Yinghuan went out, brought the letter in and gave it to Baili Feiyue.
The letter was sent from General Dajing's Mansion, and the writer was her eighth sister Ling Xueer.
The letter said that Ling Sheng had returned to Dajing Kyoto from the border due to illness and was now recuperating in the mansion.
Ling Xueer did not mention Ling Sheng's specific situation, or whether the problem was serious or not. But she was well aware of the gap between Baili Feiyue and her father Ling Sheng, and she still wrote to her, so the situation was probably not optimistic.
"Master?" Yinghuan called Baili Feiyue.
Baili Feiyue put away the letter and said, "It's okay." Then she casually asked the previous question, "By the way, did Ximo go to see Jiuer?"
Baili Feiyue knew that Jiuer went to the palace today to say goodbye to Yin Li because she was about to leave Southern Xinjiang.
Jiuer and Yin Li are about the same age and get along well.
After all that Yin Li had gone through, he would probably try to hold himself together in front of her aunt. It would be good for Jiu'er to go and keep him company.
Children of their age naturally have their own methods.
Yinghua nodded, "That's what Master Ximo said."
Baili Feiyue was a little surprised to hear Yinghua call Ximo "Young Master". The relationship between these two people is really complicated and confusing.
But now is not the time to gossip about other people's personal relationships.
"But what happened to the Holy Church?"
Before, she was the one who took over the Holy Church, but later she felt that Jiuer was more suitable than herself. Although Jiuer was just a child, Baili Feiyue knew her daughter well. In Jiuer's hands, the Holy Church would definitely develop better than in her own hands.
After Jiuer took over the Holy Church, Baili Feiyue never asked about the affairs of the Holy Church again.
"I don't know about this. Although I have been traveling with Master Ximo all the way, Master Ximo usually goes out alone at night when he goes out to do things."
Just when Baili Feiyue was asking Yinghuan, it was in another palace in the embassy.
Changsun Wuji also received a letter.
The letter was from Jiuer, and it was written in a very sloppy hand, obviously in a hurry.
The meaning was very simple and clear. She was going back to the Western Region Holy Church first as she had some things to deal with, so she asked Changsun Wuji to tell Baili Feiyue.
It was incoherent, but she was sure that her father must understand why she wrote to him instead of directly to Baili Feiyue.
"Heh." Changsun Wuji, holding the letter, chuckled.
Xiang Yang said with a stiff upper lip, "My Lord, the tail of these things in Southern Xinjiang has been cleaned up."
"Then let's go back to Dajing." Changsun Wuji stood up, took the letter and went straight to the palace where Baili Feiyue was.
It’s not right for Xiangyang to follow, nor is it right for him not to follow.
When the princess came back from the ancestral temple yesterday, she went straight to the master. Later, the princess left the master's room and moved to another palace far away. Wasn't this obviously out of spite?
Xiangyang glanced at Zhuifeng, who had made himself look like a half-human, half-ghost and was standing not far away like a ghost.
"You said the Lord went to coax the princess?"
Zhuifeng said in silence, "It is not our place as subordinates to speculate on our master's affairs."
Xiangyang pressed his forehead helplessly, "Zhuifeng, your personality hasn't changed at all, you're so boring. Luori is boring enough, and you're no less. But since Luori is no longer working for the master, I don't even have anyone to talk to. Even if you're a taciturn person, it's better than having nothing."
Zhuifeng glanced at him, then turned and walked out.
Xiang Yang immediately chased after him, "Honestly, do you think that the Lord's approach in this incident in Southern Xinjiang is a little different from the past?"
This time the chaser stopped.
Look at Xiangyang.
Xiangyang's playful smile faded a little. "We found out earlier that someone had instigated several members of the Southern Border royal family to interfere with Yin Li's ascension to the throne, and you just happened to have found the underground palace. Miss Jiuer is here again at this time."
"So the princess asked you to take her and Miss Jiu'er to explore the underground palace first, so that it would be easier for you to carry out your plan later."
This was also the reason why when Baili Feiyue, Yin Li and two Southern Xinjiang court officials went in together later, Baili Feiyue was so calm and easily solved various problems along the way.
Because she had already been there once before!
Zhuifeng continued to look at Xiangyang.
Xiang Yang continued to analyze, "There is nothing wrong with this in itself. Although Miss Jiu'er is young, her medical and poison skills are not inferior to those of the princess. In fact, her talent in mechanical engineering and Gu is far greater than that of the princess. With her to explore the underground palace, and with you who have already been through the underground palace, it is indeed not that dangerous."
"But! But! That is a secret place in the southern border that has been unknown for thousands of years. How could the master not be there at the time?"
Zhuifeng didn't find it strange. "You think too much. The Lord has enough trust in the Princess's ability."
Xiangyang shook his head and said, "No, I didn't think too much about it."
He looked at Zhuifeng as if he was looking at a fool. "Although it is hard to believe, brother, please believe me. The degree of affection that the Lord has for the Princess is far beyond your imagination."
"This time, the master was not worried at all and let the princess and Miss Jiuer go with you alone. It's like... it's like the master knew there wouldn't be any major danger!"
"You mean the master knew about the underground secret palace long ago?" Zhuifeng finally took the initiative to ask.
