Chapter 571: Suspicion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Master Duan Fang smiled and placed his hand covered in prayer beads on Ah Yu’s head. Fie nodded. “Young Benefactor, you’re blessed.” Under Old Madam Wang’s fixed gaze, he did not finish his sentence.
The blessing was deep, the kind that could moisten all living beings.
“Master Duan Fang gave you a blessing. All Yu, thank him,” Old Madam Wang said calmly.
Ah Yu did not suspect anything and thanked him obediently.
Master Duan Fang: “There’s a sillworm residence behind the meditation room. It’s the cocoon period now and the silkworms are being nurtured by everyone in the temple. If you’re interested, you can go over and take a look.”
Ah Yu’s eyes lit up. Cocoons! She really wanted to see it.
The silkworm farm in the village was in full swing, but because she was busy with her own matters, Ah Yu had not gone back to take a look for many years.
However, in the letters, she occasionally heard her family mention it. Now that she could see it with her own eyes, how could she miss it? She immediately went to the back.
“Grandma, I’ll go to the back to watch the cocooning. Call me if you need anything.”
Old Madam Wang: “Go.”
After Ah Yu left happily, Old Madam Wang asked, “1 remember you telling me back then about it. After so many years, have you found a new method?”
Master Duan Fang first shook his head, then nodded.
“What is the meaning of this?” Old Madam Wang raised her voice. “If you anger me, it won’t be good for you or this temple.”
“Princess, after so many years, you’ve removed your mask from the past and are living more and more wantonly. This is good too.” Master Duan Fang smiled as if he was an elder looking at a junior. He said, “It’s not that I want to play riddles with you. This Shared Fate Gu originally came from the dead Eastern Desert Kingdom. Back then, those who knew about it had already been executed. 1 wonder where this came from.”
The death of the Eastern Desert Kingdom was multifaceted. This country had evil intentions from top to bottom and liked to study all kinds of strange things. The Sound Transmission Grass that Ah Yu often used now was considered the most ordinary kind.
There were also some existences that could take people’s lives from thousands of miles away, or directly control them, as well as existences like the Shared Fate Gu that were both good and evil.
Back then, the Emperor of the Eastern Desert Kingdom loved to befriend other countries and give them all kinds of rare treasures and beauties, including his daughters, concubines, and so on.
These people later infiltrated the various countries, causing everyone to suffer heavy losses. The various countries also carried out various ruthless clean-up operations.
The Eastern Desert Kingdom was also courting death. There was no friendship between the Emperor and his children. In the end, not only did the Emperor’s children rebel, but even the people below also rebelled. The entire country could be said to be plunged into misery and suffering.
Back then, the Shared Fate Gu of Great Chang was inherited from the Eastern Desert Kingdom.
“Fortunately, it was only circulated in the palace back then and did not spread to the common people,” Master Duan Fang said. “The last portion was used on the late Emperor and Princess Wanru—”
“Alright, don’t mention those lousy things in front of me.” Old Madam Wang waved her hand, very impatient to hear this. “I just want to ask, since the last portion has already been used, why is there still one left now? You mean to say that this Shared Fate Gu was also circulated from the palace?”
At this point, Old Madam Wang also reacted. Qin Huai’s surname was Qin.
This was the surname of the royal family. Previously, she only thought that Qin Huai was the child of a certain prince or a child of a Duke, but she had never thought about it.
What if it was from that place?
The Emperor of Great Chang did not have many children. He only had three princes and a sickly princess from the Empress.
The three princes were all over 15 years old, so Qin Huai’s age did not match.
Only the sickly princess seemed to be the same age as Qin Huai.
Could it be…
