After Hei Xuanyi hugged Wu Ruo and left the fairy tree, he sat on the monster prepared by the ghost clan to inspect the field.
On this day, Wu Ruo realized how busy Hei Xuanyi was as the prince and how heavy the responsibilities were. In the afternoon, in addition to inspecting the fields and planting, I will also go to the big medical center to check the conditions of the children suffering from Yang deficiency syndrome. Finally, I will listen to reports from officials from various places and discuss how to solve various difficult issues.
When it was Xu time, Hei Xuanyi could finally sit down and take a breath, eat the food brought by Wu Ruo, and then began to help the emperor review the memorials. You have to get up early, and after that, you have to be busy with other things.
Wu Ruo lived in the palace for half a month, watching Hei Xuanyi go out early and return at night almost every day, and sometimes Wu Ruo felt very distressed when she couldn't sleep for three hours a day. But he couldn't help him solve the problem, so he could only develop a potion to cure the deficiency of yang as soon as possible to solve his big trouble.
Just as he was discussing with the imperial doctor Yao how to heal Hei Xuanzhao, Hei Xuantang sent someone to report that Wu Qianqing was injured. He was so frightened that he quickly put down the medicinal materials in his hand, and hurriedly sat down on the beast When the car came to Hei Xuantang's palace, he was relieved to see that Wu Qianqing had only broken an arm.
Wu Ruo quickly asked, "Father, why are you injured?"
Wu Qianqing was stunned when she saw Wu Ruo, and she lowered her face: "Didn't I tell you not to tell Xiao Ruo about my injury?"
Wu Ruo frowned, not understanding why Wu Qianqing wanted to hide his injury from him.
Wu Zhu and Wu Xi did not speak.
"If you don't say it now, he will know sooner or later. Okay, you haven't slept all night, so hurry up and have a rest." Guan Tong took Wu Qianqing back to bed and lay down with a rare and tough attitude.
Before Wu Qianqing closed his eyes, he gave Wu Zhu and Wu Xi a warning, as if telling them not to talk nonsense.
Wu Ruo winked at Wu Zhu and the others, and left them to talk to herself.
Walking out of the room, he immediately lowered his voice and asked in a deep voice, "How did dad get hurt? Who hurt him?"
U Xi pursed her lips tightly, shaking her head desperately to express her ignorance.
Wuzhu looked embarrassed: "Xiao Ruo, don't ask."
"If you don't tell me, I will only be more anxious."
"This… "
"Let me talk about it." Guan Tong came out from the back and walked in front of Wu Ruo: "Your father will be noisy here, let's go to the side hall to talk."
When the four of them came to the side hall, Guan Tong sat down and sighed softly, and said to Wu Ruo, "You know we were in a hurry when we left the imperial capital. It was actually not a big deal to use it in the Necromancer Kingdom. We have food and shelter here, and usually don’t spend much money. However, after discussing the marriage with the Emperor and the others, things are different. Your father thinks You will be a princess in the future. When you marry, you must not be shabby, and you don’t even have a decent dowry gift. Life was difficult, so I went out to pick up tasks to earn money.
Wu Ruo was surprised and distressed, and even more sad: "Dad was injured because of the mission?"
Guan Tong nodded.
Wu Ruo asked, "Mother, didn't you tell Dad that I brought all your belongings to the Necromancer Kingdom? Moreover, you also gave me a dowry before, so you don't need to prepare these things at all."
"I told him about this matter, but it is far from enough compared to the dowry gift given by the emperor. Although we don't want to compare with the royal family who gave the most, at least we have to win the stage. What's more..." Guan Tong looked at Wu Wu Zhu: "Xiaozhu should also start a family and start a business, and the dowry must not be less than Xiaoruo's."
They are all her children, of course they should be treated equally.
Wu Ruo: "..."
Wuzhu was speechless: "Mother, I'm not in a hurry."
"You are not in a hurry, someone is in a hurry." Guan Tong said distressedly, "You'er is a girl who has followed us from Tianxing Kingdom to Death Soul Kingdom. Don't you want to be responsible for her?"
Wuzhu: "..."
Wu Xi bit her lower lip tightly and almost laughed out loud.
Guan Tong frowned lightly: "It's all my fault for being useless, if..."
At this point, she paused and sighed.
Wu Ruo took the opportunity to ask: "Mother, I am now a ninth-level magician, can I unblock you?"
Guan Tong looked at him: "You have just been promoted to the ninth level, and your ability is insufficient. You still need to expand the spiritual field to store more spiritual power."
