At the end of the necklace, a dagger embellished with rubies is embedded with a delicate mechanism.
This was a gift given to Su Nianyun by her father when she was pregnant.
The dagger is small, delicate and sharp. It was carefully polished by my father and is very suitable for women to wear.
After receiving the gift, she liked it very much and kept wearing it and never took it off.
Originally, it was just a decorative dagger.
That night when she woke up under the Silver Masked Man, she immediately touched the dagger on the necklace.
After the murder, she was still in the shock of rebirth, so much so that she forgot to take the dagger back when disposing of the body.
Of course, not only did the man not die in the end, but she had to save him.
She guessed that the reason why Xiao Changfeng survived had a lot to do with her not pulling out the dagger.
Otherwise, he would have bled out and died without waiting for his men to find him.
But this is good, it gives her a chance to get back the only relic her father gave her.
When she followed Doctor Shen to Xiao Changfeng's room, she found her own dagger on his ancient shelf at the first sight.
When there were only two people left in the room, while Doctor Shen was not paying attention, she embedded the dagger into the necklace again.
Now Xiao Han found out about Mobei Medicinal Materials Shop out of nowhere, probably because he came here to find the dagger.
If he can't find himself here, he will probably ask Doctor Shen next.
She firmly believed that even if Xiao Han mentioned that the dagger was stolen, Doctor Shen would not believe that she was the one who stole it.
She was the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, and her dowry was twice that of an ordinary princess. With so much wealth, she would steal a dagger from Xiao Changfeng's room?
Moreover, she was not afraid that Doctor Shen would reveal her identity as a princess. Besides she made it clear to him before taking action, Doctor Shen was also aware of his position.
He was ordered to treat Xiao Changfeng's injuries, but he was not Xiao Changfeng's.
Dr. Shen is an old man next to the Queen Mother. What she says and does outside the home must be considered by the Queen Mother.
Xiao Han was waiting for Doctor Shen at the gate of the palace, and he was indeed ready to ask about the little medicine boy.
When the master woke up that night, he and Anu quarreled, and the master called him back again.
The dagger must be kept well, as the master specifically ordered before he pulled out the dagger and lost his final consciousness.
He hurriedly turned around and searched up and down the book shelf, but the dagger was nowhere to be seen.
At first, Xiao Han thought that Anu had taken away the dagger and did not want to admit it.
Because he could see through Anu's thoughts, and Anu knew how to see through his master's thoughts, it was possible for her to interfere with him.
But when he saw the anxiety in Anu's eyes, he was sure that she had not taken the dagger.
Anu will not openly disobey his master's orders.
After searching for many days, there is still no clue.
Xiao Han said to Anu in confusion, "You and I take turns guarding the master's room, and no one is ever leaving the door. How did the thief break in?"
Anu shook his head, "It's possible that it's not an outsider, but an internal one. Doesn't Doctor Shen come here often?"
After Anu reminded him, Xiao Han remembered the figures of Doctor Shen and the little medicine boy getting on the carriage.
He didn't doubt Doctor Shen, but the little medicine boy was suspicious.
However, because he was not very sure, he went to Mobei Medicine Shop alone to investigate.
Unexpectedly, the little medicine boy went back to his hometown to take care of his illness.
When he went to pick up Dr. Shen at the gate of the palace, he wanted to check it out with Dr. Shen, but when he actually met Dr. Shen, he was too embarrassed to ask about it.
These days, Doctor Shen has been thinking very hard about his master's affairs, and he is obviously getting older.
How should he ask Doctor Shen?
In order to revive his master, Doctor Shen has tried almost every method. Will he tell people now that he suspects that the little medicine boy he brought has stolen the master's things?
And he doesn't have enough evidence. This will chill Imperial Physician Shen, right?
When he thought of this, Xiao Han silently suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He decided not to disturb Doctor Shen no matter what the final result was.
In Xiaohou Mansion, Doctor Shen changed the medicine for Xiao Changfeng's wound.
