I, the first son, became a woman

I, the first son, became a woman Chapter 388

Xia Juan nodded and understood in an instant.

Just like what she discussed with Ye Ning before.

Now it's in a state of stalemate.

No one dared to make a real move, the most they could do was send some soldiers to harass the border.

But in a real war, no one would be willing to do this.

Otherwise, if he falls down, he will definitely end up with Xian Chao.

"Recently, my father's body is weak, not as good as before."

Speaking of this, Qi Xiunian touched his nose.

"So a lot of things are on the shoulders of a few important ministers, and me, the crown prince."

"But according to my father's intention, we now..."

For a moment, the three of them held their breaths and paused.

Xia Juan looked at Qi Xiunian coldly, and stood aside, listening to their conversation.

"Preserve your strength!"

"Preserve strength?!"

Hearing Qi Xiunian's words, Xia Juan nodded thoughtfully.

"In this situation, there is only one way."

"Well, you are right, there is only one way for Xian Dynasty to go now."

Qi Xiunian raised his head to look at Xia Juan, nodded and said.

"In short, before the war comes, the imperial court has decided to recruit troops on a large scale and store food and grass."

"And from now on, every citizen of the Xian Dynasty needs to practice martial arts!"

"The whole country is martial!"

Xia Juan took a deep breath, and knew that the next few years would come.

I am afraid that the atmosphere and pattern of the entire Xian Dynasty will be very different.

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Speaking of this, Qi Xiunian frowned, showing a look of embarrassment.

He turned his head and looked at Ye Ning.

"The longevity lamp of the prince in the palace suddenly went out not long ago."

Qi Changping!

For a moment, Xia Juan felt a tug in his heart, and his teeth clenched.

Chapter 411

"Longevity lamp?!"

Ye Ning rolled his eyes suspiciously.

After hesitating for a while, he asked.

"Whose?!"

"Qi Changping."

Qi Xiunian narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ye Ning.

"Although he is the most ruthless emperor's family, but...he is my emperor's younger brother, my father's son after all."

I'm afraid...it's really not...

Hearing what Qi Xiunian said, Xia Juan secretly laughed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

This Emperor Qi Chenlong is also pathetic!

A huge green hat was worn on his head, but he didn't know it.

But on second thought.

The emperor has so many wives, and he can't even get wet.

In private, who can know how many hats are worn? !

Xia Juan smiled slightly, walked to the table, and sat down.

"Prince, so Qi Changping...?!"

Xia Juan struck first, pretending to be dumbfounded but also puzzled.

"When each prince or princess is born, the lantern master in the palace will light a long-lived lamp."

"This long-lived lamp is blessed with mana, which can be used to predict bad luck and predict the future."

"When the lamp goes out, it means that the lamp owner is dead!"

Qi Xiunian shook his head.

"Qi Changping is probably in danger."

"Then... when my father heard about this, he was furious. He ordered the six doors and Jin Yiwei to search for the real culprit and find out the criminal! It is imperative to save the royal family's face!"

"I see……"

A trace of confusion and complexity flashed across Xia Juan's eyes.

It seems to be a little happy, but also a little regretful.

Still with three points of confusion.

Of course, she deliberately disguised all of this for Ye Ning and Qi Xiunian to see.

Even her gaze was only revealed for a second, and then she quickly put it away.

Because Xia Juan knew that with the strength of Qi Xiunian and Ye Ning.

Even if it is only a short second, they can detect it.

Although probably not too detailed.

But it is precisely because it is not detailed that it makes it appear that I don't want them to see it.

It seems that I am more real and unintentionally revealed involuntarily.

Xia Juan was telling Qi Xiunian on purpose.

She didn't know about Qi Changping.

Even regarding Qi Changping's death, she was very complicated and had mixed feelings.

As for the heart? !

In fact, Xia Juan couldn't tell.

She just knew that she must not let others know that Qi Changping was killed by herself.

Otherwise, the consequences... would be unimaginable.

"Um……"

On the opposite side, Qi Xiunian really caught the fleeting complexity in Xia Juan's eyes in an instant.

He thought for a while, then nodded.

"I almost forgot, Xia Juan, you were working under the third brother back then, right?!"

"Ah."

Xia Juan looked as if he had been awakened suddenly, and then nodded hastily.

She calmed down and smiled.

"Yeah, it seems like it was yesterday. It's just that something happened later..."

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Ning and shrugged her shoulders.

"Things are different and people are different. Since the third child is dead, don't worry about many things anymore."

Standing up, Qi Xiunian sighed.

"But this matter will not be let go, it is related to the dignity of the royal family."

"By the way, do you have any clues?!"

"After all, the day when the third child disappeared... seems to be the night when the evil spirit and the nine stars are coming."

"This……"

Xia Juan lowered her eyes and looked at Ye Ning.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Juan was about to speak, but Ye Ning stepped in first.

"Actually, when we went to the Eye of the Underworld, we saw Qi Changping."

"Huh? What's going on?!"

Hear Ye Ning's words.

Qi Xiunian turned around in an instant.

"At that time he...Xiu Nian, you know about Qi Changping's practice of evil kung fu."

"We entered the Eye of the Underworld together, but later... the Eye of the Underworld is vast and boundless, and we never met him again."

Ye Ning's eyes were firm, as if he was thinking.

"So... a person from the underworld?!"

Qi Xiunian frowned and narrowed his eyes.

"The underworld is now colluding with the Demon Sect and the Southern Marquis kingdoms to deal with our Xian Dynasty. If Qi Changping is arrested, it will indeed be a disaster..."

"So to say……"

After a while of silence, Qi Xiunian came back to his senses.

"Well, I will tell the above about this matter, it has nothing to do with you."

Ye Ning and Xia Juan didn't move or show any expressions.

It does seem to be completely unaware.

"Okay, let's not talk about that kid."

When the topic changed, Qi Xiunian smiled.

"After all, my father has so many sons, there is a high probability that in a few days, when he falls in love with a new beauty, he will forget about it."

A slight smile made Xia Juan feel the ruthless indifference of the Emperor's House.

And that almost bone-piercing horror.

Xia Juan smiled awkwardly, lowered his head, but fell silent for a while.

"Anyway, it's good for you to come back."

"Now that there are internal and external troubles, my Xian Dynasty needs to rest and recuperate to prepare for the next battle."

"Both of you, you have to improve your strength quickly, and it's best to break through to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm."

"It won't be long... Maybe you will have to work around."

Shaking his head, Qi Xiunian looked at the densely packed documents on the table and let out a laugh.

"Xiu Nian, don't worry."

Ye Ning smiled lightly.

"Well... well, you must have been tired for the past two months, and it's getting late, go back and rest."

Qi Xiunian issued an order to expel the guests.
