Chapter 70: Goodbye, Prince Rui



The fact that Prince Rui and his wife could come out freely was indeed related to the damage of the Bai family's fortune-changing formation.

Back then, Emperor Feng Zheng was so jealous of the deposed prince's fortune that he went crazy. He teamed up with State Master Bai to exterminate the deposed prince's lineage, and later tried every possible way to steal the deposed prince's lineage's fortune.

State Preceptor Bai's alliance with Emperor Feng Zheng clearly showed he wasn't a gentleman. He had indeed helped Emperor Feng Zheng seize the fortune of the deposed Crown Prince's lineage, but he hadn't helped him eliminate the consequences and had even smuggled some of that fortune into the Bai family. Unexpectedly, Bai Luosang and his lineage learned of this and sabotaged it, causing a flaw in the once-powerful fortune-transfer formation.

In the end, Master Bai was silenced by Emperor Feng Zheng. Fearing the backlash of evil power, Emperor Feng Zheng even buried Master Bai's ashes not far from Prince Rui's tomb. Worried that outsiders would know about it, he did not allow the Bai family to erect a monument.

Hearing this, Shi Liu suddenly remembered the desolate tomb where she had inherited the divine statue. That desolate tomb was the burial site of the renowned Imperial Master! Shi Liu couldn't express her feelings. Emperor Feng Zheng had plotted to depose the Crown Prince, thus ending his family line, and in the end, he himself had also become extinct. Imperial Master Bai, who had pursued a higher realm, died young, leaving the Bai family in even greater misery.

Cause and effect will always come back to haunt you!

Shi Liu took a deep breath and secretly warned herself not to learn from those two people who acted recklessly just because they had the ability.

"Master Feng, can the other ghosts in the cemetery be reincarnated now?" When Shi Liu thought of the souls that had been imprisoned in the cemetery for thousands of years, he felt that Feng Zhengdi and his son had committed a sin.

"Once the formation is broken, I intend to send them to reincarnate in Hell. They've been imprisoned here for years, and the world outside is ever-changing. They're all very curious, so they decided to wander around this world before reincarnating. Don't worry, the underworld has rules that limit their stay here to a maximum of one hundred days, so let them enjoy themselves for a hundred days."

"Ahem, you should burn some incense for each of them. Their souls have been damaged to some extent due to the suppression over the years. If they are not repaired, they will probably have a hard time in the afterlife." Those who were buried here by the new emperor were all staunch supporters of the prince's lineage. Prince Rui really didn't want to see them suffer in the afterlife.

Although Shi Liu wasn't familiar with most of the ghosts, she could still afford to offer some incense for the sake of her four masters. However, the raw materials sold in the Yin-Yang Pavilion were really expensive. It seemed that she needed to quickly tidy up the small garden. She didn't want to waste any more money. The statue only had one chance left to be passed down, and burning incense would only bring good fortune.

"No problem. Master Feng, how many people are there in total? Is ten incense sticks enough for each person?"

"A total of eighty-one people were forced to be buried with the deceased. However, Nanny Wang and Yue Shi do not want to be reincarnated at the moment." Ten incense sticks per person. His apprentice was really generous. The little girl was not so generous when she burned incense for him last time. Prince Rui did not admit that he was jealous.

"Yuezhi?" Shi Liu heard the fragrance of "melon" from Prince Rui's helpless tone.

Princess Rui quickly took over the conversation and said, "Yueshi is also a miserable person. She was the woman arranged by Emperor Feng Zheng to seduce her husband, of course, but... alas, Yueshi loved Emperor Feng Zheng and naturally didn't want to commit herself to anyone else. In the end, he naturally gave up on her. I don't know what Emperor Feng Zheng was thinking, but he actually buried Yueshi with him. Yueshi is unwilling to accept this and is full of resentment. If it weren't for the formation suppressing her, she would definitely have returned to seek revenge on Emperor Feng Zheng years ago."

