Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Old Master
I think there are too many miscellaneous things, so that Mu Yan has forgotten his origin. The former head of the family, the high priest, that is, her grandfather. He is said to be a very powerful character. Although she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she had heard a lot of rumors about him.
This is a vast country, a vast land, and a lot of strange things, and she herself has the ability to go with birds. Through what Imperial Physician Li said, although she was confused, she also seemed to understand something.
However, Shen Li didn't care about his vision at all at the moment, listening to Mu Yan change the topic, and then listening to Imperial Physician Li's remarks, he suddenly said unhappily: "How many people in this world can be like the former high priest? Although the queen was born in the Mu family, she didn't know what kind of occult numerology those are." For now, you only need to take care of the queen's body, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”
Imperial Physician Li pursed his mouth and did not make a sound. Mu Yan stuck out his tongue and made a silent gesture to him. Li Huaisu has lived a long time, and he is very sleek, and he immediately understands what he means. nodded silently, and cooperated: "Lao Chen understands, Lao Chen will go and prepare a few prescriptions for conditioning the body, let people boil it into a decoction, and give it to the queen." ”
After that, Li Huaisu gave up and retired. Xiao Qi went to see him off, and only Shen Li and Mu Yan were left in the house.
"Yan'er, the child's matter, is there really no room for negotiation?"
Mu Yan understood what he meant, and pretended to be angry: "What? You don't want this child?"
"Yes. Shen Li replied without thinking: "But what I want is because of you." I know you want to have a baby for me, and when that day comes, I will be filled with joy to welcome him. But if this child comes, it will cost you your life...... Smoke, I don't think I might like him. ”
"You're going to love it. ”
Mu Yan smiled, and pulled Shen Li's hand over his lower abdomen. "This is our child. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. I still want to spend decades with you, and I won't leave you so soon. ”
Mu Yan made promises again and again, which made Shen Li reluctantly put his mind at ease. The next day, taking advantage of Shen's departure from the early dynasty, Mu Yan sent someone to send Imperial Doctor Li, retired a palace maid, and gave the old imperial doctor a seat, Mu Yan directly cut into the topic and said: "Imperial Doctor Li, I really didn't learn anything from my grandfather. Otherwise, to this day, the Mu family would not have been defeated so far. I know that you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and you have some friendship with my grandfather in private, so I hope you can give me a few points and solve the problem for me. ”
Li Huaisu was frightened, waved his hand and said humbly: "The queen mother is serious. In fact, the old minister has seen the skills of the high priest, so he thinks that you, as a descendant of the Mu family, have more or less inherited some of it, and there is no other meaning. If the mother really doesn't know anything, then forgive the old minister for talking too much, you just don't hear anything. ”
Mu Yan frowned and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's eyes can't be left untreated! Not to mention anything else, just if I am selfish, how can I not let him, the father, take a look at the birth of a child in my womb? Have you also said that my health is too poor, and it is difficult to conceive, but now I am also pregnant with a child? I believe that there is a destiny in this world, but my husband is the one to whom the destiny of heaven returns, so I firmly believe that there will be a cure. ”
Li Huaisu sighed, paused, suddenly thought of something, and muttered, "Or...... Niang Niang went to the Star Palace to have a look? maybe...... Can you think of anything useful. ”
"Star Palace?"
Mu Yan was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that it was the office of the high priests of the Ming Kingdom. But since her grandfather's death, the Mu family has declined for a while, and now the position of high priest has been abolished, which was once the most glorious palace in the Ming Kingdom, and now it is no different from the cold palace.
"yes. Although the position of high priest was abolished, the Star Palace was not demolished. It's just abandoned there, and no one takes care of it. The high priests of all dynasties have used the Imperial Soul Wall divination there to predict the future disaster of Daming, I think, since Niangniang is the bloodline of the Mu family, did she go there, maybe she will feel something?"
Mu Yan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt reasonable. didn't care about anything else, sent the old lady away, and immediately took Hongluan to the Star Palace.
Hongluan was curious, and didn't understand why Mu Yan suddenly became interested in the abandoned Star Palace, but wherever the master said to go, she would go. Anyway, just follow and protect, and the rest of the things will not be her turn to worry about.
Very, the master and servant came to the gate of the Star Palace. I think that at the beginning, this was the place where Mu Yan and Hongluan often came when they were children. Thinking about the prosperity at that time, and then looking at the current defeat, although I understand the reason, I am also relieved. But seeing it at this moment, I still can't help but sigh a little.
"Let's go inside. ”
Mu Yan broke the silence and took the lead in pushing open the door and walking in. Although she is in harmony with the memories of this body, she can't remember it for too long as a child. On the other hand, Hongluan had a very excited expression, looking around, with an excited expression.
"Look, that's where we used to hide when we were kids. Ah, and that pillar. The high priest said that if you climb up, you will see a beautiful scenery. ”
Hongluan said with interest, but Mu Yan didn't pay a word. Her mind was now focused on the altar in the center of the main hall, which was a brazier made of clear jade in the shape of a six-pointed star, and an unknown blue liquid flowed from the brazier. When she followed Shen Li to look for the dragon vein, Shen Li told her. Whoever can find the dragon vein, take the Qilin blood, bring it back to Beijing, and drip it into the brazier in the High Priest's Palace, and the brazier will be ignited. Then that person is eligible to inherit the crown prince's throne.
She'd heard it, but she hadn't actually seen it. But what shocked her at this moment was that the brazier actually contained the Imperial Soul Wall that she had found in the dragon vein.
"How did you ...... here?"
Mu Yan couldn't help but murmur. Hongluan walked over and took a look, and immediately covered his mouth in fright. swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva before he settled down and whispered: "Mother, mother." No, isn't this the Imperial Soul Wall that the Second Master has been looking for for a long time?
Mu Yan didn't pay attention to it, and reached out to get it. But as soon as her fingers touched it, the Imperial Soul Wall emitted a dazzling light, so that she had to subconsciously withdraw her hand to cover her eyes.
"Mother, be careful!"
Hongluan dutifully stood in front of her, and when the light dissipated slightly, the two found that there was nothing wrong, so they slowly opened their eyes and looked. It's okay not to look at it, but when he saw what was happening in front of him, Hongluan's legs trembled, and thanks to Mu Yan's support, he barely stood firm. But it only took a moment, and finally he spread his body and fell to his knees. His throat trembled, and he called out weakly.
"Old, old ......"
