"look!"

After finally breaking free from Yunqi's arms, Bai Yanqing handed the bun in her hand to Yunqi's eyes!

Yun Qi looked at the steamed bun in Bai Yanqing's hand, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart: Why did he take out such a disgraceful steamed bun at this time?

Seeing the confusion on Yun Qi's face, Bai Yanqing opened her mouth and told Yun Qi about the old woman she had just met!

Hearing this, Yun Qi reached out and took the bun. Just when Yun Qi was about to reach out and break open the steamed bun, he was interrupted by a female voice: "Stop! Don't break it open!"

It’s Mrs. Qingluan!

"Mrs. Qingluan? Sister Bizhi? Caixing? Why are you here?"

Looking at the familiar three people in front of her, a trace of doubt flashed across Bai Yanqing's face, and then her eyes filled with joy! She jumped off the carriage, ran to Cai Xing, and hugged Cai Xing tightly!

"This bun cannot be broken!"

Mrs. Qingluan walked forward quickly and knocked the bun out of Yunqi's hand!

"Look! There's a bug inside that steamed bun!"

Yuan Li noticed with sharp eyes that a bug suddenly crawled out of the bun that Mrs. Qingluan had knocked to the ground! I saw it quickly burrowing into the dead grass on the roadside, but there was something faster than it! Suddenly, a long black insect sprang out from Mrs. Qingluan's feet, and then bit straight towards the insect! With just one bite, the worm was swallowed by the long worm!

"What's this?"

Bai Yanqing saw the long black insect, which seemed to be unfinished, spinning around Mrs. Qingluan's feet. She was curious and couldn't help but ask!

Mrs. Qingluan didn't say anything, she just carefully put away the long insect! As if afraid of frightening it!

"What was that just now? How could there be a bug in that steamed bun?"

Seeing that Mrs. Qingluan was silent, Bai Yanqing continued to ask anxiously. She had an intuition that this matter was not that simple!

"Miss Bai, who gave you that steamed bun just now?"

Mrs. Qingluan put away the long insects, and then asked Bai Yanqing with a serious expression.

"It's... an old woman with slightly white temples! Of course, in my opinion, that person must be disguised!"

Bai Yanqing is not a fool. The old woman who suddenly appeared seemed harmless, but Bai Yanqing was inexplicably wary of her! Although the old woman pretended to be very similar to her, her body shape, clothes, appearance and even her voice all pretended to be very much like an old woman! But her white and clean fingers still betrayed her!

I would like to ask, how can an old woman in her seventies or eighty who works in the fields have a pair of white and wrinkle-free hands? And those fingers have distinct joints, and the joints are even thicker than those of women. It is obvious that they are a pair of men's hands! .br>

"Old woman?"

Mrs. Qingluan was a little stunned!

"How do you know, Madam, that there are poisonous insects inside that steamed bun?"

Yun Qi stood aside and couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, the insect that Mrs. Qingluan was so nervous about must be a poisonous insect!

"That's not a poisonous insect! That's a poison! If I'm not mistaken, it's a concentric poison!"

Mrs. Qingluan's face was serious, and she didn't look like she was joking!

Concentric Gu? It’s Tongxingu again!

Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi looked at each other!

"Why...would someone cast the concentric poison on me?"

Bai Yanqing frowned, very puzzled!

Previously, I heard from Aunt An that this Concentric Gu was unique to the royal family of the Xingyue Kingdom, and was used by successive emperors and concubines of the Xingyue Kingdom to stabilize the government and control the royal husband! That being the case, this Gu should not appear among the people! But why, outside this wilderness, would someone actually bewitch Bai Yanqing? Bai Yanqing is not from Xingyue country, so what is the purpose of bewitching her?

"Why would someone put a poison on my wife? This poison is unique to the royal family of the Star-Moon Kingdom. Why does it appear on the land of the Chen Kingdom? And in this wilderness? Madam Qingluan, what on earth do you, the Star-Moon Kingdom... What happened?!"

The thought of someone coveting me

Coveting Bai Yanqing, Yun Qi felt angry in his heart!

Mrs. Qingluan's face was solemn, and now she couldn't explain the reason!

"Miss Bai, you...maybe have some secrets hidden in you, maybe!"

Mrs. Qingluan tilted her head and locked her eyes tightly on Bai Yanqing.

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. What secret could Bai Yanqing hide? She is the legitimate daughter and only daughter of the Prime Minister of the Chen Kingdom. The only thing that makes her coveted is her identity and the family behind her mother - the Ji family! Other than that, nothing special!

"What secrets can there be about me? If we really want to pursue it, I'm afraid... my mother has some secrets, right? Otherwise, why did someone send Caixing to my Bai Mansion in the first place? And to me again? In mother’s hands?”

Now, if I think about it carefully, I am afraid that the source of the matter must be traced back to Ji Jinchu! After all, how did Ji Jinchu get to know someone from the Xingyue Kingdom royal family? And why did she dare to risk herself to take Cai Xing in? All of this is an unsolved mystery!

Just when everyone was thinking hard and puzzled, Mrs. Qingluan suddenly snorted, and then saw the long worm she had just put away suddenly jumped out of her sleeve, and the long worm The direction of the leap was actually towards Bai Yanqing!

Bai Yanqing couldn't dodge, so she subconsciously raised her arms to block in front of her. Just then, she saw a small white snake leap out from Bai Yanqing's sleeve and hit the long black insect head-on!

With a "pop" sound, the black long insect and the white snake both fell to the ground!

"noob!"

When Bai Yanqing saw her little white snake being knocked to the ground, she immediately felt sorry for it. She knelt down, picked up the little white snake on the ground, put it in her hand, and carefully inspected it to see if it was injured.

