Chapter 223: Threats
"Sure enough, it is the insect control technique of the Central Plains." Ming Xi tapped the table with his fingers, and felt a sudden enlightenment. It also brought Yun Qiushui's thoughts back to the present, and smiled, "No wonder I invited four people before.
People from Da Jing who are good at controlling insects came to check on my eldest aunt. They all said that this method was unheard of, and the serious consequences of backlash on oneself were not common. It turned out that she had really been to the Central Plains, so this method of controlling insects must be the same as that of Miao.
It was taught by others, right?"
Yun Qiushui pondered for a moment and explained: "The terrain in southern Xinjiang is complex, so there are many sects, but most of them are not related to the martial arts in the Central Plains. If Her Royal Highness the Princess returned from Kunlun and took a detour to Miao Xinjiang, it might be possible.
."
Mingxi just answered the words lightly and said nonchalantly: "Then there's nothing I can do. I can't help her with her appearance. Right now, I have more important things to deal with, and I can't spare the time to hire someone to go to the Central Plains to find someone capable."
Save her."
Yun Qiushui knew that these were just his polite words. Then, Mingxi pointed to the jade-faced mirror and ancient jade on the table, and finally raised the topic: "To be honest, Shen Yue treats me, the royal family, and even Fei Yuan.
It is no longer important. The main purpose of inviting Mrs. Yun to talk this time is for this mirror. My mother is still living in pain in this mirror. I can neither save her nor give her relief.
."
"Alive in the mirror?" Yun Qiushui was startled, and her eyes were attracted by the exquisite and small jade-faced mirror in his palm. Mingxi handed it over carefully, and found that his arms were so tense that they lost strength, so he raised another one.
They raised their hands together and said, "This thing is called the Mirror of the Moon. It is a magic technique in the heaven that freezes time and space. After my mother committed suicide in front of me, she was sent into it by my father when she was about to die.
, eighteen years have passed since then."
"There was a fatal wound in her heart. She was bleeding continuously, and then the blood flowed back to her heart. She survived because of the magical power of the Mirror of the Moon. Now the queen mother... can't live but cannot die."
Yun Qiushui's heart suddenly froze. She looked closely at the jade-faced mirror. Although she was surging with unspeakable divine power, the mirror was covered with tiny cracks. Mingxi glanced at her quickly and tried to regulate his breathing.
, he slowly stood up and said softly: "Feng Jiuqing came here once to help my father repair the cracks on the mirror. I hope Mrs. Yun can help me find him. Even if I can't rescue my mother, I still hope
Give her a decent way to leave."
"Feng Jiuqing..." Yun Qiushui murmured this familiar name with a wry smile on her lips. For so many years, Feng Jiuqing seemed to have disappeared from the world to her. He might not even know that his daughter Yun Xiao was born.
Thinking of these past events, Yun Qiushui sighed and shook his head, "I have no news about him. We have never seen him again since he returned to Kunlun in anger that year."
Ming Xi was not surprised, and a smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth: "I know that I have investigated Mrs. Yun's affairs to some extent, but I believe that with you here, he is willing to come back to see you."
Yun Qiushui stared at Mingxi with a complicated expression, wondering what the new emperor was thinking. Mingxi took back the jade-faced mirror from her hand, opened the window on the roof of the Star-Zhaing Building, and stretched out his hand to the east.
, pointing to each other from a distance: "Last night, the Saint of the Moon received an urgent report from Dongming Wanyou City. Xiao Qianye and Yun Xiao had returned to Feiyuan and appeared in the city. However, an accident occurred in the city's planetarium, causing the two to be injured.
The person escaped again and his current whereabouts are unknown."
Yun Qiushui didn't dare to answer, her heart was beating violently, but Ming Xi still said calmly: "I know their purpose. It is the seal in Dongming. Once it is destroyed, I also know the consequences..."
Yun Qiushui blurted out in surprise and said uneasily: "Now that you know it, why have you been so indifferent so far and just asked the whole country to guard against his whereabouts? Why not evacuate the nearby people in advance to avoid involving innocent people?"
"Evacuate?" Ming Xi smiled, but his eyes remained cold, and he said coldly, "Didn't Mrs. Yun hear the word 'broken' from Feng Jiuqing? Once the land begins to break
There is no way to escape, where do you want me to evacuate?"
When Yun Qiushui heard this, her face turned pale. It was not that Feng Jiuqing had not told her some legends about this isolated island, but those things came from his mouth in an understatement, and she could not empathize and understand what it was like.
It was not until she returned to Feiyuan this time, and everyone mentioned the word "shattered" as if they were facing a powerful enemy, that she really felt the tension deeply.
But... Yun Qiushui looked at the emperor in front of him, still puzzled. His eyes were like the morning sun, obviously extremely dazzling, but also bottomless.
Mingxi continued to speak calmly and made his own guess: "I think this is Xiao Qianye's first attempt to agree to assist the Night King. He will probably not show up by himself, but will let Feng Jiuqing keep an eye on him in person.
Bar."
Yun Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. Mingxi suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled thoughtfully, his eyes gradually turned stern, and his tone gradually lowered: "If you stay in Tianyu City, Feng Jiu
Will you please take a detour and take a look?"
Yun Qiushui looked at him expressionlessly, already vaguely aware that Mrs. Ming Qi's worries were not completely unfounded.
"If Mrs. Yun doesn't mind, you can stay in the Imperial City for the time being. You can also live with my seventh aunt." Although Mingxi still said a polite invitation, Yun Qiushui knew very well that it was an invisible invitation.
The threat did not allow her to resist at all. Before she could think of how to reply, Mingxi had already continued talking to himself, "But I can allow Tian Che to leave the imperial capital. If Madam is worried about Yun Xiao's safety, I can also
Provide some clues and let them meet."
