Chapter 103: Meeting
“Miss Chen, do you have a silver dagger?”
____
While the banquet was in full swing, Chang Geng was helping Miss Chen collect herbs in the courtyard where she temporarily settled in the capital
His cold went away as quickly as it arrived, cured after two doses of ood as before The reason why he still took his leave was due to his sensitive background, Gu Yun had deliberately let hi Xu found new clues about Bone of Impurity
“You mean that Bone of I Xu’s hands were full of all kinds of yellowed old books, she often had to rescue the pages fallen off Her hands were busy, but her es one’s ht its root was in the brain If it weren’t for the Marquis’s reminder, I would not think of this aspect… You see here — the barbarian’s earliest record of the evil God Wu Er Gu – ‘bornhimself, with four feet, four arms, two hearts, blood flows in the chest like a tide, especially tyrannical’, I thought that the ‘blood flows like a tide’ part was only a metaphor, but it actually refers to how the Bone of Impurity attacks”
Only when she talked about these things could she utter sowas silent for abitterly, “What Miss Chen means is that my entire body is poison, unless I follow theflesh?”
It see a ruinedunhurriedly sorted out the herbs and put theears on the shelves clenched together with a squeaky sound and slowly rose to the top to reveal the empty space below This was meticulous work, it could not be done by an i Xu looked at him with admiration There was no historical record of those ere entangled by the Bone of Impurity but could still stay sane until adulthood, let alone one who could entle te whether he was born with perseverance, or if he was better than the others by one Gu Yun
Chang Geng: “To tell you the truth, I don’t feel very well recently The Bone of IXu casually said, “The Marquis had already toldwas startled for a moment, “He…”
Gu Yun always seems to follow the attitude of ‘it was only the barbarian witchcraft poisoning’ and never took this ‘minor skin and flesh illness’ seriously He seldom talked about it and never showed any concern in front of Chang Geng
Turned out…it had always troubled hi Xu paused and realized that she had said too hness, if there is nothing else to instruct, I’ to return to Chen family old residence in Shanxi It’s much easier after I find the roots, there will be a solution in the end”
“Ah,” Chang Geng answered, putting his hands together, “I have troubled you, and about Zi Xi’s antidote…”
He was interrupted by a visitor from the palace before he could finish
The reeted Chang Geng and said, “Your Highness, the Emperor heard that you are ill, he had specially asked your servant to co a doctor, but he did not dare to enter Doctor Chen’s courtyard and aiting outside”
Chang Geng frowned: “I have troubled Royal Brother for his concern, but I only caught a regular cold, not a serious illness”
The servant laughed and said, “Yes, I also saw that Your Highness was in good spirits, eh… Your Highness, there is a banquet in the palace this evening for the Third Barbarian Prince and their group of envoys The envoy of the Eighteen Tribes hness in front of the Emperor His Majesty orderedwell, there’s no need to trouble yourself, if you’re feeling alright, you should co Xu was stunned for aquickly If nobody said anything, it would be all right But the Man envoy already said so, Chang Geng could not refuse There was a dilemma in the , but also the fa’s mother He certainly could not intentionally approach them, but it was not appropriate to intentionally avoid them either
The envoy already na’s attitude, that was the direction to avoid offending
Chang Geng grabbed a purse fro to the servant and asked, “Excuse me, what did my brother say?”
The servant hed so much that his face blushed and said incoherently, “I dare not… Yan wang is taking years from my life, and this… it’s a shame to receive it…”
As he said he was asha, “What kind of person is our Yan wang, there’s no need for you to respect those barbarian bunch The Eo to avoid boredo to hio back, no need to interact with those people It’s the new year, the E you”
Chang Geng understood, “Let o with you to the palace”
The servant happily answered, “I will prepare you a carriage”
Chang Geng smiled and watched him leave As soon as he turned and entered the roo Xu followed after hi shook his head: “This year’s banquet is very strict, Zi Xi is there, the people coh several inspections For the Barbarians, except the Third Prince and the envoys, all the servants have been locked up in the post station Even if the Barbarian Third Prince has Ziliujin flowing under his skin, there is no guarantee that he can explode into anything hile – I only need to borrow a roo Xu didn’t understand these matters, she did not say much and asked thewent to the door with his arain “Miss Chen, do you have a silver dagger?”
wang Guo was sitting aued civil officials vent their hatred for the country and fa words to oppress the Man envoy
The Northern Man’s envoy could not be said to have a flexible mouth, but he knew proper advance and retreat Once the topic becahed and did not speak It seemed that he really bore the burden of humiliation and ca’s eyes also paused on the silent Third Prince bowing his head, but quickly shi+fted his attention — he had no interest in that idiot, he had arranged a better play
wang Guo was different fro Qin who often talked about the national econohly of hi Qin’s bunch, they only reluctantly addressed him as Master this and Lord that when they have a use for hi that he was very ‘dutiful’ towards his role as an Ie Guo used to be a minor character who ran errands for the for subject and bearing the ill name for the ruler Ever since the matter of the forht, he had been living in fear
He had no opinions towards Gu Yun or even the Gu family, there were few contacts between civil andas neither of the party harbored great ale for power, they would not struggle for a single pot
Not to mention that Gu family was the true nobility, it’s just that they were few in e was too special
But wang Guo himself and Gu Yun had no difference in viewpoints either He had no opinions on the important affairs of the country His only opinion ere the proper ways to please the Erand characters, talented in martial and literary, each of them was full of ideals, there needed to be a few men such as this to allow the Ee
If it was possible, even if he was overfed with rat poisons, he would never dare to touch the Gu fale, and a ruler’s order was hard to oppose Now the old man himself had died, at least he could still find one broken excuse of ‘the ruler wants the subject to die’, yet he had left hi of the people
At present, E to protect this worthless being out of respect for hi for food
But what about the future?
It was not horrifying how refor took the throne, ould he do to wang Guo?
