Chapter 371: Clues
"This afternoon, Su Lao sent a woman into No. 3 Yongkang Fang, and there is a slightly older one, surnamed Hua, who said that you arranged it."
"Well, I arranged it."
"The woman is ......"
"Don't be careful, that woman is the assassin chick we arrested before, called Miss Tong, the daughter of the peak master of the Yaoguang Peak of the Tianlan Sect, and a friend of His Royal Highness, just stay in our house for a while, and when the Tianlan Sect comes, I will pick them up." Roshing explained.
"Sister Qing said, after the Shangyuan Festival, you will do our business?" Red Shadow lowered her head shyly.
"Well, you've changed your mind?" Luo Xing was surprised.
"Oh no, I'm afraid I won't be worthy."
"What's the matter, I Luo Xing don't know what my background is, I am willing to commit to me, and I am willing to be a concubine, which is already a grievance." Luo Xing said busily.
"Then I'll go out first?"
"Well, let's go play with them." Luo Xing nodded, he loved Hongying more than he liked it, but since she was willing to follow him, he would naturally not let down such a poor woman, at least give her a stable home and future.
……
"Luo Xiaoqi, you've been slacking off lately, when will the fourth turn of Xuanling be consummated?" Black Bell Ling's voice rang in his head.
"You can't combine work and rest in practice, my cultivation speed should be fast enough, right?" Luo Xing retorted, "Don't you understand the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it? ”
"I think you're just lazy, and if you're extraordinary earlier, you'll be able to strip this girl out earlier."
"You're sure I'm extraordinary, and I'll be able to strip you away?"
"As soon as I say this, aren't you a little self-motivated, within half a month, you must be promoted to the second-grade martial arts sect, otherwise, I will let you not raise it for life!"
"Hei Zhongling, don't be too ......"
"By the way, I have an idea for that concentric Gu, give you a reference and see if it can work?" Hei Zhongling stopped Luo Xing's words and said.
"What's the idea?"
"Since the concentric Gu can't be lifted, then transplant it, and transfer the concentric Gu on the four princes' bodies to you, you are a white beauty, what's the matter?"
"You're crazy, this concentric Gu can affect emotional thinking, it's impossible for me to betray and abandon Qingyi and Red Shadow."
"It's just a concentric Gu, for you, it's not a big problem, but for the four princes, it's a big problem." Hei Zhongling explained.
"I don't believe it."
"Concentric Gu does not distinguish between mother and son, but in the process of getting along, there must be one person who is dominant, with your ability, take back control and occupy a dominant position, then there is no problem at all."
"I don't want to be controlled by others, what bad idea do you have?" Luo Xing couldn't help but say angrily.
"Then there is another way, use the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill, kill the four princes first, remove the concentric Gu, and then save him."
"I've checked some literature on this method, but it's useless." Luo Xing has naturally studied it, and he is not the only smart person in this world.
In the past, there were many people who could think of this method, and some people even used such a method, and in the end they lived and died together.
That's why it is said that "Concentric Gu" has no solution.
Actually, Luo Xing didn't understand the principle of the effect of this "concentric Gu", how did they sense the existence of the other party when they were planted on two people, especially when they were so far apart?
If this is used for communication, it is simply black technology, especially when used in interstellar communication, human beings can definitely achieve a huge leap in technology.
Could it be "quantum entanglement"?
Luo Xing even thought of this, but he didn't know anything about it, he knew a name, and he didn't know anything about the principle or anything.
"Concentric Gu" should not involve such a profound thing, and the level of science and technology in this world is mostly equivalent to that of the Tang and Song dynasties.
What kind of thing "Concentric Gu" is, no one knows, and the Fourth Prince Ye Kai himself doesn't know how he got it.
And the next "Concentric Gu" is the descendant of the former Dali royal family, Zhao Xuan'er, this Zhao Xuan'er is now locked up in the secret cell of the Imperial City Division.
Involving the remnants of the previous dynasty, the Imperial City Division naturally heard about it, and torture was indispensable to extract confessions, but because of the four princes, the Imperial City Division estimated that he did not have the courage to kill people.
It seems that to solve this "concentric Gu", I still have to go to the secret prison of the Imperial City Division, but I am afraid that the Imperial City Division may not be willing to let me see this Zhao Xuan'er.
Things have to come one by one, and I can't be in a hurry.
"Xiao Qi, Ah Fan cooked some rice balls, and I brought a bowl over for you to taste." Late at night, it was already past the hour, and Qingyi and Qingfan entered the study together.
"Well, okay, I'm just a little hungry, let's eat some together?" Luo Xing nodded, tonight, according to the rules, he will not sleep, he has to sit until dawn.
Anyway, there is nothing to do, just make up for sleep the next day, but some people don't have time to sleep, and there are still many things to do the next day.