"Xiao Hou's wound has healed, and the dressing will be changed on time. From tomorrow on, I will not come again!"
Xiao Changfeng put his strong arms forward and clasped his fists, thanking Doctor Shen.
"These days, Dr. Shen has been busy working on my affairs. I am very grateful. I think the Queen Mother is also worried about my affairs. I am the one who worries her!"
"No," Dr. Shen sighed, "The Queen Mother has always valued Xiao Hou, but you suddenly acted like this, and she became so anxious that she fell ill."
"The Queen Mother is also sick, why didn't anyone tell me?" Xiao Changfeng looked at Xiao Han and Anu.
Both of them were shocked. This was the first time they had heard from Doctor Shen about the Queen Mother's illness.
Doctor Shen hurriedly explained, "Xiao Hou, this matter has nothing to do with Guard Han and Anu. It was the Queen Mother who gave the hush-hush order."
"You are also aware of the situation in the harem in the previous dynasty. After leaving the Queen Mother's Palace, no one in the outside world knew that the Queen Mother was ill."
"How is the Queen Mother now? I want to go into the palace to visit the Queen Mother." After saying that, Xiao Changfeng was about to get up.
Doctor Shen held him down and said, "Xiao Hou, not to mention that your body has just recovered and you still need to rest for a few days. In your current situation, you are not suitable to enter the palace."
"I... am not suitable to enter the palace?" Xiao Changfeng was stunned.
Doctor Shen nodded slightly, "Yes, the Queen Mother is worried about the princess. It is not appropriate for you to enter the palace."
"Which...princess thing?" Xiao Changfeng was stunned.
There are so many princesses in the palace, which one is the Queen Mother for?
Doctor Shen was helpless. No wonder the Queen Mother was angry because of Xiao Hou's refusal to marry. He didn't care at all!
Can the Queen Mother not be angry when she sees you like this?
Anu said from the side, "Is the Queen Mother Shen the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother you are talking about, Princess Nianyun?"
"It's not..."
Imperial Physician Shen didn't want to raise too many topics about Princess Nianyun, so she started to pack her things.
Before leaving, he told him, "Anyway, Marquis Xiao can rest in peace and recover from his illness. The matter of going to the palace to see the Queen Mother will be relaxed recently."
"Got it!" Anu nodded.
After Doctor Shen left, Xiao Changfeng looked at Anu, "What happened to me these days when I was in coma?"
"Master, Princess Nianyun's husband died on the battlefield and was just buried a few days ago. I think this is what worries the Queen Mother," Anu said.
This time, Xiao Changfeng fell silent.
Xiao Han said, "Master, the Queen Mother is very angry with you because of your refusal to marry. If you enter the palace now, you will indeed remind the Queen Mother..."
Anu was angry, "I heard that the princess was dark and thin, and was not good enough for me. Now that her husband has died, it is really unfair for the Queen Mother to blame this crime on her master."
"Stop saying a few words," Xiao Han stopped, "Don't arrange the princess randomly."
"You're going to teach me a lesson?" Anu said like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Have you found the dagger that hurt the master? Are you going to teach me a lesson here?"
Xiao Han's face darkened, "I have no clue at all. Is there really something wrong with the defense? Master, I will continue to investigate..."
Xiao Changfeng waved his hands at the two of them impatiently, "Then you all go and investigate until the end."
When the two subordinates who looked like fighting cocks went out, Xiao Changfeng stood up and walked to the sword stand, covering his chest.
As he slowly pulled out the sword, the pain in his chest caused sweat to drip from his forehead.
He took off the silver mask he had been wearing on his face, revealing the covered upper half of his face.
On the left side of his face, a scar ran from his eye to his cheek.
I think if the injury had been deeper, he would have lost sight of his left eye.
Xiao Changfeng looked down at Yin Mian, remembering the hot scene that night...
After a long time, he sighed, "Where have you been hiding?"
