Jiang Qianruo thought about it and had no objection: "What if it's just Tao'er?"

A trace of pain flashed across Emperor Mingde's face: "Tell him the truth. Even if...he is in poor health in the future, he will not be a threat to Zhou'er. If he is willing to be honest, then let him be a wealthy and idle man for the rest of his life."

-

The people of King Zhuang's group fell down at their word. If the street in Caishikou hadn't been filled with rivers of blood, many people still wouldn't have reacted.

Emperor Mingde's decisive and merciless killing made everyone in the capital wake up and wake up a little.

All nine Yonglebo clans were wiped out, leaving no one alive.

Even the bloodline of His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang was almost killed, and the remaining infant baby was secretly sent out of the capital and disappeared.

This outcome sounded the alarm for everyone.

With this big news, a lot of things about the Zhou family naturally disappeared.

Ji Changying was invited by Gong Yehong to go to Baihe Tower to discuss important matters.

Not long after she walked onto the street, she was blocked by a 'tramp'.

"Little friend, I see that your bones are strange and your hall is black. I think something will happen to your family soon. I will give you this peace charm to keep you safe."

Yanyun saw the old man who suddenly jumped out. He was covered in patches and exuded an unknown smell. His dirty hair was covered in strands on his face, and his appearance was completely invisible. He was holding a hand in his hand. He handed a black and yellow peace charm to Ji Changying.

She couldn't help but angrily yelled: "That's nonsense! How dare you curse my girl!"

The old man didn't appear to be angry. He just stared at Ji Changying with a pair of relatively clear eyes: "I promise you are right. You will regret missing today!"

Ji Changying sighed: "How much?"

The old man shook his head: "No money, I'll give it to you for free."

Yanyun was a little confused now, "Why are you blocking our road if you don't want money?"

"Fate is so wonderful!"

The old man shook his head and said. Just when Yanyun was about to refuse, he saw Ji Changying stretched out her hand and took the two peace charms with black finger prints in the old man's hand, and put a tael of silver in the other's palm: " Please eat steamed buns."

The old man's stomach growled at the right time, and he grinned: "Great kindness!"

Then he took the money and ran to the bun vendor selling it like a vicious dog snatching food. He grabbed the hot buns that were still on the steamer and stuffed them into his mouth regardless of how hot they were. Before the vendor could scream and beat him, he Yinzi threw it away.

Yanyun stared at him: "I knew this old man was a liar!"

"It doesn't matter, just treat the old man to dinner."

Ji Changying casually put the peace charm in her sleeve and took Yanyun to the White Crane Tower.

After reporting her name there, she was taken to a private room.

Yanyun was stopped by the guard at the door.

"It's okay, it's just a few words. You wait here."

Ji Changying gave instructions and stepped into the private room.

There were quite a few people from Beiyan sitting inside, and when they saw her coming in, they all looked at her with burning eyes.

Gong Yehong saw her coming in and immediately stood up with the others: "If the princess can come today, she will make this place full of glory! Please take a seat!"

Ji Changying raised her eyebrows and looked at them with confusion: "Didn't the prince say that he was leaving Dali a few days ago? Is this...?"

She was a little confused. They didn't know each other well enough, so they wanted her to see them off before leaving, right?

Luo Chengwu chuckled: "Originally, it was urgent, but now it seems that it is not so urgent. We can go back later."

so what? What does this have to do with her?

"Then why did you call me here today?"

Luo Chengwu stood up with a loud sound: "I'm always quick to talk to others. I heard from other places that the princess has potatoes and sweet potatoes in her hands?"

Ji Changying was silent.

Luo Chengwu was anxious: "To be honest, it snowed a few days ago. When the princess met with the fellow villagers at Baihe Tower, there happened to be one of our people in the crowd at that time, and we had already seen that thing!"

Ji Changying understood, so it was like this, no wonder they came to the door.

She didn't say anything originally because it was a state matter and she wouldn't say anything easily before knowing the other party's purpose.

But now that the other party has seen something, there is no point in denying it.

"Yes, yes, so what?"

"This shows that you are the destined person that the old Taoist said!"

Da Sinong explained anxiously.

Ji Changying was unmoved: "Let's not say whether the old Taoist priest's words are true or false. Even if they are true, so what?"

Gongyehong's face was solemn: "We in Beiyan have suffered from a severe drought this year, and there is no grain harvest! Wuyouzi predicts that the next year will get worse year by year, and we will not be able to recover for at least three years. If there are potatoes and sweet potatoes, With these two crops, we in Beiyan will be much better off, and our national power will not decline so much."

"The princess has also been an ordinary citizen, and she must be able to understand the lives of ordinary people. We want to take advantage of the fact that the national treasury is still full, and plan to exchange the money into grains to survive these difficult days, otherwise the people's hearts will not be stable. Naturally, chaos will arise. Our original intention is to be on equal footing with Dali, but if it reaches that level, I'm afraid the situation will be overwhelming!"

Ji Changying sneered: "Even if that happens, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose."

Luo Chengwu said seriously: "That's it, you just suffered from floods and epidemics last year, and your national strength may not be as strong as ours now. Maybe you nobles may not be affected by that time, but the people of the two countries can It’s just that the people are in dire straits, is it possible that the princess is happy to see this happen?”

Seeing that he was serious, Ji Changying naturally stopped being a little careless: "You are Beiyan and we are Dali. Now that our positions are different, don't tell me those big principles. Besides -"

"Up to now, you still haven't given any explanation for why you provided two-winged arrows to foreigners in the first place, which caused irreversible damage to my mother's body and our family."

Luo Chengwu explained: "We have already informed you, the Emperor of Dali, of the specific reasons, and we have also made compensation!"

"But you didn't say a word about us, right?"

They didn't expect that Ji Changying would care so much about this matter. Gong Yehong thought about it in his mind and sighed: "It was because of our own internal fighting in Beiyan that the two winged arrows were leaked..."

The current emperor of Beiyan, Gong Yeji, also killed more than a dozen of his brothers before he broke out of the siege and ascended to the throne.

However, for the first five years after he came to power, he refused to marry and have children, which caused turmoil in the court. Finally, he reluctantly took in a few concubines. Two years later, he had nothing to do with them. In the end, he was vaguely diagnosed by the imperial doctor as possibly having a child. Suffering from hidden diseases.

Those ministers were shocked. While looking for various ways to cure the emperor's illness, they also began to think of various ways to find the surviving bloodline of the emperor's brothers, preparing to adopt them to the emperor when the time came.

The emperor of Beiyan didn't take the ordinary path at all and asked him to raise the bloodline of his enemy? dream!
