I just want to live a good life

Chapter 438 Swear an Oath

"Could you please give me the bracelet in your hand?"

Falcon lowered his head embarrassedly after saying this.

It was unprecedented for him to take the initiative to ask for rewards, and what he asked for was jewelry worn by women. He must have a beloved girl.

The fire of gossip shone in Su Nuan's eyes.

"Just tell me why you want this bracelet and I'll give it to you."

After throwing out the bait, Su Nuan suppressed his excitement and waited for the falcon's answer.

Falcon scratched his head and replied, "I just wanted to keep a souvenir. I made this."

"what?"

I thought I could hear a love story, but the result was so unexpected.

"You, you learned how to make colored glaze?"

"Yes. I watched Zhu Mingliang while he was firing the bracelets these days and wrote down all the steps. Later, when Zhu Mingliang saw that I was interested, he let me do it and he guided me. I fired this bracelet myself under his guidance. If the queen has no other use for it, Falcon dares to ask the queen to make it as a souvenir."

Although the fire of gossip was extinguished, Falcon had learned a skill and Su Nuan was happy for him, "I'll give it to you if you want it."

Su Nuan generously gave away the bracelet.

Falcon took it carefully and put it back in his arms. Su Nuan noticed his actions and felt that Falcon wanted the glass string for other purposes besides as a souvenir.

Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. Seeing Falcon turning around to leave, Su Nuan grabbed him.

Falcon was so frightened that he wanted to step back, but in his nervousness he forgot that he was in a carriage. He took a step back too hard and not only did he bump into the carriage, but his head also hit the roof of the carriage hard.

With a bang, Su Nuan saw a crack in the roof of the carriage, allowing sunlight to shine in. She was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.

"My lady, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

As he spoke, Falcon looked at Su Nuan's hand that was holding his wrist.

Su Nuan naturally knew what Falcon meant, so she let go of her hand.

This made Falcon feel relieved. Even though they were in the carriage and no one else saw it, he felt extremely panicked just by thinking about the look that the Crown Prince might have if he saw this scene.

"My lady, do you have any other instructions?"

Su Nuan said seriously: "Before you leave, you must swear that you will never tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about Liuli."

Falcon thought that this was not difficult. Since it was Concubine Xia's order, even if this matter was very important to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness would not blame him. What's more, he was Concubine Xia's man now, so there was no problem in just following her orders.

According to Su Nuan's request, Falcon vowed that he would strictly keep the secret of the glass bracelet and never let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know it.

Only then did Su Nuan let the man leave.

After being delayed like this, Ye Xiaobai didn't plan to have breakfast and drove the carriage directly to the general's mansion.

When he met a man selling sesame cakes on the road, he stopped and bought two sesame cakes and gave one to Su Nuan.

The two of them walked and ate as they went, and when they arrived at the general's mansion they were both eight-tenths full.

At the gate of the general's mansion, the noisy guard spread the good news that "the second young lady is back" throughout the mansion.

Su Nuan regretted eating all the sesame cakes. She should have left half of them to stuff the guard's mouth.

The first one to come out to greet Su Nuan was the third brother Xia Changze.

Unlike his usual relaxed appearance, Xia Changze frowned and looked a little heavy.

"What happened?"

Su Nuan asked him.

Xia Changze glanced at Ye Xiaobai and said nothing.

This reaction should be that something happened in the Xia family and they didn't want outsiders to know. Ye Xiaobai was very tactful and said to Su Nuan: "Miss, I haven't seen the 'Rabbit Spirit' for a long time. I want to go find him."

"Go ahead, pick me up in the evening."

After watching Ye Xiaobai leave, Xia Changze replied to Su Nuan's question: "My brother is in trouble."

"What happened?"

"I fainted not long after returning from the palace yesterday and I haven't woken up yet."

"Fainted? He was fine in the palace yesterday. Did anything happen after he came back?"

"Big brother was poisoned. He was assassinated half a month ago and was shot in the arm by an arrow. The arrow was poisonous, but Big brother managed to suppress the poison in his arm and survived for half a month. Yesterday, probably because he drank a lot of wine in the palace, the poison could no longer be suppressed, and he fainted not long after returning."

"Is Xinyi here? What did she say?"

"It's very troublesome. If you want to save your life, you have to lose an arm."

A general guarding a place cannot be a one-armed man. If one of his arms is really lost, Xia Changxiao's official career will be over.

Moreover, General Xia's arm not only affects his own career, but also has a huge impact on the Xia family and even the entire Nanzhao.

It's no wonder that Xia Changze didn't want to talk about it in front of outsiders. This is something that really can't be known by outsiders.

Su Nuan felt a little melancholy. Her luck was really bad. Just when she was about to find a big tree to lean on, half of the tree's crown was about to be cut off by someone.

She certainly couldn't let that happen.

"Third brother, which courtyard does Xinyi live in? I'll go see her first."

"Xinyi stayed up all night taking care of my eldest brother. After daybreak, my eldest sister-in-law arranged for her to stay in her own room across the courtyard."

Su Nuan frowned, said nothing, and followed Xia Changze as they walked quickly towards the yard where Xia Changxiao and his wife lived.

Except for the second wife, Xu, all the members of the Xia family were in Xia Changxiao's yard.

The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Yu, sat in the room wiping her tears, while the second sister-in-law, Mrs. Nie, comforted her. Although Mrs. Xia did not cry, her face looked no different from crying.

Xia Lian is not here.

When Su Nuan entered the room and saw this scene, she asked, "Where's Daddy?"

The one who answered her was Xia Changze, "Daddy has entered the palace. The emperor must be informed of this. And once the emperor knows about it, he will probably send a royal doctor to treat you.

Daddy is not doubting Xinyi's medical skills. After all, more people mean more solutions at this time, and there is no shortage of detoxification experts in the Imperial Hospital."

Su Nuan certainly did not object to the imperial physician coming to treat her eldest brother, but if the emperor sent an imperial physician, then her eldest brother's injury would certainly be revealed. So she guessed that the emperor might not let the imperial physician treat her eldest brother in a high-profile manner, and he would definitely have to find a pretext.

But she never expected that this title would be given by Mu Yunting.
