An hour later, the Imperial Forest Army went to each room and took back a thick stack of paper.
Duan Yao flipped through it and sighed: "Is this writing a confession or a script." Although everyone has secrets, these people's secrets are too... Too many.
Chu Yuan asked: "Senior, can you watch it?"
Xuan Tian shook his head: "When the emperor wants me to see it, I will see it again." Hidden in the heart, I am afraid that most of them are shameful things, and it is also chilling to see them, so it is better not to see them.
Duan Yao lit the candle and looked at the stack of confessions together with Chu Yuan. If you don't mention such a thing, even if it is really a secret, outsiders should not want to know it... It also has no impact on the fate of Great Chu.
Chu Yuan took out a piece of paper and handed it to Duan Yao: "This is what I want to know."
"Huh?" Duan Yao took a cursory glance in his hand. The name of the person who wrote the confession was Zang Su. He obviously guessed something, so he didn't have to write everything down like the others. There was only a thin piece of paper, and the top of it explained things about Moon Cry Gu.
Zang Su's father, Zang Hai, was one of the best witch doctors on the island, so he was very respected on weekdays. During a visit to an old man from the northern faction, he took the opportunity to steal the Moon Cry Gu, but instead of handing it over to the leader of the southern faction, he secretly kept it in his room.
After Xuan Tian was driven off the island, the life of the Chaoya Clan did not get better, and the supply ships of the Nanyang people were no longer as diligent as before. But the days are always going to pass, so the Nanyang people proposed to select a group of Chaoya people to go to the sea to Da Chu and ask the emperor of Chu for some gold and silver jewelry to come back.
Chaoya was already popular in Chu State, so this group of people easily entered the palace. Relying on some overseas rumors and the voodoo technique of Gu worms, he also deceived the emperor of Chu at that time. Not only did he treat him well, but he was rewarded with a lot of gold and silver when he left. Before Zanghai went to sea, he already felt that there might be fierce battles on Chaoya Island in the future. In order to save the Moon Cry Gu, he took a risk and brought some out, waiting for an opportunity to plant it in the most beloved prince of Emperor Chu at that time, who was also the Prince of Great Chu. In Chu Yuan's body - in his opinion, this should be the safest candidate, with the protection of the Royal Forest Army, and will not move away like ordinary people. And as long as the host doesn't die, Moon Singing Gu can live forever, no matter what happens on Chaoya Island in the future, the clues to the treasure map will not be broken.
Five years after returning to the island, Zang Hai contracted a serious illness. When he was dying, he called Zang Su to the bedside and told him the secret. He also said that there was still a bottle of Moon Sound Gu on the island. If someone notices the clue, just destroy it. As long as Prince Chu Yuan is safe, he will not worry that Yueming will completely disappear from this world.
After being buried in the Tibetan Sea, Zang Su became more and more humble. In front of the Nanyang people, he could not wait to bow his head all the time, and even his companions looked down on him. But even so, it was almost impossible to escape the calamity of being killed - more and more Nanyang people were transported to Chaoya, and those exquisite mechanisms to attack and prevent voodoo, you don't need to think about it, nine times out of ten, it is for the sake of Against Da Chu. Just when everyone was worried, the Nanyang people finally removed the last layer of hypocrisy, and almost killed all the Chaoya people overnight, not even their cronies. But Tibetan sulfur and several other people were able to escape successfully because they were well prepared, and they also took advantage of the chaos and snatched the baby.
Originally, according to what everyone thought, they wanted to go to Wangcheng for help. After all, except for the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, Chaoya had no one else to rely on, but they did not expect that the Nanyang people would find out their whereabouts, and even bribed Yu Shu, the prefect of Cangnan, to cooperate with Feiluanlou. Issue a chasing order.
Although Tu Bujie is reckless, his kung fu is not low. When Zang Su was fighting with him, the porcelain bottle containing the Moon Sound Gu accidentally fell out of his sleeve. In order not to let his companions see the clue, he hesitated for a while, and the bottle was already crushed by Tu Bujie. Seeing the Gu worms that had been hidden for several years being destroyed, Zangli gritted his teeth in hatred, but he had nothing to do. He only hoped that when he came to the palace in the future, he could find a way to approach Chu Yuan and take out the remaining Yueming from his body. Unexpectedly, although the abacus was good, in the end, the bamboo basket was empty.