"Qingfan, did you make this glutinous rice ball?" Luo Xing tasted it, it was sweet and soft, and the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, which was very delicious.
"Back to the Hou Ye, it was the slave who did it." Qing Fan bent down slightly and saluted his hand.
"Yes, yes, what else are you going to do?" Luo Xing asked, there must be a steward in the inner courtyard, Qingyi has a public office, and is destined to not manage much housework, Hongying can be a housekeeper, but it can only be the general direction, and some specific aspects still need someone to be in charge.
"Some home-cooked dishes, slaves and maids can do it."
"Okay, Qingyi, I think that in the future, the affairs of the kitchen at home can be handed over to Qingfan to be responsible." Luo Xing said.
"It's okay, Qingfan, what do you think?" Qingyi didn't think about it that much, anyway, she wasn't often at home, and she didn't need Qingfan to serve her.
Qingfan was pleasantly surprised, and was about to kneel down to thank him, but as soon as Luo Xing raised his hand, he was stopped by a true anger: "Our family doesn't like this, if you are grateful, you can take care of the food and drink at home." ”
"Master Xie, Mrs. Xie." Qingfan said busily.
"My study, you continue to take care of it, what books you like to read, just take it yourself, although Ben Hou bought you, he didn't treat you as a slave."
"Master Hou's great grace, Qingfan is unforgettable."
"Alright, you go out first." Luo Xing waved his hand and signaled that Qingfan could go out.
"When there are more people in the family, it will inevitably be chaotic, and they have to set a set of rules, otherwise they will be at a loss." Luo Xing said, "Qingyi, if you are free, you invite Yu Niang's sister-in-law to the house and tell the big guys, she is a good hand in managing the inner house." ”
"That's fine." Qingyi agreed, "The queen set up a banquet tonight, and I saw at the banquet that the queen mother and Mrs. Qin had a very good relationship, and the two even walked hand in hand and had a very happy conversation, while Su Guifei did not attend the banquet because of her illness, and assigned her niece Su Xiaoxiao to attend the banquet instead of her." ”
"Have you ever seen Your Highness?"
"No, I didn't."
The prince competes for the prince, tonight, in the Changming Palace, Luo Xing only saw the eldest prince and the third prince, the second prince did not come, it is said that he was practicing martial arts in retreat, and the fourth prince has disappeared for a month and has not appeared, as for the younger fifth prince, he was taken to the queen's side by the mother concubine.
Obviously, this battle for the throne is between the eldest prince and the third prince, the second prince is obsessed with martial arts and has no intention of taking the throne, and the fourth prince is from a low background and has caused a lot of trouble, and has been judged to be out.
The princes are either adults, or they are about to become adults, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty do not live many for a long time, most of them are about five or six years old, although the emperor also has cultivation, and they are not weak, but sitting in this position, exhausted, there are a few who can live a long life, and even the transcendent is not, there is an unwritten iron law.
Once the emperor breaks through the extraordinary, he has to abdicate and make way for Xian, but who is the emperor, who would be willing to abdicate and hand over the emperor's position to others, even if it is his own son?
"It's not early, let's rest, I have to go to Ye Hou and Master's house early tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings." The topic was a bit heavy, and Roshing decided to put an end to it.
"Well, I have prepared some gifts for the New Year, you can take a look tomorrow, if it is not enough, just buy it on the street." Qingyi nodded.
"Okay."
……
In the Yuning Palace, it was deserted, and even the palace lamps were a few less, and the imperial dining room only cared about the Changming Palace and the queen.
I sent someone to bring some food, but it was still cold, frozen into a lump of ice, and when I opened my mouth to bite down, I could knock two front teeth off.
Chilan warmed up the food and brought it in.
"Your Highness, eat some, it's Chinese New Year's Eve today." Chilan didn't know how to persuade her, she would do this in her limited vocabulary.
"Don't eat, you eat, I'm not hungry." Looking up at the blue starry sky, there is the sound of fireworks and firecrackers in my ears.
Ye Liuli seems to feel that she is a little out of place with this world, she was born with her parents gone, and in her miserable childhood, she finally went up the mountain, learned art, and obtained a martial arts cultivation, but she still couldn't control her own destiny.
If she hadn't insisted on going back to Luojing and investigating the real cause of her parents' deaths, maybe she wouldn't have what happened today.
At this moment, she had a hint of regret, but it disappeared in an instant.
She didn't do anything wrong, so why did she have to bear such a price?
"Your Highness." Su Manqing walked in from outside the hall, saw Ye Liuli sitting on the Yao bed, and called softly, probably only she could understand the distress in Ye Liuli's heart at this moment.
A martial arts genius, who should have been flying high, was forced to break his wings and become a caged bird, trapped in a square inch of land since then, who can accept such a future?
