The Imperial City of Liansheng Kingdom, the residence of the Gu family.

At this moment, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and the sky was a little hazy, but the fog was very heavy, so it was almost impossible to see too far on the street next to the mansion, even if the two pedestrians were very close, they could hardly recognize each other's appearances.

There was a young woman who was walking unhurriedly along the street in the direction where the valley was located, and whenever she noticed other pedestrians on the opposite side, she would deliberately avoid it, and wait until the other party had passed, and then continue walking towards the valley.

This woman was none other than Gu Qin, who sneaked into the Snow Lotus Palace in the palace last night, and under the guidance of the road map on a golden silk handkerchief, she successfully entered the underground secret room of the Snow Lotus Palace.

As she walked through the passage of the secret room, she recalled with emotion the legendary experience that her grandmother had told her about her youth, when a strange fragrance wafted in, and she smelled it, and instantly lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a secluded meditation room in the palace, with no one else around, clutching a small wooden box tightly in her hand.

She opened it curiously, and almost shouted out in surprise, because what was in the small wooden box was the Fengming Golden Bead she had dreamed of.

It's just that she doesn't understand why she fainted not long after she entered the secret room, and when she woke up, she was in this remote meditation room. What I don't understand even more is who helped her find Fengming Jinzhu? He also quietly sent her out of the Snow Lotus Palace and came to this meditation room where few people came.

She was no stranger to this meditation room, because she had sneaked into the palace through the back door of this remote meditation room every time. After all, this place belongs to the scope of the cold palace, and it is full of disgraced concubines that no one cares about, and the royal guards rarely look at this place carefully.

In addition, the back door of the meditation room is a misty forest, there are many poisonous insects, no one can enter and exit the palace from here alive, and you can see people's dry bones from time to time inside, those are all concubines who came here from the cold palace, thinking that they could escape from here, but not only got lost, but also were bitten to death by poisonous insects, so even the royal guards on patrol never came here to check, so it naturally became the best route for Gu Qin to sneak in and out of the palace.

The reason why no one dares to enter the misty forest, Gu Tan can enter and leave at will, is because Gu Tan has a special body fragrance since she was a child, and this body fragrance will be very close to her if any poisonous insect smells it, not only will it not bite her, but it will obediently obey any orders from Gu Tan.

Even if Gu Tan let the poisonous insects climb into the fire by themselves, they would carry out the order without hesitation, so later Gu Tan was no longer afraid of any poisonous insects, but gradually learned to communicate with the poisonous insects, and let the poisonous insects lead the way for herself, which is also the reason why she was able to walk safely in the misty forest without being bitten by poisonous insects and not getting lost.

In addition to being excited, Gu Tan accidentally found that the sky outside was hazy, so she hurriedly put away the small wooden box, left the meditation room, entered the misty forest, and escaped from the palace smoothly under the guidance of poisonous insects.

After finally leaving the palace, she was also very scared, because fortunately she was already in the remote meditation room in the cold palace area when she woke up, and if she was still in the Snow Lotus Palace, she would be in trouble.

Because the Snow Lotus Palace is still some distance away from the meditation room, it is better to walk when it is dark, after all, the royal guards on patrol generally do not look too closely at the vicinity of the Snow Lotus Palace, and it is not easy to find someone sneaking in.

But if the sky is already hazy, even if the royal guards on patrol are far away, they can still see there, so Gu Qin is also silently grateful to the kind people who sent her to the meditation room in her heart, otherwise she can only continue to hide in the Snow Lotus Palace and wait until the evening before leaving.

However, that is not realistic, because the Snow Lotus Palace is made of 10,000 years of ice, and it is extremely cold inside, that is, her grandmother has the strange problem of being afraid of heat and not afraid of cold, so she can live for a long time, and if she stays in it for too long, she will freeze to death.

When she came to the main gate of the valley mansion with palpitations, she did not knock on the door directly, but cautiously looked around, and when she confirmed that no one was nearby, she took out a very delicate small wooden box from her arms, that is, the small wooden box that was already in her hand when she woke up before, and after she opened the small wooden box carefully, she picked up a small crystal clear gold bead from it.

This little gold bead is brilliant, it is very good-looking, if you look carefully, you can also see a phoenix flying slowly in the gold bead, if you calm down and listen, you can faintly hear a slight phoenix chirping.

The woman admired the gold bead in her hand, put it in her ear and listened for a while, and said softly with praise: "It is worthy of the Fengming gold bead, it is indeed extraordinary." While there is a white fog now and no passers-by pass by, it is better to try if this Fengming Golden Bead is as magical as Daddy said. ”

After saying these words to herself, she gently raised her white jade hand, slowly stretched the small gold bead in front of the phoenix pattern carved on the door, looked at the sunken position of the phoenix's eyes, and slowly embedded the small gold bead into it.

At first, the small gold bead looked larger than the phoenix-patterned eyes on the door, which had to make the woman worry about whether it could be fully embedded.

Fortunately, as the little gold bead continued to go deeper, it was slowly shrinking, and finally it was completely embedded.

