Chapter 5 Change from the Inside Out

Sheng Zhiyao listened to his grandfather's words and looked at Feng Yuanchen who was standing next to him, although he was dressed plainly, it did not affect his kingly aura at all, and he must be the son of a prince.

He looked about seven or eight years old, but he had a sense of alienation that no one else could enter, and a pair of red and white eyes added a bit of mystery to this originally handsome and abnormal face.

"Have you seen enough?" Feng Yuanchen looked at Sheng Zhiyao and spoke coldly, not at all as respectful as he was to Old Marquis Sheng.

Sheng Zhiyao was stunned, and cried again with a "wow".

Old Marquis Sheng saw that his baby granddaughter was crying again, and looked at the initiator with a glare: "Yuanchen, if you cry again, I will dismantle your bones." ”

"I'm sorry, master." Feng Yuanchen put away his indifferent face, but he hadn't forgotten the way Sheng Zhiyao stared at him curiously just now.

Since he was a child, because his eyes were different from others', he was regarded as ominous by birth.

Even his own father disliked him, his mother also died in childbirth when he was born, and rumors spread in the palace, and even the palace people avoided him, fearing that he would die in vain if he was seen by his pair of different eyes.

When he returned to the palace, his father never visited him, and even wanted to kill him a few times, and his mother-in-law was even more unscrupulous to dismiss him, and finally he was sent by his mother-in-law to the Zhuangzi where his mother was married.

Although the life here is not as good as in the capital, he doesn't have to care about other people's eyes here, and he can live a dull life freely and chicly.

In this way, his grandmother still felt that he would get in the way of his son Feng Yuanqing's imperial road in the future, and countless poisoning and assassination accompanied him to grow up, no matter how far away he was, he couldn't escape his fate, and even if he was close, he couldn't become a brother.

It was also that year that the old marquis unintentionally passed through the woods next to this villa and found this isolated place, Feng Yuanchen, who had been poisoned and injured at that time, happened to be chased and killed by a group of black-clothed people and fled here.

The old marquis took Feng Yuanchen into the carriage and detoxified and bandaged him in the car, and a piece of jade pendant that slipped off his waist let him know the origin of Feng Yuanchen, the jade pendant was carved by the skilled craftsmen in the palace when each royal child of the Shang Zhou Dynasty was born, and his name was engraved on it - Chen.

Because of his injuries, the old marquis Sheng could only find a relatively safe place in the woods and set up camp, and it took three days to pull Feng Yuanchen back from the Ghost Gate.

In the past three days, because of the shortage of food, the secret guards were hunting in the woods, and the old marquis Sheng dug herbs in the woods, he poured the herbs and food in a certain proportion in the pot and stewed, and finally made a dish that amazed everyone present.

In this way, Feng Yuanchen quickly recovered completely under the careful conditioning of the old marquis Sheng, and he felt that the most amazing thing was a kind of pill made by the old marquis, because the vegetation in the woods was dense and there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants, so the old marquis Sheng made a lot of pills with the medicinal materials in the woods, and after these pills burned, they were almost invulnerable to insects around them.

In just a few days, Feng Yuanchen discovered the erudition and talent of the old marquis, and he was willing to beg the old marquis to accept him as an apprentice, but the old marquis Sheng did not agree.

Old Marquis Sheng didn't like the royal family's deception, and now he was even more reluctant to ask him to accept a royal grandson as an apprentice, the purpose of going out this time was to find a quiet and remote place to retire, he directly rejected Feng Yuanchen's request, and directly asked the secret guard to escort him back to Zhuangzi.

For a long time after that, the old marquis Sheng was sending people around to inquire about the owner of the land, and he wanted to buy it and build a small courtyard to live for the rest of his life, until one day His Majesty left him after the early dynasty and brought Feng Yuanchen to him.

Only then did he know that the piece of land he fancied was the dowry of Feng Yuanchen's mother, and Feng Yuanchen was willing to use his mother's title deed in exchange for the favor of the old marquis Sheng, who knew that the old marquis Sheng was not moved at all, and walked out of the emperor's bedroom directly, and His Majesty was helpless.

