Ling Mo's face reddened, he was about to be mocked without any martial arts. He said unhappily, "Princess, you can give me a secret guard! The dark guards can protect me just the same. "

Chu Qingyao glared at him. With such a shameless attitude, she had no choice but to admire him. Ling Mo, I will discuss this with your Prince before I give you my answer. "

When Ling Mo heard that he wanted to discuss with the King, his face immediately sunk and begged, "Royal Consort, just pretend I didn't say anything. Don't tell the King about this."

Last time, he and the wangfei had asked for five million, and the prince had given him quite a lot of trouble. Originally, he didn't even need to follow Dong Yi to escort her, but with a single order from his lord, he had bitterly ran to the far north.

Chu Qingyao smiled at him in a threatening manner, but did not agree. When Ling Mo left, with a bitter face, it made Chu Qingyao feel very good.

"Princess, are you really going to tell the Prince about what happened today?" Hong Tan asked.

Chu Qingyao did not say anything, but in her heart, she was trying to figure out how to use the [Anesthetic Needle]! Ling Mo did not need it at all, because that thing would evaporate in the air. And his medical system was like a static space, what things were put in and what they were taken out to be, that was to say, the shelf life would be infinitely extended. Besides, in order to increase the effectiveness of the medicine, she had added other ingredients.

It was now October, and the cool autumn wind was blowing. Chu Qingyao picked a few lotus seeds and peeled a lot of lotus seeds, letting Hong Tan boil the lotus seed porridge at night. When the two of them returned, Chu Yunmu had already left, leaving only He Lanxi behind.

"Where's my big brother?" she asked.

"He has something on. He wants me to tell you that he'll come visit you another day." Because he had conversed with Chu Yunmu before, He Lanxi's mood was much better.

Chu Qingyao pulled her to sit down. "The empress dowager only took this move to revive her. Don't worry, she won't have that wish. The ministers were not idiots, how could they let her suffer like this? Besides, the princes have all grown up and their talents are extraordinary. Which one of them is not better than the emperor who is paralyzed on his bed? "

"But now there's only the Fifth Prince left?" He Lanxi was a little sad.

The Second Prince and Third Prince were still alive, so Xuanyuan Zhi was sure that he had told the great general He Lan.

"You don't have to worry about that. The third prince will be back soon." In front of He Lanxi, there was nothing to not say. In any case, the third prince would be able to show his face in a few days.

He Lanxi cried tears of joy. She was the general's daughter, no one could understand the urgent need for national stability more than her. Her father seemed to have aged more than ten years. If no one succeeded the throne, the country would fall into chaos. If the country fell into chaos, the foreign enemies would invade. Even the most valiant and peerless general would not want to see the citizens displaced. There would be no return if there were soldiers.

"Chu Qingyao, I've lived for eighteen years, but I've never been as happy as I am now." Tears still hung from He Lanxi's smiling face, "Quickly tell me, are the other princes also alright?

"The Second Prince went to the Yunnan. The Fifth Prince's whereabouts are unknown." Chu Qingyao's heart felt heavy. Sooner or later, the Yunnan would be in trouble!

Hearing that the Second Prince was fine, He Lanxi was a little excited. She thought that her son had died and only the Seventh Prince was left in the capital. Who would have thought that the other two would also be alive.

"Based on what you said, the Fifth Prince must have his own talent as well." She smiled happily. This was good, as long as the princes were still alive, then the ministers would not support a emperor who could not even manage his own actions.

Then surely no one would listen to the empress dowager's words.

Once the worry in his heart was put down, he started to get excited, "Chu Qingyao, in the days that we've been back, you haven't gone to see Qian Yan. Choose a day when you have time, and we'll go see her together."

"Okay, wait for my arrangements." Chu Qingyao saw the space between her eyebrows widen, and intentionally said, "He Lanxi, when my big brother marries you back home, you will be my sister-in-law. Being able to have a princess sister-in-law is something that I have enjoyed for many lifetimes."

He Lanxi's face blushed slightly as she glared at her. "Stop spouting nonsense, who's your sister-in-law?"

Chu Qingyao rolled her eyes at her and curled her lips, "He Lanxi, just pretend! He was obviously overjoyed, but he still refused to admit it. However, if you want to marry my big brother, you have to first think of a way to convince your father. " A military general was very straightforward. If he knew something was right, it would be difficult to turn back.

All these years, the number of warriors who had died in the Falcon Kingdom could not be counted. If they wanted General He Lan to accept their daughter's marriage to the Falcon Kingdom Royal Family, then there must be a lot of twists and turns in the process.

When she finished speaking, He Lanxi's face was filled with worry, but she quickly laughed, "Even if my father disagrees, the one who should be worried is not me, but Yun Mu. He can't marry his wife, what does it have to do with me!"

Chu Qingyao burst out laughing, this He Lanxi was truly generous, he did not hide anything and continued to like Chu Yunmu. I really hope that big brother can move General He Lan sooner and become the wife of the man he loves.

While they were speaking, Hong Tan had already finished making the lotus seed porridge and gave each of them a bowl. The two of them slowly drank as Qi Jue walked in from the outside and called out to their consort.

When Chu Qingyao saw that it was him, she immediately called for Hong Tan to fill another bowl. Qi Jue shook his head and said, "Esteemed wangfei, this subordinate has something to report, I just received news from the palace. The Emperor has ordered that seven days later, Lord Left Prime Minister will marry Beigong Ziyuan, and the Grand Princess will marry out of the Imperial Palace."

