Shen Jingyan nodded and looked helplessly at the unconscious young man on the bed.

Sima Xuanmo, who was standing on the wall, wanted to go back and tell Brother Sanmeng that this young man might be a girl, but thinking that Sanmeng hated women so much, he disliked Yu'er in every possible way at that time. If Sanmeng knew this news, Maybe I won't help him.

Therefore, Sima Xuanmo ignored his conscience and decided to conceal his brother's suspicion.

After leaving Princess Dachang's Mansion, Sima Xuanmo did not rush back to Prince Qi's Mansion. Instead, he ordered several sets of furniture on the street and asked people to move them into Prince Xingyang's Mansion.

Then, he wandered around the street for a long time, even had a few drinks, and finally returned through the night and found Changsun Tao.

Lu Mingyu went to bed early because of fatigue. Changsun Tao was worried about disturbing Lu Mingyu's rest, so he went to the palace study with him.

Sima Xuanmo said: "King Qi, things are serious. Guess who I met on the street today?"

Changsun Tao asked him: "Who?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "Princess Xirong, Liu Duo."

Changsun Tao frowned instantly: "What did you say?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "In the past, I traveled in Xirong for a period of time and heard the locals praising Princess Liu Duo's beauty. I became curious and sneaked into the princess's teeth to peek, so I knew what the princess looked like. .”

"Today I was on the street, and a young man bumped into my carriage. I saw that the young man's face was exactly the same as Princess Liu Duo, so I sent him to San Meng, so that San Meng could look at him first."

"Now that we are fighting Wu Ti, Prince Qi's palace must be under surveillance. It is not as convenient as Sanmeng's."

Changsun Tao pondered for a long time, seeming to be thinking about something. Finally he asked: "Are you sure?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "I'm not sure. He is wearing men's clothes and dressing up as a man. Even so, I can't take off his clothes to confirm, but his face is indeed exactly the same as that of Princess Liuduo. I am absolutely sure of this."

Changsun Tao's fingers were lightly clasped on the table, and his expression was solemn: "King Xirong only has a daughter from Princess Liu Duo. The future throne will naturally fall to Princess Liu Duo. If Princess Liu Duo appears in Yujing City, it means that Xirong has Change."

Sima Xuanmo said: "This is what I am worried about. Think about it, if she is really a princess, how come the King of Xirong doesn't react at all? The whole world must have gone crazy."

"But Xirong didn't take any action. There are only two possibilities. One is that Princess Liu Duo is fine, and the other is that something happened to King Xirong, so there is no way to find Princess Liu Duo."

"In other words, not only did something happen to King Xirong, but everyone also thought that Princess Liu Duo was dead, so there was no search for her."

Changsun Tao sighed: "Xirong has served the Qin Dynasty for a hundred years, but because it is located in the barren Gobi Desert, the Qin people are unwilling to move there, so the integration of Xirong and the Qin has not been possible for a hundred years."

"The King of Xirong we chose this time is indeed easy to control, but the disadvantage of being too easy to control is that it is difficult for him to suppress the power of his own clan."

"Xirong has been cultivating and living for hundreds of years. Although they pay tribute every year, the Qin treasury actually needs to allocate more money to them."

"In recent years, natural and man-made disasters have occurred in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the supervision of Xirong has been neglected. Perhaps Xirong has quietly grown while we were at a loss."

Si Ma

Changsun Tao said: "It is true. The Qin treasury is empty and it is unable to start another war. If the Xirong come to attack, it will be very troublesome."

"In addition, Yan Yan is about to give birth, and I want to spend more time with her. If there is another war in the border area, I will definitely get busy."

Sima Xuanmo said: "You don't need to worry about this. There is still me and Ming Yong in the war, and there is also Feng Xiang in the court to support us. Now your Majesty can also stand alone. You will not be as isolated as before."

Changsun Tao said: "The most important thing right now is to confirm the identity of Princess Liu Duo. We have to have someone go to Xirong."

Sima Xuanmo said: "If we let people from Prince Qi's palace go, it would be too easy to be exposed. I will let my brothers go."

