Could he be here to voice his grievances? He couldn't be so petty, could he? It was just sending a person over. It couldn't be that serious, right?
Jing Xunchè could tell from the changing expressions on Yuán Yǔhán's face that he was daydreaming again. "I came here to ask what happened to Féng Qiáo in the brothel."
Jing Xunchè interrupted Yuán Yǔhán's wild thoughts. He was just too idle all day long and always indulged in wild fantasies.
"Féng Qiáo? What's wrong with her?" Yuán Yǔhán felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard this name. Had this woman caused more trouble? Should he take her somewhere else? Anyway, he definitely wouldn't take her to the Prince Regent's Mansion.
"Not yet. It's just that this Féng Qiáo is a bit strange, so I came to ask." Jing Xunchè explained.
"What happened to Féng Qiáo?" Yuán Yǔhán thought for a while but couldn't recall anything. So he called over the secret guard who had been sent to follow Féng Qiáo.
The secret guard told everything that had happened to Féng Qiáo in the brothel in detail. After listening, Jing Xunchè fell into deep thought. There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he heard, but why did this Féng Qiáo give people such a strange feeling?
"I still have something to do. I'll leave first." Jing Xunchè said hello and left. He had to go back and discuss it with Qiér.
Yuán Yǔhán watched Jing Xunchè leave without any mercy and was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This was a typical case of using someone and then discarding them. How could he have such a friend? He must have done something bad in his past life.
"Qiér, what do you think?" There was really nothing wrong with Féng Qiáo's matter, but that was exactly the biggest problem.
"This Féng Qiáo was either replaced by someone else or changed her nature after staying in the brothel for a long time." Mù Fēngqié said calmly. She only hoped it was the second possibility.
"Let's hope so." They had no evidence at the moment. They couldn't just arrest someone for no reason, could they?
"By the way, Fēng'ér came to see me today. She said she found a way to wake up Tūlè Hàoqié." This was what Mù Fēngqié had been wanting to tell Jing Xunchè all day, but she had forgotten for a moment.
"Wasn't it said that only by finding the mother gu could the person be saved?" Jing Xunchè didn't understand.
"At first, that was true, but now Fēng'ér has a way to wake up Tūlè Hàoqié temporarily." This was also good. It would help them deal with the King of the Grasslands.
"Does it require anything?" Jing Xunchè knew that Tūlè Hàoqié's condition must require a lot of medicinal herbs.
"All the medicinal herbs are ready now. There's only one thing missing." This thing was easy to obtain in some ways but difficult in others.
"What thing?"
"A bowl of blood from the person with the mother gu in their body." So they still needed the King of the Grasslands.
"A bowl of blood?" Although it was a bit difficult, it was easier than taking the heart blood. "But is the mother gu really on the King of the Grasslands?"
"Who knows? We'll just have to try. There won't be any danger anyway." At most, Tūlè Hàoqié would just continue to be in a coma. If they were right, Tūlè Hàoqié would wake up. If they were wrong, they wouldn't lose anything.
Jing Xunchè nodded. It was indeed so.
"Before long, there will surely be another banquet in the palace. That will be our chance." Maybe they could even get the heart blood.
"I heard that the King of the Grasslands is very skilled in martial arts. Can you succeed?" Mù Fēngqié looked at Jing Xunchè suspiciously. If brute force didn't work, she could use her method. Just drug the person unconscious and then take whatever they needed.
"I'll make good arrangements. If it doesn't succeed in the end, I'll still have to ask Qiér for help." Jing Xunchè looked at Mù Fēngqié with a smile in his eyes.
He didn't feel ashamed at all for asking Mù Fēngqié for help. She was his wife. What was there to be ashamed of? Those who didn't have a wife were the ones to be ashamed of.
"Okay. You must tell me then." Just like this, the two of them hastily formulated a plan to get the King of the Grasslands' blood, and the King of the Grasslands was completely unaware of it.
"Your Highness, the Empress of the Xueling Kingdom is here." The guard pushed open the door and saw the King of the Grasslands sitting by the window reading a book.
"Let her in." The King of the Grasslands put down the book in his hand and looked up towards the door.
The snow - white dress on the Empress of the Xueling Kingdom didn't make her skin look dark at all. Instead, it made her skin look even fairer. The bright red lips, combined with the Empress's makeup today, gave her an otherworldly aura.
"Greetings to the King of the Grasslands." A clear female voice sounded in the room. The King of the Grasslands stared at the Empress of the Xueling Kingdom without moving and didn't tell her to get up. Without the King of the Grasslands' order, the Empress of the Xueling Kingdom didn't get up on her own.
She stood in front of the King of the Grasslands with her head down, as if she didn't care at all. Finally, the King of the Grasslands spoke, "Get up. The Empress has a good temper."
The Empress of the Xueling Kingdom knew what the King of the Grasslands meant, but she wasn't angry. She just smiled and said, "Thank you for the King of the Grasslands' praise. Many people say that I have a good temper."
The King of the Grasslands glanced at her and then turned his head. She was so boring. She wasn't as interesting as Mù Fēngqié and the others.
"I wonder what the King of the Grasslands called me here for." The Empress of the Xueling Kingdom didn't care about the King of the Grasslands' attitude. After all, they had already bowed to the Grasslands. Whether he had a good attitude or not wasn't a big deal.
"Nothing. I just wanted to get to know the Empress." The King of the Grasslands said calmly while looking at the book in his hand.
The Empress of the Xueling Kingdom twitched the corner of her mouth. No fool would believe this excuse!
"I heard that the Empress is still unmarried." Although it was a question, the King of the Grasslands' tone was very definite.
"The King of the Grasslands is right. I am indeed still unmarried." As a member of the royal family, she had no say in her own marriage. Moreover, as a monarch, she would either take a male consort or marry a king who was beneficial to the Xueling Kingdom.
She only had these two options. Oh... no, there was a third one, but the court officials wouldn't agree. The third option was to remain unmarried for life.
But how could a monarch not have an heir?
"What do you think of the men from the Qin Dynasty?" When it came to this, the King of the Grasslands finally showed some interest and looked at the Empress of the Xueling Kingdom leisurely.
"What does the King of the Grasslands mean?" Was this person being too nosy? Although the Xueling Kingdom was a vassal state of theirs, not all things were under his control.
"I'm just kindly trying to help the Empress. There's no need to be so defensive. The Empress can think about it. The Qin Dynasty is the most powerful country. If the Empress can marry a prince, marquis, or even the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, wouldn't the Xueling Kingdom have an extra layer of protection?" The King of the Grasslands said persuasively.
