Chapter 093: Visitation and Speculation
Yes, this punishment can be said to be very severe, or rather, it can completely kill the Styx.
The major families of the Federation have been passed down for hundreds of years, and during this period, brothers and uncles, and in-laws have been separated, and I don't know how many people have become internal magicians of the Gongwei family.
The Tantai family is no exception, divided into seven deployments according to the level of magical ability, the names are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple according to the rainbow color, with red as the low, and purple as the high, and the leader of each deployment is named Shadow.
Blue Shadow is one of them, and is the leader of the third-ranked deployment, who has single-handedly eliminated a small family.
In the Federation, the Twenty-Seven families had an oath when the Wizards' Guild was founded that the children of the family were not allowed to have illegitimate children among the general population, but this did not mean that it was a good thing.
The content of the oath is that a bastard child with the magic of the family's bloodline can survive and be called a concubine. However, bastards who do not possess bloodline magic must be put to death to prevent atavism in the bloodline of their descendants, or if someone from outside the Federation conducts magical experiments to steal the family's bloodline magic.
The Lantai Styx is the illegitimate son who survived because he was born with the awakening of space magic, so he was brought home by Zhuge Hongqiang to become a concubine, and if he struggles step by step, he may be divided into separate families after the next head of the family succeeds to the throne.
But an illegitimate child is an illegitimate child and will never have the right to inherit, which is the inheritance law recognized by the Federation and the Wizards' Association.
"Stygian snow, since I have tolerated him for so many years, I will not deliberately kill him." Zhuge Cuiye frowned, she didn't like her daughter to be too close to an illegitimate child. But now that the situation is special, she doesn't want her daughter to worry too much and affect her body.
"But ......"
The words that Yutai Shenxue was about to say were interrupted by Zhuge Cuiye, "It is your father and the elders to let Qingying punish Styx. β
Zhuge Cuiye pointed out the words straightforwardly. She didn't want to take the blame for that group of people, she didn't care what happened to the Styx, but she had to take into account her daughter's thoughts. And although she is the wife of the head of the family, she does not have the right to inherit because she has not awakened the space magic, and she is a girl and will marry one day, so she does not have much right to interfere with the resolution of the Elders.
Yutai Mingxue was stunned for a moment. Lowering her head that was a little drowsy due to fever, she was silent, and her hand holding the quilt tightly showed that she was not in a calm mood, even though she had long expected that the Styx would be punished. But it really became so serious as she said, and it couldn't be accepted all at once.
In addition to the members of the military intelligence department, other personnel are also engaged in private intelligence business. Sold to other persons such as the House of Elders and the Administrative Office. The third district is naturally no exception, and there are intelligence spies from the Shantai family.
After entering the school in the Dark Snow of the Shodai. The manpower arranged by the Shantai family in the third district has doubled, and after the Shangguan family launched the surveillance of her, the manpower of the Shantai family has doubled again, and it can be said that every move of their sister and brother in the third district has been reported to the family.
And the person who listened to the report was probably not alone!
Shentai's body shook, a flower in front of her eyes, and her hand grabbed Zhuge Cuiye, the chic and free in the past turned into delicate and fragile, with a trace of fear in her voice: "Mother......"
"Stygian snow. What's wrong? Zhuge Cuiye looked anxious, and hurriedly leaned over to support Mingxue's body.
"Ask Mother to keep the River Styx." Shenxue couldn't see her mother clearly. But if Mother doesn't care, Styx will definitely die. Whether it is really dead, or it is erased from the traces of its existence in the world.
Zhuge Cuiye felt the heat in Styx's hands and the panic on his face, and a wave of dissatisfaction rose in his heart towards the Styx.
Last time, he didn't fulfill his duty as a guard to protect Shen Xue, for the sake of his daughter's awakening of space magic, she endured it, and now Shen Xue fainted because she was worried about his condition, which was absolutely unbearable. Zhuge Cuiye was secretly ruthless, if the Styx Snow had three longs and two shorts, she would have to pay the price for the Styx!
"Mother......" The voice of the snow turned into a mournful scream!
"Okay, I promise you!" Zhuge Cuiye couldn't bear to reply after all.
"Thank you, Mother." Shenxue's voice became lower and lower, and she fell unconscious again.
Zhuge Cuiye saw the beads of sweat on her daughter's forehead again, and hurriedly stuffed her into the quilt, and suddenly found that the ends of Mingxue's hair turned back to blood red, and her eyebrows were raised, and she hurriedly ordered the accompanying family doctor to apply nutrient solution and anti-inflammatory water to Mingxue.