Wu Ruo: "..."
In this way, he has no way to unblock, and moreover, he needs more spiritual power to expand himself.
"Mom, I'll figure out my own dowry, and I'll let myself marry in a good way.
Wuzhu hurriedly said, "Me too."
Guan Tong stood up: "I told you these things, just to tell you the reason for your father's injury, not the dowry for you to solve by yourself. Besides, these things should have been prepared by the elders, well, you go down. "
Seeing that Guan Tong didn't want to say any more, Wu Zhu and the others turned around and walked out of the side hall.
Wu Ruo frowned and said, "I really never thought that getting married would bring so much pressure on my parents."
Wuzhu patted him on the shoulder and joked, "No way, the one who asked you to marry is the prince."
Wu Ruo raised her eyebrows: "Yes, who told you to marry a demon princess in the future? If you don't plan to give me the same dowry, how can you say it."
Wuzhu language is blocked.
"Haha." Wu Xi laughed bluntly.
"You can still laugh." Wu Xi gave her an angry look: "Recently, you have been persuading our parents more, don't worry about the dowry, I will take care of it."
"Okay, I'll try my best, but my father and mother may not listen to me." Wu Xi didn't want his father to get hurt again.
Wu Ruo saw that Youye and the others lived in a dark room, and asked, "Where did sister-in-law go?"
Wu Xi said: "When they came to the Necromancer Kingdom, they didn't bring much money with them, so they went to earn money early this morning, and they will come back in about two days."
Wu Ruo smiled narrowly: "It turns out that sister-in-law is preparing a dowry for herself just like me."
Wuzhu rolled his eyes and didn't talk.
Wu Xi said: "Second brother, it's getting late, you can stay here tonight."
"Yeah." Wu Ruo nodded: "Brother, I'll just stay in your room."
"it is good."
The three returned to the room respectively, and Wu Ruo asked, "Has the hag been making trouble recently?"
While unbuttoning her robe, Wu Zhu said: "She is very peaceful every day, except for sleeping time, she sticks to her mother almost all the time.
Wu Ruo was surprised: "She likes mother so much?"
"probably."
"Has anyone peeped at my mother's bath recently appeared?"
"No."
As soon as Wu Zhu finished speaking, he heard someone shouting outside: "Catch the thief."
This time, Wu Ruo reacted quickly and jumped out of the window, using secret techniques, hiding under the shadows, and saw a black shadow passing by quickly.
Wu Ruo hurriedly followed, trailing behind that person all the way.
He found that this person was very familiar with the environment here, knowing where there were patrolling guards, where the female spirit soldiers were hidden, or where there were blind spots that people couldn't see. After turning a few turns, the other party easily escaped the pursuit of the guards in the yard, got into one of the rooms and closed the door.
Wu Ruo was startled, isn't this the hag's room
Worried that the other party would harm the hag, he quickly pushed the door open and saw the hag take off her black cloak.
The hag was shocked and looked at Wu Ruo who walked in in a panic.
Wu Ruo frowned: "Hitch, you..."
He stared intently at the black cloak in her hand.
The hag hurriedly stuffed the cloak under the bed.
Wu Ruo: "..."
At this time, the female spirit soldier and the guards ran over, saw that the people in the room were Wu Ruo and the hag, and quickly saluted: "I have seen the princess."
Wu Ruo signaled them to get up, and pretended to ask: "Is there something wrong?"
The female spirit soldier explained: "Just now we saw someone peeking at the old lady changing her clothes."
Wu Ruo glanced at the nervous hag: "Can you see who is peeping at my mother?"
"No."
Wu Ruo nodded: "You keep looking."
"Yes."
As soon as they left, Wu Ruo closed the door: "Ghost, is it you? You are the one who peeked at my mother changing clothes, right?"
The last time a voyeur was able to escape You Ye's eyes so quickly, it should be that she hid in the room in the shortest time. Moreover, no one would have imagined that a woman would peek at another woman taking a bath.
The hag lowered her head and rubbed the dress in her hands.
Wu Ruo asked in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Grandmother, I know you don't have any malicious intentions, but can you tell me why you peeked at my mother taking a shower and changing her robe?"
The hag remained silent.
Wu Ruo took a deep breath: "If you don't tell me, I can only send you away from here.
Upon hearing this, the hag suddenly raised her head and shouted excitedly: "Ahh..."
