When Mr. Yuan heard that they were coming, he trotted all the way to the Golden Palace with excitement on his face.
It was still the cushion used by several people during the morning meeting. Shi Lingyao was sitting casually, with the big white tiger lying on the ground behind her. Shi Bao was sitting next to her legs, talking to her Balala, and dancing and gesticulating with his little hands. G.
Lin Yan stood aside, interrupting to tease Shi Bao from time to time.
Jing Hexuan was sitting on the other side of her, pouring tea for her. The steam was rising, blurring his expression.
He Xixu sat opposite them, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't know what anger he was suffering from.
"His Majesty!"
Mr. Yuan shouted and rushed straight into the hall.
Lin Yan quickly bowed to Mr. Yuan, and He Xixu also stood up and complained half-seriously: "You only have eyes for this guy. I haven't seen you for more than ten days!"
Mr. Yuan quickly said "Hey", looked at He Xixu, and said in an angry tone: "Don't be rude."
He Xixu curled his lips: "He himself said that he was no longer the Majesty of Daxuan a long time ago. It's just that you are stubborn and don't want to admit it."
Mr. Yuan sighed, looked at He Xixu with a complex expression, and then at Jing Hexuan who was pouring tea from Shi Lingyao. He sighed again, slowly walked to the only empty cushion and sat down.
Shi Lingyao lowered his eyes and drank tea, thinking to himself that this old man could tell what he was thinking from his expression without using his mind. He definitely thought that it was all her fault for being such a beauty and a troublemaker, so that the wise king of the generation was so foolish that he gave up his throne and resigned himself to it. Fallen.
He Xixu sat down and poured a cup of tea for Mr. Yuan.
No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere in the room became subtly silent.
Mr. Yuan's eyes wandered around Jing Hexuan and Shi Lingyao, and finally fell on Shi Bao, who was sitting obediently in front of the white tiger's belly. His originally sad expression became warm and showed a little kindness.
He asked gently: "How old is Xiaobao?"
Shi Bao blinked and replied bluntly: "Hello, grandpa! My name is Shi Bao, and I am four years old!"
The little guy always remembers his grandma's instructions not to say he is half a year old, but to say he is four years old. Although he doesn't know why, he just obeys it obediently.
"Okay, okay...good boy."
Mr. Yuan was amused and said three good words in a row while stroking his beard.
He looked at Shi Lingyao, then at Jing Hexuan, and sighed slightly: "I don't know when your Majesty had an heir."
Jing Hexuan raised his eyes to look at him.
He Xixu looked like he was listening to gossip. It was rare that he didn't make excuses everywhere. He just wanted to hear what Jing Hexuan had to say. He had been curious about the origin of this child for a long time.
Mr. Yuan tried his best to persuade him: "You and Doctor Shi's son are already so old. If you really like it, you can definitely invite Doctor Shi's family to come and settle in the imperial capital. If you don't want to let Doctor Shi down, and don't accept other harems, just train the little prince well." , in the future we will have successors to our century-old legacy.”
Shi Lingyuan looked at Mr. Yuan with a half-smile.
Mr. Yuan was unaware and kept chattering: "As long as Doctor Shi is the mother of the country, he will naturally serve the country and the people. We will never harm Doctor Shi. We will definitely make great progress in studying zombie poisons together!"
"Oh? If I didn't have this special treasure, I wouldn't be worthy of being the mother of the country in your eyes, would I?"
Her tone was neither salty nor bland, and her emotions could not be discerned.
Jing Hexuan immediately turned his back and turned to her to speak.
She raised her hand to stop it.
Jing Hexuan hesitated to speak and turned his cold eyes to Mr. Yuan.
Old General Yuan clearly saw the interaction between the two and sighed: "Of course not. You are the one who pleases His Majesty and you have given birth to Lin'er for His Majesty. You are naturally qualified to be the mother of the country."
Shi Lingyao laughed in anger. Whether it was in Taoyuan City or here, this old man always hit her minefield every time he spoke.
The only reason he held back was because he was quite old and he was an old doctor who truly cared about the world.
Otherwise, based on these remarks, let alone killing them or not, there will definitely be no unnecessary contact and cooperation.
Jing Hexuan said coldly: "If Mr. Yuan still wants to achieve what he wants, stop meddling in other people's affairs."
Mr. Yuan looked hopeful: "Do you want to return to the court?"
Jing Hexuan: "The research progress you want."
Mr. Yuan was disappointed for a moment, then straightened his back, looking a little excited: "Have you made any progress in your research?!"
Jing Hexuan handed a new cup of tea to Shi Lingyao: "Of course Doctor Shi has made progress."
Mr. Yuan's eyes immediately turned to her, his face full of eagerness: "I have known for a long time that Dr. Shi will definitely have a solution! Do you want Dr. Shi to tell you what the progress is?"
He Xixu looked surprised: "Have you really made any progress in your research?"
She ignored him and just said to herself: "Before that, I want to say something first."
With that said, she motioned to Lin Yan to bring Si Xiang and the zombie who were left outside the city, and Lin Yan followed the order and left.
Later, she told the truth about her three abilities: wood, mind power, and Sai Juechen. She also said that the source of the blood red branches was her blood. She also introduced the functions of the other two derived red branches, as well as the blood Tell us all the harm caused by red branches falling into other people's hands.
It's just that she hides her power of thought and can detect the immediate thoughts of others.
Her probing ability has great limitations. Only when the other person subconsciously thinks about her question without any precautions can she accurately know the person's inner thoughts.
If the other party is prepared in advance and deliberately keeps thinking about things she doesn't want to do, then she won't be able to get the information she wants.
Therefore, the use of mind to explore the heart must be kept strictly confidential. At present, Jing Hexuan can only guess a little bit, but no one else knows.
Mr. Yuan was dumbfounded.
He Xixu murmured to himself: "No wonder you said that night that a monster was imprisoned in Li Xiayu's dungeon to draw blood..."
She replied: "That monster is my cousin, her name is Xu Yingying. It was she who got the third red branch I lost by chance and caused so many troubles. She also turned herself into a neither human nor ghost. She also got along with Li Xiayu They worked together to cause trouble in the south and ended up with a tragic end."
He Xixu asked: "Where is your red branch?"
She concealed the fact that Hongzhi turned into a black doll and said calmly: "She fought with me once before she was captured by Li Xiayu's people, and she has been recovered by me."
Anyway, there is no proof, just make it up, no matter whether they believe it or not.
Mr. Yuan looked thoughtful: "It seems that your treasure is indeed a very dangerous thing..."
He Xixu asked: "Why is your blood so special? Whose blood is highly toxic and can even poison zombies, but the treasures transformed from the blood can save people? Isn't this too contradictory?"
She spread her hands: "You don't need to believe it, it's the truth."
He Xixu was speechless.
Mr. Yuan finally understood all this and looked at her with cloudy eyes: "Then why are you willing to tell all such important trump cards at this time?"
She looked at He Xixu and raised her chin.
He Xixu was stunned: "What?"
"You were there that night. Come and tell the old man what you saw."
