Chapter 499: The Mystery of the Blood Lotus
Wanyan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes condensed, "Did you see anyone when you came?"
"No, eldest princess. ”
Wanyan Juemo lowered his eyes lightly, his fingertips curled slightly, "Let's go." Then a servant girl came and helped her into the carriage.
Compared with the embarrassing urging a few days ago, the carriage at this moment is obviously too luxurious and extravagant, and the surrounding layers of officers and soldiers are guarding
"Damn! You bunch of waste, so many people have gone, only three people have returned! You have brought more than five times more people than hers! She has fled back, you say, what is the value of you following me!" A man dressed in a golden robe, with silk shoes under his feet, a tortoiseshell on his head, and the night pearl on the hairpin on his head swayed, his face was very gloomy, and his expression was gloomy and could drip water.
The three people kneeling below lowered their heads at the moment, and they didn't dare to say a word, they didn't expect that the woman was really so difficult to die, she was supposed to win, but she didn't know how the third child couldn't even beat a seriously injured person, it was really weird!
"Prince, something has changed, the eldest princess has an extra white-robed man by her side to help her, let's just "The eldest brother remembered Zi Han's face, his face was a little gloomy, nine times out of ten it was that person who made trouble!
"Hmph! Excuse! Why haven't I heard that the eldest princess came back with someone this time? She was brought back by General Chang Sheng alone, and now the imperial doctor in the palace is treating her injuries, I heard that it is very serious, but she still did not die, it is really hateful!" The prince was angry when he thought of this, and he threw the teacup in his hand at several people, and the teacup shattered with a "click", and all the crumbs and tea were splashed on the heads of several people, and they did not dare to say a word, and knelt silently in place to bear the prince's anger.
The prince and the eldest princess were born of the same mother, the prince's biological mother is the queen, and he is one year older than the eldest princess, he was named the prince at birth, he has been dressed and eaten since he was a child, and he is glorious and rich, but it seems to be fate, his enemy is the eldest princess who is one year younger than him!
Wanyan Juemo's biological mother is just an ordinary concubine, the concubine died of a serious illness in her early years, Wanyan Juemo's status at that time can be described as very low, but she is talented and intelligent, and she will learn anything, and gradually attracted the attention of her father, so that she is optimistic about her in every way, and often praises Wanyan Jumo in front of him for how good and powerful, making him a big man lose face every time!
Over time, she began to hate Wanyan and was indifferent to her, and she was against her everywhere, she couldn't compete with him for the throne as a woman, but in recent years, her father had been putting the power of soldiers and horses in her hands, and she now controlled eighty percent of the military strength of the Linyue Kingdom, and the remaining twenty percent was the Praetorian Guards in the imperial city, which meant that she was alone in controlling the military power outside.
And in the future, when he ascends the throne, who knows if this woman will return the power of the soldiers and horses to him, if not, then this person will be his great enemy!
He also reminded his father more than once, but his father still let her be in charge of the military as if he didn't hear it, and he also revealed it in his words
He remembered quite clearly that at a celebration banquet, his father was drunk and actually said to him, "If you don't work hard, it will be okay for me to become an empress in Linyue Kingdom." It was this sentence that completely stimulated the anger and jealousy in his heart, how could she be in charge of the country as a woman!
Since that day, he has sent many dead soldiers and killers to take her life, but unfortunately, all of them have failed.
This time she finally had an opportunity, she went to the neighboring country to negotiate, she couldn't bring too many escorts over, she only brought a small team of forty guards, but she didn't think that this great opportunity was missed by these people!
The prince was angry for a long time, and finally managed to slowly control his emotions, staring at a few people with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "Get out! Don't let the indifferent people find you!"
After that, he waved his sleeves and ignored a few people.
I don't know how long I have to wait for this failure to have a chance.
On the other side, Wanyan was leaning on the bed, staring at the edge of the bed expressionlessly.
"Eldest princess, you have to rest well these days, don't let the wound crack again, Your Majesty will change your dressing regularly every night, and the medicine on the table should also be drunk regularly, which will help the bruises in your body to scatter blood. The female imperial physician standing next to her lowered her head and said slowly.
"Yes. Wanyan Juemo did not raise his eyes, and his expression was a little silent.
The female princess didn't say anything when she saw this, she consciously retreated, the eldest princess has always been silent, and her temperament is also very cold, even if she talks to someone on weekdays, that person must be three meters away from her, and never let people touch her, which is why she has been by her side for so many years.
She is the eldest princess's imperial physician.
