Chapter 783: Unveiling the Imperial List
ed Baochan, "Take care of the body. Find a way to transport it out of the palace. Remember to make sure that no one from the East Palace sees it." 。"Outside Yong'an Palace, Lian Shi stomped his foot o...The abusive stall owner is now speechless, the pain of having his tongue cut off makes him unable to hold on for long, he faints right away. 。Someone said, "Couldn't he have died People from the Central Plains region often bite their tongues to commit suicide. It means that once the tongue is severed, a person is gone." 。“ Some people shouted, “Report to the authorities quickly! Don’t let those North Qi people get away!” But when they turned around, there were no North Qi people to be seen. The North Qi people had already vanished. 。The scene was in chaos, people scrambling to carry the unconscious man to the clinic. A detachment of soldiers also began searching for the three men from Northern Qi within the city. 。Although there is no evidence to prove that the tongue-cutting incident was related to people from Northern Qi, Suyuan's people just blamed those few individuals. Since they were responsible for this, the officials and soldiers didn't ask any questions and focused solely on catching them. 。Ye Wen coldly snorted, "Truly barbaric and ridiculous." 。Just because the Emperor of Northern Qi is gone, do they think they can run rampant That insignificant Su Yuan, thinks it's some great place" She extended her hand and gestured forward a few times, then to Quan Qingfan, "Your Quan family is lucky. You had an emperor protecting you before, and now you've met me." 。"Just wait and see your territories taken over, Suyuan Nation! It will be yours sooner or later!"
Quan Qingfan laughed. "Good, our dear Yaoyao has this aspiration, then as her older brother, I'll just wait and see the mountains and rivers expand" 。“ Have some shame!” Ye Fei Zhou glared at him fiercely. Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Ye Wen Yan quickly intervened and said to Ye Fei Zhou, “Second brother, could you please escort those three people from Bei Qi At least ensure their safe departure from Xingzhou City.” 。" Ye Fei Zhou hummed a tune at Quan Qing Fan, then nodded. "Good, I'll go now and bring back that half catty of tea leaves." 。He finished his words, his figure moved, his feet seemed to have wheels, moving so fast that he left afterimages. 。Qu Qingfan opened his mouth, originally wanting to retort a few words, but before he could utter a word, Ye Fei Zhou vanished without a trace. 。He had to admit: “Young Master Ye Er’s skill is truly remarkable. It seems my third brother really invested a lot, and he didn’t suffer in vain for all those years of being scolded by our mother.” 。"Ye Wenyan twitched the corner of his mouth, and then remembered that the Fifth Prince and the Third Prince were from the same biological mother, true brothers." 。This gave her a bit of an awkward feeling, after all, the eldest son was in a good position to vie for the throne. But now thanks to her second brother's meddling, not only is he out of the running for the throne, but his future offspring are probably hopeless too. 。Quan Qingfan looked at her face for a while, seeing her strange expression, he also guessed what she was thinking, and couldn't help but smile. 。The hardest times are over, and besides, now... 。Ever since Lao Qi ascended the throne, all of us who'd been running alongside him have lost. 。From now on, just be a carefree prince, it doesn't matter about having or not having children. So, what happened between your second brother and my third brother won't be scrutinized too much by anyone anymore. 。< You are you, and he is him. You don't have to be embarrassed for him, especially since he isn't embarrassed himself. > 。"
Ye Wen touched his nose, chuckled dryly twice, and was unwilling to discuss this matter further. 。"Qian Qingfan also tactfully changed the subject, asking Ye Wenyan, "Was that half your tongue"Ye Wenyan nodded. "I don't like what Su Yuan people say, so I simply stopped him from speaking." 。"Half his tongue is gone, he probably won't be able to speak for the rest of his life Will he die" "There are many Suyuan shamans, and even among commoners there are many shaman disciples. So if that person can find a good doctor, he shouldn't die." 。But if there were no proper doctors in this Star City, he would probably not have survived. 。“Yes, but I hope he doesn't find a good doctor.” 。This is in Suyuan, we have to keep a low profile when disguised and entering the city. If anyone within the territory of Northern Qi hears such talk, I'll twist their head off. 。"Ye Wenyan glanced at him, "Xiao Jiu, when we first met, you weren't this violent. Back then, you were like a little white rabbit, taking the cute route." 。"How is it that now your true colors are showing"
Quan Qingfan loved to be called Xiao Jiu by her, so he immediately switched his style, smiling cheekily at her: "Where I've always been adorable." 。Perhaps because we're wearing Suyuan people's clothes now, you have a misconception about me. I'm still the cute Xiao Jiu. 。"By the way, Daodao, are you worried that your second brother might be in trouble Can he handle it on his own"Ye Wenyan chuckled, "How could my second brother possibly be in trouble You worry too much about him." 。He could enter the Northern Qi palace as if it were nobody's business, so how could a mere border town like Su Yuan be anything to him 。Her words were laced with undisguised disdain, her disgust and contempt for the nation of Su Yuan were palpable. 。Quan Qingfan thought I looked down on this broken country too. He wouldn't take the straight and narrow, always pulling off strange tricks that were annoying to everyone. 。Before the conversation could even begin, another commotion arose at the front. A squad of imperial soldiers marched towards them, and upon seeing them, people scattered in all directions, fearing they might be trampled by the officers and soldiers. 。 