After Duan Yao and Xuan Tian read it, they just wanted to sigh. Not to mention that the treasure map is only half, even if the rumored Golden Island can be found, and it has been carefully calculated for so many years, it is really a madman.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Huai said, "What should those Chaoya people do?"
"Separately detained." Chu Yuan said, "If one day there is a serious war, these people may still be useful."
"Yes." Jiang Huai took the order to leave. Chu Yuan put down the confession in his hand and said, "It's not too early, let's stop here today."
Xuan Tian stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you?" Chu Yuan shook his head, "Senior originally stayed in Yunde City, so I should disturb the senior."
"Staying in Yunde City, it is inevitable that you will think about the tide cliff, and I don't know how the situation changes." Xuan Tian said, "Tonight can be regarded as finally having peace of mind."
"If I hadn't seen the seniors with my own eyes, these people wouldn't have confessed so easily, and they would still try to hide it." Chu Yuan said, "After all, they cooperated with foreign bandits to oppress their compatriots. According to the laws of Great Chu, ten heads are not enough to lose. ."
"It's okay to destroy it." Xuantian wiped away his tears and sighed, "If you destroy those outdated things, Chaoya Island will not rot from generation to generation. If you are willing to see such rebellious descendants and grandchildren in future generations, you are truly ashamed of immortals."
Chu Yuan called Si Xi and ordered him to take Xuan Tian back to rest. Duan Yao said: "Is the emperor still resting?"
Chu Yuan pointed to the booklet on the table.
Duan Yao complained: "It's easy for these officials to write a letter alone." No matter what, there is only one emperor.
Chu Yuan laughed: "I am the emperor, so naturally I should do these things, so I have no right to complain."
Duan Yao said: "But you can't be like this late at night." After thinking about it, she said, "My brother will feel distressed if he knows."
Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Duan Yao continued: "So let's go back and rest."
Chu Yuan was noncommittal, but asked, "Do you want to go with me when you go to court tomorrow?"
"Me?" Duan Yao was startled.
Chu Yuan nodded: "You."
Duan Yao was puzzled: "What am I going to do?"
Chu Yuan said: "Play."
Duan Yao: "..."
"Also let them see that the relationship between Zhen and the Southwest Mansion is not the same." Chu Yuan adjusted his collar for him, "No need to say anything, no need to do anything, just stand behind me."
Duan Yao thought for a while and agreed, "Okay!" Although she was actually not interested in a court, since her sister-in-law spoke up, not to mention standing beside the dragon chair, even if she wanted to hang it on the beam, there was no problem at all. of.
I just wish my brother could get married as soon as possible. After all, the red silk cannot be kept for a long time, and it will be distressed if it gets wet and insects grow.
So the next morning, looking at the boy with a sword standing beside Chu Yuan, the courtiers in the Golden Palace were a little dizzy.
What happened to the emperor recently? First, he had a secret conversation with the king of the Southwest, and he couldn't come out of the Suhuai Villa. Now he let the little prince of the Southwest House bring weapons into the palace, and he was standing beside him. He looked quite trusting and intimate. …
Even a cunning and cunning man like Liu Yishui, the Prime Minister of the Right, can't figure out what the holy meaning is. He can only infer that this is a sign that the ice is melting between the emperor and the king of Southwest China - or that a deal has been reached in private, at least in the case of the emperor. In the short term, the relationship between the Great Chu and the Southwest will no longer be as tense as before.
On the street, the hawkers have always been the most well-informed and the most accessible group of people in the royal city. Therefore, in the future small stories, the image of the Southwest King has also been raised a lot, at least his face is handsome, and his body is tall and looks quite pleasing to the eye.
Four Xi went out of the palace in person, picked the latest one and bought a dozen copies, all of which were sent to the imperial study. Chu Yuan flipped through the two volumes at random. Although the plot was bizarre and absurd, the pictures were very conscientious, and a lot of gold powder was sprinkled, and the candles lit up like a god.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, Eunuch Sixi was relieved, and lightly closed the door for him, holding his hands outside, just asking no more adults to come to hand over the book. After a busy day, it was rare to be quiet at this time. , you can have a good rest.
