Chapter 10: Letter from the Hermit
Since the death of Yebaze, the glazed palace seems to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and the gorgeous and exquisite furnishings of the past seem to be covered with a layer of haze.
The servants bowed their heads and did their work, and Arnold also worked peacefully in the Hall of the Shining Sun. Yuan Shui still lives in Liuli Palace with the card, and has no intention of going back.
Father spent the whole day in the study with Asher, rarely appearing at the dinner table.
I finished today's lesson, and I went to the palace with Xifeng to find Xuan, and she was very sad all the time. When I saw her in the palace, she was already asleep, her face pale without a trace of blood. I walked over and stood by her side gently.
She was only two years younger than Shu. She was one hundred and five years old when she got married, and we were both one hundred years old, and I was a child when she got married. I remember her waving to me in her beautiful robes, and I smiled as she walked away. I didn't expect to come back again, I was already an adult, and there was one more person around her.
Yebaze's death was too sudden, and no one expected it. There has never been a funeral in the Liuli Palace in a hundred years. Now it is the death of the patriarch of the Yin tribe.
Xuan woke up and looked at me beside her, and she let out a low sob. I gently comforted her and wiped away her tears. Looking at Xuan's emaciated face, I secretly vowed that I must find the murderer and avenge Xuan. I stayed with her for a long time until she fell asleep again.
Out of the palace, I feel like I can't figure out a lot of things. Xifeng also felt that something was wrong. Ye Baze has been out of the Liuli Palace a few times, but he has always been with Xuan, and in addition, the two of them are in the Liuli Palace, and they have not seen him meet Yuanshui. Why does everyone think that it is the poisonous hand of Yuan's underwater. I asked Sister Yaoguang, and she said that Xuan also thought that Yuan Shui had killed Yebaze.
The more I think about it, the more I don't understand.
The fog had shrouded for days, and the hermits had arrived.
Asher read for us: "My Yin clan patriarch sent his relatives to the Liuli Palace, but he actually died, and the palace master is unavoidable. A month later, the new patriarch Yeqi succeeded him and sent an envoy to the Liuli Palace to investigate the ...... of the death of the former patriarch. Asher said, with a stern expression. The father motioned for him to continue. "I heard that the third daughter of the palace master of the Liuli Palace is gentle and generous, like the moon, and when the messenger arrives, he will see the beauty and ask for a kiss to welcome back my hermit. Patriarch of the Hidden Clan - Yaqi. Asher's voice trembled. The letter of the hermit then turned into a cloud of qi and disappeared,
"No, you can't let Ji go to the hermit, no..." Xuan on the side suddenly yelled, like crazy. Her mother immediately hugged her, brushing her long hair, Xuan broke free from her mother's arms, shouted loudly, and ran to the side to grab Ji.
None of us understood why Xuan was like this. thought that Yebaze's death had stimulated Xuan. Ji Ai hugged Xuan lovingly, and said, sister, Ji is not going, Ji will accompany her sister in the Liuli Palace.
The father let out a long sigh, extremely heavy. Let the mother take Xuan back to the palace first. Until leaving, Xuan never let go of Ji's hand.
When they left, Asher spoke, "The hermit has always been strong and ruthless, even Yebaze is dead, the bones are not cold, and the murderer does not know, so he immediately let Yeqi succeed him as the new patriarch." I also want to marry the third lady. That's a nuisance. ”
"What can Asherko do?" Father stood with his hands behind his back, Asher thought for a moment, and then listened to his father, and nodded. I asked my father, would he let Ji go to the hermit? Ye Baze is naturally not that important, the envoy came to investigate by himself, the Liuli Palace is here, but Ji is my sister, Xuan has been taken away for so many years. Will his father let Ji continue Xuan's path for the sake of the family?
With the death of Yebaze, I gradually understood that the reason why Liuli Palace has always existed is because of the interests of those strong people. If the Liuli Palace did not have rich wealth and the support of these excellent sons and daughters, it would be difficult to exist in the Ethereal Continent and among the supernatural beasts.
My father didn't answer me.
It seemed that he was determined to let Ji go. I returned to the Bright Sun Hall disappointed, lying on the bed tired, recalling over and over again the joy of my seven sisters and I when I was a child. At that time, my father still had a smile, and there were not so many rules in the Liuli Palace, but now, this gorgeous palace has gradually become a shackle, binding my father, and soon I will soon be bound .......
