EBE Chapter 225 [Fuyao 10]
Chapter 225 [Fuyao 10]
In Taiyuan Kingdom, the Imperial Censor Zhang Henian received news that the dome of the Imperial Scale Terrace had cracked. He hurried to the main hall to meet Xuanyuan Ren and said, "I beg Your Majesty to take care of your health and cheer up. If Kunjing loses his water control skills, I'm afraid that Kunjing City will be flooded."
Xuanyuan Ren dragged his sick body to his feet and shouted, "Retribution, it's all retribution."
The news from Kunjing reached Qi Zhen's ears, and Yun Hen persuaded him, "Foster father, let's go back to Beijing. Kunjing needs you to take charge of the situation."
But Qi Zhen was stubborn and wanted to wait for the news from the head of the Huansheng Palace, Feiyan, and said to Yunhen, "I have been lying dormant for so many years. What I want is not to support the Xuanyuan family to become king, but to lead the Taiyuan Kingdom myself. Now I just need an opportunity."
Now, even if he had to bury the entire Taiyuan with him, he would still wait for an opportunity. Changsun Wuji was just his spare chess piece. If he could successfully ascend the throne, then Changsun Wuji would be of no use.
Yun Hen didn’t quite understand Qi Zhen’s approach, but he also believed that his adoptive father must have his own reasons.
On the other hand, Zong Yue was very dissatisfied with what Changsun Wuji had done during this period and said, "Don't forget your mission. I hope you can keep in mind the task of quelling the unrest in Taiyuan and don't be misled by anyone." During this period, Changsun Wuji had been revolving around Fuyao.
Chang Sun Wuji said, "I know. I will not forget my mission. I know what I am doing."
When Zong Yue heard Changsun Wuji say this, he believed what he said.
Everyone knows that Zong Yue is a medical saint, but few people know that Zong Yue is also of Xuanyuan bloodline. Zong Yue has a deep blood feud and has been living in hiding.
Changsun Wuji was very clear about the current situation.
Qi Zhen was reluctant to take him back to Kunjing to succeed the throne, because he wanted to wait here for the Huansheng Palace of Palace Master Feiyan to appear, and then ask Palace Master Feiyan to teach him the art of controlling water.
If Qi Zhen obtained the art of controlling water, not to mention the throne, Qi Zhen would not let go of Changsun Wuji's life. Now they must not let Qi Zhen obtain the art of controlling water, otherwise their plans will be in vain. They must be very careful with every move they make next.
Zong Yue felt that with Qi Youyou's help, this matter might be more successful. Although he and Qi Youyou were not very familiar with each other, after their last meeting, he still trusted Youyou very much in his heart.
Zong Yue did not tell Changsun Wuji about his next plan. He secretly went to find Youyou and told her about his next plan. Youyou said she would help.
On the other side, Yun Hen found traces of the Huansheng Palace and told Qi Zhen. After Qi Zhen knew it, he was very happy.
Qi Zhen set up an incense table by the lake on time and asked the master of Feiyan Palace to appear in the holy temple.
After a while, the Hall of Illusionary Life appeared, and Qi Zhen requested, "I hope the Hall Master can grant me the art of controlling water."
Palace Master Feiyan said, "Everything you ask for must be paid in equal amounts."
Qi Zhen said, "Palace Master Feiyan wants nothing more than to live longer. I promise, I will trade with you."
Palace Master Feiyan smiled and said, "No, no, no, I don't need this now. If you can't think of anything to exchange with me, I'll leave."
Qi Zhen was in a very complicated mood. He didn't understand why Palace Master Feiyan had always liked this and suddenly changed his taste?
So Qi Zhen asked, "Then I wonder what Palace Master Feiyan wants to exchange for? I can give you anything as long as you give me the water control technique."
"If you are so insincere, you should leave." Palace Master Feiyan said, and then disappeared along with the Huansheng Palace.
Qi Zhen shouted, "Palace Master Feiyan, don't leave, don't leave."
But it was of no use, the person had disappeared without a trace.
Qi Zhen was very angry. He couldn't understand why Palace Master Feiyan's preferences had changed, causing him to miss a great opportunity. Now he didn't know how long he would have to wait for it to come again.
Yun Hen said, "Godfather, what should we do now?"
"Let's go back." Qi Zhen said.
At night, Jiang Feng, the hidden guard of Tianquan Kingdom, came to see Changsun Wuji and said, "Qi Zhen has met with the master of Feiyan Palace, but he did not get the water control technique."
Changsun Wuji was very curious and asked the questions in his mind, and Jiang Feng explained them to him one by one.
Changsun Wuji was even more puzzled. Palace Master Feiyan liked to stay young forever, so why did he suddenly change his personality?
Zong Yue felt that this matter must be related to Qi Youyou, and he became more and more curious about Youyou. What kind of magic power made Palace Master Feiyan agree to give up his beloved life?
Zong Yue laughed unconsciously.
