Chapter 169
The invitation from Jiu Yu came unexpectedly. He was unaware of Ying Ning's true identity. Yu Cui Mo Cha's eyes held a pool of lingering coldness as he called out to her, "Miss."
"It seems that you haven't encountered any troubles lately, young master," Yingning asked.
Jiaoyu, however, still seemed to have a cold personality, though he was relatively gentle in front of her.
"It's not exactly going well; I've been at the music hall lately."
"The Royal Music Ensemble?" Yingning asked again.
"Yes." Jiaoyu nodded and said it again.
“If it weren’t for our agreement, I wouldn’t have had to stay in the palace for so long.”
"It seems you have already found out about the Pimi flower."
Looking at the noblewoman who seemed to be a few years younger than him, Mo Chamou also felt a little curious. He didn't know why this woman wanted to know about the royal family's Pimi flower.
But it has little to do with him, and besides, what he wants is already in the palace, so he can't avoid going there.
Fortunately, things went smoothly. He already knew where the thing was, and he also took the opportunity to investigate the existing Pyrrosia flowers in the royal family.
"Do you know... that this land beneath our feet was once the site of a dynasty a thousand years ago?" Jiao Yu suddenly asked.
"A thousand years ago?" Ying Ning pondered for a moment before speaking.
"You mean, Bi Chao?"
Jiaoyu lowered her eyes and unveiled the past that had been silent for too long: "The Bi Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, where the soil is fertile and disasters are rare, so there are often wars between the two sides."
"Fortunately, the royal family members are all loyal and brave, which allows them to maintain prosperity for hundreds or even thousands of years."
"But a hundred years ago, the Bi Dynasty was defeated."
He used only four words to describe the demise of a dynasty.
Jiaoyu, however, did not show any sadness. Instead, she continued, "It is said that the Bi Dynasty royal family was born with a unique fragrance, signifying that they were sent by heaven."
"The ruler of the country that devoured the Bi Dynasty, after discovering the peculiar physical characteristics of the Bi Dynasty royal family, did not immediately execute all the royal family members after the victory in the war."
Instead, they selected the most beautiful royal women to keep as their own.
"To further his interest, he ordered the apothecary to create a secret medicine that would force the royal women of the dynasty to exude a unique fragrance at certain times."
"Those women were in a state of unbearable suffering, unable to live or die. They became pregnant, only to have their pregnancies aborted."
"Over the course of hundreds of years, dynasties have changed several times."
"The royal family of the Kebi dynasty almost became a secret of imperial power, which was preserved during the change of dynasties."
"They refer to the Bi Chao people as the Bi Mi clan." Jiao Yu Mo's tea-colored eyes were somewhat bloodshot.
The humiliation he had endured for centuries made it almost impossible for him to control his anger.
"Jiaoyu," Yingning called out to him, but there was no response.
He concealed his pained expression: "The Bimi clan is imprisoned deep in the mountains, and members of the royal family with absolute power can go and choose them as their playthings."
"In the course of their evolution over thousands of years, the Bimi clan has repeatedly sought to descend into hell. However, those people were unwilling to give up such playthings, nor were they willing to allow the Bimi clan to leave behind their royal bloodline."
"But they force intermarriage within the Bimi clan to ensure the continuation of their bloodline," Jiaoyu sneered.
The snow-white color on his body couldn't mask the coldness in his eyes.
"But who knew that the Bimi clan didn't want to survive at all?"
To continue the bloodline?
It's better to die than to let your descendants suffer this torment generation after generation.
"Over the years, due to the drawbacks of endogamy, the bloodline of the Pimi clan has gradually become thinner."
"But about twenty years ago, a woman from the Bimi clan was brought into the palace."
"The Emperor's personal possession?" Yingning asked.
“Yes,” Jiaoyu replied.
"But she has been dead for many years."