"The Emperor is already like that, you still want to win Beigong Ziyuan over?" He Lanxi was immediately furious when he heard this. No matter how strong the Grand Princess of another country was, it was useless for her to be arrogant in front of the Tian Qiong.

Chu Qingyao sneered, "The Emperor is putting on a show to tell everyone that he wants to form an alliance with the Cherokee."

"Alliance? Is it really that easy to take advantage of the Cherokee? " He Lanxi was extremely angry, the Emperor was truly indulging in wild fantasies, eighty percent of the time, Yuwen Jingrui stood in front of him, saying that he would help him protect the throne, he even dared to believe it.

"If they want to get married, we can't stop them. At most, we can give them some money as gifts." Chu Qingyao was not as angry as He Lanxi. Even if the emperor did not order it, Beigong Ziyuan had still stayed in the Zuo Xiang Fu.

As long as Chu Yiqun still wanted to climb onto the big tree that was Beigong Ziyuan, he would definitely tie this woman up beside him. Back then, in order to quickly stabilize his position in the imperial court, he was willing to marry his pregnant mother into the imperial court. From this, it could be seen that he was a petty person who only wanted to profit.

In order to achieve this goal, he could bear all the humiliation and bear all the hardships. He could use any means necessary to achieve this goal.

He Lan sighed, taking a sip of the lotus seed congee. "I really didn't expect the Left Premier to be so charming. He's already over a hundred years old, and he can even marry a princess." As he finished speaking, he felt that he had said too much. No matter what, Chu Qun was still Chu Qingyao's father, so he could only shut his mouth in embarrassment.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Chu Qingyao coldly laughed, "Yun Mu and I are not his biological parents, and I do not have any feelings for him. You can also find out what he did to me back then, so you don't have to worry about me if you want to say anything."

He Lanxi was so shocked that he couldn't say a word after pointing at her for a long time. If Chu Qingyao said that she was not the biological child of phase of Chu, then wouldn't that mean that her mother was not a thief? No matter what, she was still an unmarried girl. The word 'thief' caused her face to turn red.

"That year, he asked my mother for a marriage. My mother clearly told him that he was already pregnant, but he still agreed. This was the only reason for the subsequent wedding." After the incident with Hua Qian Yan, Chu Qingyao felt that He Lanxi was a straightforward person, he could be trusted as a friend, he deserved to be befriended deeply, thus she told her the grudges of her life.

I know why he agreed. He must have wanted to use the power of Han." I heard from my father that Chu Yuegong was a youngster with no foundation at all. " He paused for a moment, then said unhappily, "This is a classic example of breaking bridges after crossing a river. This kind of person is not kind, no one can understand him.

Chu Qingyao's expression was calm. She did not want to talk about the things that happened that year, no matter who was right or wrong. She had a question in her heart. How did her mother die? Why did he disappear at such a young age? Natural death or deliberate murder?

The next time I see my grandmother, I have to ask her.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, He Lanxi got up and was about to leave, but Chu Qingyao kept her to eat, shaking her head, "I need to go back quickly and tell my father the good news that I don't need to enter the palace."

"Princess, the great general is in the prince's study. He hasn't left yet!" Qi Jue spoke up.

He Lanxi sat back down and urged, "Hong Tan, hurry up and prepare dinner. Dinner was already prepared, so the two of them sat down to eat together. Before she could finish eating, Seventh Jue came in and said that the Great General had finished his discussion, so He Lanxi put down his chopsticks and chased after her father.

Chu Qingyao would be bored eating it all by herself, so tell Hong Tan to leave. Just as he finished cleaning up, Xuanyuan Zhi came over. Chu Qingyao asked him, "Have you eaten yet? If you didn't get Hong Tan to do it for you. "

"Simply stir-fry two dishes will do." Xuanyuan Zhi sat down wearily. From the looks of it, he had been discussing with the ministers all the way until now. He looked around the room and felt that there were too few servants in Blue Luan Courtyard, so he said, "A Chu, tomorrow I will get the butler to send a few more over. If you don't trust them, let them do some menial work outside."

"I have a plan here, the more people there are, the worse it will be. Furthermore, normally it's just Hong Tan and I, so there's not much work to do. Chu Qingyao did not agree.

Xuanyuan Zhi did not force her, and asked her: "Have you been informed about the matter of the Left Premier's marriage?"

"Yes." She sneered, "Let the imperial family arrange the marriage for him. The imperial palace is determined to pull Beigong Ziyuan towards its own side! In the future, I really need to be careful of her. "

"No worries, once we enter the Zuo Xiang Fu, she will be the wife of the Minister of the Left. She won't be any better than you." If she dares to be naughty, you can do it to death. This King is not even afraid of the Emperor, so why would I be afraid of a princess from another country? " Xuanyuan Zhi said with a face that seemed to say that this duke is your backer.

Chu Qingyao gave a knowing smile. So this was what it felt like to be used to being treated like this by others.

After the food was done, Chu Qingyao personally passed the chopsticks to him, and told Hong Tan that she would not need to attend to him anymore. Once Hong Tan left, she immediately took out a bottle of poison that she had concocted.

"What kind of medicine is this?" Xuanyuan Zhi remembered that every time she saved someone, she would always take something out like this.

"Poison." She laughed, "Today, Ling Mo was asking me for a silver needle concealed weapon, but the medicine on it will immediately evaporate when it is applied outside. If he wants to study this, he might as well use the bottle of poison in my hands. Since he doesn't need to be courteous to his enemies, I will kill one of them. "
