Chapter 487 What if They Have Bad Intentions?

Xiu Mu saw that everyone present was stunned by their precious beads.

So he deepened his smile.

"As Princess Funing said, our two countries had a war, which was very unpleasant, but King Da Ri particularly appreciated your talent. A blessed woman like the princess may not appear in a hundred years, so we specially presented the most precious treasure to please the princess."

Shen Ningning had just seen her brother's reaction and guessed that this might be true.

But would Changliu really be so kind?

Xu Jingxi has always been resourceful.

He walked to Shen Ningning calmly and said to Xiu Mu: "Even if you give it, my sister will not give anything in return. If it is sincere, put the things down and you can leave."

Xiu Mu heard this and laughed twice: "I originally meant this, but you are too nervous."

After that, he asked the guards to leave the box, and the Zhentianzhu was also left in the box.

After that, Xiu Mu really left with people.

Xie Suzhi made a look, and immediately a secret guard followed them to see where they went.

Shen Ningning did not stop them, but waited until they left before going up to look at the blood-colored bead.

Looking at it in the sunlight, it seemed to have a crystal-like colorful light inside.

It happened that the genius doctor Sima Han was present today, and Shen Ningning immediately handed the thing to him for inspection.

After a while, the genius doctor nodded: "It is indeed a good thing, but I have only heard that the Zhentianzhu can prolong life, can it also treat headaches?"

Xie Mingxu has fought with Changliu Kingdom many times, and he is also very familiar with the legend of this bead.

"Prolonging life is just one of its most inconspicuous effects. It is said that the old king of Changliu Kingdom is nearly ninety years old, but he has no illness, so the locals believe that this bead has divine power and can dispel all diseases."

Shen Ningning pondered.

Xie Suzhi walked to his daughter.

"Ningning, have you seen the prince today?"

Shen Ningning nodded, then she remembered and looked around.

Mo Lingwei and the emperor had not arrived yet.

Just then, Chen Shaobei rushed in from outside: "Princess, His Highness can't come."

It turned out that when Mo Lingwei was about to leave, his headache came back.

Chen Shaobei nodded: "The emperor told you not to worry, it won't be too late to go to the palace to visit His Highness the Crown Prince after the banquet."

In the past, when Mo Lingwei's illness broke out, if Shen Ningning happened to be away, then the emperor could only let the imperial guards wear armor and hold shields to lock Mo Lingwei in the Zichen Palace.

Several times when Shen Ningning rushed over, Mo Lingwei had already hit his head and bled in the house.

He had a splitting headache and went crazy. Not only did he not recognize people, he would also hurt himself and didn't feel any pain.

Shen Ningning immediately asked Sima Han to bring the Zhentianzhu into the palace and tell the emperor everything.

"If you give it a try and your brother gets better, it means that this bead is really useful."

Chen Shaobei hurriedly took Sima Han and the Heaven Bead into the palace.

After a while, the secret guards that Xie Suzhi had arranged to go out came back.

"Sir, these envoys from Changliu are resting at the post station in the city. It seems that they will stay for a few days."

Xie Suzhi thought for a while with a cold face: "Don't drive them away first. Whether the Heaven Bead is useful or not, we have to wait for the result."

"Yes."

Then, the auspicious time arrived, and the coming-of-age banquet was completed according to the procedure. Shen Ningning completed the incense burning and the worship of ancestors.

The banquet came to an end, and the guests dispersed one after another.

Shen Ningning sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Wanchun and Muchun to change her clothes.

Today's clothes were too gorgeous and complicated. She wanted to go to the palace to see Mo Lingwei and planned to change into a set of light clothes.

However, Liang Yici broke into the room at this time.

Wanchun and Muchun were startled.

Muchun frowned: "Princess Rongshu, what's the matter?"

Liang Yici looked at Shen Ningning's petite and beautiful face in the mirror, and she looked a little angry.

