"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this bracelet? Could it be... an evil thing?" Seeing Yu Xiaotian's shocked expression, Hua Qingcheng's face suddenly darkened, and her worry was beyond words.
She stared closely at the three seemingly ordinary bracelets in Yu Xiaotian's hand, her eyes full of doubt and uneasiness. Could it be that these small bracelets really hid some unknown secret?
"Yes. But, they..." Yu Xiaotian nodded in affirmation, but then quickly shook his head, seeming hesitant. His eyes flickered, as if there was something difficult to say.
Seeing this, Hua Qingcheng grew increasingly anxious. She firmly grasped Yu Xiaotian's hand and said firmly, "Xiaotian, there's nothing unspeakable between you and me. Feel free to speak."
Yu Xiaotian felt the warmth coming from his palm, and his worries gradually dissipated. He took a deep breath, his eyes leisurely, and turned his head to look towards the direction of Lengyue Kingdom, northeast of Laifeng Kingdom.
Then he slowly spoke, "My dear wife, legend has it that there is a mysterious family in the Lengyue Kingdom. They possess two magical flutes, the 'Father Flute' and the 'Son Flute', which can control animals. These two treasures contain endless power and can establish a special connection between humans and animals..."
"However, it was precisely because this family possessed such mysterious and powerful power that it aroused the fear of the Gongyang Imperial Family. Ultimately, the then-Emperor of Lengyue, Gongyang Huaqian, ordered the extermination of the entire family to prevent future troubles."
Speaking of this, Yu Xiaotian's voice was slightly low, and seemed to carry a hint of grief and anger.
Hua Qingcheng listened quietly, her brows furrowed slightly, feeling deeply sorry for this tragic story. However, she wanted to know what connection this had with the bracelet in Yu Xiaotian's hand.
Facing Hua Qingcheng's fiery gaze, Yu Xiaotian finally realized he had strayed from the topic. His fair, handsome face flushed slightly, and then he heard him speak seriously, "After the demise of this mysterious family, the son's flute fell into the hands of the Leng family, a family of military commanders, while the father's flute belonged to the Gongyang royal family of Lengyue Kingdom. And this bracelet... is made by adding the tassels from the magic flute."
"Just like this gold-edged area, it's all mixed with the tassels of the Magic Flute." Yu Xiaotian added, pointing to the slightly gleaming spot on the bracelet.
"So, this bracelet is very precious, isn't it?" Hua Qingcheng said thoughtfully.
"Indeed," Yu Xiaotian nodded in response. "It's said that the tassel of this magic flute has a special name, called 'lucky rope'. It has magical powers. If it were made into a bracelet and worn on the body, it would be like having a talisman, protecting the wearer from evil spirits."
Hua Qingcheng was shocked. It turned out that this bracelet had such an extraordinary origin. She lowered her head and carefully examined the bracelet in her hand, as if she could feel the mysterious power flowing within it.
These three bracelets were given to her by Bai Yuheng, the painting teacher of the Imperial College. She had previously suspected that the masked man in black who helped her defeat the assassin in the training ground and fought off the wolf pack for her in the back mountain of the Imperial College was Bai Yuheng, but she had no conclusive evidence.
Now that she saw that the bracelet actually came from Lengyue Country, Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but once again doubt the relationship between Bai Yuheng and the black-clothed masked assassin, and she also had more speculations about Bai Yuheng's identity.
So... was Bai Yuheng a member of the Leng family, a military family of Lengyue Nation, or a member of the Gongyang royal family? Regardless of which one it was, it showed that his identity was far from simple, and he was very likely... a spy!
Thinking of this, Hua Qingcheng's eyes widened slightly, and her face became even more serious. She gently stroked the three bracelets in her hands, her eyes filled with a complicated expression, as if the bracelets had become a heavy burden, pressing down on her heart.
"My dear wife, who gave these three bracelets to me?" Yu Xiaotian looked at Hua Qingcheng, who was stunned and lost in thought, his heart filled with doubt. After all, anyone who could possess such a precious item as the Beast Taming Magic Flute Tassel must have an extraordinary background.
Worried that Yu Xiaotian might start imagining things, Hua Qingcheng quickly replied, "This is a friend of mine from the Imperial College. I stumbled upon this from a traveling merchant. She heard Longlong and Fengfeng were about to turn one month old, so she gave it to me as a gift."
"I see." Yu Xiaotian nodded to show his understanding.
Hua Qingcheng put the bracelet back into the small wooden box and asked casually, "So... so, wearing these specially made bracelets with 'lucky charms' should be beneficial, right?"
Yu Xiaotian nodded again and replied, "As far as I know, that's indeed the case."
Hua Qingcheng placed the small wooden box containing the three bracelets on the dressing table beside the bed, then turned to Xiaotian and said, "Xiaotiantian, it's getting late. We should go to bed early."
Then, Hua Qingcheng carefully tucked in the quilt for Yu Xiaotian and gently blew out the candle in the room. After doing this, she gently lifted a corner of the quilt, slipped into the bed with extremely gentle movements, and slowly stretched out her arms to hold Yu Xiaotian tightly in her arms.
At this time, Yu Xiaotian had been pregnant for just over a month, and the fetus in his belly was not yet stable. Therefore, Hua Qingcheng was very cautious. Apart from gentle kisses and tight hugs, she did not dare to do anything beyond the rules, for fear of hurting the delicate baby in his belly.
Yu Xiaotian, who was cared for by Hua Qingcheng in this way, fell into a deep sleep in less than a cup of tea, with a happy and satisfied smile on his lips.
However, Hua Qingcheng was not sleepy at all at this moment. She kept thinking about Bai Yuheng's true identity in her mind.
Although Yu Xiaotian claimed that these bracelets had the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting the body, Hua Qingcheng would never rashly let her two children wear them before finding out the truth.
