Chapter 71: What if the Chancellor of the Exchequer is kidnapped?

Xiao Qingze walked out of the inner hall and saw his second brother leaning at the door of the main hall, looking at him with a half-smile.

Xiao Qingze walked up to him and said quietly: "Second brother, why did you let your sister go in alone? Why didn't you go in?"

Xiao Xuanan: "It's enough for you to be scolded by yourself. I won't go in and get scolded. It's not worth it."

Xiao Qingze snorted coldly: "You are really my good second brother."

Xiao Xuanan hugged him and walked out: "Don't be angry, go back to Yunzhou and my second brother will treat you to a drink."

In the queen's bedroom, Wen Jiaojiao was sitting beside the queen's bed. She looked a little pale and her lips were bloodless. She also looked thinner, and she looked like she was still ill.

Seeing the queen's appearance, Wen Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel distressed, and the little fear of her in his heart immediately dissipated.

Wen Jiaojiao covered her with a quilt and said, "Sister, is your illness serious? Jiaojiao is very worried about you."

Xiao Qingyu smiled slightly at Wen Jiaojiao and said: "What's the big deal? I just suffered a little bit of wind and cold. My sister has fought hard on the battlefield. The bodies of the Xiao family are all made of iron. My sister will be fine after a while."

alright."

Qingquan, who was waiting on the side, listened to what the queen said and thought that this was not serious. The queen had vomited blood in the past few days, and her health deteriorated in the following days. She often had nightmares at night. This didn't look good, so she sent a message to

Xiao Mansion and Yunzhou.

A maid brought the medicine to the Queen's bed: "My Lady, it's time to drink the medicine."

Wen Jiaojiao smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. She had drank a lot of medicine, but she felt that the taste of this medicine was too strong and even smelled bitter.

"Let me do it."

Wen Jiaojiao took the medicine from the maid's hand, took a spoonful and blew it into her mouth. She originally wanted to sip it to feel the temperature of the medicine, but her face became distorted with pain.

"so bitter!"

Xiao Qingyu brought the medicine in her hand and said to Qingquan: "Quick, get some candied fruits for Jiao Jiao."

Qingquan quickly took a bowl of candied fruit and handed it to Wen Jiaojiao. Wen Jiaojiao picked up the candied fruit and stuffed a few candied fruits into his mouth, suppressing the bitter taste in his mouth.

Xiao Qingyu looked at her with a smile and gently stroked her long hair.

Wen Jiaojiao watched Xiao Qingyu stirring the bowl with a spoon, looking down at the bowl of medicine. After looking at it for a while, she raised her eyes to look at her again. She didn't know what she thought of, and immediately took the bowl of medicine.

The extremely bitter medicine was poured down in one gulp.

Seeing that the queen was finally taking the medicine, Qingquan and Qingbo, who had just entered the store, breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them looked at each other and it turned out that they had to call themselves Miss Fourth.

The queen will get angry when two young men come, but the queen will become gentle only when the fourth young lady comes.

Wen Jiaojiao picked up a candied fruit and handed it to Xiao Qingyu's lips, "Sister, eat some candied fruit to get rid of the bitter taste in your mouth."

Xiao Qingyu ate the candied fruit in her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not really bitter."

Wen Jiaojiao thought to herself that it was not painful even if it was so painful. If it were her, she wouldn't be able to take a sip.

"Jiaojiao, are you having fun at Yunlu Mountain these days? Have you prayed for yourself?"

Wen Jiaojiao nodded, then tied a cloth bag hanging from his waist, opened the bag and took out a wooden prayer sign and handed it to Xiao Qingyu.

There are bells and red string hanging on the wooden sign, which Wen Jiaojiao specially brought to Xiao Qingyu.

"I also brought a wooden prayer sign for my sister. She can write her wishes on it, but I don't know if this wooden sign will be effective without the blessing tree."

