Chapter 22: Shen Yue
"Is it really Shen Yue?" Gongsun Yan pulled the door open and dragged Prince Mingxi in, and hurriedly snatched the red jade in his hand and looked at it again, "This thing has been stolen for so long, and it actually ran to Kunlun Mountain?
"Be careful. Prince Mingxi smiled bitterly, this piece of jade is called "Shen Yue", which is passed down from generation to generation by the royal family, and it is more important than the jade seal of the country.
It was stolen from the heavily guarded deep palace more than 20 years ago, and the last person to come into contact with this piece of jade was his eldest aunt, the eldest sister of his father, the eldest princess of Mingyu.
It is said that that year, the sect leader "King Garan" from the Jialuo Bai Sect brought his wife Yun Qiushui to the imperial capital Tianyu City, Yun Qiushui had been ill for a long time, and was already dying, in order to seek the last ray of life, the proud Bai Sect leader put down all his dignity and begged Danzhen Palace to heal.
However, Danzhen Palace rejected him, Danzhen Palace was a place that only served the royal family and nobles, even the sect leader from the White Sect was not qualified to let them take action.
But the eldest princess met King Garan, the eldest princess of that year had already reached the age of marriage, but she was arrogant and looked down on those stubborn children, and the marriage was delayed, she happened to meet King Garan who came to seek medical treatment in front of the Danzhen Palace, it was the surprise of that glance, the princess of the empire could no longer extricate herself, even if she knew that he already had a wife who was pregnant with Liujia, the eldest princess still fell in love with this person who should not be loved.
Later, there was the famous Shenyue theft case.
No one knew what had happened between the eldest princess and the king of Garan in this short half a month, and when the emperor found out that something was wrong, the eldest princess had already appeared alone in the deep palace where Shen Yue was placed.
The magic vessel containing the "Sinking Moon" was missing, and King Garan and his wife also disappeared that night, as if out of thin air.
Even though she was the eldest princess of the empire, Mingyu was still the biggest suspect and was beaten into the water prison by her angry father, but she never said a word again as if she had lost her soul.
She was punished the most severely, not only was she bitten by countless poisonous insects, her face was completely ruined, her hands and feet were cut off, and her eyes were blinded, but even so, she remained silent.
Such inhuman torture and abuse lasted for ten years, or the father and emperor finally remembered that little bit of sister-brother love, he pardoned the eldest princess's sins, but deposed her as a commoner and expelled her from Tianyu City, and she could not return in this life.
The eldest princess evaporated from the world after that day, and Shen Yue's theft case was no longer heard.
After so many years, the imperial capital has actually been tracking down Shen Yue's whereabouts, but the eldest princess of Mingyu and the king of Jialan have completely disappeared, and Yun Qiushui has returned to Kunlun Mountain alone, and has never set foot in Feiyuan again.
And today, this piece of ancient jade actually appeared on her daughter Yunxiao's body!
Ancient Jade ...... The imperial capital prefers to call it an "ancient book", and it is said that there are several ancient books on the Feiyuan Continent that record the history of falling into the sky, and they are missing, and they do not necessarily appear in the form of books, and Shenyue is one of them.
This ancient book records the one-year vacancy of the Ming Dynasty before the fall into the sky, and the Ming Dynasty ruled Feiyuan for thousands of years, but this most important year of history was lost.
History is sealed in the dust of the moon, and no one can understand it.
Before this period of history, the emperor Tianheng Emperor had a queen, seven imperial concubines, eighteen princes, thirty-one imperial grandsons, one hundred and twenty-eight important ministers of the dynasty, and 600,000 citizens of Tianyu City, and after this history, only Emperor Tianheng was left, and the number of people was sharply reduced to 200,000.
No one knows what terrible changes took place that year, Emperor Tianheng was the last emperor of Zhen Island and the first emperor of Feiyuan.
"Mingxi!Mingxi!" Gongsun Yan shook him, and the prince of Mingxi woke up from his distant contemplation, he took back Shen Yue, and said, "According to the records of the year, when Yun Qiushui was seriously ill, King Jialan once brought his wife to Danzhen Palace for medical treatment, and left soon after being rejected, and Shen Yue was actually on Yun Xiao's body after being stolen, so calculated, the purpose of his need for Shen Yue should be to save his wife and the child in his womb, what kind of disease is Yun Qiushui, and he needs Shen Yue to save it?"
"Why can Shen Yue save his life? Isn't it an ancient book?" Gongsun Yan asked strangely, Mingxi paused, and the golden light in his eyes flickered.
"In the oldest historical scrolls of the imperial capital, the origin of the Ming clan has been recorded. He sighed faintly, and Gongsun Yan hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, don't say it! This is not something I should hear." ”
"It is said in the record that the name of the sun and the moon is given the surname 'Ming'. The crown prince ignored him, and continued, "The Ming clan is the twelve gods of the heavenly realm, the sun god and the moon god, and the royal family holds the light golden eyes of the sun god, and gives the ancient book 'Shen Yue' to prove the imperial power. ”
Gongsun Yan didn't dare to come out, and cautiously glanced at Xiao Yibai, who was close his eyes and recuperating next to him.
