Chapter 743: Asking for souls (2)
Translator: 549690339
The students of the Imperial College called their friends out for a drink.
The supervisor reported this matter to the Chancellor and rebuked angrily, ‘ nearly half of the students in the Imperial College have gone out to fool around. Today is not a day off.
The white-haired old Chancellor leaned on the soft couch and said without any expression, ”
“What happened in the court today told us that the virtuous receive more help than the virtuous receive little help. The sage didn’t lie to me.”
What the Chancellor meant was that they should not be enemies with the masses. In the face of the general trend, they should appropriately abandon the rules and be tolerant … The supervisor was rebuffed and frowned in thought.
Huaiqing Manor.
Huaiqing, who was dressed in a plain white Palace dress and had long black hair like a waterfall, sat by the table. She looked at Lin ‘an who was in a red dress and smiled faintly, “”He has never disappointed anyone, has he?”
“After this, father’s reputation and the royal family’s reputation will fall to the bottom.”
She had an oval face and peach blossom eyes, and with a sweet smile, she said righteously, ” if you’ve done something wrong, you have to let it go. Although I don’t like to read, the Grand Tutor has taught us that it’s best to correct our mistakes.
Being a simple-minded person was also a happy thing … Huaiqing looked down on his sister in his heart, but he would not say it out loud.
It wasn’t to give face to Lin ‘an, but she would definitely explode and then fly over to Peck her face.
Huaiqing was annoyed.
Smart people would not find trouble for themselves.
Seeing that huaiqing did not speak, Lin ‘an lifted his snow-white chin. The complicated jewelry on his head swayed as he said in a tender voice,
some people always talk about righteousness and say that father is wrong. In the end, when you are needed, you immediately stop talking.
As she said this, she looked at huaiqing with a proud expression, indicating that she had won this round. She had finally bet on huaiqing once.
Framed referred to the matter of bringing li Miaozhen and Hengyuan into the
Imperial City and taking them in.
Huaiqing smiled.
After Xu Qi ‘an killed the two thieves, the depression in Lin’ an’s chest was swept away, and she became lively again. Moreover, because she had hidden the “traitor” the other day, with this participation, her thoughts were clear.
Otherwise, he would definitely hold it in for a long time. It wouldn’t become a knot in his heart, but this was a simple heart, so it would be more or less shrouded in haze.
This was the reason why huaiqing had deliberately “given” this credit to Lin ‘an.
However, huaiqing wasn’t the kind of sister who would allow Lin ‘an to provoke her and remain unmoved. He smiled approvingly and said, “That’s right, he’s much more responsible than your brother Crown Prince.”
Lin ‘an’s little face suddenly fell.
“I’m going back to my residence.” She got up angrily.
The pendant jingled, and a touch of light yellow reflected in huaiqing’s eyes. It was a piece of Jade with a moist texture.
The cold eldest princess’s eyes paused for a moment and she frowned, “What’s this on your waist?”
Lin ‘an stretched out his little white hand with the jade pendant in his palm.
Oh, ” he explained.
this is the jade pendant that the dog slave gave me. The quality and workmanship are not satisfactory, but this was carved by him. Look, there are so many flaws. If it was bought, it would definitely not be like this.
After saying that, she raised her face in a show-off manner, revealing her beautifully curved chin.
Perhaps she didn’t even notice that there was a little sweetness in her words.
Huai Qing’s pale face seemed to be in a storm, but it quickly returned to normal. “Get lost, don’t be an eyesore.”
“I was going to leave anyway, Hmph!”
She felt that huaiqing had stopped her just to say this last sentence to regain his face and suppress her.
She turned around unhappily and walked into the inner hall, swaying her slender waist and her skirt.
After the red dress left, huaiqing angrily took out a small seal from his pocket and threw it on the ground as if he was venting his anger.
After a while, she got up again and picked up the skirt. After a careful inspection, she found that one corner of the seal was missing a small hole.
His two beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he felt a little distressed.
In a secret room in the stargazing tower.
Xu Qi ‘an took off the yin Nan and untied the red knot. Two wisps of green smoke emerged and turned into que Yongxiu and Duke Cao in the air.
