After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 88

After Yu Ran finished speaking, she allowed enough time for them to think about it, and after a while, she said, "Of course, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can wait until the crown prince returns from Lingnan to make a decision. Presumably in this way, your majesty can also take care of the crown prince's safety." Take it easy."

"My words have been brought. If the prince is willing, we can set off for Lingnan tomorrow. Of course——" Yu Ran looked at Shang Qingyao with a half-smile, "The prince can only go alone."

"Please ask Miss Yu to rest in the side hall first." Xie Tangru told the maid, "As for Miss Yu's proposal, I should let me think about it before making a decision."

"Naturally." Yu Ran was not in a hurry, she bowed her body, and was led by the maid to leave the hall.

Xie Tangru stopped the smile on his face and asked Shang Qingyao, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"The water in Lingnan is deep." Shang Qingyao frowned slightly, not quite agreeing, "There must be other solutions."

"I'm not talking about this." Xie Tangru glanced at him lightly, "I'm going to see my grandfather, can you stop me?" He went to Lingnan himself, considering the current situation, it was indeed the best way , there is no malice towards him, and it will not take his life.

"What I'm asking is when did you owe a favor?"

"...This has never happened before." Shang Qingyao was silent for a moment when asked, "I don't know either."

Xie Tangru laughed: "That may be a debt owed in the previous life." Although he was joking, his heart sank slightly. The scene in the dream was still vivid in his memory. In the dream, Zhang Xianshi did mention to Shang Qingyao that " Ghost Fang Clan".The ghosts of the Guifang clan are miraculous, Xie Tangru thinks it is not impossible to know the past and present, but the only thing that makes him uneasy is, did Shang Qingyao really agree to the request made by the Guifang clan?

How can he repay such affection?

You can't pay Shang Qingyao for your next life, right?

Shang Qingyao stared at him, the expression in his eyes surged, and finally returned to calm and nothingness, he stretched out his hand and hugged Xie Tangru tightly into his arms.Only by confirming that this person is well in his arms can he feel at ease.

Xie Tang rested his chin on his shoulder, and said in a comforting tone, "Since we don't know what's going on, I'll go to Lingnan to find out the truth. Maybe we can solve the hidden danger of the [-] army. And... ...I also want to find out about my mother."

Shang Qingyao gave a low "hmm", and he didn't know whether he agreed or just said he knew.

Xie Tangru was a little helpless.

But this trip to Lingnan is imperative.There are too many doubts waiting for him to reveal the answer.Xie Tangruo had an intuition that his grandfather, the last patriarch of the Jin family who was far away in Lingnan and was still alive and well, knew the truth.

Xie Tangru thinks that his grandfather, who has never met, is also very interesting. He is not of the blood of the Guifang clan, but he suppresses this extremely xenophobic and self-important race. He holds great power in the Guifang clan, and it seems that no one opposes it. he.

Such an interesting character, even if it wasn't Xie Tangru's grandfather, he still wanted to meet him.

The two discussed for another half an hour, and finally reached an agreement under the comfort of Xie Tangru.

Although a decision had been made, Xie Tangru had no intention of agreeing to Yu Ran.

Xie Tangru sat opposite her, and the blue-shirted maid made tea for the two of them in silence. The boiling hot tea jumped into the white porcelain cup from a height, rippled thinly, and the white mist floated in front of the vision of the two of them.

The tea in the palace is naturally excellent, and the aroma of Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots diffused, making Yu Ran move her nose uncontrollably.She is not as good at making tea as the noble ladies in Yuejing, but she can still recognize good things.

She couldn't help feeling in her heart that the family was rich and honored this day, and after a little bit of envy, she let out a sigh of relief.Yu Ran has always been clear about what she wants, and she feels that she is not like Yu Sheng, because there are too many unwillingnesses, so there are too many desires, and among all kinds of desires, she can't distinguish the priorities.Yu Ran knew her purpose from the very beginning. For example, she knew that Yu Sheng was not her real opponent, and the only one worth worrying about was Xie Tangru.But she didn't want to offend Xie Tangru, knowing that Xie Tangru didn't want to go back to Lingnan, Yu Ran was willing to sell him a favor.

"Xie Shizi." She took a sip of tea and looked at him with bright eyes, "This tea is very good, may I bring some back to Lingnan?"

"Of course." Xie Tangru slightly raised his hand to signal, and someone immediately prepared, "But Miss Yu is so sure that she will be able to return to Lingnan alive?"

"Xie Shizi will let me go back." Yu Ran showed a smug smile, "The direct line of the clan is withered, Yu Sheng is dead, and there is actually no suitable candidate except me and the prince. If I die too, the clan It will definitely trouble the son. I don't think the son likes trouble."

