"Duke Wei, do we still have a choice?"

Yuan Congqian looked at Wei Yanwu and sighed.

His calling him Duke of Wei made Wei Yanwu feel hurt.

"Duke of Wei? Yes, I am Duke of Wei..."

Wei Yanwu was deeply moved by the emotion that people in an imperial family cannot choose their own destiny.

"The young man was full of chivalry, making friends with heroes from all five cities. He was brave and courageous, and his hair stood on end. In the conversation, we shared life and death. Everyone has his own aspirations, and I believe you will understand me. But how can you and I ever have that day? Choice, choice, since we were born like this, it is reasonable that we have no choice."

"I have no intention of fame and fortune, and the Western Pharmacy is only for self-preservation. Walking in Baizao with a sword is the happiest time for me. If possible, I don't want to be in the whirlpool of the capital, but in Shangshu, with a sword and a pot of strong liquor."

"I want to, too." Wei Yanwu slammed the table, his tone full of resentment.

"But those traitors who wanted to seek further benefits could actually do this for my brother and for that dragon bed...Cong Qian, you must be careful recently. If you are short of manpower, come to me for help!"

Wei Yanwu dreamed of becoming a great hero, and what Yuan Congqian said really touched his heart.

Looking at Wei Yanwu's expression, Yuan Congqian knew that his goal was about to be achieved.

All you need to do next is give him a gentle push.

"Longmen is in chaos now. Can't you just let the Duke of Shu be the Jingzhao Yin? Shouldn't we go to Longmen? Going to Longmen, we won't be constrained by the capital and can create our own world. How can it not be a pleasure?"

"No, we can't leave anymore."

Wei Yanwu looked at Yuan Congqian and shook his head:

"Cong Qian, you are so naive. Do you really think that those who come to help your Western medicine store want to do more for this country and for the common people? They are targeting your identity. You will never reach Longmen alive!"

Shaofuqing Li Cunshan had a dark face and drank tea with a full stomach.

When Yuan Congqian heard the bloody truth revealed by Wei Yanwu, his face turned pale.

"I am just an outsider, the Queen's nephew..."

"Outsiders are the ones to be dealt with first. Didn't anyone teach you?"

"I...after my father passed away, I started going to the Imperial College this month to take the military exam." Yuan Congqian, who was actually still a minor, whispered, portraying the image of an ignorant Imperial College student who knew nothing about politics.

The Fu brothers are really not human beings for letting such an ignorant person be involved in the political vortex!

"Alas, after that rumor, I cared less about you. Since there is no choice, we can only protect ourselves together."

Wei Yanwu looked at his cousins ​​and felt very sad, and he expressed his true feelings.

"I will ask my father to take the position of Jingzhao Yin in a few days. When I become Jingzhao Yin, my father and I will get rid of those evildoers one by one, and you and I will not have to worry about this capital anymore."

Under external pressure and with the abyss behind him approaching, Wei Yanwu had to move forward in order to protect himself.

After the highly suspected incident of "Si Suitai, who supported the Duke of Shu, assassinated the Duke of Wei" tonight, Wei Yanwu didn't know what Si Suitai would do, but if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't even be able to go to Longmen.

The chivalrous spirit in his heart would not allow him to do such a thing.

Is there any value for Wei Yanwu, who was so timid and cowardly even after being assassinated?

As for the trouble with the corpse of the Sui beast, they could only take one step at a time and see what would happen next. In Wei Yanwu's mind, the most suitable person to replace the Minister of Sui should be Yuan Congqian. Only when his cousin supervised Sui could he live in Baizao with peace of mind and then find a way to realize his dream of becoming a hero.

Chapter 5: I Am Well (Additional Chapter )

The palace maids led the way ahead, holding red lanterns.

The real dragon looked back and saw fireworks rising into the sky from the wasteland around the Seventh Mansion. The people in the restaurant and the nobles could be heard singing different songs. Thousands of flowers bloomed at night, and fish and dragons danced all night.

However, the closer you get to the Royal Villa, the quieter it becomes.

I was enjoying a feast in the West Garden just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, I felt that the surroundings were empty and quiet, as if I was in a desolate place.

His life seemed to be the same. His youth, with fine clothes and fine horses, was in the prime of his life, and in the blink of an eye, he became a middle-aged man with heroic spirit and high spirits. However, when he looked back, he was already suffering from illness and was about to reach the end of his life.

