Xiao Mingxuan lowered his head and rubbed the jade ring on his finger, hiding the curve of the corner of his mouth very well.
The Queen Mother casually raised her eyelids and glanced at Luo Jiuli, with a contemptuous smile on her lips.
The second daughter of the dignified Duke Yiguo's palace talks about money, which is really a disgrace.
The most surprised ones were Concubine Hu and Prince An.
However, these three people reacted very quickly.
"Don't worry, the consultation fee will be a penny."
"That's good."
Luo Jiuli nodded, not caring at all about the strange looks from those people.
After leaving the palace gate, he was in the carriage returning home.
Xiao Mingxuan held her waist, the tip of his nose touched her ear bone intentionally or unintentionally, and his voice was very low.
"When I return home, I will change my clothes and go with you."
Luo Jiuli held his head and smiled.
"My lord, tell me the truth. Why didn't the emperor say a word about what happened yesterday? There is also the Queen Mother and Concubine Hu. It is impossible for them not to know that I was kidnapped. Why are everyone silent on this matter?"
Xiao Mingxuan pursed his sexy thin lips and did not immediately answer her words. Instead, he stretched out his slender fingers and took out something from his arms.
"Here! I asked the emperor for this."
"What?"
Luo Jiuli turned around and looked, his eyes suddenly widened.
In Xiao Mingxuan's hand was a gold medal the size of an adult's palm, with the four characters "death-free gold medal" engraved on the golden front.
"This, is this a death-free gold medal?"
The shock was greater than the surprise.
As soon as Luo Jiuli saw the death-free gold medal, he had already forgotten what he wanted to ask.
"Yeah, a gold medal to avoid death."
Xiao Mingxuan let her take it into his hand.
"Look at the back."
"back?"
Luo Jiuli looked down without knowing why.
"The so-called avoidance of death means the elimination of rebellion and great rebellion."
These are the nine words engraved on the back.
Xiao Mingxuan nodded.
"As long as it is not a crime of treason or treason, the death-free medal can protect your life three times."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"I understand, after all, life or death still depends on the emperor."
This thing was originally issued by the Emperor, and the final right of interpretation belongs to the Emperor.
Xiao Mingxuan rubbed her hair.
"Although you are young, the fact that you can see this clearly shows that you are different from others."
"Your Majesty."
Luo Jiuli had recovered from the initial shock and reached out to grab his hand.
"Did Your Majesty agree to the Emperor's request? Why did you do everything possible to get me a death-free gold medal?"
"This thing is not mass-produced. The emperor will never give it to the prince so easily? Please tell me quickly, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"Don't worry, I never wanted to hide it from you."
Xiao Mingxuan held her little hand in his and continued.
"Yesterday, the emperor received a message from the border. The Sangnan Kingdom has greatly increased its troops on the border. The emperor has talked to me. If there is a war, he hopes that I will lead the troops to go out."
"But if I go on an expedition and am not by your side, the demons and monsters in this capital may start to run rampant again. For your safety, I asked the emperor for this gold medal to avoid death."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he instantly felt that the gold medal in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"You have already handed in the military talisman. There are so many princes and generals in the capital, why do you have to go to the border?"
The corner of Xiao Mingxuan's mouth froze and he sighed, his harmless and handsome face showing seriousness.
"Li'er, are you so nervous about me?"
"Don't worry, this is just the worst plan. In two days, the emperor will send an advance envoy to the border for peace talks. If the peace talks are successful, war may be avoided."
In fact, he did get the death-free gold medal by leading troops on expeditions.
But, in the end, did the emperor succeed, or did he betray himself?
Only their brothers knew it well.
Luo Jiuli glanced at him and calmed down honestly.
"Then will my father and eldest brother also go?"
In her previous life, she was born in a peaceful era, but she knew that peaceful eras were not completely peaceful.
How many soldiers still have to sacrifice their blood and lives to defend the borderland.
It is precisely because of the peace they bought with their lives and blood that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
"Unknown at the moment."
Seeing her depressed mood, Xiao Mingxuan held her in his arms and regretted telling the truth to her.
"Winter will begin in another month. There is an ancient saying that no troops will be raised during the six months of winter. Sangnan will not be so stupid as to march and fight in the cold winter."
Maybe white lies don't count as deception.
"Really? If this is the case, we still have a lot of room to prepare."
Luo Jiuli's mind suddenly became alive again.
"what to prepare?"
Xiao Mingxuan was puzzled.
Luo Jiuli counted on his fingers.
"A lot, such as preparing wound medicine, preparing concealed weapons, preparing tools for traveling lightly, there are many, many."
The most important thing is to find a way to break the spell on him.
There is a saying, "A soldier without a guide will not reach the realm of thieves; a medicine without a guide will not lead to the disease."
She had carefully observed his every spell attack, and also secretly examined him with the instruments in the ancient ring space, but she could not find the cause.
Since the instrument cannot find the cause, does it mean that the direction is wrong?
If we follow the word "Yao Yin" that Chinese medicine says to induce medicine to return to the meridians, will it have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort?
"Yuyin" is like a guide, which guides various medicines to certain meridians, organs and parts of the body for targeted treatment.
In other words, the special function of "drug guide" is to guide the medicine directly to the hospital.
And Xiao Mingxuan's spell will only become ineffective when it comes into contact with her. Does this mean that she is Xiao Mingxuan's 'Yin Yin.'
To be precise, does her blood have a suppressive effect on Xiao Mingxuan's spell?
If you want to clear up the doubts, you can only wait until the evening of the 15th to find out.
"what's on your mind?"
Xiao Mingxuan saw that she was silent and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Nothing? I was wondering, what is the emperor's intention in giving this death-free gold medal?"
"Just because you want to lead troops on an expedition?"
Luo Jiuli did not dare to tell the truth.
"Also, I was poisoned last night and stayed at the Nine Princes' Mansion. With the emperor's eyes and ears, I should have known about it, otherwise why didn't the emperor say a word about this matter today?"
"When I just left the palace, I always felt that the way the emperor looked at me was a little different from the way he looks at me on weekdays."
Luo Jiuli was talking to himself, not seeing the cunning look in Xiao Mingxuan's eyes and the soft smile on his lips.
Back at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Nan Zhu rushed over with the medicine box.
"Have you made it clear to my mother?"
Nan Zhu nodded.
"Madam said that as long as the master is fine, Madam will be relieved."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
Although Nan Xing and Nan Zhu just followed her today, after several hours of contact and their words and deeds, Luo Jiuli could roughly see the different personalities of the two sisters.
Nan Xing is relatively taciturn, a person who is easy to ignore but cruel.
