Chapter 302 Reopening the Destiny Pavilion
But just as he was struggling with how to refuse the Regent without angering him, Jingyao tugged at his sleeve.
"Dad...I want to go to Beijing."
Lu Sicong was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Jingyao whisper softly but firmly:
"The princess saved my life and helped me find my parents. She has been very kind to me. I want to serve her and repay her kindness."
His heart trembled, he nodded, turned around and took Jingyao to bow to Xiao Changheng and Yun Qingqing:
"The prince and princess have repeatedly saved my daughter and I from danger. We have no way to repay them, but we will obey their orders!"
Xiao Changheng and Yun Qingqing helped them up respectively. Yun Qingqing patted Jingyao on the head and said with a smile:
"If you really want to repay me, then go to the Ministry of Works with your father and learn some skills. In the future, you will be able to help more than just serving tea and water as a maid."
Jingyao pursed her lips in confusion, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
But when he heard her say that she could be of great help in the future, he immediately nodded without hesitation:
"I understand. I will definitely not let the princess down."
The trip to Pingzhou was finally completed and the group started their return journey that same day.
…
…
Imperial Capital.
Xiao Zirui looked forward to news from Pingzhou every day, but instead of waiting for the news that something happened to the Regent, he welcomed the Imperial Master with a heavy face.
"How?" Xiao Zirui looked at the gloomy face of the national teacher and had a bad feeling in his heart, "Did the plan fail?"
"It's worse than that..." The Imperial Master looked confused and worried. "I received a message from Senior Brother Cang Huai saying that our uncle is in danger and he has to return to the sect to heal his wounds. He told us to be careful with Yun Qingqing and not to act rashly."
"What!" Xiao Zirui was shocked. "Isn't your uncle a hermit master? How come he can't even deal with Yun Qingqing?"
The Imperial Master said with an annoyed look:
"Master uncle's ability is definitely not something that ordinary people in the Xuanmen can do. But Yun Qingqing is also a person who has mastered the legendary Dunjia. She must have the support of the masters of the Seven Stars Hall. She must have brought reinforcements with her on this trip to Pingzhou!"
He couldn't believe it after receiving the message from Cang Huai, but after thinking about it, this was the only possibility.
"I will go back to Tianxuan Sect and ask Senior Brother Canghuai for clarification."
"But before you find out Yun Qingqing's true colors, Your Highness the Crown Prince should keep a low profile and refrain from making any further moves for the time being."
The Imperial Master gave a serious warning, but found that Xiao Zirui's eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Your Highness?"
Xiao Zirui came back to his senses and said thoughtfully:
"Master Imperial Master, you said that Yun Qingqing couldn't even deal with your uncle. Is it possible that something went wrong when you were looking for Tian Feng?"
"Yun Qingqing and Yun Bailian are both in the Yun Mansion. Is it possible that she is the real ..."
"Impossible!" The Imperial Master's face darkened and he interrupted immediately.
"The virtual butterfly of my Tianxuan Sect only recognizes luck. It is impossible for them to ignore Tianfeng and attach themselves to people with weak luck! Your Highness, there is no need to doubt it."
"Your Highness, you must understand that luck is only one of the conditions for success. If the opponents are all ordinary people, naturally those with great luck will have an absolute advantage. But the bad thing is that Yun Qingqing is actually a member of the Xuanmen Sect, and behind her is a force like the Seven Stars Palace!"
"Now I am almost certain that Yun Bailian's Heavenly Phoenix luck must have been interfered with and suppressed by her. As long as Yun Qingqing is eliminated, the Heavenly Phoenix will naturally recover its luck after being freed and help you become a real dragon!"
Xiao Zirui nodded:
"Then I'll rely entirely on the Imperial Master."
The Imperial Master warned him not to act rashly, and then left the Prince's Mansion.
He thought that if Uncle Qingxuanzi was really killed, the sect would definitely not let it go. By then, he was afraid that the matter would escalate into an incident between Tianxuan Sect and Qixing Palace, and he would not be able to escape responsibility.
