Chapter 154: The Fog of Truth
"How about me and Queen Mo?"
Chen Tongsheng sat on the stool and didn't look good, and wanted to cross her feet, but because her legs were too short at this time, she lifted her legs twice, and her body was about to fall off the stool and chair.
The palace people in front of them looked at each other, not knowing why Chen Tongsheng suddenly called them to ask about the reason for this.
Kiryu has always been extremely rebellious and indifferent in their impressions, her indifference is not turning a blind eye to you, nor is she silent, her indifference is more reflected in the indifference to the pain and embarrassment of others. Most of the palace people around her who have been doing it for a long time have been embarrassed or sarcastic by Kiryu, and they only sigh that fortunately, Kirisei only grabs the Qinglin around him on weekdays and tosses them, and ignores them.
In this worried mood, the palace people looked at each other for a long time, and no one dared to speak first, until Chen Tongsheng patted the table a little impatiently, and only then did a palace person open his mouth with determination: "I don't know the specific slave, but since Queen Mo entered the palace, she has come to the palace to see you several times, and you often go to find Queen Mo, want to come...... The relationship is not bad. β
"What do you think?" Chen Tongsheng ordered another person.
The others immediately nodded.
Chen Tongsheng beckoned those palace people to disperse, and then she turned around and showed Song Chuanbai a look that was really like this, and asked with a smile: "Does Master Hou know how I asked the emperor about Empress Mo?" β
Song Chuanbai raised one eyebrow and cooperated with the question.
"The first sentence I said, 'Your Majesty once married a queen surnamed Mo'," Chen Tongsheng's smiling lips outlined a sharp arc, and the expression was very abrupt on her immature face at this time, but it made people clearly realize that the person in front of me was not the violent and perverse daughter of the priest of the Northern Dynasty, but Chen Tongsheng, whom Song Chuanbai knew: "If I had really been friends with Empress Mo, or as they said, I had more than one contact with Empress Mo, I wouldn't have asked Chen Ke with that tone and those words." β
Chen Tongsheng said: "What kind of person am I as the daughter of a priest, Hou Ye has seen it, and it is impossible to have any dealings with a person who doesn't like or is not close," she said here and suddenly had a sense of division, although it was all herself, but because of the loss of memory, now she and the once young her have to be separated, as if she is talking about another person.
"And if I really have a good relationship with Queen Mo, then I will directly say her life, or question Chen Ke, instead of saying this kind of tentative inquiry like a person who seems to be unfamiliar with Queen Mo." Chen Tongsheng recalled Chen Ke's reaction and expression at that time: "So at the beginning, Chen Ke should have noticed that something was wrong...... If he's not stupid. β
Not long after his lover was killed by his own hands because of the flying light, the priest's daughter came to inquire about it, and her tone was so strange and weird, so if she was not suspicious, it really showed that Chen Ke's brain was not very good.
Song Chuanbai asked rhetorically: "Why do you want him to doubt you?" β
Chen Tongsheng rubbed his chin: "No matter how suspicious he is, at worst, he just treats me as a puppet, and he won't treat me like anything, but will doubt Xin Lan or other people around him." I don't know how long I'll be in this place, so naturally the sooner I teach them to conflict, the better, so that I can know more. β
"I learned the secret method from Chen Ke's mouth, and Xin Lan disrespected the god of Gala, and," Chen Tongsheng squinted his eyes and said as if remembering something, "I know where my two fathers and mothers don't fit." β
"Chen Ke and others believe that I am the son of Gala, and Xin Lan also said that I am just a priest born through her belly, whether her words came from the original intention or whether there are other reasons for the time being, but my identity must have affected their opinion of me."
Chen Tongsheng thought for a while and said: "It's about a sense of identity, since they think that I was born to be a person who should leave the Northern Dynasty and go to the homeland of Gala, they will probably only think that I am just living here temporarily, and my father and mother do not think of themselves as my parents, and the people around me naturally do not think of me as my relatives and friends." β
This is likely one of the triggers for Kiryu's violent personality when she was a child, but it's just speculation that she may also have been born with such a personality.
"My father thinks I should go back to Gala's homeland according to the rules, but Xinlan, she doesn't agree."
"Why?" Song Chuanbai said: "As a priest, why did she do such a thing that violated the rules? β
Especially in the Northern Dynasty, which values the god Gala so much.
Song Chuanbai looked at Chen Tongsheng's face and showed a confusion that she had never had since entering the Northern Dynasty, she looked up, blinked and was silent for a while, before saying, "I don't know." β
Who is credible, who is not credible, even Chen Ke can lose his temper with truth and falsehood, and disguise himself as if he was set up by Chen Tongsheng as a clean illusion, even Xin Lan, who is the biological mother, has so many incomprehensible words and behaviors. Even as a biological father, the man in the temple did not say a word to her from her father's position for anything other than sacrifices.
If Kiryu is sharp enough and wise enough, then she will definitely understand the taste of resentment and loneliness long before the other children.
Except for the servants around her, no one would give her normal, reasonable affection.
Because from the very beginning, she was regarded as the widow of the god Gala thousands of years ago.
