Chapter 421: Miracle Medicine for Good Pregnancy

"Oh my god, you, you, you...you're not a time traveler, too, are you?"

Meng Guxue suddenly came forward. She hurriedly held Baili Chengyou's face, looked at his forehead, then touched the top of his head, and finally met his eyes.

"How do you see so clearly? It scares me a little!"

Baili Chengyou felt Meng Guxue's rapid breathing on the tip of his nose. He frowned, and the boy's brightness returned to his face in an instant.

"Also? So...the reason why you are so different is because - time travel?"

Meng Guxue suddenly closed her hands and covered her mouth, appearing to be panicked, but actually looking at Baili Chengyou with implicit inquiring eyes.

She had never deliberately disguised herself in front of Baili, so Baili should have been suspicious for a long time.

During this period of time, before the Qiao family left, she really had to decide how to go in the future...

"Don't, don't interrupt! I'm asking you first!"

Meng Guxue raised her voice slightly, as if she felt guilty.

Baili Chengyou raised his lips. He seemed to have already made a guess in his heart. At this moment, he did not question Meng Guxue.

"It's just a little bit of trivial insight after seeing it too much. Don't think about it."

"The enthronement ceremony is less than half a month away. It's time for you to learn the etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven."

"Sacrifice to heaven?" Meng Guxue's heart skipped a beat. The only person who could worship heaven and earth with the king was...

Baili Chengyou lazily leaned back against the wall of the car and said matter-of-factly: "The king's wife naturally wants to pay homage to the ancient gods of heaven and earth together with the king."

Hearing this, Meng Guxue suddenly lowered her eyes and did not respond immediately.

Lady of the country...

This is not only a title, but also responsibility and trust.

Baili Chengyou frowned slightly when he saw this. He leaned over and whispered: "What's wrong?"

Meng Guxue raised her head and looked at Baili Chengyou, with thousands of thoughts flowing in her heart, and finally said bluntly:

"Baili, do you really want me to be the wife of the king?"

"The wife of the king has a great responsibility, and I am the princess by marriage. This status is quite embarrassing. Besides...actually, what I yearn for is to be like the second sister-in-law——"

Baili Chengyou's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. He suddenly raised his hand and pinched Meng Guxue's face to stop her from continuing.

"We agreed to be a couple for the rest of our lives. Are you deceiving me? I will marry you. If you don't become the wife of the country, who will?"

"As for your identity, as long as I'm here, who dares to say anything about it?"

"If you like to be as affectionate as my second sister-in-law, why don't I go out for a run with you when I have free time?"

"As for you saying that the responsibility is heavy..."

Baili Chengyou looked serious and said with a serious face: "This is a fact, but I think you are completely qualified."

Baili Chengyou answered Meng Guxue's confusion point by point, especially the last sentence of affirmation, without any hesitation or perfunctory.

Meng Guxue's heart warmed slightly when she heard this. Seeing Baili Chengyou speaking so confidently, she couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.

Baili Chengyou was still angry at Meng Guxue's words. When he saw this, he asked coldly: "What's wrong?"

Meng Guxue held her chin up, and couldn't help but have a smile in her eyes. She didn't even notice it, and she couldn't suppress the curve of the corners of her mouth at all.

"Baili, you don't really like me, do you? Look how reluctant you are to let me go! Tell me, when did you fall in love with me?"

When Baili Chengyou heard this, he was startled at first, and the next moment his ears suddenly turned red. Without any warning, he picked up the curtain fence on the side and put it on his head, opened the curtain and jumped out of the car.

Aja's exclamation sounded outside the car: "Your Highness, where are you going? A'Tu, follow me quickly!"

Meng Guxue opened the car curtain and looked out, and saw Baili Chengyou's somewhat helpless figure running away. For some reason, his face turned red, and he felt a hint of embarrassment.

Ajie turned around and saw Meng Guxue's face turning red as a monkey's butt, and scratched his head in confusion.

What happened to Your Highness and the Imperial Concubine? Are you blushing after a quarrel?

"Aja, go to Shen Mansion."

Meng Guxue gave instructions and slipped into the carriage a little awkwardly.

Looking at the empty space opposite, she, who was single from birth, experienced at this moment what it means to bump into each other.

It's over, is she going to fall in love? ?

————

That night, the envoy from the Northern Kingdom came to the other courtyard.

"How's it going? Have you checked everything out?" Che Hebi sat in the candlelight and lowered his head to ask the man in black kneeling in front of him.

The man in black nodded, "My lord, my subordinates have gone to investigate. They are indeed a pair of good people who have been looking for a child for many years. They also secretly visited the neighbors, including those who have received favors from Yuan Liu. They are all right."

When Che Hebi heard this, he slowly stood up. If you look carefully, you will find that his shoulders are shaking slightly.

"Where's the miracle doctor?"

"My subordinates also made an unannounced visit. The miracle doctor was not very famous before, but he did have some skills from his ancestors. This time he gave the couple named Liu a pill in the ancient temple, and it became a success."

"pill?"

When Che Hebi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen in disbelief.

"What kind of pill can have such miraculous effects?"

You must know that in order to have a child for more than ten years, the king has tried no less than a hundred methods, taken all kinds of bitter medicines, and even prayed to gods and Buddhas, but he has never got what he wanted.

"My subordinate bribed the boy next to Liu Yuanwai. I heard from him that this pill was left by the father of the miracle doctor. This is the only pill that is called Good Pregnancy."

"Only one?" Che Hebi frowned fiercely.

"That's what the boy said." The man in black replied respectfully.

Che Hebi walked back and forth a few steps after hearing this, and in the silence, he slowly stopped.

"Let's go to the hospital!"

Although this matter is very strange, even if there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den ahead, as long as there is a little hope, he will try it!

The king's childlessness is the main source of turmoil in the court. Those side branches are ready to take action because there is no successor to the throne and they all want to take this step to the throne.

He saw the car and the jade in his eyes, and was anxious for the king. He was also worried that the Yong Dynasty would take advantage of the internal fighting.

I thought that taking the young master back would solve the situation, but I didn't expect that the young master...

Thinking of Shen Yuanbai, Che Hebi couldn't help but sigh.

At that time, the princess was righteous and made peace with the Yong Dynasty to stop the war between the two countries. He admired his chariot and jade, and naturally valued the princess's children.

It's just that the young master grew up in the Yong Dynasty. This matter has been criticized by others, and now there is the incident of seducing the soul and attracting the god.

He wrote to the Young Master and mentioned the matter of residual Gu in a tactful way, but the Young Master said that he did not know about the existence of residual Gu.

The young master also reminded him that this might be Baili Chengyou's conspiracy to drive a wedge between them.

Grand Master Che could figure out the secret inside, but he also knew that the young master followed the princess and was unusually smart and alert, so this was probably a story made up by the young master to reassure him.

Where exactly this remnant Gu is now is a mystery, but one thing is undoubted, the mother Gu is in the young master's body.

He knew the horror of the soul-drawing Gu. Back then, the princess relied on this Gu to turn the tide for the Northern Kingdom and even fooled Emperor Yong.

If the young master really has residual poison in his hand...

At this point in his thoughts, Master Che couldn't help but feel frightened.

During these days, he was always thinking about whether it was right or wrong to bring such an intelligent young master back to the North Country.

Just when he was hesitating, a miracle doctor suddenly appeared in Nanli Kyoto.

If there really was a magic medicine like "Good Pregnancy" in the world, no matter what the plot behind it was, he had to go and find out.

If he can really get what he wants this time, and the situation in the court will be stable, he will be indispensable... he can only feel sorry for the princess and the young master!

Thinking of this, Che Hebi's eyes flashed with determination and he strode out.

Chapter 422: Pretending to be suspicious?

It was a dark and windy night, so Che Hebi put on night clothes and rushed to the hospital with six secret guards.

It was already past midnight and the streets were quiet.

Che Hebi arrived outside the hospital, and with a sullen expression he gestured to the secret guards beside him. Following the order, the two of them jumped into the hospital holding Che Hebi on the left and the other on the right.

Before they landed, the sound of cups falling to the ground came from the room, followed by an old voice shouting: "Who is it!"

There was a flash of candlelight in the room, followed by the sound of tables and chairs clashing and calls for help.

Che Hebi's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this.

No, someone is ahead of them!

"Quick! Protect the miracle doctor at all costs!"

A secret guard stayed behind to protect Che and Bi, and the other five people rushed in.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and an old man ran out in a panic. His face was pale, showing that he was very frightened.

Inside the room, a man in black clothes was covered in white powder and was shaking his head.

As soon as the old man went out, he saw five men in black. He was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and almost lost his breath. A secret guard hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, while the other four rushed into the house.