Xie Tangru didn't comment on her opinion, but casually brought up other topics: "Speaking of Yu Sheng, I have some doubts."

"My son, please tell me." Yu Ran held the teacup and asked the palace lady to have another cup of tea with a smile.

"Yu Sheng is dead, but Shen Yu is still alive." Xie Tangru stared at her, seeing that her expression calmed down from shock and disbelief, to one of pity and bewilderment.

Yu Ran lowered her voice: "If someone else asks about this, I don't want to say it. But Mr. Xie, you are from my clan, so it's okay to tell you—it's longevity Gu."

Yu Ran explained to him the origin and use of Longevity Gu, which was no different from what Yu Sheng said.

"Longevity Gu is a Gu that will be planted by every member of the Guifang clan when they are born. There is only this one plant. Unless the body dies, the Gu will never leave the body. But because Yu Sheng was not born in the clan, the longevity Gu in her body She dug it out and planted it on Shen Yu's body to save her life. But the longevity Gu is not a real fairy method, and Shen Yu escaped because of the longevity Gu. Jie, the Longevity Gu used his own vitality to repair his injuries. He won't live for a few years."

Neither Yu Ran nor Xie Tangru could know the complicated and tortuous experiences, they could only piece together a rough outline.

"If there is Longevity Gu, Yu Sheng might not die. I thought it was because Longevity Gu didn't have the effect in the rumors, and Yu Sheng died because of Concentric Gu. I didn't expect that she would give Shen Yu something to save her life." Yu Ran was quite embarrassed, but also very incredible.

"So that's the case." Xie Tangru nodded, not seeing anything unusual.

Yu Ran felt that he was really a heartless and ungrateful person, so Shang Qingyao asked him to treat him differently.Thinking of these two, Yu Ran felt that Xie Tangru really looked like his grandfather.

The same coolness, but also the same deep affection.

It just has nothing to do with her.Yu Ran straightened her expression, "When is your son planning to leave for Lingnan?"

"Don't worry." Xie Tangru responded unhurriedly, "Ms. Yu didn't come to Beijing to recognize her sisters. Now she doesn't even want her sisters anymore?"

Yu Ran turned her eyes away, "Jian Shuang doesn't want to go back with me, and I don't want to force it."

"Really?" Xie Tangru smiled.

"I know this matter can't be hidden from the crown prince when it comes to Lingnan." Yu Ran sighed, "In this case, it's better for me to say it myself. Jianshuang is my sister, not my sister."

Xie Tangru raised his eyebrows.

Yu Ran was not in a hurry, and asked calmly, "Does Mr. Xie know about your mother's background?"

He tapped his knee with his fingers, and moved his fingertips slightly. Xie Tang looked back calmly, making it difficult for Yu Ran to judge how much he knew, so he had to start from the beginning.

Xie Tangru's mother's life experience is related to a mystery of the Guifang clan many years ago.At that time, the Guifang clan reached an agreement with the incumbent emperor, and the two parties agreed to get rid of the Jin clan entrenched in Lingnan.In order to ensure that the plan is perfect, Yu Chu, the young master of the Guifang clan, went to the Jin clan to work on it carefully.At that time, the Jin family was negotiating marriage with the patriarch, and the young master of the Guifang clan pretended to be a woman for convenience.

Due to a chance meeting, the head of the Jin family fell in love with Yu Chu at first sight and married him as his wife.Yu Chu was also moved by people, seeing that the Jin family has no heirs, and the wolves and tigers and leopards around the head of the Jin family are watching him, hoping that he will die early.As the young master, Yu Chu is proficient in various secret methods of the Guifang clan. As a man, he is unable to conceive, so he uses his own blood to drink the blood of the Patriarch of the Jin family as a medium to feed a special Gu.

After the Gu has been cultivated for ten months, it will be introduced into Yu Chu's abdomen, using the body as a container, and a child will be born in three hundred days.

The wife of the head of the family is pregnant, which means that the side plan has failed, and the huge family property of the Jin family has been missed.The Guifang clan, on the other hand, did not want their young master to give up the throne for a man. With the cooperation of the two parties, they planned to transfer the head of the Jin family away from the mountain, and then let the side branch murder the wife of the master. In fact, the real Yu Chu was brought by the Guifang clan. Back to the clan.

When the head of the Jin family returned, he found that his wife had "died unexpectedly". This weak man had bloodbathed the entire Jin family that day, and all branches died.One of the side branches who knew the truth told him the news that Yu Chu was still alive in order to save his life.

So the entire Jin family completely disappeared in the fire, but the head of the Jin family knocked on the door of the Guifang clan that never accepted outsiders with a strong wrist.However, Yu Chu was brought back by force, and the Guifang clan was unwilling to let the vomit in his belly be born. In order to protect the child, Yu Chu could only cut out the embryo that was not yet fully formed, and put it in a greenhouse for secret cultivation.After all, the Guifang clan didn't dare to force Yu Chu too much, so they agreed to it.But the secret technique was inherently harmful, not to mention that the secret technique was interrupted without warning, and Yu Chu's body deteriorated rapidly.

