When the water light disappeared, the world seemed to darken even more. Gu Qingli could only continue to wander through the chaotic fog, but she didn't know when it would end.
After an unknown period of time, she once again saw that gush of light like the moonlight. This time, it was much clearer than before. She could even see the source of the light and couldn't help but look back.
Many wandering souls felt this phenomenon as well as she did and looked over.
The world seemed borderless to them. No matter how much they wandered, they could not find anything that could form a boundary. However, when they looked up, they seemed to see the edge of the world.
Gu Qing Li looked over, and outside the swaying arc of light, there seemed to be something strange.
It was like a half-opened eye, incomparably huge, like a god. The corners of its eyes were hooked, and its tail was raised. Its pupils emitted a cold intent as they mercilessly sized up this void world.
There was a slight uproar in the cold world. There were even many wandering souls who began to kneel down and worship it, devoutly praying to the heavens to use the eye that covered the entire sky as a god.
There were those who were praying for their return to life, those who were praying for a good birth in the next life, and those who only wished to leave this chaosworld.
Only Gu Qingli was staring at that eye with suspicion. She felt that if it hadn't been magnified countless times, the shape of that eye and that familiar cold ruthlessness would have seemed very familiar.
After an unknown period of time, the pupil of the eye of the God of Heaven, which was known as the Eye of God, became further and further away.
Wasn't that Helian Yu's eyes? Gu Qingli cried out in shock.
If that eye really did belong to Helian Yu, then it definitely wouldn't be some God of Heaven's Eye.
If he wasn't magnified countless times, then she was shrunk countless times. However, this strange phenomenon was really hard for her to understand, and no one could answer her.
The wandering souls watched as the God of Heaven's Eye gradually disappeared into the distance. At that moment, the crowd burst into cheers that were so loud that it could shake the whole world.
Golden symbols suddenly appeared on the dome under the arc of light. They were all in ancient runes and Sanskrit, the meaning unknown. Furthermore, they were quickly changing their arrangement, the intense golden light made them unable to open their eyes.
Outside the soul orb, Helian Yu sighed lightly and carefully placed the soul orb into his pocket.
Helian Shuang's wet nurse, Madame Li, trembled as she was brought up to the Eastern Palace. She looked around, her eyes filled with fear.
The Eastern Palace Crown Prince's cold attitude was not unfamiliar to her. Although Helian Yu was not a cruel and evil person, when everyone in the palace saw him, they couldn't help but feel fear.
"Too... Your Highness, what orders do you have for me? "
Helian Yu first looked at her coldly for a while, causing her to almost collapse to the ground. Then, he coldly said, "I heard that you were in the palace a few days ago discussing my matters. Is this true?"
"No, no!" This servant definitely does not dare! " Madame Li swore to the heavens that she wished she could repeat all the poison curses.
"It seems that you are relying on Seventh Princess's wet nurse and do not know your place." Let me tell you, if I want you, even the Seventh Princess won't be able to protect you! "
Madame Li cried and denied at the same time. Helian Yu's expression seemed to loosen a little. "Are you from Imperial Concubine Zuo's mother's family that accompanied you into the palace?"
"No no …" This servant isn't. After Imperial Concubine Zuo sent the news, the empress specially left the palace to take care of her. At that time, I wanted to summon a medicine woman who knew both birth control and medical skills, so I went to apply … "Your servant's family was the ancestral medicine hall. I followed my grandfather and father and learned a bit about medicine, and then my family fell …"
"Since you have a family and children, why are you willing to enter the palace and not be reunited with your family for the rest of the year?"
Madame Li's eyes drooped as she replied, "Because of the poverty of our family, we are unable to sustain our livelihood. We have no choice but to do so." "To be able to bring my son into the palace with the grace of the empress and to accompany him in his studies, this is a blessing this humble servant obtained from my previous life."
Helian Yu asked a few more questions. Although Madame Li was nervous and fearful, she didn't have many suspicious points. It wasn't convenient for him to ask too many questions, so he sent her away.
Before leaving, he also threatened her with a few more sentences. If she were to continue speaking behind her back about her master, don't blame him for being heartless.
After Lady Li had been frightened by him, she didn't dare to spread the fact that she was being questioned at night.
Helian Yu thought back to Madame Li's words and discovered that the only useful information was related to the Empress.
He hadn't thought much about the empress before, as he had always felt that there was something fishy behind all this. Zuo Lian must have been the only one who did it, but now that he thought about it this way, the empress accompanied Zuo Lian's mother to the palace to wait for her delivery.
He also thought that in the illusion of Helian's sacred art, the empress had mysteriously appeared as well, and even abused him while he was still a baby.
Although the empress had never made a move against him in his later childhood memories, it was mostly because of his age and the empress was afraid that he would complain to the emperor.
Under the night sky, a figure sneakily emerged from the shadows of the trees. He looked around for a while, and after learning a few birdsong sounds, he saw a eunuch walking in from the Lunar Cave and waved towards him.
As he walked out, a hazy silhouette appeared. It was a woman who had combed her hair into a bun. She was no longer young, but her body was still white and delicate. She carefully handed a small bag to the eunuch, whispering something to him in a solemn voice.
Compared to her, the eunuch seemed very casual. From time to time, he would absent-mindedly look around, as if he was spying on something.
"Did you hear me?" The woman looked dissatisfied.
The eunuch harrumphed, "I need to pay attention to whether or not there are people stealing peeks at us."
"Don't forget. Be careful. These are all precious and fragile objects."
"How precious is it?" Dozens of lanterns lit up one after another within the Moon Cave Sect. The one in the lead was dressed in the clothes of a dragon. His face was so fair and handsome that it was close to bewitching. His sinister smile sent chills down one's spine.
When the woman saw him, her face turned ashen, and she immediately kneeled down, lowering her head and saying with a trembling voice, "Eighth Emperor … "Prince …"
Helian Meng walked closer. He bent down to weigh her lower jaw and said, "So it's This King's Nanny Liu. Why aren't you staying in your room properly in the middle of the night, coming out to admire the moon?" Although they were also servants, in the end, they had an extraordinary status, being superior to others. This was even more so for the wet nurse of the prince.
That woman was Helian Meng's wet nurse, the only one who had served him since birth. She had always been trusted by the Imperial Concubine Zuo, but Helian Meng clearly had no respect for her.
He raised his head to look at Tian Xiao. "Tonight's moonlight is not good. The date that Grandma Liu chose isn't right."
He lightly laughed as his fingers silently increased the force, causing Mrs. Liu to scream in pain, "Eighth Prince, please spare me! Eighth Prince, please spare me!"
