V2.Chapter 211

Yan Jiuchao remembered the face he saw when he took off the other's mask in the carriage. The first thing he saw was the scar that slanted halfway across his left face. , It is definitely not because of lack of medicine. After all, he is the concubine, and the best medicine in the whole Nanzhao can be handed over to him. It can only be because the injury was too deep, and even the medicine stone has no cure.

At that moment, Yan Jiuchao forgot to think about who he was.

As early as in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yan Jiuchao heard Bai Xiaosheng mention that Nanzhao's concubine wears a mask all year round. The rumor is that his appearance is detrimental. He naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Of course, he finally saw the other party's face clearly.

Even with that hideous and ugly scar, he looks like...

Yan Jiuchao stopped thinking, raised his hand, covered half of his face, and asked Yu Wan, "If I were like this, would you still recognize me?"

Yu Wan nodded in surprise: "I can recognize you even if you cover it up! Why do you ask that?"

"I think so too." Yan Jiuchao said.

"Huh?" Yu Wan was even more confused.

She found that since she asked herself if Nanzhao's concubine was Queen Yan, her husband's words became strange and unpredictable. Thinking about it, it was not surprising. If the concubine is King Yan, he is still alive, which is a good thing, but It was unacceptable for him to abandon his wife; if the concubine was not King Yan, then King Yan did not betray their mother and son. Even though this was the belief in Yan Jiuchao's heart, it also cut off the last ray of hope.

In his heart... it must be very contradictory, after all, that is the father and king he has always respected.

In fact, Yan Jiuchao didn't think as much as Yu Wan thought. He was already grown up, and he wasn't the child who chased after his father and queen all day long. What he was asking for was nothing more than the truth.

He said: "Although that face has changed a lot, it has scars and traces of time, but I will not admit it wrong."

Yu Wan looked at him shyly, what this means is—

Yan Jiuchao sighed, "It's my father's face."

For some reason, hearing such an answer, Yu Wanyuan was not as shocked as she had imagined. Perhaps in her heart, she was already inclined to be the Prince of Yan. She said in her usual tone, "Then why didn't you speak? Didn't he see you?"

Yan Jiuchao looked at the dark clouds floating in the sky and said, "He saw me, but he didn't seem to recognize me, or maybe he didn't recognize me."

Yan Jiuchao was only eight years old when King Yan left. Fifteen or six years later, Yan Jiuchao looks very different from when he was a child. Everyone said that Yan Jiuchao looked exactly the same as King Yan when he was young. Did King Yan have no idea when he saw a person so similar to himself? Didn't you guess it was your son who appeared?

Or is it that King Yan forgot about their mother and son, and started a new life with Xiaodi Ji?

Also, why is his face destroyed?

Yu Wan couldn't figure it out, but she didn't have to figure it out. They were all in the imperial capital, and the truth would be revealed one day.

She held Yan Jiuchao's hand: "It's getting late, go home."

Yan Jiuchao did not speak.

But when Yu Wan pulled him back, he didn't resist.

The two went to Qixia Garden first.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard with his head on his hips, Old Cui caught a glimpse of two figures walking not far away, and hurriedly nibbled at the big pig's hoof and said, "I said nothing will happen! This is not coming back!"

At the same time as Old Cui Tou was relieved, he rolled his eyes and went back to the house nibbling on the pig's hoof.

The old man and Jiang Hai saw that the two of them came back intact, without saying a word, they turned around and went back to the house.

"Uncle." Yu Wan smiled and greeted Helian Beiming who didn't have time to disappear.

"I'm here to see a few children, they're not here, I'm leaving." Helian Beiming said blankly, pushing his wheelchair out of the yard.

Yu Wan didn't say anything, she smiled and shook Yan Jiuchao's hand: "Everyone is worried about you."

Yan Jiuchao said coldly: "Who wants them to worry?"

Yu Wan looked at the tips of his slightly flushed ears, and curved the corners of her lips.

During dinner, Awei and Qingyan returned to the house, and they had all the jade cards they needed. In order to avoid revealing the contents, Qingyan led Awei to several different Gu Master guilds. The need to press the handprint is not difficult for Qingyan. As early as before departure, he printed the handprints of several people with dough. When pressing the handprint, only Awei's hands and feet can be hidden.

Awei naturally lived up to expectations.

After dinner, Yan Jiuchao went to the medicinal bath, while Yu Wan went to grandma's house to discuss with grandma about entering Gu Mountain.

Yu Wan said, "Where exactly is Snow Toad in Gu Mountain?"

The old man said: "I don't know, I have to find it."

Yu Wan paused: "Is it really in Gu Mountain?"

