The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

Qing Dao immediately trembled in fear and quickly kneeled on the ground. "This servant will not disappoint Master again."

"That's good. As for the Seventh Prince's wife, you should investigate his thoroughly. If she really is involved with the crown prince, then report it to me. "

"Yes." He didn't even dare to take a deep breath, and obediently withdrew from the old temple.

Within Yue Lao's shrine, only the man who looked extremely similar to Feng Qingsheng remained. His gaze landed on the statue of Yue Lao in front of him. His phoenix eyes were filled with violence as he ruthlessly broke the handle of the lantern in his hand.

On the other side.

After Mu Ru Yue and the others descended from the mountain, they got on the carriage. They headed towards the city.

Uncle Zhang still felt guilty about being caught. Even when he got on the carriage, he kept apologizing.

"Esteemed wangfei, please punish this old servant, otherwise, this old servant …" It's really hard to get over it. " Uncle Zhang pleaded as he held onto Mu Ru Yue's sleeve.

Mu Ru Yue felt a headache coming on.

She had seen all sorts of people before, but rarely had she ever taken the initiative to ask for punishment, or even to be so serious. In addition … Uncle Zhang hadn't done anything wrong, and if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have been caught.

Moreover, Uncle Zhang hadn't brought her up for so long. If she hadn't come on her own accord, she wouldn't even know how to obtain the map. On this point, she should be thanking him even more.

Yet, such a person with contributions wanted to punish him?

Mu Ru Yue was troubled.

Seeing her grandfather in such a state, a wave of grief and indignation rose up in Ling Xi's heart. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, this matter is Grandfather's and my fault. Princess, please punish us both. If you don't punish us, I'm afraid that your grandfather won't be able to rest at ease. "

"Ling Xi, you …" Murong Yue already had a headache, but now that she saw that Ling Xi had also come, she felt even more helpless. However, when she saw Ling Xi's pleading gaze, she could only say, "Forget it, since you insist on receiving punishment, then I'll punish you to finish constructing my shop within a month from today."

"How can this be considered a punishment?" Uncle Zhang was getting a bit anxious.

"My shop has been hired by the Divine Artisan Sect. If you can get rid of that Young Master Qingzhu from the Divine Artisan Sect, then you will be able to repay the debt of gratitude." Mu Ru Yue said helplessly.

"Thank you, wangfei." Ling Xi hurriedly agreed, afraid that her grandfather would not agree again.

Seeing that Ling Xi had agreed, Uncle Zhang could only sigh and admit this point.

On the side, when Chen Qing saw these few people, he couldn't help but feel a little envious of Mu Rong Yue. Although this person was willful, and would even disregard the consequences when doing things, for some unknown reason, there would always be people willing to help her.

Even his subordinates were so obedient.

This kind of sincerity was the most difficult to come by. People couldn't help but admire her.

However, it was just envy.

After the carriage entered the Imperial City, Mu Ru Yue escorted Ling Xi and Uncle Zhang to the vicinity of the southern region of the city. After that, she headed for the Wang Residence.

After getting off the carriage, Ling Xi supported Uncle Zhang. Along the way, Uncle Zhang's expression was not very good, to the point that he didn't say a word. After returning to his own courtyard, Ling Xi hurriedly treated Uncle Zhang's wounds.

Seeing her own granddaughter, Uncle Zhang could not help but sigh, "Ling Xi, do you know … What did you do wrong? "

"My mistake was that I shouldn't ask for my Royal Consort's help. I should comply with grandfather's request and let you live and die by yourself, leaving your life crippled. Just because of this matter, my Royal Concubine will be even more concerned with me, and perhaps even … in the future, on our side. " Ling Xi lowered her head and spoke with a somewhat hoarse voice.

Old Uncle Zhang did not expect that Ling Xi's reply would be so straightforward. However, it was precisely because of this that caused people to become even angrier. "Since you know all about it, why did you go against the rules?

You bringing Princess Hua-Yang along would be the complete destruction of my previous plan. Are you worthy of your ancestors? "

"If I really use my grandfather's life in exchange for my own future, then I would be letting down my own ancestors." Ling Xi gritted her teeth.

"Bastard!" Have you forgotten who you are? " Old Uncle Zhang glared furiously at Ling Xi. Ling Xi pursed her lips and did not say anything. She only looked at her grandfather as tears dripped from her eyes.

