Chapter 415 Important Mission
At this moment, Yun Qingqing looked at the pure white jade-like branches and leaves again, and suddenly understood where the familiar feeling just now came from.
Hao Qing reminded her of the scenery in the deepest part of Xiao Changheng's consciousness, the pure and clear jade tree growing on the edge of the cliff.
Xiao Changheng noticed her gaze, raised his eyes and looked over, the expression in his eyes faded, and he calmly stretched out his arms towards her:
"It seems that I can't take it off. Princess, do you have any ideas?"
Yun Qingqing withdrew her thoughts and nodded lightly:
"Since it has recognized you as its master, then keep it. There's no harm in it."
Xiao Changheng nodded and thanked Master Jingyuan.
The two men said goodbye to the abbot and left the back hall, only to see Taoist Master Qingpingzi waiting on the road.
He immediately came forward when he saw Yun Qingqing:
"Princess Regent, when can we leave?"
Yun Qingqing pondered for a moment:
"I need to take care of some things first. Let's leave early the day after tomorrow."
"Okay! It's settled then." Qingpingzi finally got the definite answer and felt relieved.
"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow."
Yun Qingqing always felt that this person's attitude was much more attentive than before.
On the way down the mountain, she couldn't help but lift up her sleeves again and take a look at the pale pink butterfly mark on her wrist.
"Master!" A familiar voice sounded from the front.
Yun Qingqing looked up and found Ye Zhishen coming towards her. Beside him were Lord Ye, his wife, and his sister Ye Zhijin.
The family of Marquis Zhongyong was all gathered together, obviously waiting for her. She greeted them with a calm smile.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Regent and Her Majesty the Princess!" The old marquis and his family bowed respectfully.
Xiao Changheng knew something about Ye Xingyu and had guessed that they were looking for Yun Qingqing. He nodded slightly and left the space for conversation to them.
"I have long wanted to thank the princess in person, but you have not been at home recently." The old marquis said sincerely.
Yun Qingqing smiled and nodded:
"You all know about Xiaoyu'er's matter?"
Lord Ye nodded:
"My whole family received a dream from Yu'er at the same time, saying that she was adopted by the Ghost King and is now registered in the underworld. She can grow up like a normal person and can choose her future reincarnation."
Madam Ye wiped her eyes and said with relief:
"It's all thanks to you, Princess, that I have the chance to see Yu'er grow up. Thank you, Princess!"
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly:
"You're welcome. This is Xiao Yu'er's own opportunity. I would also like to thank the Marquis for speaking up for me today."
Lord Ye waved his hand:
"As you should! Princess, if you need anything from me in the future, just let me know. I will do my best!"
"Okay, if I need anything in the future, I will definitely ask the Marquis for help." Yun Qingqing agreed with a smile and was about to leave when she suddenly looked at Ye Zhijin twice.
Ye Zhijin was startled by her gaze, and then approached her attentively:
"Master, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me? Am I possessed by something?"
Her eyes were sparkling, not worried at all. Instead, she looked like she was looking forward to taking action. Yun Qingqing couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not that serious. I just see that your Qi and blood have been weak recently, making it easy for Yin objects to take advantage of you. Have you been sleeping poorly these past few nights?"
"That's right! Master, you're truly amazing!" Ye Zhijin nodded like a chicken, "Then please help me, what should I do?"
Yun Qingqing handed her a talisman:
"Put this on the headboard of your bed to ensure a peaceful night. Also, get more sun for the next month and try not to walk at night. If you must go out at night, have your brother accompany you."
"Got it! Thank you, Master~!" Ye Zhijin treasured the talisman and put it in his arms.
After saying goodbye, Yun Qingqing and Xiao Changheng got on the carriage for the return journey.
The two remained silent along the way. When Xiao Changheng closed his eyes to rest, Yun Qingqing looked at him a few more times.
This person has no roots for cultivation, but he can be recognized as the master by a magic weapon like Haoqing. It is very strange.
Yun Qingqing summoned Xue Ling and held it in her hand, trying to communicate with the spirit of the weapon, but found that it had only woken up briefly before and was now asleep again, and had no response to her summons.
She had no choice but to put Xue Ling away and plan to talk about it later.
Her gaze fell on Xiao Changheng again, and her eyes slowly moved from his clear and cold face to his wrist.
Although her sleeves were blocking her view, her eyes could easily see the faint spiritual energy emanating from Hao Qing.
Yun Qingqing looked at him quietly, frowning slightly.
All the strange things about him seemed to finally fall into one place - the jade tree in the deepest part of his consciousness.
She had a hunch that if she knew what the tree was and where it existed, perhaps all the mysteries could be solved.
"Is there something?" Xiao Changheng's voice suddenly sounded faintly, bringing her back to her senses.
Only then did she notice that he had opened his eyes at some point, and his deep black pupils were looking at her quietly.
Yun Qingqing retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes and nodded:
"Thank you for today."
Xiao Changheng raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Thank me for what?"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyes to look at him, but did not answer him directly. Instead, she asked:
"Instead of pleading for the Crown Prince, you petitioned the Emperor to depose him. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will be displeased?"
Xiao Changheng's expression was slightly cold:
"I didn't touch him before, not only because of my brother's kindness, but also because although he had no achievements, at least apart from the military rations case, he didn't reveal any other faults."
"But if he was also the mastermind behind the illegal gun factory case, then he was never fit to be the crown prince from the beginning!"
"I insisted on deposing the crown prince today, also for my royal brother."
Yun Qingqing knew that what he said made sense, but after hearing what he said, the vague irritation in her heart did not ease.
She took a deep breath and nodded.
"When we get back to the palace, come to my courtyard. I have something for you."
Xiao Changheng was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows slightly:
"What is it?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Yun Qingqing replied lightly, then leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
"Oh, okay." Xiao Changheng didn't look at her much, and responded lightly, and the carriage returned to silence.
…
The other side.
Taoist Qingpingzi said goodbye to Master Jingyuan and took Cangqi down the mountain.
On the way, Cang Qi was in a relaxed mood and said:
"Master, when Yun Qingqing is free the day after tomorrow, can we go back to the sect?"
Qingpingzi glanced at him:
"Master will take Yun Qingqing back. You stay here and continue to be a good imperial teacher."
"...Ah?" Cang Qi was stunned for a moment, his mood suddenly soured. "Master, can't I go back with you? Today we helped Yun Qingqing defeat the crown prince. Cang Rong's karma should be almost resolved, right? Why do you want me to stay here?"
Qingpingzi glanced at him calmly:
"Master wants you to stay, but I have an important mission."
Cang Qi immediately cheered up:
"What mission? Master, please give me your orders!"
