When the Middle Minister learned about this, he asked someone to keep an eye on the swallows and notify him immediately when they showed signs of laying eggs so that he could go and get them himself.

After a series of incidents such as scaring away the swallows, false news, misidentifying the bird, etc., the Middle Councilor finally got a good opportunity.

At a relatively high place, someone used tools to observe the movements of the swallows and immediately notified the Chunagon.

By the time the middle minister arrived, the swallow's tail had already been lifted up several times, so he quickly used tools to get to a high place and looked into the swallow's nest, and saw that the swallow was indeed lifting its tail.

After a little preparation, he reached into the bird's nest. Due to poor vision, the middle minister only felt that he touched a flat object. He thought it was the Zi'an beige and his heart was instantly happy.

But because he was too excited and was at a high place, the things carrying him kept shaking and then fell down with a loud bang.

Fortunately, he did not fall directly to the ground. There was a pile of grass underneath as a cushion. However, he still fell unconscious, with the "Zi'an Bei" tightly held in his hand.

After a lot of hard work by his subordinates, the Chunagon was finally rescued at night.

As soon as he woke up, Zhong Nayan asked someone to bring a light. He wanted to take a good look at what the "Zi'an Bei" looked like.

However, when the lights came on, the Chunagon opened his palms.

There is no such thing as a Zi'anbei. It's just a shriveled piece of swallow droppings.

In a fit of rage, the Chunagon fell into a coma again.

When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed. Although he did not hit the ground directly when he fell, he still bumped into it and injured his waist.

Even if the Chunagon strictly prohibited it, such a big thing still got out.

After hearing the news, Kaguya originally wanted to give him a poem, but was stopped by Luo Bai.

"Come on, with your poetry skills, you're afraid he's still alive, right? He just wants to pursue you, he doesn't want to hurt you, so don't provoke him anymore."

Kaguya was about to express her dissatisfaction, but when she recalled the poems collected by Luo Bai, she was speechless.

“Alright, I admit my poor skills, and it’s over for the two of them.

If I ask you to find this thing, can you find it?"

Luo Bai thought for a moment, "I do know that dragons exist. Do you think if I hang a jade on her neck and then take it back, it will be considered a dragon head jade?

As for the Swallow's Nest Shell, why should I look for it? It's just a legendary thing anyway. I can just find a shell and put it in the swallow's nest, and then let others see that it was found from inside. You haven't seen it either, right?"

After hearing Luo Bai's explanation, Kaguya was stunned for a moment. She had ignored this situation.

"Have you ever seen a dragon?"

"I have, but not the kind you think."

Isn’t Hong Meiling a dragon?

"You actually really... Forget it, it's normal that you have seen it." Kaguya was a little surprised, but when she thought of Luo Bai's origin, she felt relieved.

As for Yan Zi and An Bei's matter, even if she really did what Luo Bai said, she would have a way to solve it.

The legends that spread from him are just what she said.

At this point, four of the five difficult problems have been solved. Rumor has come from Fujiwara Prefecture that Fujiwara Fuhito is already on his way back.

Chapter 70: No Longer Gorgeous

In the Fujiwara Mansion, Fujiwara no Fuhito has not returned yet, but Luo Bai was invited here.

"Mr. Luo, please have some tea." Meihong's mother came over slowly with tea.

"Thank you for your help, Mrs. Fujiwara." Luo Bai reached out to take it.

This morning, Meihong suddenly came to him and said that her mother wanted to talk to him about something. When Luo Bai came, Meihong's mother sent her away, leaving the two of them in the room.

Lady Fujiwara?

Meihong's mother smiled silently.

"I apologize for asking you to come here so hastily today."

"It's okay. I don't usually have anything to do." Luo Bai shook his head slightly. "Is inviting me here today related to Meihong?"

"To be honest, it's true." Meihong's mother put down her teacup and sat opposite Luo Bai.

"As far as I know, Meihong has been betrothed to you by her father, right?"

"Indeed."