The real dragon's pace was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but Yan Junyan was able to keep up with the pace every time.

Looking at Zhenlong's back, Yan Junyan realized that his brother had become much more hunched and desolate without him noticing, and was no longer the prince who went with him to secretly watch the female sumo wrestlers. However, Yan Junyan was still very young, and he had just reached adulthood.

"Jun Yan, what do you think? I haven't paid enough attention to Si Suitai. Could it be that they can really steal Sui's abilities?"

The real dragon suddenly spoke, with curiosity in his words.

For thousands of years, the corpse of Suishou buried under Baizao has always been a major concern for all generations of True Dragons, and Simuitai has always been an office that the True Dragons must pay attention to. True Dragons can choose not to attend court or to ignore the Tianshi Mansion, but they will always pay attention to Simuitai.

If Simuitai can steal Sui's abilities, can he put an end to the threat posed to Baizao by the Sui beast entity once and for all?

"I heard that Wang and Simuitai had a lot of conflicts. I'm afraid it was because of this."

"So, does Si Suitai really dare to come and kill my son directly?"

"Brother, this is strange."

"How strange?"

"There have been many things going on in the capital recently, and Duke Wei has not made any mistakes in his actions. It is not his own plan. However, Duke Shu has been studying peacefully after the last family dinner to prepare for the examination next year. It is not him."

The real dragon said in a low voice: "I know it's not them. They don't have the guts."

He knew Wei Yanwu and the Duke of Shu too well. One liked to wield swords, and the other liked to compose poetry. If they were asked to interpret the rumors about the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Zhenlong could defeat them all by himself.

"Forging, Transfiguration, and Shadow require at least three Heavenly Masters to use Originium Techniques at the same time to accomplish this."

Yan Junyan analyzed for the True Dragon: "The battle took place at the corner of the East Palace and the Imperial City. There were so many traces of Originium skills that it was impossible for the Heavenly Master patrolling outside the Imperial City to fail to discover them. The actual number of people must be less than three."

"If it's the beast master, can he do it?"

"Beast Master? The beast master of another country seems to have no conflict with Yan Country..."

"Killing the prince of one country can also make another prince bear the reputation of killing his brother. How can we not do such a good thing? The chaos in Yan Country is the best smell of blood for those low-intelligence beasts. They dream of getting involved. Moreover, if Yuan Congqian continues to operate for a few more days, he might get involved with the beast master..."

Zhenlong snorted and spoke a long string of words, then suddenly felt short of breath and started coughing softly.

"Your Majesty." The female officials around gathered over.

The real dragon waved his hand and dispersed them all.

"I'm fine, don't come over. Go and prepare the stove for me, so I can see my brother's cooking skills. I remember the last time I ate your meal was ten years ago, when you were going to treat all the royal family members to a big pot of rice."

"Brother, you can still remember the jokes we talked about when we were young."

"How can I not remember? It's only been a few years, how can I not remember it?"

Zhenlong laughed and walked to the villa with Yan Junyan.

Inside the royal villa, at a secluded corner along a winding path, a garden full of colorful flowers comes into view.

Surrounded by a verdant bamboo fence covered with vines, in the center of the garden, an exquisite open-air kitchen was hidden in the shadows of flowers, as if integrated with the surrounding scenery, and a female official was already walking through it preparing dishes.

The real dragon stopped at the garden gate.

"Tell me, am I really going to die, so this Fu guy has the guts to kill the Yuan family and even the prince? Are they so sure that I don't have many years left to live?"

"Brother, you are in your prime, and you can have sex with four women at night like me."

"Hey! You are so naughty. You can always talk about women no matter what I say."

"Brother, I'm going to prepare the pagoda meat first, please wait for a moment!"

"Okay, let's go."

Zhenlong let Yan Junyan go ahead to confess his crime, and stayed alone at the garden gate, standing quietly under the shadow of the flowers.

He lowered his head, looked at the bright red in his hand, smiled secretly, and wiped it directly on his clothes.

......

Western pharmacy, government office.

Kal'tsit was seeing the nighttime emergencies, and the Wrights were chatting beside her while wearing masks.

Doctors and nurses on duty at night hospitals are all very bored and need someone to chat with. Although Kal'tsit has no such need, Mr. Wright joined in on the grounds that he has nothing to do.

