"Miss, will Xiao Fenggu be in danger of life after being poisoned by Ku Juezi?" Quan Yue immediately asked curiously.
"Lingkong, tell me about the toxicity of the bitter fruit!"
"It's a bitter infertility drug, not fatal, but it's a miraculous pregnancy-prevention drug for women that can make them infertile for five years!"
Quan Yue was immediately shocked and asked, "How could Lan Yuehong be so cruel to her own friend?"
"Yes, in this era, if a woman cannot get pregnant and have children in her prime years, she will face a miserable life in the future, being shunned by her husband, ignored by her family, ridiculed by her neighbors, and so on~!" Ning Xiaotang said.
"Miss, do you have any way to deal with this poison?" Quan Yue poured another cup of tea and placed it on the table for Ning Xiaotang to drink.
"Me? I'm not sure yet. After all, it's rare to find someone who has lived for a thousand years without becoming a bandit."
Ning Xiaotang smiled quietly in her heart: Even if there are traces of evil in the space, it cannot be exposed!
At this time, Banyue came in and bowed, "Young lady, Master Ye is here to visit you. He is waiting for you in the main hall!"
"Ye Jingxiao? Why is he here at this time?" Ning Xiaotang immediately stood up from the main seat and walked out.
Banyue immediately followed and said, "Miss, it seems that Master Ye was quite anxious. At that time, Master Ye jumped off the carriage."
"Well, are the tea and snacks served yet?"
"Back girl, it's on."
Ning Xiaotang came to the main hall, and Quan Yue immediately retreated outside the door to guard it.
"Ye Jingxiao, why are you here?"
"Tangtang, are you okay?" Ye Jingxiao asked with concern in his eyes.
"I'm fine, why are you worried about me?"
"I dreamed that you were injured last night!" Ye Jingxiao didn't dare to think about how heartbroken he would be if Tangtang was really injured.
Ning Xiaotang immediately reached out and patted Ye Jingxiao's half-crouching shoulder: "I am Fuqi Tangtang, how could I get hurt so easily?"
"Okay, I'll be relieved as long as you're okay!" Ye Jingxiao then walked to the main seat and sat down, picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea.
He finally managed to sleep soundly today, but had a nightmare, which he was unwilling to accept in his heart.
At this time, Banyue came in again and reported: "Prince Chen, Princess, someone from the Xuefei Kingdom's eldest prince has sent an invitation."
Ye Jingxiao glanced at Ning Xiaotang, and they both saw each other's surprised expressions.
"Send him in to answer the call!" Ning Xiaotang said.
Banyue immediately bowed and retreated, and soon came forward with the servants of Xuefei Kingdom.
"The special envoy from the Xuefei Kingdom has come to invite Princess Roujia and Prince Chen to have a small gathering at the Yanyuquan Restaurant tomorrow."
Ning Xiaotang said with a smile, "I wonder who else the eldest prince is inviting besides us?"
The envoy replied, "Of course, there are also several noble ladies and gentlemen from Kyoto. This is a small banquet specially organized because Princess Lan didn't treat everyone to a good meal at her last family banquet. Prince Chen and Princess Lan are welcome to attend!"
"Okay, go back and tell your eldest prince that we will arrive on time!" King Chen Ye Jingxiao gave an answer that satisfied the envoy.
"In that case, thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Chen, and thank you, Princess. I will take my leave!"
After the envoy left, Ning Xiaotang turned to Ye Jingxiao and said, "Why did you agree to tomorrow's banquet so hastily?"
"Because I happen to want to see the eldest prince tomorrow. Since entering Kyoto, the eldest prince has always been low-key. This is the first time he is willing to host a banquet for everyone on behalf of Lan Yuehong."
At the banquet the next day
"Ye Jingxiao, is there some kind of cooperation between the Lan Bo Mansion and the eldest prince? Why can't I see the eldest prince looking at Lan Yuehong with loving eyes?"
"A look of love? Tangtang, do you know what a look of love is?" Ye Jingxiao immediately picked up the teacup to hide his panic.
"The eldest prince kept looking at Xiao Fenggu who was next to Lan Yuehong, and it seemed like he was in love with the type of woman Xiao Fenggu is." Ning Xiaotang said.
"Xiao Fenggu, didn't she also agree to marry the eldest prince as the adopted daughter of the Lan Bo Mansion?"
"But it seems that the eldest prince is not going after Lan Yuehong, but it would be more appropriate to go after Xiao Fenggu."
"We'll investigate this matter carefully after the banquet. If Tangtang has such thoughts, then the eldest prince and the Xiao family must have some strange things waiting for us to dig up."
Lan Yuehong immediately stood beside the eldest prince excitedly, as happy as a little bird, with an excited smile on her face.
However, Xiao Fenggu glanced at the eldest prince intentionally or unintentionally.
The two of them seemed to be communicating with each other through their eyes.
Master He immediately approached the Second Prince Xue Changrao and whispered, "Second Prince, this woman from the Xiao family seems to have a special relationship with the First Prince!"
"Master He, be careful with your eyes. Stare at the people you should stare at, and try not to look at the people you shouldn't look at!"
The Second Prince Xue Changrao thought to himself that the secret between the Xiao family and the Xuefei Kingdom must not be known to servants other than himself, as it concerns the lifeblood of the Xuefei Kingdom!
While the banquet was in progress, the eldest prince pulled Xiao Fenggu into a room and said, "Xiao Fenggu, shouldn't you have come here yourself?"
"Grand Prince, I've offered myself to you. Am I marrying you as the adopted daughter of the Lan Bo Mansion?"
Xiao Fenggu stood in the room without looking afraid.
"Is the treasure your father mentioned really in the Qingye Forest?"
"My Lord, if you trust us, you can go investigate. However, our Xiao family's requirement is that you must be the next monarch! And I must be the queen!"
The eldest prince Xue Changqing's face lit up and he said, "For a mere queen, I will definitely grant your wish!"
"Of course, our son will definitely be the future emperor of Xuefei Kingdom!"
This request made Xue Changqing clench her hands into fists. No wonder her father said that no matter what the Xiao family asked for, she must give her a satisfactory answer. What will happen next? Let's see whether the treasure provided by the Xiao family is true!
"Isn't this a natural thing? I can promise you!" The eldest prince thought for a while and agreed readily.
Then, Xiao Fenggu immediately took off her coat, revealing her smooth back, but there was a colorful picture in the center of her back.
There was a treasure map there, embroidered with an embroidery needle.
This scene happened to be seen clearly by Ning Xiaotang from the roof.
At this time, Ning Xiaotang saw the map of the Qingye Forest and immediately memorized it in her mind.
Then she bit her finger and quickly drew a mark on the hem of her skirt.
When Ning Xiaotang returned to her seat, she said she was not feeling well and left the party early.
On the way back home, "Ling Hu, prepare some dry food immediately. We are leaving Kyoto directly without returning home!"
Ling Hu immediately said: "Yes, girl!"