"Old Su, you're back, how are you?"
"Miss Tong and Xiaohua both settled at No. 3 Yongkang Fang, leaving them something to eat and drink, Xiaohua injured a leg, there is no problem, and she will recover in two days." Su Manqing explained.
"Xiaotong grew up in the sect since she was a child, and she didn't suffer much, but this time because of my business, it was my fault that she was imprisoned."
"How can you blame Your Highness for this, the whole thing was framed, Miss Tong is just unlucky."
"I can't say that, Xiaotong also happened to help me." Ye Liuli said, "You must arrange someone to take care of the two of them." ”
"This old body knows, Your Highness can rest assured, it is this Miss Tong's temperament, I am afraid that she will hate Lord Luo." Su Manqing said.
"She'll understand that later." She couldn't be unclear about her friend's personality and temper, but hopefully it would change over time.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty won't let you attend tonight's banquet, this is not a good sign, we have to prepare early."
"Master, do you have an eagle letter?"
"No, the Yunni Peak Lord is in retreat to impact the Innate Two Heavens, once the Peak Lord breaks through, our right to speak will naturally increase greatly, and at that time, there may be a turnaround in the matter of harmony." Su Manqing said comfortingly.
"How is Brother Xiaodouzi's investigation?"
"I didn't see Master Luo today, he was very busy today, and he probably didn't even care about the case." Su Manqing said.
"Well, forget it, let's talk about it after tonight." Ye Liuli said with interest. She can walk away, but it will be difficult to come back, which means that she no longer has the status of a princess, and it is impossible to find out the truth about the death of her parents.
It's only been less than twenty years, and the truth has almost disappeared, and in a few years, I'm afraid no one will remember that there was once a rebellious prince.
"Your Highness, there is a father-in-law who claims to be Qixi outside the door and asks to see him!"
"Qixi, is that the attendant eunuch beside His Majesty?" Ye Liuli was surprised, although the eunuch beside His Majesty was not of high grade, his weight was not low, and he could not get the trust of Emperor Yongxi, so it was impossible for him to serve by his side.
"Your Highness, you have forgotten that this aura and Lord Luo have both been in the Nanya Secret Camp." Su Manqing reminded.
"Well, I remembered, I should have known this Qixi, but I was too young at the time, and I only remembered Brother Xiaodouzi." Ye Liuli nodded, she had investigated the people who entered the secret camp with Luo Xing back then, and naturally found out the roots of Qixi, although she didn't pay special attention to it, but she still had an impression.
"Invite him in."
Qixi took small steps and walked into the hall.
"Slave and maid Qixi see Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Qixi leaned forward slightly, saw Ye Liuli, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
"Xiaoxi father-in-law is exempt, get up." Ye Liuli raised her hand slightly and commanded.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie."
"Father-in-law Xiaoxi, you are not waiting in front of Your Majesty at this time, is there something wrong with coming to see this palace?" Ye Liuli asked.
"Your Majesty feasted the ministers and foreign envoys tonight, Her Royal Highness the princess should have a place, Your Majesty considered that the assassination of the four princes of Xirong that happened before was somewhat implicated in His Royal Highness, so in order to avoid conflicts at the banquet, the princess was not allowed to participate, and the special slave maid sent some food to Her Royal Highness the princess, and later tomorrow the family banquet in the palace, naturally she will not be wronged and snub Your Highness!" Seven Joy said.
"Oh, thank you for me." Ye Liuli was full of resentment, and her tone couldn't be better, "Eat and stay." ”
"No."
"Wait a minute, Father-in-law Xiaoxi, I heard that you and Lord Luo Xingluo of Nanya were friends when they were young?"
"Yes, the slave maid and Lord Luo are both from the Nanya secret camp." Seven Up nodded.
"In this way, you and Bengong are also old acquaintances, when Bengong was young, he also stayed in the secret camp for a while, I don't know if Xiaoxi's father-in-law has an impression?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but the slave doesn't have any impression of this."
"You really don't remember?"
"Your Highness, forgive me, the slave maid was still young at the time, and many people and things were blurred when they grew up, and they can't remember it." Seven Joy denied.
"Well, in that case, let's go back."
"No!"
Qixi left the wine and food given by Emperor Yongxi and left.
"This Qixi, how could he not remember, that is, he did not recognize the palace." Ye Liuli couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
"Your Highness, it's no wonder that he, the situation in this palace is complicated, and the intrigue between the eunuchs and palace maids is not much worse than those in the court, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with His Highness, which is understandable." Su Manqing analyzed.
"Well, forget it, don't mention this person." Ye Liuli said, "I'm going to practice, don't let people disturb me." ”
"And the food that Your Majesty gave you?"
"Leave the wine, you can share the rest with Chilan, I don't have an appetite......"
