A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, the relations among countries in the world have become increasingly stable, and the various domestic relations and developments in most countries have miraculously tended towards a certain balance, and have begun to rise steadily, either quickly or slowly.
With both foreign and domestic affairs stable, the societies and people of all countries prospered unprecedentedly.
This year, the treasure map related to the daughter of Regent Prince Dajing popped up again.
Moreover, Jiuer got the second piece of the treasure map on her birthday.
Baili Feiyue and Changsun Wuji did not accompany them this time.
Because Baili Feiyue's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no sign of giving birth after ten whole months of pregnancy.
All the doctors who could come to see me checked and said... there was nothing wrong. Everything was normal.
After Jiuer got the fragment of the treasure map again, she hurried back to Dajing Kyoto. Now she would stay by Baili Feiyue's side unless she had to.
After all, it has been a year and the baby in Baili Feiyue's belly has not made any noise...
But this time was different. Jiuer had only reached halfway when she received news from Beijing that her mother had finally given birth!
A younger sister was born. Both mother and daughter are safe.
Jiuer, who just turned eight, thinks her sister is good. She is not as annoying as her brother! Humph! She is finally not the youngest one anymore.
Perfect!
Please love this sister well from now on.
In addition to the gifts that had been prepared long ago, Jiuer also took a detour to collect many precious items for her sister whom she had never met that others could not even ask for. Only then did she return to Dajing Kyoto with a full load and full of expectations.
When Jiuer returned to the Regent's Palace, the little princess was already more than a month old.
Jiuer met her parents and sister in Zhangsun Wuji's study. She couldn't wait to walk towards the baby wrapped in soft brocade on the bed.
He didn't even say hello to Baili Feiyue and the others right away.
"Sister, I am your sister Jiuer..."
Uh...the smile on Jiuer's face almost disappeared for a moment.
The eight-year-old girl gasped, pointed her finger at the baby girl in the cradle, and shivered for a while.
Baili Feiyue held her fingers in amusement, "Stop it."
Jiuer stopped pretending and immediately smiled again, but her mood was still delicate.
She stared at the baby girl on the bed. "Another replica of her father." Even more like her than her weird brother who was the emperor.
It's also strange, this face was born as a man, charming but not feminine, and was born as a baby girl, even though she was only a month old, Jiuer felt... like, a Gu!
The kind of poison that can bring disaster to a country and its people with just one look.
Jiuer stared at the baby girl with curiosity and interest, but the baby girl completely ignored her, as if she didn't care at all that there was suddenly someone around her.
No matter how long Jiuer looks at her.
Jiuer began to worry, "Mom, why didn't my sister even blink?"
"You want to know?"
"Yes!" Is there something wrong with me?
Even a one-month-old baby should have some movements, and it is impossible for his eyes to have no reaction at all.
Baili Feiyue pulled her to Changsun Wuji and began to ask Jiuer whether she found the treasure map this time.
After Jiuer gave the fragment of the treasure map to Baili Feiyue, she approached Changsun Wuji and looked over. "Father, what book are you reading?"
Changsun Wuji glanced at her and asked, "Do you want to see it?"
Jiuer nodded, and Changsun Wuji gave her the book.
Jiu'er leaned against Changsun Wuji and turned over. Just as she was turning over vigorously, Baili Feiyue poked her quietly and whispered, "Look, your sister is moving!"
Jiuer looked back immediately with interest. She moved quickly, but the baby in the cradle on the bed moved even faster.
The moment Jiuer turned around, the swaddling clothes that had obviously changed position were no longer moving. Her expression was also calm.
Jiuer was shocked.
"How... did she change her position by herself? How did she do that?"
Changsun Wuji raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the swaddling clothes on the bed, and said indifferently, "Crawled."
Baili Feiyue added, "She can crawl in half a month. My senior brother and I have checked her and there is nothing wrong with her body. She just crawled earlier than other children."
Is this an earlier question?
Jiuer deeply doubted herself.
She wanted to see how her little sister crawled, but she never saw it because whenever the three of them looked over there, the baby girl on the bed would become motionless again.
She only moves when no one is paying attention to her.
Jiuer later found out that unlike her brother who cried loudly when he was born, and unlike her who cried like a weak cat at that time, this boy had not cried or even made a sound since he was born.
Baili Feiyue seriously suspected that she was mute, even though no abnormalities were found in her throat and tongue.
Until Jiuer left the house again, she did not see her sister move or make a sound or cry.
The sun rises and the moon moves; flowers bloom and fall.
Year after year.
Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiuer was fifteen years old, and her younger sister Changsun was seven years old. Jiuer had never seen her younger sister say a word or smile.
Not only did she not see it, Baili Feiyue and others also did not see it.