"If you don't want to leave here, then tell the truth." This time, Wu Ruo didn't intend to comfort her, and waited for her to calm down before saying, "I know you can't speak, but you can write it. Miss Jia, it is impossible to be illiterate. Also, stop pretending to be crazy, I know you are very clear-headed. "
The hag looked at him in amazement, shed tears, and looked very sad.
Wu Ruo is a little soft-hearted, but he can't leave any danger by his parents' side.
He ordered someone to find a pen and paper and put it on the table in front of the hag: "If you want to stay, write it down."
The ghost woman cried for a long time before she tremblingly picked up the writing brush. Perhaps it was because she hadn't held a brush for many years. Her posture for holding the brush was a bit incorrect, and then she wrote the word yes crookedly.
Wu Ruo was puzzled: "Yes? What is it? You were the one who peeped at my mother's bath last time?"
The hag nodded and wrote again that it was me.
"Why? Why did you peek at my mother taking a shower?"
The hag slowly wrote on the paper: "She looks like my lost niece."
"Niece?" Wu Ruo was even more puzzled: "Isn't the son you lost? By the way, Qu Panyang should be your elder brother's son, right? It should also be a nephew, not a niece."
The hag lowered her eyelids and wrote, "It's my niece..."
Wu Ruo was sweating, how could she be a niece? Don't even Qu Yirun and Su Baishuang know whether they are giving birth to a boy or a girl
Forget it, whether it's a man or a woman is none of his business.
"So what if my mother looks like your niece? What does this have to do with you peeking at her bathing?"
The hag continued: "I want to see if she has a birthmark."
really? Wu Ruo was a little suspicious.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, the hag hurriedly wrote: "Can you ask her for me?"
"My mother can't be your niece."
The hag wrote again: "How do you know it's not?"
"My mother has a father, how could it be your niece?"
The hag asked, "Who is her father?"
Wu Ruo was stumped by this question.
The hag looked at him anxiously.
Wu Ruo frowned: "My mother only said that she has a father, but she didn't say who her father is. In short, my mother's father is not in the Necromancer Kingdom."
"You don't know your grandfather?"
"Yes." Wu Ruo waved her hand: "My mother is definitely not your niece, when your niece was separated, my mother was always by our side.
"My niece was separated forty-five years ago.
Wu Ruo frowned a little more, his mother seemed to be forty-five years old this year, but his mother couldn't be the hag's niece, otherwise how could he inherit the secret art of the hermit clan.
"The niece you're talking about isn't Qu Panyang?"
"no."
"There are so many people lost in your Qu family.
"..." Po hurriedly wrote on the paper: "You just need to ask me if your mother has a birthmark, then I can give up my heart.
Wu Ruo's probing eyes swept over the hag's face, trying to confirm whether what she said was true or not.
The hag knew what he was worried about, and wrote: "I swear, I will never do anything to hurt your family."
Wu Ruo really believed her words, if the hag really wanted to take his family's life, people from their Wu family would have died countless times.
He asked, "How high is your spiritual rank?"
The hag quickly wrote: "Ninth level."
"Ninth-order magician still being bullied?"
The hag didn't explain.
Wu Ruo understood her feeling of wanting to find relatives, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let me ask for you, where is your niece's birthmark?"
"On the back."
Wu Ruo thought that Guan Tong should not be sleeping, so she turned and walked out of the room.
The hag hurried to follow.
The two came to Guan Tong's room, saw Guan Tong's door was open, and Wu Zhu and Wu Xi were inside, so they walked in: "Mother."
Wuzhu quickly asked: "Xiao Ruo, have you caught that thief?"
Wu Ruo glanced at the hag: "I'm here to talk about this."
"Have you caught that person? Who is it? Who is peeking at Mother over and over again?" Wuzhu said angrily.
Wu Xi whispered: "Brother, keep your voice down, Dad is sleeping inside."
Wu Ruo said directly: "The peeking mother bathing and peeping mother changing clothes are all made by ghosts."
Everyone was taken aback, and looked at the hag foolishly.
Wu Xi stared at the old woman standing beside Wu Ruo with wide eyes in disbelief: "Haunt?"
Guan Tong was surprised: "Why did the ghost watch me take a bath?"
Wu Ruo said: "She thinks that mother may be his long-lost niece."
Guan Tong was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "Grandmother, I can't be your niece."
The hag immediately shouted excitedly.
Wu Ruo said: "Mother, she just wants to know if you have a birthmark on your back, so that she can give up."