"What on earth do you mean..." Yun Qiushui was puzzled. She felt that this person's words did not match her words, and were full of strange contradictions. He wanted to restrict her freedom, but also unexpectedly let Tian Che go, but clearly
Xi didn't seem to want to explain at all, and didn't give her any chance to question. He whispered directly to the door: "Zhu Yan, you all can come in together."
The door was gently pushed open. This time Zhu Yan walked in front, followed closely by the man who was standing on the left before. Ming Xi pointed at the man behind and said: "Mrs. Yun should have noticed his sight and hearing.
It's been sealed by Feng Shi Sword Technique, I wonder if you have a way to unlock it?"
Yun Qiushui frowned. The man looked very young. He was wearing the silver-black uniform of the military pavilion. Even if he kept his eyes closed tightly, he could still see the vigilance and preparedness on his face. She pointed and asked
: "What happened to him?"
"He originally had a poison planted by Gao Chengchuan, the governor of the Forbidden Army, which could gradually erode his consciousness. Instead, in order to slow down the progression of the poison, Xiao Qianye was not allowed to use the Feng Shi Sword Technique to seal it."
Yun Qiushui was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Qianye has never learned the solution to Feng Shi's sword technique. He shouldn't use this kind of sword technique against people..."
"It's because he doesn't know how to do it, so he has to trouble Madam." Ming Xi also smiled helplessly, and even kindly reminded, "Your disciple Cen Ge is still trapped by Feng Shi Sword Technique and cannot escape."
Yun Qiushui looked at him awkwardly, but when she remembered that the person who did it was Xiao Qianye, she felt that it was reasonable.
Ming Xi's eyes slowly condensed, and she sat back by the window again. She looked a little uneasy, and casually ordered: "That's all I have to say. I hope Mrs. Yun will think about it carefully. Zhu Yan, please send Mrs. back home."
."
"Yes." Zhu Yan lowered his head to accept the order, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation. Yun Qiushui paused, looked at Princess Mingyu who was trapped by the space technique, and asked worriedly, "
How does Your Majesty plan to arrange the eldest princess?"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Ming Xi slowly clenched and then loosened his hands, took a light breath, and replied in a low voice, "For now... let's stay in Zhaixinglou."
Yun Qiushui raised her eyebrows slightly, knowing that this was the emperor's biggest concession.
After leaving the rooftop of the Star Reaching Building, Mu Xizhao still stood by the door without saying a word. Only Zhu Yan smiled and led her up the mechanical ladder, and the two of them returned to the ground in silence.
Yun Qiushui inhaled hard to clear up her chaotic brain. Zhu Yan looked at her tenderly and asked, "Madam, do you still want to continue walking around the inner city? I can show you the way."
"Although the imperial city is magnificent, there is no freedom. Where there is no freedom, nothing will get better." Yun Qiushui waved her hand and refused, minding her own business and walking back. At this time, the sky was bright in the imperial capital, and she silently glanced at all kinds of people around her.
, each of them has a tired face, as if they are facing a formidable enemy, but the crowds passing by are still as if there is an invisible veil between them, and they are indifferent to the two people who come down from the Star Reaching Tower.
Zhu Yan politely kept a distance of about three steps. Yun Qiushui didn't speak, so he followed her in silence. Not only was there no embarrassment, but it actually made her feel surprisingly comfortable.
"You really understand people's hearts." After a while, Yun Qiushui couldn't help but turned around and muttered. Zhu Yan smiled calmly after hearing the sound. He raised his head inexplicably in the fine snow, with a far-reaching gaze.
He looked into the distance and was silent for a long time, "In a place like the Imperial Capital, if you don't understand people's hearts, you will die."
Yun Qiushui looked at him steadily, and for a moment she felt that this notorious male favorite was not so repulsive after all.
The two of them continued to walk forward. After leaving the inner city, Zhu Yan stopped, leaned over and said softly: "I will send you here. This place is not far from the Ye family. Please go back by yourself, Madam."
"Okay." Yun Qiushui nodded. After he turned and left, the strange spells around him disappeared instantly.
Yun Qiushui continued walking towards Ye's house alone, not noticing that Zhu Yan stopped soon. He tightened his fingertips slightly and looked over with sharp eyes.
The next moment, a staggering figure stumbled out of the alleyway at the other end. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were disheveled. She rushed straight towards Yun Qiushui, grabbed her arms with all her strength, and wailed heartbreakingly: "
Save me! Help me!”
Yun Qiushui was shocked and overwhelmed by the sudden call for help, and the woman's sharp roar also attracted the servants who had been chasing behind her. Although those servants were servants, they were dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes. It was not easy to catch them, but they were too late to breathe.
After taking a breath, he hurriedly held down the crazy woman. One person took out a rope from his arms, and the two worked together to tie her hands and feet. The four of them shouted at the same time and lifted the woman up.
"Save me! Save me!" The woman was still kicking and kicking crazily. The servant nodded and bowed to Yun Qiushui to apologize. He wiped the sweat from running out in the ice and snow, and quickly said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm so shocked.
You’re welcome, we’ll take the princess back right now…”
"Princess?" Yun Qiu Shui was startled. Before she could stop her, Mrs. Ming Qi's anxious voice came from behind her, "Qiu Shui is back, come in quickly and don't worry about those things."
Mrs. Ming Qi rushed out and pulled her away quickly. She whispered: "That is the fifth princess Ming Shu. She suddenly went crazy a month ago. Stop meddling in other people's affairs and go back with me first."
Yun Qiushui was dragged by her and couldn't move, and wanted to take another look. At this time, another group of people rushed over with a sedan, stuffed the fifth princess in with all their hands, and then ran away as fast as running away.
