Chapter 21

On the second day, Ji Qingxue and Nan Gongyan set off to return to the palace, but Ji Qingling was the only one who saw them off.

Ji Lin quietly asked Aunt Yu beside her, "Where's Linger?"

Aunt Yu's expression changed slightly, and she said vaguely: "Ling'er, Ling'er, she suffered from the cold yesterday and was bedridden, and she really can't get up today."

"Is it so seriously ill? Have you ever asked the doctor to visit the mansion?"

Aunt Yu nodded lightly: "I've already seen it, and you'll be fine after taking a few doses of medicine, so you don't have to worry about it."

Thinking about last night, when Ji Qingling returned to the east courtyard, her expression was dull, and her whole body was stained with blood, which almost scared her to death.

She hurriedly took her to her room to ask what happened, if something happened.

Ji Qingling stared at Aunt Yu, and she said, "Mom, I'm going to kill Ji Qingxue!"

Aunt Yu was startled by her words, and quickly covered her mouth: "It's fine for us to talk about it normally, but now that Prince Rui is here, if these words accidentally reach his ears, we will There is trouble!"

Ji Qingling waved her hand away, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of, anyway, he already knows."

Aunt Yu looked at her suddenly: "What did you say?"

So Ji Qingling told her all the loud things that night, and after listening, Aunt Yu sighed: "Ling'er, you are usually smart and intelligent, why do you do stupid things!"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Ji Qingling can't care about much anymore.

"Mother, we have to kill her, because she was also there in the fire that year, and she saw everything."

Ji Qingling's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which knocked Aunt Yu speechless for a long time. .

She frowned, and it took a long time before she spoke: "You said she knew everything about that year?"

"Yes."

"Then it seems that Ji Qingxue really can't stay any longer." Aunt Yu said to Ji Qingling, "Ling'er, she is now the legitimate Princess Rui, and you and I can't help her, so you have to find someone who can get along with her." People who are against the court by Prince Rui, use his hand to eradicate them in one fell swoop."

"You mean, prince?"

Aunt Yu nodded: "Now the emperor's five sons are only left, the crown prince, Prince Ping, and Prince Rui. Although Prince Ping and Prince Rui are not siblings, he loves Chong Rui very much. So now the only one you can rely on is the prince. gone."

Ji Qingling gritted her teeth, as long as she could kill Ji Qingxue, she would do anything.

……

Aunt Yu came back to her senses, the carriage carrying Ji Qingxue and Nan Gongyan had gone far away, she looked at the direction they left with gloomy eyes, Ji Qingxue, soon, I will send you down to see your mother!

Picking Star Pavilion.

Nan Gongyan said to Ji Qingxue seriously: "Pteris chinensis, there is a whereabouts!"

Ji Qingxue raised the eyebrows: "Really?"

"Mu Qing told me yesterday that there was news from people in the palace that although there are no these two herbs in the medicine storehouse in the palace, the people sent out have found out the whereabouts of the Pteris sativa."

"Where?"

Ji Qingxue seemed very excited, and she had only seen about Pteris vulgaris in a tattered pharmacopoeia, and had never seen its true appearance.Unexpectedly, Nan Gongyan actually found this rare medicinal material which is rare in a hundred years.

Nan Gongyan spit out two words softly: "Qi Guo."

In the northwest of the state of Qi, there is a place called Liusheng Valley, where the most mysterious ethnic group lives, called the Wuling clan. It is said that the emperor Gaozu of Qi state is from the Wuling clan.

People of the Wuling clan never care about worldly affairs.But once the Wuling clan members appear in the world, they will have the ability to overthrow the world, so the Wuling clan members are the talents of unicorns that all countries are vying to win over.

And the Pteris vulgaris is the treasure of the Wuling clan.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly." Ji Qingxue's eyes were shining brightly. It is the lifelong wish of many doctors to see Pteris genus in their lifetime!
Nan Gongyan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Don't just go, it's safer to stay in the palace."