It wasn't until the prophecy of the Celestial Master came that the Celestial Master calculated that he would have a granddaughter, and this granddaughter would be a goddess descending from their time, and would become the future queen of the Shang Zhou Dynasty.

Although he felt that these were nonsense, the Shang Zhou Dynasty had always believed in the Heavenly Master since ancient times, and even every emperor had clear instructions when he ascended the throne or set up a crown prince.

At the same time that His Majesty told Old Marquis Sheng that Master Tian predicted, he also found out that his daughter-in-law was pregnant and was still a girl.

In the end, he thought about accepting Feng Yuanchen as an apprentice, he thought that if his granddaughter was really the goddess predicted by the Heavenly Master, then she would not be able to escape her own fate, but he could cultivate an excellent husband for her.

Old Marquis Sheng is looking for Feng Yuanchen today to explain something important: "Find two people from your Yuchen Palace to be a personal maidservant who is far away, and then you will live in Chuanxiangyuan from tomorrow." ”

"Live here?" Feng Yuanchen was a little puzzled.

"Yes, I'm going to teach you something new from tomorrow, are you interested?"

Feng Yuanchen was a little excited in his heart, he knew that the master still had many secrets that no one knew, but he also remembered what the master said, "Joy and anger are not visible, likes and dislikes are not expressed", so he pressed his excitement and said to the old marquis: "Of course, I will bring people over tomorrow morning." ”

Old Marquis Sheng looked at his face and nodded with admiration: "Well, there's no hurry." I need you to take your guard and show up here tomorrow. ”

"Yes, master." Although Feng Yuanchen didn't know why the master needed his secret guard to appear together, he agreed without hesitation.

The secret guards hidden outside were also very curious when they heard the words of the old marquis, and looked at each other but did not make any sound.

"Very well, you can take these to your guards first." The old marquis took out a glass bottle from his cuff and filled it with some black-brown pills: "Take it when you go back, it will be a little uncomfortable, but endure it will have unexpected effects." ”

Feng Yuanchen took the glass bottle handed over by the master with both hands and put it directly to his chest.

At this time, the old marquis pointed to a box on the table: "This is yours, take it now." ”

Feng Yuanchen nodded, he walked over and picked up the box on the table and smelled a very fresh smell, just smelling this smell made him feel extremely comfortable all over his body.

He opened the box, and a cyan pill was presented in front of him, he picked up the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Let's go back! Come here tomorrow, you don't need to bring anything, I have it here. After the old marquis finished speaking, Feng Yuanchen saluted and left.

The way back was not far, but Feng Yuanchen still took twice as long as he came, because the pill had already started to attack when he left the gate of Sichuan Xiangyuan, and the sweat all over his body had soaked his clothes, because the painful and delicate facial features began to distort a little, and the pair of different pupils also became a little strange under the background of the night.

"Master, are you alright?" Bu Xing looked at his master worriedly.

"I'm fine, just rest for a while." Feng Yuanchen sat on the ground, panting, sweat kept slipping, because the pain intensified, causing him to faint directly.

The secret guards appeared one after another and looked at their masters worriedly, but none of them made a sound, they really didn't know what to do, and finally Shi Wu really couldn't stand it: "The medicine that the old marquis of Buxing gave to the master is okay, right?" ”

"No, the old marquis won't do this." Bu Xing said categorically to Shi Wu.

"What's going on, master?" Shi Wu was a little anxious, watching the master lying on the ground shrink into a ball because of the pain, but he was helpless.

Bu Xing knew that everyone was worried about his master, but as the leader of Feng Yuanchen's secret guard, he could only unconditionally believe in the person his master trusted: "Have you forgotten what the old marquis said just now?" ”

"I haven't forgotten, but I didn't say that the master would faint."

"Okay, let's wait, maybe the master will wake up soon." Bu Xing calmed everyone's emotions and observed Feng Yuanchen's every move at all times: "Look! The master didn't sweat anymore. ”

All the eyes of everyone gathered, and they didn't dare to take a breath, and Feng Yuanchen, who was a cup of tea, woke up.