Although Uncle Zhang was strict with Ling Xi, when he saw his granddaughter acting in such a manner, he still tenderly said, "Ling Xi, you really shouldn't have done this."

"How long will Grandfather have to live in the shadow of the kingdom's officials? Since I was young, my grandfather has taught me that what I carry on my back is a country that should not have passed away. My people, my blood.

However, Grandfather has been at the Moon Empire for a thousand years, everything that happened in the previous dynasty has long been for naught. The opportunity from before had long since disappeared. You know best, don't you? Why... Not willing to abandon those?

In my eyes, those things are far less important than you, Grandfather. " Ling Xi's voice was slightly choked with emotions. Hearing this, Uncle Zhang fell silent. His expression was extremely complicated.

He had never dreamed that such words would actually come from his own granddaughter.

"Ling Xi, there are some things that cannot be abandoned." Uncle Zhang said helplessly.

"However, that is not my way of thinking. If I am to take my grandfather's life for those things that are simply impossible to accomplish, I would be inferior to even animals." [How can I bear such a burden? I'm not even fit to be a person anymore.

If grandfather is truly worried about me, he'll live well. Princess Hua-Yang is not a humble person. If we really have a request from her, she will agree to a harmless matter. Why do you have to do this? "

Ling Xi's question left Uncle Zhang speechless.

He only looked at his granddaughter for a long while before sighing, "Little girl Ling Xi, you've grown up. Grandfather is thinking too much. "

"It's Grandpa that couldn't let go of those past." Ling Xi cried as she spoke.

Uncle Zhang lowered his head and did not explain. Looking at his granddaughter, his heart was filled with complicated feelings. If he could, he would like to forget about that too, but if he forgot about that. Then, what did they insist on?

Some things cannot be forgotten.

Because once they forgot, they... He lost all hope of living.

However, even if he said these words to Ling Xi, she wouldn't care. In her eyes, the previous dynasty was no longer important.

"Speaking of which … Grandfather, when I went to the wangfei palace, I was stopped by the steward of the house. He said that there was someone like me who poisoned the prince. " Wiping her tears, Ling Xi suddenly recalled her own matters and spoke to Uncle Zhang.

The teacup in Uncle Zhang's hand snapped on the ground with a "pa da" sound.

His expression was unsightly as he looked at Ling Xi. He opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.

"Grandfather?" Ling Xi waved her hand: "Grandfather, you tell me … Is that elder sister? " Ling Xi continued.

"She's still alive?" Uncle Zhang's voice was hoarse, seemingly filled with fear.

Ling Xi nodded her head, "From what they said, they should be alive. Grandfather, if it really is her, are we going to go and reclaim her? We are still relatives after all. "

"No way!" Uncle Zhang shouted. He looked solemnly at Ling Xi, grabbing Ling Xi's shoulder as the meager flesh on her old face trembled, "Ling Xi, no matter what, you must never come into contact with that woman! Absolutely not! "

"Huh?" Ling Xi was stupefied.

Why not? Back then, when his grandfather mentioned his dead sister, wasn't it very sad? Now that they could find it, why couldn't they?

Seeing her like this, Uncle Zhang knew that his current state was a little crazy. With a cough, he said, "Ling Xi, Grandfather will not harm you. You absolutely cannot meet her. "

"Mm, I'll listen to you. I somewhat wanted to help Princess Hua-Yang, which was why I had such a thought. Since you've already said this much, I naturally won't go and get in touch with you. " Ling Xi obediently replied.

Only then did Uncle Zhang heave a sigh of relief.

However, his fingers were still trembling. As long as he didn't touch them, as long as … Surely there won't be a problem if we don't meet, right?

Twin Flowers... Only one. The choice he made in the past, he didn't expect that he would bump into it now. Uncle Zhang closed his eyes and tried his best to calm down.

The moon was bright in the sky.

The once prosperous night scenery of the capital gradually turned dark due to the disappearance of the Ninth Princess, as well as the deaths of many women who had their faces cut open.

There were very few pedestrians on the streets at night, and most of them were the imperial city's imperial guards.

However, compared to the previous guards who had stopped them when they saw them, the guards these days rarely stopped anyone. This was also one of the biggest benefits that would come out of Yun Muran's hand.