You have to prepare in advance.
In fact, when he first heard that Uncle Qingxuanzi was in trouble, he was shocked and worried for a while, but after talking to the prince, he calmed down and suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity!
Yun Qingqing was a young and inexperienced man who acted without knowing his own limitations. Relying on the support he had, he actually killed Uncle Master Qing Xuanzi.
Although the Seven Stars Palace is powerful, it is by no means the only dominant one in the Xuanmen. They are not in the right in this matter. When the sect holds them accountable, I am afraid that even the Seven Stars Palace will not be able to protect Yun Qingqing!
Even if we take a step back, even if the Seven Stars Palace is determined to protect her at all costs, they will definitely capture her and put her under house arrest.
As long as she leaves Dijing, she will have no control over what happens here!
…
…
It was five days later that Yun Qingqing and his group returned to the capital.
With Xiao Changheng's words, Lu Sicong successfully re-established his household in the imperial capital, removed the surname "Lu" and changed his given name to "Sicong". Jingyao's registered name also followed her father's surname, and was named "Si Jingyao".
When Si Cong entered the Ministry of Works, Xiao Changheng did not directly give him a high position with generous salary, but instead let him start as a ninth-rank official.
Although the ninth rank was the lowest among all official positions, Xiao Changheng directly assigned him to the manufacturing team of the Ran family's mechanical crossbow.
As long as he can achieve something here, and with the credit of offering the formula of the Black Steel, promotion is only a matter of time.
When Jingyao was still young, she started as an apprentice beside her father.
In addition, Yun Qingqing specially arranged a teacher for her to give her half-day lessons every three days. The father and daughter were naturally very grateful.
After all these things were arranged, Yun Qingqing immediately devoted herself to her career at Tianming Pavilion.
On the first day she returned to Tianming Pavilion, Zhiluo immediately took out a stack of papers, which were all filled with records of events that had accumulated over the past few days and that only she could handle.
"Recently, our Tianming Pavilion has become more and more famous, and more and more people have come to us for help. If this continues, even if you stay up all day and work around the clock, I don't think you will be able to handle it."
Zhiluo lay on the table and sighed tiredly.
"Spiritual power is important, but you can't risk your life too much. It would be better to open the door once every three to five days."
"Sister Zhiluo's words make sense!" Qingjue slumped crookedly on another chair and said, "In my opinion, we should not only open once every three to five days, but also add a lottery process. Only those who win the lottery can ask the Pavilion Master to tell us the fortune. Each time we open, we only draw one winning number at the hour of Mao, the hour of Si, and the hour of Wei. There are only three times a day!"
"If this continues, even if our Pavilion Master sister splits herself into eight or ten, she won't be able to handle all the people who are seeking divination in the world!"
Yun Qingqing raised her head from a pile of files and said thoughtfully:
"You have some truth in what you say."
Zhiluo and Qingjue's eyes lit up.
"Are you really determined to do as we say?"
"Sister Pavilion Master is wise! When should we issue the notice?"
Yun Qingqing pondered for a moment and said:
"We have to change the rules, but we can't open only once every three to five days. We can change it to closing one day every five days."
"As for the drawing of lots, we will draw three lots every business day as Qingjue said."
"But apart from these, many people who come to seek divination now have traveled a long way and come here sincerely. It would be too pitiful if they were turned away just because they didn't win the lottery."
"How about this..."
Two pairs of eyes stared at her:
"Is there any other good solution?"
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly:
"Those who don't win the lottery can have another chance to draw another lot."
"Ah?" Zhiluo was stunned. "If you can't win, try again. What does this mean?"
Yun Qingqing curled her lips, picked up the top piece of paper in the stack, stood up and said:
"You will know about this matter when the time comes. Let's deal with these first today."
Zhiluo looked at the contents of the paper in her hand, her expression slightly tense:
"This incident... do you already know the reason?"
Yun Qingqing became serious and nodded:
"Let's go and take a look together."
