One of these two, master and disciple, is the illegitimate son of a traitor, and the other is the future 'traitor'.
If Emperor Mingxi and his ministers found out about this, they would surely lock the master and disciple in a dark room.
"So that's how it is. Now things are very different from the original history. Fan Shiping is not dead, but the entire Fan family is doomed."
"Besides the two of us, is Fan Chengye the only one who knows Baiyi's true identity?"
Bai Yu probably had a guess in mind. What did his master want to do?
"Keep an eye on them. If any of them try to tell the truth, silence them immediately."
[Does the master want to protect Baiyi?]
"Xuanmingzi did save me, after all, and I'm repaying that favor with Baiyi. Since I saved him, I should see it through to the end; how can I give up halfway?"
Indeed, aside from being Fan Shiping's son, Baiyi has absolutely no connection to the Fan family. Saving him won't implicate the master in any other karmic consequences.
Xuanmingzi slowly loosened his grip on the whisk. He was right; this immortal lord was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.
Their choice to follow her, to serve her as their master, and to become her followers was not wrong.
Yue Fuguang was unaware that he already had a follower, a Taoist master who would later become the renowned King of the Underworld.
"One last question: Can commoners in the Dayan Kingdom freely intermarry with nobles from other countries?"
The reason why Yue Fuguang did not use intermarriage but instead used a marriage alliance was because the marriage between the two families was obviously based on mutual benefit.
I don’t know if it’s feasible, but the four great families obviously have some taboos, so whether Fan Chengye takes the concubine of the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changxin or Feng Yao as a concubine, it’s not a good idea.
They were all given the identity of women from the Dayan Kingdom. The concubine and Feng Yao were even from the same family, with the younger sister succeeding the older sister after the older sister's death, which was also a "good story".
Emperor Mingxi: Was the Grand Tutor asleep while the Divine Artifact was studying? Sister dies, sister succeeds—is this how the phrase is used?
All that studying during this period was a waste of time!
"Alright, we've finished talking about the Fan family's gossip. Let's get back to Bai Yu's matter."
Wei Ping and Cai Xian nodded vigorously in their hearts, "Yes, yes, tell me where Bai Yu went, the one they care about most."
Although his younger brother, Bai Yu, could also take the blame for Chong Hua's disappearance.
However, neither the emperor nor his ministers could feel at ease leaving Bai Yu, this dangerous element, outside.
As the saying goes, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.
This child, Bai Yu, must not be allowed to live!
Of the four great families, the only one who will survive is Baiyi, whom the little immortal lord will have to protect, and who knows nothing about it.
Just as everyone was waiting to hear what the artifact would say next, it suddenly said, "Master, Little Bead forgot to tell you that the poison that afflicted the Crown Prince and the Emperor was also from Du Zhongxian."
The poison that the prince was poisoned with was called "Seeking Fragrance in a Dream." People who were poisoned with this poison would become drowsy and their bodies would smell sweet. So after his death, he was also known as the "Fragrant Prince."
The poison that the emperor was given was even more sensual, named "Boundless Spring Colors," and he died with a smile on his face.
Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a joyous funeral!
Emperor Mingxi's face immediately turned frosty, alternating between red and white, and he was so angry that he didn't forget to glare at the officials below.
Is '喜丧' used like this?
Thinking of the alluring name 'Boundless Spring Colors', Emperor Mingxi began to grind his teeth again.
No, that Du Zhongxian is a menace. He must be eliminated as soon as possible before he can have peace of mind.
Just as the courtiers were worried that His Majesty would fly into a rage, little did they know that the Emperor had already decided to kill Du Zhongxian.
Upon hearing the words "joyful death," someone couldn't help but twitch at the corner of their mouth, which was caught red-handed by the enraged Emperor Mingxi.
He secretly clenched his fists. He might not dare to do anything to those two ancestors, but surely he could deal with the officials below him?
The officials in the hall naturally felt the deathly gaze emanating from their emperor.
If each of them had a tail, you would see that they were all tucked tightly between their legs at this moment.
Their faces were all serious, their eyes downcast, their minds seemingly closed.
Who's so cunning as to add their own drama, looking so somber? Is this some kind of premature mourning for their emperor?
Moonlight really wants to say, honey, you've gone too far!
Then look at Xie Zhiyan, who is known as the "Fragrant Prince," with his head bowed low.
Judging from the distinctly reddish color of his exposed neck and ears, he was both angry and ashamed.
However, with his father's 'joyful funeral' drawing attention from the crowd, he wasn't... embarrassed at all!
Moonlight: I'll pay you back even if I don't see your white knuckles! (doge emoji)
"What kind of quirk does Du Zhongxian have? Giving such poetic names to deadly poisons. Anyone who doesn't know better would think they're spices or fine wines."
[Perhaps it's because he comes from a family with a long history in the spice trade?]
"Let's leave him for now. Back to Bai Yu, where is he hiding? Can Little Pearl find out?"
[Master, Bai Yu has gone too far. Searching for him would be too taxing on my divine power. I'd be better off using that energy to find out where Lao Qian's sister is!]
Qian Gui's hand trembled violently as he was pouring tea for Emperor Mingxi, and the tea almost spilled.
He steadied himself and continued what he was doing, but the knuckles of his hand holding the teapot had turned white.
"Have you found Qian Tao's whereabouts? Where is she?"
Yue Fuguang was surprised. He didn't have this ability when the system was at level two. It was only after the upgrade that the data of the gossip system started to be slowly repaired and the ability grew.
Congratulations!
Qian Gui pursed his lips, but his ears were perked up. He had been searching for almost two months, but he had not found any trace of his sister.
Several times he thought that girl was no longer alive!
[In the capital's prison, Qian Tao was bought by Zhou Youliang, a member of a collateral branch of the Zhou family, and his situation has not been good in recent years.]
