Faced with Sikong Langtuo's rebuke, Jiang Quhan didn't take it seriously.

He picked up the wine glass and smiled casually: "I went to Dongji Island to get this night pearl. What? I can give it to whoever I want to give it to. If I don't want to give it to someone, I have to return it even if I dig three feet into the ground." This king!"

"you……!"

As soon as these words came out, Sikong Langtuo was immediately angered.

He pointed at Jiang Quhan, but he was so angry that he didn't know how to retort.

Everyone took a breath of cold air and sighed at King Yu Qian's unscrupulous words and how he dared not to take the emperor of Qianye Kingdom into their eyes.

Mongenna grabbed the emotional Sikong Langtuo and persuaded him in a low voice: "Sixth Prince, Your Majesty has stopped pursuing this matter long ago. Please stop irritating King Qian. We have not accomplished anything important. If we offend him, everything will be ruined." Irreversible.”

Sikong Langtuo gritted his teeth and shook his hand and gave up, saying unconvinced: "Sikong Xu, since you and the third lady have become sworn brothers and sisters, then her marriage to me will be regarded as a close relationship. Why not ask His Majesty Yao Emperor to agree to give her to me? It will also create a good story between the two countries!"

Huo Yunhong, who was at the head of the table, hurriedly took over the words: "Father, I think that what the Sixth Prince wants can not only promote the friendship between our two countries, but also complete the "brother and sister" relationship between King Qian and the Third Miss. If the Third Miss gets married, In Qianye Kingdom, it must be a happy thing for everyone to have King Qian take care of her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Quhan, Su Yanqi and Gu Liaohe cursed in unison: "Bitch man!"

The surrounding officials were stunned.

Jiang Quhan's face was full of anger, and he stood up angrily: "I...!"

"Reserved!" Su Yanqi and Gu Liaohe quickly grabbed him.

Jiang Quhan suppressed his temper and said "Oh" and sat down again.

He glanced at Ning Ziqing opposite him and scolded him in a cold voice: "Today is the birthday of His Majesty Emperor Yao. Isn't it inappropriate for you to talk about the marriage of my sworn sister here?"

His words made Emperor Yao's eyes darken, and he looked at Huo Yunhong and Sikong Langtuo thoughtfully.

Huo Yunjue's lips curved up sarcastically when he returned to his seat. He had already guessed that someone secretly worked with Sikong Langtuo to stage all of this.

From forcing Ning Ziqing to perform a dance, to Sikong Langtuo asking for a marriage.

The purpose is to marry Ning Ziqing to Qianye Country.

Huo Yunjue glanced coldly at Ning Zilan and County Chief Jiarou on the ladies' table, with a stern look in his eyes that was chilling.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Yao tapped the table a few times with a serious face, and said indifferently: "This matter ends here, tonight is just for enjoyment, you don't need to mention it again!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Emperor Yao!" Jiang Quhan curled his lips in satisfaction and raised his eyebrows to demonstrate to Sikong Langtuo.

Sikong Langtuo snorted disdainfully and sat down to drink.

In this way, Huo Yunjue and the others were finally relieved.

"Jiang Quhan, I want to thank you very much on behalf of Third Miss." Su Yanqi poured a glass of wine to toast Jiang Quhan.

Jiang Quhan smiled and said proudly: "I can defeat several of you by myself. Since you can't protect Ning Manman, you might as well let me take her back to Qianye Country."

After saying that, he drank a glass of wine by himself without clinking glasses with Su Yanqi.

Su Yanqi was speechless, and took back his hand with a sigh, looking at Ning Ziqing with a heavy gaze.

The unwillingness and frustration in his heart made him restless.

Why didn't he want to protect Ning Ziqing? He even wanted to take her away from here.

It's just that Ning Ziqing doesn't want to accept him...

After this commotion, the banquet was no longer as lively as before.

Ning Ziqing put away the night pearl given to her by Jiang Quhan and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Wanqiao and Cao Yanyan talked and joked with her while comforting her emotions.

