Changan ignored Nangong Rui's words and said with a smile, "Cousin, bring it here quickly."
Nangong Rui was helpless. He knew that if Chang'an didn't want to tell him, he would not be able to get any information out of him no matter how hard he tried.
He took out an amber ring from his bosom and placed it in front of Chang'an, saying with a smile, "Some old guys in the sect and some people in the royal family are eyeing this thing.
But ever since your mother passed away, the amber ring has never seen the light of day.
I never thought you, who have never set foot on the land of the South, would know where it is. No matter how hard those old guys try to figure it out, they won’t know that this amber ring is right under their noses.”
"Old guy? The old guy cousin is referring to is your father Nangong Fu, right?" Chang'an smiled.
Nangong Rui chuckled and looked at Chang'an, "You are truly impressive. However, your sudden change makes me doubt that you have always been smart, but you have been living a life of mediocrity and appearing foolish.
Tell me, cousin, how did you know where the amber ring is?"
"How would I know? I just happened to find a clue my mother left behind. Ultimately, it's my mother who's smart and can see through people's minds."
"Aunt is naturally a smart person." Nangong Rui smiled, a little curious, "But, how did you find these clues?"
"I miss my grandfather." A trace of melancholy passed through Chang'an's heart, "But it's not time to go see him yet."
Nangong Rui naturally understood that Chang'an was reluctant to talk about it. "Okay, I know you don't want to talk about it, but your character is much better now than when you were a child. In the past, when you encountered something you didn't want to talk about, you would become deaf and dumb, not saying anything.
"Now at least say something, even if it's not the answer to the question. But what do you mean it's not the right time yet? Will there be changes tomorrow?"
"Actually, I don't plan to go." Chang'an had originally planned to live in the South for some time after his great revenge, so as to spend some time with his grandfather, the old naughty boy.
Things change rapidly in the court and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.
"I just want to know who is behind the Qilin Military Talisman in the Shuzhou Imperial Palace."
"I don't understand why you are so sure it's someone from the Shuzhou Imperial Palace and not the Shijin Kingdom or the Southern Kingdom?"
"Cousin, Chang'an can certainly trust you. Besides, you also said that when my grandfather gave you the Qilin Military Talisman, there was no third person present, so the problem must be in the Shuzhou Palace."
"So, you deliberately spread the news and turned yourself into bait."
Chang'an stood up with a smile on his face and put on a cotton cloak. He walked to the door and looked back, "Beside the bait, there are you, my cousin, and Bei Mingxuan, so I, the bait, will not be eaten by the fish."
"Hey - you, where are you going?" Nangong Rui helplessly watched Chang'an leave. He could only honestly return to Gu Qingfeng's yard.
After leaving the general's mansion in Chang'an, a fast horse headed straight out of the city.
However, after leaving the city, Chang'an did not travel far, but led his horse and stood under a sycamore tree.
From a distance, he looked quiet and independent. Fu Cheng rode out of the city at full speed and saw Chang'an, who was looking at him with a smile.
He felt a little panicked for a moment, having been discovered. He feigned composure, as if it were an accidental encounter, "I greet the princess. Why are you here alone? Where is Miss Dongxue?"
Chang'an smiled and shook his head, his eyes bright and clear, "Fu Cheng, don't follow me anymore. Go back and tell Bei Mingxuan that I will be back soon."
"Your subordinate...the master is just worried about the princess." Fu Cheng looked ashamed. He didn't expect that he would be discovered by Chang'an, and the words were so blunt.
Changan's smile was as light as a gentle breeze. "Go back. I just went to Biquan Temple to pray for my mother-in-law's health. I hope her eyes can recover soon."
At the same time, he sent a message to Fu Cheng, "Don't alert the enemy. Go and investigate this person secretly."
Fu Cheng was stunned. He almost realized that there was someone on the tree, holding his breath and hiding deliberately. He suddenly felt that he was really careless.
Chang'an could see the worry in Fu Cheng's eyes, "Don't worry, I'm the old general's granddaughter after all. I know some martial arts, so I can definitely defend myself."
Fu Cheng had no choice but to obey. Thinking of Chang'an's mastery of the Drizzle Heart Technique, he put his worries aside and said, "Yes."
Chang'an watched Fu Cheng leave before she got back on the horse. However, the moment she turned around to get on the horse, the corner of her eyes glanced at the tree beside her, and the smile on her lips became even more sarcastic.
I don’t know who is so impatient. If he is talented, it must be because of the Qilin Military Talisman.
After Chang'an walked away, the person on the tree suddenly fell to the ground, covering his knees with a painful look on his face, with confusion in his eyes.
Chang'an walked all the way to Biquan Temple in Ciyu Town.
Biquan Temple is located in Ciyu Town, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Shudu City.
Ciyu Town and the Imperial Palace are located on the same dragon vein. The Imperial Palace was built at the head of the dragon vein, and Ciyu Town is located at the tail of the dragon vein. To be more precise, the Biquan Temple in Ciyu Town is the true tail of the dragon vein.
Therefore, Biquan Temple is also a national temple.
Chang'an walked all the way to the main hall. The sound of wooden fish made people's hearts inexplicably calm.
"Donor lady, it's been a long time since you came."
"The Buddha remains in my heart. Whether he comes or not makes no difference. It's just that I haven't seen him for many years, but he is still the same as before."
"Donor, you know that I want to atone for my sins."
"Master, this is serious."
"Does the donor still follow the old rules?"
"Thank you."
Chang'an felt that the voice was familiar, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Meng Sichan.
After the two talked for a few words, the old monk found a young monk and took Meng Sichan to the back of the hall.
Chang'an frowned slightly, and she became more certain of Meng Sichan's true identity.
"Now that you are here, you can put aside your doubts."
When he looked up, he saw the old monk who had just spoken to Meng Sichan approaching him. "I want to pray for the health and well-being of the elders in my family."
"Princess Hyun's filial piety is evident."
Chang An was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips again. "I've always known that Master Ciyun has the ability to judge people at a glance. It's true that seeing is believing."
"Princess Xuan, I am not worthy of your praise. I am just following the crowd and spreading rumors.
It is true that this old monk and Princess Xuan have never met each other. However, someone from the palace brought the portrait of Princess Xuan and the Ninth Prince's wife on their wedding day to Biquan Temple, and this old monk was fortunate enough to see it.
That’s why I recognized Princess Hyun at first sight.”
"Oh, so it's just a rumor." Chang'an nodded, understanding. "My mother is blind. Chang'an hopes that the Buddha can bless her and help her regain her sight."
"That's right." Master Ciyun smiled. "The rumor has harmed countless people. Princess Xuan has also suffered greatly because of it."
At this time, Wanxin walked in and handed the incense in her hand to Changan, "Miss."
