Chapter 324: Extra-Thirty-Nine
But what kind of organization is this Blazing Gate?
Actually able to protect them under the imperial power?
Raising his eyes, Su Mingyu seemed to look at Xiling Yue suspiciously.
Xi Lingyue saw the doubts in her eyes, so she withdrew Luo Hongsleeve and Shi Ziwen.
"Miss Luo, Doctor Shi, you go down first, this king will call you again if he has something."
Xi Lingyue raised her hand slightly, and Luo Hongsleeve and Shi Ziwen retreated.
Then the purple pupils flowed, and a faint glow flickered.
"Yu'er, do you really want to know about the Blazing Flame Gate?"
Su Mingyu chuckled.
"Those who know me, Xiling Yueye. Tell me, I'll hear it. β
Xiling Yue scratched her pretty nose dotingly.
"Sit down and listen to me tell you slowly."
"Okay." Su Mingyu didn't say much, she sat silently on the side, waiting for Xiling Yue's story.
Xiling Yue's sword eyebrows flashed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he began to speak.
"The founding ancestor of the Blazing Gate is called He Xinqin, and she is also the grandmother of this king."
Oh? And this origin exists. Shu Mingyu raised her eyebrows and listened carefully.
Xiling Yue continued: "This grandmother of this king hates things that are modest, she has always behaved perversely, behaves casually, all according to her personal preferences, and is hostile to the decent people in the rivers and lakes, but she is admired by the strange people in the rivers and lakes, who defect to the blazing gate and are willing to obey the drive of her grandmother. β
She admires such a free and easy woman.
Su Mingyu's eyes lit up, and the smile naturally flowed out.
"What else?" She couldn't help but urge.
Then, because of the addition of strange people, the power of the Blazing Flame Gate developed more and more, like the sky, and gradually could go hand in hand with the Taishan Beidou Wudang Shaolin at that time, and it was a force that could not be ignored in the martial arts. In addition, in the Blazing Gate, there are many talents, business masters, involving various industries, and almost controlling the economic lifeline of most of the dynasty. The status of the rivers and lakes coupled with the economic status, the expansion of the Blazing Flame Gate not only threatened the five major sects and eight gangs of the rivers and lakes, but also became a major problem for the imperial court. Xiling Yue seemed to fall into memory.
"What's next? Are there bad guys starting to design blazing doors? β
Shu Mingyu blinked, and she inferred consciously.
Xiling Yue's slightly cool thin lips flashed with a light light.
A pair of ice-purple pupils, rippling with thin ripples of water.
"Yu'er, you're half right. It is true that someone calculates the Blazing Flame Gate, but the means used are the most clever. At that time, the first emperor Xiang Wen had just died, and the new emperor Ming Wang ascended the throne, and all forces were unstable, among which the highest opposition was the current queen mother's favored Jin King Xiling Jiyu. For the sake of the country, the father made the plan close to He Yuqing, who was visiting the scenery of the West Lake at that time, that is, the only daughter of her grandmother. β
"Of course, with your father's graceful and handsome appearance, how can your mother, a little girl who has just fallen in love, be his opponent. In the end, it is naturally your father who has both people and money, and is backed by the powerful force of the Blazing Gate. β
Su Mingyu pursed the corners of his lips.
"But men? It is the nature to like the new and hate the old, and the most ruthless emperor is the family, and when your father's status is stable, even the Blazing Gate will be destroyed by him. In the end, your mother lost her use value, and your father naturally snubbed her. β
Xi Lingyue looked at him with some disapproval, even if she said that part of it was the truth, he didn't agree that she could comment on the Ninety-Five Venerable so casually, and it was still in such a contemptuous tone.
"Yu'er." Xiling Yue's purple pupils darkened for three points.
Shu Mingyu knew that he was a little rude, and stuck out his tongue at the moment.
"Xiling, you go on, I just don't interject."
Xi Lingyue glanced at her, and he called out helplessly.
"Yu'er, in fact, my father is not a merciless person, his love for his mother, I heard Father-in-law Lu talk about it, my father was almost a favorite of his mother and concubine back then. It is precisely because of the favor of the mother concubine that the other concubines in the harem hate the mother concubine to the core. They tried every possible means to frame their mother, but they failed because their father protected them properly. β
But later, they found the only breakthrough, that is, when the mother concubine gave birth, they bought off the midwife, and designed the mother to die in childbirth. And although this king was born alive, he was also hated by his father from then on, because in the eyes of his father, if there was no birth of this king, the mother would not have died. β
At this point, a touch of sadness floated in his ice-purple eyes.
Su Mingyu quietly reached out and shook his hand.
"Yue, I don't think your father hates you, on the contrary, I think he likes you very much."
"Yu'er doesn't need to comfort me, Yue wants to open everything now, don't worry about me."
Xiling Yue's icy purple pupils crossed a warm light, and he smiled and stroked her green silk.
