After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Tianshu saw that Lin Xun didn't seem to want to go to that place, and he knew some of the reasons, which were still related to the late emperor, but...

"I heard about the post and sent a copy to the Xie family."

When the Queen Mother was mentioned, Lin Xun's expression quickly returned to its usual clarity, and he said calmly, "I understand."

But Tianshu hadn't left yet. Instead, he stood there, looking at him with hesitation. Lin Xun asked, "Anything else?"

Tianshu pointed at the invitation and said, "The Queen Mother is holding a banquet at Jiufan Mountain this time for another purpose, to welcome Princess Jiuge from Southern Xinjiang..."

Seeing that Lin Xun still had no reaction, Tianshu finally said: "Just now...just now I heard you seemed to call Princess Jiuge's name in your dream. You and Princess Jiuge..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xun looked at him with a chilling gaze.

Tianshu laughed and said, "I remember I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"stop."

Tianshu felt a chill on his back and turned back tremblingly...

"Not much."

Tianshu immediately assured, made a gesture to shut up, and said: "Master, don't worry, I will never say anything nonsense in front of Miss Xiao."

Lin Xun...

I feel even more worried. What should I do?

Lin Xun's gaze was slightly distracted as he looked at the brocade box on the table.

Princess Jiuge...

He began to have that dream again, and in the dream, the woman who was whispering in his ear was still unclear as before.

But in that desperate entanglement, she trembled in her voice: "Jiuge, my name is Jiuge."

The incense burner was almost extinguished, and his expression looked gloomy under the lingering smoke...

Tianshu had just left when he suddenly saw the housekeeper leading a young girl in green clothes over. He was startled and stammered, "Xiao...Miss Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Xuetang looked at Tianshu's loss of composure, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Did you do something bad behind my back?"

Xiao Xuetang just said it casually, but she didn't expect that Tianshu almost exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on after hearing Xiao Xuetang's words...

"No, not as much as you think!"

Tianshu shook his head like a rattle. Xiao Xuetang felt strange but didn't say much.

After Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun got engaged, according to etiquette, it was best for them to see each other less before the wedding.

But because Xiao Xuetang was worried about the poison of the tranquilizing incense and Lin Xun's health, coupled with some recent events, she decided to come to find Lin Xun...

As soon as Xiao Xuetang sat down, he mentioned Concubine Xie again.

"My aunt was forced to become the prince's concubine because of some so-called mythical fate. How ridiculous!"

Xiao Xuetang was very angry and felt it was unfair for the imperial concubine.

Lin Xun poured Xiao Xuetang a cup of tea, pushed the freshly made rose pastry from the kitchen in front of her, and skillfully smoothed her hair.

Then he asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly think of investigating Concubine Xie?"

When asked this by Lin Xun, Xiao Xuetang did not give a direct answer.

Xiao Xuetang was actually not sure whether her aunt had left behind a medical book, so she decided to wait until she found the medical book before giving Lin Xun a surprise.

A sly look flashed in her eyes, and she changed the subject and asked Lin Xun, "Are there any clues about the poisoning of the Anshenxiang? I think the one who could do such a secret operation must be someone around you who is related to the late emperor, not Tianshu or Master Liaoyuan!"

Lin Xun's eyes first fell on the brocade box on the table, and then he shook his head slightly.

Xiao Xuetang also knew that the other party was hiding his true intentions and would not reveal his true intentions for a while, so she was not in a hurry. Instead, she thought of another thing.

"By the way, did you know that Lin Shaoshu was named King Heng? You mentioned so many titles... why did it have to be King Heng?"

They have been focusing their attention on Mu Xingyun recently, but Lin Shaoshu is no pushover either, especially when these two people get together with Ye Jin, Xiao Xuetang always feels that something will happen.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuetang felt that the snack in her hand was no longer sweet.

"You care?"

Lin Xun's voice was as steady as ever, with no emotion in it.

Xiao Xuetang was stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether he cared about the title given to Lin Shaoshu by Emperor Yonghui, or about Lin Shaoshu himself.

She patted the snack crumbs in her hand, looked at Lin Xun uncertainly, and asked jokingly: "Prince...are you jealous?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xun actually said "Yes" calmly, which made Xiao Xuetang stunned for a moment...

"Your Majesty, I've noticed that you've become less and less reserved since we got engaged!"

Listening to Xiao Xuetang's accusation, Lin Xun's eyes flashed with a smile, and then he pretended to be indifferent and said: "I was the one who proposed the word Heng to His Majesty."

Xiao Xuetang looked at Lin Xun in surprise, not understanding for a moment why he did this.

Lin Xun's lips curled slightly, and a hint of incomprehensible meaning flashed in his eyes. After a moment, he said, "Since the Queen Mother wants to give Prince Heng a special honor, I will let him add icing on the cake, why not."

Xiao Xuetang was so perceptive that when she heard Lin Xun say this, she reacted in a flash and said, "You want to use this to stir up a fight between the East Palace and Prince Heng, and reap the benefits!"

Lin Xun made a gesture to Xiao Xuetang to keep quiet, his narrow eyes holding a smile, which had an indescribable romantic charm.

Xiao Xuetang muttered to herself: Not only is Lin Xun becoming less and less reserved, he's also becoming more and more... seductive!

Looking at that handsome and unparalleled face, which should have been pure and otherworldly, and the beautiful and seductive lotus pattern on the cheek, Xiao Xuetang was deeply touched.

In fact, she quite liked this pattern. If Xiao Xuetang hadn't been worried that the Green Lotus Poison would affect Lin Xun's body over time, she wouldn't have thought of detoxifying Lin Xun so quickly.

Lin Xun didn't know that someone had been bewitched by the beauty at this time, and he kept saying, "This trip to Jiufan Mountain will not be peaceful. I will let Tianshu follow you."

"It's not just Dong Gong and Lin Shaoshu who need to be careful when going to Jiufan Mountain this time, but also... Mu Xingyun!"

It was a name that made both of them a little uneasy.

Xiao Xuetang also felt that Mu Xingyun's calmness during this period was a little strange, especially since she was engaged to Lin Xun. Even Lin Shaoshu had instigated the censors to complain and make trouble for Lin Xun in the morning court. But how could Mu Xingyun remain indifferent?

At this time, she didn't know that Mu Xingyun was in seclusion because he was seriously injured by the backlash and almost went insane. She just thought that Mu Xingyun was holding back a big move.

Have to prevent!

Moreover, the Queen Mother's choice of Jiufan Mountain as the venue for the banquet was somewhat subtle...

Because that was where Concubine Xie last lived.

When Ye Jin was sneaking around in Litangju looking for Concubine Xie's things that day, it was hard not to suspect that he was being instructed by Mu Xingyun.

Therefore, this time when Xiao Xuetang went to Jiufan Mountain, he had to first be on guard against the Queen Mother and other people in the palace who might try to trip him up from behind, and secondly, he had to snatch things from Mu Xingyun!

Could Concubine Xie’s magical book box and the remaining half of the medical book be in Jiufan Mountain?
