Reborn on the wedding night, the regent princess said she knew she was wrong
Chapter 425 The Secret Deep in the Palace
Yun Qingluo glanced at the sleeping Yin Shaoxi, then carefully moved towards Mo Beichen and asked in a low voice, "Achen, have you really thought it through? This is not a joke."
Mo Beichen nodded slightly and said that it was not a big deal. He didn't understand why Luo Luo reacted so strongly. She should be happy.
Yun Qingluo was silent for a moment, then turned around and looked at the continuous heavy rain outside the car window.
She knew what this decision meant. It was not easy to be an empress.
Even in modern times, women do not have an equal status in the workplace, officialdom, business, or even in family roles, let alone in ancient times.
Prejudice is an insurmountable mountain. If you can't climb over it, you will be exhausted to death.
She never thought of letting Qian Yue become the empress. She just hoped that her little princess could live a safe and smooth life. That was enough.
Of course, Ze Yan was also like that, but she had already brainwashed herself long ago that Ze Yan was the prince and she couldn't interfere too much. He was destined to suffer a lot, so she had to vaccinate herself in advance.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Both children are still young.
"Achen, let's talk about this later. Let's solve the current problem first." Yun Qingluo turned her head and leaned on Mo Beichen's shoulder, saying softly.
Mo Beichen didn't understand why Yun Qingluo suddenly changed the subject, but he knew that Yun Qingluo had his own ideas and considerations.
Since she didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, he believed that Luo Luo would tell him everything sooner or later, it was just a matter of time.
And there is plenty of time between them.
"Okay, no rush." Mo Beichen hugged Yun Qingluo's slender waist and gently kissed her forehead.
Xuancang Continent, Imperial Palace.
Xuan Ming sat at the desk, carefully flipping through the book in his hands, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about the contents of the book.
He has been reading the book for two days in a row.
Xuan Ming gently put down the book in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows to relieve his tired eyes.
He looked out the window; the incessant rain made him feel a little irritated.
Xuan Ming thought of his fiancée and felt a surge of guilt.
Since the disaster, he has been busy with government affairs and even had to postpone the wedding banquet. He knew she must be very disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.
Xuan Ming took a deep breath, picked up the book again and continued reading.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw a black figure walking in.
"Your Highness, Yingzhu said you have something to ask me?" Yingzi walked up to Xuanming, bowed, and said respectfully.
Xuan Ming nodded, "It's just the two of us, so don't restrict yourself. You don't have to be so polite."
Then he asked, "What are Mo Beichen and the others doing recently?"
He remembered that he had been invited to attend his wedding banquet, but he refused because he had to rush back to see his children.
I just sent out the invitations a few days ago, so I don’t think I’ll be in a hurry to go back this time.
Shadow hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth.
"Did they go to Minchuan?" Xuan Ming was a little surprised. He had been busy with government affairs and now had little time to ask, but he didn't expect to get this answer.
Shadow hesitated, then nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."
Xuan Ming frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What are they doing there?"
Shadow lowered his head and whispered, "They brought several carriages of medicine and were heading to the disaster area."
Xuan Ming was shocked. He didn't expect that they would go to the disaster area.
Xuan Ming was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are they going to help with disaster relief?"
Shadow lowered his head, not daring to look Xuan Ming in the eye, and said softly, "Your Highness, I don't know."
Xuan Ming frowned, he knew that Shadow must be hiding something.
He stared at Shadow with eyes as sharp as a knife. After a while, Shadow felt cold all over and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xuan Ming saw that Shadow looked somewhat relaxed, so he slowly spoke: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Shadow gritted his teeth and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, they did go to help the victims."
Xuan Ming regained his composure and continued to ask, "Why did they do this?"
Shadow took a deep breath and explained, "Your Majesty, they are all kind people who cannot bear to see the victims suffer."
Xuan Ming said with a smile, "Only you can come up with such a lame excuse. Would Mo Beichen have the temerity to meddle in other people's affairs?"