Changsun Tao said: "Let's do this for the time being. We must let them find out if there is anything unusual in Xirong as soon as possible. As for the person who is very similar to Princess Liu Duo, let Sanmeng go first. But Sanmeng is just a weak scholar, so it is a bit dangerous.

.”

Sima Xuanmo said: "He is there, so in order not to arouse suspicion, it is inconvenient for me to stay with him all the time."

Changsun Tao said: "I asked Ah Wu to go over and protect Sanmeng secretly."

Sima Xuanmo said: "Okay, as soon as there is news from Xirong, I will inform you immediately."

Changsun Tao nodded, and the two of them tentatively agreed on the charter. Because the matter had not been confirmed yet, they did not want to attract attention, so they did not tell Lu Mingyong and the others yet.

Sima Xuanmo took the opportunity to express his attitude towards Emperor Yuanwu's actions today: "Actually, even if everyone doesn't say it, appointing you as the governor is what everyone expects. Ming Yong and I both believe that the Qin Dynasty will definitely prosper in your hands."

Changsun Tao said: "I have no intention of becoming emperor. I am tired from all these years of running around. Now I just want to be a good husband and a good father."

Sima Xuanmo said nothing more. Anyway, it was a done deal, wasn't it?

Compared with the reaction of Prince Qi's Palace, the Duke's Palace of Qi is obviously much bigger, but now that the Queen Mother is under house arrest and her grandson is being held in Qilin Guards, no one dares to jump up and down anymore.

But when the news reached the ears of the Queen Mother, she fainted on the spot and woke up late at night.

Because Aunt Chunxi died and there was no capable person around her for the time being, it was Yuzhen who took care of her at this time.

Seeing that the Queen Mother woke up, Yuzhen complained impatiently: "Brother Huang is really a wolf-hearted person. When the Queen Mother was unconscious, my son and I sent people to invite you several times, but he didn't come to see you. He just sent the imperial doctor."

Upon hearing the news, the Queen Mother felt cold in her heart.

But she still quickly reminded: "Yu Zhen, don't say such things. Today is different from the past. Be careful that the walls have ears."

After suffering so much, Yuzhen also knew that if she didn't hide her true emotions, she would probably die in an ugly way.

So she curled her lips and said nothing more. She just asked: "Mother, are you hungry? I will bring you something to eat."

Although she was unwilling in her heart, she had to please her mother. This was her only life-saving straw. She did not want to lose this supporter.

The Queen Mother didn't know what Yuzhen was thinking in her heart, but when she heard Yuzhen's concern, she still felt a little relieved. She turned over desolately and said hoarsely: "No need, you should go to bed early!"

The Queen Mother is puzzled!

The ultimate goal of a man in the world, the supreme throne, how could this idiot son give it up to others?

He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to hand over the throne to Changsun Tao. Once King Qi ascends the throne, will the Xiao family still have a foothold in this court?

How could he not take the throne he had worked so hard for seriously and hand it over so easily without thinking about the Xiao family who had worked so hard for him for so many years.

White-eyed wolf!

What a white-eyed wolf.

It’s okay if I don’t have the Xiao family in my heart.

Not even her, the queen, had slept for a long time without even taking a look. She really raised such a son in vain.

The Empress Dowager became angrier and aggrieved as she thought about it. She completely forgot that the reason why Emperor Yuanwu was eager to establish a heir apparent was that "he was seriously poisoned and was about to die soon." She blamed her son for not caring about her, but she had never cared about her son.

Yuzhen looked at her mother's back, disgust flashed through her eyes, and she couldn't help cursing in her heart: She is old and useless after all.

Returning to the house where she lived next door, Yuzhen took out several booklets from a box, which turned out to be several medical books.

It's just that the medical book is old and the paper is yellowed.

This was sent by Yu Yin before the Yu family lost power.

She clutched the medical book tightly, and thinking of the news Yu Yin told her, she smiled like a madman and said: "Lu Mingyong, you abandoned me like a worn-out shoe and brought me to this point, so no wonder I want to