Xiang Yang shook his head again, "Probably not. If we had known the location of the maze earlier, you wouldn't have had to lurk in the southern border for so long."
"What do you mean?"
Xiang Yang is worthy of being the bodyguard who can disguise himself as Zhang Sun Wuji and serve as his substitute at the critical moment.
Among the four great guards, if we have to say who has a certain understanding of Changsun Wuji, it must be Xiangyang.
A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, "I know! There is only one explanation. The master does not know the exact location of this underground palace, but the master must have known what is hidden in the underground palace in advance!"
Xiangyang didn’t know what was in the underground palace, but Changsun Wuji had asked Zhuifeng to come to southern Xinjiang to find a kind of Gu that had been refined in southern Xinjiang for thousands of years.
If it was a kind of Gu that had been refined for thousands of years, and the master had specifically asked for it, then it must be extremely mysterious and dangerous!
How can the master be at ease?
Xiangyang knew that he shouldn't ask. He wouldn't be foolish enough to ask whether there was a "Gu" in the Zhuifeng Underground Palace, but he instinctively felt that it must not be the kind of Gu he imagined!
Although Xiangyang's words were somewhat confusing, he himself didn't fully understand.
But Zhuifeng suddenly figured it out.
Even if the master never knew about the underground palace in Southern Xinjiang, did he know what the royal family of Southern Xinjiang was doing in secret?
How did the Lord know about this?
Zhuifeng suddenly felt that there was something he had not thought of.
"If what you said is true, then the master must have guessed that Yin Xuanmo also wanted to destroy the secret of the underground palace. The princess and her group are naturally not in that much danger."
That's true.
Xiangyang also agreed.
But, “I always feel like there’s something I’m missing.”
"Then think about it quickly. We will leave Southern Xinjiang tomorrow. If you can't remember it now, you will have no chance."
"Hey, you. You can actually joke? Tsk tsk." Xiangyang hurriedly followed.
But the wind in front suddenly stopped.
Zhuifeng finally remembered what had flashed through his mind before and he didn't catch it.
If what Xiangyang said was true, the Lord would have guessed long ago that the secret of Southern Xinjiang was not only the refining of Gu, but also the origin and strangeness of the holy fetus.
Does the Lord want... does He want the princess to know from the head of the Southern Xinjiang Witch Cult that his physique is as strange as that of the holy fetus?
After all, he had followed the master for many years, and it was only when he heard the head of the witch cult say it in the underground palace that he knew there was such a thing...
"Why are you in a daze? Do you also think what I said makes sense?"
Xiang Yang continued to babble, "It's not just this matter. There's more. The Lord killed all the members of the Southern Xinjiang royal family. Although the Lord always does things to root out the problem, this is also a bit wrong..."
…
On the other side, Baili Feiyue was saying, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if I don't know. I think it's some matters of the church. If it's really something big, Ximo and Jiuer will naturally tell me. I'll ask them when they come back."
"They left."
Suddenly, a man's deep and pleasant voice sounded.
When Yinghuan saw the person coming, she immediately bowed and saluted.
Baili Feiyue snorted when she saw the man.
To be clear, I'm still angry with you!
Just as he was about to turn his head away, he realized, "Who left? Jiuer and Ximo?"
Changsun Wuji came in and handed the letter in his hand to her directly.
Before seeing the letter, Baili Feiyue had just asked casually. She didn't think anything had happened to Ximo or the Holy Church.
After reading the letter, I keenly realized that something was wrong.
"When did they leave? Where are they now? What happened to the Holy Church?"
When Yinhuan heard this, she was also stunned, but she was tactful enough to retreat first.
Changsun Wuji glanced at the anxious little woman and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you angry?"
"You..." Baili Feiyue almost choked to death on her own saliva.
Seeing that Changsun Wuji had already sat down lazily on the pear wood chair over there, Baili Feiyue immediately followed him.
Before she opened her mouth, the man casually said, "Recently, there is a rumor out there that Murong Shuo left behind a treasure map. Whoever gets the treasure map gets Jiuer, and whoever gets Jiuer gets the world."
Jiuer never expected that her trusted father would tell the truth so easily.
Baili Feiyue was stunned for a moment, and then she met the man's mysterious purple eyes with a smile, and after a long while she uttered two words, "Ridiculous!"
How could there be such a thing!
The man didn't respond, but just looked at her with a smile.
Baili Feiyue pursed her lips and sat down on the man's lap.
She thought she understood why Jiuer wrote to Changsun Wuji instead of herself.
"Husband." She murmured softly.
"Hmm?" the man said in a low voice.
Baili Feiyue suddenly wanted to hug the man in front of her tightly, and she did so, holding his waist tightly with both arms.
No one spoke. After hugging for a long while, Baili Feiyue looked up and smiled at him, "I'm not angry with you anymore."
The man chuckled, "Thank you, ma'am?"
Baili Feiyue held the person and took several puffs before saying, "I'm afraid Jiu'er is in danger. Please have someone watch over her in secret."
"You're not going with me?"
Baili Feiyue shook her head, "I can't be with her forever." She frowned slightly, "But there is something I really want to talk to her about. It's fine that she likes to study Gu. But if you touch this kind of thing too much, it will indeed cause some damage to your body."
"By the way, do you have any clue about the person behind the treasure map?"
