【Chapter 13】Behind the scenes, the fate of Li Yue
As soon as Duanmu Yun died, in the entire harem, the only person who had a relationship with the Duanmu family was Duanmu Yingshu, a show girl who had just entered the palace at the beginning of the year.
However, Duanmu Yingshu is only a side of the Duanmu family, and it is unlikely that she will know about "Taiyan Album", and she doesn't even have a position in the palace, and it is impossible for the Duanmu family to leak the secret of "Taiyan Album" for her.
I'm afraid the matter of "Tai Yan Yao" can only be put on hold for the time being.
Before Bai Liyue came to the Huadian Palace, Si Haoyan and Zuo Yichen were talking about the four-way gathering demon array.
On that day, Bai Liyue came out of [Li] and went to the Imperial Garden, Si Haoyan followed, and Si Haoyan also saw Bai Liyue's performance in the Imperial Garden that day.
On that day, Bai Liyue looked at the water lily for more than two hours.
That water lily is not a rare treasure, at least in Si Haoyan's opinion, it is not even a flower, and the appearance of lying on the lotus leaf softly, ordinary people will not pay much attention to it.
But Bai Liyue paid attention. Not only did he pay attention to it, but he also watched it for so long, which had to make Si Haoyan suspicious.
This imperial garden was originally rebuilt 23 years ago to celebrate the birth of the crown prince. In the past 20 years, the flowers of the Royal Garden have been in full bloom all year round, and they all say that God bless me with great enlightenment, the dragon spirit of the prince.
But Si Haoyan knew that this was not. The newborn milk doll, even if it has any dragon energy, will not specially bless a small royal garden, right?
In the past few years, he has been curious about the secret of this flower, but he has not particularly investigated it, after all, it is just an imperial garden, and it is not worth his trouble.
It wasn't until last year that Si Haoyan found out about Concubine Yun for the matter of "Taiyan Album", and found that every two days, Concubine Yun had to go to the peach forest in the Imperial Garden, stay for one night, and fall into a deep sleep directly after returning to the Yunyu Palace.
This unusual situation was broken one day by an uninvited guest.
That person is Zuo Yichen.
As the national teacher of the Great Apocalypse, his usual work is to watch the stars and ask the heavens. Every year, except for the sacrifice at the beginning of the year, on weekdays, this great enlightened national teacher will hardly leave the Star Palace.
But on that day, Concubine Yun fought with Zuo Yichen in the peach forest. A dozen is a night.
Until sunrise, Concubine Yun suddenly collapsed in the fight and fell asleep on the ground paved with peach blossom petals.
Si Haoyan watched them fight all night in the Four Seasons Pavilion, and did not deliberately avoid the two. Concubine Yun that night was very fierce, but Zuo Yichen was just tempting.
In the end, it was Si Haoyan who asked the palace people to send Concubine Yun back, and he himself turned into the Star Palace Xingshi to ask for guilt.
The result of the questioning also shocked him, Zuo Yichen had already known that Concubine Yun was sick, and what did he say about "ghost clan" and "demon clan".
What a joke, how could the Great Apocalypse have such an unheard of creature?
It wasn't until yesterday that he believed Zuo Yichen's words.
Yesterday, it was he who accompanied Bai Li to visit the Yunxue Hall at night, and it was he who asked the question himself.
"Are you a hidden ghost?"
He still remembered that although he hadn't specifically mentioned it to Bai Liyue, Concubine Yun's breathing did stagnate for a moment yesterday. And that moment of stagnation, that is, the moment when the mantra disappears.
He wasn't sure if the mantra had failed, or if there was something else going on. But at that moment, he suddenly believed what Zuo Yichen said.
A person who has been a national teacher in Daqi for fifteen years seems to have no reason to tell such a lie to him, a prince.
Si Haoyan seemed to be making an important decision, and Bai Liyue and Zuo Yichen did not urge.
Si Haoyan knew that once some words were opened and spoken, Daqi might face major changes. But is this change what he wants?
Maybe, maybe not.
Walking slowly in front of Bai Liyue, Si Haoyan looked at her squarely and said word by word, as if he was talking to himself.
"Do you know who the most powerful person is in the Great Apocalypse's Rune Array Master?"
Bai Liyue didn't answer him, or didn't interrupt him, not even nodding or shaking his head. She knew what he was going to say and would keep going.
Si Haoyan looked at Bai Liyue without any expression, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, how do you know." ”
"The most powerful talisman master of the Great Apocalypse has faded out of people's sight for fifty years, and I have only heard of it. ”
"His name is Wu Ding, and he is one of the elders of the Great Apocalypse Elder's House. ”
"What do you say his name is?" Zuo Yichen's reaction was a little big, and when he heard the name Wu Ding, he couldn't believe it. The person he had been looking for for more than ten years turned out to be someone from the House of Elders, no wonder, no wonder.
Si Haoyan turned around and looked at Zuo Yichen's different expression, it seemed that they were thinking the same.
"Looks like you think it's him, too. It's not a question sentence, just look at Zuo Yichen's expression, he also thinks that the four-way demon gathering array in the imperial garden is from the hand of Wu Ding.
Zuo Yichen narrowed his eyes, which was completely different from what Bai Liyue had just seen. The glorious Zuo Yichen is no longer there, and Zuo Yichen's current appearance makes Bai Liyue a little uneasy.
Dancing with wolves and skinning tigers is not what she wants.
Seeing Bai Liyue's slightly frowning brows, Zuo Yichen soothed his expression and made himself look softer.