According to previous years, after waking up the next day, the disguised hair color will gradually turn back to blood red, this time on the third day of awakening, the hair will begin to change color, according to the proportion, doesn't it mean that it will be burned for more than 20 days!
Lan Yu pushed open the door and quietly walked in, calling in a low voice, "Madam! β
"What's the matter?" Zhuge Cuiye wiped the corners of his eyes that were a little moist because of worry and sadness.
Lan Yu is an excellent member of the Blue Department in the Seven Rainbow Divisions, and after Zhuge Cuiye married into the Tantai family, she served as her guard as a maid. If there is nothing important, she is not going to bother at this time.
"Shangguan Haohui, the quasi-heir of the Shangguan family, and Zhongli Baiyi, the first heir of the Zhongli family, are ready to come to visit Miss in the evening." Lan Yu handed the post to Zhuge Cuiye, such a character was not something that she could receive as a maid.
Zhuge Cuiye stuffed the changed hair of the snow into the quilt, opened the post and looked at it twice, "I know!" β
In the evening, Shangguan Haohui and Zhongli Baiyi visited the small villa of the Lantai sisters and brothers for the second time, but the person who received them was Zhuge Cuiye, and the two Lantai sisters and brothers were not here.
After the usual family etiquette and polite conversation, Shangguan Haohui was full of worry and offered to visit Shentai's illness.
After receiving the post, Zhuge Cuiye expected that there would be such a statement, originally she wanted to refuse, after all, Mingxue was already engaged, and when she was in a coma in bed, she was not accompanied by her fiancΓ© and accepted the visit of another excellent partner who was suitable for matching the marriage contract, which might have a bad impact.
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Cuiye had the same consideration as the Shantai Styx, because in the next three years, he couldn't avoid the Shangguan family's visit every year, especially when Shangguan Fengye had doubts about the identity of the Shentai Styx. The more you don't let him see it, the more suspicious he becomes, and it can end up being very troublesome.
"Yes, yes. But after all, there is a difference between men and women, so ......"
Zhuge Cuiye said that the meaning was still unfinished, but everyone present understood the implicit meaning of the words, Shangguan Haohui nodded again and again, claiming that he was just worried about the condition of his classmates, and he could rest assured to fight for honor after visiting the Seventh School before the war, etc.
Zhuge Cuiye nodded with satisfaction and looked at the child. Good image, politeness, on family background. In terms of magical strength, ranked by marriage partners, it is also one of the best in the whole federation.
It's a pity that his daughter got engaged to such a person?
It's terrible to think about!
"Mrs. Tantai?" Shangguan Haohui has a humble face, and his mother can push himself and others. No matter what kind of posture these ladies of the Federation show. But there is no simple one inside, so his gentleness, humility and deference are all sincere.
Zhuge Cuiye suddenly came back to his senses, and what he calculated in his heart was the same as what Zhongli Baiyi had considered, but in the end he felt that the possibility was too small and gave up!
"Please come with me!"
Several people went upstairs to the bedroom of Shentai Mingxue, pushed open the door and walked in, Zhuge Cuiye carefully checked whether there was anything missing before Shangguan Haohui saw people, and reached out to twist the quilt for his daughter. Smoothly put the outer ends back into the quilt.
Shangguan Haohui carefully looked at Yutai Mingxue's cheeks, which were flushed with fever, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The needle stuck in the back of her hand, the potion hanging on it, asked in a hurried tone, "Is she still feverish?" β
"yes, I don't know when I'll be able to retreat." Speaking of this, Zhuge Cuiye was genuinely worried, remembering the possible consequences of a long-term fever that the doctor said, he quietly turned his back and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Zhongli Baiyi took the opportunity to take a step forward, and it seemed that he was the same as Shangguan Haohui, looking at the Shenxue of the Tai Tai, but his body blocked the sight of everyone behind him.
Shangguan Haohui found that after Zhuge Cuiye turned his back, he reached out and quickly touched the wrist of Shentai Mingxue.
"Mrs. Tantai, then we won't disturb the rest of Classmate Mingxue!" Shangguan Haohui persuaded with a worried face: "I believe that Classmate Ying Xue will be able to recover as soon as possible." β
"Accept your auspicious words, I hope that the snow will get better soon." Zhuge Cuiye nodded with sadness on his face and led everyone away.