At the moment of embedding, the phoenix pattern on the door seemed to be alive, and a golden phoenix phantom flew down, flying up and down around the woman, and it seemed that the phoenix could be faintly heard chirping happily.

"Great! It's really embedded! Even the Golden Phoenix has really appeared! It seems that this is worthy of being grandma's personal treasure, and it is also the heirloom of the Gu family, and it is not in vain! I really can't imagine that today this girl can finally enter the most mysterious Heavenly Maiden Pool of the Gu Clan. I believe that at this time next year, this girl will be the authentic Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden bloodline! It's a pity that it's too late to see my father and mother one last time......" The woman whispered in surprise.

Before she finished speaking, she saw that her body became more and more illusory, and then suddenly burst out with a golden light, and then disappeared completely.

And the phoenix gold bead inlaid in the eyes of the phoenix pattern on the door was left on the door, still faintly flashing with golden light, but it was not very obvious.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Gu Qin disappeared from the door of the Gu Clan's mansion, two family members opened the door in a panic and rushed out, looking around blankly, as if they were looking for something.

Obviously, the golden light that erupted before also attracted their attention, and they hurriedly came to check.

It's just that Gu Qin has disappeared at this moment, so the two of them took a closer look near the door, and after finding nothing, they had to return to the door, planning to go back and report to the head of the family.

Unexpectedly, when one of the family members closed the door, he inadvertently glanced at the phoenix pattern on the door, and instantly became very excited, and pointed to the shining phoenix eyes and said something to the other family, and the family member was also excited.

Then, one of the family members stayed there, and the other family member hurriedly ran in to report to the head of the family.

Not long after, a middle-aged man rushed out, and when he came to the door, he gently took off the phoenix gold beads embedded in the door and the phoenix pattern in his eyes, and he couldn't help but cry with joy.

Raising his head again, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "That's right, it's Fengming Jinzhu!" Presumably, Qin Er must have come back safely, and she has successfully entered the Heavenly Maiden Pool. This girl is more anxious than me, a father, and she didn't come back to say a word, why did she go directly to the Heavenly Maiden Pool? Hey, it's better to go early, in this way, by this time next year, when she comes back, she should have completely become the blood of the Lotus Heavenly Maiden. In this way, she will be able to participate in next year's palace draft. Then in time, when she becomes the queen's mother, our Gu family will be able to return to its former glory! Let's hope all the best. ”

When the middle-aged man sighed, another young man who looked like a weak scholar rushed over and said respectfully: "Dad, when the child was copying the scriptures in the back mountain, he saw a golden light flashing at the door, so he hurriedly came to take a look, I don't know what happened here just now?" ”

"Haha! Feng'er, it's a great joy! Do you know, your sister Qin Er has successfully returned from the palace and brought back the Fengming Golden Bead, the heirloom of our Gu family. It's just that your sister is too anxious, and directly embedded the Fengming golden bead in the phoenix's eyes on the door, so at this moment, she has entered the Heavenly Maiden Pool to transform her bloodline. The next year, it's hard for her. This bloodline transformation is a very long and painful process, and I hope she can get through it. The middle-aged man said with a good laugh.

"So my sister is back? Hey, I also worried about her for a night, but unfortunately I was weak since I was a child, and I couldn't practice martial arts, so I could only copy the Peace Sutra for a night, to pray for my sister to turn evil into good fortune. If I had the physique and skills of my sister, I would have infiltrated the palace as my brother in the past eight years. Now that my sister has entered the Heavenly Maiden Pool, it means that everything should have gone smoothly last night. I hope that in this year of bloodline transformation, my sister will also go well. The young man also said in a rather self-reproachful tone.

He is Gu Tan's elder brother, named Gu Feng, his personality is just the opposite of Gu Tan, his scholarly anger is too strong, and his body has not been very good, but Gu Tan's daughter is more like a man, not only riding a horse and archery, proficient in swords, guns, swords, halberds, but also has a bold personality, informal, and quite a woman's momentum.

"Hey, your brother and sister are indeed reversed, it stands to reason that she should be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you should be proficient in swords, guns, swords, halberds, and all kinds of proficient, now it's good, she doesn't look like a lady at all, and she shows up all day long, while you stay at home all day, chanting poetry and painting, and you can't help your sister share some of the pressure at all. However, I can't blame you, when you were a child, you fell into the ice cave for too long to save your sister, and you couldn't afford to be seriously ill, and it was a blessing to survive later, how could you expect your body to return to normal. Well, maybe it's all providence. The head of the Gu family sighed and said.

Then, he turned around and went back to the house, and Gu Feng glanced meaningfully at the eyes of the phoenix on the door, and after a trace of firmness floated in his eyes, he also turned around and followed in.

The two family members hurriedly closed the door and left.

Just after the calm was restored at the gate of the valley mansion, on the street at its gate, not far away, there was a team that looked like a royal honor guard slowly walked over, followed by a luxurious carriage behind the honor guard, obviously from the outside just rushed back to the imperial city, because this road is also the only way to return to the palace.

And sitting in the carriage was naturally the goddess Empress Dowager, who successfully resolved the plague crisis in the northwest......