The old man said: "Yes, someone has seen it in Gu Mountain, but no one has been able to get it so far, one is that its whereabouts are strange, and the other is that it sleeps all year round and only wakes up once every three years. As for how long it wakes up, it depends. It's in the mood."

Yu Wan said again: "Will it be easier to find when it is awake?"

The old man nodded: "It will hunt for food when it is awake. If we lure it out through bait, it will be much better than our aimless search."

Yu Wan understands after saying that, Gu worm is so small, its breath will weaken when it falls asleep, finding it in the boundless Gu Mountain is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it is different with the strength of a few of them. , Yu Wan believes that as long as it is willing to show up, it will not be able to escape their palms.

There's just one more question: "Grandma, when was the last time it woke up?"

The old man said, "It just so happened that three years ago, the Queen's Mansion should have calculated the time for it to wake up, and will only think of ways to attack it in the near future."

"I heard something." Qingyan suddenly said.

"What's the matter?" Yu Wan asked.

Qingyan said, "I went to the Gu Masters Guild with A Wei today, and I heard news that Meng Da Gu Master of the Queen's Mansion has also been admitted to the seven-zhang Gu old age. I think they are also ready to enter the Gu Mountain."

Yu Wan was not surprised by this news, after all, Dong Xian'er had reminded her early in the Juxian Building that the great Gu Master of the Queen's Mansion might have the strength of an old Gu.

Yu Wan pondered: "What we can think of, they may not think of it. At that time, both sides will send out bait, and it's hard to say who will take Snow Toad's meeting."

"It's a big deal!" Jiang Hai said stubbornly.

This is a helpless retreat. Little Emperor Ji needs Snow Toad to keep her position as a queen, and they need Snow Toad to cure Yan Jiuchao's poison. No one can give in.

The old man looked at the sky and said, "There will be rain today and tomorrow, so it is not appropriate to enter Gu Mountain. They will have to the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

Qingyan clapped: "Then we will also set off the day after tomorrow!"

Queen's Mansion

The lady has already learned that there are three more seven-zhang little Gu elders in the Gu Palace. She feels a crisis. She is the one who should be protected by the Gu God. Now that there are three more, she feels as if she It's not so special anymore, but she didn't worry about it for long. She is a person who wants to be a monarch, and her heart should be as broad as the ocean. It is a good thing to have a Gu God to protect her people.

She is the way of heaven, and they are children born in accordance with the way of heaven. When she ascends the throne, she will definitely reuse them.

As for now, there are things that draw her attention more than a few old Gu elders.

"Master Meng, how are you preparing for this trip to Gu Mountain? What else is needed, but please tell me." She looked at the man standing in the center of the flower hall and said.

Old Meng Gu said: "Everything is ready, the bait is ready, and the accompanying Gu Master and guards are also set. I will leave the day after tomorrow. Your Highness will just wait for my good news."

The female monarch smiled with satisfaction: "When I become the monarch, I will enshrine the lord as the national teacher."

The national masters of all dynasties were all priests, and Gu masters had never had this honor.

Elder Meng Gu was flattered, and bowed his hands in a salute, "This subordinate is terrified!"

The female monarch held up his hand: "As long as you help me get Gu, you will be my confidant minister, the position of national teacher, and you will do my part."

Elder Meng Gu took a step back, lifted his hem and knelt down on one knee: "I, Meng Qi, swear here, I will definitely find Snow Toad for His Highness!"

The queen smiled with relief. Meng Gu was always the highest-ranked Gu elder in the entire Nanzhao. Even though there were still three seven-zhang small Gu elders, firstly, they would not go to Gu Mountain to compete with them for the queen. He was also a seven-zhang Gu old man, and of course Meng Qi was more old-fashioned, so the Queen Gu would definitely be Meng Qi's possession.

The lady is convinced of this.

At night, it really was as grandma said, it started to rain lightly, and the three little black eggs knelt down on the bed in a particularly hypocritical manner, with their little faces buried on the pillow, and their little buttocks raised high. Yu Wan almost burst out laughing at the appearance of the rain.

That night, Little Treasure squeezed out the two older brothers very deliberately, and successfully seized the position closest to the inside of the bed, which was where Yu Wan slept.

I can finally get rid of stinky daddy, hum!

Xiaobao twisted his butt proudly.

After turning off the lights, the room became dark, and Yu Wan and Yan Jiu went to bed.

The little treasure thief looked at the figure lying down over the three of them, and he rushed over without saying a word!

When it was over, I felt something was wrong.

He opened his big black eyes and stared blankly there.

Until a low laugh came from overhead.

Omg!

Pounce wrong!

Xiaobao's whole hair is blown up!