Quan Qingfan pulled Ye Wenyan to lean against the side. He thought these soldiers were still making a fuss about that half-tongue, but unexpectedly, they didn't care about what had just happened at all. Instead, they walked to one wall and posted a notice. 。Those who had previously made way crowded forward again, and they realized that the notice posted was not an ordinary one but a royal edict. 。On the imperial list, the emperor is seriously ill. The prescription given by the imperial physician contains an ingredient called "Phoenix Eye," but there is no such thing as "Phoenix Eye" in the Bureau of Shamanism. Therefore, they are now soliciting from the people... 。Whoever can cure the king's illness with phoenix eyes will not only receive a heavy reward, but also have their whole family ennobled, given a mansion, and granted a salary. Their descendants will be protected by the imperial family for generations to come. 。For a time, the people discussed it excitedly, with the most common saying being: "What is Phoenix Eye" Even Quan Qingfan asked Ye Wenyan, "You're also a Divine Doctor, have you ever heard of Phoenix Eye" Ye Wenyan shook his head, “Never heard of it.” 。“Let me think about it again,” he said, “Perhaps it’s another type of herb. It might just be that the names used by Suyuan and Beiji are different from ours, so we don’t recognize it.” 。As for why these Suyuan commoners didn't know, it was also normal. That kind of medicinal herb must have been a rare thing; otherwise, even the Suyuan witch doctor clan wouldn't be able to get their hands on it, so the commoners wouldn't know. 。"That's all" She frowned, feeling something wasn't right about the imperial list. On a whim, she tossed her suspicion to Quan Qingfan. 。
Juan Qingfan immediately said, “Indeed there is a problem! With the sovereign gravely ill, can this be spread around casually Letting the people know that the sovereign is ill would surely cause unrest. In my opinion, Elder Sovereign Su Yuan might already be on his deathbed. This imperial decree was probably not something he wanted to post.” >>> 。It should be the sons who were waiting to inherit the throne, posting it to give the people a psychological preparation, telling everyone that Su Yuan was about to have a new monarch succeed him. 。It could also be a way to gauge public opinion, to see who they favor. 。"That's just one aspect. You are royal blood, so you naturally consider things from a broader perspective, thinking about the conspiracies and power struggles among princes." 。But I'm just a woman, so I consider issues from a different angle than you. 。"Oh What did you think of" Ye Wenyan pointed with his finger, "Look, in the Imperial List, it says that the one who prescribed medicine for the Emperor used the term 'Divine Physician' instead of 'Witch Doctor'." 。But we all know that Su Yuan was below the shaman and high priest, and all the physicians came from the lineage of shamans. 。You look back further, and it mentions that the Imperial Apothecary couldn't find the ingredient Phoenix Eye. What does this mean” She didn’t wait for Quan Qingfan to answer, saying to herself, “It means the person who prescribed medicine for the Emperor wasn't a witch doctor, but an ordinary physician from somewhere unknown.” 。and it is very likely that they were from the Central Plains, because people from the Central Plains are very willing to call those with high medical skills "divine doctors". 。”
Quan Qingfan suddenly realized, "You're really right. Could it be that a physician from Beiqi arrived at Su Yuan But how did he gain the trust of the royal family How did he stand out among so many other witch doctors"
No one could guess the answer to this question. Ye Wenyan stood in the crowd, looking at the imperial list before him, and didn't think much about it. Suddenly, he pushed through the crowd and walked forward>>> 。Quan Qingfan was so distracted that when he reacted, he saw Ye Wenyan had already torn down the imperial decree. He then addressed the nearby soldiers: "I have news about Fenghuang Eye..." 。“
When the guards saw someone unveiling the imperial decree, they immediately surrounded him. Upon seeing that Ye Wenyan was just a teenage girl, they became angry— “Where did this wild girl come from This is an imperial decree, can you just unveil it at will You have news about Phoenix Eye, such an important thing that even the shamanic office is helpless, can you get it out”
At this time, Ye Wenyan was wearing a veil over her face. This thin veil was a standard accessory for women from Suyuan, whether married or unmarried, they were willing to wear it on their faces when going out
Even wealthy families would go the extra mile for their veils, embellishing them with precious jewels. 。It was precisely because of this veil that her appearance wasn't so easily discernible as not being from Suyuan. 。And she was naturally pretty, with big eyes and double eyelids. Her features were less distinctly Middle Chinese then. 。The soldiers didn't see anything amiss with her and were about to snatch the imperial edict away. One of them even kindly reminded her, "Miss, the imperial edict isn't something you can just tear down casually. If you tear it down, you have to truly bring out the goods, or else your life will be forfeit." 。"Looking at your age, I won't argue with you. Just return the imperial list and go home quickly!"
The onlookers also chimed in: "Yeah, go home quickly. This isn't something you should be involved in." 。"Ye Wen shook his head, and said seriously: “I'm not joking. I really have news about Fengyan. Although I can't get it out for now, as long as I provide the information to Your Majesty, Fengyan will definitely be found." 。"Sir, it's important to treat the king's illness. Please take me to Kyoto quickly! Every minute the king suffers is a minute too long!"ack, carrying blood-stained swords, walked step by step toward the two houses at the very back. 。Those two households bolted their doors and windows, hiding under beds, inside rice bins, anywhere they...