Changsun Yu's personality is much weirder than hers or Changsun Qing's. She seems to be detached from the whole world and she doesn't talk to anyone.
Over the years, one of the great pleasures of Baili Feiyue and Jiuer was to tease Changsun and talk to her, hoping to elicit a response from her. Any response would do.
But undoubtedly, they all failed.
In the past two years, not only had Jiuer not seen her eldest grandson talk or laugh with her, she had even rarely seen Baili Feiyue.
Now, the map in Jiuer's hand is almost complete, but she still can't tell where it is.
The most crucial piece, not surprisingly, was finally obtained on the eve of her sixteenth birthday.
This time the clue is easy to find, it's somewhere at the foot of the Holy Mountain in the Western Region.
Jiuer returned to the Western Regions and went to the foot of the Holy City's Holy Mountain, where she found the most crucial piece of the map.
However, when she finished putting the puzzle together, she chuckled.
Because after the puzzle was completed, the lines on the map gradually changed color. After the lines appeared again, there were only three words - Is it fun?
Hehe, it seems like I have been teasing her for the past few years!
interesting!
Just as Jiu'er was grinding her teeth, an old voice sounded, "I greet the Lord."
Jiuer looked at the old man who appeared out of nowhere.
He was really old, his face was full of wrinkles and there were not many sparse white hairs left on his head.
He was holding a black cloth cover covering something.
"No thanks. Tell me, what surprise did the late Saint leave for me?"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Let me guess... Mother once said that there was an old man lurking in a small inn in Dajing Kyoto for many years. Later, she and Yinghua exposed the old man's identity, and the old man disappeared and has not been seen since. That old man, is it you?"
"I am ashamed to say that it is me. I am waiting for you here today because I have something to give you."
The old man tremblingly tried to remove the black cloth.
When he pulled the black cloth cover open a little, Jiuer's eyes froze. When he pulled the black cloth cover open completely, revealing the strange and exquisite lantern, Jiuer's expression changed completely.
The skin of the lantern was as white as snow, and painted on it were dozens of butterflies in gold and black, in various shapes and lifelike.
Under the blood-red sunset, the golden light was flowing and the butterfly seemed to be injected with life, full of evil spirit and ready to fly.
Jiuer had seen this thing two or three times when he was a child.
But it was not on a lantern, but on a person's back.
At that time, that person had such a floral embroidery on his back!
Yes, this lantern is made of human skin!
The old man's hoarse voice came slowly, "This lantern was made by the late Saint himself. He said that he raised two children in his lifetime. He didn't raise them very well, but he couldn't just ignore them. He said that this lantern was a gift he prepared for the two children. However, the older child had a better gift, so I followed his will and gave the lantern to the younger child."
Jiuer stared at the lantern, a little dazed.
When she came to her senses, there was only the lantern, but no old man.
…
The summer of the eleventh year of Emperor Chengyuan’s reign.
When Emperor Chengyuan's eldest grandson Qing received an urgent letter from Ximo, the Right Reverend of the Western Region Saint Church, he crumpled the letter after reading it, saying, "This is too ridiculous!"
Xiangyang, who still had a baby face, asked, "Why is your majesty so angry?"
The sixteen-year-old young emperor was almost a replica of Changsun Wuji, except that his stature had not yet fully grown and his features were a little immature.
He laughed instead of getting angry, "Jiu'er left the protection of the Western Region Saint Church and went to look for medicine alone. Now no one knows where she is!"
"I said I would find a way to cure her illness!" His temples were throbbing. "But she, a powerless person, went to some godforsaken place to find medicine, and she even planted some amnesia poison on herself!!"
Xiangyang could understand the young emperor in front of him very well.
Your Majesty, you really have to worry too much about being a brother.
He used to have an icy face, but now he is so angry at his sister that veins pop out all day long.
Miss Jiuer was indeed ill, a rare disease. But before she was twelve years old, no one had ever found out or discovered it, including herself and the princess.
Later, she learned that when the princess was born, she was in a coma and had lost her memory. The then Holy Saint of the Western Regions, Murong Shuo, had used extremely terrifying and strange means to forcibly control her.
That method didn't work until she turned twelve.
Everyone only knows about it when the disease breaks out.
At this moment, Xiang Yang didn't know what to say, but the emperor in front of him must be worried and confused, "Your Majesty, since Miss Jiuer has made this decision, she must have her own arrangements. It's 90% certain that there will be no problem."
It’s not stable at all!
That girl has always been heartless and bold, there is nothing she dares not to do! She worries him more than Chang Sunyu! No, it should be said that there is no one of these two sisters who does not worry him.
He must have owed them in his previous life!
The young emperor was on the verge of a temper all day long. "Find her! Find her intact!"
