Chapter 576: Forbidden Fruit
Thinking of the past, the scavengers couldn't help but sigh.
If it weren't for the jade pendant sent by Qi Xuan, even he would have forgotten the past, let alone the child.
Now he thinks that the kid is most likely still alive, so he thinks...
"What do the scavengers mean?"
Chu Yu's face changed slightly, and his eyes became a little serious.
The scavenger nodded.
"That child should still be alive, this is the love token I gave to the woman back then, last night the prince of Qi Kingdom looked for the old man and gave me the jade pendant."
The Qingdao man took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Yu.
"The old man is helpless in the Chu State, and the only person who can be trusted is you, the prince."
The scavenger please, his face was a little haggard.
The mistakes he made in his youth should be borne by himself, and now that he is old, he will not last more than a few months.
If you can find this child and let this child become a new Taoist in the Chu Kingdom...
"Do you know what you're doing, scavengers? If people know that you are fornicating with others, not only will this child not survive, but you will too! ”
Chu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little colder.
Now that this child has not come to the door, he should not know, and if he does, he will be eliminated.
Violating the rules of becoming a Taoist but still becoming a Taoist is a shame for the Chu State, and the Chu Emperor can't stand this shame.
The person who was admired by him for three points actually violated the rules and enjoyed the treatment of a Taoist, teasing the Son of Heaven, how could he make him feel better?
"But the old man has been... There is no time left. ”
The vicissitudes of the Qingdao, Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the Qingdao's face was full of wrinkles, and he was not as young as half a year ago.
He has contributed to the State of Chu all his life, and he has been working hard for the State of Chu all his life.
"Don't hide it from the prince, old man, the old man only has three months at most, and the old man must see that child."
The scavengers raised their fingers tremblingly, and even their fingers were so thin that they were bones.
Chu Yu stared at the Qingdao man, his eyes were red, wrinkles appeared, and his hair was pale.
At this moment, he is not like a Taoist, but like a father.
For more than 20 years, since the last Taoist immortal fell, he took over the Taoist and changed his name to clear the name of the Taoist.
The lifespan of every Taoist is not long, because it will reveal the secret of heaven, so after taking over, you have to find a smart person to teach from a young age.
But how many years he has been looking for this smart person, there is no one else but Yongshuo, so he has not found anyone to take over.
Moreover, Yongshuo's special identity is the princess of Chu State and her daughter, how can she be allowed to serve as a Taoist? This makes people laugh out of their big teeth, and it will make people think that there is no one in Chu State.
If the child were still alive, what would he have been able to see?
It's his child, and it must be the same as him.
Now he pinned his hopes on that child.
"Lord Wang, the old man begs you."
The scavenger almost knelt down, but Chu Yu reflexively got up and hurriedly bypassed the table to help the scavenger up.
"The Qingdao people have never knelt down when they see the Son of Heaven, if they kneel to this king, will they not break the life of this king?"
Chu Yu helped the Qingdao man up, and the people who had always been high up knelt down and begged him like this, what could he do but agree?
"Then the prince..."
"This king promises you that he will find the child."
"It's just that people find out that the kid is related to the Qingdao people, I'm afraid it will cause a storm."
Chu Yu frowned and said worriedly.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and if you are not afraid of anything, you are afraid of 10,000.
He knows that the Qing Dao is looking for someone who can inherit the mantle, and the Emperor of Chu also knows.
What the Qingdao people are thinking Chu Yu can probably guess, but the risk is too great.
"No, those people won't know."
The scavenger affirmed, this affirmation made Chu Yu curious, but it was useless for the scavenger not to say that he asked.
"The kid has a scar on his back, which was cut by a branch when he was secretly sent out of the palace."
"The concubine-in-law looked for someone outside the palace to answer, and the people guarding the palace gate were opened, so that the child and the child's mother could leave the palace."
The Qingdao man recalled that because of this, he owed his concubine a favor.
But later, after the concubine gave birth to a child, she was framed for having an affair with the guards, and he could only repay Chu Yu for this favor.
It was also because of this that he came forward that day to vent the secret.
It was Chu Yu who asked him to come forward, but everything he said was true.
"If this king finds that child, he will send someone to contact you, and I hope that the Qingdao people can rest assured."
Chu Yu arched his hand, heard the word concubine, and his eyes changed slightly.
"In this way, there will be Lord Lao."
The Qingdao man breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hand towards Chu Yu.
The subordinate was already waiting outside the pavilion, Chu Yu picked up the jade pendant and stuffed it into his arms and left.
Looking at Chu Yu's back, the Qingdao man stroked his beard and sighed softly.
When his master took him as an apprentice, he only told him that they were different from ordinary mortals, mortals had seven emotions and six desires, and they did not have and could not have them, and his master did not say what were seven emotions and six desires, and out of curiosity, he tasted the forbidden fruit, and was afraid of being discovered, so he ignored the woman.
It's all he owes.
He also owes Chu Yu...
If it weren't for him, the concubine would not have been framed.
It's just that he can't say this, if he says it, Chu Yu won't be able to spare him.
People are selfish, he has been a mortal since he broke the ring, he has seven emotions and six desires, but he has always pretended, if he wants to find that child, he must use Chu Yu's help.
