Chapter 498: The Uncomfortable Truth
Xie Yingmian's eyes sparkled: "Could it be that Lu Hesheng is the emperor's illegitimate son? Or is it that Lu Hesheng is the illegitimate son of Prince Zhe?"
Yu Lingye shook his head: "Neither, it must be a coincidence. I just associated some things with Lu Hesheng."
"The twin lotuses devoured them, swallowing their forms and taking on their appearances. They were born from the same womb and shared the same features."
"Don't you find it strange to see these words engraved on the underwater mechanism?"
Xie Yingmian nodded, it was indeed very strange.
Twins look similar to begin with, and they take on each other's shapes and appearances, thus achieving the same appearance as the twins from the same womb.
It seems like a futile effort.
"What's your guess?" she asked.
Yu Lingye said: "Same birth, same appearance, perhaps it doesn't mean that twins look alike."
Xie Yingmian didn't understand.
Yu Lingye explained, "The insect is called the Twin Lotus Gu. During its breeding season, the Twin Lotus Gu will plant its young on pairs of twins."
"I don't think the other party's goal is just to reproduce the Queen."
"The key point may lie in the twins. However, the twins don't need to be born and look the same. Therefore, there is only one answer left."
Xie Yingmian understood now.
"you mean……"
"Swallow its form and take on its appearance. Is that what it means literally?"
Yu Lingye nodded.
Xie Yingmian broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
According to Yu Lingye, if one of the twins who were infected with the poisonous insect devoured someone, the other twin would look like the person who was devoured.
It sounds a bit awkward.
It’s easier to understand if we give an example.
Suppose the twins are named A and B.
A and B were infected with the Twin Lotus Gu when they were newborns.
During his growth period, according to the teachings of the Twin Lotus Sect, Jia is the incarnation of the Twin Lotus Goddess, the righteous side, and grows up safely in a temple or Taoist temple.
B is the incarnation of an evil god. He suffered endless abuse at home since childhood and developed a dark personality.
Wait until the time is right.
The dark-minded B devoured the target of the Twin Lotus Sect, C. This is what is called swallowing its form and changing its appearance.
After B devours C, A, who is practicing in a temple far away, will complete the step of "sharing the same appearance" due to the effect of the Twin Lotus Gu.
The end result is that A will get C's appearance without any cost.
At that time, when A appears as C again, A will completely become C.
As for B.
As a nutrient, B has only one way to go, which is death.
B himself has a dark, paranoid and perverted personality. Even if the court investigates, they will not find anything abnormal. They will only think that B is a born evil person.
Xie Yingmian said, "If it's really as we suspected, it's too scary."
This trick is naturally useless when used on ordinary people.
However, if it were used in the royal family or the imperial court, and the prince or important court officials were replaced silently, it would be a catastrophe without any swordplay.
"The Twin Lotus Cult has been planning this for over twenty years. I wonder how many people in the imperial court have been replaced."
Fortunately, Hua Yingxue left the list.
We should be able to find out by investigating according to the list.
Yu Lingye said, "This raises a question. The person behind the Twin Lotus Sect and the Emperor are probably not on the same side."
Xie Yingmian: "The amount of information is a bit overwhelming, let me take my time."
She pinched her eyebrows and felt her head was full.
It took a long time.
She finally got some order.
"The person Hua Yingxue mentioned as guiding her in establishing the Twin Lotus Sect, I suspect, is Aunt Yu."
"When Xiao Houzi was dying, he said that the Queen Mother was the Saint of the Gu Clan."
"I didn't detect any Gu insect scent on the Queen Mother. I thought Xiao Houzi had made a mistake."
"Now that I think about it, perhaps the one who has the least scent of a Gu insect is the most suspicious."
The Queen Mother may no longer be the original Queen Mother.
The real empress dowager might have been swallowed up long ago.
Xie Yingmian didn't want to think about it any further.
It will make people feel mentally uncomfortable.
Yu Lingye handed Xie Yingmian a cup of tea and said, "Don't think too much about it. I've asked Liuguang Pavilion to investigate."
Xie Yingmian drank the tea in the cup and sighed slightly.
She felt depressed.
I feel depressed every year.
"Meibao, we've come all the way here for nothing," Suisui said. "I thought we'd find some information about Mom, but it turns out to be useless information."
Xie Yingmian deeply agreed.
She dreamed of her twin brothers and thought she could get some clues from the Twin Lotus Sect.
As a result, there was not a single clue.
I also inexplicably inferred some very uncomfortable truths.
vomit……
Three days later.
Wen Juexia finished burying the bodies of everyone in Feixue Mountain.
Xie Yingmian also removed the poisonous insect from Lu Wang.
Lu Wang regained consciousness, but he also had less than a year left to live.
Xie Yingmian did not mention the matter of becoming a disciple.
Firstly, it was because of Lu Hesheng's appearance, and secondly, to become their disciple, Lu Hesheng needed to follow them to Beijing.
Lu Hesheng also wanted to accompany Lu Wang through the last year of his life.
As for a year later, perhaps they are no longer in Shangjing.
The temperature in Shangjing is much higher than that in Hehua Town.
The dog days of summer haven’t ended yet, it’s hot everywhere and everything is hot.
Xie Yingmian was afraid of heat, so she stayed listlessly in the room with a basin of ice and was unwilling to go out.
Suisui has always been listless and dull.
A man and a beast sat opposite each other and sighed together.
"Why are you sighing?" Xie Yingmian asked, "Are you afraid of the heat too?"
Sui Sui: “Not afraid of the heat.”
"I just miss my mom."
"Meibao, what on earth do you think Mommy uses to keep jumping on top of other people? Is this even possible?"
Xie Yingmian: ...
She asked who was going?
Sui Sui: "Tell me, who is Mom possessed by now?"
"I really want to see her."
Xie Yingmian: "If we are destined to meet, we will meet again."
Sui Sui: It understands the truth, but...
If we could live a good life by understanding the truth, there would be no miserable people in this world.
"Oh." Sui Sui sighed again.
Xie Yingmian also sighed.
"Ji Yunzhang is here." When Yu Lingye entered the room, he brought a burst of heat.
The heat drives away the cold air that has accumulated with great difficulty.
Xie Yingmian, who was already feeling hot, felt even more uncomfortable and kept fanning herself: "What is he doing here?"
Yu Lingye: "I don't know. I asked to see you."
Xie Yingmian thought about it and met Ji Yunzhang.
Ji Yunzhang: "Your Highness Prince Ling, I would like to speak with Princess Ling alone."
Yu Lingye frowned.
Xie Yingmian was fine, and waved to Yu Lingye, "Remember to close the door and don't let the cold air escape."
Yu Lingye: ...
He gave Ji Yunzhang a cold look.
Ji Yunzhang pretended not to see it.
There were only two people left in the house.
Xie Yingmian said, "Just tell me what you have to say."
Ji Yunzhang: "Your subordinate, I would like Princess Ling to help me take your pulse."
Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Ji Yunzhang sat down opposite Xie Yingmian and extended his right hand: "Please."
"Men on the left, women on the right." Xie Yingmian said, "Lord Ji, are you sure you want to reveal your identity?"
Ji Yunzhang said nothing and just let Xie Yingmian take his pulse.
Xie Yingmian placed her hand on Ji Yunzhang's pulse.
As soon as she felt the pulse, Xie Yingmian immediately retracted her gaze and said seriously, "You are pregnant."