"Is tonight a special holiday? The people of the capital seem very excited."

"Mid-Autumn Festival." Kelsey answered Mr. Wright's question, but her hands kept on writing. Name, dosage form, specifications, quantity, usage and dosage, and then drew a slash to indicate that the prescription was completed.

Finally, she signed her name, which she had written countless times.

Kal'tsit/Kal'tsit, the Western Pharmacy in the outer city of Baizao.

"It seems that the Yan people have many festivals to celebrate autumn."

As Mrs. Wright spoke, she began to count the number of legal holidays in Yan State that were related to autumn.

"Autumn Festival, Autumnal Equinox, and Qixi Festival are also in autumn, plus today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a three-day holiday."

"In order to celebrate the harvest, various places will set up festivals in autumn."

Kal'tsit wrote another prescription with a faint smile on her face.

However, this time the prescription was not handed to the patient who came for consultation, but to Mr. Wright. The prescription was written in both Victorian and Yan Chinese characters, and seemed different from other prescriptions.

"Prepare acetaminophen, saline, and hydrocortisone butyrate at home... At the same time, prepare traditional Chinese medicines such as ginger slices, tangerine peel, safflower, and motherwort... It is strictly forbidden to use aminoglycoside antibiotics."

When the doctors standing by heard this, they immediately laughed and said, "Are you serious?"

"Dr. Kai, you have a very good eye."

"I don't believe it. Let me feel your pulse. I really don't believe I can tell at a glance."

One of the waitresses grabbed Mrs. Wright's hand and clasped her wrist with her fingers, the surprise on her face becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

When her colleagues looked at her inquiringly, she actually nodded!

Mrs. Wright was confused:

"What does it mean?"

Mr. Wright's face turned red, and he pulled Mrs. Wright over and began to explain in a low voice.

After speaking a few words, Mrs. Wright also coughed, signaling Mr. Wright to stop talking.

Little Christen will probably be born earlier than Yuan Congqian expected.

Chapter 84: Thousands of Flowers Blooming at Night

The real dragon prepared an unusual beast-cart and went to patrol the inner city, so he summoned the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Shu, the Right Prime Minister of the Western Pharmacy, the Minister of Zongzheng, the Minister of Shaofu, the Supervisor of Astronomy, and the Minister of Rites to accompany him.

The female official who went to Jiantianqin to announce the order brought the news.

"Your Majesty, Qin Zheng is now in the Tianshi Mansion collecting the atlas of Hangu Pass. I think there is something important going on."

When the real dragon heard that someone was not coming to accompany him, his eyes were as calm as a lake: "It seems that the Tianshi Mansion is busy. It's the festival in the capital, and the people have finished their reunion meals and are going out to play. You should keep an eye on them."

"Here."

"Go."

The real dragon boarded the luxurious carriage and sat next to the queen who had been waiting inside.

She was wearing a red dress, and her graceful and dignified demeanor was revealed. Her long brown hair was topped with round tiger ears, and the hair color on her forehead was darker, forming a tiger pattern like the Chinese character "王". Under her hair was a soft feather that stretched toward the sky.

Intricate, clear crystals dotted her hair and neck, bringing a hint of coolness.

Queen Yuan Gongpei smiled at Zhenlong and said:

"But what did that kid Congqian do?"

The real dragon snorted and leaned back on the couch.

"What kind of skills does he have? He can wield a sword and has some political skills. He can help me kill a few useless people and help Duke Wei open a western medicine store. I didn't expect that he would actually have a team."

"That sounds quite capable, doesn't it?"

"But the team is too mixed. What do the students know?"

"I heard that it was Lin Guangmei's son who hired these people."

"Heh, Lin Guangmei has been a coward all his life, but I didn't expect that he would defeat him... He does have one good thing, the foreigners he found seem to be quite famous. In order to avoid being overtaken by the latecomers, the Tianshi Mansion and the Ministry of Industry have been working harder recently."

“It’s all good.”

Both of them tacitly did not mention Yuan Congqian, the Fu brothers, and the assassination of Wei Yanwu tonight.

The real dragon pulled open the curtains on the pack animal cart and looked at the sky in the distance.

Even the twin moons were dimmed by the continuous fireworks. There were as many red lanterns lit up as there were households in the capital, and the aroma of sweet cakes and meat soup wafted everywhere.