As the two souls appeared, the temperature in the room dropped.
This Yin Nan was specially made by li Miaozhen. It didn’t need an array to summon a new Ghost because the yin Nan had its own array.
Daoism was also good at making magic tools, although compared with warlocks, one was a side job, while the other was a professional.
High Duke Cao and que Yongxiu had just died, so they were still in a daze. They answered all questions without any thoughts.
“How did you know about the city massacre case?” Xu Qi ‘an looked at Duke
Cao.
“After que Yongxiu returned to the capital, he met with His Majesty in secret,”
High Duke Cao replied woodenly.”Not long after that, I was summoned by His Majesty to inform him of this matter.”
“What did he ask you to do?”
“Cooperate with him …. He said. This included helping him spread rumors in the Imperial court.
High Duke Cao only found out about the city massacre case after the incident. Well, the value of this ghost had plummeted.
Xu Qi ‘an turned to que Yongxiu and said, “”DO you know the whole story of the city massacre case?”
“I know,” que Yongxiu replied with a blank expression.
“Tell me the whole story of the case.”
Ah, her IQwas too low. She really couldn’t take advantage of such a loophole. She had to ask questions one by one … Xu Qian looked at him with disdain and asked calmly,
“Do you know that North vanquishing Prince is cooperating with the Dao chief of the earth sect and the high-ranked wizard of the wizard God religion?”
“I know.”
“Emperor Yuan jing knew about this long ago?”
“The massacre of the city was planned by His Majesty and King Huai …”
Xu Qi ‘an was not surprised by this answer, because he had already understood from the hints of Lord Wei that Emperor Yuan jing was most likely one of the masterminds behind all this.
“Why did you massacre the city and not start a war?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
the amount of blood essence required is too large. It’s a waste of time. Furthermore, the start of the war will cause many uncontrollable factors to appear in the plan. This is not safe. This was que Yongxiu’s reply.
“What is Emperor Yuan jing’s real purpose in planning this?” Xu Qi ‘an asked again.
He had always felt that Emperor Yuan jing indulged the North-guarding King too much and was even eager for the North-guarding King’s promotion. This was not in line with the mentality of an Emperor, and he was a paranoid Emperor.
Could the two words ‘martial arts fanatic’ really erase the suspicion and wariness of a shrewd Emperor?
“King Huai said that once he advances to the second rank, he will be able to check and balance the supervisors, allowing the imperial family to have a true pillar of the country. There was no need to be overly fearful of jianzheng and Yunlu Academy. This is also His Majesty’s wish.”
This reason isn’t enough. You believe it?
What que Yongxiu said next made Xu Qi ‘an’s expression change slightly. “Your Majesty, I want to refine a soul pill.”
Soul … Emperor Yuan jing wanted to refine a soul elixir? That’s not right. Didn’t the Golden Lotus Daoist say with certainty that the earth sect’s Dao head needed a soul core?
Therefore, one of the brothers wanted a blood pill, while the other wanted a soul pill. Hence, they were taking advantage of the commoners …
Daoist priest Golden Lotus had said that soul pills were used to strengthen one’s primordial spirit, act as. pill-refining material, refine magical treasures, repair an incomplete soul, and nurture artifact spirits … These words alone did not seem to be enough for Emperor Yuan jing to risk the world’s condemnation and sacrifice the people of an entire city.
Of course, the soul pill was only one of his gains. The blood pill could help the North vanquishing Prince reach the consummate level.
However, the one who benefited was North vanquishing Prince. In comparison, Emperor Yuan jings gains were not enough for him to take the risk and make this decision.
When a person’s gains weren’t proportional to the risks he took, things wouldn’t be as simple as they seemed … Xu Qi ‘an pinched the space between her eyebrows.
He didn’t think for too long and continued to ask, “”Where’s the core of soul?”
[ Note 1: the first sentence is the Han Wu Emperor’s self-condemnation decree, followed by Chongzhen’s self-condemnation decree. ]
[ PS: tomorrow, I’ll collect the Alliance master’s gifts for the past few days. ] I’ll have to thank you, but I won’t be able to make it in time today..