Not long after, the maid next to Lord Jiarou quietly came behind Ning Zilan and whispered a few words.

After the maid retreated, Ning Zilan hesitantly raised her eyes to look at the Lord of Jiarou County, and saw her smiling at Ning Zilan.

Ning Zilan looked back knowingly, calmed down, drank a glass of wine in one gulp, and suddenly said to Ning Ziqing with concern: "Sister, I see that you have drunk a lot of wine, but you can't continue drinking. Have you forgotten that Doctor Zhang told you to take good care of your body?"

Ning Ziqing was slightly taken aback by her sudden concern, and replied coldly: "Don't worry about me, sister, my body is fine."

Ning Zilan pretended to be surprised and raised her voice: "How could sister recover so quickly? Didn't Dr. Zhang tell you about your physical condition?"

Her voice instantly attracted the attention of many people.

Ning Ziqing was surprised and stared at Ning Zilan suspiciously. Before she could speak, Ning Zilan said first, "Doctor Zhang said that sister, you have a cold constitution. If you don't take care of it properly, you may have difficulty in having children in the future!"

"what?"

"Is the third lady in such bad health?"

The ladies at the banquet were immediately shocked and all looked at Ning Ziqing sympathetically.

Ning Zi's green eyes were startled, and she refuted: "Doctor Zhang never told me that I have such a disease. I wonder where did my sister hear such fallacy?"

Cao Yanyan also questioned Ning Zilan: "When I went to visit Miss Third, I met Mr. Qi Lang. He checked Miss Third's pulse and there was nothing like what you said. Stop talking nonsense here!"

Seeing that they were angry, Ning Zilan explained to the two of them with an aggrieved look: "This is indeed what Dr. Zhang told my mother personally. I thought you, sister, also knew it."

As she said this, she quickly stood up and crossed over Cao Yanyan to apologize to Ning Ziqing.

"It's my fault. I said something I shouldn't have said and made my sister and Miss Cao angry. I already know that I was wrong. Sister, please calm down. You are not in good health. If you are angry again, Zilan will feel even more guilty. .”

Her tone was sincere, her face was anxious, and she showed great concern for Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing looked at Ning Zilan with disgust, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.

Ning Zilan reached out to hold Ning Ziqing's hand, but Ning Ziqing cleverly avoided her.

Ning Zilan stumbled, fell to the ground, and let out a muffled groan.

"Sister...just forgive Zilan. Zilan really didn't mean to say it."

Ning Zilan sobbed with tears in her eyes.

Ning Ziqing frowned and was about to accuse her of falling down on purpose.

The ladies of the official family who didn't know the truth around her helped: "Miss Third, your sister is kindly reminding you because she is worried about your health. Why do you have to be so difficult with her?"

"Yes, although the Fourth Miss accidentally revealed that you have a hidden illness, it was all for your own good, and caring about it would lead to chaos. You are so unkind to the Fourth Miss!"

……

Facing the accusations around her, Ning Ziqing looked calm. She knew that Ning Zilan was trying to frame her again.

So, he sarcastically mocked Ning Zilan: "Since you want to admit your mistake, kneel down better, otherwise how can you show your sincerity!"

Ning Zilan's face changed slightly, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and pretended to be scared and said: "As long as sister can forgive me, I will obey her."

She knelt straight and apologized again with red eyes and a trembling voice: "My sister made a mistake and let something slip. Please forgive Zi Lan!"

Ning Zilan pursed her lips tightly and cried sadly until her whole body was shaking, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Seeing this, the Lord of Jiarou County asked loudly: "What's wrong with Fourth Miss Ning? You're so good, why are you kneeling down?"

After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Ning Ziqing.

"What happened?" Emperor Yao saw this scene and stepped forward to ask.

Ning Zilan quickly stood up and walked out, knelt on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty, I was concerned about my sister's health and accidentally said something about her hidden illness, which made her angry. I am apologizing to her. I don't want to disturb her. Your Majesty, my daughter deserves to die, please forgive me!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Everyone speculated about what kind of disease Ning Ziqing had.

