C131 upper mountain

At the foot of the mountain, Yun Xiao was extremely excited.

As long as I can get the holy water, my sister's birthmark will have a way to get rid of it.

However, this holy water was not something that could be obtained just by saying that.

Although the Spirit Mountain was the name of the mountain, it was a vast region. As a result, the clansmen who protected the holy water had built a county city here, not under the jurisdiction of the imperial government, only because the holy water was an immortal item.

As for immortal items, it was naturally irrelevant to ordinary people.

This princess was surnamed Shangguan and had the name Li.

Through her understanding, Yun Luo learned that the princess only bestowed holy water on the fifteenth day of the month, and only one person.

Coincidentally, tomorrow would be fifteen, so Yun Luo had come at the right time.

The couple stayed in an inn at the foot of Spirit Mountain, and the waiter greeted them warmly.

"Are the two of you here to retrieve the holy water as well?"

Shangguan Wan nodded. "Yes."

"The previous princess was too greedy for money, and as long as she was willing to pay a high price, she would be able to obtain the holy water. As for the current princess, she has a weird temper, so she can't give people any sort of holy water. Last month, she gave the holy water to a hoodlum who did everything wrong, and last month, she gave the holy water to a beggar, but no one knows who she will give the holy water to this month.

Yun Luo and Nangong Yu's appearances were both pretty good, and they were considered the best in this area. That was why the shop assistant was willing to talk to them. It seemed that they had an advantage in being good.

Nangong Yu held the teacup in his hands and twirled it in the air, slowly asking, "Can you tell me more about the current princess?"

The shop assistant had seen a lot of guests and knew how to judge their appearances. The young master in front of him was handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance.

"Reporting to young master, the current princess is the third son of the old princess. After the old princess abdicates from the throne, it will be discussed among the people to make her favorite son the princess."

"Could it be that there is someone who is against giving up their seat?" Yun Luo had some doubts in her heart, so she said them out loud.

"Miss, you might not know this, but the Spirit Mountain belongs to the Shangguan family. Although it is under the jurisdiction of the princess, there is still the support of the clan heads of the Shangguan family.

After all, the younger generation didn't have enough experience to sustain such a large family business. This kind of thinking made sense.

"Oh, oh. Thank you, fellow."

"My lady is too polite." The waiter took the cloth from his shoulder and held it in his hand. He bowed and smiled, "Two guests, please wait for a moment. The dishes will be served soon."

After the shop assistant left, Yun Luo finally spoke to Nangong Yu in a low voice, "Don't you think that's a little strange? The Old Princess is so greedy, why would she let Shangguan Li manage the Spirit Mountain? The father and son's hobbies are not the same? "

The corner of Nangong Yu's mouth curved up, "Sometimes, a father's love for a child isn't because the child is compatible with him. It could also be because of other reasons, such as the child's mother."

Yun Luo was enlightened. "Are you saying that the Old Princess loved her wife so much that she gave up her position to Shangguan Li?"

"This is only a guess." Nangong Yu poured tea into the teacup.

"But I think it's pretty close." Yun Luo was very proud of her husband's intelligence.

"Sleep well tonight and head up the mountain tomorrow."

Yun Luo nodded, "Yes."

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin.

The room was quiet, almost completely silent. Cloudfall tiptoed out of bed and left the room.

Nangong Yu's eyes opened in the darkness as he looked out the window at the silhouettes outside. He sighed in his heart, knowing that this little girl wouldn't be able to sleep, so he tried to find out what was going on with the 'enemy'.

Let her be. In any case, she has her magic, and her brain is smart. As long as she isn't a strong opponent, she should be able to deal with it.

If he went with her, he might give her some trouble.

If one wanted to climb the Spirit Mountain, one had to pass through the gate at the foot of the mountain. Usually, no one was allowed to enter since the gate had a handle, except on the 15th day.

However, this was different for the fox spirit. It had been a long time since she had used invisibility. This time, she was just in time to review it.

Thus, she chanted a spell and swaggered past the gatekeeper.

It was late at night and the gatekeeper was in a daze. He was dozing off when he suddenly regained his spirits. His eyes could see the truly frightening things before him.

He hurriedly nudged his companion, "Look! There is a pair of walking feet! "

His companion, who was probably still in charge of the conversation, spoke up in a daze, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course your feet know how to walk …"

"NO!" Open your eyes, it's just a pair of legs! " This man was extremely anxious. He shook his companion to wake him up.

Helplessly, his companion opened his eyes and was surprised to see a pair of white shoes enter the room.

"GHOST ~ ~" Just like that, he let out a scream and fainted.

"Hey!" "Brother, wake up, brother …"

Yun Luo quickly went up the mountain. It seemed like she needed to practice her magic diligently, so wouldn't she be in trouble now?

Fortunately, it was only a pair of legs that came out. If the upper part of the body was seen by others, it would be terrible.

Arriving at the peak of the spirit mountain, he saw a few houses standing upright, which was quite a sight to behold.

The person inside was most likely a large family of the princess.

Yun Luo had come to familiarize herself with the environment in advance so that she could prepare to pay a visit tomorrow.

Actually, with her martial arts, it would be easy for her to take some of the Holy Water away without anyone noticing. But if she stole it without telling anyone, then she would definitely be despised by Nangong Yu. Moreover, if her elder sister knew about this, she would also be unhappy, so she decided to use a more proper method to obtain the Holy Water.

"Hehe, this old princess is indeed greedy for wealth. Look at this arrangement, her beauty is comparable to that of the imperial palace." Yun Luo muttered in her heart as she looked around at her surroundings.

Wait, was there a cry?

Yun Luo's interest was piqued. The crying meant that there was a grievance. She wasn't here to investigate, so she wasn't here to investigate. However, she couldn't let go of anything. She would just treat it as a long experience.

Yun Luo cried as she ran to the study.

A woman in the room was kneeling on the floor, crying her heart out.

"My lord, how can you be so heartless? How can my Shu be inferior to him? Furthermore, he is older than him. It is most fitting for him to be the princess!"

The old princess' face was filled with impatience, "It's a foregone conclusion now, how can it be changed so easily? "Yes, Shu'er is not bad indeed, but Li'er was born as a legal wife after all. He has already lost her mother, so I have to make it up to him."

The woman's eyes were filled with grief and indignation. "How are you trying to compensate him? You're obviously trying to curry favor with that slut!"

"How dare you!" Shangguan Hong grabbed an inkstone from the table and threw it at the woman, the ink splattering all over her.

Fortunately, Yun Luo had avoided it in time, otherwise, she would have been in trouble. As Nangong Yu expected, Shangguan Hong was an old thing, and she valued the main wife very much.

"She's already dead and you still can't forget her. All these years, even though I've only served you, you just ignored me. It's fine if you're harsh to me, but why are you doing the same to your father? He's also your biological son, are you that biased? "

The grievances and anger that filled his heart were vented out, and his tears also followed suit.
