Chapter 67 Identity Exposed 1
The next morning, the secret guard who went to the former site of the Holy Ai Kingdom to look for medicine returned.
Song Zijin was very excited and immediately called Liao Yan over. The two of them studied for a whole morning and came to a pessimistic conclusion:
After a century of evolution, the medicinal properties of these two herbs have weakened significantly. If you want to remove the poison, you need at least ten times the amount.
But according to the secret guards, finding these dozen trees is already the limit.
It is already autumn at the site of the ruins, and winter is approaching, which is not suitable for plant growth. New medicinal herbs will have to wait until at least next year.
Liao Yan was deflated and returned to his yard, feeling sad alone.
Song Zijin had a good idea - to use her blood to nourish the medicinal herbs.
However, she had just moved into the main house last night and slept on the same bed with Xiao Linyuan, so any wound on her body would not escape his eyes.
This is a bit tricky.
…
The news that Ruifengyuan had called for water several times a few days ago finally reached the old princess's ears.
She was so happy that she almost jumped up, and went to the warehouse to open the dowry box that had been covered in dust for many years.
In the past, I always heard other wives complain that as a mother-in-law, they had to pay a lot of money when their sons got married.
Every time she was the one crawling in the shadows, secretly cursing those people for not knowing how to appreciate what they had.
If she had given birth to a few more sons, perhaps she wouldn't have to sit on the bench for so long and would have become a grandmother long ago!
What should I give to Mianmian?
I never saw her wearing the gold jewelry I gave her last time, so I guess she didn't like it.
Why not give her this set of ruby headpiece that is best kept in the bottom of the box? This girl is fair-skinned and she will look good in it!
At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in.
"Old Princess, Xiao Jin is here."
The smile on the old princess's face suddenly disappeared without a trace. "What is he doing here?"
"He said he wanted to come and see Miss Mianmian."
"If you don't send a visiting card before you come to my house, I won't see you."
The housekeeper gave Madam Jiang a look, asking her to persuade her.
It is true that Mianmian lives in the palace, but her personal contract is still in Xiao Jin's hands. If a conflict arises, there is no guarantee that he will not do something to hurt Mianmian.
Nanny Jiang understood and took the jeweled headpiece. "The prince has fully recovered and can protect Mianmian. Why don't you meet her? I don't think that bastard will cause any trouble in the palace."
The old princess snorted softly, "Ling Zhi, why doesn't he use his connections to help Mian Mian change her identity?"
Nanny Jiang thought for a moment and said, "The prince is wise and intelligent, he must have his reasons."
"Hmph, for Mian Mian's sake, I'll just tolerate him for now."
After saying that, he hurried to the front yard with Nanny Jiang.
The housekeeper knew that the old princess disliked Xiao Jin, so he didn't even arrange a cup of tea for him.
Xiao Jin was not annoyed. He opened his folding fan and walked around the front yard to enjoy the breeze and the willows.
"Master Xiao really has a refined taste."
The voice came over before the old princess even came close.
Xiao Jin turned around, his lips curled up, his brows gentle.
I haven't seen him for more than a month. He has lost a lot of weight, but he is still so disgusting.
"The old princess's attitude towards me seems to have taken a sharp turn for the worse compared to a month ago." Xiao Lin said with a smile.
"What did you do before? Do you need me to expose it? Why bother putting on a show in front of me, Master Xiao?"
Now that she has Mianmian, the old princess has gained confidence and is naturally unwilling to continue to be subservient in front of Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin paused waving his folding fan, his eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting a dangerous light.
The old princess' attitude had changed so much, and her complexion had improved more than a little. He was afraid that his suspicions had come true...
"The old princess refused to let my mother in, causing her to be heartbroken and abandon me to go far away. I hate you, so what's wrong with taking revenge on your son?"
His tone was calm, but his eyes were filled with viciousness, like a wild beast ready to open its bloody mouth and devour everything at any time.
