The dinner in the palace was very sumptuous.
But there is a new prince Xuanyuan Ye.
Bai Yanyan glanced at him. Xuanyuan Ye looked much better, but he still looked weak. However, the prince's wind rabbit secretly ran over. Bai Yanyan fed it a spiritual herb and touched its head.
Then Fengtu went back.
After dinner, Bai Yanyan and her group left.
"Ye'er, how are you doing recently?"
Xuanyuan Ye coughed lightly upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for your concern, Father. I have been suffering from this illness for many years, and it has been recurring frequently in the cold weather lately."
"If I remember correctly, you haven't appointed a Crown Princess yet. I think this girl from the Bai family is not bad. She has learned medicine from the Hua family before. You can ask her to help you."
Xuanyuan Ye was slightly stunned for a moment, and after a while he responded, "I obey your command."
After the prince left, Emperor Yongding's expression finally darkened.
"Gu family, the previous venerable seemed to have the surname 'Gu', could it be that he is from the Gu family?"
"Both of his appearances were related to Bai Yanyan, and the Gu family is still so protective of Bai Yanyan. If this continues, I will be unable to touch the Bai family. No..." After a pause, Emperor Yongding slightly closed his eyes and ordered, "Come here."
As he finished speaking, two secret guards appeared out of thin air.
"Keep an eye on Bai Yanyan and the Gu family and find out their relationship."
"yes!"
After the secret guard left, a cute little round animal quietly ran out from a corner not far away.
Outside the palace.
The carriage of the Prince of Xichen was parked beside the palace road, and the servant of Xichen was waiting on the side. He stopped the carriage of Bai Yanyan and her friends and said that the prince wanted to see Bai Yanyan. Bai Yanyan asked her uncle and the others to go back first, and she went over.
Bai Tianhao and Cang Shu were not too worried. Gu Changtian opened the curtain of the carriage, stuck his head out, and squinted his eyes to inquire about the Prince of Xichen.
Well... he is not as good-looking as my ancestor, not as tall as my ancestor, not as strong as my ancestor, and he poses no threat!
"you…"
"I have no idea."
Before Bai Yanyan could even open her mouth, Prince Xichen said, "I don't know about Yan'er's situation."
Two years ago, when he followed the envoy to Qingyou, a family competition was being held in the imperial city, and the winner was Yan'er. She was dressed in red and full of confidence, which attracted his heart.
He had praised her in public and received her response. This time he came not to marry her, but just to express his love to her. However, the Emperor of Qingyou Kingdom said that he would grant the marriage, and the head of the Situ family said that Yan'er also liked him and agreed to the marriage.
Until that day when she was kidnapped, he saw her injured outside the Situ family's door with his own eyes, but he could not stop it and could only watch her get into trouble. In the past few days, he sent people to investigate. He asked the servants of the Situ family and also sent people to kidnap Situ Jiajia to ask about the true situation of Yan'er in the Situ family.
"If I had known Yan'er's situation earlier, I would not have allowed this situation to occur."
In front of Bai Yanyan, the Crown Prince of Xichen lost his aloofness from earlier in the palace. "I like her and I want her to be my Crown Princess, but I hope she's willing to do so."
"I will return her brother to her. I hope you won't tell her what happened today."
Prince Xichen left after saying this.
After Bai Yanyan returned, she told Situ Yan about this.
It's not that she doesn't keep her promise, it's just that compared to the Prince of Xichen, she still stands on Situ Yan's side, and this matter is Situ Yan's business, so she has to tell her and let her handle it herself.
Situ Yan felt a little complicated after hearing this.
She only thought of herself as a trading item, but she didn't expect that the Prince of Xichen was really kind to her.
"Prince Xichen should have made all the arrangements for you. You don't have to worry about your father. He wouldn't dare to do anything to you. But you, what do you want to do next? Do you want to stay in the Situ family, or leave with Prince Xichen? Or..."
"I don't know." Situ Yan was a little confused.
It was impossible for her to go back to the Situ family, but where else could she go? Her father would not let her go unless she really followed the Crown Prince of Xichen back to the Western Chen Kingdom, but she did not like the Crown Prince of Xichen.
But she couldn't protect her brother by herself.
"You don't have to think so much, just do what's in your heart, and leave the rest to me."
Bai Yanyan touched her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm very capable. I will protect you."
——
The next day.
Prince Xichen ordered someone to invite Bai Yanyan to the post station.
The Situ family brought Situ Yan's younger brother over, but his condition was not very good. No one in Xichen knew medical skills, so they had to call Bai Yanyan over and wanted to ask her to take him to the Hua family for a checkup.
"No, I can save you."
Bai Yanyan only took one look and knew that he was suffering from the effects of the poison.
The person sent here was indeed Situ Yan's younger brother. Although he had lost his ears, she recognized the boy's appearance at first sight, but his condition was very bad.
Bai Yanyan checked her pulse and her face suddenly darkened.
"Damn, I knew he had no good intentions."
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so this person has a dark heart."
The child was in poor health to begin with, and years of poisoning made his health even worse. Even though he took the antidote every month, he was still damaged, and now... the poison in his body has taken effect.
It's not that the poisoning has reached its due date, but that it has occurred because he was fed poison.
On the surface, this poison doesn't seem to be a big deal, and others can't detect it. It won't even kill him, but will just make him unconscious and asleep. However, after half a month, he will explode and die.
This situation was even more dangerous than Situ Yan's. Bai Yanyan called Chiyu to come and watch the door and not allow anyone to approach, and then she dealt with it for him.
His situation is a bit special. He has half demon blood in his body, and this poison is specifically aimed at him. Even she can only save his life. As for the poison in his body, it is a bit tricky.
Bai Yanyan was busy until late at night.
After making sure that he was safe, she prepared to go back and bring Situ Yan over, but when she opened the door, she saw Gu Yunzhou standing outside.
Chiyu had no idea where she had gone. Only Gu Yunzhou was standing outside the door. When he heard her open the door, he turned around and looked at her tenderly, "Are you done? Do you want to go home?"
"Why are you here?" Bai Yanyan was a little surprised.
"Chiyu called me over here. It said it was hungry."
Unreliable little chicken! Wait until she gets back to pull its feathers! Bai Yanyan muttered, walked up to Gu Yunzhou and took the initiative to hold his hand, but unexpectedly he actually avoided her.
Bai Yanyan: ???
"It says you like Situ Yan."
Gu Yunzhou pursed his lips and said with a hint of grievance: "Not only do you want to be with her, you also let her lean on your chest, and I haven't even leaned on it."