Zhang Sun Wuji looked at Zong Yue with some surprise, so he asked, "Zong Yue, what's wrong with you?"
Zong Yue finally realized that he had actually laughed. It was unbelievable. He could only say, "It's okay, Your Highness. I just thought of something."
"Oh, that's good." Changsun Wuji said.
"However, Your Highness, Qi Zhen suffered a great loss this time. You must be careful. I think he must have a bigger conspiracy." Zong Yue said.
"Yes, Jiang Feng is doing everything according to plan." Changsun Wuji said.
"Yes, my lord." Jiang Feng said.
"Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Zong Yue said.
Changsun Wuji was a little surprised that Zong Yue had been acting abnormally recently, but he didn't take it seriously because Zong Yue was his friend for many years and he trusted him.
"If you have something to do, please leave first." Changsun Wuji said.
After Zong Yue left, he returned to his yard, sorted out the medicinal herbs he had collected previously, and classified the dried herbs one by one.
……
At Xuanyuan Mountain, Qi Zhen received a letter from his subordinates, saying that Xuanyuan Ren was dying. Qi Zhen knew that he had to return. Now there was no way to obtain the art of controlling water, so he could only support Changsun Wuji to ascend the throne.
Qi Zhen discussed with Yun Hen and decided that he would set off first, while Yun Hen would escort Changsun Wuji back to Kunjing.
Then, Qi Zhen started packing his luggage to return to Kunjing.
A few days before leaving, Qi Zhen went to see Youyou and happened to see Zong Yue in Youyou's yard.
Qi Zhen asked curiously, "Why is the Medical Saint here?"
Zong Yue explained, "I came here to deliver medicine to Miss Qi. Now that the medicine has been delivered, I will take my leave."
"Since the Doctor Saint is here, let's sit down together. I have something to ask you, and I hope the Doctor Saint can agree to it." Qi Zhen said.
"What's the matter?" Zong Yue asked.
"I would like to invite Doctor Zongsheng to come back to Kunjing with me and take charge of the Imperial Medical Bureau on my behalf." Qi Zhen said.
"Then what's in it for me?" Zong Yue said.
"You can use all the herbs in Taiyuan National Treasury. Take as much as you want." Qi Zhen said generously.
Zong Yue thought about it and thought this was an opportunity, so he said, "Of course, I can, but I have four conditions."
"Tell me about it." Qi Zhen did not agree directly.
"First, I won't accept those social engagements. Second, I have to select my personal attendant myself. Third, I won't be a hypocrite. No one can order me to do something I'm unwilling to do. Fourth, although my medical skills can heal people as well as kill people, I need a bodyguard." Zong Yue said.
"I can agree to these requests. As for the bodyguard, what do you think of Yun Hen beside me?" Qi Zhen said.
"I think Miss Qi is quite suitable." Zong Yue said, looking at Qi Youyou.
"Are you talking about the girl Youyou?" Qi Zhen asked.
"That's right. I wonder what Duke Qi thinks?" Zong Yue asked.
"It depends on whether she agrees or not. Youyou, what do you think?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Of course I can, but I don't know if the Medical Saint dares to believe me." Youyou said gritting her teeth.
"Of course I believe Miss Qi." Zong Yue said seriously, as if he didn't sense Youyou's resentment.
"Okay, in that case, Youyou, come back to Kunjing with us." Qi Zhen said.
"Yes, uncle." Youyou said reluctantly.
After Qi Zhen left, Youyou said sarcastically, "Is this how the Medical Saint of the Zong Dynasty would go after you've crossed the bridge? I just helped you, and now you're trying to drag me down with you. Is that how you treat your savior?"
"I'm afraid you have misunderstood me. I'm doing this so that you can help me more legitimately in the future. Besides, in Qi Zhen's eyes, you are his person, and you are by my side, which means that I am also Qi Zhen's person." Zong Yue said.
"Tell me, what benefits can I get?" Youyou asked.
"How about I give you three bottles of the Jade Face Cream I make every month?" Zong Yue said.
"I want six bottles." said Youyou.
"No, this material is very rare. I can only make ten bottles a month." Zong Yue felt a little painful.
"No, I remember my uncle didn't go far. If I don't go..."
Zong Yue quickly grabbed Youyou and said, "Little ancestor, six bottles is six bottles, isn't it enough for me to give it to you?"
"That's not bad." Youyou said with a smile.
"By the way, why do you need so much Jade Face Cream?" Zong Yue asked.
"Give two bottles to the little girl Pei Yuan, and two bottles to my cousin Qi Yun whom I haven't seen for many years, and I will keep the remaining two bottles for myself." Youyou said.
"It seems like you are using my things to please others." Zong Yue felt helpless.
"What do you mean by your things? Once you give them to me, they become mine." Youyou said.
"Okay, okay, okay, it's yours." Zong Yue said.
"It originally belonged to me." said Youyou.