"Yue Shi was a dancer from the Western Regions. She was a brilliant dancer. After her death, she turned into a ghost. She practiced dancing day and night, and her dancing skills have reached the pinnacle. Over the years, Emperor Feng Zheng has long since turned to ash, and Yue Shi no longer has any feelings for him. She wants to find an heir, a disciple who loves dancing. She wants people to know that dancing skills are not lowly."

To be honest, no woman wants to share her husband with other women. Princess Rui had a very bad impression of Yueshi at the beginning, but fortunately her husband was devoted to her. Later, she realized that Yueshi was also a poor woman who was being used, so she did not deliberately make things difficult for her. Perhaps it was this attitude of hers that made Emperor Fengzheng mistakenly believe that Yueshi had betrayed him, and finally he buried Yueshi with him.

Princess Rui couldn't explain how she felt about Yuezhi, but she undoubtedly hoped that she could be reincarnated as soon as possible.

Shi Liu nodded in understanding, and she said that Princess Rui did not seem like a saint, and there was indeed something behind this.

"I never thought dancers were inferior. That's just a fallacy held by mediocre people. In the past twenty or thirty years, dancers as great as Master Yue would have been worshipped. The fact that I have the opportunity to learn from Master Yue is my good fortune."

"Do you really think so? Will it really be like this in twenty or thirty years?" Yuezhi appeared behind Shiliu at some point.

"Master Yue, I swear that everything I said is true. You are really amazing."

Feeling Shi Liu's heartfelt admiration, Yue Shi lowered her head. Dancers were the lowest status in the Tianfeng Dynasty, but now there was a little girl who admired her from the bottom of her heart.

Yue Shi couldn't explain what she felt for a moment. The reason she didn't want to reincarnate was, on the one hand, that she didn't want her abilities to be passed down to no one, and on the other hand, she was also disappointed with the world.

However, she thought she might be able to truly "dance" for a while: "Pomegranate, from today on, I will strictly require you. When you meet the assessment standards, I will choose to reincarnate!"

Shi Liu: "..." Master Yue, how dare I not practice dancing well after you said that? Now she is somewhat glad that she has a good talent for dancing, otherwise Master Yue might not be able to reincarnate in this life.

Yuezhi didn't even wait for Shiliu to answer the question, and flew directly back to the tomb to prepare for the evening training session.

After a while, Nanny Wang also came out: "Girl, I want to wait until the master is reincarnated before leaving." The young master had a miserable life. He was abandoned by his family and was sent to Prince Rui's Mansion as a pawn in order to please the new emperor.

"Then you might as well reincarnate now, maybe you can even become the biological mother of your master's wife." Shi Liu was not talking nonsense, she really felt that her talent in embroidery was extremely poor, and it would be good enough if she could become a master after spending ten or twenty years.

Princess Rui didn't want Nanny to waste her time here. As for Shi Liu's talent for embroidery, she felt that her apprentice might be a little ignorant of her. If she was considered untalented, then what about someone who would never be able to get started in her life? Wasn't that considered being naive and unaware? She didn't think she could be Nanny Wang's mother and daughter in her next life, but she thought they would be sisters.

"Mammy, you better reincarnate soon. Maybe this girl will become a disciple soon."

Listening to the young master's playful banter, Nanny Wang's stern face broke into a smile: "Okay, I will reincarnate as soon as possible." Turning to look at Shi Liu, Nanny Wang took out a book and handed it to Shi Liu, "Consider this book my gift to you for your graduation."

Shi Liu took it and saw that it was actually a wine-making secret book. She was surprised and delighted at the same time. "Thank you, Nanny Wang."

"Alas, this secret manual was passed down from our Wang family's ancestors. Unfortunately, my father had no sons, so it was lost in my family. You should study it carefully. I remember that the wine my father brewed was delicious, and many people came to visit because of his reputation." (End of this chapter)