In an instant, the sound of fighting was heard in the house, and Che and Bi couldn't help but look solemn when they saw that the man in black could hold on despite being one against four.

At this time, a figure broke through the roof and flew out, followed by four people chasing after him. Che and Bi stared at the black figure, their expressions getting increasingly ugly.

This man in black has sharp moves and clean movements, and is especially good at close combat.

Moreover, looking at the throat-locking move he used to save the enemy, the movement of his fingers spreading out looked exactly like a trained Northern warrior!

Northerners!

This person might be from their northern country!

With his thoughts at this point, Shen Yuanbai's face suddenly flashed across Che Hebi's mind.

He had already agreed to take the young master back to the country, and then the king would do his best to make the young master his heir. If...if the king had a son at this time, it would be the greatest threat to the young master...

This thought flashed through Che Hebi's mind, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Seeing that the commotion here was getting louder, Che Hebi was worried about attracting patrols from Nanli Kingdom, so he quickly shouted: "Don't chase the poor bandits!"

When the four secret guards heard this, they immediately stopped their hands, and the man immediately turned around and ran away. But just before he jumped off the roof, he turned around suddenly, and an arrow flew out from his hand, straight towards the old man in the courtyard!

Fortunately, the old man was some distance away from him, and the secret guard guarding the old man was not careless. He immediately raised his sword and cut off the arrow in his sleeve.

When Che and Bi saw that the old man was almost in danger, their hearts almost jumped into their throats.

This killer was so ruthless that he must have received a death order. Obviously, someone didn't want him to get the fertility pill!

Seeing the man in black fleeing in defeat, Che Hebi looked gloomy and felt cold in his heart.

Is it someone who is raising suspicion here, or is it Young Master...

"Ah, don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The old man had narrowly escaped death. Now he felt relieved and immediately begged for mercy with a trembling voice.

Seeing this, Che Hebi stepped forward and signaled the secret guards to take the old man to the side room.

After entering the house, there was a strong smell of herbal medicine. It turned out that this side room was where the old man usually made medicine.

Che Hebi turned around and asked in a cold voice: "Are there any pills that can give birth to children?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately burst into tears and exclaimed: "That member Liu really did me a lot of harm! I clearly asked him to keep quiet, but he came to thank me in a big way, and he really got me killed!"

Che Hebi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Do you really have the fertility medicine?"

The old man shook his head violently, "It's gone, the last one will be given to Mr. Liu!"

Che Hebi's face suddenly darkened, he approached in two or three steps, and winked at the secret guard.

The secret guard understood, raised his hand, grasped the old man's four fingers, and forcefully pulled them apart. The old man howled in pain and tears rolled down his face.

"No, no, no, dear man, spare your life! Don't torment me!"

Che Hebi leaned over and asked with a gloomy eyebrow: "Are there any left? I can make it without you. I can wait as long as I want!"

The old man shook his head desperately, "It can't be made. The recipe has been lost long ago. This pill was left behind by my late father!"

Hope is right in front of us. Che Hebi will never give up no matter what. After more than ten years, let alone the king, even he has developed an obsession!

"I will die without you! Step on his legs and break them!"

The secret guard next to him received the order and stepped on the crook of the old man's knee with his right foot. With a sharp click, the old man's leg was broken on the spot!

"ah!"

The old man wailed loudly, extremely harshly.

The secret guard raised his foot and stepped on the other leg. The old man begged with a pale face and a cold sweat: "Don't... don't step on it, there is... one left!"

The secret guard immediately stopped his strength, with a look of ecstasy on Che Hebi's face. He grabbed the old man's clothes and asked, "Where is it! Where is it!"

The old man shook his head and gritted his teeth and said: "You must swear that if you get the pill, you will not hurt me, otherwise you will die anyway, and I will not let you get your wish no matter what!"

Che Hebi's expression changed, but the urgency in his heart made him not hesitate at all, "Okay, I promise not to hurt your life!"

The old man still shook his head, "Not enough, I don't believe it! You have to swear that if you hurt me, even if you use "Good Pregnancy", the person who takes the medicine will have no children in his life!"

"you!"

These words simply stepped on Che Hebi's painful toes, but the old man ignored them in order to survive.

Che Hebi looked at the old man's desperate look, and the doubts in his heart quietly increased.

He had been holding on to the idea that this was a trap from beginning to end, but now he saw that the old man acted so naturally and flawlessly that for a moment, even he couldn't see the reality clearly...

Che Hebi took a deep breath. As long as the pill was effective, what would he do to the old man's life?

"Okay, I swear-"

After Che Hebi swore an oath, he glanced at the old man coldly.

It is true that he will not hurt this old guy's life, but he will definitely take him back to the North Country!

After all, what if this old guy fooled him with fake medicine!

When the old man saw Che Hebi swearing an oath, his face calmed down a bit, he sighed resignedly, and then raised his finger to point to the medicine cabinets covering the entire wall.

"The third small cabinet from the left in the fourth row."

Che Hebi didn't wait for the other secret guards to take action. He couldn't wait to step forward, opened the small cabinet, and saw a white porcelain bottle inside.

He took out the porcelain bottle, his hands trembled slightly, but he did not dare to move rashly. He walked to the old man and squatted down, and asked quickly: "Is this it? How to use it? Can you open it and take a look?"

The old man nodded with a grimace.

"This is it. I collected it myself, so I can't remember it wrong."

"There is only one pill in it. It depends on whether it is opened. It can be taken by both men and women, but there is really no guarantee that it will work."

Chapter 423 The initiative is in their hands

Che Hebi's breathing was extremely rapid, but the moment he opened the cork, he held his breath forcibly.

He glanced at the mouth of the bottle and found an inconspicuous black pill lying quietly at the bottom of the bottle.

"Just...just a small pill?"

Che Hebi quickly corked the bottle, and his voice trembled when he spoke.

The old man nodded and said with worry on his face: "Liu Yuanwai and his wife have already tried it personally, and it was Liu Yuanwai who took it, but my father also gave instructions back then, so it may not be possible."

"It's okay...it's okay...it's good to have hope."

Che Hebi raised the porcelain vase and faced the candlelight, with bitterness and hope in his eyes.

He calmed down a little, hid the porcelain bottle safely in his arms, and coldly told the guard behind him: "Take it away!"

When the old man saw the secret guard lifting him up, he was so frightened that he shouted: "No! You just said you wouldn't hurt my life!"

Che Hebi raised his lips slightly, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I have to trouble you to come with us until the medicine takes effect."

"No! I'm not going! I'm not going!"

The old man struggled desperately, but he was old, frail, and had a broken leg, so he had no room to refuse.

The secret guard found him too noisy, so he put a piece of cloth into his mouth and held his arms out of the room.

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"

The old man's eyes were round and protruding. After struggling violently, seeing that he had no way to escape, he actually... was so frightened that he peed on the spot!

Che Hebi vaguely smelled a strange smell, turned his head and caught a glimpse of the old man's wet crotch, and his suspicion subsided a little.

"Here! Sir! This is where there are sounds of fighting and cries for help!"

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and then a strong force kicked open the courtyard door. The courtyard was illuminated by torches, and Nanli's patrol came face to face with Che Hebi and his party!

"Uh-huh!"

When the old man saw this, his spirit suddenly lifted up and he started screaming.

Che Hebi's expression suddenly changed, and the secret guard whispered worriedly: "Sir!"

"Let's go!" Che Hebi gritted his teeth and retreated hastily.

But at this time, the old man saw a glimmer of life, but he twisted back desperately.

When the secret guard saw this, he immediately showed murderous intent, but Che Hebi thought of the oath he had just made and hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill him!"

It's better to believe that it has something than to believe that it doesn't exist. In the past ten years, this has been one of the few hopes!

Seeing the patrolman rushing in, Che Hebi gritted his teeth and said, "Let him go, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, the secret guard suddenly grabbed the old man and threw him directly at the patrol guard, while the others hurriedly retreated while protecting the car and the bi!

The patrolman was blocked for a while, and when he crossed the courtyard wall and pursued again, he saw only a few figures melting into the night from a distance.

Among the guards in the courtyard, a person hurriedly squatted in front of the old man and asked quickly: "High School Lieutenant, are you okay?"

The firelight flickered and shone on the face of the speaker. It was Ajie!

And this old man is the helper Ajie personally invited, Colonel Gao Sha, who has long since retired from the Yulin Army!

As Aja said, he suddenly smelled a strange smell between his nose. He looked down and his expression changed slightly.

But the old man who was greedy for life and afraid of death just now grinned openly and said, "It's a full performance. It's just a matter of face. As long as I don't miss the business of His Highness and the Imperial Concubine, it's fine."

