Chapter 107 Su Beiqing comes out with a gun
Only then did Su Beiqing notice the gift box on the small eight-immortals table, and the corners of her lips unconsciously pursed.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly a filial child.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. I am now fine."
Xiao Chengqian nodded, then tilted his head to look at Du Zhihuan, his tone very gentle: "Hanhuan, were you scared today?"
Du Zhihuan shook her head. "Thank you, my dear brother, for your concern. I'm just a little disappointed that I couldn't keep my appointment with Princess Anyang. I haven't been to the rooftop of the Nine-Storied Tower for a long time. I wonder how the peonies I keep there are doing?"
Xiao Chengqian coaxed, "Once we catch the mastermind, I'll go with you to see it, okay?"
Du Zhihuan smiled slightly, "Okay."
Madam Du: "Sir, it's rare for you to come to our house. Why don't you have dinner here today?"
Xiao Chengqian agreed immediately.
If he wants to be successfully conferred the title of prince, he needs the support of Lord Du.
Tonight's dinner must leave a good impression in front of my father-in-law.
Du Zhihuan led Xiao Chengqian to the back garden and sent the maids away.
"Brother Crown Prince, has your father proposed to the Emperor that you inherit the throne?"
She didn't want to marry into the Rong Palace and become the Crown Prince's Consort, but at least she wanted to be the Princess of the Rong Prince.
Xiao Chengqian smiled and took out the white jade phoenix hairpin he had prepared long ago and gently inserted it into Du Zhihuan's hair.
"It's coming soon. My grandparents will be back in half a year. On my eighteenth birthday, I'll be granted the title of Prince Rong and inherit the entire Rong Prince's Mansion. When you marry him, you'll be the mistress of the mansion and responsible for paying the monthly salary to my father, mother, and grandparents. Are you happy?"
Du Zhihuan felt an inexplicable pressure in her heart when she saw that Xiao Chengqian didn't seem to be joking.
"Brother Crown Prince, I am only a third-rank noble lady now. Will Grandmother like me?"
Xiao Chengqian comforted her, "Don't be afraid. No matter what rank you are, your grandparents will love you. You should know that our engagement was sealed when your grandmother and my grandmother became close friends. It's because our fathers had no sisters, so this engagement fell on us."
Du Zhihuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Even so, I can't let my guard down. Your grandmother was a noble lady back then. I still have six months to work hard."
"You don't have to be so nervous." Xiao Chengqian saw Du Zhihuan's brows knitted together with worry, and reached out to stroke them. "My mother is a fourth-rank noble lady. My grandmother loves her very much and has sent her many good things over the years. You are the legitimate daughter of the Weiyuan Marquisate. My grandmother will definitely like you very much. Look, I really have good taste. You look very good in this phoenix hairpin..."

"Doctor Yuan, are you sure?"
Jiang Yunwan thought she had heard wrong. How could she be fertile?
She is almost infertile.
"My diagnosis was not wrong. If you don't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to come and see me."
Doctor Yuan thought of the masked girl he had seen today, "Madam, wait a minute."
Master Yuan wrote a prescription, handed it to Jiang Yunwan, and whispered, "As long as Madam drinks one bowl every night before going to bed for 21 consecutive days, she will definitely give birth to a son."
Jiang Yunwan was stunned. She hadn't seen Doctor Yuan for fifteen years, and his medical skills had actually regressed.
She was infertile and yet they gave her a prescription to give birth to a son!!!
"Okay, Doctor Yuan, I'll lend you my blessing."
Jiang Yunwan put the prescription into her sleeve, turned around and hurried away with Caiyun.
"Madam..." You haven't gotten the medicine yet!
Lord Yuan was very surprised to see the figure leaving in a hurry.
Isn’t the eldest daughter of the Jiang family here to ask for the secret recipe for having a child?
"Madam, Doctor Yuan looks like a Taoist immortal, so he shouldn't make a mistake in his diagnosis, right?"
Jiang Yunwan frowned. "Doctor Yuan is best at the art of health preservation and longevity. I'm afraid he's been busy focusing on these things over the years, and other aspects have obviously deteriorated. If I had an easy fertility physique, I would have given Sister Yu a bunch of brothers and sisters long ago."
Caiyun glanced at Jiang Yunwan's sleeve and asked, "Is the secret recipe for having a child that he prescribed still reliable?"
Jiang Yunwan took it out and glanced at it. "I'm not sure. Keep it for now. Maybe it will be useful in the future."
"Since Doctor Yuan is incapable, would you like to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"
Jiang Yunwan's face was filled with worry. "If I ask the imperial physician to come, won't that let my parents know that I can't have children?"
