Chapter 31: The Marriage Contract
"You have to understand that the country and the beauty are actually not both."
He Qingping raised his head and listened carefully to Ning Xianghou's next narration, for fear of missing a word.
"After the imperial brother succeeded to the throne, I consulted with him and decided this family affair for you, the girl of the Mu family, at that time, she already saw that she was a beauty..."
When Ning Xianghou said the words "the girl of the Mu family", his tone became a little heavier.
He Qingping swallowed a mouthful of saliva and did not speak.
Ningxiang Hou glanced at He Qingping, "Do you know the kind of illness of the Mu family's woman?" ”
"What disease? Is Yanxi sick? He Qingping and Mu Yanxi were in the Qianran School Palace, but the two didn't have much contact, but he knew that Mu Yanxi was often sick and asked for leave, but it was inconvenient for him to ask about the specific illness.
Ning Xianghou said slowly, "To be precise, it's not a disease, it's just that in the eyes of the girls of the Mu family, you can always see something that ordinary people can't see." ”
"Oh?" He Qingping seemed to be particularly concerned about Mu Yanxi's affairs.
"Starting from the legendary woman Mu Tianfei who followed Emperor Gao, the girl of the Mu family seems to have suffered a curse, and every once in a while her body will be cold, and some vague shadows will appear in front of her eyes......"
He Qingping felt very strange when he heard this, and thought to himself how could such a detailed detail be known to the teacher.
Ning Xianghou saw He Qingping's doubts and said, "If we are not mistaken, it should be the 'Spirit Eye'." ”
"Psychic eyes?" He Qingping was a little surprised, "I don't usually see any difference between Yanxi?" ”
"That's because the Mu family has betrayed Van Luo now! They don't have the Key to the Spiritual Eye anymore. ”
"Betrayed Van Roe?" This sentence exploded in He Qingping's chest like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, "The Mu family used to belong to Van Luo? ”
Ning Xianghou nodded, "I later investigated in many ways, and I was able to confirm that the ancestors of the Mu family belonged to Fanluo, and they were a branch of Fanluo's 'mirror' department, and later because of different concepts, they betrayed Fanluo, but they failed to bring out the 'Key of the Spirit Eye', which led to their 'Spirit Eye' being considered a disease, which is really ridiculous." ”
"What's the use of the Spiritual Eye?" He Qingping asked, feeling that this was the crux of the matter.
"Foreseeing danger... If you open the spiritual eye, you will feel it when you encounter possible dangers, which is an extremely strong perception ability. But ......" Ning Xianghou paused, "The spirit eye is too negative, and if there is no neutralization of the 'Spirit Eye Key', it will have no use except for the cold on the body." ”
"And what is the Key of the Spiritual Eye?"
To He Qingping's surprise, Ning Xianghou shook his head this time, "I don't know, it could be a book, it could be a medicine, it could be something else... But we at least know the 'Key to the Spiritual Eye', and now those Mu family members don't even seem to know this, and they are stupid to think that the women of their family have a strange disease that causes colds on their bodies. ”
He Qingping was silent.
"Qingping..."Ningxiang Hou said, "Your marriage contract with Mu Yanxi, Mu Xiangye was opposed at first, but he couldn't resist the imperial brother's holy decree, and we let you marry Yanxi precisely for this 'spiritual eye'." ”
He Qingping's heart pounded when he heard this, and he knew that Ning Xianghou had finally begun to explain the marriage contract.
"We have to do a lot of things next..."Marquis Ning Xiang looked into He Qingping's eyes, "Assisting you to ascend the throne is only one of them, or rather, the most insignificant one. In the Qianran Underground Palace, there seems to be something about the 'Key of the Spirit Eye', and our people have already found out. ”
He Qingping asked, "What kind of organization are we?" ”
Ning Xianghou's eyes flickered, "You don't have to know this now." Let's move on to the marriage contract, when you marry Yanxi... We need you to use your status as a husband and wife to take her to help me on some missions, and in the end, we may have to sacrifice her! ”
Hearing this, He Qingping felt that all the heat in his chest seemed to be sucked away all at once, and the air was cold.
Ning Xianghou glanced at He Qingping, "I didn't need to tell you this last sentence so early, but I want you to know that if you can't even bear this little bit of affection, then I really misjudged you." ”
He Qingping didn't say a word for a long time.
"It's no big deal, it's time to put it down." After Ning Xianghou finished speaking, he strode away.
He Qingping was in a daze, "What are you thinking?" You can marry her, this is your blessing, it wasn't yours in the first place, so it doesn't matter if you lose it, and you are so sad, what are you thinking? ”
……
The living room of the He family.
He Jinyang carefully helped He Nuo bandage the wound on his leg, He Nuo saw that his father's sideburns had been dyed white, and thought: "I'm so old, it's really unfilial to not let my father worry." ”
Yu Ru handed over some bandages and pills to the side.
He Nuo has clearly felt that his mother seems to have changed a lot recently, he can't tell what it is, he still has the same words and the same actions on weekdays, but He Nuo can clearly feel that she is less close to him and a little more polite.
The small changes of the mother, when the son, can be seen.
"At this time, it should have been a more attentive mother who came up to help me bandage my wounds." He Nuo thought to himself.
"That's it!" He Jinyang breathed a sigh of relief, "The wound is not deep, I asked Imperial Doctor Liao for some unique trauma medicine of the Liao family, the injury should be very good soon, and it is okay to barely walk in the past few days, but you can't participate in the next martial arts competition." ”
He Nuo had no regrets, "After winning He Qingping, I am already in the top ten of the martial arts competition, and I am already qualified to enter the Qianran Underground Palace!" ”
Hearing this, He Jinyang looked at He Nuo, his eyes changed, "Tell me about your sword technique?" ”
He Nuo didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he told He Jinyang how to get the bamboo slips that day, how to practice, and the ins and outs.
After He Jinyang listened, he pondered for a moment and said, "You bring the bamboo slips over and I'll take a look." ”
He Nuo nodded and took He Jinyang to his room.
He Nuo hid the bamboo slips in the secret cabinet under his bed, which was a very secret place, and he often used this place to hide some of his small objects when he was a child.
When he arrived at the house, He Nuo carefully took out the secret cabinet and prepared to take out the bamboo slips from it.
But what made He Nuo feel unexpected, the bamboo slip actually disappeared!
Seeing the empty dark cabinet, He Nuo was taken aback, thinking to himself who took the bamboo slips? Are the person who took the bamboo slips and the person who sent them the same person? Also, how was his secret cabinet discovered?
Too many doubts surged into He Nuo's mind.
He Jinyang saw this scene, and said silently: "Nuo'er, I think you have become someone else's pawn, this time in the Qianran Underground Palace, you certainly have the opportunity to go, but don't go, it may be very dangerous." ”
He Nuo shook his head, "What is there no danger to do?" And my father was wronged in the Qianran Dungeon back then, I want to help you wash away your grievances....... and ......" The stubbornness in He Nuo's voice went up again, "I myself have a lot of doubts, and I want to find the answer in the Qianran Dungeon!" ”