"Perhaps because he saw that Your Highness had helped a lot, he wanted to help us too." Shadow answered in a serious tone.
"We all put profit above all else, Ying, don't make me angry." Xuan Ming put away his smile and said lightly.
When Shadow heard this, he immediately fell to his knees.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. Miss Mu mobilized Xuanfeng to protect them. She said she would explain it to you later, so I didn't dare to tell you in advance." Yingzi said sorry to Mu Zhi in his heart, and then reported the whole situation to Xuanming.
When Xuan Ming knew that Xuan Feng had recognized his master, he thought it was just a coincidence and didn't expect there was such a story in between.
"I'll go see her." Xuan Ming said and stood up.
Shadow looked confused, he couldn't keep up with his highness's thinking.
Why do you suddenly want to go and have a look?
That's not what he meant. What if we meet and have a quarrel?
"Your Highness, it is raining heavily outside. It will not be too late to go tomorrow." The shadow quickly flashed in front of Xuan Ming, blocking his way.
Xuan Ming looked unhappy. "I finally got some free time. I'll be back soon. Please get out of the way. This girl has helped me so much. The Imperial Tutor has been to the palace many times, but she never mentioned it."
The Master Mu who was being talked about was reviewing memorials in his study when he sneezed violently.
Xuan Ming turned around to avoid the shadow blocking his way and continued walking towards the door, but was stopped by the shadow again.
"Your Highness, Miss Mu told me to keep an eye on you, not to let you get wet in the rain, to drink and eat cold food, and to wear more clothes..." Shadow recited all that Mu Zhi said in one breath.
He thought that His Highness would interrupt him impatiently, after all, this long conversation was just a trivial matter.
However, to his surprise, Xuan Ming not only did not stop him, but instead changed his hurried expression and seemed to be... enjoying it?
After Shadow finished speaking with his head down, he waited for a long time but received no response.
He raised his head in confusion, only to find that His Highness was in a daze with a faint smile on his lips.
He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and waited for a while. He couldn't help it and shouted softly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Xuan Ming was brought back to reality by his voice. He glared at the shadow, then turned and walked back.
Shadow raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly surprised: Could this solve the problem?
He originally thought that His Highness would be angry because of his nagging, but now it seems that the situation is completely different.
"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear that I can't drink cold drinks? Go and get me a cup of hot tea." Xuan Ming walked to the table and sat down, then picked up the book in his hand and began to read.
His expression returned to calm, so calm that Shadow felt as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Shadow responded quickly, quickly going to prepare some hot tea.
Xuan Ming's desk was piled with books, including various rare books and miscellaneous notes. Since he couldn't leave the palace to go to the disaster area, he could only look at these ancient books to see if there were any records related to the epidemic.
Shadow came in with hot tea, found a space on the table, and placed the tea on the empty space.
He watched his own prince pick up the hot tea and drink it, and he couldn't help feeling surprised.
His Highness' temper was as stubborn as his. This was the first time that his Highness had obeyed him before he had even started to persuade him seriously.
It was strange how he could describe His Highness as obedient.
Shadow didn't dare to think too much, so he picked up the teacup that had already gone cold on the table and walked out.
There are no eunuchs in your highness's palace. No, to be precise, the Xumi Palace never uses eunuchs. Even those who serve openly are all death warriors or people from the Xuan Palace.
late at night.
The entire palace was plunged into darkness.
Several auras emerged in the void from the depths of the palace.
"This time, Xiao Xuanzi is going to be in trouble. Hey, I say, are you old guys really just going to sit there and watch?"
"What can we do? We can't leave the palace, and the kid doesn't need medicine, so he can't awaken his power. Then we can only be imprisoned in the palace."
"After so many years, are we trapped here?" an old voice sighed.
Another one with a gruff voice shouted, "Old buddy, you must be so happy in your heart. The emperor would rather be tortured to death by illness than use the medicine man as medicine. This shows that the emperor has a good character. This is a blessing for Xuan Cang Continent. If he had used the medicine man, you would have rushed out to beat him up even at the risk of imprisoning him."
