It's a book with no title on the cover, and it looks a little old with a slight yellowish tinge. Apart from some wear and tear around the edges, no damage is visible, and overall this is a very well-preserved old book. A book that drew hatred from her convulsive mother and daughter was not funny at all. Qing Shu thought so, and glanced at Mrs. Li meaninglessly, then took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and opened the cover of the book with the handkerchief.

When the four big characters "Zhou Su's Codex" on the first page of the book came into view, Qing Shu thought that he was dazzled and misunderstood. But after looking at it, the four words of Zhou Su's codex were lying there very clearly, without any sign of disappearing. Zhou Su, Zhou Su, will it be the Zhou Su in Wu Mulan's mouth? What the hell is going on? She looked up at Mrs. Li with a puzzled look in her eyes, "What is this?" ”

Mrs. Li didn't speak, but her eyes staring at the four words "Zhou Su Codex" that Qing Shu turned out were very weird.

Qing Shu frowned, then returned to the book and turned the first page. Immediately, the four lines on the second page, which looked like a table of contents, made her gasp.

Past and present lives

Jing Fei's death

Prophecy: Those who win the phoenix win the world

To live is to die, and to die is to live

This, what is this? What is it? Qing Shu froze in shock and couldn't move.

"She's the bane of a qiē." Mrs. Li closed her eyes and whispered, "That day, we mother and daughter, who were desperate, went to the river, thinking that after jumping down for a hundred years, the suffering would be over. She came over, stopped for a moment on the bank of the river in a splendid dress, and then suddenly jumped down. We obviously went to seek death, but I don't know what happened, and in the end, seeking death turned into saving people. Our mother and daughter worked together to rescue her ashore and stumble back to the ruined temple where she was staying. ”

Maybe she shouldn't have died, but without a doctor or a decoction, she woke up after a day and a night. Obviously dressed gorgeously, and there were silver tickets and silver taels on her body, but she said that she had nowhere to go and asked us if we wanted to live together. After our mother and daughter returned to Beijing with her, she gave us silver. We wanted to redeem the original shop, but she didn't allow it, she accepted Begonia as an apprentice and instructed Begonia to open a dim sum shop. ”

"Because of her, our mother and daughter's lives have changed dramatically. I regard her as a benefactor, a nobleman, I regard her as the master, even if she is short-tempered, even if she always loses her temper with Begonia when she is in a bad mood, I am willing to serve her carefully every day. But she actually taught Begonia some strange things behind my back, and regarded the woman's boudoir training as nothing. I can't tolerate it, even if I'm called ungrateful, I definitely can't tolerate her teaching my daughter like that. I quarreled with her, I begged her not to be like this, Begonia was unhappy every day, until she died, and such days were over. ”

"Without her, I strictly controlled Begonia, and specially invited Mama Xi to teach Begonia. I feel like I'm getting better, and my begonias are finally like a lady of everybody. Who would have thought, she ...... She actually left such a thing for Begonia, and actually involved Begonia, who didn't know the sinister hearts of people, in a terrible thing. She is not a nobleman, she is the devil, she destroyed my begonias, harmed my begonias. I hate her, I hate the person who killed the begonia, and I hate you who live well. Mrs. Li pressed her chest and cried in a low voice, "My begonia died because of you, and it died because of you." I will not allow you to live in ignorance, I will let you taste the pain of not knowing the taste of food and not being able to sleep at night. I want you to live in fear all day long. ”

Qing Shu looked up expressionlessly, "In other words, the purpose of your trouble with me is to lure me to meet you, I guess right?" ”

Mrs. Li looked at her with teary eyes, "It's been a year late, you should have found me last year." ”

"Lan Linzi did things for you wholeheartedly, and he was put in prison at the moment of the incident. After all this time, why didn't you send someone to save him? Throwing away a loyal subordinate so lightly, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of other subordinates? ”

Mrs. Li pulled out a weird smile, "Don't you see it?" Then he whispered as if whispering, "The prophecy of the one who wins the phoenix will win the world, you'd better take a look." The answer you want is there. ”

Qing Shu closed the book and threw it in front of Mrs. Li with a snap, "I don't have the leisure to play mysteriously with you." Now that you have been determined to harbor the same ill will towards me as your daughter, you are welcome. Do you know? You don't need me to do it, as long as I send someone to let the news out, the book in your hand is enough to kill you. ”

Mrs. Li giggled, looking a little stunned. When she had laughed enough, she began to flip through the books. When she turned to one of the pages, she picked up the book, and the words were directed in the direction of Qing Shu, "Look at what is written here, give you ten dares, you don't dare to let people know the existence of this book." ”

Qing Shu looked back at her ill-intentioned eyes with sarcasm, "It's just a broken book written by an unknown person, no matter what is written in it, who will take it seriously?" ”

Mrs. Li read, "The daughter of the Gu clan is named Qingshu, and her life is strange, either as dust and mud, or as a phoenix. For the dust and mud, the fate is bumpy and difficult. For the phoenix, it will be the mother of the world. ”

Qing Shu's face changed greatly when he heard this, "It's ridiculous, it's nonsense." ”

