Baili Chen immediately nodded and said to Xiao Yun Chen, "Subordinate, we'll send someone to investigate the military."

Xiao Yun Chen frowned, his face filled with seriousness. "We must not let the people of the Wu Country find out, or our efforts will be in vain." After speaking, he casually waved at Baili Chen. Baili Chen immediately turned around and left to arrange for his men.

Dugu Yuan had not been idle during this time. She had been searching everywhere for pictures of the few things that happened. On this day, Dugu Yuan was walking alone on the street.

Wu Guo's clothes and accessories were mostly exquisite, but it was still far from Yan Guo's. Therefore, Dugu Yuan walked into a decorated jewelry store and immediately saw a ruby hairpin placed in the middle of the shop.

The shopkeeper saw that Dugu Yuan was dressed decently and immediately called out to her, "This is the best jewelry store in the entire kingdom, why don't you take a look?"

"Bring me the ruby hairpin." When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately smiled and took the hairpin and placed it in Dugu Yuan's hand.

After looking at it carefully, he was overjoyed. "Help me wrap it up." Who knew that as soon as Dugu Yuan finished her sentence, she heard a proud voice behind him.

"This consort wants that hairpin!" As soon as he said that, he saw a woman wearing a dark blue dress walk in arrogantly. She looked down at the shopkeeper as if she hadn't seen Dugu Yuan.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the person, his head began to ache. It was none other than the Fifth Prince's imperial concubine, Yu Qi.

If it was before, she might have been more humble than Qi, but it happened twice in a row during the palace banquet. No matter whether it was the Fifth Prince or Yu Cheng, neither of them came out to say anything for Qi.

So even though the Fifth Prince didn't like her, he wouldn't do anything to her. This month, he said the same thing a few times, and every time Qi came, he would definitely take away the jewelry that others wanted.

Dugu Yuan didn't care that she was the Fifth Prince's secondary wife or the Emperor's concubine, she immediately said with a cold face, "I took a fancy to this hairpin first! Don't you know what comes first? "

The shopkeeper saw this and hurried out to smooth things over. He looked at Qi Yuan with a troubled look and said, "Mistress, this young lady has taken a liking to the hairpin first. If you like it too, why don't I order someone to make it for you? It's hard to find a gem, but it'll be enough in a month."

Fewer than Qi, of course, refused. His eyes were wide open, waiting for the shopkeeper. "You mean this concubine and some cat or dog hairpin from who knows where?"

As she spoke, the maidservant, who was behind Qi Qi, took out two silver notes from her sleeve and placed them on the counter, "Are these silver notes enough to buy you a hairpin?" It should be the Empress who came first, right? "After all, our department paid the bill." As she spoke, the maidservant glanced at Dugu Yuan with disdain.

Originally, Dugu Yuan didn't really care about the shopkeeper's words. She wouldn't stay in Wu Country forever, so it didn't matter if there was a second hairpin.

However, the fact that Qi called her a cat or a dog made her feel uncomfortable. Plus, when the shopkeeper called her Dugu Yuan, she immediately knew who Qi was. She knew a little about the things that happened in the past few days.

Then he looked at Yu Yuyi with a mocking expression and said, "Heh!" Who was I then? But a person who relied on such shady methods to be the concubine of the Fifth Prince has the nerve to brazenly show off his might; if it was me, I would have long since hidden at home and no one would be able to see me! "

The servant girl behind Qi did not expect Dugu Yuan to be so bold. She immediately scolded, "How dare you!" Who gave you the guts to look down on the Imperial Family! "

Hearing that, Dugu Yuan suddenly laughed out loud. "Imperial Family? What kind of royal family was she? Only those who have been bestowed Yu Die by their family tree can be considered to be part of the royal family. I'm afraid that your family's ancestors don't even know your name! "

Although Dugu Yuan had lived in the military camp since she was young, she was also a princess of a country. Naturally, she would understand the rules of the country and save the time and shame.

It was true that Qi did not go on Yu Die, because what she did was not good and the fifth prince did not like her, so no one would want to help her. Under normal circumstances, the secondary concubine could have Yu Die.

Even my concubine's grade is higher than the average lady's. Dugu Yuan actually said all of this so carelessly.

Yu Yu Yu's face turned red. She pointed at Dugu Yuan and said, "How dare you!" You actually dare to discuss the matters of the Imperial Family! " Seeing this, Dugu Yan's expression changed. He raised his hand and pulled out the curved blade at his waist. Then, he began to spin it in his hand.

Then he stared at Yu Yuqi and said, "I don't like people pointing their fingers at me the most! This is the first time, I'll remind you this once, if there's a next time, you just watch! "

With that, she flicked her finger and the curved blade fell onto the counter and stabbed into the two notes. Dugu Yuan walked up and pulled out the curved blade and gently sliced on the notes. The notes turned into two halves and were casually swept to the ground by Dugu Yuan.

"No one is paying now. Pack it up for me!" With that said, Dugu Yuan took out two gold ingots and threw it to the shopkeeper!

The shopkeeper glanced at Qi Yu. Actually, he didn't like this arrogant woman either. Now that there was someone who could take care of her, he immediately turned around and wrapped up the hairpin and gave it to Dugu Yuan.

Dugu Yuan took the hairpin and was about to leave without looking at Yu Qi. Yu Qi seemed to have just woken up. She squinted at Dugu Yuan who was almost to the door and said, "Come!" How dare she offend this concubine, tie her up and bring her back! This consort will definitely teach this ungrateful woman a lesson! "

Dugu Yuan really didn't know how Qi had become the most talented girl in the world. She turned around and looked at Yu Qi with a bad expression. With the scimitar in her hand, the scimitar landed on the servant who was eager to grab her.

Her scimitar had followed her to the battlefield before. The servant could feel its sharpness just by placing it on her neck. He kept looking at her and felt like he was about to cry.

Dugu Yuan's eyes were fixed on Qi, her chin raised as if asking if Qi would return.