"In that case, please forgive me for offending you." Meihong's mother's expression suddenly became firm, and she looked at Luo Bai solemnly.

Luo Bai also perked up: "Please speak."

Meihong's mother took a deep breath and said, "I want to know if you really treat Meihong as your wife?"

Really treat her as a wife...

Luo Bai suddenly fell silent.

What does he think of Meihong?

Initially, it was because Meihong had helped him in the future, so he paid attention to Meihong's situation. After that, Meihong followed him and called him "Brother Luo Bai" for such a long time, and the relationship between the two gradually became like that of relatives. Until Fujiwara Fuhito proposed that Meihong marry him, he just wanted Meihong to use his help to escape from the Fujiwara family.

As for my wife...

Luo Bai recalled his attitude when he was with Huo Qing'e and Suwako, which was quite different from when he treated Meihong.

Seeing Luo Bai's silence, Meihong's mother's eyes showed some apology.

She could see that the relationship between Luo Bai and Meihong was already close enough, and all they needed was enough time to spend together before everything would work out. If it weren't for the Kaguya incident, perhaps she could have waited with Meihong.

But now Kaguya's incident not only implicated Fujiwara no Fuhito, but even Meikou was involved.

When Fujiwara no Fuhito returns, the outcome will inevitably be failure. After seeing the miserable state of the other four people after their failure, she already knows what will happen then.

As a minister of a country, he was humiliated by a woman. It is absolutely impossible for him not to have the thought of revenge.

However, Kaguya is not an ordinary person, and Fujiwara no Fuhito's revenge is doomed to fail. By that time, even just for the sake of face, Fujiwara no Fuhito will probably not appear in front of the world. He may very likely spread the news of his fake death and live in seclusion somewhere else.

She also knew that Meikou and Kaguya had a good relationship, but if the news of Fujiwara no Fuhito's death were to spread, there would be a gap between her, Kaguya and Luo Bai, which would definitely not be eliminated in a short time.

She didn't want to see this happen, so she had to take action at that time to force Fujiwara no Fuhito to give up spreading the news of his death.

As for why she was so sure that she could make Fujiwara no Fuhito change his mind, it was because she was the only one who married Fujiwara no Fuhito without a marriage alliance. Apart from Fujiwara no one knew Fujiwara no Fuhito better than her.

She seemed to have suffered a lot over the years, but in fact, if Fujiwara no Fuhito had not treated her like this, she would have had bigger problems a long time ago.

This can be seen from those children who have been bullying Meihong. If the children are like this, how good can the mother be?

If Fujiwara no Hitoshi goes into seclusion at that time, not all the women would be willing to go with him, so she would have to go alone.

But then she would no longer be able to take care of Meihong.

So she wanted to take their relationship a step closer before leaving. Not to mention being the only one, at least it would be enough to leave a place in Luo Bai's heart.

"Ever since you and Meihong signed your marriage agreement, Meihong has been learning from me what a wife should do, which has resulted in her visiting you much less often.

I don't know what agreement you have with Meihong, but please treat her well because of what she has done.

This way, I can leave with peace of mind."

Meihong's mother sighed softly, which instantly focused Luo Bai's thoughts.

His consciousness swept over Meihong's mother's body, but he didn't find anything wrong.

Seeing Luo Bai's serious look, Meihong's mother smiled, stood up and took two steps.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with my body. I haven't had any problems since that incident.

When I say gone, I don't mean dead. Please allow me to conceal this for now. You will know the answer when the result comes out."

Luo Bai nodded slightly, and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

He rarely lost in battles of wits and courage with Kaguya, but at this moment he actually felt like he was being manipulated.

After taking a deep look at the smiling woman in front of him, Luo Bai said solemnly, "I understand. I will remember what you said. I promise you that as long as I am here, Meihong will never be hurt in the slightest!"

The oath is like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone involved in it, enough to make people feel its weight.

"Thank you very much... Xiaobai, is it okay for me to call you that?" Meihong's mother winked playfully.

"As you wish." Luo Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't refute it.