The old princess has always been strong when facing a strong opponent and is not afraid at all.
He said coldly, "Don't confuse cause and effect. Didn't your mother leave because you were obsessed with recognizing your ancestors and angered her?"
"What's wrong with me wanting to return to my roots? You're the one who's wrong. You're the hen crowing at dawn, forcing my father to neglect his fatherly duties. You're a disgrace to my colleagues!"
The old princess rolled her eyes. "I can't explain it to you clearly. You should go back now. From now on, our two families should not have any contact. We are from the same Xiao family, but different clans. We should rely on each other."
Xiao Jin instantly tore off his gentle mask and his face became ferocious.
"The game has already begun, and I am the leader. Don't think that you can rest easy just because Xiao Linyuan has woken up. No one can leave the chessboard until I say it's over!"
"Show him away!" the old princess was angry.
How did Xiao Xuanyue give birth to such a weird child?
"I want to see Xiao Linyuan and Mianmian." Xiao Jin patted the wrinkles on his sleeves with a tough attitude.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. Mianmian's parents are in my care. She must be willing to see me. Why don't you send someone to ask them?"
Nanny Jiang quickly helped the old princess calm down and whispered, "Calm down! If this lunatic goes out and talks nonsense, the prince's reputation will be ruined! Besides, the prince is also under the influence of the Gu. What if they are forced into a corner and become desperate?"
The old princess gritted her teeth and ordered the housekeeper: "Go to Ruifeng Courtyard and ask if Ling Zhi has woken up."
"yes!"
…
When Xiao Linyuan heard the news, he was extremely unwilling.
Then he thought of the spy still hiding in the Xiao Mansion, this is a good opportunity.
"How many of his thugs followed him?"
The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "There are about fifteen or sixteen of them, all strong and robust."
Thinking of this, the butler secretly spat. He was not a high-ranking official, but he put on such a big show.
The prince would not bring so many guards with him when he left the palace.
"Wang Ge, try to see if you can get in. I will try to delay the time as much as possible."
"yes!"
These dozens of thugs in the Xiao Mansion all came from a thug organization called Blood Shadow Building. They were either picked up or kidnapped, and many children were forced to receive training.
Many children are unsuitable for martial arts training, so the owner of the Blood Shadow Tower has created a special medicine. Long-term use will accelerate the physical development of children much faster than their peers. The result is that these children's intellectual development is slowed, allowing them to easily blend in during the chaos.
Jin Yue's 50,000 soldiers entered the capital in batches, and only 30,000 were arranged. It was not worth exposing them because of a spy.
More importantly, the poison has not been cured yet, so it is better not to confront him head-on before that.
"Butler Li, go tell Xiao Jin that I just woke up and need to wash up, so ask him to wait."
"Do you need someone to invite Miss Mianmian back?"
If the pair of eyes hidden outside the clinic a few days ago were Xiao Jin's people, there was no guarantee that Xiao Jin might have discovered something, and he might have come here today just to test them.
"Go and invite her back, and bring Liao Yan along too. Have him pretend to be Master Yuli, just in case."
These two days she has been going out early and coming back late, as if she is ready to devote her all to the clinic.
She came back in the middle of the night and when he wanted to get close to her, she said she was tired.
As soon as you act coquettishly, he becomes soft-hearted.
We can only kiss twice and are not allowed to touch anything else. I don’t know if it’s because we just started living together and are not used to it.
He was even a little worried, afraid that she might be dissatisfied with him in that aspect, so she hid in the clinic and didn't come back.
For this reason, he bought a lot of booklets to study and read these days...
When he woke up this morning, she had already left the house. Counting from the time he fell asleep last night, he hadn't seen her for seven or eight hours.
Very much.
Want to hold her.
Want to kiss her.
He wanted to lock her in the room and keep her with him all the time. But he only dared to think about it and never dared to be so selfish.
He couldn't bear to see her sad.
