Chapter 568: Weird Luck
Yun Qingqing returned to her own courtyard in the palace.
The servants in the palace acted quickly and cleaned up all the corpses and bloodstains in the yard.
She returned to her room. On the table was the letter paper she had intended to write. Because she was interrupted by the assassin's incident, there was an ink stain on the paper.
The ink on the side has dried up.
Yun Qingqing stared at the ink stain on the paper for a while, reached out to throw the pen into the pen washer, and spread out a new piece of letter paper.
I didn’t know what to write at first, but it doesn’t matter anymore.
She picked up her pen again and wrote concisely about the assassination in the palace, as well as the confrontation in the palace and the fact that the queen was the mastermind behind the assassination.
After finishing the letter in one breath, she folded a thin piece of letter paper, put it into a small bamboo tube and sealed it, then sent a carrier pigeon to send the letter to the northern border.
After finishing all this, Yun Qingqing sat back in her chair and slowly exhaled.
She knew that the servants in the mansion would report the assassin to their master as soon as possible, but she still wanted to send another letter home.
Before the Chinese New Year, she promised Xiao Changheng that she would wait until after the New Year to take action against the Queen. Unexpectedly, the Queen took the initiative and killed herself. Now she is imprisoned in the palace, waiting to die quietly after the first month of the year.
This letter can be regarded as an explanation to Xiao Changheng.
The following days were very peaceful, but Yun Qingqing was very busy.
She first went back to her parents' home to stay with her mother and grandfather for two days. Ever since the second branch of the family was kicked out, the Marquis' Mansion had become much quieter and was now prosperous and peaceful.
She went to visit her grandparents' home with Yan Jinghua again. Now Yun Qingqing's aunt Yan Yuzhu has taken over part of the Yan family's industries and is doing a thriving business.
Yan Yuzhu's scumbag ex-husband Wu Yuan attempted murder and was sentenced to exile to the frontier. The Yan family is wealthy and powerful, and Yan Yuzhu is young and beautiful, so even though they had divorced once, matchmakers still came to her doorstep in the past few months.
But Yan Yuzhu was now fully focused on her career, and no matter how those matchmakers talked, she was completely unmoved. In the end, she simply gave orders to strictly forbid matchmakers from entering the house.
Grandpa Yan Hongshan was not a pedantic person. Seeing that he could not persuade her, he gave up and said frankly that not only would the Yan family's property be more than his daughter could spend in a lifetime, but just based on his youngest daughter's ability to make money, she herself would not starve.
Yun Qingqing brought precious tonic medicines and talismans as gifts for the elders to increase their blessings, prolong their lives, and protect the peace of the home.
My grandfather and my aunt were also very unambiguous and pushed all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry shop deeds to me, refusing any offer.
Before leaving, Yun Qingqing pulled her aunt over and handed her a list with several medicinal herbs on it.
Yan Yuzhu was confused:
"These are all common medicinal herbs. You can buy them at any pharmacy. If you need a large amount, you can go to our Yan family's pharmacy."
Yun Qingqing shook her head:
"not enough."
"Ah?" Yan Yuzhu was even more confused.
Yun Qingqing looked at her seriously and said:
"Aunt, ask your pharmacy to stock up on these medicines in the next few months. They will be needed soon and can save many lives."
Yan Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and her expression became serious:
"I see."
She was in charge of Yan's pharmacy, and it was no longer a secret that Yun Qingqing was the head of Tianming Pavilion. Yan Yuzhu chose to believe it without hesitation.
After the visit, Yun Qingqing rushed around among the various forces under her command, sending out large amounts of skills, talismans, and formations.
The Seven Stars Palace, the Tianxuan Sect, the Medical Immortal Valley, and the White Crane Ridge.
There are a total of thirty-five sects in Baiheling, and the Shuihua Sect is now the leader. The leaders of all the sects simply gathered in the Shuihua Sect to pay homage to the chief sect leader and held a banquet.
After finishing all these, Yun Qingqing came to Zhiluo Mountain, where a large number of mountain spirits and wild monsters had already gathered and were waiting.
Zhiluo took her to a secluded valley that she had chosen earlier:
"How about finding the place for observing qi in all directions according to your request?"
Yun Qingqing nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good, just what I want."
She ordered all the mountain goblins and monsters to retreat several miles away and spent five days and five nights transforming the valley. Only after the transformation was completed did she call the goblins and monsters back.