"Where did Miss Bai get this white snake?"

The moment she saw the white snake, Mrs. Qingluan's expression obviously changed! She stepped forward eagerly and couldn't wait to ask.

"It... appeared in front of me on its own!"

Therefore, Bai Yanqing told Mrs. Qingluan exactly how he had rescued the little white snake in the palace.

"It's all fate! All things have animism, and Miss Bai's ability to obtain this magical object is also a fate given by God!"

Mrs. Qingluan glanced at the little white snake in Bai Yanqing's palm and couldn't help but sigh!

"Sacred object? Madam Qingluan, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Yanqing looked at the white snake in her hand and asked with some doubts. Mrs. Qingluan's words are a bit confusing, making it difficult for people to tell the truth from the truth!

"That's all, you will know later!"

Mrs. Qingluan obviously didn't want to say anything at this moment. She just bent down, carefully put the long black worm into the porcelain jar, and said nothing again!

The little white snake seemed to have woken up at this moment. It raised its head and grinned at Mrs. Qingluan. From the looks of it, it was quite unhappy with Mrs. Qingluan and her long worm!

"good!"

Bai Yanqing stroked the little white snake's head and comforted her softly. After a while, it lowered its head, obediently pressed against Bai Yanqing's hand, and lay softly on her hand, as if it was enjoying itself very much!

Everyone looked at this magical scene with surprise and sigh in their eyes!

Unconsciously, the sky has completely darkened. Bai Yanqing and the others have strayed too far from the main route. If they return to the main route now, they don't know what kind of trouble they will encounter along the way! So, Bai Yanqing suggested that since the man pretending to be a mother-in-law signaled to Bai Yanqing that there was a village in front of him, it would be better for them to follow what the man said and go to the so-called village to explore it!

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the cub! Since he asked me to go, then I will go! Let's see what tricks they can pull off!"

Bai Yanqing has never been afraid of the unknown at all!

Just as everyone was discussing, Yun Ji and Yuan Ziyue also arrived!

"Didn't His Highness the Third Prince not want to come here? Why did he come here again?"

Caixing replied angrily. Thinking of the critical moment, Yun

What Ji said made Cai Xing furious!

Seeing this, Lai Bizhi quickly stretched out her hand to grab Cai Xing and pulled her to her side, for fear that the two of them would quarrel again!

Yun Ji knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't say much to Cai Xing, so he just stood aside silently.

Seeing something was wrong between the two of them, Bai Yanqing quietly asked Lai Bizhi. When she learned that Yunji and Caixing had a few quarrels because of her own affairs, she felt a little guilty in her heart!

"The third brother is still a kid at heart, so don't take it to heart! Once he figures it out on his own, everything will be fine!"

When Yun Qi learned about Yun Ji's mischief from Yuan Ziyue, although he wanted to blame Yun Ji for a few words, he had to save some face for Yun Ji because there were so many people around.

It's not that Bai Yanqing is arguing with Yun Ji, she just feels a little guilty because she made everyone embarrassed because of her anger!

"Let's go together! Anyway, we are in the light now, and the enemy is in the dark. No matter how hard we hide, we can't escape! In this case, we might as well not separate again!"

Lai Bizhi simply opened her mouth and made her words clear.

Bai Yanqing also felt that what Lai Bizhi said was reasonable, so she immediately discussed it with Yunqi and decided that the group would no longer go in two directions! Entering the village together, they will be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and earth. There are so many of them, who can they not be afraid of?

So, the group of people set out on the road again! The target is the village not far ahead!

The sky is getting colder and colder. As soon as the sky darkens, the cold wind blows from all directions, making everyone tighten their necks! The people in the carriage were fine, as the carriage was still sheltered from the wind, but the man on horseback suffered! Bai Yanqing felt a little sorry for Yun Qi. Thinking that the village was not far away, she asked Yun Qi to get on the carriage! There were two carriages, one for Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi, and one for Caixing, Mrs. Qingluan and Lai Bizhi. Yuan Ziyue and Yuan Li drove their carriages separately, and Yun Ji was the only one left on horseback!

The cold wind was howling, and Yun Ji was shivering from the cold, but no one asked him to get into the carriage to take shelter! Yun Ji did not dare to ask. He understood that his previous words had indeed chilled everyone's hearts! Moreover, he also knew that his brother was intending to punish him.

For Yunqi, Yunji is in awe! But this time, it was obvious that he had violated Yunqi's bottom line! Although Yunqi did not show any dissatisfaction on the surface, Yunji knew that his brother was always silent when he was really angry!

"Your Highness, how about letting the Third Highness come in to escape the cold wind? The wind is cold at night, and it will freeze him again!"

After all, Bai Yanqing couldn't bear it. She quietly lifted the curtains of the car and looked at Yun Ji who was rubbing his hands in the cold wind. She couldn't help but plead for Yun Ji.

Yun Ji is only sixteen, after all, he is still just a half-grown child!

"He is not young anymore. He should understand what he should do and what he should not do! If he keeps acting like this, how will he be able to shoulder his responsibilities in the future? My father wants to raise him to death, but I don't want to !」

Yun Qi didn't even raise his head to glance at Yun Ji outside. He said leisurely to Bai Yanqing.

After hearing this, Bai Yanqing lowered her hands silently and closed the car curtain again. Perhaps, Yunqi is right, Yunji is not young anymore! If he had been born into an ordinary family, he would have started a family and started a career at this age! But he happened to be born into the royal family! Sons of the royal family are destined to have to work harder than sons of ordinary families! If he doesn't polish his temper now, he might cause a lot of trouble in the future!

Since ancient times, eldest brother has been like father. Since Yunqi wants to sharpen Yunji, naturally others should not interfere!
