The qilin ran away? Feng Ye was stunned.
Since the Qilin was invited back from the mountain last year, royal father had specially built a beast garden to raise it, as if it was a god.
Why did he suddenly run away?
Feng Ye's eyes focused as he quickly walked in the direction of the Beast Master Garden. When he arrived, he saw the gate open and the Qilin gone. Zhou Cheng Di sat on the palanquin with a heavy expression, and behind him were the frightened servants.
He quickly walked over and knelt on one knee as he said, "This son greets father. Father, don't be anxious. The qilin is a spirit beast, and father is the Son of Heaven. He will definitely not leave the palace.
Zhou Cheng Di sighed and said, "This is a revelation from heaven. It seems that I had underestimated Daoist Master Xuan Wei's warning. A qilin ran away from me alive."
Back then, Daoist Master Xuanwei had said that if one didn't put aside the inappropriate thoughts in one's heart, ten days would be enough for a calamity to befall them. After that day, the empress dowager slipped and fell by accident.
"What?" this son doesn't understand what royal father means? " A hint of doubt appeared in Feng Ye's eyes. He did not know about the conversation between Daoist Master Xuanwei and Zhou Cheng Di.
"Ye'er, you've come at the right time. Quickly go and find the qilin for me. When the qilin is found again, I will enter closed-door training to pray and reflect on my actions." After giving Feng Ye his instructions, Emperor Zhou Cheng ordered people to carry the palanquin and leave the Beast Controlling Garden.
Feng Ye stood in place for a moment. His heart was filled with doubt, and then he hurriedly went to look for the qilin.
The sudden departure of the Qilin shocked the other ministers in the palace. A group of officials from the Hall of Political and Martial Arts also came out to search for the whereabouts of the qilin, but in the evening, they still couldn't find the whereabouts of the qilin. The ministers had to leave the palace first.
"Lord Lian Xiang, Lian Zhaoyi invites you over."
"Eunuch, lead the way." Lian Yanqing did not stop for a moment and immediately went to Yi Xiu Palace. The moment he entered, he saw Lian Zhaoyi sitting solemnly in the hall, waiting for him. He took three steps forward and said:
"Your Highness."
"Big brother …" Lian Zhaoyi slowly raised his head. His eyes were somewhat dark and gloomy, and his face was no longer as radiant as before.
Truly, the present was different from the past. In the palace, the thing that was most indispensable was the ten years of reversal between the river and the river.
"Why has the Empress summoned me so urgently?" Lian Yanqing asked.
Just now, the Emperor sent me to the Hall of Rongyuan and said something to me. He asked me if the moon was about to reach the prime of its age and told me to watch out for suitable candidates. When the time came, he would give the moon a marriage. Lian Zhaoyi recalled the Emperor's words and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Lian Yan Qing was shocked as he hurriedly asked, "Does Your Majesty really say that?"
Lian Zhaoyi nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. It seems that because of the boat capsized a few days ago, the emperor no longer intends to summon Yue'er to the palace. This means that Big Brother and I will also give up on this idea."
Lian Yan Qing's heart shook as he said, "This plan really can't keep up with the changes. A few days ago, he was still thinking about how to protect the Emperor's interest in Yue'er. But now, it has all gone down the drain."
"Big brother …" Lian Zhaoyi recalled Lian Yue's ice-cold and terrifying appearance that day and felt a chill in his heart. He said, "His Majesty said that everything was fated by the heavens. He told us not to think any further."
"Heaven's will is mischievous. Yue Er doesn't have such a life, so just drop it." Lian Yanqing sighed and said.
"Big brother …" Lian Zhao Yi paused and asked, "Do you think Yue Er's heart is in the Lian Family?"
"Of course, she is the Lian Family's direct daughter. She will definitely support the Lian Family in everything." Lian Yan Qing firmly believed in this. "Why does the Empress ask this?"
"Oh, no, I'm just asking. She's a member of the Lian family, so her heart will naturally be on the Lian family. That's right." Lian Zhaoyi's heart trembled. Now, after experiencing such a huge change, her actions had become even more cautious. In her mind —
Lian Ru Yue, her niece, was still an unsolved mystery. Before the truth was revealed, she wouldn't act rashly. She could just quietly observe from the side.
The qilin was finally found by eighth prince Feng Ye at noon the next day and was then sent back to the Beast Garden. Emperor Zhou Cheng kept his promise to the heavens, recuperating from his injuries while he recuperated and ate his vegetarian prayers.
At this point, the matter of Zhou Chengdi summoning Moon into the palace finally came to an end. He would never have that thought again.
"This time, I really have to thank Daoist Master Xuanwei for his help." The corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile. Only by turning his royal father's thoughts towards Yue'er into nothingness, would he be able to stop his thoughts and protect Yue'er's reputation, and not affect his plans for Yue'er in the future.
"Actually, all of this wasn't the work of a single person. This Penniless Priest was indeed responding to the will of heaven and made this choice in advance for the emperor; if the emperor really wanted this woman to enter the palace, then he would have definitely caused her many calamities. As a result, this woman's fate is extremely hard. And the decision made in advance just happens to fit the wishes of the Ninth Prince. "
"Is there really such a heaven's will?" Feng Yunzheng withdrew his distant gaze and asked.
The corner of his mouth revealed a mysterious and distant smile as he said, "Everything in the world is destined for heaven. The ninth prince has the will of heaven from the ninth prince, even the eldest miss has the will of heaven from the Lian family's eldest daughter, and the fourth prince has the will of heaven from the fourth prince."
"But This King does not think so. This King believes in another line. My life is not up to the Heavens." Feng Yunzheng said.
"Hahahahaha …" Adept Xuanwei didn't say anything else. He raised his head and laughed loudly, then turned and walked towards the Heavenly Palace. His laughter was deep and profound, resounding through the skies.
Feng Yunzheng looked at the immortal figure's back as the expression on his face became even more certain of his opinion.
In his previous life, he gave fate to both Yue'er and him, and in this life, he would never allow such a tragedy to happen again.
After leaving the heavenly palace, Feng Yunzheng's expression slowly relaxed. His face finally revealed the most relaxed smile of the past few days. This smile was like a blossoming flower that spread across the entire mountain —
This smile was precisely caught by the night wind. He once again forgot the difference in status as he stood at the side, sneakily looking at his master and saying:
"Your highness is now able to work for Eldest Miss again like before, isn't this extremely happy?"
The smile on Feng Yunzheng's face became even more pronounced. He took the jade pendant that Lian Ruyue had given him and gently stroked it with his hand. "I can't wait."