"What disease does Miss Third have?" someone asked curiously.

Jiang Quhan's eyes suddenly dimmed and he looked at Su Yanqi eagerly.

Su Yanqi looked ashamed, disgusted with Ning Zilan, and asked her coldly: "I don't know where the fourth lady heard the rumor from, slandering your sister?"

Ning Zilan replied without hesitation: "Dr. Zhang, who diagnosed my mother before, accidentally encountered my sister's illness in the house and diagnosed and treated her. He specially asked us to let my sister take good care of her body, otherwise we may not be able to meet her again in the future. Heir!"

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Ning Zijun pointed angrily at Ning Zilan and yelled.

"Be impudent and don't be rude in front of His Majesty!"

Ning Houye was so frightened that he quickly stopped Ning Zijun and scolded Ning Zilan: "Why don't you go back to the banquet quickly? Stop talking nonsense here and anger His Majesty. Your life will be lost!"

Ning Zilan still knelt there unmoved.

After hearing Ning Zilan's words, Huo Yunjue felt his heart tremble and looked at Su Yanqi in the men's seat with an expression of disbelief.

Jiang Quhan's face was cold, his knuckles turning white as he rubbed his fan bones, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Su Yanqi, what's going on?" he asked coldly.

Su Yanqi lowered her eyes and blamed herself: "I was negligent and forgot to give her medicine in advance, so she got sick."

Jiang Qu coldly stared at him and snorted: "I'll settle the score with you later!"

Then he glanced at Ning Ziqing who was opposite him. Ning Ziqing's expression remained unchanged, he met Jiang Quhan's eyes and smiled at him with trust.

Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment. They didn't expect that Ning Ziqing would suffer from such a serious disease, which made her unable to have children. They couldn't help but feel extremely sorry for Ning Ziqing.

However, they heard Ning Ziqing say calmly: "Sister, you should be more careful with your words. Don't let your mouth bring disaster and harm yourself instead!"

Ning Zilan's expression remained unchanged: "Sister, what I tell you is the truth. If you don't believe me, ask your mother."

Mrs. Song hurriedly answered: "Qing'er, Doctor Zhang did mention your illness to me and asked me to take good care of you. You are really wrong about Zilan."

Seeing her caring and distressed expression towards Ning Ziqing, everyone couldn't help but feel that Ning Ziqing should not be angry and harshly criticize Ning Zilan.

Su Yanqi immediately refuted Mrs. Song: "Madam, you only listened to the one-sided words of a doctor and concluded that the third lady's illness is serious?"

Lin Wanqiao couldn't help but interject: "Qi Langjun has great medical skills. He examined the third lady and found nothing wrong with the third lady's body."

Cao Yanyan also echoed: "That's right, Qi Langjun didn't see the problem. Could it be that that doctor's medical skills are better than Qi Lang Jun!"

The two sides started to argue and the situation became stalemate. Song wanted to prove that what he said was true.

At this time, Huo Yunxi suddenly suggested: "Since you are arguing endlessly, you can't tell whether the third lady is ill. It's better to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose the third lady's pulse and the truth will be revealed."

The Lord of Jiarou County immediately took the lead in agreeing to this proposal.

Huo Yunjue's throat tightened, and he stared at Ning Ziqing on the ladies' table with an uneasy expression.

I remembered that Ning Ziqing had said before that Su Yanqi didn't allow her to eat sweets and kept taking medicine.

Could it be that she is really seriously ill?

Emperor Yao was expressionless, already dissatisfied with the troubles Ning Ziqing caused tonight.

He signaled Eunuch Wu to be examined by the imperial doctor, Ning Ziqing. Eunuch Wu bowed his head in agreement but did not speak yet.

Jiang Quhan unfolded his folding fan and stopped coldly: "No need to go to such trouble. I have already diagnosed and treated Third Miss's illness!"