Aja couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

Seeing others gradually gathering around him, he immediately took off his outer robe and put it on Gao Sha, whispering:

"The school captain's contribution to this success is indispensable. Aja also admires him greatly. He will definitely inform His Highness and the Imperial Concubine to ask for credit for the school captain."

At this time, separated by a wall, the three members of the Qiao family were standing in a row, listening in the corner.

Wall: Qiaojiaଉଇଲ

It's just that the person on the far left is wearing night clothes, and there is still white powder on his body that has not been wiped off.

[Hehe, you didn't expect it, but my father personally took action just now! 】

Jiaojiao's chin was slightly raised, her face full of pride.

(⑅˘̤ ᵕ˘̤)♡

[My dad is an unparalleled hero! We have been dealing with Beiguo for decades, and my father is familiar with Beiguo's martial arts ideas! 】

Qiao Zhongguo heard Jiaojiao praising him in his heart, and he was so happy that his tail almost went up to the sky!

(๑˘ ³˘๑)

Jiaojiao, Daddy's sweetheart, if you can praise me, praise me more!

Qiao Tianjing: "..."

Dad, your pride is almost coming to your son's face...

It wasn't until the sound from the wall next door was completely silent that Qiao Tianjing hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and sneaked back to the Envoy Courtyard with Qiao Zhongguo.

Qiao Zhongguo went to wash his face and change his clothes. When he came back, he was listening to his eldest son analyzing:

"With all the coincidences today, Master Che must have doubts in his heart, but...that's enough."

"Hehehe, brother, you are very good~"

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her thumbs with a smile.

They never expected Grand Master Che to fully believe in this series of arrangements. They just quietly planted a seed of doubt in Grand Master Che's heart.

From the defective poison to the fertility medicine, Master Che must be wary of Shen Yuanbai, but he is smart after all and will not be easily led by their plans.

It's just that the human heart is complex. Once something takes root in the heart, it will continue to pick up clues from all around to improve and grow itself.

What's more, if Shen Yuanbai followed Yu Liu's orders, his plan would have been to overthrow the Northern Royal Family and replace it.

Once Shen Yuanbai shows any signs of cheating, the doubts in Taishi Che's heart will immediately be confirmed!

In the past, they were just trying to catch everyone, but now they are taking the initiative to attack, and it is really fun!

The initiative is in their hands!

————

Early the next morning, I went to an inconspicuous home in Nanli Kyoto.

"Sir, I received the news this morning that the miracle doctor who was in the limelight just yesterday was attacked at night and almost died. Now he is being escorted out of Beijing by the official's family."

Yin Zhu stood aside and said worriedly.

Compared with the pampered and charming person before, Yinzhu now looks much more haggard and seems to be several years older.

On the couch in the courtyard, Shen Yuanbai heard the words but did not move at all.

He was quietly looking at the square sky above his head, his face still cold and cool, and he didn't seem to be affected in any way.

Seeing this, Yin Zhu could not help but flash a flash of eagerness in his eyes, "Young master, Grand Master Che must have taken action! Although there may not be any fertility medicine in this world, what happened last night is enough to show that Grand Master Che -"

"have."

Shen Yuanbai suddenly spoke lightly and stopped Yin Zhu's words.

Yin Zhu didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion: "Sir, what did you say?"

Shen Yuanbai stood up slowly, lazily bent his right leg, put his arm on it, and said lightly: "There is a fertility medicine in this world."

Chapter 424 The super invincible baby in the world

"What?"

Shen Yuanbai's tone was so determined that Yin Zhu looked shocked and couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Young Master, this... this can't be done. I have been in Nanli for more than ten years, and have been advising the eldest prince to recruit talented people and strangers, just to find the secret recipe for having a child, so as to cut off the king's path."

"But after trying it for so many years, there is no such magical formula in the world, and it doesn't even work for Gu insects."

"Didn't you say that yesterday? The miracle doctor who gave birth to a child appeared strangely. Perhaps it was a trick by the Qiao family and Baili Chengyou to separate the young master from you and Master Che!"

Yin Zhu's voice was a little anxious, because if there really was a fertility medicine in the world, Shen Yuanbai's situation would be even more difficult.

Even once King Jinyu gave birth to his legitimate son, Shen Yuanbai was completely reduced to an abandoned son in their eyes.

Shen Yuanbai raised his hand to brush off the fallen leaves on his hem, and said lightly: "Yinzhu, do you know who we are fighting?"

Yin Zhu was stunned for a moment, wondering why Shen Yuanbai suddenly changed the topic.

But at this time, Shen Yuanbai raised his finger and pointed to the sky.

"There may not be a fertility pill in this world, but Heaven does. Unfortunately, even Heaven is on the opposite side of us."

"So Grand Master Che should have obtained the real fertility medicine by now."

Yin Zhu frowned when he heard this. He couldn't help but walked to Shen Yuanbai and asked with confusion: "Master, what do you mean by this? How come this slave...can't understand."

Sometimes she couldn't help but feel that the young master's thoughts were deeper and more unpredictable than those of the princess back then.

"Yinzhu, are you all ready?" Shen Yuanbai had no intention of explaining, and raised his head to ask another matter.

Yin Zhu held her breath as her heart surged, but when she met Shen Yuanbai's pristine eyes, she suddenly became discouraged again and replied with great respect:

"Master, everything is ready as you ordered. But Master, is Miss Qiao really that important?"

"Um."

Shen Yuanbai responded lightly, put his arms behind his head and lay down again, continuing to look up at the sky.

Yin Zhu stared at it for a while, sighed secretly, turned around and left.

But before she took a few steps, Shen Yuanbai's voice suddenly sounded again.

"Yinzhu, how is the scenery in the North? Is there an endless sky? Is there an eagle fighting in the sky? Is the eagle... free and unfettered?"

This simple question brought Yin Zhu's mind back to the past in an instant.

At that time, she rode behind the princess. On the hillside in the distance, the handsome and handsome Prince Di was sitting on the horse, looking eagerly here.

She and Jinzhu looked at each other and smiled, then slowly reined in the reins and watched the princess gallop away, meeting her sweetheart on the slope.

That was the most free day in her memory.

Yin Zhu was immersed in his own memories and did not answer Shen Yuanbai immediately, but Shen Yuanbai had already seen the answer from the smile on Yin Zhu's face.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at the sky above his head and sighed softly: "How wonderful it would be if it was my mother-in-law who survived..."

The moment Yin Zhu came back to her senses, she happened to hear this murmur. Her eyes couldn't help but feel sore, and the fatigue and frustration of these days came up in dense numbers.

Even she, who has experienced the world for a long time, has a sense of powerlessness. The young man on the recliner still looks thin, but countless expectations and lives have been pressed on him, and he must be very, very tired...

"Sir, how about you..."

"Yinzhu, I will not let my mother-in-law down."

Yin Zhu even had the idea of persuading Shen Yuanbai to give up, but Shen Yuanbai seemed to have already made up his mind.

Destiny carries everyone forward. Some people break free from the constraints, while others sink deeper and deeper. They may break and then stand up, or they may drown in it.

"Go ahead."

Shen Yuanbai issued an order to expel guests.

Yin Zhu turned back three times with each step, and when she crossed the courtyard gate, she couldn't help but shed tears.

She couldn't see any youthful vigor in the young master. The bitter consequences of the princess's desperate plan fell on the young master in the end.

Yin Zhu's footsteps gradually faded away, and the surroundings fell into silence again.

Shen Yuanbai slowly closed his eyes and thought to himself:

Miss Qiao, I hope all my confusions can be answered by you.

————

September 15th is Jiaojiao's birthday.

Meng Guxue came to the Envoy Courtyard early and dug Jiaojiao out of bed.

"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~"

Jiaojiao was still dreaming in a daze when she suddenly heard the long-lost birthday song and sat upright with a look of horror on her face!

When she met Meng Guxue's big, flashing eyes, Jiaojiao was stunned for a while, and then she slowly took a breath.

"Sister Meng, you scared me to death. I thought I went back."

Meng Guxue tilted her head in confusion upon hearing this, "Jiaojiao, why are you so scared? Don't you ever want to go back? I'm so eager to go back!"

Jiaojiao shook her head seriously, "Sister Meng, I have found my home here."

Meng Guxue was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered that Jiaojiao had mentioned that she was an orphan in her previous life.

Her heart softened and she touched Jiaojiao's head, "Yes, it's better here! After all, you have a super powerful father now!"

When Meng Guxue talked about Qiao Zhongguo, she always had a look of admiration on her face, and Jiaojiao couldn't help but be amused.

"Sister Meng, where are you? Have you made up your mind?"

Meng Guxue had been clamoring to travel around the world before, but recently Jiaojiao rarely listened to her.

