After a night of confusion and panic, Xiahou Ting'an dressed up in disguise and went outside to inquire about the situation early the next morning.
No news came out from Xiahou Mansion, everything was calm as usual.
But this did not make Xiahou Ting feel much at ease.
In this case, either Xia Hourong has not discovered the abnormality yet, or he has discovered it but suppressed it.
Unless Xia Hourong was crazy, he would let outsiders know that the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill was in his house and was even lost!
After wandering around the outside of Xiahou Mansion for two times, Xiahou Ting'an didn't find anything wrong, so he left uneasily.
What he didn't know was that Xia Hourong was indeed full of worries at this time, but it was not for Jiuxiao Huiyuan Dan, but for the mysterious man who escaped the night before.
Xia Hourong was afraid that what he said would be heard by the other party, and he felt filled with regret.
But there is no use regretting now.
The opponent was not weak. He chased for a long time, but was finally thrown away by that person.
Nowadays, not to mention that he dare not speak out, even if he dares to look for someone everywhere in Xiling City, he doesn't even know what the person looks like!
Xia Hourong did not dare to tell anyone about this.
After unsuccessfully pursuing the person, he was filled with worry, so he didn't notice that someone had looked through the study room.
And the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill that he had been thinking about was no longer in the house at this time!
Everything in Xiling City was quiet, and because the wedding of the third princess and Jiang Yucheng was only about a month away, all the ministries began to get busy.
Royal weddings naturally have different specifications.
Especially the wedding day of the third princess is also the time of registration, so it is of course even more grand.
In the palace, Huayang Hall.
After a period of recovery, Shangguan Wan's body recovered a lot.
But the injury on her face still didn't get better at all.
She doesn't need to look in the mirror, she just needs to touch it casually every day to know what her face looks like now!
Because of this, although the wedding day was getting closer, her mood became worse and worse.
Just as Shangguan Wan was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door.
Tuk Tuk!
"Your Highness, Mr. Zuo is here."
This is Chanyi's voice.
Shangguan Wan bit her lip and covered her face with a veil.
"Please come in, Mr. Zuo."
With a creak, the door opened.
Zuo Mingxi walked in.
He bowed respectfully and stepped forward a few steps to salute:
"Wei Chen has met Her Royal Highness the Third Princess."
Chanyi closed the door gently and waited outside.
Shangguan said politely:
"Master Zuo, please get up."
Zuo Mingxi then stood up, but his eyes were still slightly lowered to show respect.
Shangguan Wan gritted his teeth and said:
"There is only more than a month left before the wedding. Master Zuo hasn't figured out a way to help me solve this problem on my face?"
Zuo Mingxi said quickly:
"Your Highness, Wei Chen came here today for this very reason. Yesterday Wei Chen accidentally saw a method in an ancient book, which may be useful to you."
"Seriously? Come on, tell me!"
Shangguan Wan's eyes lit up and she immediately urged him to speak quickly.
"According to the ancient book, the wound on your face was caused by the scratching of the mythical beast. Because there is still some power of the mythical beast remaining, the wound will recur and never heal. If the blood of the mythical beast can be taken and blended into medicinal materials, Applying it on the wound can be regarded as fighting poison with poison, and it will be completely removed. In this way, the wound will recover soon!"
Shangguan Wan's expression gradually dimmed, and her brows furrowed even more after hearing this.
"You want the blood of a mythical beast?"
At this time, where can she get the blood of the mythical beast
The only red-tailed red phoenix I had ever seen died in the Phantom Mist Forest together with Chu Liuyue!
It is even more difficult to meet one now!
Zuo Mingxi also looked embarrassed.
"Please forgive me for my incompetence. I have only come up with this method at the moment."
In fact, it's pretty good to get along with each other.
After all, he had never seen a mythical beast, and he had no idea how Shangguan Wan was injured.
These days, he cried and meditated, and read countless medical books before he found this method!
Apart from that, there was really nothing he could do.
Shangguan Wan also knew that this kind of thing would be difficult for anyone.
But she absolutely can't meet people with such a face!
At this moment, Chanyi's voice came from outside the door again.
"Your Highness, the Minister of Rites, Mr. Yuwen, has arrived."
Shangguan Wan frowned even more tightly.
Yu Wenwei
He is the Minister of Etiquette, and he must be here for some wedding matters.
She waved at Zuo Mingxi.
"Please step back first. You and the other two will take care of your father's side carefully. Don't make any noise about the affairs of this palace."
Zuo Mingxi hurriedly said: "Yes. Weichen will retire."
After saying that, he bent over and took a few steps back, opened the door and walked out.
He happened to bump into Yu Wenwei who was waiting outside.
The two greeted each other without saying much.
Shangguan Wan quickly took out a human skin mask and covered his face.
This layer was as thin as a cicada's wings, but once it fit on her face, it immediately covered all her scars.
At first glance, she looked exactly the same as before when she was not injured.
In fact, she recently ordered someone to spend a lot of effort to make this human skin mask.
Some time ago, she had been staying in Huayang Palace and not coming out to meet people, which had caused a lot of discussion.
She didn't dare to stay like this, so she could only use this method to deal with it reluctantly.
In fact, during this time, she had begun to meet some people one after another, all wearing this mask.
Yu Wenwei walked in.
This is a middle-aged man about forty years old.
He is tall and burly, with a long beard on his face. He looks elegant. It is not difficult to tell that he was extremely handsome when he was young.
The Yuwen family is considered one of the top dignitaries in Xiling, but they always keep a very low profile on weekdays.
Seriously speaking, their heritage is even longer than that of Jiang Mansion, Xiahou Mansion and so on.
Because the ancestors of the Yuwen family followed Taizu to conquer the world.
At that time, there were more than tens of millions of people who followed Taizu. In the end, they were rewarded based on their merits, and many princes, generals and ministers were granted titles.
However, thousands of years have passed, and now Yuwen's family is the only one that still exists safely.
The family motto of the Yuwen family is to be loyal to the Tianling Dynasty and to be humble and low-key.
Therefore, although they are not the most prosperous family in the Tianling Dynasty, nor the most powerful family, they are the longest-lived and most stable existence.
Yu Wenwei, on the other hand, was also indifferent to fame and fortune. He only took on the identity of Minister of Rites and never participated in royal disputes.
Because of this, Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng never thought of dealing with the Yuwen family.
Yu Wenwei saluted and said straight to the point:
"Your Highness, I am here today to discuss some matters related to the wedding. I would like to ask for your opinion."
Shangguan Wan smiled.
"Master Yuwen, please speak."
Yu Wenwei paused, his expression a little subtle.
"Your Highness, that's it. Do you think the wedding etiquette should be the same as that of the Emperor Ji?"