Chu Yuan bit the dumpling candy in his mouth and took out the third book, but his face froze when he opened it. The King of Southwest in the painting is still tall and tall, but he has no clothes on. Haha laughs wildly and lies in the garden. There are at least a dozen female goblins around him, with charming eyes like silk and an enchanting figure, looking extremely happy and indulgent.
The young emperor calmly picked up the book, approached the candle, and burned it.
Duan Yao carefully closed the tiles, and continued to lie on the roof to watch the stars. By the way, he mourned for his brother, and did not forget to take a look at the plum tree in the cold palace.
It is estimated that it will take a while before they can be moved back.
What happened on Chaoya Island has been roughly clarified. The Chaoya people were temporarily held in the Heavenly Prison, and the baby they brought was handed over to the nurse, and Cui Gu was also placed under house arrest in the palace.
A team of shadow guards quietly left the palace and went to Chaoya in the East China Sea to check the current situation. Under the care of the imperial physician, Xuan Tian's body and bones were much better than before. After Duan Yao personally sent him back to the North Palace, he rode his horse all the way to the south. Bai Yue, before leaving, said again and again that no matter what happened, she had to report back to Wang Cheng as soon as possible.
Only Father Sixi sighed in his heart, the Southwest King was not there, Duan Xiaowang was not there, and the Jiuwangye was in Sun Moon Villa most of the time. Although this palace was big, there was no one to speak with the emperor. If you are tired and tired, it is estimated that you will be able to fall asleep with the help of tranquilizers and Feixia as before.
The candles in the imperial study room flickered, and Chu Yuan stared at the map on the case in a trance.
From Wangcheng to the southwest, the road is really not close.
If he really went, he would come and go, and it is estimated that by the time he returned, most of the senior officials in the court would have died of anxiety.
So... as someone wished.
Chu Yuan laughed, propped his chin with one hand, and figured out whether Tao Rende would go to bed first, or Li Geng would faint first if he knew that he would not come back in the southwest. After thinking about it, the smile gradually faded, and when I opened my palm, there was a tiger-headed wrench in it, which was the military talisman of the Southwest Army.
Not just going home to heal.
Chu Yuan clenched the amulet again.
What's the matter... even this thing has to be handed over to myself.
The wind and rain outside the imperial study room seemed to have entered winter overnight.
Father-in-law Sixi also sighed outside, I'm afraid this year will be difficult.
"Ah!" Duan Yao also sneezed while wrapped in a thick jacket. Growing up in the southwest, this is the first time that she has encountered such a cold early winter.
It has been more than a month since I came back, and everything at home is the same as before, except for my brother who has been sleeping.
Zhao Wu took five shadow-chasing palace guards, and just after returning to the southwest for two days, he rushed to Beihaikou day and night, and went south by boat to find the legendary Emerald Kingdom and Tianchensha. Hua Tang stayed in the mansion to take care of the two young sons and Duan Yao, and also took care of the mother and son who were rescued again.
The time has come to the New Year's Eve, there are lanterns everywhere, and pairs are posted at the entrance of the Southwest Mansion, but the New Year's Eve dinner without people is always not a good taste. Duan Yao threw down his chopsticks halfway through eating and went back to the bedroom to continue to accompany his brother. After a while, Nan Moxie and Hua Tang came along, and after a while, Aunt Jin and mother-in-law were also standing by the bed. Look at Duan Baiyue in the wax seal.
The room was very quiet, no one spoke, and no one knew what to say. The firecrackers outside made it more and more cold and passive in the southwest mansion.
After a long time, Hua Tang said, "Xiao Wu hasn't replied for a long time, what is Master Nan's plan?"
"I expected this to be the case before." Nanmo evilly said, "After all, the Emerald-Myanmar Kingdom has always existed only in rumors. The South China Sea is endless and surrounded by white mist. It is abnormal to find it easily."
Huatang hesitated: "Then..."
"I can't wait." Nan Moxie shook his head, "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you have to wake up even if you don't wake up. Baiyu cocoon is a poisonous insect. After staying in the wax seal for a long time, it will be worth the loss if you get another poison."
"After waking up, do you want to practice the Bodhi Heart Sutra?" Hua Tang asked again.
Nanmo evilly said: "Yes."
