Chapter 407 Face
"No, I can't see my own face."
Lu Xuan told the truth that people in the Xuanmen sect could predict the future and resolve disasters, but they could not see their own faces.
Because everything moves with the mind. Once a thought arises, everything changes.
Bao Puzi's eyes lit up, "Master, is this someone who was previously in the Song family?"
Lu Xuan nodded.
Baopuzi laughed heartily. "Strange, strange! The Song family has a phoenix coming. If that's the case, judging from the face, that phoenix is the sect leader! You will be the mother of the world and the co-leader of Daliang. Only you can save the current mess."
"The Ji family has no phoenix destiny. You know that even if she becomes the queen, she will be the queen of a fake emperor. It's just a trick to replace the emperor with the emperor..."
Hearing this answer, coupled with the previous sensational truths, she was confused and nodded, a little breathless.
I didn't expect that the task left to me by the ancestors would be so important...
"Master, I have finished asking my questions. Then you..."
Her words were like a spell switch. As soon as she spoke, Baopuzi's soul became more and more hazy and transparent in the void, as if it was slowly fading away.
"This remnant of my soul is waiting for the Sect Master to come. Now that we have met today, this wisp of consciousness has completed its mission and will naturally dissipate between heaven and earth. Sect Master, I hope you can save the people, support the country, and help us achieve our wishes..."
As the last ray of golden light disappeared, the sounds in the empty training room became increasingly ethereal, and in an instant, darkness and silence returned to the room.
"Taoist, Taoist?"
There was no more voice answering.
Looking at the vast void, Lu Xuan felt as if there was a hole in his heart.
She stood against the wall for a while, then picked up the pottery jar on the table and put it back in its place.
"I already know all the answers. Let's go." There was a hint of loss in his voice.
Jiang Xing felt depressed. He nodded, took her hand, and walked out the door with Feixing and the other two.
Xuanyuan Temple is located on a mountain, and at night there is no familiar sound of clappers. Only the occasional cries of jackdaws and birds, each one counting the hours.
Back in the room, Lu Xuan opened the window to look at the moon in the sky, only to find that it was already the middle of the night.
To prevent anyone from discovering, there was no light in the room. She pulled Jiang Xing, Sang Luo and others together and quickly discussed with them what she had seen and learned tonight.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed.
Lu Xuan shook Jiang Xing's hand and said, "I'm afraid we have to act separately today."
Outside the window, the sky was already turning pale, and the first rays of sunlight embroidered a layer of golden edges along the mountains.
In the woods beside Xuanyuan Temple, all kinds of birds have begun chirping.
"I came here late last night, saying I wanted to burn the first incense, so I will go with Sang Luo to burn incense later. As for the prince, please hurry back to the capital!"
Jiang Xing did not agree and seemed to be still hesitating.
"Are we going to start so soon? But you're pregnant now, and I'm worried about you staying alone in Xuanyuan Temple..."
"We don't have much time. My eldest brother has to take Ji Xiangli to the Meridian Gate for execution today. So the best thing to do is to go down the mountain immediately and let him act as soon as possible. Then, tell him and Sister Xu the truth and let my eldest brother take the military order and leave the city first."
"What about me?" Jiang Xing's brows were furrowed into a deep "川" shape, and he looked a little haggard overnight.
"The prince's affairs are more important."
Her expression was gentle and her voice was steady, "Your Highness needs to bring Jiang Yuanfeng here for me!"
Jiang Xing subconsciously wanted to refuse, "But this is too dangerous. You are pregnant now, and he has a magical weapon in his hand. What if..."
"He's from my Shenji Sect. How could the Sect Master be afraid of a mere Left Protector? He's the one who's been seriously injured, while I'm the one who's making progress. Don't worry, it shouldn't be a problem. If he finds out I'm pregnant, I'll be in big trouble!"
……
There were strong winds and dark clouds yesterday, but fortunately they went away quickly. Not only did it not rain at all, but the weather is sunny again today.
