Rebirth of Peach Blossom

Xuanyuan Shenyue didn't mention the matter of leaving Xudu again, as if she had forgotten about it, but she had a lot more demands on Xuanyuan Linghe on weekdays.The things that Xuanyuan Shenyue taught her were complicated and messy at first glance, but when summarized in detail, they were all useful.

Divination of destiny is something that a saint must know. Xuanyuan Shenyue showed her all the books in the house, and took her to watch the sky every night, explaining the meaning.Xuanyuan Linghe was a little disdainful about this aspect, she always thought that her life was in her own hands, why believe in heaven, but she also took it seriously, after all, she bears the title of saint.

There is also the art of war. What surprised Xuanyuan Shenyue to Xuanyuan Linghe was that many of his insights were unheard of. Since ancient times, the handover of two soldiers is inevitable, but there are many red tapes and many unwritten According to the regulations, not beheading envoys, courtesy first and soldiers later, general demeanor, etc. are all restraints to some extent.But the strategy Xuanyuan Shenyue taught her was shameless and ruthless enough, but it had the greatest chance of winning.Xuanyuan Shenyue has many shocking statements, and he has had a great impact on Xuanyuan Linghe's thoughts. Those schemes may be despicable in the eyes of most generals, but they are very in line with Xuanyuan Linghe's temperament. In terms of soldier layout, Xuanyuan Ling and listened very carefully, and they all learned from the bottom of their hearts.

In the end, it is trickery. In fact, it all depends on the individual to judge the current situation and make corresponding reactions. Xuanyuan Shenyue can't teach her much in this regard. In terms of scheming, Xuanyuan Linghe has never lost to anyone. .Even in his previous life, if he hadn't lost his mind because of his obsession with Cheng Wanning, Feng Yehan would never have had the chance to enter the palace.

When talking about the art of scheming, Xuanyuan Shenyue once asked several princes in her palace which one would gain power in the future. Although Xiao Zimiao answered Xuanyuan Linghe, he still gave the reason decently, but in his heart But he understands that it is not any prince who will gain power in the future, even if he gains power, it will be a flash in the pan.But the person who really made her stumble was a princess.

Xiao Ziyan, who was named Princess Lingzheng in the future.

Xiao Ziyan is the same age as her, and has a twin sister named Xiao Zinian, but these two people are not in the royal family now, just because their mothers are from the Jianghu, and this heroine from the Jianghu has not yet entered the palace at this time , the world does not know the existence of these two princesses.

This woman from the rivers and lakes seems to be the so-called true love of her father...

Although Xuanyuan Shenyue had a lot of demands on her, it didn't take up most of her time. What really made Xuanyuan Linghe feel tired was her master, who seemed not difficult to talk to.

Ye Feixiu is usually a child with an average temperament, but he is very strict in teaching people to practice martial arts. Ye Feixiu attaches great importance to the foundation, so Xuanyuanling and Xiaoshen are sore every day due to excessive martial arts practice. Such boring and busy days made her numb day by day, and only in the middle of each month would she be a little happier, because on that day, Wanning would follow her mother to be a guest at Concubine Yun's palace, and Cheng Wanning would sneak over to see her on that day .

This time is no exception.

Cheng Wanning happily ate the pastries, and sat on the swing that Xuanyuan Linghe had specially prepared for her, talking to Xuanyuan Linghe about her daily life.

Seemingly remembering something suddenly, Cheng Wanning frowned and lowered her voice, "Xiaoyu, when I came here, I passed by the Xiaoxiang Palace of your mother and concubine. There were crying sounds inside. It seemed that some palace servants were beaten and scolded. Quite big..."

The hand holding the pastry paused, Xuanyuan Linghe smiled, "Really?" But he was not surprised at all, once a person like Concubine Xiang turned over, the palace servants who treated her harshly in the cold palace back then would definitely She found an excuse to embarrass her, but she didn't expect the embarrassment to be so open and undisguised, what a fool.

"Fortunately, Xiaoyu is no longer an imperial concubine, otherwise one day she will be implicated by such a mother and concubine."

Xuanyuan Linghe nodded with half-closed eyes, wondering if there would be Concubine Xiang in the world when she came back to Xudu.

"Xiaoyu, my aunt said that next month will be the celebration of the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the country. The royal family and courtiers will go to Longpan Mountain to worship the heavens. As a saint, do you want to go too?"

Worshiping the sky... Xuanyuanling and Wen Yan first thought of the big assassination in the previous life, which seemed to be what happened during the offering to the sky this year.Linghe was still young when the assassination happened, and he stayed in the cold palace all year round, so he didn't know the details of the incident, but the incident was very disturbing. Although the father was fine, the second prince and a beloved However, the princess was kidnapped by the hostage when the assassin retreated. The prince who was only five or six years old never came back, and the second prince was already weak. Although he was rescued at the last moment, he accidentally injured his leg. After being frightened, his father lost his temper a lot at that time, but in the end when the investigation was carried out, there was a lot of thunder and little rain, and nothing happened, which was very strange.

As for the second prince, the root of the disease has also fallen since then, he cannot stand for a long time, his health is even worse, and he cannot afford to lie down for a long time.The queen only had two sons, and after the second prince's accident, she became more interested in the eldest prince, and even the fate of the Zhang family was tied to the elder prince.