After hearing this, Meng Guxue sat down opposite Jiaojiao and said with a serious face: "Jiaojiao, I... I want to give it a try."

Jiaojiao realized immediately, smiled and took Meng Guxue's hand, "I knew it! You and Baili Chengyou looked unusual at first sight, those pink bubbles were swirling between you two!"

Meng Guxue couldn't help but blush slightly after being teased by Jiaojiao in front of her face.

Jiaojiao really liked Meng Guxue. She thought about it and then said seriously:

"Sister Meng, Baili Chengyou is really smart. You should be more careful in the future and protect yourself."

"You will be Baili Chengyou's wife in the future, and you will be the wife of the leader of Nanli Kingdom, but don't forget that you are yourself."

"Sister Meng, I have always believed that our arrival is justified. With the modern knowledge in your mind, Sister Meng, you will definitely be able to benefit the people of Nanli in the future."

"I have no doubt that Sister Meng will definitely leave a mark in the history of Nanli!"

With bright eyebrows, Jiaojiao held Meng Guxue's hand tightly and sent her blessings.

Meng Guxue was deeply moved when she heard this, and she rushed forward and hugged Jiaojiao.

"Ah! Jiaojiao, what kind of super invincible baby are you in this world? Woohoo, I really love you to death!"

Here is a warm and cozy scene, the Yongguo Qiao Mansion thousands of miles away:

Qiao Diyi, holding a petite quilt:

.·'¯'(＞▂＜)'¯'·.

Xiaosi holding a birthday gift in his hand:

๐·°(৹˃ᗝ˂৹)°·๐

Woohoo, they were actually absent from my little sister (Sister Qiao)'s third birthday. I burst into tears! ! !

Chapter 425 I thought of a place

Meng Guxue carried the neatly dressed Jiaojiao to the living room, where Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing were already waiting.

At this time, the father and son were staring at a strange round pastry on the table with three candles on it.

When Jiaojiao saw this, her eyes lit up slightly, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Meng Guxue.

The corner of Meng Guxue's mouth raised slightly, "Hey, surprise, I started thinking about it a few days ago. Although it tastes different, it finally looks similar!"

Seeing Meng Guxue coming to the table with Jiaojiao in her arms, Qiao Zhongguo immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "What is this and why are there three candles on it?"

Strangely unlucky...

Jiaojiao covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, "Dad, this is a surprise prepared by Sister Meng for me. The three candles mean that Jiaojiao is three years old!"

Qiao Zhongguo shook his head, "No, no, no, I have something important to do in the afternoon. This is not a good sign."

Finally, at Qiao Zhongguo's insistence, the candle turned into a single candle. After Jiaojiao made a wish and blew it out, Qiao Zhongguo quickly pulled out the candle and quietly recited "Amitabha, don't blame me."

Meng Guxue sent Jiaojiao to Qiao Tianjing's arms, while she cut the cake with her own hands, smiling and feeling very relaxed.

Jiaojiao looked at this scene with a grin on her lips, and couldn't help but feel a sense of weirdness in her heart.

Did the ancients eat cake? How strange!

Meng Guxue handed the first piece to Jiaojiao. At this time, the smile on her lips was still there, but her eyes were a little red.

"Next time it's Jiaojiao's birthday, I may not be there, so I have to celebrate Jiaojiao very seriously."

"I wish my little sister a long life, good health and no worries!"

Jiaojiao's heart softened when she heard this. The words "live a hundred years" were full of Meng Guxue's blessings and worries. Meng Guxue was even more anxious than she was when talking about the "three-year-old death".

"Thank you, Sister Meng. Don't worry, even if I become an old woman, I will still come here in a carriage to look for you, to see your children and grandchildren, and to see the legendary wife of a generation of kings!"

She took the cake with charming eyebrows, lowered her head and took a bite. The sweetness was so sweet that it touched her heart.

Meng Guxue was a little sad at first, but she was immediately amused by Jiaojiao's words.

Several people shared the cake. Meng Guxue and Jiaojiao said it was delicious, but Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing felt that it was really disgusting.

Meng Guxue ate until she was satisfied. Then she raised her head and asked, "I just heard Master Qiao say that you have something important to do this afternoon?"

Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Sister Meng, I have never experienced the scenery of Nanli since I came here. I heard from my father that there is a very big flower in Nanli that can also squeeze oil!"

Meng Guxue was stunned when she heard this, "Hey, Jiaojiao, do you want to see sunflowers? There is a large area planted in the southern suburbs, I will take you there!"

"Sister Meng, this time is a special situation. You should take me there next time."

Jiaojiao looked at Meng Guxue meaningfully.

Meng Guxue couldn't help but be startled when she met Jiaojiao's eyes, but she quickly reacted and opened her mouth slightly, "Could it be... today?"

Seeing that Meng Guxue had reacted, Jiaojiao looked serious and nodded, "Yes, today is the day."

A trace of worry flashed across Meng Guxue's face, "But, will he really come?"

"Will do."

This sentence was echoed by Qiao Tianjing, and he was extremely confident.

In the afternoon of the same day, a carriage drove out from the Yongguo Envoy Courtyard. Jiaojiao sat in it obediently. Qiao Zhongguo, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Bo were guarding the two sides on horseback.

Meng Guxue wanted to go with her, but Jiaojiao was worried that Meng Guxue would be in danger, so she didn't let her follow.

Meng Guxue was worried that she would be held back, so she didn't dare to mess around. She just said that she would wait in the other courtyard no matter how late it was, and she must see Jiaojiao return safely.

————

As soon as the Qiao family arrived in the southern suburbs, Yinzhu received the message soon.

Shen Yuanbai had told her not to miss any information about the Qiao family, so Yin Zhu didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly searched for it.

"Sir, there is something going on in the Qiao family."

Shen Yuanbai on the recliner slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

Upon seeing this, Yin Zhu continued: "The spies just sent news that Qiao Zhongguo went to the southern suburbs of Kwai Kwai Field with a pair of children and a bodyguard. It seems that they were there for fun."

"We have searched all around the southern suburbs and found no trace of the Qiao family's secret guards..."

Speaking of this, Yin Zhu was also a little hesitant. The Qiao family dared to go out so blatantly in a foreign country without even bringing a few extra guards. They were just... like "walking fish bait."

Shen Yuanbai was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and even raised the corner of his mouth with some self-mockery.

"We are busy asking you to enter the urn, but it turns out that the other party wants to be in the same place as us."

"The Qiao family is giving me a chance. Sure enough that night...she also realized that she had exposed her secret, so is she not going to hide it anymore?"

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai stood up neatly and started to walk out.

Upon seeing this, Yin Zhu hurriedly came up to him and asked quickly: "Master, where are you going? It's very dangerous outside now. It's not appropriate for you to show up."

Shen Yuanbai paused, tilted his head and said frankly: "Yinzhu, I want to go to the southern suburbs."

Yin Zhu was startled when he heard this and shook his head hastily.

"Sir, if the Qiao family wanted to lure you there, you would be even more reluctant to go. Who knows if they have deployed people secretly? This is most likely a trap!"

Shen Yuanbai's expression did not change, "Of course this is a trap, but killing me? Not necessarily."

Yinzhu was a little confused by what he said, so why should the Qiao family invite the young master?

Shen Yuanbai thought for a while and realized that he could not go alone this time, so he patiently explained to Yinzhu:

"They may have wanted to kill me in the past, but now, they may want me to go to the North Kingdom and disrupt the royal family in the North."

"Yinzhu, there must be a war between the Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom. The Yong Dynasty may even be preparing for war."

"In the face of the general trend of the two countries, if I am not wrong, what they want now is to hope that the Northern Kingdom's royal family will begin to disintegrate from the inside in order to exchange for fewer casualties."

"If I die easily, how can this drama be performed? Oh, they think highly of me. Do they think that I can shake the entire Northern Kingdom's royal family with my own strength?"

"And the fertility medicine. If I die and they give the fertility medicine to Master Che, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?"

"Unless they start by bringing in the "miraculous doctor who delivers children," the target has always been me. In this case, this trip will be life-threatening, and the fertility medicine may be fake."

When Shen Yuanbai said these words, his tone was very calm, but it made Yin Zhu beside him feel excited and full of horror.

"So you still have to be on guard when you go this time, Yinzhu, you are like this..."

Shen Yuanbai lowered his voice and gave a few instructions.

Yinzhu sounded worried, "Sir, since you know that this trip is fraudulent, why do you still take risks?"

"To put it bluntly, I really don't understand why you insist on going to see the Qiao family."

Shen Yuanbai's eyes were full of emotions when he heard this, and he was a little lost in thought. After a while, he faintly murmured:

"Perhaps, I don't want to live in confusion anymore..."

Yin Zhu didn't hear clearly, so he came closer and asked, "Sir, what did you say?"