"The power of Shen Yue comes from the moon god, which is a divine power that is pure, pure, deep and warm. ”
"King Garan knows this power...... Xiao Yibai finally opened his eyes, his eyes turned into a stunning ice blue uncontrollably, and said seriously, "Not only does he know the power of Shen Yue, he also knows how to use this power, King Garan...... I'm afraid it's a survivor of the fall from the sky. ”
"Survivor of the Falling Sky?" Gongsun Yan was taken aback, his eyes brightened, "Then doesn't he have to be thousands of years old?"
The three of them paused at the same time, remembering one thing, except for the Seven Forbidden Land Divine Guards, there is only one race that can have such a long life, and that is the Spirit Phoenix Clan with the Breath of the Spirit Phoenix!
Thinking of the abnormal behavior of the Snake Immortal and the Divine Guard of the Enchanting Mountain, the three of them gasped at the same time, that Yun Xiao, could it really be a descendant of the Lingfeng Clan, right? But the Lingfeng Clan does not have a human mixture, and the mixed-race child will definitely die early.
"This piece of Shenyue, shouldn't it be to save Yunxiao......" Gongsun Yan trembled and stretched out his hand and said his opinion, "The Lingfeng clan is not mixed-blood, but King Jialan made an exception, he knew that his and Yun Qiushui's children would definitely die, and even his wife would be implicated and killed, in order to save his wife and unborn child, he could only take the risk and use the eldest princess to steal Shenyue, the power of the Lingfeng clan originated from the immortal bird, it is a fiery and domineering divine power, and the power of the moon god attached to Shenyue may just be able to ease the breath of the Lingfeng......"
"Makes sense. Prince Mingxi pinched the ancient jade, and his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
Gongsun Yan's guess is reasonable, but it is undoubtedly dangerous, which means that there are indeed other people in the Lingfeng Clan, and this person is very likely to be the mastermind behind the rescue of the Lingyin Clan who assisted his father to break the seal of the Cang Shark and single-handedly planned the escape of the Lingyin Clan!
"Mingxi, give me Shenyue. After a long time, Xiao Yibai stood up and stretched out his hand to him, "I will try to unravel the hidden history in it, only by knowing the real history can we know what Emperor Tianquan's abnormal behavior for so many years is for, he is not a mediocre emperor, the art of immortality should just hide people's eyes and ears." ”
"Don't you think he's a mediocre emperor......" Startled by these words, Prince Mingxi trembled and looked at him in disbelief.
After so many years, thirty-six years have passed since his father succeeded to the throne, he suppressed aliens and exterminated major sects, he was moody, causing anger and resentment, and Xiao Yibai actually said that he was not a mediocre emperor?
His eyes were bright and extinguished, and he remembered his mother.
They used to be compatible, respectful of each other, and were the envy of everyone.
"A mediocre emperor can't teach a reasonable child. Xiao Yibai smiled, "I know what you've been doing for so many years. ”
"Heh......" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled dumbly, touching the jade wrench in his hand - there is his soul and soul in it, he does know his every move, but no matter what he does, Xiao Yibai has never stopped it, he always believes in all his decisions, even if these decisions are full of terrifying assassinations...... Or even extermination.
Xiao Yibai's body hides a history that is more terrifying than that of the Ming royal family, and until now it is still like a time bomb, making him unable to sleep peacefully every day and night.
"Forget it, you take it. Prince Mingxi threw Shen Yue to him, as if he was extremely tired for a moment, leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes to rest.
"Hey, you don't have a good face, but don't think about it anymore. Gongsun Yan touched his forehead, and his face sank, "You go to bed quickly, we won't bother you." ”
"You have a good rest, I'll go out and see what's going on. Xiao Yibai also hurriedly responded, he pushed open the corner of the window and looked out, and suddenly looked stunned.
Is it raining? The city on the north shore, which was still shining brightly, suddenly became overcast, and large dark clouds slowly moved from the shore, and a light rain had begun to drip.
The vendors on the street began to erect canopies, but more pedestrians were still partying in the rain, and he suddenly noticed the dazzling purple gold in the crowd, and then the chirping of the Tianzheng bird resounded in the air, and Xiao Qianye jumped down from the bird's back with a sword spirit in his hand, and landed in front of the forbidden army.
"Gao Jingping......" finally recognized that person, Xiao Yibai suddenly sobered up, he hurriedly put on a piece of clothing, and ran out in a hurry.
"Don't you stop him?" Gongsun Yan glanced at Mingxi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince closed his eyes and shook his head, "Let him go." ”
"It's Lord Gao's nephew, the newly appointed captain of the second team of the forbidden army, Gao Jingping. Gongsun Yan cautiously reminded him, and the prince suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Gao Jingping, with a bodyguard, had already collided head-on with Xiao Qianye.
"That guard, why does it look familiar?"
"Have you forgotten?" Gongsun Yan pointed at the person, "Eight years ago, he was supposed to take over the military pavilion, but he was picked up by Xiao Qianye, and then he was transferred to the forbidden army by Lord Gao, he is a great character, why did he become a personal guard?"
"You follow secretly!" Prince Mingxi sat precariously, his eyes full of cold light, "When necessary...... Get rid of them. ”
"......" Gongsun Yan didn't answer, and on the face of the stubborn disciple, there was a sudden hint of imperceptible fierceness.