"If it's the actions of the House of Elders, what is Li Yue going to do?"
Ignoring the anxiety in her heart, Bai Liyue, who was named, pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "That Wu Ding, what level of rune array master is it?"
"I don't know, but the Four-Way Gathering Array is not something he can do alone, he should just be a participant. ”
It's just that Zuo Yichen's guess was questioned by Si Haoyan.
"How can you see it? Does the national teacher think that the entire Elders' House of Elders is involved in it? Or does the national teacher think that my father is the real mastermind behind the scenes?"
Zuo Yichen chuckled lightly, saying that he didn't want to say more. "Whether the three princes believe it or not, the four-way demon gathering array, against the talisman master, is a multi-person formation in itself. ”
Bai Liyue also agrees with this, if it is only a rune formation master, it is indeed impossible to refine it alone. But how could Zuo Yichen know? Could it be that he also has profound attainments in formation?
Seeing Bai Liyue looking at him, Zuo Yichen nodded slightly.
What does he mean by nodding to himself?
The conversation was at a stalemate for a while, as the prince of the Great Apocalypse, he had the responsibility and obligation to protect the stability of the Great Apocalypse, but what if the opponent was the entire House of Elders? What power did he have to stop it, not to mention whether his father was involved in it.
In fact, Si Haoyan agreed with Zuo Yichen's words in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it. The Imperial Garden was built by Si Hongzhen's order, if he didn't know anything about it, Si Haoyan didn't believe it, but how much did Si Hongzhen participate in it?
Si Haoyan was reluctant to clash head-on with Si Hongzhen, and he was even more reluctant to be an enemy of Daqi's power center.
But as Zuo Yichen said, this matter cannot be delayed.
"Does the national teacher have a good strategy?" Zuo Yichen said to Bai Liyue before, "No one can solve this matter except you", so there must be a way to deal with it.
"I'm afraid I need to talk to Li Yue about this matter alone. ”
"Alone?" "And me?"
Both were surprised.
Si Haoyan was surprised, how could Zuo Yichen trust this little girl from the ghost city so much, and even avoid him, the prince of the Great Apocalypse, could it be that this method of dealing with it was not good for the Great Apocalypse?
Bai Liyue was surprised that she was a fourth-level little monk who was contemplative, what did she have to talk about with her?
But Zuo Yichen was very insistent, he said that this matter could only be discussed with Bai Liyue alone.
Bai Liyue was skeptical, and under Si Haoyan's reluctant nod, Bai Liyue stepped into Zuo Yichen's enchantment.
As soon as the enchantment fell, Si Haoyan no longer knew what was going on inside.
But the two people in the enchantment hugged each other, to be precise, it was Zuo Yichen who hugged Bai Liyue.
"Li Yue, I finally saw you. ”
Wait, what's going on?
"Wait, wait. Bai Liyue pushed Zuo Yichen out, "What do you mean to finally see me, I don't seem to know you." ”
"I'm Wushuang's brother, doesn't Li Yue remember?"
"Wushuang's brother?" Bai Liyue thought sneeringly, although she had remembered the memories of the previous twenty-five years, but they were all things that were forcibly stuffed into her memory, she just watched it like a bystander, and she didn't have too much emotional investment. And does Wushuang have a brother? She doesn't seem to know.
"Yes, it was Wushuang who asked me to send you to the lower realm, and after repairing your soul that day, Wushuang had no mana, he asked me to send you to a safe place, and I found this plane and entrusted you to the Bai family, the Bai family is actually a branch of your ancestors, I cast a little spell on that woman, and she adopted you. ”
I see, Bai Liyue has always wondered why she came here, and the name that her stepmother happened to give her was her original name, which turned out to be Zuo Yichen's credit, "But why did you come to Daqi to be a national teacher?"
"I came to this plane because there is a small branch of the ghost clan hiding here, you are so close to Wushuang, you should know that our father is the demon king of the demon clan, right?"
Bai Liyue nodded, of course she knew, didn't Wushuang's tragic experience start with his parents?
"The demon race and the ghost race are feuds, and there is a little similarity to the attitude of the human race towards the demon race. ”
The demon race and the ghost race are both cultivated with demon qi, and the total amount of demon qi is almost the same, and the reason for eliminating one or the other is obvious, so for tens of thousands of years, the demon race and the ghost race have been feuding, and the demon race has been suppressing the ghost race, and the branches of the ghost race have become fewer and fewer.
But the situation of the human race and the demon race is different, the human race and the demon race can coexist for the most part, and for thousands of years, the human race has driven the demon race as a slave.
It seems that this little prince of the demon world has come to purge the enemy for the demon race.
"Then how did you become a member of the Zuo family?" Bai Liyue remembered that the national teacher of Daqi seemed to be a side branch of the Zuo family, right?
"Hehe, how to get you into the Bai family, I will get into the Zuo family, not to mention that it's just a side branch. Zuo Yichen smiled shyly, like a sunny boy, but to say that this person is Wushuang's brother, I am afraid that his age does not match this image......
"Then I still call you Zuo Yichen?" After knowing that he was Wushuang's brother and his savior, Bai Liyue was obviously a lot closer to him, so was the previous déjà vu because of these?
"My real name is Yichen, it's good if you call me Yichen, but Li Yue used to call me Brother Yichen!" Zuo Yichen reached out and rubbed Bai Liyue's hair, hiding his pink ears.
How many years later, Bai Liyue found out that this guy was fooling her from the beginning.
