The secret that Han Jingshu held was huge. Perhaps Yan Huaijing could not tell what the âHoly Soul Pearlâ was, but if Yu Wan was here, she would immediately understand that it was a treasure that belonged to the Sacred
Clan.
Yan Huaijing was at his witsâ end. Han Jingshu was lying on the bed with a pale face like a withered flower, but he could not do anything. He finally took her hand. At this moment, he sincerely felt reluctant to part with this woman.
Perhaps men were indeed cheap things. They only knew how to cherish it after losing it. All he could think of now was Han Jingshuâs good points.
âIf you survive, I wonât let you down.â
Outside the ajar door, Jun Changâan watched this scene quietly. After a while, he turned around and disappeared into the night expressionlessly.
In a small straw hut in the west of the city, a man in green was sitting under the porch with a chessboard in front of him. The man placed a white piece down. He did not look up, but he said, âSince youâre already here, show yourself.â
Jun Changâan used his qinggong and landed in front of him.
âTake off your shoes. This is a freshly polished floor,â the man said.
Jun Changâan took off his shoes and walked up the corridor in his clean white socks. âItâs not clean at all,â Jun Changâan said in disdain.
âAnyway, I wiped it,â the man said.
Jun Changâan sat cross-legged opposite the man and hugged his sword. He was a swordsman, and his sword never left his hand.
The man looked at his sword and smiled. âYou havenât thrown this lousy sword away yet? How many years has it been? Is the Second Prince so stingy? Heâs already the Crown Prince, yet he doesnât give you a famous sword?â
Jun Changâan said, âIâm not here to discuss my weapon with you.â
The man smiled. âThen youâre here to ask about your brotherâs whereabouts? Unfortunately, you canât afford the price.â
âBai Xiaosheng.â
âHuh?â
âIâll pay the price you want,â Jun Changâan said solemnly.
âOh?â Bai Xiaosheng looked up.
It was rumored that Bai Xiaosheng had a thousand faces. No one had seen his true appearance. The face he wore today was definitely not any face Jun Changâan had ever seen, but Jun Changâan had a way to find him and recognize him.
âAre you⦠sure?â Bai Xiaosheng asked with a faint smile.
âIâm sure,â Jun Changâan said.
Bai Xiaosheng put the unfinished chess piece back into the chess box and looked at Jun Changâan with interest. âActually, I can give you a piece of news for free about your brother. He wasnât captured by the Ghost Clan.
âI can take my time to find my brother,â Jun Changâan said.
Bai Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows. âFrom what youâre saying⦠youâre here to buy news for others? You have to think carefully. Iâm only doing one business per person. After I sell you the news, Iâll never sell you the news of your brother again. â
Jun Changâan lowered his eyes. ââ¦I know.â
Bai Xiaosheng narrowed his eyes. âIâm suddenly very curious. Youâve been obsessed with it for so many years but refused to give me what I want. Who is it for this time?â
Jun Changâan did not say anything.
Bai Xiaosheng picked up the teapot on the stove and made himself a cup of tea. He also made a cup for Jun Changâan. âAlright, I wonât tease you anymore. Tell me, what do you want to ask?â
Jun Changâan didnât even look at the cup of tea. âThe Crown Princess Consort has been poisoned. I want to detoxify her.â
Pfftâ
Bai Xiaosheng spat out the tea in his mouth!
âYan Huaijingâs woman? Are you crazy, Jun Changâan?â Bai Xiaosheng had been in the pugilistic world for many years, but this was the first time he had lost his composure like this!
Jun Changâan said seriously, âThis has nothing to do with you. You only have to tell me, do you have this news for sale or not?â
Bai Xiaosheng wiped his mouth with his sleeve. âThereâs no need to goad me. Thereâs nothing in the world that I, Bai Xiaosheng, canât obtain! I donât have the antidote, but I can tell you who can cure her Gu! As for whether you can invite that person, that will depend on your own ability.â
Jun Changâan frowned. âArenât you being a little too shameless?â
No matter what, he should invite that person to the Crown Prince Manor to be worthy of the price he was about to pay!
Bai Xiaosheng spread his hands. âSo, you should save the price for your brother. Why waste it on a woman who has nothing to do with you?â
Upon hearing this, Jun Changâan understood that there was no room for negotiation.
Bai Xiaosheng looked into Jun Changâanâs eyes without blinking. âIâll ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to buy this news?â
Yan Jiuchao went to court again.
In the past, when he was by her side, he was not always in front of Yu Wan. Sometimes, he would enter seclusion for a few days, but that feeling was still different from after he went to court.
