"Wan'er, do you like her?" Mu Qi stroked his beard.

He is a tall and handsome man, and even at his age, he is still very graceful.

A pair of eyes, especially shrewd.

Mu Wan'er nodded vigorously: "Mrs. Shen is a good person. She helped me a lot. If it weren't for her, I would never have escaped."

"Okay, then you can see him. I will see him too." Mu Li agreed readily.

His beloved daughter was bullied in Daxia and had to pretend to be crazy to survive. This left her with a huge psychological trauma and she still has nightmares!

Ye Qinghuan is the only person Wan'er wants to see so far.

Mu Li was also curious about what kind of extraordinary woman was that dared to risk her life to help Wan'er again and again.

"Your Majesty."

Just then, a white-haired old lady came hurriedly with a serious look on her face.

Mu Wan'er recognized her. This was her father's wet nurse, Nanny Song. She was also the only person who could come to her father at any time to report anything without being informed.

Her coming must be a big deal.

"Father, I'm going to feed the fish."

"Go!"

Mu Wan'er retreated tactfully.

Mu Yu's face darkened and he asked, "What's the important matter, Madam Song?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look at this."

Nanny Song took something out of her sleeve, and Mu Li's pupils shrank sharply: "Pomegranate?"

The large jade-carved pomegranate has yellow and red peel and bright red seeds.

This, this is one of Linglong’s favorite ornaments!

Linglong likes pomegranates.

Although pomegranates are pleasing to the eye, they are not available all year round.

So she searched everywhere for rare stones, found a skilled craftsman to carve this jade pomegranate, and placed it on a green jade plate in the room to admire it from time to time.

But how could this jade pomegranate appear in Xiyi?

You know, the Bai family took back all the business as early as when he and Linglong broke up.

Even if I want to sell exquisite things, I can't sell them to Xiyi!

"Some time ago, a caravan from the Western Barbarians was selling rare treasures in Kyoto. Princess Huayang happened to see them and bought this pomegranate. Today, when I went to give the princess a peach, I saw it and asked for it back." said Nanny Song.

"Where is that caravan now?" Mu Li's chest heaved violently.

The fingers were clenched tightly, and the emerald on the thumb reflected the sunlight, revealing a hint of blood-red light.

"I have left Kyoto and returned to Daxia."

"Stop them!"

Mu Li almost roared.

He must find out who is selling Xiaobai's things!

Half a quarter of an hour later, Mu Li led a cavalry force out of Kyoto and chased eastward.

Chang Ming led the caravan eastward, but his speed was not fast, because he received a letter from his wife asking about Bai Yanyan's whereabouts, so he asked while walking.

Unexpectedly, this slowness would lead to an accident!

The two cavalrymen attacked them from the front and back and surrounded them!

"Sir, we are a legitimate merchant caravan and have done nothing wrong!" Chang Ming was a little panicked.

The public security in Xiyi is very good. I have never encountered any criminals while doing business. The only dangers are in the border areas.

But we haven’t reached the border yet!

Could it be that some nobleman took a fancy to the treasure he brought with him and wanted to rob him?

"The Regent wants to see you, so wait patiently." said the leading officer.

Regent Mu Li?

That's all right, we have Princess Jiahe!

Chang Ming relaxed and unloaded the goods obediently and waited.

Not long after, Mu Li arrived.

When he saw the Daxia guy in front of him, his face became even uglier.

Xiaobai's baby actually fell into the hands of such a lowly people?

"Open all the goods!" Mu Li ordered.

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Without sending any soldiers forward, Chang Ming quickly opened all the cargo boxes.

Treasures appeared before his eyes, some of which Mu Li had seen before and some of which he had not.

"Where did you get these things?" Mu Li asked gloomily.

A strong murderous aura emanated from his whole body. Fortunately, Chang Ming was also a brave man and did not give in. He said, "My Lord, these are my wife's things. She asked me to bring them to Xiyi to sell."

"Your wife? Who?" A glimmer of hope rose in Mu Li's heart.

Could it be that Xiaobai is not dead?

"General Shen Lin's wife, Ye."

"Ye Qinghuan?"

"Yes."

Mu Zhi was disappointed.

The little flame that had just risen in my heart was extinguished.

That's right, Xiaobai was poisoned by the heart-eating poison and couldn't survive. It was all his fault that he didn't get the Danzhu in time...

When he went back to look for her, the Bai family had retired and Xiaobai had disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, seventeen years have passed.

He imagined that Xiaobai might still be alive, but just didn't want to see her.

Because the heart-eating poison usually does not take effect immediately, it can have a long incubation period.

It was not until their daughter came to him that he believed that Xiaobai was really dead.

So over the years, he couldn't find any trace of the Bai family, and Xiao Bai never came to look for him.

The poison that eats away at one's heart will inevitably attack a woman once she becomes pregnant. Poor Xiaobai managed to hold on until his daughter was born.

He really couldn't imagine how Xiaobai survived the ten months of pregnancy...

Xiaobai, Xiaobai...

"Sir?" Chang Ming saw that Mu Li was in a trance and spoke cautiously.

Mu Li came back to his senses and quickly regained his composure.

The beauty has long since passed away, and there is no trace of her. Now we need to find out where these things came from.

If anyone secretly takes Xiaobai's things, he will never let them off easily!

"Where did your wife get these things?" Mu Li's attitude softened a lot.

Chang Ming thought that Princess Jiahe must have spoken well of the lady in front of the Prince Regent.

So he became bolder and said, "My Lord, these are my wife's dowry."

"Dowry?" Mu Li was stunned.

How could Xiaobai's things become the dowry of Ye family's daughter?

"Yes. If you don't believe me, you can go to Daxia to investigate. I dare not lie."

"Ye family, Ye Huai?"

"Yes, yes! It is the dowry from Minister Ye's family."

Mu Li took a deep breath, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

Almost all the things in here belong to the Bai family. How did Xiaobai's dowry end up in the hands of the Ye family?

What exactly happened during those years when he was seriously injured and in a coma?

"Sir, can I leave now? My wife is waiting for me to report." Chang Ming asked cautiously.

Mu Li looked at those familiar objects with nostalgia and wanted to keep them all.

but……

"Since you are a caravan here to do business, how do you sell these things?" Mu Li asked.

Chang Ming was surprised: "Are you talking about everything?"

"Correct."

"Well, my wife wrote to me and asked me to bring something back..."

"Since we are doing business, there is no reason not to sell it. You name a price and I will take it all." Mu Li interrupted Chang Ming impatiently.

Chang Ming's brows were twisted into knots.

These things are relics left by the Madam's mother. If it weren't for the purpose of finding out the news about Princess Jiahe, the Madam would never have been willing to take them out.

The items he was selling were fake, so he only sold a few and kept the rest for his wife.

Now there is trouble, the Regent wants to buy them all!

If nothing is left, your wife will be so sad!

"What? Aren't you here to sell things? Do you have another conspiracy?" Mu Li's face darkened and he was filled with murderous intent.

The servants in the caravan were so frightened that their legs went limp.

Chang Ming had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "These things are rare treasures. If you want them all..."

"one million."

Mu Li impatiently made an offer directly!

Now Chang Ming's legs also went weak.

What does one million taels of silver mean? Oh my God! The regent of Xiyi is so rich!

"I will send the money to the border and give it to Shen's army. Leave the things here and you can go."

At Mu Li's order, his personal soldiers expelled Chang Ming and others, leaving only the goods.

Chang Ming felt distressed, but what could he do?

I can only pray in my heart that Lady Jiahe will consider their past friendship and return some of the things to my lady as a souvenir.