However, at this time, Shen Yuanbai had already strode out.

ps: No, just one chapter. The next chapter is about Shen Yuanbai and Jiaojiao meeting. It's so difficult to write and I'm not satisfied with it.

Chapter 426 Let's be the same age as our peers

Southern suburb of Kyoto.

Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Zhongguo's arms, and she looked in awe at the endless fields of sunflowers and sunflowers in front of her.

It's really big!

Her little brat's body now has a feeling that it will never come out again after entering the Kwai Kwai field...

Qiao Zhongguo frowned slightly, obviously his mind was not on the scenery in front of him.

Jiaojiao felt her father's tense body, raised her head, smiled and reassured, "Don't worry, Dad, everything will be fine."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo rubbed his chin against Jiaojiao's little head and nodded with a smile.

"Dad is not worried, he is just very emotional. Our Qiao family and Shen Yuanbai fought from Yong Dynasty to Nanli, and today we are finally going to meet him openly."

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he nodded with a complicated expression.

Qiao Bo didn't have so many complicated thoughts. Anyway, he would hit wherever the general pointed out in this life. It was very simple.

While Qiao Bo was thinking this, he looked up and saw about twenty men in black suddenly appeared in the distance in broad daylight, and the young man in white walking in the middle, with his handsome features and eye-catching features, was none other than Shen Yuanbai!

"General, we're here!" Qiao Bo whispered.

Qiao Zhongguo immediately turned around after hearing this, and the two groups looked at each other from a distance, testing each other in silence.

At this time, Shen Yuanbai raised his right hand and waved it forward gently. The men in black behind him stepped forward with swords drawn, their steps were fast and their killing intent was fierce!

Upon seeing this, Qiao Bo immediately drew out the long knife from his waist and stood in front of Qiao Zhongguo, with no fear on his face.

Jiaojiao sat firmly in Qiao Zhongguo's arms, looking past the dead soldiers who were speeding towards her, and fixed on Shen Yuanbai who was not moving in the distance.

At this time, the Merit Mall next to her was floating in the "Rebound Talisman" column.

Whether life or death today depends on Shen Yuanbai's own choice.

If he came here with the intention of killing him from the beginning, then everyone he brought today, including himself, would die under their own swords due to the effect of the "Rebound Talisman".

However, Jiaojiao hasn't moved yet. She frowns slightly, feeling that Shen Yuanbai in the distance is... a little different from what she remembered.

The group of dead soldiers rushed ten steps in front of them. Qiao Bo had already raised his sword, and even Jiao Jiao stretched out her fingers. But at this moment, a shout suddenly came from far away:

"enough!"

As soon as he said this, all the dead soldiers in front of him receded like the tide, well-trained and without hesitation.

Jiaojiao raised her head and looked towards where the sound came from, and saw another Shen Yuanbai walking towards her from a distance. Although she could not see his expression clearly, she could tell that his steps were steady and unhurried.

Jiaojiao's eyes lit up slightly.

Right, this is him!

Just now, she felt that the first "Shen Yuanbai" who appeared was strange. Now, compared with the real owner, although he looked very similar, he was still a little less cold and energetic.

She also wondered whether Shen Yuanbai's edges had been smoothed by successive setbacks from Yong Dynasty to Nanli...

It seems that Shen Yuanbai is still cautious. He must have sent people to investigate carefully before coming, and no ambush was found.

But he was still worried, so he deliberately found a stand-in to act out the show, and also asked the killer to feint, hoping to force the person in the dark to show up.

But this time, Shen Yuanbai was really "disappointed". Only four of them came because she might use the Merit Mall today, so the fewer people who witnessed it, the better.

As for the rest of the Qiao family secret guards, they all stayed in the other courtyard and protected Meng Guxue together with Ajie.

Shen Yuanbai is not the only one who is cautious. Who knows if this time it will be his plan to invade the east and attack the west?

After all, Yin Zhu was also Shen Yuanbai's most useful right-hand man, and she did not show up at this time.

The real Shen Yuanbai has stopped beside the substitute, and the dead man is guarding him closely.

"Master Qiao, you're fine."

Shen Yuanbai spoke first, raising his lips slightly, and his tone was as familiar as an old friend meeting again.

Qiao Zhongguo had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "I didn't expect that meeting Mr. Shen again would be like this."

Shen Yuanbai chuckled lightly and said straight to the point:

"The rest of the greetings will be omitted. Mr. Qiao invited me here today. What's the purpose?"

Qiao Zhongguo did not deny it, but asked quietly: "Master Shen knows that there are tigers in the mountains, why do you come again?"

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, his eyes fell directly on Jiaojiao, and the meaning was obvious.

He just came here for Jiaojiao!

What's strange is that there doesn't seem to be any murderous intent in his eyes.

"If possible, I would like to talk to Miss Qiao alone."

"I think Miss Qiao can protect Meng Guxue unscathed invisibly. I am a mortal with a disabled right hand muscle, so I don't pose any threat to Miss Qiao, right?"

"How about the pavilion right next to it?"

Shen Yuanbai is quite magnanimous. Since the Qiao family has set up this situation today, it must be profitable for him.

In order to clear up the confusion, he didn't mind helping the Qiao family.

Qiao Tianjing raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Even he didn't expect that Shen Yuanbai was so eager.

Jiaojiao turned around and looked at Qiao Tianjing. The brother and sister had already discussed this matter in depth. At this time, Jiaojiao patted her chest to indicate that she had used the "rebound charm".

Qiao Tianjing nodded slightly with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Daddy, I'm going!"

Jiaojiao turned her head and said something. Qiao Zhongguo frowned, but still put Jiaojiao down.

The two groups slowly walked to both sides of the pavilion and stood opposite each other. At this time, Jiaojiao walked out alone with her short legs.

When Shen Yuanbai saw this, he also stepped forward.

At this point, the two parties are completely tacit.

Jiaojiao never thought that one day she would sit alone with Shen Yuanbai in the pavilion, and she looked only three years old at this time.

Shen Yuanbai naturally didn't expect that he had been fighting with everyone for so long, but it turned out that the biggest change had been daunting in front of him like a child.

At this time, Shen Yuanbai had already taken his seat, but opposite him, Jiaojiao was still struggling to get on the stool...

Qiao Tianjing saw this scene from a distance: "..."

I made a mistake, I forgot that my little sister can't even get on the stool...

Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."

Collapse, this section is all collapsed!

When she finally sat down, she panted and looked up. Shen Yuanbai had his hands on his chest and was looking at her leisurely.

Jiaojiao was slightly shocked and thought to herself: This Shen Yuanbai didn't give me a hammer from behind while I was climbing on the chair!

Is he really not planning to kill me? Then where should my three-year-old death calamity be? Or maybe everything has changed a long time ago, and this three-year-old death disaster has actually ceased to exist?

Jiaojiao's thoughts turned slightly. At this time, Shen Yuanbai, who was opposite, had already spoken calmly, "Miss Qiao, nice to meet you."

Jiaojiao opened her mouth, but before she could think of how to reply, Shen Yuanbai said calmly:

"I didn't believe in ghosts or monsters before, but Miss Qiao can help the Qiao family and the emperor to this point. Although I don't know where you come from, I don't believe that you only have a childish mind."

"How about you and I being equals and having a good talk today?"

Jiaojiao looked serious when she heard this, her childish face showed a poise and understanding that was inconsistent with her age, and she said softly:

"In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Chapter 427 The dog author's biological son

Hearing Jiaojiao's response, Shen Yuanbai raised the corner of his mouth and showed strong curiosity and interest in his eyes.

"First it's Meng Guxue, and then you. It's really interesting."

Jiaojiao met Shen Yuanbai's gaze, and her eyes fell on Shen Yuanbai's face unscrupulously.

I have to say that the dog author is really partial to this male protagonist. His appearance, intelligence, character, and connections are all top-notch. He is simply full of buffs!

When I read the novel before, I just passed it by without thinking about it. Now that I think about it, the heroine Meng Guxue is just like a tool to achieve the success of the male protagonist. She gives him money and knowledge, falls in love with him, and fills the gap for him. A void in my heart...

From this point of view, the female protagonist is not her biological daughter. It is clear that the male protagonist in front of her is the biological son of the dog author!

"You won't kill me?"

Jiaojiao tilted her head and went straight to the point. After all, there is no need to beat around the bush when talking to smart people.

Shen Yuanbai seemed to like this way of speaking. He shook his head and replied frankly:

"When the other hospital just discovered the clue that night, I did have murderous intentions. I even thought that it would be a good choice to take you to the North Country and have you firmly in my hands."

"Why did you give up?" Jiaojiao asked again.

