Coming out of the Regent's study, Cang Qing scratched his head and pulled Cang Yue:

"Sister, what do you mean by Regent?

He said that someone would come to us tomorrow to ask about medical knowledge and witchcraft, and asked us to give a good reply.

He also said, let us not reveal everything too quickly.

What does it mean to let us take charge of the situation?

What on earth does this Regent want to do with all this going on? "

Cang Yue slapped Cang Qing on the forehead, causing the bell on his wrist to jingle.

“You are dumber than the fragrant pig raised by the clan leader’s grandfather.

What the prince meant was that we should behave better tomorrow, but not reveal the clan's secret recipes.

He's clearly trying to buy us time."

Cang Qing covered his forehead, and suddenly he understood:

“So that’s it!

Why didn't the Regent just say it, leaving us guessing? He's really not manly at all."

Cang Yue frowned, and was about to teach him a lesson when a familiar male voice came from behind him:

“Miss Cang, I’ll have someone take you back to your room to rest.

Dinner is also prepared in the house, you two can rest after dinner."

Cangyue turned around and found that the man named Weidong had a bad look on his face.

Guessing that he might be unhappy because of what his brother said, Cang Yue glared at his brother, then looked at Wei Dong, his voice arrogant:

"Don't bother anyone else, just take us there."

In the Shen clan, Cangyue's status is much higher than Cangqing. She is the next saint of the Shen clan appointed by the old clan leader. At such a young age, she has mastered all the secrets of the Shen clan and her abilities are extremely powerful.

Although Cang Qing is not as talented as her sister, she is also a rare person with outstanding talent among the Yi people.

This time, the old patriarch sent the two siblings to the Tianqi Imperial Capital, one to help the Regent solve his problems, and the other to temper their character and prepare for the next generation of the Shen clan.

Cang Qingguang was a simple-minded person and could not understand the good intentions of the Shen clan leader, but Cangyue could sense some of it.

The Tianqi royal family has been indebted to the Shen family. For generations, they have treated the royal family as guests of honor and provided them with secret medicines.

The royal family would send them the necessary supplies every once in a while and secretly help their people in their lives, and this had been the case for hundreds of years.

Although Cangyue brought his brother to the imperial capital this time to repay his kindness and help, he never intended to put himself in a low position.

In her mind, the Regent was just a guest who had been cooperating with their Shen family for a long time. She could be polite to him, but would never flatter him.

Wei Dong was silenced by Cang Yue's self-righteous look. After a moment, he nodded:

"Okay, I'll take you there."

After waving away the guards who were about to step forward, Weidong turned around and walked in front of the brother and sister.

Bringing the people into the backyard, Weidong specifically instructed:

“Miss Cang, there are many places in the mansion that are not convenient for guests to enter.

If you two want to leave the house, you can ask the maids or guards to lead the way."

After arranging the siblings, Weidong turned back again, went back to his room, picked up his things, and rushed to the study again.

Sure enough, the study was brightly lit by candles.

His master was still waiting for him in the study and had not left.

Walking into the study, Wei Dong handed over the letter in his arms and reported respectfully:

"Master, this is the reply letter written by the head of the Shen clan. Please take a look."

Since learning that the emperor was poisoned, in addition to Xu Junjun, Jun Xiaochen also wrote to the Shen clan, trying to ask the old clan leader to come out of retirement.

Unfortunately, the letter was returned by the old patriarch of the Shen clan, who sent a reply letter politely refusing the request, saying that he was not feeling well and could not make the long journey.

Jun Xiaochen was unhappy, but he didn't force anyone to pick him up.

This time, Jun Xiaochen ordered Wei Dong to personally bring the token and lead people, also wanting to see the attitude of the Shen clan.

Fortunately, the chief of the Shen tribe did not disappoint him.

After reading the letter, Jun Xiaochen took the jade box that Wei Dong handed over again, stretched out his fingers to open the lock on the box, revealing twenty neatly arranged jade bottles inside.

Seeing these jade bottles with distinct colors, Jun Xiaochen suddenly thought of Xu Junjun.

She always liked to use various jade bottles to store pills. The brighter the color, the more toxic it was, just like her, like a poppy that tempted people to approach while emitting a faint poisonous fragrance.

Jun Xiaochen fiddled with the cork on the black jade bottle, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Wei Dong looked puzzled, not knowing why his master was so happy.

Could it be that among these medicines, there are some very strange pills?

Wei Dong was still brainstorming, but Jun Xiaochen, having lost interest, closed the lid of the box and waved towards Wei Dong:

"Put the things away and bring them into the palace tomorrow."

According to the old patriarch of the Shen clan, these pills will be of great benefit to the emperor.

Bring it to the palace tomorrow and let the imperial physician test the medicine. If it is really effective, I will discuss it with Xu Junjun and let the emperor use it together.

Jun Xiaochen is also very attentive to the emperor and does not want the child to die early in the struggle for imperial power.

Wei Dong nodded in agreement and carefully walked forward to pick up the jade box.

Before leaving, Weidong suddenly asked:

"Master, the brother and sister of the Shen clan have very erratic personalities. Will Miss Xu be at a disadvantage if she goes up against them?"

After all, Xu Junjun has saved Jun Xiaochen many times and helped him. In Weidong's heart, Xu Junjun is still more important.

Seeing Weidong comparing the Shen clan siblings with Xu Junjun, Jun Xiaochen raised the corners of his lips slightly, as if smiling:

"Do you think Xu Junjun will be at a disadvantage against them?"

Weidong didn't say anything. The personalities of this brother and sister cannot be measured by ordinary people.

Along the way, he had seen the brother and sister use poisonous insects to deal with wild wolves in the mountains, and they had also hunted a wild boar that wanted to take them as prey. They were no less ferocious than Miss Xu.

Miss Xu is a person who is not easy to please with her words.

If the brother and sister had a disagreement and started arguing and fighting with Miss Xu, he didn't know whether Miss Xu could be their match.

Wei Dong was truly worried, but Jun Xiaochen glanced at him and didn't say he was worrying too much. He just told him to step back and wait two days before deciding.

Wei Dong walked out of the study room holding the jade box. Jun Xiaochen glanced at the letter sent by the patriarch of the Shen clan on the table, stood up and held it under the candlelight, watching it turn into ashes bit by bit.

The next morning, Xu Junjun was woken up while she was still asleep.

With her long hair messed up from sleep, Xu Junjun sat on the bed, looking sleepily at the neatly dressed man standing in front of the bed, and said angrily:

“What are you doing!

Don’t you know that if you disturb someone’s sweet dream, you’ll be struck by lightning?!”

Xu Junjun was too excited last night and slept too late. She was forced to turn on the computer before she woke up, and she was in a bad mood when she woke up.

Jun Xiaochen ignored her shouting and ordered the maid to come in and help her wash and comb her hair, and said slowly:

"The Shen clan leader sent some pills to the emperor. I am worried, so I want you to check with the imperial physician before deciding whether to let the emperor take them."

Xu Junjun groaned in frustration, threw the quilt aside, and jumped up:

"I know, I know.

You've been treating me like a donkey all day. When you come back today, you have to pay me two thousand taels for your consultation!"

Jun Xiaochen didn't care about her asking price, he looked at her with a subtle tenderness and said indulgently:

"It's all up to you."
