Chapter 111: Strange Arts
Seeing that everyone had already gone away, the Queen Mother raised her hand and said to the little emperor: "Come here." ”
The little emperor approached his mother, and the queen mother was about to pick him up and sit on her lap as usual, but the little emperor took a step back: "Taifu taught me that from today on, I can no longer stick to you like a child, and I need to be an example for the whole people." ”
A hint of loss flashed across the Queen Mother's face.
The little emperor's eyes flashed, he smiled, rushed over, climbed on the queen mother's lap, and said, "When there is no one else, I think I can ignore the words of the Taifu first." ”
Only then did the Queen Mother soothe the expression on her face and asked, "Is it lively in the Jinluan Hall today?"
"Hmm. So many ministers knelt down to worship me, and they roared loudly. ”
"Are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid. It's a pity that before my father left, he ordered the eldest princess to assist me, not you, so you can't see the process of my ascension to the throne with your own eyes. ”
The Queen Mother didn't mind and said: "I can't figure out these cumbersome things about the peace of the people, the appointment and dismissal of officials, and the war, and I have a headache when I listen to it, so it's good for her to be the assistant to the government." I'm worried about something else. ”
"What's the matter, you don't have to worry about anything, I'm already an emperor!" said the little emperor obediently.
"Even the emperor can't do everything in the world. The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, and she said, "I received the news, my mother, has just passed away." ”
"Mother, don't be sad, you still have me!"
The Queen Mother hugged her son's small body tightly and asked, "Son, do you know what my mother is thinking now?"
"I don't know...... Mother, what's wrong with you?"
The Queen Mother's eyes wandered a little, and she whispered to herself: "My grandfather turned his black eyes into blue eyes in order to practice strange arts. When he used a magic spell against a shrine maiden, the shrine maiden cast a death curse on him and his offspring: the men of the clan did not live to live to be thirty, and the women to live no more than fifty. The retribution for the misuse of magic came to my grandfather, and he died. My mother tried her best to break the spell, but she suddenly fell ill and died. Although I have blue eyes, I have no magic, and if you do the same, is our bad luck over?"
"Mother, what are you talking about? I don't understand. ”
The Empress Dowager stared at the emperor with her eyes firmly and asked, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
"I don't know. What bad luck is that? I don't understand. "The little emperor is in a hurry.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, on this kind of happy day, I shouldn't say this." My son will live a long and safe life. She gently hugged the little emperor.
"Fixed!" After Ye Zhiyi, who was not far away, snapped his fingers, time and space seemed to freeze.
He approached the mother and son and asked the Queen Mother: "The magic seems to be closely related to the death curse, because the magic is in the body, and the death curse is triggered." And what kind of magic did your grandfather and mother have?"
The Queen Mother did not move and did not answer.
Ding Rong asked curiously, "Why didn't she react?
Ye Zhi knocked on his temple and said with a smile: "I asked the wrong person." I forgot that this was Jin Ruikai's dream, and the character in the dream may just be a character he subconsciously created, and he doesn't have much autonomy. ”
"I see, this one is similar to an NPC?"
"It's understandable. I just don't know if the emperor himself knows about the magic. Ye Zhi said, and then asked the little boy: "Jin Ruikai, did you really not understand what the Queen Mother said?"
The little emperor replied Mu Ran: "I, I understand." ”
"What? He pretended not to understand?" Ding Rong was very surprised, this is how old a child is, and he can actually lie. However, the Queen Mother is not clear, does he really understand?
Ye Zhi asked, "Why do you pretend you don't understand?"
Little Emperor: "If I understand this complicated family story, my mother will notice it, and I also have a strange art." Then she will definitely be more anxious. ”
"What do you mean, what kind of magic is it?"
The little emperor was silent for a moment and replied in a low voice, "Mind reading." ”
Ding Rong was shocked: "What? You start from the beginning, I don't understand ......"
"I've been mind-reading since I was a kid. If I wanted to, I could hear everyone's heart, such as my father's trust in me, my aunt's calculations about me, and my mother's worries. My magic was passed down by my mother's grandfather, my ancestor, and for some reason, when it came to my mother, she obviously didn't have the ability to read minds. But skipping her, the mind-reading technique was still passed on to me, so I knew about the death curse for a long time. However, it made my mother think that I was better off not reading minds. ”
"I also secretly checked a lot of classics, and at that time, the Zabu witch felt the humiliation of being spied on by the mind reader, and put a death curse on the ancestor, so the clansman who had mind reading skills was the object of her curse, and I was also within the scope of the death curse. Only by removing the mind reading technique can you get rid of the curse of death. However, in the texts, it is not written how to get rid of the magic. ”
Ye Zhidao: "I see...... so"
Looking at the doubts in Ding Rong's eyes, Ye Zhi added: "When I saw the emperor a few times, in addition to perceiving the traces of the Wanquan Fu on his body, I could also feel his casualness in his investigation of life and death, and he was a little more chic than others. ”
After speaking, Ye Zhi continued to ask Xiao Jin Ruikai: "Does anyone else know that you have mind reading skills?"
"I didn't tell anyone. My mother herself was very disgusted with mind reading, and when she said that her mother had seen her since she was a child, it made her fearful and uncomfortable. I don't think anyone wants to be seen through. The little emperor replied dumbfoundedly.
Ding Rong asked, "Didn't you tell Jin Pinglu either?"
"Jinping Road?...... Who is it?"
Ye Zhi whispered to Ding Rong: "Now his consciousness is stopped in this scene twenty years ago, when he didn't know that Senior Brother would appear. At this moment, the senior brother is still a little doll in the Hanshan Sect. ”
Ding Rong nodded and asked, "Then what about us?"
Out of nowhere, Ye Zhi took out the black jade Xiao and blew out a flowing flute sound.
Suddenly, the people and things around him were also blurred and distorted, and when the picture appeared clearly, it was already in the emperor's Fuyin Palace, and the little emperor had obviously grown up a lot, and he was a really handsome young man.
However, he was sitting on the bed bloodless, and in front of him stood the equally pale little boy. The little boy was only seven or eight years old, with bright but serious eyes and a high nose bridge, which could vaguely recognize the outline of King Rui.
The Young Emperor Jin Ruikai looked at his cousin's serious expression and said funny: "What are you doing? Wasn't it me who was injured? Why are you paler than me? Are you really frightened?"
Xiao Jinping said: "I was frightened, but not by the wolf. It's not been a day or two since you became the emperor, why did you come in chaos regardless of your own safety?"
"What kind of mess is it to save your brother?"
"I don't need you to save me, I have a ...... to protect myself!"
