The Li family of Northern Yan?
There was a Li family in the south of Qi, and there was also a Li family in the state of Yan.
He Yunxiao subconsciously recalled the original owner's memories.
In the original owner's extremely vague memories, information about the Yan Kingdom and the current Yan emperor was found.
This generation of Yan emperors appears to have come from the Li clan of the Yan state. In other words, this generation of Yan emperors was surnamed Li. Their specific given name, however, is unknown.
The royal systems of Yan and Qi differed. Qi was ruled by the Meng family, a dynasty that passed down through generations. Yan, however, was ruled by three families: one became the emperor, and the other two offered their wives as queens. Each subsequent generation had to change surnames to assume the throne, and the other two families would again offer their wives as queens.
After years of intermarriage, the three surnames of Yan—Li, Jiang, and Ren—were essentially one family…
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
The original owner was a playboy who didn't care about the Qi Kingdom's political situation, let alone the Yan Kingdom. He knew a few bits and pieces of information about the Yan Kingdom, but they were all stored in the corners of his memory, and He Yunxiao usually didn't pay any attention to them.
Now, after being reminded by Nan Zhu's wife, He Yunxiao recalled the events and realized that something was seriously wrong!
The surname "Li" is one thing, but why is there also the surname "Jiang"?
Given the typical format of novels, I doubt my heroine, Sister Jiang, will have a "Queen of Yan" backstory!
Although Sister Jiang comes from an ordinary family, we can't be sure that her father is really an ordinary person! What if he's some young master of the Jiang family who has been lying low for thirty years, only to discover that his daughter is living in a doghouse, and then returns in triumph?
He Yunxiao became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it.
Sister Jiang is a leading lady in terms of beauty; her parents must be celestial beings descended from heaven. This is practically the template for a fallen royal heir!
Damn!
It really could be the Empress of Yan!
Someone's trying to steal the female lead from me?
The Emperor of Yan, is that right?
So you call yourself Emperor Yan?
If you dare to make a move on my sister Jiang, I'll lead my troops to Yan and wipe you out!
Putting aside the surname "Jiang," He Yunxiao felt that the very idea that the surname Li belonged to the royal family of the Yan Kingdom was strange.
Because in the State of Qi, Meng Qingqian, who has half of the Li family bloodline, is in power.
If the Yan Emperor were also surnamed Li, wouldn't the entire empire fall into the hands of the Li family? Fortunately, Meng Qingqian is a woman, and her surname is "Meng," not "Li." Moreover, the young Qi Emperor is still alive, so the empire won't be handed over to the Li family of Jiangnan.
He Yunxiao still remembered that the author of this book had confidently guaranteed that it would be a single female lead, but the readers at the time didn't believe him and even asked the author for his address to come visit him. He Yunxiao didn't believe it at first either, until he transmigrated into the book and, sure enough, the bombshell of Chu Xiaoxiao was dropped.
Now this book has introduced another "Li" couple, Qi Yan and Li. Is this dog of an author hiding some foreshadowing?
"Rou'er, what is the relationship between the Li family of Jiangnan and the Li family of Northern Yan?"
Meng Qingrou shook her head. "It's alright. The two families separated a long, long time ago."
He Yunxiao thought about it and agreed. If there really was a connection, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have been able to marry into the palace. It was probably just a coincidence.
"Rou'er, tomorrow you will come with me out of the palace to the Marquis's residence to see how Jiang Wuyou's illness is."
Meng Qingrou hesitated and said, "Okay, but my sister is coming over tomorrow afternoon."
Meng Qingqian? What does she want with Nan Zhu? (Biquge)
He Yunxiao said, "Then let's go there in the morning. I'll pick you up early in the morning, and after we go to the Marquis's residence to see the doctor, we can go shopping and buy some clothes, shoes, ceramic animals, and the like."
Meng Qingrou's eyes lit up immediately when she heard about the ceramic animals.
The things I bought on my last shopping trip are still sitting on the bookshelf. A whole row of chubby dogs, frogs, sheep...
Meng Qingrou seemed to remember something and said, "He Yunxiao, Nanzhu will prepare the medicine for you right away."
He Yunxiao reminded, "There is also an antidote to suppress 'Autumn Cicada'."
Meng Qingrou said, "The antidote for Qiu Chan needs some medicinal herbs to be prepared tomorrow. However, Nan Zhu hasn't treated Miss Jiang yet, so we need to see her first before preparing the medicine."
He Yunxiao nodded and said, "Okay."
Anyway, the cicadas don't start larvae for another month, so there's no rush.
Meng Qingrou started working in the pharmacy of Linxuan Palace. She was mainly busy preparing the antidote for the new version of the Soul-Devouring Pill for He Yunxiao.
Watching his wife, Nan Zhu, running around the large pharmacy, He Yunxiao volunteered, "Rou'er, what medicinal herbs do you need? I can get them for you."
"The Flower That Stops the Waves"
He Yunxiao scratched his head.
What does the Zhilan Flower look like?
"It's purple, and the stamens are white."
Where should I put it?
"On your right, the third shelf, the fifth row, the fourth box from the left."
"oh."
He Yunxiao "swiftly" delivered the "Zhilan Flower" to Meng Qingrou, who was grinding medicinal powder.
Upon seeing what He Yunxiao was holding, Meng Qingrou said helplessly, "Young Master He, this is a late-blooming flower."
He Yunxiao was stunned. How could he have picked up the wrong one?
Meng Qingrou sighed and said, "Take the South Pearl yourself."
Feeling discouraged, He Yunxiao immediately volunteered again, "I'll help you grind the medicine."
Meng Qingrou nodded. There couldn't be any more mistakes when grinding the medicine, could there?
So Meng Qingrou got up to find the medicine, and He Yunxiao was in charge of grinding it.
It must be said that He Yunxiao, as a martial artist, does have a natural advantage in doing such basic work. He polished it both quickly and well this time.
The medicinal materials were all ground into extremely fine powder.
Meng Qingrou returned with the new medicinal herbs and asked He Yunxiao, "Where did you put the withered dragon grass from earlier?"
He Yunxiao looked at the piles of medicinal powder in front of him and asked blankly, "What is this 'Deaf-Crying Grass'?"
After that, the helpful He Yunxiao was invited by his wife, Nanzhu, to sit on a small stool to the side.