Shen Yuanbai raised his eyebrows slightly, "Maybe it's because after thinking deeply, I found that you are not omnipotent, and my confusion is getting deeper and deeper, and I have reached the point where I will not be reconciled until I solve it."

Jiaojiao also raised her eyebrows, "You know again?"

Shen Yuanbai was stunned for a moment when he saw such a meaningful expression on a child's face, but he quickly nodded:

"Starting from going to the study to rescue Xiaosi and restraining Di Zaiying, then going to Yuhua Lake to rescue Xiaosi, and Qiao Zhongguo narrowly escaping from my arrow when escorting Meng Guxue to get married, and Qiao Diyi's poison was inexplicably released. , and Meng Guxue, who was originally unconscious in the Nanli royal family, suddenly woke up and was unscathed that night..."

"If I'm not wrong, your ability seems to be used more to save people rather than harm them. Otherwise, if you attack me directly, why would the Qiao family and I have to fight like this? What will happen to you and me today? Will you sit here?"

Jiaojiao was secretly frightened when she heard this. She didn't expect Shen Yuanbai to be so perceptive that he even thought of this.

"But it's not that I can't kill. Blind justice and kindness are stupid. If the other person is a person full of evil, even if my hands are stained with blood, am I not doing justice for heaven?"

Shen Yuanbai smiled lightly when he heard this, "But you don't plan to kill me today, do you?"

Jiaojiao immediately became serious after hearing this, "So the reason why the Fourth Princess saw the letter from your mother-in-law was really your intention?"

This question was a bit broad, but Shen Yuanbai understood it instantly.

He leaned against the pavilion pillar behind him, raised his lips and said, "Yes."

"You are really scheming."

Jiaojiao sighed slightly, Shen Yuanbai's scheming was so comprehensive and pervasive that it was simply terrifying!

"How did you guess it? Tell me." Shen Yuanbai showed interest, but he was very curious about how many guesses Qiao Jiaojiao could make.

Jiaojiao sat up straighter, put her arms on the stone table, and said in a calm voice:

"If I'm not wrong, your move actually left two escape routes."

"If Nanli succeeds, you will spare no effort to help the fourth princess to defeat the eldest prince. With Yin Zhu's help, this step will not be difficult."

"At this time, if you take advantage of the situation and hold the fourth princess in your hand, it is equivalent to grasping the help of Nanli. At that time, you will be confident whether it is the Yong Dynasty or the Northern Kingdom."

"In this case, it doesn't matter whether the fourth princess saw the letter or not."

"This is the first way, but with your personality, you won't be blindly optimistic."

"If Nanli fails, as the fourth princess is a princess and has not openly participated in the seizure of the heir apparent, it is naturally unlikely that she will be executed."

"You are sure that she is arrogant and will definitely provoke and retaliate against Meng Guxue, but how can she win in isolation? In the end, the fourth princess will only be counterattacked."

"If pressed at this time, the fourth princess has already noticed your use and has no reason to cover for you, so she will definitely expose the letter."

"Meng Guxue is now on good terms with my Qiao family. She has no reason to hide this matter, so the news will eventually reach my Qiao family."

"You deliberately lost the letter that day and returned in a hurry. You timed it so that only the fourth princess could see the first half. Wasn't this just to play hard to get and let me, the Qiao family, take the initiative to explore your ultimate goal?"

"Just such a small move has allowed you to plot people's hearts to this point."

"But I have to say that you did it, because now I am very curious, since your mother-in-law wants you to destroy the Northern Royal Family, what will you choose?"

Shen Yuanbai sat quietly opposite Qiao Jiaojiao, and the smile gradually widened as she listened to her analyzing his plan line by line.

"Is this your own guess, or did Qiao Tianjing tell you?"

"What's wrong?"

Jiaojiao frowned and looked at him.

She was scratching her head that day, and she finally came up with this guess, but there were still many loopholes in it. Now she was just talking casually, waiting for Shen Yuanbai to give a correct answer.

Shen Yuanbai tapped his fingertips on the stone table habitually, and did not answer. He just said softly:

"I'm pretty sure I guessed it. The reason why I went to such great lengths is that I hope the content of the letter can be revealed to your Qiao family's ears without leaving any trace. To me, it's just a casual show. "

"If the fourth princess doesn't succeed, I will naturally have other ways."

"I laid out this plan in the hope that it would lead you, the Qiao family, to investigate, and then look for an opportunity to kill you. Now it is considered a mistake."

Seeing that he spoke so lightly, Jiaojiao recalled Meng Guxue's narration and realized that this calculation was indeed just a piece of cake for Shen Yuanbai.

"Then what choice do you make? There is no place for you in Yong Dynasty or Nanli. You can only go to the North Kingdom."

"You'll either end up rich and powerful, or you'll end up with no bones left. I can't think of a third way for you, unless you're willing to give up everything."

Jiaojiao's eyes were burning, which also affected what strategy her father and the emperor's brother would adopt towards the Northern Kingdom in the future, and when would the opportunity for the Northern Expedition appear.

At this time, Shen Yuanbai sat upright. He tilted his head and said, "Miss Qiao has always been asking me, can you allow me to ask a question now? It's fair that you and I have come and gone."

Jiaojiao was slightly startled, remembering Shen Yuanbai's urgent intention just now, and she felt slightly prepared.

Shen Yuanbai is so smart that the only things that can make him puzzled are those mysterious things that are beyond cognition. Of course, she can only answer according to her discretion.

So Jiaojiao nodded, "You say it."

Shen Yuanbai's expression gradually became serious after hearing this, and he asked in a deep voice: "Miss Qiao, why did you choose to invite me to meet today?"

"If I remember correctly, today is your birthday, right? You were born three years ago today, and as far as I know, Meng Guxue also started to behave strangely on the same day. Is there any connection between them? ?"

Jiaojiao: "..."

You are making things difficult for me...

Chapter 428 It's all doomed

The reason why Jiaojiao chose today was precisely because she and Shen Yuanbai had the same confusion.

But what Shen Yuanbai didn't know was that there was another thing on September 15th three years ago, and that was that Baili Chengyou also had a precognitive dream.

This day was so special, and it was also the point where her death could happen at any time when she was three years old. She just had to be tough and lure Shen Yuanbai out today.

Anyway, if you stretch out your head and cut your head, you can cut your head back. Instead of worrying all day long, just face the danger head-on!

Seeing Jiaojiao's expression of confusion, Shen Yuanbai turned his head and asked, "What? Is it difficult to answer?"

Jiaojiao shook her head and said frankly: "Don't talk to you about this matter. Even I am confused. You just think it's my birthday and I want to die. So I lure you out."

Shen Yuanbai: "..."

He suspected that Qiao Jiaojiao was fooling him.

"Then let me change the question. Why do you want to stop Meng Guxue from being with me? This question is not difficult, right?"

The three thunders at Papi Ridge made him realize very clearly that he and Meng Guxue were supposed to be a couple, but at that time he was facing Meng Guxue with swords.

Thinking about it carefully during this period, the reason why he and Meng Guxue ended up in this situation was because Qiao Jiaojiao's shadow was everywhere.

"The first time I had a premonition that I was going to meet my destined person was at your full moon banquet. But that time I waited until late at night after the party, but I never saw Meng Guxue."

"The second time was on the day of the Lantern Festival. My premonition came to nothing again. When the dead soldiers of the Northern Kingdom acted rashly under the orders of Uncle Zhou, you and Qiao Tianjing were both present."

"The third time I was supposed to meet Meng Guxue was at the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Festival, but you peed on me. I left the meeting angrily and missed the encounter. After I returned, I heard that there was a Miss Meng's poetic talent is amazing."

"After the first three encounters were ruined, I never had such a premonition in my heart. Until that time at Papi Ridge, the inexplicable fate between me and her was completely severed."

"Can you deny that it was not your fault that Meng Guxue and I missed each other again and again?"

Jiaojiao: This person is really good at settling old scores, and he also has a really good memory...

"it's me."

Jiaojiao had her own considerations, so she admitted it openly.

Shen Yuanbai sat up straight when he heard this. From this moment on, the conversation between him and Qiao Jiaojiao became truly interesting.

"Why? At that time, except for secretly cultivating power, I never even made a move against the imperial brother. I have been dormant here and thought that I had never exposed any flaws. How could you target me so accurately?"

Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, "Do you really don't know why? Don't you already have a guess in your mind? Isn't that why you came here?"

Shen Yuanbai's expression suddenly changed. His right hand placed on the stone table slowly tightened, and the veins on the back of his hand became clear.

He stared at the calm and indifferent Jiaojiao, then suddenly leaned his upper body forward slightly, approached Jiaojiao, and said coldly: "Can you really see the future?"

