Chapter 368: The Elegant Swordsman
After Li Wenyuan left the room, Du Yunsheng turned to Jiang Shaohan and the old princess and said, "Your Majesty, old princess, let's go to the front hall now and prepare to welcome the guests."
Jiang Shaohan and the old princess smiled at each other and followed Du Yunsheng to the front hall. After a while, guests arrived one after another. Among them, the most prominent one was the current emperor's trusted minister, Eunuch Chen.
Eunuch Chen looked at Du Yunsheng with a hint of surprise. He did not expect that Du Yunsheng, who was still sick a month ago, would be so energetic now.
Du Yunsheng looked at Eunuch Chen and smiled, "Eunuch Chen, long time no see. You look younger and younger."
Eunuch Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Du, you are becoming more and more charming. I heard that you were not feeling well, but I didn't expect you to be so energetic today."
Du Yunsheng smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Chen. I have recovered. Today, I have specially prepared a feast to entertain all the distinguished guests."
Eunuch Chen smiled slightly and thought to himself, "It seems that this Du Yunsheng is indeed not a simple person."
The banquet started, Du Yunsheng sat in the main seat, Jiang Shaohan and the old princess sat on both sides. Eunuch Chen and other guests sat at the bottom. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Du Yunsheng suddenly stood up, and Eunuch Chen said, "Eunuch Chen, I have something to ask of you."
Eunuch Chen was stunned and said, "Miss Du, please speak."
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the emperor has been unwell recently. I would like to offer a good medicine to relieve the emperor's worries."
There was a hint of surprise in Eunuch Chen's eyes. Du Yunsheng's move must have a deeper meaning.
But he still asked cautiously: "Miss Du, do you really have a good medicine?"
Du Yunsheng smiled lightly, took out a pill from his sleeve, and said, "Eunuch Chen, this is a pill developed by Hua Tuo, a famous physician in the Western Wei Dynasty, called the 'Rejuvenation Pill'. As long as the emperor takes it on time, the disease will be cured."
Eunuch Chen took the pill, examined it carefully, and said, "Miss Du, is this pill really effective?"
Du Yunsheng nodded confidently and said, "Eunuch Chen, you can try it. If the emperor recovers after taking it, I am willing to offer all the treasures of Western Wei to thank the emperor for his grace of saving his life."
Eunuch Chen's eyes flashed with greed, thinking that Du Yunsheng was trying to win him over. But he still didn't dare to agree easily, after all, this was related to the safety of the emperor.
Just as Eunuch Chen was hesitating, Jiang Shaohan suddenly stood up and said, "Eunuch Chen, I believe Miss Du's elixir will definitely be effective. If the emperor recovers after taking it, I am willing to offer all the treasures of the Western Wei Dynasty with Miss Du."
The old princess also stood up and said, "Eunuch Chen, please rest assured that our Jingwang Mansion is willing to guarantee the effectiveness of the emperor's medicine."
Eunuch Chen looked at Jiang Shaohan and the old princess, and his heart was moved.
The power of Prince Jing's Mansion should not be underestimated. If he could win over Prince Jing's Mansion, it would be of great benefit to his position in the court.
So Eunuch Chen nodded and said, "In that case, I will try this elixir for the emperor. If it really works, I will definitely speak well of Miss Du in front of the emperor."
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and said, "Eunuch Chen, I believe you will do it."
……
Du Yunsheng gently pushed open the exquisite sandalwood door in front of her and stepped into the quaint courtyard. The night was dim, and the moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, shining on her veiled face, making her look even more mysterious. In the courtyard, several people in ancient costumes were sitting around a stone table, chatting and laughing.
Du Yunsheng walked gently to the stone table, brushed off the dust on the table, and joined them with a smile.
"Miss Du, you are finally here." A young knight in green stood up, bowed and said with a smile.
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces: "Everyone is here, so of course I have to come. By the way, what is this young man's name?"
"My name is Liu Sanqiu, and I'm known as 'The Smiling Proud Wanderer' in Jianghu." The young knight said proudly with his chest puffed out.
Du Yunsheng nodded gently: "So it's Young Master Liu Sanqiu, I've heard a lot about you."
At this time, a middle-aged scholar came over and said with a smile: "Miss Du, you just took the Disguise Pill, and we didn't notice it. It shows that your disguise technique has reached perfection."
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and gently touched the veil: "The effect of the Disguise Pill is indeed good, but I still prefer my original appearance."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. At this time, a steady voice sounded: "Miss Du, what are you doing here this time?"
Du Yunsheng turned around and saw a middle-aged swordsman looking at her with burning eyes. She smiled slightly: "Swordsman Fenghua, you are becoming more and more like a swordsman. I came here this time to ask you some questions about swordsmanship."
The elegant swordsman smiled slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Miss Du, you are too kind. Let me slowly tell you about the swordsmanship."
Everyone sat around the stone table and started talking about swordsmanship. Du Yunsheng listened carefully, interrupting and asking questions from time to time, and everyone answered her questions. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with sword energy and the atmosphere was heated.
During the conversation, Du Yunsheng discovered that Fenghua Swordsman seemed to have some worries in his eyes. She frowned slightly and asked, "Fenghua Swordsman, you seem to be worried. Is there anything troubling you?"
The elegant swordsman was slightly stunned, then sighed: "Miss Du is indeed very discerning. In fact, I have been worried about one thing recently, that is, a mysterious organization has appeared in the martial arts world. They are ruthless and weird, and it is hard to guard against them."
Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with something strange: "Mysterious organization? What exactly do they want to do?"
Liu Sanqiu interrupted, "It is said that the goal of this organization is to control the martial arts world. They have secretly bribed many people in the martial arts world, and their power is growing stronger and stronger."
Du Yunsheng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "This matter is of great importance. We must find a way to stop them. Otherwise, there will be no peace in the world."
The Fenghua Swordsman nodded in agreement: "That's right. However, this organization is so powerful that we can't fight it alone. We must unite with the righteous people in the martial arts world to fight together."
Everyone nodded, and the atmosphere became serious. Du Yunsheng gently patted Fenghua Swordsman's shoulder: "Fenghua Swordsman, don't worry, I will do my best to help you."
A trace of gratitude flashed in the eyes of the Fenghua Swordsman, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Du. With your help, I believe we can definitely defeat the evil forces."
As the night deepened, everyone was still talking about the big events in the martial arts world. Du Yunsheng quietly left and returned to her room. She gently took off her veil, revealing her original face. The moonlight shone on her face, making her look even more beautiful and refined.
……
But Jiang Shaohan didn't expect that Du Yunsheng would find it at a glance. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she concealed her emotions, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and looked at Jiang Shaohan with a smile.
"It turns out that the prince can also be negligent sometimes." Du Yunsheng said softly, with a barely perceptible hint of ridicule in his voice.
Jiang Shaohan frowned slightly, but seeing Du Yunsheng so calm, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He walked closer to Du Yunsheng, his brows relaxed, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Yunsheng, you really know everything."