When she came back to her senses, she looked at Cheng Wanning who was shaking her arm, and then remembered Cheng Wanning's previous question, and answered seriously, "Yes."

Cheng Wanning pouted, sighed reluctantly, and complained like a little adult, "I really want to go, but my father won't let me go, he said that offering sacrifices to heaven is a big deal, and a child like me Don't mess around." Linghe was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort him, so he kept passing the pastries into Cheng Wanning's mouth, his eyes focused and full of tenderness.

There were footsteps not far away, and the voice followed with a hearty smile, "Except for the royal family, not only children are not allowed to go to Jitian, but all female relatives are also not allowed to go..."

Xuanyuan Shenyue was wrapped in a loose white robe, her hair was loosely scattered behind her back, her whole body was as elegant as a fairy, the white cloth covered her eyes, but it did not hinder his movement, and she stood accurately in front of Cheng Wanning , patted Cheng Wanning's head, and continued, "But it's uncertain in the future."

Cheng Wanning's eyes were like crescent moons, and she greeted crisply, "Master of the National Teacher~" but she didn't take the words of this national teacher at ease, and she couldn't go to Longpan Mountain. Just a kid.

But Linghe stared at Xuanyuan Shenyue for a long time, turned his eyes away, and understood the deep meaning of Xuanyuan Shenyue's words. She had always had no respect for gods and Buddhas, and she didn't believe in destiny. Now, Xuanyuan Shenyue is not just a vain name, but is really a fairy who seems to know everything.

******

Longpan Mountain is to the north of Lingdu, and the mountain range is very majestic. The entire Longpan Mountain Range is drawn on the map just like Wolong. The position circled by the dragon's tail is Lingdu. It may be that there is Longpan Mountain Range here for the sake.As far as the mountain range is concerned, the only mountain called Longpan Mountain is Longshou Mountain, which is about five or six days away from Lingdu.

Before setting off to sacrifice to heaven, not only Xuanyuan Shenyue, but also Ye Feixiu was very gentle towards Xuanyuan Linghe. Ye Feixiu rarely gave Xuanyuan Linghe any training, and even looked at her with loving eyes , leaving a lot of time for her to stay with Cheng Wanning who lived in the palace... This abnormal behavior once made Xuanyuanling and Sleeping sleep uneasy, guessing something vaguely in his heart, he seized the time to be with Cheng Wanning even more.

It wasn't until half of the way to sacrifice to heaven that Xuanyuan Shenyue patted her on the head and said, "I'm leaving this time, and I won't be coming back for a long time."

Xuanyuan Linghe nodded calmly. Sure enough, when he said he was going to leave Xudu, there was no movement. It turned out that he was waiting for this opportunity. There must be some arrangements for the next one. The dust in my heart is empty.

The scale of offering sacrifices to heaven is very large, and there are nearly a thousand people including the guards. The Xiao family's imperial power of more than 400 years seems to be still very prosperous today.After arriving at the foot of the mountain, under the leadership of the emperor, they dismounted one after another and headed towards the top of Longpan Mountain step by step. This move was to show their sincerity to the gods, and it was a regulation that had been written into the etiquette system.

Linghe was no exception. She followed the emperor on the left side, taking small steps, and after walking for a while, she was hugged by a guard disguised by Ye Feixiu. Linghe was not happy at all, but thought of a child following the breathless When I reached the top of the mountain, it was really unbelievable, so I just sat on Ye Feixiu's arms stiffly.

When we reached the top of the mountain, it was Shen time, the sky was dark, and there was nothing to see, but there was a palace on the top of the mountain, which was older than the Xiao Dynasty, but it was still solemn and solemn.That night, the group stopped to rest in the palace, and the staff of the Ministry of Rites had already started preparing for tomorrow's sacrifice to heaven.

At this time, Linghe had also packed his mind, and asked Xuanyuan Shenyue what opportunity he had to leave, but Xuanyuan Shenyue smiled and said nothing, and after a while, the emperor's personal guards came to pass the word, saying that a banquet was prepared in the main hall, please The Master and the Holy Maiden went to the feast.

Thinking of the assassin, although I don't know the exact time, but my heart is raised. After walking down the mountain road for a day, even the soldiers will be exhausted. It is the time when everyone is most slack. If there is an assassination, this is the best time. .

When Linghe arrived in the hall, the emperor had already arrived. After saluting, Linghe and the national teacher sat down on the left and the right respectively. It was inconvenient for Ye Feixiu to show up on such occasions, and he probably hid in the dark.

Since there were no women accompanying the royal family, there was no singing and dancing to accompany the banquet. The most loud voices were the congratulations from the ministers and the princes and daughters showing their talent in poetry. , The world is peaceful.

While drinking, suddenly the candlesticks in the palace fell to the ground in a blink of an eye, and puddles of water-like liquid on the ground burned instantly when they encountered an open flame, and spread along the fire of the liquid. Tongues of fire surrounded the hall.Many unsuspecting guards were ignited by the fire and fell to the ground screaming.

All of a sudden, the ministers were in a mess, rushing out one after another, the young princes and princesses were crying especially loudly, the scene was chaotic, but the first minister who ran out rolled away with a screaming head After returning to the main hall, the next few ministers were chopped back into the hall with a knife. Looking over, at some time, the guards at the gate of the hall had already been lying on the ground, and a group of men in black came towards the hall with scimitars!
