Chapter 416 What can I do?
"Well, tell the scholar."

Yan Chixia turned around and saw the worry on Xiaoqian's face, and comforted her: "The palace is very safe, and here is not far away. If you have any problems, you can send a message at any time, and I will be there in a moment!"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xiao Qian didn't know what to say and could only nod reluctantly and accept: "Okay!"

She no longer had the mood to stay any longer, and continued, "Then I'll go back, take care of yourself..."

"Let's go, I'll see you off."

Yan Chixia said this and went out first.

Seeing this, Xiaoqian swallowed her excuses and left.

Shangguan Yuer watched them walk out of the courtyard, her bright big eyes flashing, like a cunning fox that had eaten a chicken!

"Ms. Shangguan, I'm going back too. Shura and the others are still waiting for news."

The dragon came out to say goodbye.

Shangguan Yu'er put away her smug cunning, turned around, and explained pitifully: "Brother Elong, the Zhan Palace is the top military honor, and our Shangguan family must rely on it. Hero Yan is a distinguished guest of the palace. I dare not refuse him if he wants to stay. I hope you can understand."

"I see."

The evil dragon nodded. People in the martial arts world have no choice but to follow their own destiny. This principle is true throughout the ages and applies everywhere!
"Then go ahead. I'll let you know if anything happens."

Shangguan Yuer showed her signature smile and spoke softly.

The evil dragon clasped his hands and strode away...

Shangguan Yu'er stood alone for a while, then coldly called out to the maid who was walking quickly in front of her: "Where is my brother?"

The maid shuddered slightly, turned around and stopped, bowed and replied: "My Lord should be in the room reading official documents at this time."

Shangguan Yu'er waved her hands impatiently, and ignoring the maid, she quickly retreated as if she had been pardoned. Without waiting for her entourage, she walked out of the courtyard alone and went straight to find Shangguan Yuanfan.

Dust Fate Pavilion.

The huge courtyard was very deserted. The spring breeze blew up the fallen leaves, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

"These servants are getting lazier and lazier!"

Shangguan Yuer cursed angrily, her face as cold as frost!
"Cough cough..."

A muffled cough was heard from the main house with the door wide open, followed by weak footsteps.

Shangguan Yuanfan appeared at the door, wearing a plain blue shirt. His eyebrows and features were somewhat similar to Shangguan Yuer's. He was handsome and dignified!
Although he was the Grand Marshal, his temperament and appearance were rather elegant and bookish. He did not look like a general at all, but more like a civil servant. He just looked sickly and was very thin, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind!
He frowned, covered his mouth and nose with his fists, and said in a coughing voice, "Control your temper. If you continue like this, after I die, you..."

"Oh my, why do you keep saying these unlucky words? I'm so tired of hearing them!"

Shangguan Yu'er interrupted Shangguan Yuanfan's nagging impatiently. The girl's coquettishness was fully displayed at this moment, but it was also a rare true nature, just like an ordinary sister acting coquettishly to her angry brother.

She walked quickly to Shangguan Yuanfan's side, supported him, and before he could continue nagging, she asked with concern: "It's windy outside, come in quickly, how do you feel today, are you feeling better?"

"You..."

Shangguan Yuanfan sighed helplessly, swallowed the rest of the scolding, and followed Shangguan Yuer's support back to the house: "I took the medicine you gave me, and I feel much better, but..."

He hesitated to speak, his brows furrowed, as if he was unsure and unable to say it?

Shangguan Yuer helped him sit down. She was startled when she heard this and asked nervously, "Just what?"

"Nothing, just a little numbness, maybe it's a side effect of the medicine..."

Shangguan Yuanfan shook his head and made up excuses to get away with it, not wanting Shangguan Yuer to worry because of his illusions.

Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Just now I saw the servants hurried to Yunyan Pavilion, saying that it was your order to entertain the distinguished guests..."

At this point, he couldn't help but nag: "Before, you brought a group of monsters, and I couldn't persuade you to do what you wanted. What kind of monsters and demons are you bringing this time? Can you..."

"It's different this time..." Shangguan Yu'er's scalp tingled when she heard the chatter, and she hurriedly explained, "Hero Yan is a distinguished guest of the Zhan Palace. He is from the Xuanxin Sect and is a famous Taoist master. He stayed here this time because he was worried that Elong and the others might cause trouble, so he wanted to be on guard against them!"

