A year later.

The Imperial City of the Lotus Kingdom, and the City of Ti.

The city is located fifty miles west of the imperial city, and is named after a pond in the city.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a lotus flower once fell from the sky here, and it landed in a pool, becoming the only waterhole within a radius of 100 miles.

Due to the clear water, sweet and delicious, it did not take long to attract a large number of businessmen to move here, and in just a few years, it developed into an important town.

Later, after the Lotus Kingdom built this radius of 100 miles into an imperial city, this town was also upgraded to a famous city in the imperial city.

Although there are many villages and towns in the entire imperial city, it is the only city in the imperial city, and it is also the most important place in the imperial city except for the imperial palace.

As a result, many of the ministers of the court, including most of the civil and military officials, as well as famous merchants and literati from all over the country, lived in the city.

Since the Lotus Kingdom experienced a once-in-a-century Yin and Yang World Tribulation a year ago, in that month, almost everyone experienced an unforgettable experience of fighting their own blood battles in the underground world.

Half of them, in this sudden catastrophe, died because they failed to defeat their evil selves in the underground world.

It is said that His Majesty has no regrets, if it were not for the timely rescue of the goddess and the queen mother, he would have almost died.

Even the palace maids and concubines in the palace, and even the concubines have died a lot, including Concubine Yin, whose status is second only to the late queen's mother, who has not been spared.

The most regrettable thing for everyone in the world is that when this turmoil subsided, the goddess and the empress dowager disappeared!

Originally, the goddess Empress Dowager had defeated the evil self and survived, but because the goddess Empress Dowager was concerned about Her Majesty and the civil and military officials, as well as the safety of the people in the world, she worked tirelessly to take the surviving royal guards from the palace to the outside of the palace, shuttling from the underground world to the underground world, and enthusiastically helping others defeat the evil self everywhere.

As a result, when the underground world finally closed for a month, he failed to leave the underground world in time, so that he disappeared completely.

And those who survived were also seriously injured, probably because of soul fusion, and many people were left with sequelae, that is, they appeared to be unconscious for a long time, or even if they woke up, they also lost some memories.

Therefore, in the following year, in the first half of the year, almost every household rarely goes out, except for important things that must be done outside, usually at home to recuperate.

From the second half of the year, they gradually returned to their original normal life, the people began to farm, the merchants continued to do business, the literati and writers began to recite poems again, and even the early dynasty in the palace, which had been suspended for half a year, began to recover.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had gone out to travel and relax, also returned to the imperial city on time, and at this moment, standing at the gate of the city, he has become a little darker than a year ago, but he is obviously much more mature than he used to be.

He was still wearing an ordinary scholar's robe, looking like a child of an ordinary ordinary family, and he didn't have the habit of showing off his wealth and being a fool of those rich children.

In this year, he also experienced many hardships of life and death, and defeated his evil self with his own mind, so he came back alive as promised.

In fact, in this year, every time he went to a town, he would go to the best local restaurants and teahouses for the first time, and listen to other people's conversations, so as to understand the recent events in the Liansheng Kingdom, especially the things related to the palace, and pay more attention to them.

When the entire Lotus Kingdom was facing a crisis in the underground world, after he was out of danger, he also actively participated in the action of helping others to defeat evil.

So even though I've been away for a whole year, I still know everything about the Imperial City and what happened in the Imperial Palace.

The reason why he did not return to the palace to report to his father after returning to the Imperial City was because he wanted to visit someone in the most famous city of the Imperial City.

This person is a very inconspicuous blind mother-in-law, and it is said that no one in this world has ever had a problem that can stump her.

For Jun Buyu, who has been out silently for a year, there are indeed too many questions to ask in his heart, but he has also humbly consulted some eminent monks and reclusive wise men, although there is also inspiration, but the answers he heard are all similar, always making him feel that something is missing, and there is no sense of surprise that makes his eyes light up.

Moreover, he also knew that after he returned to the palace this time, his father and emperor would definitely urge him to ascend the throne immediately and take over the throne, and then he himself would leave the imperial city and go out to travel the world. First, I also want to relax my heart after working all my life, and secondly, I also want to go out to find his mother.

Because Jun Buyu knew that his father had always found it difficult to accept the tragic death of his mother, and every time he wrote a letter to him when he was traveling, the letter always mentioned that he had dreamed of his mother, so his father was convinced that his mother was still alive, but she was trapped somewhere and couldn't get out.

So he has to spend the rest of his life finding his mother, rescuing her, and then traveling the world together to fulfill the promise he made when he was young.

