Chapter 502 The Mystery of Blood Lotus
Wanyan Juemo's expression was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became condensed, "Did you see anyone when you came?"
"No, eldest princess."
Wanyan Juemo lowered her eyes lightly and curled her fingertips slightly, "Let's go." After that, a maid came to help her get into the carriage.
Compared with the embarrassing urging of the past few days, the carriage at this moment is obviously too luxurious and luxurious, and it is surrounded by layers of officers and soldiers guarding it.
"Damn! You are a bunch of losers. After so many people left, only three of them came back! You brought more than five times as many people as she did! She escaped all of them, you say! You still have What’s the value of following me?” A man was wearing a golden robe and silk shoes, his head was tortoiseshell, and the night pearl on his hairpin was flickering. His face was very gloomy, and his expression was so gloomy that it could drip water. .
The three people kneeling below lowered their heads at the moment, not daring to say a word. They did not expect that the woman was really so difficult to die. They were sure of winning, but they didn't know how the third child could not even defeat a seriously injured person. , really weird!
"Prince, something has happened. There is a man in white robe beside the eldest princess to help her. Now we are..." The eldest brother thought of Zihan's face, and his face became a little gloomy. It was most likely that man who caused the trouble! Otherwise, how could a person with such serious injuries be able to defeat the prosperous Lao San!
"Hmph! Excuse! Why didn't I hear that the eldest princess came back with someone? She was brought back alone by General Chang Sheng. Now the palace doctor is treating her injury. I heard it is very serious, but still It’s so disgusting that he didn’t die!” The prince became furious when he thought of this. He held the teacup in his hand and threw it at several people. The teacup shattered with a "crack" sound, and all the crumbs and tea splashed on the heads of several people. They did not dare to say a word and knelt down silently. Bearing the prince's anger where he was.
The prince and the eldest princess were born from the same father. The prince's biological mother was the queen, and he was one year older than the eldest princess. Therefore, he was named the prince when he was born, and he lived in wealth and prosperity since he was a child. Wealth seems to be destined, but his enemy is the eldest princess Wanyan Juemo, who is one year younger than him!
Wanyan Juemo's biological mother was just an ordinary noble concubine. The concubine died of a serious illness in her early years. Wanyan Juemo's status at that time was very low, but little did she know that she was talented and intelligent. She attracted the attention of her father, so much so that she was very optimistic about her. She often praised Wanyan Juemo in front of him for how good and powerful she was, which made him, a grown man, lose his face every time!
As time went by, she began to hate Wanyan Juemo and opposed her everywhere. As a woman, she could not compete with him for the throne. However, in recent years, her father had been putting the military power in her hands, and now she had control. Eighty percent of Linyue Kingdom's military strength, and the remaining 20% are the imperial guards, which means that she alone controls all the military forces outside.
And after he ascends the throne in the future, who knows whether this woman will return the military power to him. If not, then this person will be his big enemy!
He had reminded his father more than once, but his father seemed not to have heard and still allowed her to take charge of the military, and he also revealed it in his words
He remembered quite clearly that during a celebration banquet, his father was drunk and actually said to him, "If you don't work hard, Linyue Kingdom will have a queen." This sentence completely stimulated his heart. Angry and jealous, how could she, a woman, be in charge of the country? The country belongs to him!
Since that day, he sent countless dead soldiers and killers to take her life, but unfortunately, they all failed without exception.
This time she finally got an opportunity. She went to the neighboring country Linri to negotiate. She couldn't bring too many guards with her, so she only brought a small group of forty guards, but she didn't expect that this perfect opportunity would be taken away. These people are missing out!
The prince was angry for a long time, and finally managed to control his emotions. He stared at a few people with gloomy eyes and said coldly: "Get out! Don't let Wanyan Juemo's people find you!"
After that, he waved his sleeves and ignored the people.
After this failure, I don’t know how long we have to wait for another chance.
On the other side, Wanyan Juemo was leaning on the bed, staring at the edge of the bed expressionlessly.
"Princess, you must have a good rest these days and never let the wound open again. I will change the dressing for you every night. You must also drink the medicine on the table regularly to help with the bruises in your body. Spread the blood." The female doctor standing beside her lowered her head and said slowly.
"Yes." Wanyan Juemo did not raise her eyes, her expression was somewhat silent.
Seeing this, the female imperial doctor didn't say anything, she just retreated voluntarily. The eldest princess has always been taciturn and has a very cold temperament. Even if she talks to people on weekdays, they must stay three meters away from her and never let anyone touch her. She, this is the reason why I have been by her side for so many years.