When the monsters passed through the thick fog and entered the valley, they were stunned by the scene before them.
There are spiritual plants everywhere here, and the air is full of spiritual energy. It is truly a rare paradise!
In this world today, all the better blessed places are occupied by the sects of cultivating immortals, and the space for monsters to practice cultivation is extremely limited.
And this valley now can be considered top-notch even among the blessed places, and it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds and thousands of monsters.
This is Yun Qingqing's return gift to the monsters for working together to summon the Emperor Liujing for her.
The valley is isolated from the world, and the thick fog at the valley entrance is not just for show. Only those who hold the "key" can enter. Otherwise, no matter how far you go, you will only end up outside the valley.
Yun Qingqing gave a "key" to each demon participating in the Banquet of a Hundred Demons. It was a nameplate engraved with intricate patterns.
Thousands of wild monsters were at first in disbelief, and then went into a frenzy.
Only two people seemed not so happy.
Yun Qingqing left the jubilant monsters in the valley behind and walked through the thick fog back to the valley entrance. Zhiluo was leaning against the mountain wall with her arms folded, waiting.
"Even if you promised them a gift in return, there's no need to be so exaggerated, right? Now the spiritual energy you've accumulated after the breakthrough is about to be used up?" Zhiluo's tone was cold.
Youya sat on a tree, swinging his short legs, and nodded in agreement:
"There is no need to do this, Pavilion Master."
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"You can save up your spiritual energy after you use it up, but the Banquet of a Hundred Demons may not succeed once in thousands of years. It's worth it."
Zhiluo was speechless.
Yun Qingqing threw another scroll to Youya:
"You have now succeeded in your physical training. Your physique is far superior to that of human practitioners, and different from that of the demon race. This is a training method that suits your physique. It is a return gift for your help during the last festival."
Youya took the scroll with some surprise. After opening it for a moment, his eyes lit up. He jumped down from the tree and bowed to Yun Qingqing with a serious expression:
"Thank you very much."
After settling all parties, the first half of the first lunar month had already passed and the Lantern Festival was just around the corner.
Yun Qingqing finally returned to the imperial capital and came to Tianming Pavilion.
During the Chinese New Year, Tianming Pavilion was closed until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. As Yun Qingqing had planned to close the pavilion during the Chinese New Year, she had sent Qiao'er to Tianming Pavilion to help early on. She simply spent the New Year here.
Qiao Er had never thought that she hadn't seen her young lady for half a month, so she came over aggrievedly:
"Miss...you didn't let me go back for so long, I thought you didn't want me anymore..."
Yun Qingqing laughed and ruffled her hair:
"What are you thinking about? I'm just worried that the house is too quiet and you'll feel bad. Don't you like the lively New Year the most?"
As she spoke, she took out a set of jewelry from the Yan family's Treasure Pavilion and gave it to Qiao'er as a New Year's gift.
Qiao'er's eyes lit up, she burst into laughter and took Yun Qingqing's arm:
"Miss is still the best~!"
The doorbell rang, and a red shadow rushed towards Yun Qingqing and landed on her thigh with a "slap".
"Father Xi~~~~! You have ignored the Yin family for a long time~~! Father Xi doesn't want a disciple anymore?"
Yun Qingqing lifted Su Tongyun by the back of her collar, held her in his arms, and thought about her for a moment, tugging at the corner of his mouth:
"Tongtong, how many meals do you eat a day? You've gained so much weight in a few days."
Su Anrong who came later smiled helplessly:
"This girl's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. A little kid eats more than several adults. Master, do you think she is okay?"
This is also what Su Anrong found strange. At first, she didn't dare let her daughter eat so much, but the little kid always found a way. Even if it caused a lot of trouble, she would still secretly give herself extra food.
But no matter how much she eats, she never feels uncomfortable. The doctor who examined her said that Tongtong was growing well and did not have any stomach problems.
Yun Qingqing smiled and reassured her:
"Don't worry, it's normal for Tongtong to eat more. She won't make anyone sick."
Su Anrong didn't understand, but she believed in Yun Qingqing's words.
Yun Qingqing said this because she was sure of herself.
This kid has half Taotie bloodline, so he is a foodie.
Several people walked upstairs, talking and laughing. Tongtong suddenly hugged Yun Qingqing's neck and whispered in her ear:
"Father Xi, over there, very far away, the luck has become very strange..."
Yun Qingqing looked at the direction of her finger and her expression paused.
The little beast was pointing to the north.