Ji Qingxue slapped the table, her eyes widened: "Without me, even if you find the Phoenix-tail grass, you won't be able to bring it back in its entirety. If you use the wrong method, the Phoenix-tail grass will lose its medicinal properties and be useless."

Nan Gongyan stared at Ji Qingxue and was in trouble for a while.

In the end, Ji Qingxue took down Nangongyan with arrogance, just because she said: Are you really not afraid that I will tear down your palace?

Nan Gongyan was speechless, this woman really threatened her addiction.

But what she said is indeed reasonable, if the fern tail grass loses its medicinal properties, what's the use of taking it back!
"Of course I can take you with me, but before going to the Wu Lingzu, we have to go to one place first."

"where?"

Nan Gongyan said flatly: "Xingyun Villa."

Ji Qingxue was at a loss, what is Xingyun Villa?
Three days later, Nan Gongyan and Ji Qingxue set foot on the road to Qi.

After walking south for half a month, Nan Gongyan and the others finally arrived at Xingyun Villa.

"Brother Nangong!" Lin Yuan greeted him with a smile on his face, "When the servant came to report the letter, I thought it was some blind person who dared to pretend to be you."

Nan Gongyan patted him on the shoulder: "I'm passing by on business this time, so I stopped by to see you."

Lin Yuan, the owner of Xingyun Villa, was a good friend of Nan Gongyan when he was traveling abroad.

"This must be my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is well and she is going down to Linyuan." After speaking, she gave Ji Qingxue a warm smile.

Ji Qingxue nodded, and responded softly: "Ji Qingxue."

While the three were sitting and chatting, suddenly a woman came in and said as she walked, "I heard that there is a distinguished guest in the mansion, why didn't the owner inform me? I'm so late, I'm so rude!"

A gust of fragrant wind hits the nostrils, and the person who comes is Lin Yuan's wife, Shui Wuxin.

Seeing her appear, Lin Yuan frowned slightly, and said in a bad tone, "What are you doing here?"

Shui Wuxin sat down, and regardless of Lin Yuan's attitude, she just greeted Ji Qingxue and the others with a smile, as if she had known them for a long time.

"Hello, both of you. I'm Shui Wuxin, Lin Yuan's wife." She emphasized the word "Madam".

The servant came and said something in Lin Yuan's ear, Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly, he stood up abruptly, and said to Nan Gongyan: "Brother Nangong, I have to go out for something urgent, you have to come here once in a while. Stay here for a few more days, and let's have a few drinks when I come back."

Looking at the back of Lin Yuan leaving in a hurry, Shui Wuxin, who was still smiling, suddenly darkened his eyes.

"Qingxue is here for the first time, Madam, can you take Qingxue around?"

Shui Wuxin was startled, then nodded slowly.

Luyuan.

"Madam was not interested along the way, as if she had something on her mind, but was it because of the owner?" Ji Qingxue had been paying attention for a long time, since Lin Yuan went out, Shui Wuxin had been depressed all the time.

In fact, Ji Qingxue was not a nosy person at all, but just now she saw a totem-like mark on Shui Wuxin's wrist.

She felt inexplicably familiar, and then she remembered that her mother also had such a totem.

Maybe she knows about her mother's past.

Shui Wuxin gave a bitter smile, and her lips moved: "The girl really knows how to read people's hearts."

She knew that there was only one person who could make Lin Yuan go out in such a hurry.

She raised her finger and pointed to the plaque of Lu Yuan, and said, "Miss, do you know why this place is called Lu Yuan?"

Before Ji Qingxue could answer, she answered in a low voice: "Because the woman he loves is named Lu."

Ji Qingxue didn't know what to say, she had never been tempted by anyone, so naturally she didn't understand the feeling of love between men and women.

"Since you know that he has someone he loves, why do you want to marry him?"

Shui Wuxin raised her head, staring straight at the word "Lu Yuan", yes, why?

Maybe it's because I still hold a glimmer of hope, thinking that one day, he will understand how good he is to her, and will be willing to look back at himself, but it's a pity that the love in the world is deep and the relationship is shallow, and there is always the word wishful thinking.

