After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

Not knowing whether the princess's headache was real or fake, Jiang Hao gave her acupuncture before leaving the princess's mansion.

After leaving the Princess Mansion, she did not return home immediately, but went to the Millennium Building.

Not long after, Xu Xing arrived with Zhuifeng and Jinglei.

"Okay, you're looking for me?"

Xu Xing's face could not hide his excitement, his steps were brisk, and his voice was full of joy.

Zhuifeng and Jinglei stood at the door, leaving it ajar.

Jiang Hao nodded, poured him some tea, and then said, "I have something to ask you, so I asked the shopkeeper to bring you a message."

After Xu Xing handed over the matter of Baiyun Mountain, he had been hiding in the Duke's Mansion for the past few days. Taking advantage of the opportunity to pay respects to the ancestors, he asked about the progress of the preparations for the wedding.

The auspicious date has been set, which is the eighth day of the ninth lunar month of next year.

Although Jiang Hao is Ji Yan's granddaughter, according to custom she only needs to observe mourning for 100 days, which means "one hundred days of filial piety", but Jiang Hao insists on getting married after observing the mourning period for one year like other grandsons.

Xu Xing naturally did as she wished.

Seeing Jiang Hao at this time and thinking of the list of betrothal gifts prepared by his grandmother, he was looking forward to the wedding day.

"There is a foreigner beside His Majesty."

When talking to Xu Xing, Jiang Hao no longer needed to beat around the bush.

"you know too?"

Xu Xing was slightly stunned when he looked at Jiang Hao.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.

"When I entered the palace that day, I found that the emperor gave me a different feeling. He would be dazed from time to time, and sometimes he couldn't connect the words he said to the end. Since he recovered from his illness, this feeling has become more obvious."

"I originally wanted to ask you, but after a delay, I heard within two days that there was a foreigner brought back from outside the palace with His Majesty, and he had endless new things, which pleased His Majesty very much."

"Not only does he know how to please the emperor, but the maids and eunuchs who serve him in the palace also like him very much."

"You came to me to talk about him. Could it be that His Majesty's illness is related to him?"

Jiang Hao didn't know whether the emperor's illness was really related to this foreigner, but based on the eldest princess's hint, she began to have some doubts.

"Have you checked his background?"

"Checked."

Xu Xing nodded: "I heard that he was seen by the emperor in a restaurant. He saw his performance as novel and brought him back to the palace."

In the past, unless there were special circumstances, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion would not take the initiative to intervene in these matters.

But now, the emperor is in poor health and the crown prince is not yet decided. A seemingly insignificant incident in Kyoto may cause unpredictable changes.

Just like the Jiang family had framed him, a series of events were triggered.

"The 'disappearance trick' you mentioned should be a kind of magic. The performance was very amazing, so it caught the emperor's eye. However, he should have been deliberately arranged in the restaurant to wait for the emperor..."

"Chasing the wind!"

When Xu Xing heard this, he already understood what Jiang Hao meant.

Zhuifeng immediately ran in: "Master."

"That foreigner named Mark, have you found out his background?"

Zhuifeng was speechless.

It’s not that they didn’t find it, it’s that they didn’t continue to investigate.

In the previous dynasty, there was trade with foreigners, but it was rare. After the establishment of Dali, there were more foreigners in Jinzhou Prefecture. Therefore, it was not uncommon to meet foreigners in Kyoto.

That's why they...

On one side is the Baiyun Mountain case, and on the other side is the foreigner who is good at performing. They chose to focus on the former...