In this regard, Jun Buyu didn't know how to persuade his father, he knew that no matter what he said, his father would not listen to his advice, so he had to follow him.

Jun Buyu knew that once he ascended the throne, he would lose his free body forever, and he would no longer be able to leave the palace casually, dressed ordinarily like he was at this moment, and saw the world everywhere incognito.

At least for a short time, he didn't have to count on it.

Because when he returns to the palace, the first thing is the enthronement ceremony, and then the first draft after he ascends the throne.

After the draft, it is the selection of the crown princess, and after the crown princess is selected, it is estimated that at least half a year has passed.

During this period, he also had to complete the ritual of worshiping the heavens, the ritual of worshiping the ancestors, and in addition to the daily morning pilgrimage, he also had to review a large number of movements, that is, during this half year, he had almost no time to relax and do what he wanted to do.

It was with this mentality that Jun Buyu did not rush into the palace, but came to this famous city of Liansheng Kingdom.

When Jun Buyu just left the palace a year ago and went out to travel, because the death of his mother Nalan Qiqing hit him hard, so he just wanted to leave the imperial city quickly, so he didn't have time to go to the city first.

After all, as long as he is in the palace or the imperial city, no matter where he goes, Jun Buyu will remember the situation when the queen mother took him around to play, and every time he recalls these pictures, his heart will be painful because he misses the queen too much.

So at that time, he was bent on escaping these things, so he naturally left the imperial city directly without stopping.

Now after a year of arduous travel, Jun Buyu is no longer the young boy he was at the beginning, and his thinking is no longer limited to superficial phenomena, but he can see more deeply and thoroughly.

He also understands the burden on his body more clearly, and knows that in the future, the huge Lotus Kingdom will be decided by him alone.

In this way, every decision he made must not be hasty, otherwise many innocent people will die tragically.

That's why he decided to go to the city to see the famous blind mother-in-law before entering the palace, hoping that before he ascended the throne, he would be able to solve the doubts in his heart, so that he would not make fatal mistakes when governing the country in the future.

It's a pity that this blind mother-in-law in the city has always been haunted, and no one can tell exactly where she is.

If you want to see her, you have to depend on luck, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even more difficult than facing the saint.

And Jun Buyu also heard that this legendary blind mother-in-law also has a quirk, that is, she doesn't like gold and silver treasures.

This is not to say that it is free to ask her questions, on the contrary, she must have a satisfactory meeting gift before she agrees to answer the questions.

As for the number of questions answered, it all depends on the mood. If she is in a good mood, she will answer a few more questions, and if she is in a bad mood, then no one wants to hear a word from her.

The only way to make the blind mother-in-law feel good is to make her old man satisfied with the meeting gift.

However, half a year ago, when Jun Buyu was still traveling outside, he was already thinking about this special meeting gift, but helplessly, after almost trying all kinds of ideas, Jun Buyu still felt that he was not sure that he could impress the blind mother-in-law's heart in one fell swoop.

If the first meeting fails because of a gift, then with the character of a blind mother-in-law, it will be difficult to see her again in the future.

Now that he is standing at the gate of the city, Jun Buyu is also quite emotional and entangled, and he also feels a lot of pressure.

That is, whether to go directly to the city, or to secretly find out where the blind woman is again before entering the city.

He felt that he had been far away from the imperial city for the previous half year, so that the news about the blind mother-in-law that he had found out was inevitably very different.

Therefore, if you want to increase the number of things that satisfy your mother-in-law at a glance when you see your blind mother-in-law, then it is best to inquire outside before entering the city, so that you can know yourself and your opponent, so that you can win all battles.

Thinking of this, Jun Buyu did not rush into the city, but looked around near the city gate, wanting to see where he was going and who to find, so as to ask for the most valuable news.

First of all, he thought of the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army at the gate of the city, after all, they have been guarding this gate all the year round, whether they have experienced it personally or heard and witnessed, there are probably more things about the blind mother-in-law than outsiders.

It's just that the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army are inevitably too upright and not good at flexibility, and I am afraid that they may not be able to figure out the thoughts and preferences of the blind mother-in-law.

Therefore, Jun Buyu thought of the merchants who often went in and out of the city to do business, and the ordinary businessmen were usually very good at observing words and feelings, and also knew how to deal with the world, and often said that the advice would be more in line with the hobbies of the blind mother-in-law.

Thinking of this, Jun Buyu decided not to ask the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army at the gate of the city, but walked towards a lively market at the gate of the city......