No matter how many injuries she suffered, the eldest princess would come back to heal herself.
But this time when she came back, the wound was bandaged, and according to the location of the wound, she couldn't bandage it herself, and the female princess looked very surprised when she first saw the eldest princess, but as a courtier, the most taboo thing to say was that she didn't ask.
After Yan Juemo saw the person leaving, his eyes rolled, he reached out and took out a note from under the pillow, frowned slightly, and opened the note.
"Don't say goodbye, don't want 100,000 taels, take your 8,000 taels, goodbye. The words were very short, and there was not even a name, and the handwriting was a little hasty.
After Yan Juemo finished reading it, a chill flashed in his eyes, and as soon as he held his palm, he crumpled the note into a paper ball and threw it aside to ignore it.
Zi Han's side, after taking a serious look at the trauma doctor, she stayed in the inn, and after her injuries were a little better, she went to the Lin family to investigate
Hurt muscles and bones for a hundred days, not to mention a few broken ribs, Zi Han rested in the inn for a week before coming out, as soon as he came out, he went to sit in the kind of teahouse where there was a storyteller, and it was a day to sit.
It wasn't until the teahouse was about to close and the storyteller was about to leave that Zi Han blocked the old man's way, stuffed a silver ingot into his arms, and asked lightly, "I want to ask you something." ”
The old storyteller saw the silver in his hand and smiled, "Childe, please ask." ”
"Lin family, what's wrong?" Zi Han asked with a slight squint in his eyes, his eyes flashing with curiosity.
The old man also glanced at Zi Han with a suspicious look in his eyes, his expression was a little strange, and he smiled lightly: "Childe is not from Linyue City, right?" ”
"Well, from out of town. ”
"Hehe, then it's over, the matter of the Lin Mansion has long been spread in Linyue City, and there are almost no people who don't know, even those children usually talk about it. The old storyteller stroked his beard with one hand and looked at Zi Han with a smile, paused, and continued: " This has to start from three years ago, one day when the maid of the Lin Mansion bypassed the lotus pond, she found that the lotus pond grew a bright red lotus, the lotus legend was red like blood, which really scared the maid, and hurriedly ran to tell the lord of the Lin Mansion, that is, when the prime minister Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang went to see that it was really the case, and ordered to seal the news not to spread, and also sent someone to pick the blood lotus, but did not think that after half a month, a new blood lotus grew in the pond, and the color was more bright, and the red one could drip blood, which made the people of the Lin Mansion panic, and it was rumored that the Lin Mansion was haunted, there is a blood-red vengeful female ghost entrenched in the lotus pond of the Lin Mansion"
This story is quite legendary, Zi Han heard it with interest, and raised his eyebrows, "What about later?"
"There is no impermeable wall in the world, once or twice, the problem is that the blood lotus will grow every ten days and half a month, and in order to refute the rumors, the Lin Mansion will send someone to remove it and cremate it as long as the blood lotus grows, and now the Lin Mansion no longer hides this matter, after all, there is no need to hide the things that everyone knows, and now they are specially sending people to find capable people who can solve the mystery of the lotus pond, and even those divine women and warlocks have invited them all over, but they have not been able to find out the reason. "The storyteller is very real, as if he is there, and he paints the sounds.
Zi Han's eyes lit up as he listened to it, this really seemed to be made by ghosts and gods, but if the ghosts and gods were in the mortal realm, those ghosts would not exist, because as long as the souls left after death belonged to the spirits, and the spirits were not mortals, their souls would be automatically isolated by the barrier here in the mortal realm, so as to go to the cultivation realm.
And in the cultivation realm, those souls can't bear such a strong aura, and they will soon dissipate, and only those mortal ghosts with strong willpower can survive in the cultivation realm, so that some of them become ghosts, but these ghosts are the lowest, they don't remember everything in their lives, they are scattered in space, and they are extremely afraid of the sun, and they only dare to haunt at night, so the strength of ordinary ghosts is very low, of course, there will be exceptions
Therefore, the mystery of the blood lotus in the Lin Mansion will not be a ghost made by ghosts, it can only be man-made.
But she couldn't figure out why anyone would dye the lotus flowers red, and what was the point of doing that.
As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, he stared at Zi Han, his expression was a little playful, and he asked with a smile, "What is Childe's unique opinion on this matter?"
"Me?" Zi Han smiled and shook his head, "There are too many things in the world that can't be explained, and the ghosts and gods you are talking about are also possible." (To be continued.) )
