Chapter 299 Keeping an Appointment

"The Princess gave me a jade pendant from the Princess's Mansion and told me that I could go to the Princess's Mansion if I had time. But if I don't go, will there be any problems?"

Thinking that he and Xiao Mingxu and Xiao Mingrui were quite familiar with each other and knew all the secrets they should and shouldn't know, Jiang Tunan felt that he could be a little more frank.

"Xiao Nannan, when did you start interacting with the eldest princess?"

Xiao Mingxu was making a lot of noise, but Xiao Mingrui was thinking seriously.

"The princess may have simply invited you to the princess's residence. It would be rude of you not to go, but it's better to have less contact with the royal family."

Jiang Tunan nodded thoughtfully. Tomorrow is the last day of the three-day holiday, so it is a good opportunity to visit the princess's mansion.

No, it seems that I still have to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to see Yu Niang and Xiao Wu. It’s getting late now, so I definitely can’t go today.

Jiang Tunan scratched his hair helplessly, feeling very busy but not knowing what he was busy with.

"what happened?"

Seeing Jiang Tunan's annoyed expression, Xiao Mingrui asked. Xiao Mingxu thought Jiang Tunan was worried about the princess, so he comforted him.

"It's okay. The princess is easy to talk to. She might keep you talking about her sweet memories with her husband all day long."

Thinking about that scene, Jiang Tunan felt that this was indeed something the eldest princess could do.

Looking at Xiao Mingrui, he still looked difficult to get close to, but his eyes and brows were a little more easy-going, and he seemed much easier to talk to than when Jiang Tunan first came to the Xiao Mansion.

"Ok!"

Jiang Tunan smiled back at Xiao Mingxu, and then thought to himself that if he wanted to keep Yu Niang by his side in the future, he would probably have no peace of mind relying on the Nine Needles of Rejuvenating Yang, so he had to think of a way to solve the problem.

Xiao Mingrui is smart and has Zhuying Pavilion behind him. Although Xiao Mingxu is sometimes careless, he has run a big store called Qishefang, so he is also smart. It would be better to discuss it with them and get the bottom of the matter.

"Cousins, I have something else to tell you."

Both of them looked at Jiang Tunan in confusion.

"It's like this. You all know about the Nine Needles for Restoring Yang, right? Its successor, Yu Niang, now lives in the Imperial Medical Bureau. She had a serious illness before, but I cured her later."

Xiao Mingrui nodded.

"I've heard that the entire Xiao Mansion was busy looking for you outside at that time, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I only know that there was a big fight in the court, and some people even suggested using torture to force Yu Niang to hand over the Nine Yang Rejuvenating Needles."

Jiang Tunan was shocked. He didn't expect such a thing to happen before.

"What then?"

"Later, the First Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction fought for the management rights of the Nine Needles to Restore Yang. Later, the Imperial Physician Li reported Yu Niang's condition and the entire Imperial Medical Bureau was unable to save her. The Emperor was furious and the matter was suppressed."

Xiao Mingxu's expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

"I've heard about that, too. During that time, many people went to the Imperial Medical Bureau to look for those two children, hoping to find out the whereabouts of the Nine Needles for Restoring Yang before Madam Yu died. Later, Master Wen stepped forward to protect the two of them, and that's when the disturbance from others stopped."

Xiao Mingrui seemed to be thinking about this matter seriously.

"At that time, the emperor said that after all, it was something that had been passed down from generation to generation in the family. If Yu Niang didn't want to, no one could force her to hand over the Nine Yang Needles. Even if the Nine Yang Needles were lost, it would mean that the Daxing royal family would not have the chance to own such a treasure."

"Is there such a thing?"

Jiang Tunan was actually a little skeptical. Although there were indeed people with noble moral character in this world, as an emperor, with the Dayin who was eyeing him covetously beside him, it was difficult for him not to be tempted by the Nine Needles of Huiyang.

In the battle between Daxing and Dayin at that time, Daxing was almost defeated because of Dayin's poison.

Jiang Tunan suddenly had an idea. Could it be that the emperor also knew that the Nine Needles to Restore Yang was actually just a method to restore vitality, so he acted so calmly.

If this is true, then Yu Niang and Xiao Wu will be in even greater danger.

Whether it was to protect the secret of the year or to shock Dayin, the emperor would never want anyone who knew the truth to live, so if Yu Niang was really dead, it would be a good thing for the emperor.

At that time, he can control Xiao Wu and announce to the outside world that he has obtained a part of the Nine Yang-Restoring Needles. Because he does not have the complete Nine Yang-Restoring Needles, he cannot use them at will. With Daxing's current strength, this level is enough to make Dayin have concerns.

If the emperor knew that I also knew this secret...

Head, danger!!

"What's wrong with you? You look constipated."

Xiao Mingxu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Jiang Tunan. Jiang Tunan replied with a look of despair.

"It's something worse than constipation."