"So when it comes to matters such as the spring palace fraud, the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and the military power in the southern border, you are able to take advantage of everything and cut off my path time and time again, and I have suffered a series of defeats at the hands of your Qiao family?"

"But Miss Qiao, why did God choose to side with you and give you prophets and miraculous powers, while I, Shen Yuanbai, am destined to be the loser?"

Speaking of this, Jiaojiao also looked solemn. She did not avoid Shen Yuanbai's gaze, but said coldly:

"Shen Yuanbai, have you ever heard of the saying that a good man will get many help but a bad man will get little help?"

"There is no right or wrong between you and me, only different positions, but you have repeatedly exceeded the bottom line and abandoned your humanity!"

"There are a lot of bones at your feet. If these dead people are your followers, they will be happy to do so. I, Qiao Jiaojiao, have nothing to say."

"But what about those innocent people? The children from the Tzu Chi Bureau, the dead soldiers behind the Huguo Temple, what about those people you used for your purpose? Do you dare to say that you know nothing about the Huguo Temple?"

"Have you ever seen their miserable condition? Those children were imprisoned in cramped cellars, never to see the light of day. Those young dead soldiers were so numb that they didn't know what life and death were!"

"Shen Yuanbai, I, Qiao Jiaojiao, am not a pedantic and pure person. I have not even complained for my Qiao family today. I know that there are casualties in fighting for power, whether it is for faith or loyalty, but innocent people can be involved, especially He is an ignorant child and has no conscience!"

"You asked God why he didn't help you. I think the reason may be here."

Jiaojiao's originally passionate voice gradually fell back, and she covered up the sourness she felt when she mentioned Huguo Temple. When she finished speaking, her face was already calm.

Shen Yuanbai looked slightly startled and mentioned the dead soldiers of Huguo Temple. It was on his way back to Beijing that Uncle Zhou came to meet him and told him the truth.

How was he feeling at that time? Shocked and stunned, but when he thought about what had happened, he felt only silence in his heart.

He was already numb. His mother and concubine had made him the beneficiary of all this. He had already enjoyed the benefits brought by these blood and tears. It would be too hypocritical to talk about pity and regret now, and it was not his Shen Yuanbai's temperament.

He was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice lost its coldness and was full of self-mockery.

"Oh, my whole life I have been like a puppet on strings, falling within the frame step by step. Countless people are pushing me forward. What do I have left? I am just a puppet that still has a use."

"Every step I take is destined."

Shen Yuanbai stared into Jiaojiao's eyes. When he said these words, there was a hint of depression on his face, but hidden deeper, there seemed to be a touch of inquiry.

Jiaojiao chuckled softly after hearing this confession.

"Shen Yuanbai, why do you say you are so helpless? No path is ever destined."

"How many people in this world are born by themselves? Yu Liu and the people she left behind are indeed pushing you step by step, but this choice is always in your own hands, isn't it?"

"You dare to say that you have no ambition, you have no desire, and you don't want to stand on the top of power?"

"Meng Guxue is destined to fall in love with you, but hasn't she also escaped from this fate and walked her own way?"

"Every transformation and turning point has a price to pay. There is a possibility of abandonment and pain, and even the removal of bones and flesh. It is obviously your own obsession. Don't think that my three views will follow the five senses."

Jiaojiao's eyebrows were cold and her voice was particularly sharp.

Regarding Shen Yuanbai's experience, she might lament that his fate was not controlled by others, but he could not control himself, but every choice he made after that was made by him, and there was no way to argue with it!

"Okay, you've laid so much groundwork, and you're still pretending to be weak and decadent. What exactly do you want to ask me?"

"I don't think a smart and conceited person like you would indulge in such hesitation and guilt."

When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he gradually put away the depressed look on his face.

He looked at Qiao Jiaojiao again, this time carefully and carefully, as if he was looking at another soul through this childish face.

Chapter 429 Qiao Jiaojiao, tell me the truth

"I underestimated you. After all, you are actually an extremely smart person."

Shen Yuanbai said lightly. At this moment, he looked calm. How could he still look half-fragile just now?

Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, "I just thought you were complimenting me."

In fact, she felt a little unsure, but when facing a powerful enemy, she couldn't lose face, otherwise once Shen Yuan Bai missed the opportunity, he might really counterattack!

"What did you say just now? To be fair, what comes and goes, now is it my turn to ask?"

Shen Yuanbai did not deny it and nodded directly.

"please--"

Jiaojiao said bluntly: "It's still the same question as before, what are you going to do when you arrive in the North Country? Will you abide by your mother's last wish?"

Shen Yuanbai looked at Jiaojiao with bright eyes in front of him, nodded directly, and said lightly:

"Yes. Not only that, I don't mind killing the entire Jin family."

Jiaojiao was slightly shocked when she heard this. The letter said that Yu Liu hated the Northern Royal Family. I was afraid that the second half of the letter was the unbearable truth, otherwise Shen Yuanbai would not have dealt with it so cruelly.

This must be the first time Jiaojiao showed a shocked look after the two of them sat down. Shen Yuanbai raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he saw this:

"Is this answer what you want? I will definitely try my best to proclaim myself emperor by then. If you, the Qiao family, have the ability, you can go across thousands of rivers and mountains to get my head!"

"Of course, my uncle is not an easy man. If I fail and my body is missing, I will be reduced to mud and ground into dust. You must spare no effort to swallow up the entire Northern Kingdom."

Shen Yuanbai said these words with amusement in his eyes, as if he no longer cared much about his own life or death.

Jiaojiao finally got the accurate answer. She knew that Shen Yuanbai didn't bother to lie at this time. He really wanted to destroy the Northern Royal Family, and he would use all his strength!

Regardless, their goal was achieved.

Jiaojiao couldn't explain what it felt like at this moment. She only knew that if the Northern Kingdom's royal family really began to collapse from within, both the Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom would be able to save many lives on the battlefield...

"Okay, it's my turn, last question."

Shen Yuanbai spoke in a deep voice, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Jiaojiao also straightened her back. She knew that the next words should be the real purpose of Shen Yuanbai's trip to see her.

She was actually looking forward to it, wondering what kind of flowers Shen Yuanbai could ask for.

"please--"

Shen Yuanbai gave up all previous temptations, looked solemn, and said in a cold voice:

"Just now, Miss Qiao assumed that she can foresee the future. Your Qiao family is indeed invincible, but there is one thing I am curious about."

"The Spring Palace fraud, the military power in the south, etc. that I mentioned before, your Qiao family are really ahead of me, leaving me powerless and making me feel like I am being seen through every step."

"But why did we fight so hard when we went to Nanli to see the bride and even took a blood test to get the bride?"

"If Miss Qiao had foreseen these two things, she could have disrupted my plan from the beginning as before, and even prevented me from leaving the palace during the blood test."

"But in these two matters, you, the Qiao family, are more like using your brains and your extraordinary abilities to compete with me."

When Jiaojiao heard this, her expression changed slightly. She seemed to know what Shen Yuanbai wanted to ask.

"So can I assume that these two things are not in the future you foresee?"

"Or is it that your ability to foresee the future is not available all the time, but is more like knowing a context from the beginning, and this context carries the entire life of all of us?"

"And as we go back and forth between us, the situation begins to deviate from that so-called context, so you can only deal with me with real swords and guns?"

"In this way, I am very confused, where did that context come from, why does it frame the future of all of us, who created that context, and how did you learn about it?"

Shen Yuanbai came closer slightly, his eyes fixed on Jiaojiao. This was the biggest doubt in his heart during this time!

How could someone arrange his life and then reveal it all to Qiao Jiaojiao and perhaps Meng Guxue without permission.

That day in Papi Ridge, Meng Guxue came to say goodbye to him on the couch. At that time, he tentatively asked if Meng Guxue knew everyone's future and whether he knew the ending that Zhufeng should have.

Meng Guxue did not deny it at that time, and he had a vague answer in his mind.

His mother-in-law controlled his life and arranged every step for him, but as Qiao Jiaojiao said just now, if he could let go of all his unwillingness and desires, he would have the ability to fly far away.

He just couldn't find the meaning of living, so he simply allowed his mother and concubine's arrangements to push him towards the abyss, and he would never recover.

But that context and that established future did not give him a choice. Because of its interference, the Qiao family took the opportunity to force him to this point!

Shen Yuanbai didn't understand what kind of power this was, was it God's will?

When Jiaojiao heard this, her face turned pale and she was filled with horror!

She didn't expect that Shen Yuanbai could think so deeply that he almost touched the final truth!

Isn't the "context" he refers to the original work? The original work framed his life, and she read the original work and then came to the book, which slowly changed everything.

what is this? Paper man awakens?

The strangeness that Jiaojiao couldn't hide made Shen Yuanbai realize that she knew the answer!

