Chapter 568: Weird Luck
Yun Qingqing returned to her own courtyard in the palace.
The servants in the palace worked quickly and cleaned up all the corpses and bloodstains in the yard.
She returned to her room and found the letter paper she had intended to write on the table. However, because she was interrupted by the assassin's incident, there was an ink stain on the paper.
The ink on the side has dried up.
Yun Qingqing stared at the ink stain on the paper for a while, reached out to throw the pen into the pen wash, and spread out a new piece of letter paper.
I didn’t know what to write at first, but that doesn’t matter anymore.
She picked up her pen again and wrote concisely about the assassination in the palace, as well as the confrontation in the palace and the fact that the queen was the mastermind behind the scenes.
After finishing the letter in one breath, she folded the thin piece of paper, put it into a small bamboo tube, sealed it, and sent a carrier pigeon to deliver the letter to the northern border.
After finishing all this, Yun Qingqing sat back in her chair and slowly exhaled.
She knew that the servants in the mansion would report the assassin's matter to their master immediately, but she still wanted to send another letter home.
Before the Chinese New Year, she promised Xiao Changheng that she would wait until after the New Year to take action against the Queen. Unexpectedly, the Queen took the initiative and killed herself. Now she is imprisoned in the palace, waiting to die quietly after the first month of the year.
This letter can be regarded as an explanation to Xiao Changheng.
The following days were very peaceful, but Yun Qingqing was very busy.
She first went back to her parents' home to stay with her mother and grandfather for two days. Ever since the second branch of the family was kicked out, the Marquis' Mansion had become much quieter and was now prosperous and peaceful.
She went to visit her grandparents' home with Yan Jinghua again. Now Yun Qingqing's aunt Yan Yuzhu has taken over part of the Yan family's business and is doing a thriving business.
Yan Yuzhu's scumbag ex-husband Wu Yuan attempted murder and was sentenced to exile to the frontier. The Yan family is wealthy and powerful, and Yan Yuzhu is young and beautiful, so even though they had divorced once, matchmakers still came knocking on her door in the past few months.
But Yan Yuzhu was now fully focused on her career, and no matter how the matchmakers talked, she was completely unmoved. In the end, she simply gave an order, strictly forbidding matchmakers from entering the house.
Grandfather Yan Hongshan was not a pedantic person. Seeing that he could not persuade her, he gave up and said frankly that not only would the Yan family's property be more than his daughter could squander in her lifetime, but just based on his ability to make money, he would not starve.
Yun Qingqing brought precious tonics and talismans as gifts for the elders to increase their blessings, longevity, and protect peace in the home.
My grandfather and aunt were also very unambiguous. They stuffed the deeds to various gold, silver and jewelry shops in front of me and refused to let me refuse.
Before leaving, Yun Qingqing pulled her aunt over and handed her a list with several medicinal herbs on it.
Yan Yuzhu was confused:
"These are all common medicinal herbs. You can buy them at any pharmacy. If you need a large quantity, you can also go to our Yan family's pharmacy."
Yun Qingqing shook her head:
"not enough."
"Ah?" Yan Yuzhu was even more confused.
Yun Qingqing looked at her seriously and said:
"Aunt, if you ask your pharmacy to stock up on these medicines in the next few months, they will be needed soon and can save many lives."
Yan Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and her expression became serious:
"I see."
She was in charge of Yan's pharmacy, and it was no longer a secret that Yun Qingqing was the head of Tianming Pavilion. Yan Yuzhu chose to believe it without hesitation.
After the visit, Yun Qingqing rushed around among the various forces under her command, sending out a large number of skills, talismans, and formations.
The Seven Star Hall, the Tianxuan Sect, the Medical Immortal Valley, and the White Crane Ridge.
There are a total of thirty-five sects in Baiheling, and the Shuihua Sect is now the leader. The leaders of each sect simply gathered in the Shuihua Sect to pay homage to the chief sect leader and held a banquet.
After finishing all these, Yun Qingqing arrived at Zhiluo Mountain, where a large number of mountain spirits and monsters had already gathered and were waiting.
Zhiluo brought her to a secluded valley that she had chosen earlier:
"How about finding the place for observing the eight directions of qi according to your request?"
Yun Qingqing nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good, just what I want."
She ordered all the mountain goblins and monsters to retreat several miles away and spent five days and five nights transforming the valley. Only after the transformation was completed did she call the goblins and monsters back.