This may be why Chen Tongsheng reacted to the Northern Dynasty and emotional reactions to Gala's related matters, and really saw her long-dead family, but he was as undisturbed as a stranger.
Her parents didn't even leave such an impression in her heart, and they couldn't compare to Chen Ke.
When he came back here, he didn't know anything about these people like Song Chuanbai.
Without waiting for Song Chuanbai to say anything, Chen Tongsheng immediately came back to his senses, interrupted him, and said, "Now go to the imperial dining room." β
She jumped off the stool, and Song Chuanbai didn't have time to help her.
Although he is a little younger, his dexterity has not decreased, and he is still very lightweight, and he walks as soon as he lands.
The imperial dining room was not busy during this time, and when she saw the priest's daughter coming here, she asked for clarification, and hurriedly called the chef who was in charge of this matter to give Chen Tongsheng a good live performance.
Loose soup was something that every household would drink in the Northern Dynasties, and naturally there was a simple folk method. According to the cook, this loose soup is a drink developed by the ancestors of the Northern Dynasty people during their migration in order to resist illness, the method is extremely simple, refreshing and sweet, and easy to preserve, so it is gradually used and loved by everyone, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
Chen Tongsheng knew that he could dig deeper from this, so he asked, "Migration?" Where did you migrate from and why? β
The cook smiled: "Naturally, it is from the ancient wilderness. He saw that Chen Tongsheng was young, and he also said in a coaxing doll's tone: "Legend has it, there are insects and beasts everywhere in that place, and there are man-eating monsters everywhere, especially when you see a single child, you can swallow it in one bite, and there will be no bones left." The cook opened his eyes wide and made a "whoosh" mouth shape, and said with a smile: "Later, in order to protect a lovely child like a little nobleman, our ancestors moved their families, got rid of monsters, and arrived at this place safely, and settled down and built a country." β
Chen Tongsheng responded with a smile, thinking to himself, yes, they also met Galahia, one of whom was the emperor and lured her to help him fight the country.
In fact, she didn't understand the relationship between Gala and the man at the beginning, and she didn't understand the relationship between the Northern Dynasty and Gala, since the Northern Dynasty people were a group of people who migrated to a small country formed here, then why there was no unification.
Gala's age was long before the establishment of the Northern Dynasty, but Gala's tone towards the man was almost to the point of humility.
Chen Tongsheng twisted his eyebrows and thought, turned his head to see Song Chuanbai, and suddenly let out an "ah"!
It's her messing up.
She has always heard the man say to Gala, "I share the world with your surname" and the words he gave Gala's name, which was related to Gala's low mood towards him later, and replied, "I don't want to share the world with you", which made Chen Tongsheng think that the person who gave Gala's name was the same person who later Gara put down the chaos for him.
But what if not?
What if these were two people at all, if these were two completely different people in the substitute that Gala kept looking for?
She had speculated that Gala might have died at the hands of an emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and that the emperor had built a mausoleum for her called the Temple, but if so, how could Chen Tongsheng see that Gala appeared at the emperor's funeral and reached out to remove his mask?
The cook and Song Chuanbai were both startled by Fang Cai's shout, and turned their heads to look at him, but saw Chen Tongsheng asking the cook with a somewhat flustered expression: "Is there a record, when was the temple built?" Who proposed it? β
The cook replied, "It is said that he was the first high priest, and he disappeared soon after the temple was built, and some say that he is immortal, and after many years I saw him in the temple, and he was still the same as he was at the beginning, but in a blink of an eye, he disappeared." Later, for some reason, the second and third priests after him burned books about him, and did not teach anyone to record them, leaving only a book about the priestly calendar, and the stories passed down from mouth to mouth. β
The cook said and laughed: "We ordinary mortals can't have the ability to talk to the god Gala like the priests, so we have to pay special attention to the priests, if you go back and ask my mother, she can still count the priests of the past one by one and tell their stories." β
"Priest, what's your name?"
It seems that the priest really lived a very vivid life in the story passed down by the people, and the cook opened his mouth and came: "Yu Su." β
"The first high priest is called Yu Su."
For a while, Chen Tongsheng's eyes seemed to be full of snow-white wind and frost, and the wind roared, only the voice penetrated the hidden obstacles, and the haze that blocked from generation to generation reached her ears, as if that person was standing behind her in the frost and snow, leaning over and saying softly: "Look, only I have fulfilled my promise." β
This sits alongside the imperial power, and even overrides it, the fanatical and incomprehensible belief in Galashia.
I share the world with your surname.
Chen Tongsheng turned his head inch by inch, staring at the face of the person behind him.
She remembered the secret method implemented with the help of Feiguang, the trick that could change the tanuki for the prince, created a sixth princess, and created a crown prince with an empty body.
She knew who Song Chuanbai looked like.
It's not the Xiaobai in her dreams, it's not the emperor who has been masked off, it's not anyone else.
It's Yu Su.
Yu Yu used Feiguang to transform his face on the faces of others when he could not survive in the world normally.
He copied the boy in Gala's heart at the beginning, and then copied that face endlessly, like an undispersed ghost, a demon that has been going on for a hundred years.