She is the royal physician to the eldest princess.
No matter how injured she is, the eldest princess will come back to heal herself. But this time when she came back, the wound had been bandaged, and based on the location of the wound, it was impossible for her to bandage it herself. Therefore, the female imperial doctor looked very surprised when she saw the eldest princess for the first time, but as a A minister is most taboo about talking too much, so she didn't ask.
After seeing the person leaving, Wanyan Juemo rolled his eyes, reached out and took out a note from under the pillow, frowned slightly, and opened the note.
"Goodbye. I don't want one hundred thousand taels. I'll take your eight thousand taels. Goodbye." The words were very brief, without even leaving a name, and the handwriting looked a bit hasty.
After Wanyan Juemo read it, a chill flashed through his eyes. He crumpled the note into a ball with his palm, threw it aside and ignored it.
——
On Zihan's side, after seeing a trauma doctor seriously, she checked into the inn. After a few days of recovery from her injury, she went to Lin's house to investigate
After a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, not to mention several broken ribs, Zihan rested in the inn for a week before coming out. As soon as he came out, he went to sit in a teahouse with a storyteller, and sat there for a whole day.
Until the teahouse was about to close and the storyteller was about to leave, Zi Han blocked the old man's way, stuffed a piece of silver into his arms, and asked lightly: "I want to ask you something."
The old storyteller saw the silver in his hand and smiled, "Sir, may I ask?"
"Lin family, what happened?" Zi Han asked with slightly narrowed eyes, curiosity shining in his eyes.
After hearing this, the old man glanced at Zi Han suspiciously, with a strange expression, and said with a slight smile: "Young Master is not from Linyue City, right?"
"Well, I'm from out of town."
"Haha, that makes sense. The affairs of the Lin Mansion have been widely spread in Linyue City for a long time. There are almost no people who don't know about it. Even the children will usually talk about it." The old storyteller said. Stroking his beard with one hand and looking at it with a smile Xiang Zihan paused and continued: "This matter started three years ago. One day when the maid of the Lin Mansion was walking around the lotus pond, she found a bright red lotus growing on the lotus pond. Legend has it that the lotus was as red as It was like blood, which really shocked the maid. He hurriedly ran to tell the master of the Lin Mansion, who was the Prime Minister Lin Jiang. When Lin Jiang saw that it was really true, he ordered that the news should not be spread outside. He also sent someone to pick the blood lotus, but he did not expect this. Half a month after the incident, the pond grew again A new blood lotus has a brighter color and is so red that it looks like it drips with blood. This makes everyone in the Lin Mansion panic. Rumors spread that the Lin Mansion is haunted and there is a blood-red vengeful female ghost entrenched in the lotus pond of the Lin Mansion. in."
This story is quite legendary. Zi Han was interested and raised his eyebrows, "Then what happened next?"
"There is no airtight wall in the world. It doesn't matter once or twice. The problem is that the blood lotus will grow out every ten days and a half. In order to refute the rumors, the Lin Mansion will send people to remove the blood lotus whenever it grows. Removed and cremated. This matter slowly spread, and now the Lin Mansion no longer covers it up. After all, there is no need to hide something that everyone knows. Now we have sent people to find capable people who can solve the mystery of the lotus pond. Even the goddesses and magicians have been invited, but they can't find them. The reason." What the storyteller said was very real, as if he was personally there, lifelike.
Zi Han's eyes lit up as he listened. It really seemed like it was caused by ghosts and gods. However, if ghosts and gods were in the mortal world, those ghosts would not exist, because the remaining souls after death belong to the spirit body. , and spirit bodies are no longer mortals. Their souls will be automatically isolated by the barrier here in the mortal world, and then go to the world of cultivation.
In the world of cultivation, those souls cannot withstand such strong spiritual energy, and they dissipate quickly. Only those ghosts in the mortal world with extremely strong willpower can survive in the world of cultivation, and some of them become ghosts. However, these Ghosts are the lowest level. They do not remember anything in their lives and float in space. They are extremely afraid of sunlight and only dare to come out at night. Therefore, the strength of general ghosts is very low. Of course, there are also Exceptions.
Therefore, the mystery of the Blood Lotus in the Lin Mansion cannot be caused by ghosts, it can only be man-made.
But now she can't figure out why someone would dye the lotus red. What's the point of doing so?
As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, he stared at Zi Han with a playful expression and asked with a smile: "What unique insights does the young master have on this matter?"
"Me?" Zi Han smiled and shook his head, "There are too many things in the world that cannot be explained. The ghosts and gods you mentioned are also possible."
