Chapter 452: You Switched My Extremely Cold Ice Silkworm, Didn’t You?
Prince Yi's Mansion.
After making a fuss, Zhou Lin ran away with the remaining 100,000 taels.
Silence returned to the mansion.
But Qin Beihuang's heart could no longer be calm.
He sat in the pavilion, looking at the ice silkworms in the box on the table, feeling dazed.
How could this extremely cold ice silkworm be fake?
Qin Jianjian was also frightened by the scene just now, and hurried forward, "Brother, what should we do about the 100,000 taels we still owe the Zhou family?"
"How could it be such a coincidence that the Zhou family showed up just after Jiang Ningwan took the money? You spent three hundred thousand taels to buy this extremely cold ice silkworm, how could it be fake?"
"Can I go to the black market to return it?"
Qin Beihuang had a splitting headache. "They don't cheat in the black market. The extremely cold ice silkworm they gave me should be real."
"But how could this one in my hand be fake?"
He couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.
As night fell, he picked up the box and said, "I'm going out for a while."
He has to go to the black market to find out whether this extremely cold ice silkworm is real or fake!
……
On this day, in the Prince of Chu’s mansion.
The extremely cold ice silkworms absorbed the poison in Qin Shuangchi's body every day. The poison marks on Qin Shuangchi's body had almost disappeared, leaving only faint traces.
The remaining poison is no longer life-threatening.
After using the Ice Silkworm once more, Jiang Ningwan put away the box. "I estimate that in another five or six days, the remaining toxins in your body will be completely eliminated."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lichun hurried into the room.
"Prince, Princess, Qin Beihuang is here to visit."
Jiang Ningwan was not surprised. Qin Beihuang would find out the problem sooner or later.
She stood up and walked out of the room. When she reached the door, she crossed her arms and asked nonchalantly, "What can I do for you, Prince Yi?"
There were scratches and bruises on Qin Beihuang's face, and it looked like he had been in a fight.
He took out the box with a grim expression, "Did you use the Extremely Cold Ice Silkworm to detoxify the King of Chu? Mine is fake, the real one is in your hands!"
Otherwise, how do we explain that the King of Chu was cured of the poison?
Jiang Ningwan looked bewildered. "I don't understand a word you're saying."
Qin Beihuang could hardly hide his anger. "You switched my Extremely Frost Silkworm, didn't you?! On the day I left the black market, someone claiming to be an auction guard took me to a hidden path, saying it was to protect me."
"But when I think about it carefully, from the time I got the Arctic Ice Silkworm to the time I returned to Beijing, the only people I came into contact with were those so-called auction guards!"
It was hard for him not to doubt Jiang Ningwan.
Jiang Ningwan snorted coldly, "What are you talking about? If you say I stole your things, do you have any evidence?"
Qin Beihuang was filled with rage, but of course he had no evidence.
He came just to get the truth.
But it was obvious that Jiang Ningwan would not admit it.
Qin Beihuang clenched his palms, endured it again and again, and looked at her with red eyes, "The 100,000 taels you returned to you before, can you lend it to me again?"
When Jiang Ningwan heard that he came to borrow money again, his face changed.
He quickly turned around and waved, "Goodbye."
"Jiang Ningwan!" Qin Beihuang chased after him.
"close the door."
At Jiang Ningwan's command, the guards at the door stopped Qin Beihuang and closed the door.
Qin Beihuang now owes the Zhou family one hundred thousand taels. After leaving the Prince of Chu's Mansion, he can only go around to raise money.
But Qin Shuangchi sent someone to say hello, and no one was willing to help Qin Beihuang.
Only Qin Beihuang's former subordinates in the Xuanwei Army were willing to help, but their salaries were not high, and no matter how much they tried, they could not fill the hole of 100,000 taels.
Qin Beihuang's whereabouts were closely monitored.
Any action can be known at the first time.
……
In March, the weather gradually becomes warmer.
On this day, Jiang Ningwan was on her way out of the city to the military camp when she met the carriage from Prince Rong's Mansion.
After asking, I found out that Princess Rong was going back to Liyang.
Qin Huaizhao and Ling Jinlan specially came to see him off.
Jiang Ningwan said hello and left in a hurry.
The team rode away. Princess Rong lifted the curtain and looked in the direction Jiang Ningwan left, sighing, "This is exactly what I want my daughter-in-law to be."
"Shao Pei, why do you think Jiang Ningwan looks more like a descendant of the Ling family?"
When she thought of the current descendant of the Ling family, she felt extremely dissatisfied.
Sent it ten miles.
The team stopped, and Princess Rong stepped out of the carriage and said to Qin Huaizhao, "You are busy with official duties. Don't send me off. Go back."
"We have dozens of guards accompanying us. The journey will be very peaceful, so don't worry."
After saying that, he glanced at Ling Jinlan beside him, and his tone suddenly turned cold.
"You too, you're so frail, why would you want to ride a horse? If you fall, Huai Zhao will have to spend time taking care of you."
"Go back slowly!"
Princess Rong is about to return to Liyang, so Ling Jinlan will just take these words as concern for her.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I won't fall. Please drive slowly and be careful."
Princess Rong didn't answer, but held Qin Huaizhao's hand with a worried and reluctant look, "You don't like me disturbing your life, so I'll go back to Liyang first. I don't know when we'll see each other again."
"Write a few more letters home when you have time, so your father can feel at ease."
"Your father would be very happy to know that you are so successful in Kyoto City."
Qin Huaizhao nodded, "I understand, mother."
Then they sent Princess Rong onto the carriage. The two of them stood there, holding the horses, and watched the team gradually go away.
Watching the carriage disappear from sight, Qin Huaizhao held Ling Jinlan's hand and said, "Let's go, we're going back too."
It was the day after Princess Rong left.
When passing through a secluded forest, a group of bandits suddenly rushed down from the mountain, forced the carriage to stop, and surrounded it.
Princess Rong was startled. She lifted the curtain to take a look and clutched her sleeves tightly. "How could there be bandits here so close to Kyoto?"
A rough voice came from outside: "We only rob people, we don't kill people. Leave all your money and we'll let you go!"
Princess Rong's heart sank. Seeing those men with ferocious faces and fierce eyes, she could only accept her fate and said, "Give it to me, give it to me."
Shao Pei immediately wanted to get off the carriage and hand over the money.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Then there was a whoosh sound, and a sharp arrow flew over and hit the tree trunk behind the bandit.
The next moment, a team came riding towards them.
When the thieves saw this, they were horrified.
"They are from the Xuanwei Army, retreat!"
The thieves fled in terror.
Qin Beihuang's men immediately gave chase.
Princess Rong quickly got out of the carriage and looked at the newcomer. "Xuanwei Army? Are you... General Xuanwei?"
She knew Qin Beihuang, but had never met him.
Qin Beihuang rode slowly towards him, nodded slightly and said, "It's me, Qin Beihuang, but I'm no longer General Xuanwei."
"Is Princess Rong all right?"
Princess Rong smiled and said, "I'm fine, but why are there bandits in this place? They are so arrogant!"
Qin Beihuang nodded. "Yes, this area is under the jurisdiction of the Lingwei Army. I don't know how bandits appeared! I'm sorry to have frightened Princess Rong!"
"I'm heading to Liyang. If Princess Rong doesn't mind, I'll escort her."
Hearing this, Princess Rong was overjoyed, "That's great."
With Qin Beihuang escorting me all the way, I don't have to worry about encountering bandits on the road again.