When Lan Yu gently closed the door, Shangguan Haohui couldn't help but look back at the platform Mingxue who was lying motionless on the bed, until the door was closed tightly and no one could be seen, then he lowered his head and followed Zhuge Cuiye downstairs.
Conducted a ceremonial communication again, Zhuge Cuiye said that with a young man like Shangguan Haohui, the third high school in the seventh school battle will definitely be able to achieve excellent results, but her daughter is not in good health and can't feel sorry for her alma mater, how to ......
Shangguan Haohui said how important the contribution of the student to the third high school and how important the position he occupies in the third high school, and said that the body of the student is important, and he will go all out to win the honor for the third high school in the seventh school battle......
Zhuge Cuiye thanked the Shangguan family for taking care of their daughter in the name of the Shantai family......
Shangguan Haohui said with dignity and dignity that it was natural for the Shangguan family to sit in the third district to maintain law and order and take care of the people in the district......
In the end, Zhuge Cuiye sent Shangguan Haohui away, and warmly welcomed him to come back next time; Shangguan Haohui said that he welcomed Zhuge Cuiye to visit Shangguan's house after he was in good health......
"Shangguan?" After leaving the villa of the Tantai family and walking a distance and finding that no one was following him, Zhongli Baiyi asked in a low voice, "How?" β
"High fever!" Shangguan Haohui pursed his lips, his visit today was still purposeful, but when his fingers felt the scorching body temperature, the original hypocritical worry became completely real.
Zhongli Baiyi frowned, this result was not in their imagination, according to the opinion of Lord Shangguan and his father, it was most likely that Shentai Mingxue, like Murong Tinghan, was a violent space magician created through magic experiments.
A magician who uses magic experiments to transform may have great power, but the sequelae should not be underestimated, such as Murong Tinghan's body is indeed weak, and he will get sick with fever almost every month.
From a normal point of view, there is no abnormality at all in the body of the Shenxue, but who would believe such a thing as an accurate period of weakness once a year?
Moreover, there has never been a violent space magician in the Tantai family for hundreds of years!
Therefore, their purpose is to find out the purpose of the "feigning illness" of the Shentai Xue, or to catch the evidence of the Tangtai family's magic experiments, after all, they have all seen the threat of violent space magicians.
But Shangguan Haohui's answer was "high fever", which means that what Tangtai Mingxue said is true, and the danger of a high fever not going away for a long time is undoubted, and it is impossible for the Tangtai family to joke about this kind of thing.
"I wonder what the news is from my father's side?" Shangguan Haohui said in a quiet tone.
The two of them returned to Shangguan Shi's house to meet Shangguan Fengye in the study, and after carefully reporting the details of the matter, Shangguan Haohui made a summary, "Yutai Mingxue is indeed in a coma with a high fever, and he does not perceive any abnormal magic. β
Shangguan Fengye put his hands on his sleeves, thought about it seriously, and looked at Zhong Liquan with an inquiring gaze.
"The news I got from the first district is indeed a problem that only appeared after the awakening of space magic, simply put, it is a fever and coma. When the first attack occurred in the first year, the family did not know the reason, so they found a lot of doctors to try to cure the snow in a big way, but unfortunately it did not work, and seven days later, the snow healed without medicine. β
"This matter is arguably well known in District 1." Zhong Liquan handed over the information in his hand, and continued in a cold tone: "At the same time in the second year, Shentai Mingxue fell into a coma again, and the symptom was still fever, and after the treatment was ineffective, the Shantai family had to admit that it was not a disease. β
"The conclusion?"
Shangguan Fengye's questioning made Shangguan Haohui and Zhongli Baiyi's eyes look at Zhongli Quan, they had their own opinions on this matter, but some secret information in the family was not yet accessible to them.
"Judging from the identity of the Shenxue and the current magical attributes of the Shentai Underworld, even if the Tantai family conducts a dangerous experiment of [creating a violent space magician], it will not use the Tantai Mingxue to experiment on the subject, even if it is really an experiment with her, after so many successes, the Tantai Underworld will not still have the inheritance of the Tantai family."
"Yes, I still understand Senior Sister Zhuge 's temperament, if the Shantai family really experiments with her pair of children, she can dismantle the Shantai family." Shangguan Fengye remembered Zhuge Cuiye's demeanor in college, and agreed with this point of view with palpitations, "Besides, Senior Lantai and the head of the Murong family are not the same kind of people at all.