Yu Wan missed him! She muttered weakly, âWhatâs wrong with me? Am I getting worse the more I live? Weâre clearly an old couple, yet Iâm still so mushy?â
If she couldnât see Yan Jiuchao, then it was good to look at a few copies. Hence, the three little eggs were caught by their mother. But why was the way Mother looked at them so scaryâ¦
After lunch, the three little eggs and Little Bruiser returned to Prince Yanâs courtyard to rest. Yu Wan also returned to her room to lie down for a while. As soon as she fell asleep, a guard from the gate reported, âSomeone requests to see Young Madam! He said that heâs an old acquaintance of Young Madam!â
Taoâer and Liâer looked at each other. Just as they were about to enter the room to report, Pingâer walked out. Pingâer said, âWhat old acquaintance? Let him wait! Young Madam is resting. Weâll talk when she wakes up!â
âUh⦠yes!â Pingâer was Yu Wanâs trusted maidservant. The guard did not dare to be negligent and replied truthfully outside the manor.
âPinger, is this fine? What if⦠itâs a very important person?â Liter asked softly.
Liâer and Taoâer had entered the manor early. They were maidservants who had been brought into the manor by Uncle Wan during Yu Wanâs wedding.
However. in terms of serving Yu Wan. the two of them were not as rich as Pingâer. Pingâer had followed Yu Wan everywhere and had long figured out Yu Wanâs personality. Because she had experienced life and death, she was much bolder than the maidservants in the manor.
Pingâer said, âDoes Young Madam have any old acquaintances in the Capital? The kind who needs to wait outside the door to report?â
The two maidservants were stunned. That was right! Their Young Madam had grown up in the countryside and was not familiar with the high-ranking officials and noble ladies in the capital at all! If it was someone from the Xiao Manor or the Yu family, they could enter without reporting.
Yu Wan slept until evening. If Jun Changâan wasnât afraid that the other party wouldnât treat her in a fit of anger, he would have barged into the manor hundreds of times.
When Pingâer combed Yu Wanâs hair, she mentioned that her âold acquaintancesâ were waiting outside the manor. Yu Wan felt that Pingâer, this maidservant, really touched her heart. She would be angry if she was woken up halfway!
âIs he still there?â
âYes.â
âLet him go to the reception pavilion.â
âYes.â
Pingâer went outside the manor to lead Jun Changâan to the reception pavilion in the outer court. When Yu Wan saw Jun Changâan, she could not help but be stunned. Who⦠was this guy? She had been stupid for three years because of pregnancy. She felt that her brain was not as good as before. She clearly felt that he looked familiar, but she could not remember who he was for a moment. âJun Changâan greets the Princess Consort.â Jun Changâan cupped his hands and bowed.
Yu Wan remembered when she heard this name. Wasnât this Yan Huaijingâs personal expert, the swordsman from the pugilistic world?
It was said that he could fight Shadow Thirteen to a draw, but this was already a year ago. Shadow Thirteen had a special physique. Every time he didnât die, he would undergo nirvana to become an even stronger existence. Yu Wan roughly estimated that Shadow Thirteen at least had the strength of a peak Asura.
If the two of them fought again⦠Could it still be a draw?
Jun Changâan would never have expected that the first time the dignified Regent Consort saw him, she would actually think of who was better at fighting between him and Shadow Thirteen!
âPrincess Consort?â Jun Changâan was still bowing.
âOh, rise!â Yu Wan came back to her senses and found a chance to let the two of them fight! Ahem, thatâs wrong. It was a spar. âWhy? Is the Crown Prince looking for me?â Yu Wan asked indifferently.
âItâs me. Iâm looking for the Princess Consort for something.â It wasnât that Jun Changâan hadnât thought of whose name was better. The person he wanted to save was Han Jingshu. Yan Huaijing was Han Jingshuâs husband, so it was only right and proper to use his name. What was he? Did he overstep his bounds?
However, when he thought of Yan Huaijingâs relationship with the Young Master Manor, Jun Changâan felt that the Princess Consort would definitely not give Yan Huaijing face.
Yu Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise. âOh? Why is Hero Jun looking for me?â
Hero⦠Jun? What⦠What kind of tacky way of address was this?! Jun Changâan shivered. He stabilized his expression and said, âI want to ask the Princess Consort to save someone for me.â
âHan Jingshu?â
ââ¦Yes.â Jun Changâan was surprised. âHow did Your Highness guess?â
âIs there a need to guess? Youâre from the Crown Prince Manor. The Crown Princess Consort has an incurable illness. My relationship with Yan Huaijing is so bad. If he comes forward, Iâll definitely ignore him. As for youâ¦â Yu Wan crossed her arms and looked down at him.â Actually, I donât really want to agree to your request.â
Yu Wan did not ask Jun Changâan why he had come forward to seek treatment for Han Jingshu. In her opinion, there were only two possibilities. One was that Yan Huaijing had asked him to come. The other was that he had come himself. If she had an incurable illness one day and needed Shadow Thirteen and Little Six to come forward, she believed that they would not hesitate.
Yu Wan felt that Jun Changâan treated Han Jingshu like Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen treated her. It was a relationship between loyalty and revolutionary friendship. Therefore, it was not strange for Jun Changâan to look for her. It was strange why Jun Changâan thought that she could treat Han Jingshu. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