In order to save his life, the Patriarch of the Jin family planted a concentric Gu together with him.But Yu Chu only hangs his life by this method, and has kept his breath for so many years without waking up.

The head of the Jin family was stimulated by Yu Chu's state, and while firmly controlling the power of the Guifang clan, he also killed many direct descendants who persecuted Yu Chu back then.As a result, in Yu Ran's generation, the bloodline of the direct line withered.

"Madam Jin is the child born of Gu." Yu Ran said, "She was conceived in the greenhouse for nearly ten years, and she was not really born until everyone forgot about her."

"The Guifang clan doesn't recognize her. Because she's a voodoo, not a real person." Yu Ran said softly, "But her other father is a complete lunatic. The secret technique of voodoo, all pregnant women of that generation were planted with this cryptic technique - this means that one of the children they gave birth to was a normal baby, while the other was an unrecognized voodoo things."

This kind of behavior was indeed extremely crazy, but it also made everyone who dared to criticize Jin Lianyu shut up.

"From now on, every child in the Guifang clan will be born with exactly the same voodoo." Yu Ran closed her eyes, "What's even more cruel is that when all the children were eight years old, their parents A choice must be made—choose what they think is a voodoo, and kill him. Only one child will remain."

"But the parents can't tell the difference. What's more, the two children have been raised for so many years, and they can't bear to kill them. This is revenge, but we have nothing to do."

"Jianshuang and I are the last pair of children born like this." Yu Ran stroked her eyes with her fingertips to block the changing expression, "After we were born, my mother had no other way to beg Mrs. Jin. So Mrs. Jin took Jianshuang as In the name of Gu, Jianshuang was taken away from the Guifang clan before they left."

"Madam Jin's attitude made that man stop, and the children of the Guifang clan were able to be born normally again."

No wonder her mother kept secrets about all kinds of things about the Guifang clan.Among the group of sick lunatics of the Guifang clan, his mother is really out of the mud and untouched.And judging from her mother's sympathy for Jianshuang, she actually still cared about the difference between being a "voodoo" and a normal child.

Xie Tangru was thoughtful: "Then my mother never promised to let Jianshuang return to Lingnan."

"It's true. I lied." Yu Ran didn't blush, and the silver bell next to her ear rang twice, with a crisp voice, "Actually, it was your grandfather who asked me to take Jianshuang back. "

"Take it back?" Xie Tangru smiled coldly, "What are you doing?"

"I don't know." Yu Ran spread her hands, "Who can guess the mind of an out-of-control lunatic. I don't even know who is the voodoo between Jianshuang and me. But before he sent a message saying that I don't need it I brought him back. Anyway, Jianshuang also wants to stay in the capital, so I don't have to worry about having another opponent, everyone is happy."

She has been passive and sabotage for so long, without using any tough measures, which is the only meager sisterhood she has left.

Xie Tangru's mind sank.

His grandfather is really a lunatic who acts without rules.

It's hard to deal with.

For this trip to Lingnan, Xie Tangru had to cheer up.

"Thank you, Miss Yu, for letting me know."

.........

"So my mother's life experience..." Xie Tangru briefly explained the matter to his father. Wei Guogong seemed to be drained of all his strength after hearing this, and did not speak for a long time.

After a while, Wei Guogong said in a deep voice: "She is the wife I'm married to, and she has to enter my Xie family's ancestral grave when she dies. It's next to my name in the genealogy. What does it have to do with the smoky and smoky tribes on the Lingnan border!"

"I'll go and ask the emperor for an order later, and beat up those stupid people in Lingnan."

Xie Shizi patted the center of his eyebrows, and held Wei Guogong who was in a panic.

"You are quite old, so you can enjoy your life at home with peace of mind. I will figure out my mother's affairs, you old man don't have to worry."

Wei Guogong snorted twice, finally calmed down, and accepted Xie Tangru's words.

On the day of departure for Lingnan, Xie Tangru bid farewell from the green terrace, with only a white line showing in the sky.

He looked at Shang Qingyao, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled, "When I come back, everything in the Ministry of Rites should be ready. At that time, I want to ask His Majesty for a reward. I wonder what Your Majesty would like?"

"What?" Shang Qingyao moved his lips, his eyes fixed on Xie Tangru's face, as if he was going to disappear completely in a second.

"I like the phoenix seal in His Majesty's palace very much."

Xie Tangru smiled.

"I hope His Majesty is willing to part with you in the future."

"it is good."

It is decisive and resounding.