Shui Wuxin turned around and looked at Ji Qingxue: "Young lady invited me out, maybe you want to tell me more than that. Miss, do you want to ask me something?"

What a clever woman!Ji Qingxue sighed in her heart.

"To be honest, Qingxue wanted to ask Madam where the imprint on her wrist came from, but what special significance does it have?"

Hearing Ji Qingxue mention the totem, Shui Wuxin subconsciously protected the flame totem on his wrist: "Why did you ask this, girl?"

"Because I've seen it before."

Shui Wuxin was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Have you seen it?"

Ji Qingxue nodded: "To tell you the truth, Qingxue once met her at the same place in my mother's hands."

"Dare to ask Lingtang Gao's name." Shui Wuxin looked at Ji Qingxue nervously, as if to confirm something.

Ji Qingxue said: "My mother's surname is Hua, and her full name is Hua Minrou."

Hearing this, Shui Wuxin stepped back abruptly, surnamed Hua?Isn't that...

Shui Wuxin took a few steps back abruptly, she said to Ji Qingxue in a flustered expression: "Girl, I just saw this totem by accident, and I thought it was very beautiful, so I asked someone to tattoo it on my hand for fun, it has no other purpose. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."

Ji Qingxue looked at Shui Wuxin, who was fleeing in the wilderness, with a thoughtful expression on her face. Although she didn't know why Shui Wuxin lied, she must know the meaning behind this totem.

Xingyun Villa, interesting!
At night, Ji Qingxue said to Nan Gongyan, "Let's stay here for a few more days."

Nangong Yan asked her without raising her head: "Did you meet something interesting?"

Ji Qingxue was lying on the table, watching Nangongyan go through one after another of the array cracking diagrams boredly: "Well, it's sort of."

Nan Gongyan nodded, he originally had this plan.He came to Xingyun Villa this time to find the solution to the formation of the Wuling clan.

Xingyun Villa was originally a weapon villa established by Emperor Gaozu. Its main responsibilities were to manufacture magical weapons for the Qi State, and to protect the Wuling clan.

In order to protect the stability of the tribe, Emperor Gaozu set up a formation at the entrance of Liusheng Valley. Outsiders who want to enter Liusheng Valley must destroy the formation at the entrance of the valley.

After Emperor Gaozu passed away, he handed over the formation diagram to the first owner of Xingyun Villa, ordering him and other clansmen to guard the formation diagram for the rest of their lives.

So Nan Gongyan had no choice but to go to Xingyun Villa to find the diagram of breaking the formation.

"Hey, what do you think of Lin Yuan and that Shui Wuxin today?" Ji Qingxue asked.

Nan Gongyan smiled: "What's the matter, it's just superficial."

Nan Gongyan's eyes were too vicious, and it was obvious at a glance that there was something wrong with them!

"I think this woman is pretty good, and I am very interested in her!"

Nan Gongyan put down the book, got up and prepared to rest: "I don't know when you like to care about other people's affairs."

Ji Qingxue gave him a white look: "Sister is happy!"

Nan Gongyan didn't bother to talk to her, and walked straight to the bed: "Go to sleep, there are important things to do tomorrow."

As if the soles of Ji Qingxue's feet were blown, she quickly ran to the bed to occupy a favorable position: "You, sleep on the floor!"

"Why?"

Ji Qingxue lifted the quilt and slipped in: "I'm a woman, you old man, do you want me to sleep on the floor?"

Nangongyan looked at Ji Qingxue who wrapped herself into a ball, and suddenly said vaguely: "Axue, you have seen me all over the past few days, don't you want to be responsible for me?"

The answer to Nangongyan was a pillow flying towards him and Ji Qingxue's powerful "Get out!"
Nan Gongyan caught the pillow, and looked at the person whose back was facing him on the bed, with an even bigger smile on his face!
Ji Qingxue, you are indeed responsible for me!