"Why do you believe what those people from Changliu said? How dare you give the prince the things they sent? The people of Changliu are the most despicable. Who knows what kind of evil intentions they have? What if the beads are poisonous?"

Shen Ningning put down the tassel hairpin in her hand.

She turned around and looked at Liang Yici, her watery black eyes were very calm.

"I am sure, and I must let my brother try it."

Liang Yici had a huge hatred for Changliu.

She always thought that Shen Ningning was a very sober girl, why was she confused this time.

Shen Ningning stood up. She didn't care what Liang Yici thought of her, but she needed to make it clear.

"Grandpa, the genius doctor, said that every time my brother has a headache, he actually consumes his own blood and qi. If this continues, he will not live long."

"Do you want me to watch him die and do nothing?"

Liang Yici paused.

"That's not what I mean! But how dare you trust those people from Changliu Country?"

Shen Ningning turned to look out the window. The dusk had dispersed, and the blue of the night had just risen.

"I said, I am sure."

Her fairyland can cure any kind of poison, but it can't cure Mo Lingwei's sequelae.

Could this be what the book left by her mother said: one thing subdues another?

Liang Yici left helplessly.

When passing the corridor, she hurried and bumped into someone before she reacted.

"Ouch!" She cried out in pain and covered her shoulder.

The man stood firm first, and a cold and indifferent voice came: "Is the princess okay?"

Liang Yici looked up and saw that it was Xu Jingxi.

She was a little annoyed: "It's okay."

Seeing her covering her shoulder and leaving in a hurry, Xu Jingxi stood under the lanterns in the corridor, his figure as elegant as pine and cypress.

He looked at Liang Yici's back for a long time, and finally could only sigh.

In the post station.

Xiumu sat opposite a man, lighting a stove and boiling tea, quite comfortable.

That man was the guard standing behind him during the day.

Unlike the appearance of the entire Changliu people, he was just over 20 years old and had a pair of round pupils like a lion.

"Third Prince, please taste the new tea. This is a leaf drink unique to Cangyun Country. In our Changliu Country, you can't taste such a fragrant tea."

Xiumu said with a smile, holding up the teacup.

After taking a sip, he felt the fragrance in his mouth, and he raised his eyebrows happily.

However, the man he called the Third Prince did not move.

"Mr. Xiumu, you are the Heavenly Master, and you are also my father's military advisor and think tank. I followed you all the way to Cangyun Country. Not only did you ask me to hide my identity, but you also handed over our most precious Zhentian Pearl to save their prince. Why did you do this? Have you really forgotten the blood feud between Cangyun Country and us?"

The third prince's voice was cold.

When he saw Xie Mingxu during the day, he wanted to take action directly.

When he saw Shen Ningning, he was even more cold and stern.

This pair of siblings, one provided gunpowder and the other took gunpowder, killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Changliu Country.

Xiumu smiled, with a gleam in his eyes: "Your Highness, on the contrary, I hate Cangyun Country more than you do."

"Then why did you do this?"

"Because there is an old saying in Cangyun Country, if you want the enemy to relax his guard, you must first become friends with him. Zhentian Pearl will never be given away for nothing. You will see, once the prince's condition improves, it will be the first step for us to make friends with Princess Funing."

The third prince Tuoye frowned.

Shen Ningning's fair face flashed through his mind.

She is beautiful, but the price of making friends with her is too high.

Xiumu seemed to see his thoughts and asked him to drink tea with a smile.

"Your Highness, don't forget that we are here to find your sister. At the same time, King Da Ri said that if you can marry Princess Funing home, the throne of Changliu will definitely be yours in the future."

Takuye sneered: "I don't like her!"

Xiumu shook his head: "As long as she is valuable, it is worth our effort. Third Prince, King Da Ri asked you to learn from me. This time, just listen to me. We will definitely not be in vain."

Takuye thought about it, frowned and drank the tea.