"I never asked before, but this matter is very important." Hua Tang said, "If you practice the Bodhi Heart Sutra, what will be the consequences?"
As soon as the words came out, the room became more and more quiet, and everyone stared at Nan Moxie, waiting for him to give the answer.
Nan Moye replied: "No matter how bad the result is, at least it can save his life."
The meaning of this sentence is obvious, Duan Yao clenched his fists unconsciously.
"I just hope that Tianchensha can be found smoothly in the future, and things are not irreversible." Nan Mo said evilly, "Let's just leave it to fate."
Hua Tang still wanted to say something, hesitated again and again, but finally turned into a sigh. Duan Yao lay beside the bed and put her hand on the cold wax seal, wanting to cry again.
There are so many good people in this world, why is it that my brother is so rough and can't grow old with his sweetheart, and he is also injured and sick, even the bald Liu Da who sells biscuits on the street can't compare - at least he has a ruddy face and a voice Hong Liang, carrying a heavy burden, can shout and shout all the way without stopping, and walks like flying, it seems that he doesn't need to hire a husband in this life.
Thousands of miles away in the palace, a banquet is being held for the ministers at this time. Liu Dajiong said: "Old Tao, you look at the emperor, it seems that he has something on his mind."
Tao Rende put down the wine glass and said, "When did the emperor have no worries?"
Liu Dajiong was choked back, and after a while, he said, "But today is New Year's Eve, and I haven't heard of any troubles recently." Why is he in a bad mood even for the New Year.
Tao Rende said: "If you are really curious, why didn't Master Liu ask in person?"
"That can't be done, you think I'm stupid." Liu Dajiong waved his hands again and again, and asked me to touch this bad guy.
"Then calm down." Tao Rende glared at him: "Knowing that the emperor is not happy, he has to talk and talk like this, thinking that he has too much salary or something."
Liu Dajiong: "…"
Why so fierce.
Chu Yuan didn't care about the two of them. In fact, he had been restless since the banquet. In recent months, the letters from the Southwest House have indeed been delivered on time, and they have indeed described Duan Baiyue’s current situation in detail, but the content of each letter is similar. . Until this morning, I sent another letter saying that after the new year, I will open the wax seal and go to the ice room to start practicing the Bodhi Heart Sutra.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Father Sixi reminded in a low voice, "It's time for the banquet to go away."
Chu Yuan suddenly returned to his senses.
"It's almost time for application." Father Sixi said again.
Chu Yuan rubbed his swollen temples and nodded slightly: "Let's go, let all the Aiqings go back to rest earlier."
Looking at the dish that was barely touched in front of the emperor, Eunuch Sixi sighed, not knowing when the King of Southwest would come back.
The inside of the bedroom was cold and clear. After Chu Yuan took a shower, he leaned on the bedside and flipped through the book. After reading a few pages, his heart became more and more chaotic. He always felt that things were not very good. Business, I will set off for the southwest tonight.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Sixi was waiting beside him, looking really uncomfortable, "Can you get some tranquilizers?"
Chu Yuan shook his head: "I want to wake up for a while."
"But..." Eunuch Sixi looked embarrassed.
Chu Yuan said: "New Year's Eve was originally meant to keep the New Year's Eve, but now he is in a coma, so I'll keep it for him." Eliminate illnesses and disasters, and the coming year will be smoother.
Sixi said, "Yes."
Holding the military talisman in the palm of his hand, Chu Yuan sat for the whole night.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month to welcome the God of Wealth, on the tenth day of the first lunar month to pray for good rain, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to eat the Lantern Festival, and early in the morning on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Nan Moxie ordered someone to boil a pot of hot water, add medicinal powder into it, and lift the wax seal little by little. Duan Baiyue's expression was still the same as that day, but it was only after half an hour that she slowly woke up.
Nan Moye's head appeared in the sky.
Duan Baiyue looked at him for a moment and closed his eyes again.
Nan Moye asked, "How do you feel?"
Duan Baiyue said: "It was only halfway through a big dream. Master's face suddenly appeared. To be honest, it was really disappointing."
Nan Moxie was relieved: "Fortunately, I didn't sleep foolishly."
Duan Baiyue asked, "How long have I slept?"
Nanmo evilly said: "Today is the sixteenth of the first lunar month.