Jiang Yuanfeng should have been happy when he put on the new clothes carefully selected for him by his beautiful concubine, but for some reason, he felt uneasy.
After sending the concubine away, he went back into the dark room.
Inside the dark room, in addition to various magical instruments, the four walls were covered with countless portraits.
If you look closely, you can see that the portraits are all of the same woman.
"Yunxun, Xun'er, you won't blame me, right?"
"I know she's your child, but she looks so much like Lu Lingchuan, not even a little bit like you."
"Otherwise, I would definitely pity her and let her go."
He held the portrait closest to him in his hand, his eyes as gentle as water.
The woman in the painting stands with her hands on her hips, holding a long whip, as if about to teach someone a lesson. Her expression is one of anger, yet also of coquettishness. Her eyes, filled with resentment, seem to hold a touch of intimacy.
He stroked the woman's eyebrows with his hands, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the years, with a bit of tenderness.
"Look, if you had promised me before that you would be my wife, then I would have promised you that I would treat her as my daughter. Why would it have come to this?"
"I know you're not angry with me, you're resentful of me, right? But I don't want to do that, because I know if I let her go, she definitely won't let me go either."
"She treated me much more cruelly than you did..."
It seemed as if he could never finish what he was saying. In the end, he just sat on the carpet in a daze, with a wry smile on his face.
He lay down, turned his head to look at the portrait of the woman who resented him, and continued to mutter to himself: "I spent half the night thinking about what your daughter and Jiang Xing's purpose was, but I couldn't figure it out. In the end, I think I must have been overthinking it, don't you think?"
"General Lu is simply trying to make things difficult for the Ji family, and Jiang Xing is using this as an excuse to pretend to be a victim due to pressure from the entire court, so that the arrest warrant for your daughter can be withdrawn, right?"
"Even if you're dead, you must be helping the Duke's Lu family and your daughter, right?"
"You will definitely not care about me..."
As he spoke, tears seemed to well up in his eyes.
"You are the only person in this world who treats me well, how can you just ignore me?"
"As long as you survive, I can hand over the Daliang Kingdom to you at any time and let you enjoy the most honorable glory. But why can't you wait for me?"
"..."
He lay on the ground for a while, until he felt a tightness and pain in his chest. Then he calmed down, stood up, turned on the mechanism, and walked towards the study room outside.
No matter what, it was still important to take care of my health first. Otherwise, if the truth came to light one day, and I couldn't fully utilize my profound skills due to my physical condition, it would be too dangerous.
Lu Xuan must have obtained the empress dowager's soul before, and who knows what he got out of it.
Originally, I had set up a murder trap in the palace that day, but who would have thought that she would escape? It was a backlash that I lost so much weight!
It is better to be prepared. As long as Lu Xuan is dealt with, we can rest assured from now on!
After leaving the study, a beautiful concubine with a silver bell around her waist brought in a purple crystal glass cup, which contained steaming nourishing medicinal food.
"Sir, where have you been? I've been searching for you for so long."
Her eyes were moving and her voice was charming. She slid down his body and sat on the couch beside him.
She stirred it with a spoon, scooped out a spoonful, put it on the small mouth and blew gently, then reached out and fed it to his mouth.
"You talk too much." After drinking the medicinal food brought by his concubine, Jiang Yuanfeng scolded her in a neither light nor heavy tone.
At this time, another concubine came outside the door, holding a bowl of sour and bitter Chinese medicine.
As soon as she came in, the concubine stamped her feet in anger, "My Lord, why did you drink what she brought first today? You can't be so partial."
She swayed her waist as she walked towards him. "Why don't you take the medicine first? After that, didn't you say yesterday that you would take me to watch the execution of the Ji family's master? Today, rumors are circulating that the Ji family murdered loyal officials in the Duke's Mansion, and that the prison van left the Duke's Mansion early this morning. I also want to see how this living dead can be executed!"
The beautiful concubine in front of him smiled coquettishly, but Jiang Yuanfeng shuddered when he heard her words.
There was a thunderbolt in his head, something bad happened!