When the monsters passed through the thick fog and entered the valley, they were stunned by the scene before them.
There are spiritual plants everywhere here, and the air is full of spiritual energy. It is really a rare paradise!
In this world today, all the better blessed places are occupied by immortal cultivation sects, and the space for monsters to practice cultivation is extremely limited.
This valley right now is considered top-notch even among the blessed places, and it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of monsters.
This is Yun Qingqing's return gift to the demons for working together to summon the Emperor Liujing for her.
The valley is isolated from the world, and the thick fog at the entrance is not for show. Only those who hold the "key" can enter. Otherwise, no matter how far you go, you will only end up outside the valley.
Yun Qingqing gave a "key" to each demon who participated in the Banquet of a Hundred Demons. It was a nameplate engraved with intricate patterns.
Thousands of wild monsters were in disbelief at first, and then fell into a frenzy.
Only two people seemed less happy.
Yun Qingqing left the jubilant monsters in the valley behind and returned to the valley entrance through the thick fog. Zhiluo was leaning against the mountain wall with her arms folded, waiting.
"Even if you promised them a return gift, there's no need to be so exaggerated, right? Now look what's happening. Is the spiritual energy you've accumulated after the breakthrough about to be used up?" Zhiluo's tone was cold.
Youya sat on a tree, swinging his short legs, and nodded in agreement:
"There's no need for you to do this, Pavilion Master."
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"Spiritual power can be accumulated after it is used up, but the Hundred Demons Banquet may not succeed once in thousands of years. It's worth it."
Zhiluo was speechless.
Yun Qingqing threw another scroll to Youya:
"You have now successfully cultivated your body. Your physique far surpasses that of human cultivators, and is also different from that of demons. This is a cultivation method suitable for your physique. It is a return gift for your help at the last festival."
Youya took the scroll with some surprise. After opening it for a moment, his eyes lit up. He jumped down from the tree and bowed solemnly to Yun Qingqing:
"Thank you very much."
After settling all parties, the first half of the first lunar month had already passed and the Lantern Festival was just around the corner.
Yun Qingqing finally returned to the imperial capital and came to Tianming Pavilion.
During the Chinese New Year, Tianming Pavilion was closed until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Yun Qingqing had already sent Qiao'er to Tianming Pavilion to help out as she had planned to be in seclusion during the Chinese New Year. She simply spent the New Year here.
Qiao Er never thought that she hadn't seen her young lady for half a month. She came over with a wronged look on her face:
"Miss...you didn't let me go back for so long, I thought you didn't want me anymore..."
Yun Qingqing laughed and ruffled her hair:
"What are you thinking about? I'm worried that the house will be too quiet and you'll feel bad. Don't you like the hustle and bustle of the New Year the most?"
As she spoke, she took out a set of jewelry from the Yan family's Treasure Pavilion and gave it to Qiao'er as a New Year's gift.
Qiao'er's eyes lit up, she burst into laughter and took Yun Qingqing's arm:
"Miss is still the best~!"
The doorbell rang, and a red shadow rushed towards Yun Qingqing, and landed on her thigh with a "pa" sound.
"Father Xi~~~~! You haven't paid attention to the Yin family for a long time~~! Father Xi doesn't want a disciple anymore?"
Yun Qingqing lifted Su Tongyun by the back of her collar, held her in his arms, and thought about her for a moment, then twitched the corner of his mouth:
"Tongtong, how many meals do you eat a day? You've gained so much weight in a few days."
Su Anrong who came later smiled helplessly:
"This girl's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. A little kid eats more than several adults. Master, do you think she's okay?"
This is also what is strange about Su Anrong. At first, she didn't dare let her daughter eat so much, but this little kid always has a way. Even if it makes a mess, she will secretly add more food for herself.
But no matter how much she eats, she never feels uncomfortable. The doctor who examined her said that Tongtong is growing well and has not had any stomach problems.
Yun Qingqing smiled and reassured her:
"Don't worry, it's normal for Tongtong to eat more. She won't make anyone sick."
Su Anrong didn't understand, but she believed Yun Qingqing's words without a doubt.
Yun Qingqing said this because she was sure of herself.
This kid is half Taotie, so he is a foodie.
As they walked upstairs, talking and laughing, Tongtong suddenly hugged Yun Qingqing's neck and whispered in her ear:
"Father Xi~, far, far away over there, the aura has become so strange..."
Yun Qingqing looked at the direction of her finger and her expression paused.
The little divine beast was pointing to the north.
