Chapter 1782 Someone Died
Lu Zhaoling felt that many of the congratulatory gifts were very thoughtful, because they truly touched her heart.
She made sure Qingyin and Qingbao remembered all the thoughtful gifts they gave, and that she would find an opportunity to reciprocate in the future.
Her return gift wouldn't let them suffer any loss.
She really wanted her master, uncles, and junior brothers to come and see the Nine Lions and Nine Lotus Jade Bottle, but it was getting dark and her master hadn't come over yet.
After a while, Qingyu came to deliver a message, saying that they had all returned to Huaiyuan and would not be coming to the Prince's Mansion today.
Did you go to Huaiyuan?
Lu Zhaoling sighed. "Then I'll just have to show it to them tomorrow."
Qingyin and Qingbao went to prepare dinner, and Lu Zhaoling then realized that Zhou Shiyue, who had said he was going to find something, was nowhere to be found.
"Where is your prince?" Lu Zhaoling called Qingmu over.
“The prince has been in the storeroom all this time,” Aoki said.
Since the prince hadn't returned here, Aoki had already asked beforehand, so that he could answer Lu Zhaoling's question.
"Still in the warehouse?"
Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised.
"Yes."
What exactly are you looking for that has been taking so long?
"Then I'll wait for him a little longer. You all go and have your dinner first. You don't need to stay here and keep watch."
"Yes."
All the young men withdrew.
The candlelight was turned up.
Seeing that Zhou Shiyue had not returned yet, Lu Zhaoling simply took out the Record of Emperor Ping of the Great Jin Dynasty and started flipping through it.
However, I encountered difficulties as soon as I started reading.
The text above is in ancient script. She could only carefully distinguish each character one by one, and there were still many characters she couldn't be sure of.
Qingbao once said that the Great Jin Dynasty was a very, very long-ago dynasty, but it was also very short-lived, lasting only ten years.
It perished in ten years.
Lu Zhaoling looked at it carefully for a long time, but could only understand a few lines by guessing.
The above seems to refer to a person who, during the Jin Dynasty, held a status equal to that of the Jin emperor.
However, outsiders didn't even know his real name, so they called him Emperor Ping, placing him alongside emperors, making him a king on equal footing.
The name "Emperor Ping" may have been given by the author of this book.
When Lu Zhaoling saw these lines, she thought of the ghosts of the Great Jin generals who came out of the Ghost Gate today, and how they addressed Zhou Shiyue.
She already had a vague guess in her mind.
Perhaps, Zhou Shiyue's previous life was this so-called King of the same rank?
She and her master were both capable of reincarnation, and Zhou Shiyue, possessing such terrifying merit, must have had an extraordinary past life. She and her junior brother had already guessed this.
However, no one knew who Zhou Shiyue was in his previous life.
Because she was mentally prepared, Lu Zhaoling accepted this point well.
What's bothering her now is how Zhou Shiyue died in his previous life? And why did the Great Jin Dynasty only last for ten years?
What happened?
The soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty appeared with tragic expressions, and were later forcibly taken back. The last bit of power from the Ghost Gate, which attacked Zhou Shiyue, all told her that the mastermind behind this was quite powerful.
If it were Zhou Shiyue's former enemy...
"Then I'll find him and smash his head in!"
Lu Zhaoling clenched her fist and swung it.
"That scared them to death."
A voice suddenly rang out, and Sheng San Niangzi jumped back, looking at Lu Zhaoling with a frightened expression.
“Master, they called out to you before they came in,” said Madam Sheng, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
Lu Zhaoling looked up at her.
"Oh? Really?" She touched the tip of her nose. "Did you call me just now?"
"No way? Master, your cultivation was destroyed just because you got married?" Madam Sheng looked at her incredulously, her eyes gradually becoming strange. "I've heard before that some masters have to remain virgins for life, otherwise their cultivation will plummet..."
"stop!"
Lu Zhaoling immediately interrupted her.
What the hell is this?
I can't listen to her talk any longer.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just a little engrossed in reading."
It's all because the ancient book's text is too difficult to understand. She was so engrossed in studying it, guessing that it was Zhou Shiyue's past life, that she didn't even hear Sheng San Niangzi's cry.
However, Lu Zhaoling glanced at Sheng San Niangzi.
Grandma Sheng must have called out very softly, and when she saw that the woman didn't move, she quietly approached again.
I guess he was thinking of scaring her a little.
Lu Zhaoling knew perfectly well that Granny Sheng still had a naive and innocent heart.
"What book are you reading so intently? Let me see."
Lu Zhaoling immediately closed the book and tucked it behind her back.
"You can't look at it."
"Ahem, could it be one of those instructional books?" Madam Sheng's eyes suddenly turned strange again. "Didn't Granny Qing and the others give you one before?"
She accidentally flipped through it at the time.
That makes sense. It's the prince and the master's first marriage. They were two children who knew nothing before, so they should learn a lot.
"Grandma, do you want me to help you clear out the junk in your brain?" Lu Zhaoling rolled up her sleeves.
"What waste? What waste is in my brain?"
"I'll pick you up and shake you, then you'll know."
Lu Zhaoling snorted, "Always thinking about random things."
Madam Sheng realized what was going on and chuckled twice. "What's the big deal? Don't we all have to learn new skills after marriage? Back when I was in the brothel, the matrons always told us that we had to learn a few more tricks to keep our clients, so we wouldn't end up like a dried-up salted fish..."
"Grandma."
Lu Zhaoling clenched her fist.
Madam Sheng immediately covered her mouth.
"Weren't you going to that Jianwangou to find your Xinsheng family?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
Why are you back so soon?
Hearing Lu Zhaoling ask this, Madam Sheng San remembered the important matter and quickly straightened her face, saying, "Yes, yes, I came to see the master to ask for his help. Someone died there!"
Someone died?
“It wasn’t one of our Sheng family members, but a few other people who were passing by. A family of three died there inexplicably, and our family members just happened to run into them.”
When Sheng San Niangzi got to this point, she couldn't laugh anymore.
"When the two ghost messengers went up to collect the souls, they insisted that the two children of the Sheng family were also supposed to die, as their names were on the soul collection record, while the other family of three who died originally only had one member die."
Lu Zhaoling frowned.
"You mean the ghost messengers suspect that the Sheng family switched the lives of two deceased individuals?"
“Yes, yes, that’s exactly what I mean,” said Madam Sheng. “If I hadn’t arrived just in time, those two children from the Sheng family would have been taken to the underworld by the ghost messengers for interrogation. Because I’m currently holding a position in the underworld, they gave me some face and allowed me to come back and find help.”
"You want me to argue with the ghost messengers for you?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"Master, how can you say that? They asked you to help them figure out what's going on."