"Yue, Yu'er is serious. Think about it, your father loved your mother so much, but in the end she was killed by jealousy. Therefore, if he spoils you, he will definitely worry that you will follow in the footsteps of your mother. β
"So, he deliberately colds you, deliberately alienates you, and ignores you, although this way hurts people, but it just excludes you from the conspiracy and power, and protects you well."
"Taking a step back, if you are really the prince who has been snubbed, why does someone not deal with the other princes, but first deal with you, and must kill you?"
By now, Su Mingyu finally figured out what the emperor meant when he looked at her.
He was testing her, testing whether she would be unfavorable to Xiling Yue.
Xiling Yue's straight body stiffened.
Su Mingyu's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, waking up Xilingyue's memories for many years.
When he was young, no matter how hard he worked or how good he was, his father would never praise him, nor would he hug him or touch his head.
What remained in his memory the deepest was his father's cold face and indifferent voice.
Over time, he smoothed out the longing for father's love in his heart, and he was also indifferent to his father, he told him that he didn't care if his father liked him or not, and he didn't care at all.
But now someone jumped out and told him that his father actually loved him, and that was his way of protecting him.
"Yu'erβis it really, really, really possible that he likes me?"
Xi Lingyue opened his lips slightly in shock, and he muttered a little unconfidently.
Only now did he know that the desire in his heart had always been there, but he had hidden it deeply, thinking that he would not care about it.
As everyone knows, when I touch that crack lightly, I can't hold back my longing for father's love anymore.
"I think he likes you, Yue."
The bright streamer swayed in her bright pupils, and the corners of her mouth were curved with a smile arc, and her expression was peaceful.
Outside the door, a light footstep came, and then, Long Cheng was like a pitch-black and translucent iron rod, and he stood straight in front of Xiling Yue.
"Lord Wang, the emperor is here!"
Shu Mingyu gave Xiling Yue a look of grace, how about it? It's not that the emperor doesn't care about you.
As she saw for the first time, a corner of the bright yellow dragon robe came into her sight.
She quickly moved the chair and sat down for the emperor.
The emperor was still cold, and he glanced at Xi Lingyue lightly.
"Yue'er, are you alright?" A deep, indifferent voice.
There is no change in the eyes, but I always feel a soft light.
Xi Lingyue looked at his father who he admired, he couldn't react for a while, what his attitude was before, he was like that.
Now that he knows that possibility, he doesn't know how to face him.
"Yue'er?" The emperor seems to have moved a little.
"Father." In Xiling Yue's icy purple pupils, the waves were flickering, and the ripples were continuous.
The emperor was startled at first, his eyes vibrate, he looked at Xiling Yue fixedly, and his eyes were moved.
"Yue'er, it's been a long time since I've heard you call like this."
Shu Mingyu quietly withdrew from the study, she knew that at this moment, the two of them, father and son, must be used to how to get along.
So, she left them space, gently closed the door for them, and walked into the sun-drenched courtyard with a smile.
"Princess, are you here?" A crisp voice drifted into her ears.
Su Mingyu looked back and saw that it was Xiaohe, and was a little surprised.
"It turned out to be Xiaohe, is there something wrong?"
"Oh, Miss heard that Yunyin Temple is so effective, she wants to go there to offer incense, and by the way, ask for a good sign. Miss asked Xiaohe to come over and ask, and asked the princess if she wanted to go with her? β
Do you want to sign a visa? That girl, who dares to love spring, is ready to ask the gods for help.
Hehe-the smile on the corner of Su Mingyu's mouth couldn't stop flowing.
She said: "Go tell your young lady and tell her to wait for a while, this princess calls Xiaozhu, let's go together." β
"Okay, Xiaohe, I'll go tell Miss." Xiaohe smiled and left.
Su Mingyu turned around and called Xiaozhu and told her to prepare snacks and go to Yunyin Temple to thank the Buddha together.
Yunyin Temple, located in the northern suburbs of the Imperial City of Kyoto twenty miles away, the temple is built on the top of the mountain, the perennial Qing Xiling is entangled, the forest is lush.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can only see the corner of the left eaves of the temple with wings spread out and flying high, and the other buildings are as blurry as if they bloom in the Xiling, but they show the hazy beauty just right.
Stepping on the layers of stairs, I found that each layer of the stairs is a turn of 9981 steps, which means the truth that Buddhism is 99 to one.
The last time I came on a stormy night, Su Mingyu naturally had no time to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
Now that she came again, she took it for granted that she wanted to listen to the pine waves and enjoy the refreshing breeze on the top.
"Princess, why don't you go to the temple with Madame Bai to worship and ask for a good sign?"
Xiaozhu looked strangely at Su Mingyu, who was bathed in the breeze.
Since you have come to Yunyin Temple, don't you have to worship the Buddha first?
Why did her princess come to enjoy the scenery around her?
Shu Mingyu's eyelashes curled up slightly.
She turned sideways and looked at Xiaozhu with a sparkling eyebrow.
"Xiaozhu, if you want to ask for a marriage sign, this princess will not mind enjoying the beautiful scenery here."
Xiaozhu stomped her feet as if she had been stabbed in the heart, blushing.
"Princess, what are you talking about?"