If anyone else, he is not at ease.
When he finds the kid, he'll be...
His gaze drifted into the distance, and even his soul disappeared.
"Lord Wang, where are we going now?"
The palanquin man asked cautiously, seeing Chu Yu's frowning appearance, he didn't dare to offend.
He also felt familiar with the fortune teller in the pavilion, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Go home."
Chu Yu's warm voice came from the sedan chair, but it sounded a little strange to them.
"Get up."
As soon as the sedan chair man shouted, the sedan chair rose.
And the person who was staring at Chu Yu on the corner of the street was suddenly covered by someone, and before he could react, the hand holding the sword had been released, blood was splashed on the wall, and the person behind him let go of his hand, and the person had fallen to the ground.
Quietly, as if you hadn't been there.
Chu Yu on the sedan chair wiped his hands and chuckled.
Did those people sent by Chu Yan really think that he didn't know? In the past, I was too lazy to care, and when I moved, I would startle the grass.
But today is different, if Chu Yan knows about his meeting with the Qingdao people, Chu Yan will definitely send someone to investigate, and when the time comes, he will find out any clues, and it will be the Qingdao people who will be involved.
Anyway, Chu Yongshuo would also tell Chu Yan about the person he installed next to her, and once Chu Yan knew that he was pretending to be before, he would think that he should have some strength in his hands.
Sooner or later, you have to know, and what about knowing sooner.
But it was his princess, who missed him for many days.
……
In the Xiao Mansion, the maids and the family were busy looking for people, and even the old lady was alarmed.
As soon as I drank the medicine brought by Wen, I heard someone shouting outside, and the little young master was gone.
These words frightened the old lady, and hurriedly lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, only to hear that she only muttered a few words when she heard that Lian was crazy, but when she heard that the little master was gone, she was so shocked that she got up from the bed, which was enough to see the gap.
She also appeared when Xiao Wanqing died, but she never came forward for the funeral, and even asked Mama Li to send the paper, and sent some silver.
Now that her grandson is gone, she is more anxious than anyone else.
"Little master, why is the little young master gone!"
Wen helped the old lady, and the old lady held a cane in her other hand, strode to the next person, and asked anxiously.
He looked nervous and hurried.
"Old lady Qiqi, the slave and the slave don't know, the slave and the maid are in a hurry to go to the toilet, and the little master will be gone when he comes back."
"The little master has only been a few months and he doesn't grow legs, how can he not see it!"
The old lady was anxious and didn't believe what the nurse said.
This house is full of their own people, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and took away the little master!
"I'm still stunned about what to do, why don't I hurry up and find it! Don't show up in front of me if you don't see you, little master! ”
The old lady said angrily, gasping for air with anger, her chest heaving.
"Mother, don't be nervous, Zeon must be fine."
Seeing the old lady's excited appearance, Wen's hands and feet were still cold, and he held her hand tightly for fear that something would happen to her.
Now there are a lot of things in the house, but there must be no more accidents.
"Xiaodie, you should hurry up and find it, why did Zeon suddenly disappear suddenly."
The old lady held Wen's hand, and Yuan also cried because of his son's disappearance, and also looked for it with the maid, and almost fainted.
Xiao Zeen is her life, and she finally gave birth to a boy for the Xiao family, but nothing can happen.
"Don't worry, I'll go find it."
Wen shook the old lady's hand and hurried to other places.
"Found it, found it! In the courtyard of the third lady! ”
I don't know who shouted like this, everyone hurried to Lian's yard, only to see a few maids and family members surrounding Lian's, trying to snatch the child back from her hand, but Lian's hugged it too tightly, and they didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of hurting the child.
"Wanqing, what do you want to do to my Wanqing."
Lian protected the child, and the child cried and cried miserably.
But as if she hadn't heard, she held him in her arms as if she were her own child, and covered him tightly.
Nervously, as if she thought the person in front of her was a bad person, as if these people would rob her child.
The old lady didn't know who shouted, and then went to Lian's yard with the support of Mama Li, and the Yuan family was the first to go to the courtyard after hearing the news, and was very distressed to see her child being tortured by Lian's like this.
"Sister, sister, that's not Wanqing, that's Zeen, it's my child."
Yuan Shi cried, if it wasn't for the maid next to her to stop her, she really wanted to rush up and snatch the child back.
Lian's loss of Xiao Wanqing She also felt pity for her, but Zeen was her child, and she would not let Lian go if anything happened to her child.
Yuan's voice trembled, her child was only a few months old, and she would be suffocated to death sooner or later if she was covered like this.
When the old lady came, the courtyard gate was surrounded by many maids and family members who watched the excitement, and when they saw the old lady coming, everyone got out of the way.
Wen and Hu also rushed over when they heard the news, and when they saw that Lian was out of control, they were worried that Lian would hurt the child.
"Fourth sister, fourth sister, what can I do here!"
When the Yuan family saw Wen coming, he put all his hopes on Wen.
Only Wen can help her save the child.
"Wanqing is good, it's okay, it's okay, don't cry, don't cry."
Lian lowered his head and stroked the child's face, who knew that the child cried louder and harshly.
Even his voice was hoarse, but Lian didn't realize what was wrong.
