Chapter 38: Bewitching the World
A group of men and horses swaggered into the city.
Many people in the city saw that Yang Shizi and Mu Qian rode the same horse into the city, and they wondered why the two big men still rode together.
In the next two days, news came out of nowhere, and rumors spread in the Acropolis: The prince of Lingnan Wangfu likes male style, robbed Mu Qian's son and locked him in the mansion, and drove his family out of the Acropolis.
Everyone understood, no wonder the two of them rode the same horse that day, it turned out that the prince had kidnapped Mu Qian's son.
What! The prince has kidnapped Mu Qian's son!
......
After Mu Qian entered the city, he was locked up in Yang Rubei's courtyard and did not leave the city.
Mainly, you can't get out even if you want to, right?
He was still under house arrest.
It's been three days, Mu Qian didn't know that there were rumors outside, he only knew that Yang Rubei seemed to have something going on today, and he hadn't been with him like he had been spending two days ago.
Now that Yun Niang and the child are safe, he has no weakness to be threatened. No matter what Yang Rubei said, he just refused to follow him, and he was helpless.
At this time, Yang Rubei was called to the front hall by the princess.
Yang Rubei entered the door and saluted, "Mother." ”
The princess slapped the table angrily and said, "Do you still know that there is a mother like me! Let me ask you, is Mu Qian in your courtyard?"
Yang Rubei said disapprehantly: "Yes." ”
"Hurry up and let him get out of the house!"
Yang Rubei frowned, opened his mouth and said, "No." ”
The princess stood up, pointed at Yang Rubei angrily, and said loudly: "Are you going to be angry with me? Your father is not in the Acropolis, you think I can't control you, right?"
"Why did my mother insist that I let him go? Ah Qian hadn't spent the night in the palace before. Yang Rubei frowned.
Mother shouldn't know what he thinks, why he opposes Mu Qian so much.
The princess looked at her son and said hatefully: "You don't know yet, do you? The rumors outside are already flying all over the sky! If your father knows about it, don't you want the position of the son of the world?"
"Rumors?"
"There are rumors outside that you like male style, robbed Mu Qian and locked him up in the house, and drove his family out of the Acropolis!
Yang Rubei had never seen his mother so angry, so he had to admit: "This ...... It's true, but I didn't drive his family away. ”
"Hurry up and release the person to me! I let the next person pass it on, everything is a misunderstanding. ”
"No, I won't. Yang Rubei thought that if he let Mu Qian go, he might run away from him again, and his heart throbbed.
The princess pointed at Yang Rubei angrily, "Bastard, you like him so much?"
Yang Rubei looked at his mother calmly and said, "Mother, I really like Ah Qian, I can't let him go." ”
"Why don't you understand! Your father would not allow a manly son to be his son. If you want him, the glory and wealth of this life will be gone! Mother, there is no hope. Do you understand?" said the princess, who paused, sat down, "and let him go." When you get married, have children, and sit firmly in the position of the son, what man do you want?"
"Mother, you are wrong, I want Ah Qian, not because I like male style, not because he is a man, what I want is Ah Qian. Yang Rubei paused, "I can promise my mother to marry a wife and have children, and sit in a secure position, but I must not let go of Ah Qian." ”
Hearing her son's concession, the princess frowned and said, "However, if you don't let him go now, this message all over the city will not be quelled." If your father had known about it, he would have been angry. ”
"Anyway, I will never let Ah Qian go. ”
The princess seemed to think of something, and said softly: "Perhaps, it's not impossible." ”
Yang Rubei looked at his mother with wide eyes, and wondered, "What is the mother's method?"
The princess groaned for a while, looked at her son and said, "Bei'er, you come with me." ”
Yang Rubei followed the princess into the Buddhist hall, usually in addition to the cleaning of the Buddhist hall, only the princess will come to chant the Buddha.
Yang Rubei closed the door, and only their mother and son were left in the entire ancestral hall.
The princess walked to the bookshelf next to the Buddha hall and took a fire fold and a stone in the shape of a petal.
Then the princess walked over to the Buddha statue and lifted the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, revealing a petal-shaped depression.
"This is a secret room?" Yang Rubei asked in surprise.
The princess nodded, "Yes." ”
The princess put the stone into the depression, and the stone was just inserted. With a slight push, the wall slowly began to move, making a rumbling sound. Soon, a doorway appeared in the wall that could accommodate one person to pass through.
The princess stepped in and said, "Bei'er is coming." ”
After the two entered, the door slowly closed again.
The princess took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamps on the wall in turn. The two of them walked down the narrow passage.
Yang Rubei kept observing the surroundings and was speechless all the way. But it's also strange, why did my mother make such a secret room in the house?
When I finally came to the end, it suddenly became clear in front of me that it was a large dark room.
There was everything in the darkroom, beds, tables and chairs, lockers, shelves, hangers, and a row of large boxes stacked on one side.
Yang Rubei pointed to those eye-catching boxes and asked, "Mother, is this?"
The princess glanced at it and said softly: "Some are the dowry of the mother's relatives, and some are gold and silver. ”
"So many ......," Yang Rubei couldn't help but say, there must be at least twenty or thirty boxes.
"Surprised at something. In the future, these are all yours. ”
"Hey, hey. Yang Rubei chuckled.
It's not that he doesn't have knowledge, it's just that so much money is in front of him, and it's really shocking.
"Don't stand stupid, come here. The princess said, standing beside a shelf.
"Bh. Yang Rubei walked over in a few steps.
The princess picked up a box and opened it gently, revealing a small emerald green bead.
"What kind of bead is this?" Yang Rubei couldn't help but ask.
He looked at this small emerald green bead very strangely, it was more emerald green than jade, and the color was uniform, as if it was translucent.
"This isn't jade, it's called a bewitching bead. The princess looked at the beads and said seriously.
"Bei'er, my mother is not an ordinary woman. More than 20 years ago, there was a cult called the Holy Moon, and her mother was the holy daughter of the Holy Moon Sect. ”
Yang Rubei said in disbelief: "What?
The princess was immersed in her memories and said softly, "Yes, this bewitching bead is the treasure of the Holy Moon Sect. At that time, the lord of the country ordered that witchcraft was strictly forbidden, and your father was ordered to exterminate the cult. I'm fighting against it as a holy daughter, but I don't want to fall in love with your father. So, I took the treasure and fled from the Holy Moon Cult, which was subsequently destroyed by your father. ”
The princess paused and continued: "The power of the Bewitching Bead lies in the ......"
