Chapter 374: Succession (14)
I saw that one moment it was a dilapidated and dilapidated cold palace, and the next moment it became a clean palace with a new whitewash.
On the tea table not far from Qiao Shi, a pot of hot tea was cooking, steaming hot, and the fragrance of the room replaced the smell of dust before.
It's just that there is no one on the tea table.
The withered banyan tree in the inner courtyard is lush and green, and there is no trace of half wilting.
"I didn't expect there to be anyone here who understands the formation?"
Qiao Shi seemed to mutter, although this formation is only a skin, it is also very rare, and the formation formed by using yin qi is really not visible to ordinary people.
The yin qi is strong, but it is not introduced by the formation, but like ......
"Ghosts?"
Qiao Shi raised his eyebrows, turned his steps, and walked towards the inner room again.
The inner room was separated by a door, and as soon as Qiao Shi thought about opening the door, the door was opened from the inside, and a young man appeared in front of Qiao Shi.
The young man was thin and small, his skin looked very pale, there was no blood on his face, and he could clearly see the green blood vessels under the skin, but his appearance was not bad.
The young man was not yet the height of Qiao Shi's shoulders, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes, as well as the worry and dodging hidden under his eyes, as if he was afraid of being discovered by Qiao Shi.
His gaze frequently moved back.
Worry?
Who is this worried about? There were still people inside.
Qiao Shi looked at the young man, and the young man couldn't even look directly at Qiao Shi, he just lowered his head timidly.
"You're hiding a ghost in there?"
Qiao Shi went straight to the point, the young man raised his head violently, and stared at Qiao Shi in shock and surprise.
At this time, an illusory figure also floated out from the back of the room, the figure was dressed in a flowing indigo robe, the long hair was tied by a hairband of the same color, a faint smile on the face, a bookish atmosphere, and a cinnabar mole in the center of the eyebrows was particularly eye-catching.
The youthful aura that was still timid changed, and he stared at Qiao Shi with gloomy eyes, and stretched out his hand to stop in front of the ghost.
"I don't care who you are, I won't allow you to touch him! Something is coming at me. ”
At this moment, the boy is like a little leopard, ready to go.
Qiao Shi chuckled.
"There are too few eyes in the heart, and as soon as they appear, all your weaknesses will be exposed."
The gentle ghost patted the young man's head, and the elegant voice seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
The boy bowed his head aggrievedly.
Qiao Shi was not interested in ghosts, but looked at the boy.
"What's your name?"
The young man didn't speak, just stared at Qiao Shi vigilantly, and Qiao Shi raised his eyebrows and looked at the ghost.
"Are you Yuan Mu? The King of the Yuan Dynasty? ”
"You know me?"
A flash of surprise flashed on the ghost's face, and Qiao Shi took a few steps back and sat down at the tea table.
"I've heard some rumors, but it's just speculation."
After all, the Ning Dynasty was established after the overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty, and the King of the Yuan Dynasty has been dead for hundreds of years.
"Sit down."
Qiao Shi generously stretched out his hand to invite someone to sit down, and did not have a trace of surprise and panic because Yuan Mu was a ghost.
Yuan Mu sat opposite Qiao Shi with the young man, and with a turn of his hand, a cup of new tea fell into his hand and sniffed the fragrance of tea.
A cup of tea soon lost its fragrance, and the young man obediently poured another cup of tea for Yuan Mu.
"I heard you talk to yourself before, do you know the formation?"
Yuan Mu gently sniffed the tea in the cup, and Qiao Shi took a sip casually and nodded, without any modesty.
"Yes."
Yuan Mu put down the teacup lightly, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
"Today, the queen is here for fear that she has something else to ask for."
Otherwise, ordinary people would have been scared away when they saw him, where could they stay so calmly.
"Indeed, this kid belongs to Ning Xuan?"
Qiao Shi looked at the young man again, the young man's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Ning Xuan, maybe more similar to Ning Xuan when he was young, but he had never heard that Ning Xuan also had a child in the cold palace.
When the young man heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then Yuan Mu nodded lightly.
"He is indeed the emperor's child......"
Although the two met for the first time, Yuan Mu didn't know why, he had an indescribable trust in the person in front of him, and soon told the cause and effect.
The young man's mother was originally the eldest palace maid next to Concubine An, but she was originally at the age when she should leave the palace, but she stayed in the palace forever because of the emperor's drunkenness.
At that time, An Guifei was not An Guifei, she was just a concubine, and she had to show a weak and kind temperament to the outside world, so in the end, she just sent the young man's mother into the cold palace to do chores.
Unexpectedly, because of that time, the young man's mother was pregnant, and in the end she could only give birth to a child in the cold palace.
"Why don't you go out?"
Although Ning Xuan is a scumbag, he loves all his children, as long as he finds out that this child is his, he will not deny it, he will not raise more children, and someone below will get money for him, what does he need to worry about.
Hearing this, Yuan Mu smiled bitterly, raised his hand and touched the young man's head, although he didn't feel any touch, the young man squinted comfortably, enjoying it very much.
"I want him to go out, but his birthday is not ordinary, so it's better to be comfortable in this cold palace."
Qiao Shi looked at this palace, in addition to the overgrown weeds in the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard was arranged quite warmly, and there were many precious ornaments, one of which Qiao Shi was particularly familiar with, it was the silver moon glass lost by the emperor a year ago.
At that time, Ning Xuan could be said to be furious, and searched with great fanfare for a month or two, but there was no trace of the last one, so he had to give up.
"So, you have stolen all the few things in the palace over the years?"
"Ahem......"
Yuan Mu covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his face was slightly red.
"Isn't it a hard time......
"I think you are much more comfortable than the Dog Emperor now, and you deserve to be the King of Freedom."
Qiao Shi teased and resolved the awkward atmosphere.
Yuan Mu glanced Qiao Shi up and down, and the surprise in his eyes was a little more.
"I look at you as if ...... Changed? ”
"Yes, it's changed, how can this cannibalistic harem not change, but you, do you want to leave here at any time?"
Qiao Shi's tone became low, as if with some temptation.
Yuan Mu paused for a moment while holding the teacup.
"You know?"
Yuan Mu's tone was not unexpected, but very calm, as if it were a narrative.
Qiao Shi got up and walked around, and finally stopped under the big banyan tree in the inner courtyard.
"Your bones are here, naturally you can't leave here too far, and you can only leave for a moment when the yin qi is at its worst in the middle of the year every year, if you want to leave here, I can help you."
"What do you want from me?"
Yuan Mu stood silently behind Qiao Shi.
Qiao Shi chuckled, but the words he spit out surprised Yuan Mu.
"I want that throne!"
"Empress?"
The young Ning Yang also walked in front of the big banyan tree at this time, staring at Qiao Shi in surprise.
Qiao Shi looked back at Ning Yang with a strange gaze.
"Yes, your Ning family's country, in return, I will help you...... How do you make your wishes come true? ”