"That's true, but we have people. Hehe, come on, go and check who is jumping around in Minchuan. Find out clearly for me, don't miss a single one." The old voice said with a smile.
"You really know how to play. Tsk tsk, you've played with this restriction very well." A heroic female voice suddenly interrupted.
"Oh, are you willing to come out? I have bad news for you. The brat has postponed his wedding banquet, so the palace won't be lively for a while." A scholarly voice suddenly spoke.
"We have waited for so many years, and a few days won't make any difference. Hush, someone is coming, let's go, this little shadow is getting stronger and stronger."
As soon as the words fell, several auras disappeared without a trace.
Shadow jumped onto a high wall and looked around warily.
It's strange. I clearly felt some powerful auras here just now, but how come they disappeared as soon as I came here?
Shadow remembered the vague breath he felt last time. He looked up at the night sky thoughtfully, then looked around carefully.
Although I still didn't gain anything, at least I was sure of one thing: my last feeling was not an illusion.
One day, he will find it out.
"What happened just now?" Xuan Ming asked without raising his eyes, staring at the book in his hand.
"I sensed the presence of a group of unfamiliar strong men, but when I rushed over, the presence disappeared without a trace, as if it was just an illusion."
"Where is it?" Xuan Ming's expression did not change when he heard this, and he did not even pause for the moment in turning the pages of the book.
"Jin Yuan." Shadow's voice was low and serious.
Xuan Ming still just nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.
"Put these books back. They are useless. Never mind. Since they have already gone to the disaster area, maybe they can solve the problem there. Send another group of people over and make sure to protect them."
Xuan Ming stood up, stretched his body gently, loosened his sore shoulders, and then gave instructions to Shadow.
Shadow nodded, then turned around and went out to call someone to come in and move the books away.
After the others left, Shadow looked at Xuan Ming, his tone gentle and with a hint of concern: "Your Highness, you haven't slept since yesterday, and you look very bad. Why don't you go and rest for a while."
Xuan Ming touched his face in surprise and asked, "Oh? Is it that obvious?"
Shadow nodded firmly, indicating that it was true.
Xuan Ming chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll go get some sleep. My body is even more delicate now than when I was sick before!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to signal Shadow to retreat.
After the shadow left, Xuan Ming slowly walked towards the bed in the inner hall.
As he walked to the bed, he heard the door close softly behind him.
At this time, the smile on Xuan Ming's face gradually disappeared.
He stopped and stood quietly, staring ahead.
After a while, he silently turned his head and looked in the direction of Jinyuan.
Passing through the Golden Garden is the deepest part of the palace - the place he was once very familiar with.
Long ago, someone from the palace went there to clear the fallen leaves, but when they returned they became crazy and claimed to have seen ghosts there.
So the palace sent people to investigate, but in the end no clues or explanations were found.
From then on, the palace people were afraid of that place and were unwilling to go there again. Gradually, the place became desolate.
Later, it was fenced off and became a forbidden area, and the palace in front of it, Jinyuan, gradually became a desolate cold palace.
Humph, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. These were just a bunch of old guys who were conservative and stubborn.
That’s right, Xuan Ming had long known that there were some people hidden in the deepest part of the imperial palace. Those people were a group of old ministers who had accompanied the first generation of kings of the Xuan Cang Dynasty in conquering the world.
But what is puzzling is that they seem to have the ability to remain immortal.
These secrets were told to him by Xuan Ming's father, the Emperor.
Xuan Ming's father told him seriously that the reason they were immortal was because of the curse suffered by the Xuan Cang Dynasty.
However, my father could not give a definite explanation for the origin of this curse.
Despite this, the emperor still solemnly warned Xuanming that he was absolutely not allowed to use medicine men to prolong his life.
This made Xuan Ming feel confused and puzzled, because he could clearly get a chance to survive by using the human medicine, but both his grandfather and father chose to face death in the end.
Xuan Ming has always believed that it was those mysterious beings who killed Grandpa Huang.
