Chapter 554 Mysterious White Iron Sword
In the Yushi Mansion.
At this time, Yanli, who didn't know that the matter had been exposed, was walking hand in hand in the back garden with her mother Bai Xi.
Ever since Yanli came back as the crown prince’s concubine, Bai Xi was so happy that her daughter was really amazing. She just went to Kyoto and was shown by the prince On.
From this, she felt that her daughter was really capable, and it might not be impossible for her to become a crown princess in the future.
With this thought, Bai Xi reminded, "Daughter! A place like the Prince's Mansion is no better than our home. From now on, you must serve the Prince well and strive to climb up, so that you can be invincible."
"Don't worry, mother! I came back this time to get a good place in the poetry festival. In this way, I will have face when I go back to Kyoto, and the prince will favor me even more." Yanli said softly.
"Then the prince didn't ask you to do anything else, such as helping him deal with Gu Chan?" Bai Xi asked curiously.
Nowadays, in the Jiangnan area, it is because of the support of the new lord Gu Chan that the army sent by the Crown Prince cannot march straight in and completely control the Jiangnan area. Therefore, in this case, it is said that the Crown Prince did not let Yan Li She didn't believe it at all when she came back to help take care of Gu Chan.
Furthermore, Yanli had a grudge against Gu Chan before. Isn't coming back this time a great opportunity for Yanli to deal with Gu Chan?
Yan Li shook her head and said, "Mom, it's strange to say that before I came here, the Crown Prince specifically told me not to provoke Gu Chan. All he wanted was for me to get a good place in the poetry competition, and he only asked me to go back. Get something later."
"What?" Bai Xi asked.
"An iron sword. It is said that this iron sword is in our Yushi Mansion. It is also a sword made of white iron." Yan Li explained.
Bai Xi frowned when she heard it, and thought about it carefully in her mind, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't remember that there was such a white iron sword in the Yushi Mansion.
Yan Li said again, "Mom, I haven't told my father about this yet! Do you know where this white iron sword is?"
"How can there be such a sword! I have never seen this thing in the house for so many years. How about we go look for it in the warehouse at the back and see if there is any in it." Bai Xi said.
Yanli nodded in agreement.
Then the mother and daughter left the back garden together and headed towards the warehouse behind the Yushi Mansion.
Soon the two came to the rear warehouse.
Since few people come to the warehouse, it is extremely dirty everywhere, and the corners are covered with spider webs.
After the two came in, Bai Xi put his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and said with a look of disgust, "It really stinks in here, and I don't know what is piled up. It seems that I will have to ask the people to come over and clean it up another day."
"Mom, just wait for me at the door. I'll go in and look for you." Yanli said with a smile.
"Then be careful!" Bai Xi said with concern.
Yanli waved her hand indifferently, holding a lantern and went into the warehouse to search alone.
After searching for about a stick of incense, she walked out of the warehouse holding a white dagger only as long as a child's arm.
Bai Xi looked up and couldn't help but said in surprise, "Ah! There really is such a white iron sword! But it's rusted like this, what does the prince want it to do?"
"I don't know either. Ah! I'm just curious about this thing now. It's rusted like this, and it looks like it's been stored in our warehouse for a long time. Even we don't know it exists in the Yushi Mansion. How could the prince know that he has been staying in Kyoto for many years? " Yanli said doubtfully while holding the white iron sword in his hand. "Yes! Is this some kind of big treasure?" Bai Xi said in surprise.
After saying that, she quickly reached out and snatched the white iron sword from her daughter's hand, turning it over in her eyes and looking at it carefully.
But after looking at it for a long time, she discovered that it was just a rusty white iron sword. There was nothing strange about it at all, nor did it look like some great treasure.
In the end, she could only return it to Yanli with a disappointed look on her face, and said helplessly, "Forget it, if he likes it, just take it back to Kyoto and give it to him. It's not a valuable treasure anyway, so take a little of it." It’s useless.”
“Let’s go, mother! It’s too dirty to stay here anymore,” Yanli said, putting away the white iron sword.
Then the mother and daughter left the warehouse together and walked outside.
But what they didn’t expect was that not long after they walked out, a maid quickly ran over and said, "Madam, Miss, I have found you. The master is back. Now He seems to have lost his soul in the study. I don’t know what happened to him, so I asked you to come to see him.”
“Okay, I understand, we will go there right away.” "Bai Xi waved his hand and said.
The maid calmed down and followed them silently to the study.
After the mother and daughter came to the study, they found that the facts were just as the maid said. At this time, Yan Xishan seemed to have lost his soul, like a walking corpse, with an extremely desperate expression. sitting at the desk.
The two of them walked up to him. Bai Xi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him and said, "What's wrong with you? Who took your soul away?"
Next Seconds later, Yan Xishan suddenly stood up like crazy, raised his big hand, aimed at Yan Li's face, and slapped her hard.
“Pa!”
A loud slap sounded immediately in the study.
"Ah..."
Yan Li screamed, and was hit by her father on the spot. She tilted her body and hit the ground. Soon, blood overflowed from the corner of her cracked lip. , she gritted her teeth in pain and did not say anything, her face was still confused.
Bai Xi quickly leaned down, helped his daughter up from the ground, glared at Yan Xishan and cursed, "Are you crazy? Why are you beating your daughter so well?"
"You have been there since you were a child. Just spoil her and she will be ruined in your hands. Do you know that she cheated at the poetry meeting and the lord and the old academician have already found out?" Yan Xishan roared with red eyes.
Bai Xi stayed where he was, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears.
Yan Li was originally extremely aggrieved, but when she heard her father's words, she reached out to cover half of her face, feeling extremely guilty in an instant.
Bai Xi looked at her daughter and cried, "Tell you, is what your dad said true?"
"Mom...I...I don't know what dad is talking about. Something." Yanli said intermittently.
"You are still pretending to me, do you know that in the next five competitions, the five test questions that were secretly changed were manipulated by the lord and the old academician to make the test questions have the wrong meaning. All participating in the poetry meeting Many people answered the wrong questions in their answers "Yes, it's just you. When you answered the questions, you didn't even look at the test questions carefully, and just copied the answers that others had written for you intact. You are simply an idiot!" Yan Xishan raised his finger and pointed at Yan! Li, he cursed loudly.
Yanli's body trembled and she froze in place. Only then did she realize that she had fallen into Gu Chan's trick!
