while, and she didn't even care about what Qiu Yuanzheng said.
Seeing that she was worried, Qiu Yuanzheng found an excuse and called his wife and daughter away, leaving only Qiu Zongping to keep her company.
When he reached the door, he said, "Ping'er, come to the study in half a minute. Your father has something to tell you."
He didn't have anything to say, he was clearly reminding his son to avoid suspicion.
Rumors are more ferocious than tigers. Princess Yong'an is about to get married to His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and she can't stand any more disturbances.
Even if the two of them didn't care, since it concerned the royal family's reputation, they couldn't be careless.
In particular, their Majesty is not a magnanimous person.
It was rare that he was willing to help the two lovers get together, but he didn't dare to ask for too much.
Listening to the footsteps fading away, Qiu Zongping took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry, Princess. General Xu used a secret military medicine and passed away in a beautiful dream. He didn't suffer any pain."
Song Yanxi nodded and asked in a deep voice, "Where are General Xu's daughters?"
"The two young ladies are unwilling to follow me back to the capital, saying that they want to protect General Xu and defend the border town he has guarded for half his life."
Qiu Zongping paused and said, "His Majesty has approved it. He has granted the two young ladies special permission to marry into the Xu family and continue the Xu family line."
Xu family incense?
How can a man who has never married or had children talk about continuing his life?
It's just for the people of the world to see.
How hypocritical.
Song Yanxi took a deep breath and asked, "Has General Qiu read what's written in the letter?"
Qiu Zongping: "My Lady, no."
He said with a sullen face, "Your Highness doesn't even know that General Xu left a letter for the princess."
"You..." He is so bold, isn't he afraid that Mo Jinchuan will pursue him later?
Qiu Zongping smiled and said, "I promised the two young ladies that I would personally deliver this letter to the princess. How could I go back on my word?"
Song Yanxi asked, "Did you bring back those paintings that Uncle Xu drew?"
Anticipating her question, Qiu Zongping nodded and said, "Those are General Xu's relics. They should have been buried with the general, but I thought it would be a good idea to bring them back as a keepsake.
Someone will deliver it to the Princess's residence later, and I hope the Princess will treasure it well."
Understanding his hidden meaning, Song Yanxi nodded in agreement.
Even if he didn't say it, when she returned to the Yan family to deliver a letter to her aunt, she would tell her that Uncle Xu had never changed his mind over the years.
And Lightning, it has been away from her for so many years, it's time to return it to its original owner.
Qiu Zongping frowned and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Princess, the prince is definitely not someone who covets beauty. Don't believe the rumors outside."
Song Yanxi didn't answer but asked, "General Qiu, can you see that beauty's face clearly?"
Hearing this, Qiu Zongping's face suddenly turned red.
He scratched his head and said, "At that time, I was only thinking about beating up that Prince Liang, and I really didn't see clearly."
Thinking of something, he said, "But some people said that the woman's appearance is very similar to Princess Shihan."
Song Yanxi nodded, and he continued, "If we talk about resemblance, it's still the woman named Jiaojiao. The two of them are like twin sisters."
"They look so similar?"
"The princess didn't see it, and many of the brothers almost admitted their mistake."
Thinking that the other party's death was unclear and His Majesty had no intention of pursuing the matter, Qiu Zongping lowered his voice and asked, "Princess, the person who poisoned her was Princess Shihan, right?"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, he said, "My Lady, there is no need to say more. I will never say anything nonsense in public."
His words seemed to indicate that Zhuang Shihan was the mastermind behind this.
Song Yanxi laughed and explained helplessly: "An Yi has already gone to the Divine Doctor Valley. When she comes back, we will know the truth of the matter."
Qiu Zongping said without hesitation: "A person with her character would never be a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley."
Song Yanxi certainly hoped so.
However, the acupuncture techniques used by Zhuang Shihan and the prescriptions she prescribed to deal with the epidemic in the border town were all influenced by the Valley of Miracle Doctors.
Even if she was not a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley, she must have some connection with the disciples in the valley.
The best outcome now is that someone in the valley was deceived by her and taught her the medical skills of the Divine Doctor Valley.
Otherwise, she could only prepare for the worst outcome.

"Miss, it's already this late. I'm afraid the prince won't come today."
Zhuzhi put down the bird's nest and looked at Song Yanxi who was reading medical skills by candlelight, her eyes full of heartache.
She said, "Candlelight hurts your eyes, it's better for you to rest early."
Song Yanxi responded, put down the book and said, "I'm not sleepy yet, you go to sleep first."
Zhuzhi seemed to want to speak but stopped.
Knowing what she was worried about, Song Yanxi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not waiting for the prince."
However, she was indeed waiting for someone.
An San has been walking for more than half a month, traveling light and alone. Logically, he should be returning in the next two days.
Even if something delayed you on the way, you could send a letter back by carrier pigeon to let them know you were safe.
Could it be that something went wrong along the way?
The more Song Yanxi thought about it, the more upset she became. She looked up at Zhuzhi and asked, "Did anyone come to your house while I was away?"
Zhuzhi shook her head and said, “The day after the young lady left, we packed up our things and returned to the Yan family.
The housekeeper said that apart from the Marquis’s two visits, there were no other visitors.”
Seeing Song Yanxi's serious expression, Zhuzhi asked, "Miss, what happened?"