"Yan Chixia? He's a good person."

Shangguan Yuanfan obviously knew Yan Chixia, and he was relieved after hearing this. Then he asked curiously, "Didn't he retire a long time ago? How did he get involved with the general and come to the capital?"

Shangguan Yuer replied: "I don't know either. I only know that he drove a carriage with a killing flag hanging on it through the city in the morning and was received with great ceremony by the Zhan Palace!"

"Why don't I know this?"

Shangguan Yuanfan frowned.

The Killing Army Flag represents the War Palace. Every time it appears, it is bloody and has far-reaching influence. This time it came with Yan Chixia. What is the inside story? Or what does the general want to do? He doesn't know!

But no matter what it was, as a staunch supporter of the general, he must find out and prepare in advance. However, now that the military flags have entered the city for a long time, he is still kept in the dark. No one informed him of such a big thing. He immediately flew into a rage: "What's wrong with the people below..."

"Don't blame them, I was the one who blocked the message..." Shangguan Yu'er explained, "I was worried about your health. Besides, it's nothing to say. I've inquired about it. There's a scholar accompanying you. He's here to take the exam. He seems to be a close friend of Zhang Shishu. The reason why he's making such a big fuss is that Zhang Shishu is trying to build momentum for him. I don't think it's important, so I didn't let the servants disturb you!"

"You have a great idea!"

Shangguan Yuanfan scolded him, but then he stopped and said worriedly, "Good and evil have always been incompatible. You..."

Shangguan Yuer's eyebrows jumped, thinking that it was happening again, and then she interrupted unhappily, "I'm not a child anymore, I know what's going on!"

This remark brought out Shangguan Yuanfan's worry, and he immediately angrily rebuked: "You know, if you really knew, you wouldn't have the audacity to kill Yuan Jiutian. He is the son of the prime minister. Do you know that in order to cover up for you, I..."

"Cough cough..."

Before he finished speaking, his violent emotional ups and downs triggered a heart-wrenching cough...

Shangguan Yu'er immediately panicked, and hurriedly took out a small jade medicine bottle from the storage ring, pulled out the stopper, poured out a black pill, and put it to Shangguan Yuanfan's mouth: "Brother, hurry...take a pill..."

Shangguan Yuanfan felt nauseous when he smelled the medicine, but he endured it and swallowed it. The effect was immediate, and he stopped coughing immediately. He just felt relieved.

He repeated the old story: "This medicine is really amazing, where did you get it from?"

Shangguan Yu'er's eyes flashed with panic, and she said coquettishly: "I already said that I asked for it from a master, why are you still asking?"

Shangguan Yuanfan said dissatisfiedly: "It's because you didn't explain clearly that I kept thinking too much..."

"Don't worry, I won't harm you no matter who I am. I'm counting on you to support me..." Shangguan Yu'er said jokingly.

Shangguan Yuanfan couldn't help but feel angry and amused when he heard this: "You are so old and still so serious!"

Then he sighed: "If I wasn't worried about you, I would never have taken this medicine of unknown origin..."

Finally, she couldn't help nagging: "Yu'er, you are not a child anymore, you should be sensible. You should know that people have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers harm people's hearts. Our family is a big tree that attracts the wind..."

"Hero Yan should be back from sending the people off. I'll go take a look. Otherwise, he'll have another disagreement with Elong and the others and start a conflict while I'm away..."

"take a good rest……"

Shangguan Yuer said this and ran out as if escaping!
"Ugh……"

Shangguan Yuanfan watched Shangguan Yuer leave. As her back completely disappeared, he sighed worriedly, still looking outside the house, his eyes gradually becoming distracted...

The hooligans were stunned for a long time, and suddenly said to themselves: "Send someone to tell the official in charge of the imperial examination..."

"Forget it, it's a waste of time..."

"It's unnecessary..."

He murmured as he got up, walked slowly back to the bed, lay down with his clothes on, and soon fell into a deep sleep!
The void was cleared, and the quilt was lifted up invisibly, covering Shangguan Yuanfan. At the same time, the door closed silently.
