N-A-A Chapter 1742 The Mysterious Lady
Chapter 1742 The Mysterious Lady
Lu Zhaoling drew quite a few talismans today, and it was probably because of the appearance of the grape ghost. In addition, Qi A said that Duan Fan's master dealt with the reincarnation of his former brother. Lu Zhaoling had a feeling that the big figure behind the scenes or their real opponent was about to surface.
Adding to her anxiety about not being able to find her father, she drew more talismans today than she usually does.
She also drew quite a few offensive talismans, such as fire talismans and five-thunder explosion talismans. After drawing some talismans that she felt she needed, Lu Zhaoling rested for a while. Qingyin and Qingbao also came over. The two maids sat down beside her very considerately, massaging her wrists and telling her about Yao Shi.
Qingyin had already reported to Zhou Shiyue about the people and events that Yao Yutong had met in Nanzhao, but Lu Zhaoling had not yet heard about them.
After Qingyin finished speaking, she said to Lu Zhaoling, "After I spoke with the prince, he didn't say anything, but I think he will select some people and things that are useful for this matter. Your Highness, you don't need to think too much about it."
Both maids felt that these matters should be left to the prince to think about. After all, the princess was already tired enough from drawing talismans and dealing with ghosts and monsters. Things that required a lot of brainpower should be left to the prince.
Lu Zhaoling found her words somewhat amusing; these two maids were genuinely worried that she would get tired.
"Has Yao left the Prince's residence yet?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"Not yet. The prince just told her to continue waiting for news at the palace."
Lu Zhaoling asked, "Wasn't it said that she should go see Yao Yutong?"
Qingyin shook her head and said, "Doctor Fu was just writing a prescription for Yao Yutong and having someone prepare the medicine for her. Yao Yutong hasn't woken up yet. The prince is probably afraid that if Yao Shi sees Yao Yutong like this, she will think that our palace did it. So he wants Yao Yutong to wake up first, and then let Yao Shi see her."
Lu Zhaoling thought of her master and her uncle, and asked, "Is my master there too?"
She had barely finished asking her question when Zhou Shiyue arrived before Qingyin could answer.
I first told her about going to the ancestral temple tomorrow, and then asked her if she had any amulets.
Lu Zhaoling asked with some curiosity, "Who wants it?"
Many people in the Prince's Mansion probably already have protective amulets, and some even have more than one.
“Eunuch Qin just asked Granny Qing for it. I suspect he encountered something in the palace. The matter in the Cold Palace must not have been cleaned up yet.”
Lu Zhaoling asked in confusion, "Didn't my master already clean it up?"
Zhou Shiyue said, "Don't forget that the basement of the Cold Palace is connected to the back mountain, which is connected to the dragon vein, so I suspect that the person behind it may be making some moves again."
Lu Zhaoling was very impatient after hearing this. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "These people really need to be found out as soon as possible, otherwise they'll be driving people crazy with all this trouble they're causing all day long."
Zhou Shiyue grasped her hand. "You should change this habit first. It's okay to get angry, but why do you keep slamming the table?"
Lu Zhaoling glanced at him. "You need to change your focus. Are you talking about whether my hand hurts or not?"
Zhou Shiyue said, "Of course, nothing is more important than you. Your health is the most important thing."
Qingyin and Qingbao both chuckled to themselves after hearing this.
Lu Zhaoling saw their snickering and her cheeks flushed. She said to them, "You two step back a bit, lest your prince's words make you feel nauseous."
Qingyin and Qingbao laughed again, and the two stood up and retreated to the doorway.
Zhou Shiyue held Lu Zhaoling's hand, playing with it as he said to her, "Eunuch Qin has helped me a lot. My brother doesn't know that he should be considered one of my men."
In fact, Lu Zhaoling knew about this matter. In the past, when Eunuch Qin was in front of her, his tone of voice and attitude clearly showed that he was on Zhou Shiyue's side.
She thought the emperor was really stupid, not even noticing this.
"Eunuch Qin is quite shrewd. He has cultivated many spies in the palace, and most of the eunuchs are led by him. He is quite capable."
"It's not easy to become the chief eunuch, and even now, the Emperor still trusts him a lot and entrusts him with many things. I'm thinking of having Eunuch Qin follow the Crown Prince in the future."
Since Zhou Shiyue had said this to Lu Zhaoling, Lu Zhaoling understood his meaning: he wanted her to send a protective amulet to Eunuch Qin.
This is to explain that they are one of our own, so as not to upset her.
Lu Zhaoling took out two protective talismans and handed them to him.
"Do you think I'm such a stingy person? You don't need to explain so much to me. I'll give it to you as long as you ask."
Zhou Shiyue took the amulet and put it away, then looked at her and said, "A-Ling is so good to me. It's a little embarrassing to say this. If I just ask, you'll give me anything?"
His eyes were burning as he asked that question.
Upon seeing that look in his eyes, Lu Zhaoling knew that he had gone astray again, so she quickly grabbed his cheek and said, "Don't think nonsense. Don't end up looking all resentful when you can't do anything."
At this point, she chuckled again, thinking of Zhou Shiyue's pitiful state.
Zhou Shiyue felt a pang of hurt and sighed.
"Go ask around, is there any groom in the world who, on his wedding night, has his body frozen by the Ghost Abyss Mist released by the bride's junior brother? Even a bucket of cold water wouldn't be this cruel."
He's probably the only one in the whole world who gets this kind of treatment.
Lu Zhaoling burst into laughter.
Thinking back to that scene, she laughed so hard she fell into Zhou Shiyue's arms.
"This is something you'll probably never forget for the rest of your life. You're probably the only one in the world who's had an experience like this. Do you think the Ghost Abyss Mist is something you can just play around with?"
Zhou Shiyue said irritably, "You should ask Junior Brother Yin that question. How can you use something like that so carelessly? Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's a judge? When King Yama appears, I'll have to file a complaint against him."
The mention of Yama (the King of Hell) weighed heavily on Lu Zhaoling's mind. She not only wanted to find her father to investigate her mother's past, but now she also longed to find Yama.
"There's one more thing," Zhou Shiyue suddenly said. "Did Qingyin, that maid, mention anything Yao Shi brought up?"
"Mrs. Yao said that she once took Yao Yutong to meet a mysterious lady, and that lady was rumored to be the new favorite of the King of Nanzhao in the past two years."
