When Qian Sheng came to his senses, Long Bo was already gone. Remembering that the Prince was still at Xueyuan, he had no choice but to go and sound him out.
Upon entering the courtyard, they discovered that the person waiting at the gate was not Leng Xue, but another familiar-looking guard.
"Leng Mo greets Your Excellency!" Leng Mo called out loudly as he saw Qian Sheng approaching.
"No need for formalities, no need for formalities. Are Your Highness and Princess Consort resting?" Qian Sheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, praying that he hadn't disturbed the two.
Leng Mo cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "Your Excellency, the Prince is currently teaching the Princess to play chess in the room. What can I do to report to you?"
"No, no, no, it's alright, it's alright!" Qian Sheng forced a smile and waved his hands repeatedly. Since he wasn't disturbed, that was good, that was good. Thinking this, he turned around and quickly left the courtyard.
After confirming that the person had gone far away, Leng Mo pushed open the door and went in: "Master, the Prime Minister has left."
Um!
Xuan Mingye waved his hand and glanced at Leng Yu sitting opposite him. Leng Yu understood and took off her clothes, then went to the next room to change and restore her face.
...
Qian Youxue didn't want the Su family to know too much about her, so she and Yunhe both wore masks when they went. General Su knew Leng Xue, a confidant of the War King. Upon hearing the War King's intentions, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude for the War King's thoughtfulness, and then, with complete trust, allowed Qian Youxue to administer the acupuncture.
Before administering acupuncture to the old man, Qian Youxue carefully examined his old ailments. The old man had suffered many old wounds from his battles, but compared to his grandmother's internal injuries, they were much easier to treat.
Having roughly figured out what was going on, she first used acupuncture to seal the old man's acupoints, creating the illusion that he was paralyzed in bed. She would then treat his old ailments when she came next time.
Two hours later, Leng Xue led them away from the Su residence and returned to the Qian family as quickly as possible.
Qian Youxue searched carefully but couldn't find Sai Miaoshou. Had that bastard left or gone into the Qian family?
Oops!
Will something bad happen to Bowen?
Thinking it over, she leaped over the wall and returned to the Qian family.
"Master, please be careful!" Seeing that his master was too anxious, Yunhe quickly chased after him.
Back at the Snow Garden, she sensed a powerful aura emanating from it. Looking up, she saw the lights were on in the room and strode inside.
"The princess is back!" Uncle Long looked up, holding a cup.
Upon seeing Uncle Long, Qian Youxue immediately felt relieved. With him around, even the most skilled healer was no match for her. However, she hadn't expected Uncle Long to give her such a generous gift.
"Uncle Long, you've arrived!" she said respectfully as she walked over and sat down.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Xuan Mingye poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Qian Youxue glanced at him, took the tea, and ignored him. She was rather puzzled by Uncle Long's sudden appearance at the Qian family home. Before she could even speak, someone was thrown in.
This is... Kida!
Hehe... Hahaha...
Seeing Kida tied up like a dumpling and thrown on the ground, she happily drank her tea.
"Your Highness, the person is in your hands now. You can decide what to do with him. It's getting late, and I should head back now. Oh, by the way, that guy Sai Miaoshou is still outside. If needed, I can bring him in for you." The old man said casually, then looked at the princess.
Qian Youxue hesitated for a moment. She had originally planned to deal with Sai Miaoshou slowly. Now it seemed she had to find the mastermind behind the Qian family's downfall as soon as possible. She stood up and bowed deeply to Uncle Long: "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Long. This person will be of great use to me!"
“Okay, wait!” Uncle Long said, standing up.
"Uncle Long, could you secretly bring this person back to the palace? After giving Grandmother acupuncture tomorrow, Youxue wants to go back." Qian Youxue cupped her hands to Uncle Long again.
"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities. I'll just take him back!" Long Bo was delighted to see the princess showing him such respect.
Qian Youxue saw Long Bo to the door, her mind elsewhere on the Qian family's affairs, and somehow ended up sitting down in front of a chair.
"Youxue!" Xuan Mingye tenderly took Qian Youxue's hand.
Qian Youxue was startled and tried to pull her hand back, but found that she couldn't pull it back at all, so she could only glare at him fiercely.
"Don't be so resistant to me. I will only help you, not harm you." Xuan Mingye pulled her into his arms, and sensing her unease, he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Qian Youxue's face was dark. They were together purely because they each had their own needs, and even if they had slept together, their initial intentions wouldn't change. She didn't like owing others, and she disliked being tied down by anyone. A domineering and alluring man like him, though extremely tempting, wasn't suitable for someone like her.
However, the men here all have multiple wives and concubines, and someone of his noble status would naturally be no exception. When he has many women around him, he won't be as clingy to her as he is now.
But when I thought of this, I felt an emptiness in my heart for some reason.
"What are you thinking about all day long with your little head?" Xuan Mingye affectionately poked her forehead, hugged her tightly and said, "I didn't understand before. After Father Emperor banished Mother Consort to the Cold Palace, Mother Consort still deeply loved Father Emperor. I'm afraid that even at the moment of her death, she did not forget that heartless man."
Qian Youxue stiffened, not expecting him to tell her these things. There were many versions of Xuan Mingye's past circulating in the martial arts world, and she didn't know which were true and which were false.
Seeing that Qian Youxue remained silent, Xuan Mingye continued, "Sometimes I think, if that old hag hadn't poisoned my mother, she would surely be living a peaceful and unassuming life like Consort Lan."
Consort Lan, isn't that Prince Xian's mother?
I've heard that Consort Lan is gentle and generous, and never tries to please the Emperor. It is precisely because of this that she has survived to this day.
Qian Youxue listened attentively, wondering what he was really trying to say.
It was rare to see him with such a sorrowful expression, his eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little sore. It was clear that his mother was the deepest wound in his heart.
call……
Xuan Mingye felt a pain in his throat as he thought about the past. He looked down at the obedient Youxue and kissed her forehead: "Do you remember when I said you were chosen by my mother?"
Qian Youxue naturally remembered this nonsense; it wasn't just empty talk.
"I knew you wouldn't care." Xuan Mingye glared at Qian Youxue unhappily, then continued, "The Spirit Scroll is a treasure of my mother's family. Many people don't know that although it's rare, it's passed down only to daughters. If the inheritor has a son, the Spirit Scroll will guide him to find his other half, who will also be the inheritor of the Spirit Scroll."
Qian Youxue sat up straight, pushed his hand away, and sat on the chair next to him. Then, she rolled up her sleeve and glanced at the mark on her arm.
