The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 337

It seems she will have to put this matter on the agenda tonight.

"Third Brother, please tell me quickly, what is so special about your identity?"

Could he be some high-ranking official?

Ren Qingzhou: "Junior Sister, we are going to Jiuque now, and the patient lives in Jiuque's harem."

Nine Palaces? Harem?

Isn't that just——

Qiao Xi suddenly realized something and looked at Ren Qingzhou in surprise and said, "A concubine in the harem?"

Ren Qingzhou nodded.

Seeing Third Brother nod, Qiao Xi felt a little regretful for following him.

Based on her knowledge from her previous life, this harem was a troubled place.

Intrigues and deceptions are played out almost every day there. People who are not smart enough may not even know how they died.

Unexpectedly, Li Wen's next words made Qiao Xi want to back out, and she finally understood why the two of them had that expression just now.

Li Wen's eyebrows were pressed down like a knife, and his tone was quite serious: "Yes, and she is a very favored concubine."

Through Qiao Xi's hesitant expression, Li Wen could roughly guess what the little apprentice sister was thinking at the moment. In order to ease her tension and fear, he changed his tone to be relaxed.

"Don't worry, little junior sister. Even if something happens, don't you still have me and your third senior brother?

Don't worry, even if the eldest brother is useless, your third brother is here to keep you safe."

"Really?"

Qiao Xi looked at Ren Qingzhou for a long time, but she didn't see anything special about him, unless -

"Third Brother, is your identity also very special?"

When Li Wen and Ren Qingzhou heard this, they looked at each other and then smiled in tacit understanding.

"Big Brother, it seems our little sister is very smart. I think that even if I don't follow her this time, she will be able to get out of these nine palaces safely."

"It's always better to be fully prepared. But Junior Sister is truly intelligent. She hasn't been studying medicine for long, but she's already surpassed me, who has been studying for nearly ten years."

Hearing their praise, Qiao Xi felt a little guilty and thought to herself: If it weren't for this bug in the space system, she wouldn't even be able to learn medicine in two years.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi quickly replied:

"You two brothers are too modest. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states, 'The best doctor treats illness before it occurs.' This requires more than just a thorough reading of the Spiritual Pivot. Furthermore, one must undergo countless clinical trials to understand how Qi and blood respond to the four seasons. The experience you possess now would be far beyond my reach even in ten years."

"Sir, we are here."

The driver's words were heard in the carriage.

It turned out that while the three of them were talking, the carriage had already arrived at its destination.

Ren Qingzhou was the first to go out, and Qiao Xi was the last to get off the carriage.

When she looked up, she saw the palace gate with vermilion lacquer and gold nails standing tall. On the gate was a large plaque with the three big characters "Donghuamen" engraved on it.

The guard at the city gate had already taken notice when he saw the carriage approaching. When he saw the person coming down, he immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully:

"Meet the Third Prince!"

Although Qiao Xi guessed that Ren Qingzhou had a special identity, she was still shocked when she heard the soldiers addressing him.

She hadn't expected Ren Qingzhou to be a prince. But after spending the past few days with him, she realized he didn't have the condescending attitude of a superior at all, which was truly rare.

Ren Qingzhou nodded slightly to the soldiers, then waved his hand to let them retreat.

"Junior Sister, carriages are not allowed in Jiuque. We will be walking later.

Remember, once you enter the Nine Palaces, look less and talk less, just follow Third Senior Brother."

I don’t know if it was the influence of the towering palace gate, but Ren Qingzhou, who was not very serious in the carriage just now, now exudes caution from head to toe, and has an indescribable majesty.

This majesty should be something that is innate to being a member of the royal family.

Qiao Xi looked at Ren Qingzhou and nodded as a response to him, then put on a look of being ready for battle.

Seeing her like this, Li Wen wanted to say a few words of comfort, but then he thought that it was not bad for her to be like this. After entering the Nine Palaces, even with the protection of her third junior brother, it would not be as cautious as her own, so he swallowed the words of comfort.

The three of them entered Donghua Gate one after another.

In order to take care of Qiao Xi, Ren Qingzhou took steps that were neither too big nor too small, and kept a constant speed. Occasionally, he would meet one or two palace maids along the way.

Qiao Xi watched them kneel down and bow respectfully to Ren Qingzhou, and then she respectfully saw them off before leaving.

None of them said a word in vain.

But when everyone saw her, they seemed to be stunned for a moment, then hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at her again.

Qiao Xi didn't think much about their reaction. She just thought they were taking a second look at her because she was a stranger.

The key point is that at this moment Qiao Xi's thoughts are not on these palace servants.

She found that they had walked such a long way along the palace road without hearing any sound or seeing any trees or flowers.

There were some flowers and plants in a small garden passing by, but still no trees.

This kind of environment and atmosphere made Qiao Xi follow more carefully. She only kept her eyes on the ground and Ren Qingzhou in front of her, and did not dare to look anywhere else.

It wasn't until she heard Ren Qingzhou say, "It's almost there," that she breathed a sigh of relief. But when she thought that things were not over yet, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Junior sister, put this on!"

As Ren Qingzhou spoke, he handed something to Qiao Xi.

She looked closely and saw that it looked like a light blue silk scarf with a pink flower embroidered on one corner.

"This is--"

Although Qiao Xi was puzzled, she still reached out to take it, and after unfolding it, she let Qingzhou explain:

"Little Junior Sister, you may not know that in the harem of Jiuque, the face most likely to cause trouble is probably yours. So it's better to cover it up!"

Ren Qingzhou's words were very straightforward, and Qiao Xi understood why. Without saying a word, she covered her face with the scarf.

Seeing that she was ready, Ren Qingzhou and Li Wen took her in, but they adjusted their positions slightly.

Li Wen walked in front, Ren Qingzhou walked in the middle, and Qiao Xi walked at the end.

As Ren Qingzhou walked, he whispered to Qiao Xi:

"Junior sister, we will be meeting Consort Ruan Yunheng, one of the four concubines in the harem. Her father is the current Grand Tutor Ruan Linyuan.

Ruan Yunheng is the eldest daughter of the Ruan family and the apple of their eye. She has been spoiled in the Ruan family.

Now that she has entered the palace, because of her youth and beauty, there is almost no one in the harem who can match her looks alone.

So my father doted on her a bit, and as a result, she became even more erratic than before.

And she is quite jealous, especially when she sees women who are prettier than her. So——"

Having said that, Ren Qingzhou gave Qiao Xi a look that said, "You understand me," and stopped talking.

After all, they are not far from Shujing Palace where Concubine Shu lives.

Ren Qingzhou knew from a young age that in the harem of Jiuque, there were "ears" almost everywhere.

"Hey, isn't this the Third Prince? The Third Prince has finally decided to return to the palace. But, if the Third Prince is returning, why did he bring a woman with him?"
