Chapter 1358 Going to the Imperial Observatory?
If evil cultivators are so easy to deal with, a few Master Hans together could wipe them all out.
The imperial city is full of talented people, yet they still took so long to make their plans, which shows that the forces of the evil cultivators are complex and difficult to deal with.
"You know Xie Zheng, right?" Qi Yun suddenly asked with a half-smile. "The way he looks at you doesn't seem like he's a stranger. He dares to betray my master, so I have no choice but to ruin his plans. That's why I'm going to tell you a secret."
Song Chunxue had a premonition that this was not a good thing.
"Do you know why he was able to wield such power in the court and challenge those eunuchs in the palace?"
Song Chunxue's eyelids twitched; she could already guess what he was about to say.
"Okay, go ahead."
Qi Yun felt a chill, but still spoke up, "When he was young, it was said that the emperor admired him, which is why he allowed him to speak so arrogantly and disrespectfully. He couldn't bear to kill him, so he demoted him again and again and exiled him everywhere."
Song Chunxue's fingertips turned white as she stared at the snacks on the table like a statue.
"Although it's not nice to say it like this, I think the reason he's still in that position is because..."
"Bang!" She couldn't help but slam her hand on the table, her expression ruthless. "I know what you're going to say."
"So you also think..."
“I come from the Northwest. I’ve heard his name there. He’s an honest official, a rare good official. I believe he’s not that kind of person.” Saying this, she seemed to have used up all her strength, and her whole body trembled slightly. “Unless he admits it himself, you have no right to judge such a person.”
Qi Yun was stunned for a long time, then realized something was wrong with him.
He recalled many details he had recently overlooked and felt that Master Akita and Lord Xie must be old acquaintances.
"I was naive. Thank you for your guidance, Daoist Master." Qi Yun shook his head helplessly. "I just feel that he's acting strangely these days. His personality has changed drastically since he learned of Master's passing. He's now both righteous and wicked, both worldly and refined. It's hard to understand him. I just feel sorry for them."
Song Chunxue took a deep breath, tilted her head back and drank two mouthfuls of wine, without saying a word.
"I should go now. What is the wedding date? If it hasn't changed, I will go as scheduled."
If he finds out in the future that Master Akita is Song Chunxue, I wonder what his reaction will be.
But she had no interest in knowing, nor did she want Qi Yun to know.
"Wait, why do you insist on spending money to live outside? I have a house in the capital, which is very quiet and peaceful, and no one will disturb me on a daily basis..."
"No need, I prefer to come and go as I please, with no one knowing." She cupped her hands and said, "Farewell."
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared through the doorway.
Qi Yun was somewhat disappointed, but he became even more curious about this person.
After leaving the tavern, Song Chunxue went straight to where Wuyou was and took the injured Taoist priest Gushan back to Fengyu Temple.
Afterwards, she went into the city, found a clean and tidy inn, and waited for new information.
But to her surprise, the next evening, she was greeted by the Moon-Accompanying Immortal.
"Master? What brings you here?"
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal entered through the window; when he was outside, he was just an inconspicuous sparrow.
"I need to talk to you," the Moon-Accompanying Immortal said as he entered the room, first examining her current attire. "You look like a man. If I hadn't followed your scent, I would have mistaken you for someone else."
Song Chunxue poured herself a cup of tea. "What is it that requires Master to come to me in person?"
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal took out a thin wooden box and said, "If I hadn't come, very few people would have known you were still alive. Master Han is too busy to get involved in worldly affairs, so I could only come to you."
This doesn't seem like a small matter.
Song Chunxue immediately stood up, "I will obey Master's orders."
“The evil cultivators in the palace are rampant. They have joined forces with the harem and eunuchs, and evil spirits are in power. I think you should go to the Imperial Observatory and live in the palace.”
"Um?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, Han Qingfeng is now the Director of the Imperial Observatory and also the Imperial Preceptor, yet he is still too busy to deal with them."
