N-A-A Chapter 1590 The Man Behind
Chapter 1590 The Man Behind
Naturally, no one in Prince Jin's Mansion dared to laugh at Lu Zhaoling.
Nanny Qing also scolded the servants.
They had a bite to eat and it was almost time for lunch.
While waiting for lunch, Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue went to the study.
She searched Su Xiaolian's soul last night, but she hasn't told him what she saw yet.
Sitting at Zhou Shiyue's desk, Lu Zhaoling drew a few simple portraits.
"These are the people who have had contact with Su Xiaolian."
She pointed at the portraits and told Zhou Shiyue where they had probably talked and met Su Xiaolian.
Zhou Shiyue had suspected last night that someone was behind Su Xiaolian's meeting with him. He suspected it was Lord Shu, but Lu Zhaoling searched Su Xiaolian's memory and found no memory of her meeting Lord Shu.
All I saw were unfamiliar faces.
"It only shows that the other party is very cautious and cunning, and has never shown up himself."
"These are probably the ones who were sent here. You have to check."
Lu Zhaoling was only responsible for drawing these people, and the rest was left to Zhou Shiyue.
"Another point is that in Su Xiaolian's memory, her mother was not a simple person. Her mother was originally an evil cultivator, and she had a few nights of fleeting love affair with the emperor of the previous dynasty, which was also planned by the emperor."
Lu Zhaoling clicked his tongue.
"The other party originally wanted to plot against the emperor and then give birth to a son. Then, she would bring her son into the palace and kill the princes one by one. She would then help her son become the emperor and build a palace for him. She would then recruit all the Xuanmen people in the world to make her the Xuanmen Empress..."
From Su Xiaolian’s memory, Lu Zhaoling was stunned when he “saw” Su Xiaolian listening to her mother’s crazy plans when she was a child.
"That woman wanted her son to control the legitimate kingdom of the world, while she herself would control all the talented sorcerers in the world."
He wants to run rampant.
Zhou Shiyue sneered when he heard this.
"Very ambitious."
"Yes, she was too ambitious. She didn't expect to give birth to a daughter. Moreover, when she gave birth to her daughter, her enemies came to visit her. She was injured in the fight and lost all her cultivation. She could only live in hiding with her daughter for several years."
"Later, she schemed to send Su Xiaolian to a prince of the previous dynasty. She originally wanted to use that prince to bring Su Xiaolian into the palace to recognize her father, and then become the eldest princess."
Lu Zhaoling sighed and said, "I never expected that the prince, Su Xiaolian's half brother, would actually have feelings for her. Su Xiaolian later died in that prince's mansion."
Zhou Shiyue frowned. He didn't expect Su Xiaolian to die like that.
"Furthermore, after her death, she transformed into a fierce ghost and discovered that the prince already knew her identity. He even wanted to use her to frame his brother and, if necessary, to provoke the emperor."
Zhou Shiyue probably understood, "Is this the reason why she appeared in the cold palace after her death?"
"Yes. Su Xiaolian herself wasn't quite clear about the middle part. She became a fierce ghost, but later, for some reason, she was nourished and regained her sanity. She was no longer a fierce ghost that only knew how to kill."
"But after she regained consciousness, she was already in the cold palace, sealed within a formation. As long as there were four people alive there, the yin and yang energies would be suppressed to a balanced point. The formation would remain intact, and she would be able to remain aware of what was happening outside."
But Su Xiaolian had no idea who set up this formation and how she was sent there.
Later, the few people who had contact with her would send offerings to her from time to time. On the one hand, they wanted to burn them for her to please her, and on the other hand, they wanted to tell her what the outside world was like.
"The other two deposed concubines in the cold palace have been talking about you a lot," Lu Zhaoling glanced at Zhou Shiyue. "They even said that when you were still a baby, a high monk came to the palace to see you and said that you had an extremely noble destiny..."
"Oh right, it's Master Kongming."
Lu Zhaoling perked up.
"I once saw him in the memory of a fierce ghost named Niu Po. He was Master Kong Ming, who was acquainted with my father. He was the master who abstained from eating..."
"I've never seen or heard of him." Zhou Shiyue frowned, "My father never mentioned Master Kongming to me either."
"Right? It's strange to say, the last time the Emperor seemed to not know Master Kongming, but in Su Xiaolian's memory, the two deposed concubines clearly mentioned that Master Kongming had visited you in the palace."
This is very strange.
"Unless someone else in the palace invited Master Kongming." Zhou Shiyue's eyes flashed, "Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager had visited Ciyu Temple often in the past, and perhaps Master Kongming had also been there.
"Go check this yourself."
Lu Zhaoling put down his pen and prepared to take a break for a while.
She is tired.
"Anyway, Su Xiaolian herself was influenced by her evil mother as a child, and she was obsessed with gaining power and status, and she refused to give up even when she died. After listening to others' deliberate instigation, she felt that finding you would be the easiest way to fulfill her wish."
"Behind this was the help of the Barbarian High Priest, who helped her form a Yin Peach Blossom. Originally, the ghosts of Bai Shuixin and Buhanda should have also helped her marry you."
Zhou Shiyue took over her words.
"Fortunately, I have such a powerful helper like you, Master Ling, otherwise I would have been ambushed."
Zhou Shiyue hugged her from behind and pressed his body against hers. "Master Ling, thank you for your kindness. I will give you my body..."
Before he could finish his words, he remembered that he had promised Yin Yunting that even after the wedding, he would not touch Lu Zhaoling for the time being. His words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
Well, it's quite sad.
"Prince, Miss, lunch is ready." Qingbao called from outside.
Lu Zhaoling immediately pushed him away and stood up.
"Come on, come on. I'll go back to Huaiyuan after lunch. I'll leave the rest to you."
Zhou Shiyue watched her run out happily and sighed.
Okay, leave it to him.
Just let Lu Xiaoer wait to become his princess.
But Lu Zhaoling only remembered after lunch that they had to go to Huihe River today to find the token of the barbarian high priest.
I can’t go back to Huaiyuan for the time being.
Zhou Shiyue had a lot of things to investigate, so he sent most of his men out and took Lu Zhaoling and a few young men out of the city, heading towards Huihe River.
As for the capital, the Yuan family was about to file a complaint with the emperor because their house was smashed, but Zhou Shiyue ignored them.
When people make trouble in the palace, the prince has to help him settle these things. If he can't settle them, what's the point of fighting for that position?
To go to Huihe River, you have to go through the village where Aunt Yao and the others live.
Now Aunt Yao and her family are still in the capital. Zhou Shiyue and his family traveled in casual clothes and did not attract the attention of the villagers.
Lu Zhaoling did not get off the carriage. When passing through the village, she just lifted the curtain and took a few glances at the village.
When we reached the back of the village and entered the mountain road, the surroundings became quiet.
