Chapter 40 There is a problem with the dragon veins

The night-shining pearl was a gift that Xia Rongyu had prepared for Qiao Niannian.

He was originally struggling with how to give it to Qiao Niannian, and now it was just the right time to give it to her while buying the talisman.

Qiao Niannian didn't take it.

"This is too expensive."

Although she would accept money, she couldn't just accept it casually.

This night-shining pearl looked expensive, so its value must be high.

One of her talismans was not worth so much money.

Xia Rongyu was not surprised.

Sometimes, Qiao Niannian was very principled.

But the little girl was also simple.

So deceiving.

"My business is very troublesome, and I will need your help in the future. The extra money will be considered as the next fee."

Qiao Niannian thought about it and felt that it was right.

After all, Xia Rongyu's fate was changed, which was really tricky.

If it weren't for her, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have died at the age of fifteen.

Thinking of this, Qiao Niannian accepted it.

This night-shining pearl is as big as a baby's fist and has a warm glow. Who knows how much it can be sold for.

Afterwards, Qiao Niannian prepared to leave.

Xia Rongyu spoke at the right time.

"Do you know why evil things appeared in the palace?"

Qiao Niannian really didn't know.

The palace is suppressed by the emperor's dragon energy, and evil things dare not approach at all.

Last time, the emperor was cursed with blood, which led to the invasion of evil spirits into the palace because of a medium.

It's a bit strange that evil spirits invaded again this time.

"Why?"

"Because there is a problem with the dragon veins of the imperial mausoleum, and my father has asked the supervisor to deal with it."

"As for the result, I don't know yet."

Qiao Niannian couldn't help but be shocked.

This dragon vein is related to the fate of a dynasty and is also the location of the imperial mausoleum. If something goes wrong with the dragon vein, it is no small matter.

It seems that her last guess was correct, and someone is targeting the Great Xia Dynasty.

Seeing Qiao Niannian's expression change from shock to understanding, Xia Rongyu couldn't help but speak.

"Nian'er, what do you think about the problem with the dragon vein?"

Xia Rongyu's tone seemed to be a question, but it was firm, as if she knew that she must have some ideas.

Qiao Niannian pondered.

Logically speaking, she and Xia Rongyu are actually in the same boat now.

If she wants to protect her family, she needs to change the fate of the Marquis' Mansion.

The most fundamental reason for changing the Marquis' Mansion is to prevent the third prince from ascending the throne, so that the Marquis' Mansion can be peaceful.

Otherwise, even if the Marquis' Mansion is safe and sound now, when the Third Prince ascends the throne and persecutes the ministers, the Marquis' Mansion cannot change the tragic fate of the whole family.

Not to mention the heroine.

The heroine cares most about her own identity. The identity of a concubine's daughter is a thorn in her heart. Once there is a chance, the heroine will definitely get rid of the first wife and change her identity to a concubine's daughter.

And all of this can actually be changed.

That is to let Xia Rongyu live well.

As long as the prince is alive, the throne will have nothing to do with the Third Prince, and naturally there will be no persecution of loyal ministers and help the heroine to do evil.

As for the conspiracy against the Marquis' Mansion and the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Rongyu knows more and can take more precautions.

"You know that the Marquis' Mansion discovered the blood curse. That blood curse was placed on the beam of my mother's room by Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu's blood curse was given to her by a mysterious person, and this person must know Qin Sang."

"Although Qin Sang is dead, there is a master behind him. The Taoist priest who used evil objects to absorb your purple energy today also worships a statue called the master."

"All this may not be a coincidence."

"I suspect that the fundamental purpose of this master is to disrupt the world of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"He is playing a big game, and every important person is his chess piece."

"And I suspect that your fate was changed by this master."

Xia Rongyu was born with the Purple Star, and he will definitely be an emperor in the future. This master disrupted the Great Xia Dynasty and stole Xia Rongyu's fate. He wants to be the emperor himself!

"Originally, all of this was my guess, but now that the dragon veins are in trouble, it has further confirmed this point."

Qiao Niannian said it seriously and logically, and the appearance of a little adult did not look like a ten-year-old child at all.

Xia Rongyu suddenly wanted to tease Qiao Niannian.

He suddenly moved his face closer.

Being close, the skin on Qiao Niannian's face became a little whiter, her bright eyes were smart and cute, and the baby fat beside her cheeks looked soft.

Xia Rongyu couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch it.

It's so soft.

Qiao Niannian slapped Xia Rongyu's hand away.

"Don't pinch my face."

Xia Rongyu couldn't help but smile when he saw that the little girl's bright eyes were only serious, without any shyness.

Sure enough, she is still a child.

He leaned back and distanced himself from Qiao Niannian.

"I just think Nian'er is very cute."

"Can I be your brother?"

"I will protect you in the future, including the Marquis' Mansion."

Qiao Niannian's eyes moved.

She still remembered the first time, she had to agree to a condition just to help him deliver something.

Now he actually took the initiative to be her brother.

And took the initiative to promise to protect the Marquis' Mansion.

A big golden leg for free.

Qiao Niannian certainly would not refuse.

Besides, calling him brother would not lose a piece of meat.

"Hello, Prince brother."

Xia Rong and her sister have several.

Born by a concubine in the palace.

He has no shortage of sisters.

Moreover, the queen gave birth to the tenth princess, who is Xia Rongyu's biological sister.

He has heard his sisters call him brother, but it is different from what Qiao Niannian called him.

Qiao Niannian's brother seems to be particularly sweet.

Xia Rongyu patted Qiao Niannian's head.

"Good boy."

"Brother is giving you a meeting gift."

Xia Rongyu took out a few deeds and handed them to Qiao Niannian: "This is the deed of a manor in the suburbs. The scenery there is nice. You can stay there for a few days."

This deed is for a Hundred Flowers Garden in the suburbs, and there is a natural hot spring. The tenth princess had pestered the prince brother for a long time, but Xia Rongyu refused.

Now, he gave it to Qiao Niannian.

Before Qiao Niannian could say anything, Xia Rongyu stuffed the deed into her hand.

By the way, he invited Qiao Niannian to have dinner together.

"Nian'er, I haven't had dinner yet. Do you want to eat with your brother?"

Qiao Niannian held the night-shining pearl in her left hand and the land deed in her right hand.

This was too much, and it was hard for her to refuse!

Although she had already eaten in the evening, she could still eat more.

The palace servants acted quickly. Xia Rongyu gave the order, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a large table of sumptuous food was neatly arranged.

Xia Rongyu asked all the palace servants to go down, and then called Qiao Niannian out.

Qiao Niannian looked at the food on the table, and her eyes lit up.

These were some of her favorite dishes she had eaten in the palace last time.

Qiao Niannian was supposed to accompany Xia Rongyu to eat, but Xia Rongyu didn't eat much herself, but kept helping Qiao Niannian pick up dishes.

Qiao Niannian's belly was swollen from eating so much.

Xia Rongyu fed her until she was full, then stopped.

"Nian'er, you can come to the East Palace to find me anytime you want to eat in the future."

Qiao Niannian felt that she had misunderstood Xia Rongyu before. The prince was a good person.

He recognized her as a sister.

He sent her a gift for meeting her.

He also let her come over anytime to eat delicious food.

Qiao Niannian decided that she must solve Xia Rongyu's problem as soon as possible.

Qiao Niannian went back after eating and drinking enough. She felt a little bloated in the belly, so she didn't let the maid follow her. She strolled to the back garden to digest

the food. Digestion was not a big deal, but she found something interesting.

She saw a dark shadow going to the yard where Aunt Xu was imprisoned.

Qiao Niannian didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain, so she followed it directly.