Shen Yuanbai felt an uncontrollable urgency in his heart. He stood up slightly and said in a deep voice: "Qiao Jiaojiao, tell me the answer."

He doesn't want to live in a muddle, he wants to know who is controlling all this!

At this time, Jiaojiao suddenly turned her head and glanced at Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing in the distance, as if she was afraid that they would hear the conversation.

She showed so many abilities but never revealed them in front of her father and brother, who were just "words".

This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to a sober person, and may even make them doubt their own existence.

When Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing saw Jiaojiao looking over, they immediately nodded to her in relief. They were telling Jiaojiao through their actions that they were always there.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao felt a little relieved. She looked back at Shen Yuanbai and was about to speak, but Shen Yuanbai had already said coldly:

"Don't deny it. Your instinctive reaction just now has revealed your thoughts. You are afraid that Qiao Zhongguo and the others will know, so this answer is unbearable, right?"

Jiaojiao suddenly felt her mouth go dry. Just when she was silent, Shen Yuanbai's eyes turned red and he said quickly:

"Ms. Qiao, I am unreasonably paranoid. If some questions are not answered, I will not give up no matter what."

"You don't want me, Shen Yuanbai, to give up everything and keep staring at your Qiao family, right? Just tell me the truth. Whether I can bear it or not is up to me."

Shen Yuanbai stared at Jiaojiao with an extremely serious expression, as if the threat in his words could come true at any time.

Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing angrily when she heard this, "Shen Yuanbai, I admit that you are very smart, but you should not overestimate yourself. Some answers - even you can't bear it!"

However, Shen Yuanbai's expression was determined and never changed.

Jiaojiao slowly clenched her hands, all kinds of thoughts surging in her heart, and finally nodded slowly in Shen Yuanbai's paranoid eyes.

"Okay, if you insist on knowing, I will help you."

"Listen carefully, this world is actually just a book——"

Boom——

As Jiaojiao finished speaking, suddenly a thunder sounded in the distant sky without any warning, almost breaking everyone's ears!

The next moment, under the blue sky and white sun, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky and headed straight for the pavilion!

Chapter 430: This world is actually just a book?

The thunder came quickly and quickly, and everyone only heard a deafening thunder. Before they even reacted, the thunder light had already reached the pavilion!

[Dui, King Kong is indestructible! 】

Jiaojiao tightened her body suddenly, and a golden light flashed from her body, and soon disappeared.

The next moment, lightning passed over the eaves of the pavilion and struck Jiaojiao directly. The dazzling purple light instantly engulfed her little body!

Seeing this, even though they knew Jiaojiao was protected by Merit Mall, Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing still looked horrified and ran towards the pavilion desperately.

"Jiaojiao!"

At this moment, Shen Yuanbai, who was standing opposite Jiaojiao, was also completely shocked.

The thunder in the day came so suddenly, but struck Qiao Jiaojiao with incomparable precision. However, he and Qiao Jiaojiao were only one table apart at this time, and the thunder did not even reach him that day.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier between him and Qiao Jiaojiao!

"As expected..."

Suddenly, a delicate and meaningful voice came from the flashing thunder and lightning, as if she had a clear understanding.

The next moment, the lightning wrapped around her body shot out in all directions without warning, like an exploding purple firework!

The "rebound talisman" and the "indestructible talisman" work at the same time!

The delicate figure finally emerged from the thunder. At this time, she was sitting on the stone bench, still pink and jade, unscathed!

[Old King of Hell, I will have to kowtow to you three times when I go down! You are still awesome, even Tianlei can't beat your golden finger! 】

Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing had already rushed outside the pavilion. The moment they saw Jiaojiao safe and sound, both father and son murmured uncontrollably. The scene just now almost made their legs and feet weak from fear.

They even couldn't help but wonder, could it be that it was because of Jiaojiao's (younger sister)'s special abilities and abilities that her disaster at the age of three was due to God's will?

"Dad, brother, get out of the way, thunder is coming!"

Jiaojiao looked at Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing and shouted quickly!

After all, Qiao Zhongguo had fought hard on the battlefield and became calmer in the face of life and death. Hearing this, he immediately grabbed Qiao Tianjing's arm, and the father and son backed away.

The pavilion was filled with lightning, and under the effect of the "rebound talisman", it quickly reached Shen Yuanbai. At this time, he had so many thoughts in his mind that he didn't even think about avoiding it, but just instinctively took a step back.

At this time, a thin thunder struck the back of Shen Yuanbai's hand extremely quickly, instantly leaving a black scar on it.

Shen Yuanbai frowned in pain, but the shock in his heart at this moment was far more painful than the trauma!

Jiaojiao's eyes gradually brightened when she saw Shen Yuanbai was injured by the thunder.

This - was her ultimate purpose in luring Shen Yuanbai out today!

During this time, she had been with Meng Guxue, and the two of them talked about almost everything.

Just a few days ago, Meng Guxue suddenly talked about the three fatal thunders in Papi Ridge!

Her father had never mentioned this matter to her, because as outsiders, although the three thunders sounded suddenly, there was nothing special in their eyes.

After listening to Meng Guxue's description, she realized clearly for the first time that there might really be a way of heaven in the world in the book, and there might be so-called rules that could control everything!

Meng Guxue and Shen Yuanbai have been separated for three times. Logically speaking, the original work is a sweet pet novel, and Meng Guxue is the worthy heroine. God and luck should be more inclined to her.

But looking at Meng Guxue's experiences along the way, she has no golden fingers, and her halo as a heroine is even pitiful. She can only force herself to grow up step by step in order to gain a foothold in this world.

On the other hand, she admits that Shen Yuanbai is really smart, but some things are really coincidental and weird, which makes people have to think deeply.

It's still about Papi Ridge.

The last time the second brother ambushed Shen Yuanbai in Papi Ridge, he had already broken Shen Yuanbai's hand tendons, but Yin Zhu arrived at this time.

Later, the man Erbaili Chengyou came forward to pursue him again. According to what he said, the arrow he shot hit Shen Yuanbai directly in the back of the heart.

But even so, Shen Yuanbai was led by Yin Zhu all the way back to Nanli Capital, but he still survived strongly.

That's why she lamented just now that the heroine is just a tool, and the real protagonist's halo has always been on Shen Yuanbai!

Does this mean that Shen Yuanbai has always been protected by heaven, and even...cannot die?

Jiaojiao thought a lot during this period, and even felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

She originally thought that Shen Yuanbai was determined to kill her today, so she used the "Rebound Talisman" to try to fight, but it turned out that Shen Yuanbai was focused on solving the puzzle and had no intention of killing her.

Moreover, he is already smart enough to see the weirdness of this world!

When Shen Yuanbai asked her for answers just now, many thoughts flashed through her mind.

In fact, she was also afraid in her heart. She was afraid that she had already tried her best to achieve this step and changed everyone's fate, but in the end she would be "set right" by the heaven that protected Shen Yuanbai.

This time the thunder fell, the existence of the so-called "Tiandao" has been confirmed. Now that the female protagonist has collapsed, the male protagonist is the "biological son" of Tiandao. Therefore, the crux of the matter to break this situation lies in Shen Yuanbai!

Shen Yuanbai has sobered up now. He has his own arrogance. Even if the original author created him, he cannot easily dominate and control him.

That's why there is that sentence: the more awake you are, the more you struggle, the more painful you are.

What Jiaojiao wants to do is to completely break all these rules and make this world a real world of its own!

By then, everyone will have flesh and blood and truly control their own lives, instead of being classified as short-lived "cannon fodder" and "passer-by" from the beginning in a thin and mindless novel. Leave early!

Sometimes Jiaojiao couldn't help but think that this might be the reason why the old King of Hell tricked her into reincarnation and gave her a golden finger.

When more and more people in this world change the trajectory of their destiny and emerge with more and more independent will, the "Way of Heaven" will eventually lose its deterrent power and bow to all free souls!

And now the one who can give "Tiandao" a heavy blow is none other than the heavyweight male protagonist Shen Yuanbai!

Thinking of this, Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Shen Yuanbai opposite. At this time, he was leaning against the pavilion pillar, looking at the wound on the back of his hand in trance.

For some reason, he felt extremely ridiculous in his heart, as if this wound was a warning from God, and God was punishing him for breaking the casserole and asking the truth.

And it came so fast, as if it was just to prevent Qiao Jiaojiao from saying the rest of her words.

So, what Qiao Jiaojiao said is true, and this will lead to divine punishment?

Her unfinished words were: "This world is actually just a book——"

A book of what?

a book?

Is this world actually just a book?

At this point in his thoughts, Shen Yuanbai was suddenly startled and suddenly raised his head to look at Qiao Jiaojiao opposite.