Duan Baiyue sighed: "That's really a long time."
"Let's go to the ice room with Master tomorrow." Nan Mo said evilly.
"Still want to practice the Bodhi Heart Sutra?" Duan Baiyue looked at the top of the bed and asked.
"The golden silkworm thread is added with corpse poison, and if it is dragged on, I'm afraid it will be dangerous." Nan Mo evil said, "The Bodhi Heart Sutra is the most sinister kung fu in the world. Only by turning yourself into a poison can you fight poison with poison."
Duan Baiyue said: "As of now, Master still doesn't know how to speak." There was no euphemism at all.
"The other side of Xiaowu has not replied yet, but with the strength of Chasing Shadow Palace, maybe he can really find Tianchensha." Nan Moxie continued, "Besides, there is a ghost doctor in Nanhai, and no one can say that in the future. What happened. And if you can find Tianchensha, even if you have practiced the Bodhicitta Heart Sutra, you will still be tall and handsome, with a jade tree facing the wind, and a dignified appearance, which will be enviable." So don't worry.
Duan Baiyue said, "Thank you, Master."
Nan Moye asked, "Can you write a letter to the emperor?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Okay."
Nan Mo evil said: "In this river and lake, there are many people who want to practice the Bodhi Heart Sutra, like crucian carp crossing the river. Thinking about it like this, do you feel more at ease?"
Duan Baiyue said: "No."
Nan Moye: "..."
Duan Baiyue closed his eyes, not knowing what state of mind he should be in.
Originally, I thought that after the golden silkworm line went dormant this time, I would personally take someone to the South China Sea. Although I might not be able to find it, at least I had enough time to make a choice so quickly. It's just that I didn't expect that there would be troubles, Lan Ji came back to life, and she was poisoned again by corpse poison, so that there was only one last way to go.
When the two separated, he had already guessed that it would be today's result, but he always instinctively didn't want to admit it, and even deceived himself, maybe Xiao Wu could really find Tian Chensha. It's just that after the big dream, even if you don't want to wake up again, there will be a day you have to face.
The Bodhi Heart Sutra... Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand and pressed her left chest, her heartbeat was a little weak, but she could still feel it, one after another. When he is completely quiet here, he should completely disappear from this world, just like the old senior guarding the old woman, he also finds a quiet corner and guards the only love in his life.
Looking at his appearance, Nan Moxie felt sour in his heart and couldn't help it. He turned around and rushed out, squatting in the courtyard and crying. I only regret that I was too used to it at the beginning, I didn't take good care of people, and I fell into an incurable injury.
At the market in Southwest City, hawkers are still happily selling the latest version of the "Bodhi Heart Sutra". This time, it can not only aphrodisiac, but also help to conceive. Both men and women can practice it, and the sales volume has doubled.
Unable to hold back the people in front of her who kept selling it, Duan Yao bought a book and casually flipped through it. Seeing that he seemed to be very good at doing business, other businessmen immediately surrounded him, selling the head rope, rouge, dagger, wordless scriptures, and even a fat monk who came from nowhere, benevolent and kind-hearted.
Duan Yao felt that his head was about to explode.
The fat monk said, "Do you want to count the little son?"
Duan Yao said, "I don't count."
The fat monk insisted: "You don't need money, you can count it for your family."
Duan Yao said: "Then give my brother a calculation of marriage."
The fat monk pinched his finger and pressed it for a long time, and said, "If your brother wants a good marriage, he will buy a bottle of medicine from me."
Duan Yao asked, "What medicine?"
The fat monk is extremely mysterious: "Aphrodisiac."
Duan Yao punched in the chest and simply knocked people flying.
The fat monk burst into tears and said while coughing: "Why is the little benefactor so cruel, my medicine is really a good medicine, the master of Qionghuagu Yegu prescribes it, it is a first-class doctor in the rivers and lakes, after taking it, it will not be a golden gun. Instead, Alliance Lord Shen said it was good after using it."
Duan Yao's fists clenched loudly.
The fat monk fled.
Duan Yao picked up the snacks she bought for the second sister-in-law on the table, turned around and went back to the Southwest Mansion, but was told by Aunt Jin that Huatang went out early in the morning, and she didn't know what to do, so she never came back.
