Chapter 893 - 893: Half of my life (3)
of course he’s not the eldest son. He’s the second son, the literary star of our Xu family. The clansmen explained loudly.
The clan elder ignored him and continued to search the crowd.”Eldest brother, where is eldest brother?”
Xu Qi ‘an had no choice but to walk over and smile. “Grandpa, it’s me, dalang.”
The clan elder narrowed his eyes, carefully scrutinising him, then smiled and said, ” it’s eldest brother, it’s eldest brother. It’s the literature star of our Xu family.
The son of the elder explained awkwardly, “”ln the past, I always told father about eldest brother’s deeds. He has heard so much that he only remembers eldest brother.”
Imperial Palace, imperial garden.
Wei Yuan sat in the pavilion, playing chess with Emperor Yuan jing.
After killing the old Emperor for a few rounds, Wei Yuan said, heard that the
Empress was ill when she came in?”
Emperor Yuan jing glanced at him and said expressionlessly, “”lt’s autumn, maybe you caught a cold. Zhen was busy with government affairs and neglected the Empress. Wei Qing, please visit the Empress on Zhen’s behalf.”
He had walked the road to Feng Qi Palace countless times, but this time he walked particularly slowly. The end of the road was clearly the person he cared about the most, but he was afraid of walking too fast, afraid that if he wasn’t careful, he would finish the road.
In Feng Qi Palace, the peerlessly beautiful Empress stood in the hall, one hand pulling up her sleeve, the other burning incense.
“What are you doing here?”
Seeing Wei Yuan enter the hall, she was pleasantly surprised.
“We’re about to set off, so I came to see you.” Wei Yuan smiled warmly.
The Empress led him to his seat and ordered the palace maids to serve tea and cakes. The two of them sat in the room, and time quietly passed. They did not talk much, but there was an indescribable harmony between them.
After finishing a cup of tea, Wei Yuan sighed, “”The palace has always had the cakes you made?”
The Empress pursed her lips and chuckled, “I don’t know when you’ll come, but I know you like to eat the pastries I make the most.” That’s why I personally cook some every afternoon.”
Wei Yuan nodded. thank you.
The Empress looked at the plate and saw that she had only eaten two pieces of cake. She said softly, ‘
“In the past, ah Ming would always snatch the pastries I made from you, but you never let him. In the Shangguan family, you’re more of a legitimate son than him, because you’re my father’s most valued student and the Son of his
Savior …”
“I won’t say anymore!”
Wei Yuan interrupted him and said in a low voice, ‘”‘The Grudge between the Shangguan family and I was settled after Shangguan Ming’s death. I came over to tell you …”
He looked at the Empress’s beautiful face, which was as stunning as it was in the past, and said, ” I’ve been by your side for half my life. Now, I’m going to do what I want to do.
Wei Yuan stood up and walked out of the hall.
“You’ve guarded me for half your life, yet you never Imew what I wanted.”
The Empress’s voice came from behind.
Wei Yuan’s footsteps paused for a moment before he left.
A gust of wind from an unknown place began to blow through the palace walls, blowing up his green robe and his white sideburns.
There was a long road outside the Feng Qi Palace, with tall red walls on both sides. He walked forward silently, finally finishing this road, and also finishing half of his life.
This year, you’re at the ends of the earth. Xiaoxiao’s hair was glowing.
Lin ‘an, who was wearing a red dress like fire, walked towards Wen Yuan Pavilion with two Palace maids and the guards of Shao Yin Palace.
“Eh, why is Wei Yuan in the palace?”
Lin ‘an saw a green-robed figure coming out from the harem from afar and muttered curiously.
She had never liked Wei Yuan, because da Qingyi was a loyal supporter of the fourth prince, and the fourth prince was the crown prince’s biggest threat.
It wasn’t until she met Xu Qi ‘an that she started to have a good impression of Wei Yuan.
Lin ‘an watched Wei Yuan’s back as he left. He didn’t delay his own business and continued to walk towards Wen Yuan Pavilion.
Wen Yuan Pavilion had a total of seven pavilions. It was the imperial family’s library Pavilion, with an abundant collection of books.
Lin an accurately entered the third attic and called over the clerk in charge of managing Wen Yuan Pavilion, “I want to read books related to the Dragon veins in the capital. Go and find them.”
As a Princess, she didn’t need to look for books in the sea of books herself. She had the help of the ” local snake ” administrator.
After getting the book that recorded the Dragon vein, Lin an turned to the sixth attic and also called the administrator and instructed, “Bengong wants to look up information on the first generation uncle Ping Yuan.”
The administrator quickly found the corresponding files of the first generation uncle Ping Yuan.
This time, Lin ‘an did not borrow the book. He opened it and took a look. The first generation of Ping Yuan Bo was a figure from 170 years ago. He was originally a general in the North. Because of his repeated military achievements, he was later conferred a noble title.
“Uncle Ping Yuan’s mansion was bestowed by the Emperor …” Lin an muttered in his heart.
Late at night.
In the inner city, in an area near the Imperial City.
The residence of the count of Ping Yuan was quiet, and there was a seal on the door. Ever since the count of Ping Yuan’s family had been exterminated by Heng Hui, this residence had been taken back by the Imperial court.
In fact, at that time, the count of Ping Yuan had two Shu sons who were having fun outside and were not in the mansion, so he escaped. However, a concubine’s son did not have the right to inherit the title, so he naturally did not have the right to inherit this Imperial mansion.
A black shadow calmly avoided the night watchman on the roof and the patrolling Imperial knife guards. Taking advantage of the night watchman’s end of the night watchman’s observation, he quickly climbed over the wall and sneaked into the residence of uncle Ping Yuan.
The black shadow was wearing a tight-fitting nightwear, which outlined her voluptuous curves.
It was impossible for a man to have such exaggerated pectoral muscles, nor would he have such a slender waist, so she was definitely a female cat burglar.
The residence of count Ping Yuan was deathly silent.
The black shadow looked around for a moment, then quickly moved along the wall. In the process, she took out a hand-drawn map of the Dragon vein and a celestial supervisor’s eight-trigram Feng Shui plate.
She squinted her beautiful eyes, which were as sharp as a knife. Under the dim moonlight, she observed the map of the Dragon vein and the feng Shui compass in her hand.
After a little comparison and analysis, she finally arrived at her destination-the backyard garden.
The layout of the backyard garden of count Ping Yuan’s residence was unique. There was a large rockery. Because no one cared about it, it was overgrown with weeds and looked very desolate.
The black shadow leaped lightly and stepped on a fake mountain. She looked down for nearly a quarter of an hour, then silently floated to the ground and fumbled around the few fake mountains that she had locked onto.
When it came to the last target, he finally had some gains. This three-meter-tall artificial mountain was hollow, and when he knocked on it lightly, it would make a hollow echo.
She walked around the rockery, looking for clues. Suddenly, she reached out and pressed somewhere.
With a creak, the side of the rockery automatically slid open, revealing a dark, slanted cave entrance.
[ PS: I fell asleep while writing yesterday. When I woke up, I continued to write. I thought that since it was already so late, I wasn’t in a hurry, so I wrote a little more. This chapter has more than 5000 words. ]
I’m old now. In the past, I didn’t even need to sleep when I stayed up late to write..
