"I grew up with my master in Bahrain since I was a child. I know some spells, but I am not alone.
It’s safer and less likely to arouse the suspicion of the royal family.”
"It's the prince."
The corners of Hua Lanzhou's mouth tightened slightly.
"I heard from Qin Yin that that woman can temporarily suppress the spell in the prince's body?"
"Um."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded, thinking of Luo Jiuli, his eyes revealed a rare tenderness.
"I am also about to ask you, have you ever heard of it in Bahrain?
Can the spell be suppressed by touching it?"
Hua Lanzhou shook his head:
"Never heard of it."
Xiao Mingxuan was silent, which meant that no one knew why Luo Jiuli was able to suppress the spell in his body.
Even the letters sent to Falling Star Valley have not entered the capital to this day.
Seeing that the prince did not speak, Hua Lanzhou said again:
"Although that woman can temporarily suppress the spell in the prince's body, the mysterious insect blood-stained jade prince must not forget to ask people to find her."
"Although it can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, it can alleviate the pain caused by the spell."
"It's a pity that Mysterious Insect Blood-stained Jade is extremely rare in this world. Even though the prince is in the royal family, there are many things that cannot be bought with money."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded, knowing that what Hua Lanzhou said was true.
"Shen Yang and Mo Han have already gone to look for it."
Before he met Luo Jiuli, he did rely on the Mysterious Insect Blood-stained Jade for a period of time to relieve the onset of the spell.
Although it only temporarily relieved the pain caused by the spell, he still had to get through it most of the time.
But it's better to have it than not.
"When will you leave Beijing?"
"tonight."
Hua Lanzhou fiddled with his sleeves.
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"Have the love poison and charm spells in King Zhao's body been completely eliminated?"
"Yes, he can break the charm by himself, but his will is weak and he doesn't dare to face reality."
Obviously, Hua Lanzhou didn't like King Zhao. He came to Beijing to remove the poison for King Zhao just for Xiao Mingxuan's sake.
He and Xiao Mingxuan were not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but Xiao Mingxuan had a life-saving grace for him.
And he is also a master who must repay kindness and revenge.
Revenge must be retaliated! This is what every normal person thinks, just like what the Duke and his wife are doing at this moment.
Originally, the whole family in the Duke's mansion had a reunion dinner together, but only halfway through the meal, they saw Aunt Xu and the housekeeper walking in.
"Sir, madam, there are guests outside the door."
The housekeeper knew that the master, madam, young master and young ladies were happy today, but he did not dare to hide the presence of people from outside the house.
After all, the Duke's government couldn't afford to offend this person.
"What guest?"
The Duke of Guo glanced at the housekeeper and asked.
"Back to the master, it's Zhao--"
Before the steward said the word "王" out of his mouth, Grandma Xu stepped on his foot and quickly shut up.
Luo Jiuli frowned.
King Zhao, the only one who can make the housekeeper and Aunt Xu so nervous is probably King Zhao Xiao Zhumo.
Even Luo Daohan stared blankly and put down his chopsticks with a snap.
Brothers Luo Yuanliang and Luo Yuanjia also had ugly expressions on their faces.
"Why is that beast here? Why did he come to the Duke's Mansion? Doesn't he think the trouble is not big enough?"
On the side, Luo Jiuqing was thoughtful and looked up at his father and elder brother.
"My father and eldest brother have just returned to Beijing. He deliberately took advantage of this time to come. What's his plan?"
Luo Yuanliang smiled coldly and stood up.
"I'm going to meet him. I want to see if he has the dignity to come to our government to cause trouble."
With that said, he was about to leave the table.
"stop."
The Duke and his wife stopped Luo Yuanliang at the same time.
The Duke's wife stood up and pulled her son back to the table.
"You and your father are serving as officials in the same court as him, and Yuan Jia is about to attend the Spring Festival next year. It is only appropriate for me, a woman, to do something like this."
"Today, none of you should come forward. Even if I slap him a few times, the emperor will not be able to blame me."
As he said that, he looked at Aunt Xu.
"Aunt Xu, go and prepare a basin of tea water with salt. Today, let's go and get rid of bad luck."
"Yes, ma'am."
Nanny Xu had long known that King Zhao dared to attack his wife in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Today, she must avenge this revenge for Madam.
"Mother, I will go with you."
Luo Jiuli, who had been silent for the whole time, walked over.
"Jiu'er, you--"
"Mother, this matter happened because of me. If I don't come forward today, I can't explain it."
"Besides, I also want my father, eldest brother, second brother, and eldest sister to see my determination to leave King Zhao."
The Duke's wife did not speak, but patted her daughter's hand distressedly.
"I am coming too."
Luo Yuanliang stood up.
"I won't say anything, so I'll go and encourage my little sister."
"Yes, I will go too, to give my little sister some courage. It doesn't matter if he is a prince, a prince cannot be lawless."
Naturally, Luo Yuanjia would not miss this opportunity.
Luo Daohan stood up slowly and said calmly:
"Together."
With that said, he stood up and left the flower hall first.
Behind him, a large family rushed straight to the front door of the house.
Outside the gate of the mansion, King Zhao Xiao Zhumo was standing in the wind in a plain white dress. His thin body, slightly pale face, and such a sick appearance made people unbearable.
But the Duke's wife was not an ordinary person. The moment she saw King Zhao, she remembered the scars all over her daughter's body in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the vicious look in King Zhao's eyes when he hurt her, and she immediately became furious.
"My lord, madam."
Xiao Zhumo had made enough preparations and given enough face.
After all, his current status is different from what it used to be. Just now, his father ordered him to come to the Duke's Mansion in person to apologize to Duke Guo and Luo Jiuli.
He had to come, he had to come.
"It's because I don't know people well, and I was provoked by Xi Zuo, and I was poisoned and charmed, which made Li'er suffer. I came here today just to apologize to Li'er in person-"
Luo Jiuli stood behind the Duke, walked out slowly, and sneered.
"The majestic prince actually did not avoid the suspicion between men and women and wanted to personally apologize to a girl in his boudoir. What is the purpose of such an act that is both disrespectful and disrespectful?"
Xiao Zhumo heard the sound and looked up.
Then he saw the woman in front of him, her clothes were like snow, her hair was as black as ink, especially her ethereal eyes, lips like cherry petals, and beautiful appearance, with an indescribable purity and refinement.
He had seen this face countless times, but when he looked at it today, it was obviously still the same face, but the eyes and the expression made him feel strange and alienated.
"Li'er."
He felt that his voice and expression were vivid enough.
Unexpectedly, before I finished speaking, I heard a crash.
Xiao Zhumo, who was dressed in white, was drenched from head to toe. Even his shoulders and hair were stained by tea leaves.
"How dare you, as a minister, treat His Highness King Zhao like this."