Xiao Qingyu took the wooden prayer sign from Wen Jiaojiao and said happily: "What Jiaojiao gave me must be useful."

As soon as Xiao Qingyu finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bracelet on Wen Jiaojiao's wrist. The bracelet was exquisite and fancy, and the style was what the little girl liked. Wen Jiaojiao had many such jewelry, but the rope of this bracelet was made of a colorful

The rope is braided, and a silver ornament inlaid with precious stones hangs from the end of the rope, falling from the bracelet.

Xiao Qingyu grabbed Wen Jiaojiao's hand and asked: "Jiaojiao, your bracelet is a bit strange. It doesn't look like the craftsmanship of Beiyuan people. Who gave it to you?"

Wen Jiaojiao glanced at her bracelet and remembered that when she was at Yunqing Temple yesterday, Que Wu saw the colorful rope on the bracelet and woven it into the bracelet for her in a few clicks.

The colorful rope was accidentally messed up by Que Wu's braid two days ago, so she re-tied it for him, untied the colorful rope and hanging ornaments from his braid, and then she braided it for him herself.

, the colorful rope was carried back in her arms.

When the girl Feng Xin was arranging her jewelry, she saw that the colorful rope was beautiful and there were exquisite jewelry hanging on it. She thought it was her jewelry, so she knitted a new bracelet for her.

In the end, she didn't pay attention, so she wore it because she thought it looked good. But when Que Wu saw it yesterday, he took it and braided it for her again. She saw that the braid in his hair was tied with the same rope and the ornaments on it.

Then I remembered that she seemed to have removed it from someone's hair.

She immediately wanted to give it back to him, but he said, "If you put it on, it's yours."

If Que Wu didn't want it, she would just wear it.

When Wen Jiaojiao heard the queen's inquiry, he could only say: "A young master from a foreign country gave it to me."

Xiao Qingyu: "Is this foreign young man from Salo?"

Wen Jiaojiao said in surprise: "Sister, how do you know?"

"This bracelet looks like something from Sara."

Xiao Qingyu asked again: "Do you know who he is?"

Wen Jiaojiao explained honestly: "His name is Que Wu, and he is the envoy of Salo who came to the DPRK this time. He saved me at the last lantern festival. This time I met him by chance at Yunqing Temple."

Wen Jiaojiao suddenly remembered that the last time he was at the Salo Mansion, Que Wu had prepared many gifts, saying they were all for the queen, and that Sister Qingyu and he should have known each other.

"Sister, do you know him? He said that he is the finance minister of Salo. Are there very few people in Salo? He was actually asked to be the finance minister as an envoy to Beiyuan."

When Xiao Qingyu heard what Wen Jiaojiao said, he chuckled, "He told you that he is the finance minister of Salo?"

Wen Jiaojiao nodded.

Xiao Qingyu couldn't help laughing, with a smile all over his face. Ah Wu was really the only one who would believe what he said without hesitation.

"Sala's population is not comparable to that of Beiyuan, but it ranks first among the states. All the states combined are not as rich as Sara."

Wen Jiaojiao's eyes widened slightly: "Then they still dare to ask the Minister of Finance to go to Beiyuan as an envoy. What if they are kidnapped by gangsters on the way?"

"Hahahahaha." Xiao Qingyu looked at Wen Jiaojiao's serious look, laughed happily, and pinched Wen Jiaojiao's cheeks with great affection, "We Jiaojiao are so cute."

Wen Jiaojiao: Why did my sister laugh so happily when she heard that the Minister of Finance would be kidnapped?

Xiao Qingyu rubbed the bracelet on Wen Jiaojiao's hand. She did not expect that Jiaojiao and Que Wu would have such a fate.

It seems that the favor Beiyuan owes to Sara is indeed God's will.

But seeing Jiao Jiao's confused look made her a little worried.

[Author's digression]: Jiaojiao: The finance minister will be kidnapped if he runs around outside!

Que Wu: Huh? Who dares to tie me up?
