Chapter 388 Why do you look like a sick person?
Chen Yunzhi looked up at the void and recalled carefully.
"Shangguan Hong... Oh, I remember now!"
Chen Yunzhi stood up suddenly.
Qin Min'an was shocked. "What's the matter, wife? Who is this Shangguan Hong?"
Chen Yunzhi leaned close to Qin Min'an's ear and whispered a few words.
Qin Min'an raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this:
"Is this Shangguan Hong that Shangguan Hong? If he is really that person, why did he come to see me?"
"Why do you care about him? You'll know if he's the person I told you about after you meet him."
"That's right." Qin Min'an nodded and instructed the doorman:
"Invite people in."
"Yes."
The concierge withdrew respectfully.
Qin Min'an took Chen Yunzhi back to his yard to change clothes.
If this Shangguan Hong is really that person, given his status, they still have to be polite.
After the couple had packed up and arrived at the living room, they heard a cough from afar.
When I entered the reception room, I saw a young man in his twenties sitting on a chair.
He was coughing with his head down and his hands covering his lips. The two young men serving beside him looked at him with distressed expressions.
One of the young men picked up the tea served by the palace servant and said:
"Clear water, my young master wants to drink clear water, change it."
The servant quickly took the teacup and changed it for clean water.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."
The servant's voice drew the attention of the man who was coughing in the hall to the couple standing at the door.
He quickly stood up, trying hard to suppress his cough and bowed to the couple:
"I have long heard of the great names of the Crown Prince Qin and the Crown Princess. I am sorry to bother you today."
The moment the man stood up and looked at the couple, they could see the man's full appearance.
What a beautiful face that is hard to tell whether it is male or female.
If this happened in the previous life, he would have killed all the young handsome guys in seconds.
Chen Yunzhi's eyes lit up.
Qin Min'an saw his wife's crazy look from the corner of his eye and cleared his throat:
"Ahem, wife, pay attention to your image."
Chen Yunzhi glanced at Qin Min'an and muttered quietly, "Old jealous guy."
Qin Min'an had already walked up to the man and was looking at him carefully.
"Are you Shangguan Hong?"
The man nodded: "That's me."
"The Emperor of Xiqi is also called Shangguan Hong. Are you the Emperor of Xiqi?"
The Xiqi royal family has always been very mysterious, and few things about them are spread outside.
The outside world knows very little about the Western Qi royal family.
Shangguan Hong smiled. Since he dared to send a visiting card with his real name, he did not think of concealing his identity.
The test in the teahouse this morning had already angered the young master and young lady of the Qin family.
Shangguan Hong didn't want to anger Prince Qin and his wife by concealing his identity.
He admitted it openly, revealing the aura of a superior:
"Yes, I am Shangguan Hong, the Emperor of Xiqi."
If you ignore his pale face and thin body, his sudden change in aura just now really makes him look like an emperor.
When Qin Min'an heard him admit it, he didn't show much respect or flattery on his face, but continued to ask:
"How do you prove your identity?"
Ruoyuan felt indignant when he saw Qin Min'an's suspicion of his emperor.
But thinking of the emperor's instructions before he came, he had to suppress his resentment.
I kept repeating to myself that they were here to ask for favors, they were here to ask for favors.
Shangguan Hong was not annoyed when he heard Qin Min'an questioning his identity.
He spread out his palms, and Ruoyuan beside him quickly opened the wooden box in his arms and took out something wrapped in yellow cloth.
Shangguan Hong stuffed the thing wrapped in yellow cloth directly into Qin Min'an's hands:
"The imperial seal of Xiqi. If you doubt my identity, you can open it and have a look."
Qin Min'an's hand holding the thing trembled.
A national jade seal?
Which emperor would carry the imperial seal with him when he goes out? No, when he goes abroad, he would carry the imperial seal with him.
Chen Yunzhi, who was standing by, opened the yellow cloth and saw a palm-sized jade seal wrapped inside.
When the couple saw the two words "Xi Qi" on the jade seal, they looked at each other in surprise. It was indeed the jade seal of Xi Qi.
"Prince, Princess, you no longer doubt my identity, right?"
Shangguan Hong asked with a smile.
Qin Min'an wrapped the things in his hand and returned them to Ruoyuan, then bowed to Shangguan Hong:
"I was very disrespectful just now, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"It's okay," Shangguan Hong waved his hand nonchalantly.
"This time I came to Dayue quietly in advance and did not reveal my identity to outsiders. It is normal for the prince to doubt my identity."
Seeing that the other party did not have the airs of an emperor at all, Qin Min'an had a good first impression of Shangguan Hong.
However, thinking of Jingnian's previous suspicion of Xiqi, he became more vigilant.
He made a gesture of invitation:
"Your Majesty, please take a seat. Let's sit down and talk about what we have to say."
Ruoyuan and Feiyun quickly helped Shangguan Hong sit down, one on each side.
This action caused Shangguan Hong to cough again.
Qin Min'an was shocked when he saw this. Why did the Emperor of Xiqi look like a sickly person?
Could such a sickly person really be the one who provoked the chaos among the Three Kingdoms?
Qin Min'an remained skeptical and secretly wondered the purpose of this person's visit.
Just at this moment, a servant from the palace came in with a glass of water.
Feiyun quickly stepped forward, took the water and handed it to Shangguan Hong, urging him softly:
"Clear water, sir, drink it, and you will stop coughing."
Ruoyuan reached out to take the teacup, and then habitually poured some water into the empty cup next to him.
Just as he was about to use a silver needle to test the poison as usual, Shangguan Hong hurriedly stopped him.
“Ruo Yuan, there is no need to be so cautious in Prince Ding’s mansion.”
Ruo Yuan was used to doing these things in the palace.
It was just a subconscious action just now.
He realized that his previous action might displease the Crown Prince Qin and the Crown Princess, thus affecting the purpose of his emperor asking someone to do something for him.
He quickly withdrew his hand awkwardly: "It's the Emperor."
Qin Min'an and Chen Yunzhi looked at each other. The spy with the loud voice actually belonged to a eunuch.
Ruoyuan has delicate features and dresses like a normal man.
His behavior was not as shy as other eunuchs, with their waists twisted and fingers raised. If he didn't speak, you would think he was just a normal boy.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, one could still tell he was a eunuch.
The two were not displeased by Ruo Yuan's poison testing just now. As an emperor, it was normal for him to be cautious.
After taking a few sips of water, Shangguan Hong, who had been coughing incessantly, finally stopped coughing.
And...Shangguan Hong touched his chest.
Was it his illusion? How come after drinking this water, the discomfort in his chest was much better?
Drinking water after a cough will usually stop the cough, but frequent coughing will cause chest discomfort.
But after drinking the water just now, the pain in his chest was gone, and Shangguan Hong even had the illusion that he was feeling better.
As if to verify something, Shangguan Hong picked up the teacup and drank a few more sips of the water in it.
Suddenly, a cool and comfortable feeling spread throughout the body.
It wasn't his illusion, the water was really special.
After the last drought, the remaining water in the well in the front yard was all spiritual energy-rich water released from the space.
Thinking that it was just family drinking, Qin Wan didn't care.
The servants in the front yard of the palace usually use water drawn from that well.
The same goes for the glass of water I just served to Shangguan Hong.
Qin Min'an and Chen Yunzhi sat opposite Shangguan Hong, watching the Emperor of Xiqi drinking water sip after sip.