Caiyun thought for a moment and said, "Just say that I was injured when giving birth to the young lady, and now I want to give her a brother to protect her. Wouldn't that get me away with it?"
"Pa!" Jiang Yunwan slapped her head. "Look at my head. I'm so confused about my own affairs that I can easily make up lies!"
Jiang Yunwan returned to the Jiang Mansion and it was getting dark.
"Wanwan, why did you come back alone? Where's Mingen?"
Jiang Youya glanced behind Jiang Yunwan a few times.
"Ming En and Wen Can have something to discuss. They will be back before bedtime."
Jiang Youya thought to himself, could it be that he is busy with the private work he arranged?
He was looking forward to the method Song Mingen would submit the day after tomorrow.
Hopefully it will surprise him.
"Your mother and I felt uneasy at home today. We went to the Nine-Storied Tower today. We will go out again next month. Let the servants buy anything you need."
Jiang Yunwan glanced at Feng Yingying and the others, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Daddy."

After sending Xiao Chengqian away, Weiyuan Marquis Du Henian hurried back to the main courtyard.
"Madam, the person behind this may be difficult to find. A horse and a car collided two hundred meters away from the teahouse, and they almost hit the Jiang family."
Su Beiqing was surprised, "Jiang family?"
"According to the information gathered by our people below, the Jiang family also went to the Nine-Storied Tower today. Jiang Yunshu nearly had a miscarriage, and the commotion was so loud that most passersby's attention was focused on the Jiang family. The person behind the falling flowerpot had already fled. We'll need to send more people when Huanhuan travels from now on."
Su Beiqing asked, "Is the startled horse sure it was an accident?"
"It must be an accident. The Jiang family has kept a low profile over the years and they don't have any political enemies. No one would arrange for a startled horse to crash into a car to harm anyone."
Su Beiqing thought about it and said, "Okay, then how about adding four more secret guards for Huanhuan?"
Du Henian smiled and said, "I have already made arrangements, Madam. We have to attend the grand court meeting tomorrow, so let's go to bed early today."
It was late at night, and the guards at Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion were at their laxest.
A sharp arrow pierced the night sky and headed straight for Du Henian and Su Beiqing's bedroom.
Du Henian and Su Beiqing developed a habit at the border, and were suddenly awakened when danger came.
Du Henian was quick-eyed and quick-handed, catching the arrow that was hurtling towards him.
"Ma'am, be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, three masked men in black broke in through the window with swords in hand, slashing at Du Henian with deadly blows.
"You bold lunatic! You dare to attack me at night? You're courting death!"
Du Henian drew out the sharp sword hanging on the wall and stabbed at the three black-clad madmen.
Su Beiqing was worried that Du Henian's old arms and legs were no longer as strong as they used to be, so she pulled out the red tasseled spear hidden under the bed and walked out with the spear.
"Give me your life!"
The three men in black could not withstand the attack of Du Henian, a veteran who had fought in battles and killed enemies before.
Seeing Su Beiqing coming out with a gun, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away!
The speed was so fast that even Su Beiqing, who was known as the "flying on the grass", felt ashamed of himself.
Su Beiqing thought that the person who came must be the mastermind behind the incident, so she insisted on chasing them for three blocks with a gun.
"Madam, Madam, stop chasing me!"
Su Beiqing was exhausted at this moment and stopped.
Looking at the black-clad man going away, he felt angry and annoyed, "I am really old. I can't even catch up with three crazy people."
Du Henian quickly stepped forward to support Su Beiqing. "These three people are wild and seem to be from the underworld. They drugged our guards and knocked them down. I think the flowerpot today was their work."
"Hurry back! I'm afraid they're trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain and target our Huanhuan!"
"Don't worry, Huanhuan is fine."
"Brother, have you seen their appearance clearly?"
Wen Can stretched his neck to look at the two people walking away.
At this time, the three men in black came back with light skills, "Master, Weiyuan Hou is indeed a man who has fought and killed enemies in battle. If we were not good at escaping, we would have died at the hands of them tonight."
Song Mingen said, "You've worked hard. Go back and rest for two more days."
"Thank you, Master."
"Brother, the wife of Marquis Weiyuan is so powerful, but she was frightened to death today. I even suspect that the person she was during the day and at night are not the same person."
Song Mingen said, "Let's be thankful. If it weren't for the difficult labor and injuries sustained by the wife of Marquis Weiyuan when she gave birth to Sister Yu, I'm afraid we would all have died at her hands tonight."
"So these two are really Sister Yu's biological father and mother? You're not mistaken, are you?"
"Look up at the night."
Wen Can looked up and saw a full moon. His doubts instantly dissipated. His elder brother's night vision was much better than his.
"Then let's go back quickly. Sister-in-law is still waiting for your letter."
