() Qi Yuan had been sleeping uncomfortably for a few days, and the affairs in the capital, coupled with the upcoming trip, also made Qi Yuan even more annoyed.

Yin Qingqi's attitude was also tepid, the long silence made Qi Yuan unable to figure out her thoughts, and the muddy nightmare that had been making Yin Qingqi very distressed, and more importantly, Xue Tan had no news in Yangzhou at all.

"Qi Yuan."

When Yin Qingqi came to the East Palace, the first thing he asked was the news of Xue Tan.

"Xue Tan is okay in Yangzhou? Why is there no news at all? ”

"It's fine."

Qi Yuan had a cold face, and Yin Qingqi also saw Qi Yuan's dissatisfaction, so he had to remain silent.

"The affairs of Yangzhou have been almost dealt with, and today Chen Dongshan sent troops to bring Dong Zhe and Ji to Beijing to ask for guilt."

"I'm worried now that the sixth elder brother will get in the way."

"Sixth?"

Yin Qingqi frowned, "But what's the use of him asking Dong Zhe?" ”

"Dong Zhe, holding the power of soldiers and horses, besides, the Quartet of the capital has been waiting for the news of Dong Yu's father and son, and now that Dong Yu is dead, they will not just give up."

Qi Yuan himself knows that although he controls the government, he does not have any military power, when the emperor is there, these old ministers at least care about the majesty of the emperor, but now, he does not have the so-called "imperial power" to put pressure on those old ministers.

Now he can only count on the strong Xue family, but with the relationship between Xue Tan and Yin Qingqi, it also makes Qi Yuan and Xue Tan more estranged.

The grievances between Siniang and the Xue family have not been resolved for a long time, although Qi Yuan is not an indecisive person, but in this regard, Qi Yuan still silently remembers it, no matter what identity Siniang is, but since it is his own person, it is impossible for Qi Yuan to let Siniang be bullied for no reason.

The Xue family is the only family in the capital that has no deterrence from imperial power for the time being, and it is also the only person Qi Yuan can trust.

"Why don't we talk to the Xue family?"

Qi Yuan slowly opened his mouth and discussed with Yin Qingqi.

"With Xue Tan's relationship, it must be easy to win over, but I still don't know if the Xue family is willing to fight against the sixth elder brother for the sake of the court."

"You mean the Xue family hasn't stood in line yet?"

Yin Qingqi narrowed her eyes and stared at Qi Yuan's expression.

"But I think Xue Tan has always been helping you, Qi Yuan, you can't forget this kindness."

"Xue Tan is

Because of you. Qi Yuan said coldly, suppressing his anger in his throat.

"If it weren't for you, I'm not sure Xue Tan would have helped me."

"Do you think you're going to do something to Xue Tan?"

Yin Qingqi's face was full of surprise, "Qi Yuan, Xue Tan is the one who disrupted Dong Yu's plan twice, you can't fall into the trap like this." ”

"Do you know how many people in the capital are staring at my crown prince position now?"

Qi Yuan slapped the table, and his voice raised an octave, "Let me tell you Yin Qingqi, you are now the crown princess, but you are not the little girl of the Jinghong Pavilion, I hope you can see your position clearly." ”

"What's wrong with Xue Tan?"

Yin Qingqi held back his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Yuan, if you kill these loyal ministers who serve the country at will because of your imperial power, the people in the court will leave you." ”

"Don't think that now that you have become the crown prince, you can do whatever you want, Xue Tan has always been loyal to the emperor, the Xue family is a hero of the past dynasties, if you try to deal with him because he didn't stand in line, tell you, I don't agree."

"It's up to you to teach me a lesson from a woman's family here!" Qi Yuan had a cold face and shouted out of the door.

"Come on, take the princess back."

Yangzhou.

Xue Tan Chang Lei and Chen Dongshan resigned, explained the follow-up, tomorrow morning, Dong Zhe and Ji will follow Chen Dongshan's team into Beijing, just in case, Chen Dongshan will send the most elite team.

Xue Tan and Chang Lei stayed for a few days, waiting for Qi Yuan and Yin Qingqi to come to Yangzhou, and then went to Nanzhao together.

"Old man, have you ever heard of Nanzhao?"

Xue Tan took Chang Lei to the old doctor's new residence, that is, Haichun Courtyard.

"Nanzhao?"

The old man's blurred eyes lifted, "Why are you asking this?" It's not a good place to be. ”

Chang Lei and Xue Tan glanced at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

"The old gentleman is well-informed, and a few of us went to Nanzhao to seek medical advice."

"What disease?"

The doctor's keen intuition made the old doctor a little alert, and he was also very interested in these strange diseases.

"This ......"

Xue Tan hesitated. "Old man, in fact, I had the same dream as the current crown princess, dreaming of a black cat and some strange people."

"Weird?"

"What's the weird way?" The old doctor asked.

"They were all dressed in plain robes, and there was a jade sign with the word 'hour' on their clothes."

"Hours?" The old divine doctor frowned, "I seem to have heard of it somewhere." ”

"Beijing?" Xue Tan asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's the capital."

The old doctor suddenly realized, "If I'm not mistaken, they're a horrific organization. ”

"That's right." Chang Lei nodded.

For the twelve hours, rumors have been circulating on the rivers and lakes for many years.

Twelve Hour was originally a secret organization in the capital, but in the future it developed into the most terrible organization in the entire capital, everyone was in danger, and they didn't even dare to say much in the capital.

As a doctor who once practiced medicine in the capital to save the world, the old man naturally knew these people.

"How did you mess with them?"

"I don't remember what I had in touch with them." Xue Tan shook his head.

If Yin Qingqi was persecuted by those people, it would be understandable, but why did those people find him?

Is it really as Qi Yuan said, it was all done by the sixth elder brother?

"Since the old gentleman knows the twelve hours, can he know the method of interpreting dreams?"

"These things are indeed the witchcraft of Nanzhao Kingdom, and they are also extremely difficult to crack."

The old man said slowly, and then continued.

"Nanzhao Kingdom is different from us, they exist in a tribal way, and the most shady tribe is called the Huo Meng clan, and their way of life is to earn money by helping people control their dreams."

"Dream control?"

Xue Tan frowned, there was such a strange evil witchcraft in the world?

"They rely on drugs to control the meridians of your brain, so as to achieve the desired goal, of course, the most important of which is drugs, otherwise it is impossible to control you."

"Does the old doctor know the solution?"

"The ...... way," the old divine doctor sighed, "I'm afraid that only places like Nanzhao can have an antidote." ”

The old divine doctor shook his head, "I really can't do anything this time, those people's medicines are too vicious, and only their own people know the antidote. ”

"Can you tell me some details?"
