Chapter 129 I thought he was a top romantic
Gu Chenran also realized that he was a little too anxious, so he took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Everyone is right, I was too anxious. The most important thing now is to gather all the magic tools and set up a magic formation to take out the evil heart in my body."
Grandfather nodded: "That's right, first of all, we can't be controlled by others, we must take the initiative first. By the way, how is the progress of collecting magic tools now?
I remember that among the things you need is a thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood, and it has to be a hundred-year-old peach wood that has been struck by lightning.
According to recent investigations, it seems that only Concubine Hua has one of these thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood. Her father and brother gave it to her when she was 15 years old to ward off evil spirits.
Other magic tools are easy to get, maybe they can be exchanged by using connections, selling favors, or offering something of equivalent value, but this Concubine Hua is the biological mother of the King of Qi, she is powerful and has a prominent family background. If you want the lightning wood in her collection,
It’s not a simple matter…”
This is indeed the most difficult and hardest to obtain among several magical weapons with traces, and it is also the one that everyone is most worried about.
Gu Chenran said: "Don't worry about this. If you can't get it now, just put it aside. The King of Qi is mediocre. Even if Concubine Hua is a powerful woman, she will never be able to achieve anything.
You can be patient and wait until my grandfather and uncles return to the court. After I consolidate my power in the court and compete with them, I can exchange some power and benefits in the court for them. ”
The second uncle, who was the most rigorous and good at planning, hesitated for a moment and said, "That will indeed take time. Moreover, with Concubine Hua's shrewd character, she will not give up until she has bitten off a piece of meat from you by then. I guess you will have to pay a huge price."
The expressions on everyone's faces were serious, as if they were about to face a tough battle that would have to be fought in the future.
Wen Ling, who was gnawing on a rabbit leg, suddenly raised her hand after they finished their discussion: "Well, I don't think it's necessary to go to such trouble. Concubine Hua may come to see me soon."
Gu Chenran and his grandfather then all focused their attention on Wen Ling.
Gu Chenran asked: "Did something happen again?"
Wen Ling swallowed the last piece of rabbit meat in his mouth and took a sip of the refreshing fruit wine. Only then did he feel refreshed and satisfied.
She said in a good mood: "Yes, remember how the Prince of Qi was so abnormally disobedient to the Emperor and Concubine Hua just to protect that stupid and bad Wen Yao? Is the Prince of Qi really deeply in love with Wen Yao, and loves Wen Yao so much that he is willing to sacrifice himself and completely disregard the consequences?"
Everyone opened their eyes wide and blinked, and their looks seemed to be saying, isn't that the case?
Wen Ling: "...No, no matter how mediocre the King of Qi is, he shouldn't be so confused at the critical moment. How stupid is he in your eyes?"
Everyone coughed lightly out of embarrassment, and the eldest uncle said, "I'm sorry, because in almost every dynasty and generation in the royal family, there are a few top-level romantic men like this, so we all thought that the King of Qi's hidden bloodline awakened after he reached old age."
Wen Ling really didn't know that such a thing existed.
It seems that the old saying among modern people that the purest romantic people in the world can only be found in the truly top-notch wealthy and powerful families is actually true.
Gu Chenran had already guessed: "So what you mean is that the King of Qi doesn't really like Wen Yao so much and that's why he protects her so much. He is being controlled by Wen Yao?"
Wen Ling snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, it is just as you said. I saw black air on the King of Qi. The black air spread and enveloped him, and there was a black line connecting the black air to the palm of Wen Yao's hand.
I didn't look closely at the details, and I didn't have the chance to get close, but it was almost certain that the King of Qi was controlled by Wen Yao's magic.
With Wen Yao's greedy and demanding personality, she will never be satisfied. How could she stop? She will definitely control the King of Qi even more in the future.
Calculating the time, it should be these few days. Concubine Hua should come to see me soon.
At that time, I won't blackmail her or make things difficult for her. I just want her thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood. This should be reasonable, right? ”
No matter how precious the thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood is, it is just a material thing. Compared with her son, her son is naturally more precious.
Gu Chenran and the Wang family said in unison: "It's reasonable, it's too reasonable."
It was already midnight when the matter at my grandparents' house was resolved.
But they kept eating barbecue and drinking, and didn't feel very tired.
When Wen Ling was leaving, she remembered what she had forgotten today.
She asked her grandfather, "I heard that after Chen Ran's mother recognized her as her grandmother's relative, she seemed to have lived in your house for about a month before marrying into the palace. Do you still have the courtyard where Chen Ran's mother lived before?"
Gu Chenran's mother is the saint of Yuejian Country. Yuejian Country is a very mysterious country. Wen Ling investigated and found out that it is one of the few countries where theocracy is greater than imperial power. Various witchcraft techniques are prevalent. The things that their country has worshipped and worshipped for generations are also very mysterious and strange. Only their own people know what gods they worship, and outsiders don't know.
After knowing this, Wen Ling always felt that Gu Chenran would be chosen as a substitute for Lord of the World. In other words, to be the incubator for Lord of the World's heart, which was closely related to the Yuejian Kingdom.
There is very little information about Tsukimi-kuni, and the information that can be found is of little reference value.
So Wen Ling thought, since Gu Chenran's mother was the Holy Maiden of Yuejian Country, she might be holding all the secrets unknown to outsiders.
Unfortunately, after her death, the Yueqing Palace where Gu Chenran's mother lived in the imperial palace was locked up by the heartbroken emperor. Except for the palace maids who went in to clean regularly, no one else was allowed to enter and there were special people guarding it.
If you really want to get in, you can sneak in, but it's a bit troublesome. If you are discovered, it may not end well.
And the grandmother must be the person that Gu Chenren’s mother trusts the most in the Great Yong Kingdom. She might have left some secrets in the Wang family’s residence.
Wen Ling just wanted to check it out.
As soon as she gave a rough outline of her thoughts, her grandfather understood immediately.
He said directly, "Of course we have kept the courtyard where Chen Ran's mother lived. We have kept it the way it was before she entered the palace. Nothing has been moved. Chen Ran is her biological son. If you want to check it out, you can check it out anytime.
Do I need to go over and see it now? ”
Wen Ling looked up at the night sky and said, "Forget it. It's too late now. It's hard to find things in the dark. If I look for it now, I might miss some important clues. I'll find a time to come here during the day some other day."
"Okay, if you need anything, just come over. No need to call in advance. Coming to grandpa's house is just like coming home." Grandfather said with a smile.
Gu Chenran, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but complain: "Grandfather, you never told me this."
Facing this little nephew whom he loved the most in the past, the grandfather could hardly control the disgust on his face: "You are a grown man, and a prince, don't you have a family? Our A Ling is a girl, and her family is so unreliable. If our grandparents don't support her, who else will support her?"
Gu Chenran: “…”
I feel like the feelings have faded and I won't love again.