"You think it's ridiculous, but no one else thinks so." Mrs. Li continued, "The daughter of the Huang family, Peony, is rich and noble, and she is suspected of being a phoenix. Qingyi, the daughter of the Zhou family, has a very peculiar life, and she is not a monk who can see her blessings, and she is suspected of being a phoenix. In the year of Bingxu, those who win the phoenix win the world. She closed the book, "This year is the year of Jiashen, and after the year of You, it will be the year of Bingxu." True or not, as long as the contents of this codex get out, you will die without a place to bury. ”

Qing Shu's hand under the table clenched into a fist. Yes, this kind of absurd thing is spread out, and a large number of people believe it. Those with different intentions and ambitions will use all kinds of means to get their hands on the three women with the names Gu Qingshu, Huang Peony and Zhou Qingyi written in the book. So, what would the emperor do with the owners of these three names? Kill it or get it into the palace? Now the means of the woman who sits firmly on the throne of the queen are relatively easy to guess, and she will definitely secretly kill the owners of these three names. Regardless of whether this codex was written by Zhou Su or someone else pretending to be Zhou Su, in short, the mind is very vicious.

When she was about to scold Mrs. Li for being a madman, the names Zhou Su and Wu Mulan flashed in her mind. Immediately afterwards, she thought of the inexplicable warning given to her by Wu Mulan: never marry before the age of nineteen. This year is the year of Shen, and she is sixteen years old. She was eighteen years old when she was in the year of Bingxu.

You cannot marry until you reach the age of 19. Is Wu Mulan's warning aimed at the absurd prophecy that "those who win the phoenix in the year of Bingxu will win the world"? Qing Shu's face was very ugly.

Satisfied with what she saw, Mrs. Li put the book back in the box, "It's quite smart, and I didn't get carried away because I was predicted to be a phoenix." If you want me to keep my mouth shut, you can, promise me two conditions. ”

Qing Shu glanced at Mrs. Li sharply, his right hand clenched the sword resting on the chair, and Huo Di got up. Instead of shouting, she threw a cold sentence at her usual speaking volume, "Die!" Then he straightened his back and walked out.

This greatly unexpected move shocked Mrs. Li on the spot, making her forget to react for a while.

Qing Shu walked five or six steps and stopped, turned around and walked back again. She stared at Mrs. Li at a loss, pulled her sword out of its sheath with a thud, and stabbed it out.

Mrs. Li screamed bloodlessly, rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot. If she hadn't been scared, she would have found that Qing Shu was scaring her.

Qing Shu withdrew the sword he had stabbed, opened the small box on the table and took out the so-called "Zhou Su Codex".

"Miss, are you alright?" Xiaojuan rushed into the house in a panic.

The eagleguard only glanced at the situation in the room and knew that his master was fine, so he stood quietly to the side.

Qing Shu sheathed his sword and threw it to the Eagle Guard. Then he opened the "Zhou Su Codex" with one hand in a standing posture and read it, and did not hear the sound of fighting in the courtyard.

Past and present lives

Jing Fei's death

Prophecy: Those who win the phoenix win the world

To live is to die, and to die is to live

Although it is listed as such on the second page, the contents of the Codex are scattered. There is not much content here in the past and present lives, and there is no name or title, and two pages of brief records of someone's life are written. People in this era may not be able to understand what it is writing, but Qingshu understands. If the guess is correct, the introduction of this past life and this life is not someone else, it should be the identity introduction of Jing Fei, Zhou Su and Wu Mulan in modern times.

The content at the back is really scattered, and the paragraph that Mrs. Li read just now is indeed there. But the content of Jing Fei's death is not. The rest of the content is like a diary kept by modern people, mainly to record emotions, and some are hearsay folklore recorded from east to west. Although it is not written directly, Qingshu can see that the author is looking for a way back, that is, a way back.

At this time, Qing Shu finally believed that this was indeed written by Zhou Su, a traverser. But she couldn't understand, she didn't know Zhou Susu, why did Zhou Su write such a text to harm her?

Qing Shu read the contents of "Zhou Su's Codex" word for word very seriously, and then gave an expressionless order, "Search, whether it is letters, or books, not a single one will be left." ”

The ancient butler happened to come in, and when he heard this, he personally led people to search room by room.

At this time, Qing Shu ordered Xiao Juan to wake up Mrs. Li.

Xiao Juan got the order, and brought a bowl of cold water and splashed it on Mrs. Li's face.

Mrs. Li woke up faintly, dazed and at a loss.

Qing Shu looked at her coldly, "What conditions do you want to talk to me about?" ”

Mrs. Li came back to her senses and saw that her maid and mother-in-law were not around, but Qingshu's maid and guard were in the house, and immediately realized that something was wrong. She didn't bother to wipe the water stains on her face, and asked nervously, "What did you do?" What did you do to them? ”

With a snap, Qing Shu threw the "Zhou Su Codex" in front of her, "A broken book also wants to threaten me!" ”

When Mrs. Li saw the book, her tone immediately became tough, "Do you think I'll be stupid enough to leave a back?" ”