After all, he is the son-in-law of the woman in front of him, so it is reasonable for him to be addressed as a junior.

Seeing that Luo Bai did not refute, Meihong's mother nodded with satisfaction.

"Now that we've finished talking about our business, Xiaobai, please leave first. I'm going to have some private conversation with Meihong, and I can't let you eavesdrop."

"You're going to kick me out now." Luo Bai sighed softly, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know. I'll do my best."

"Yeah, if you need anything, I'll let Meihong tell you."

Looking at the woman in front of him who was waving at him, Luo Bai no longer hesitated and turned away.

When Luo Bai's figure completely disappeared, Meihong's mother suddenly sat down on the chair, her eyes seemed to be recalling the scene just now.

"Sure enough, being with young people makes you feel younger."

No matter how stunningly beautiful she was in the past, she is now just a mother of grown children.

After sitting there silently for a while, Meihong's mother stood up and a smile appeared on her face again.

"It's time to go find Meihong. There's still so much to learn. We need to hurry up."

......

A few days later, a small boat gradually approached the coast. There were several figures standing on the boat, and the one in the front was a man holding something that looked like a treasure box in his hand.

The next day, Heijokyo was bustling with people.

Fujiwara no Fuhito is back.

Chapter 71: The Exposed Story

Unlike others, Fujiwara no Fuhito did not go to find Kaguya immediately after returning, but stayed in the mansion for a while. When there was only one month left, he made all the arrangements and came to Kaguya under the attention of everyone.

But this time Luo Bai also stayed at the scene.

"Mr. Luo, what are you doing?" Fujiwara no Fuhito frowned.

"Don't worry, Lord Fujiwara. This time, Kaguya asked me for help. You two can talk freely. I won't speak up until Kaguya opens her mouth."

After he finished speaking, Luo Bai, who was sitting beside him, closed his eyes, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Although Fujiwara no Fuhito was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything else. After all, Luo Bai was still Kaguya's teacher in name, so there was nothing wrong with him appearing here.

Then Fujiwara no Fuhito turned his head away from Luo Bai and looked at Kaguya who was separated by a layer of gauze.

"Now that I have obtained the Penglai Jade Branch that Kaguya mentioned, should Kaguya fulfill her promise?"

"Don't worry, Lord Fujiwara. Prince Ishisaku and the Right Minister also said the same thing, but it has been verified to be false. The authenticity of the Jade Branch still needs to be verified."

Kaguya was not in a hurry at this moment, and even felt like laughing.

The whole process of Fujiwara no Fuhito taking the jade branch was presented by Luo Bai in the form of a movie. The so-called taking the jade branch was just a joke.

She was just weighing how to get Fujiwara no Fuhito out while taking Meikou into consideration.

"Princess Kaguya, you can verify it at will." Fujiwara no Fuhito smiled faintly, very confident.

The box containing the 'Penglai Jade Branch' was delivered to Kaguya by Luo Bai as a gift between the two.

When I opened it, I found that it was just as Kaguya described. The branches were glowing slightly, and there were several white jade-like fruits growing on them.

"Lord Fujiwara truly has a great opportunity. Even I can't tell the real from the fake when I look closely."

Kaguya was also amazed as she played with the jade branch in her hand. She had never even seen the Penglai jade branch she was talking about, and she didn't expect Fujiwara no Fuhito to be able to make her one that looked so similar.

"I wonder if Lord Fujiwara could explain how you found it, and satisfy my curiosity."

"It's impossible."

Fujiwara no Fuhito's eyes revealed some reminiscence as he slowly recounted, "After receiving this difficult question, I pondered for a long time how to find it. After about a month, I finally made up my mind and set sail with some followers.

However, because I was worried that someone might harm me when I was traveling, I only brought a few people with me secretly.

But after leaving the country I realized we had absolutely no clues and had no idea where to look.

So he could only believe Kaguya's words and keep walking east.

Sometimes they would go to unknown countries and encounter ghosts; sometimes they would lose their way and drift on the sea; sometimes they would run out of food and could only look for plants to fill their stomachs.
