Fu Shifeng

Chapter 193 Searching among the flowers
Hundreds of flowers bloomed in Guoseyuan, and it was not only Changqing who was shocked. Jie Yuniang and other flower spirits were even more touched, and their own cultivation and magic power seemed to be faintly improved.

These visions were naturally related to Lady Dan, and the flower spirits immediately rushed to Qunfang Xiaozhu where the retreat was located.

When they arrived, they saw Madam Dan standing on the doorstep in a red dress, looking in the direction where Cheng Sanwu and others left.

"You... got out of seclusion so soon?" Jie Yuniang felt unbelievable.

Madam Dan withdrew her gaze, smiled slightly, and her appearance was stunning: "After many years of hard work, when the opportunity comes, it will naturally be successful in one day."

When all the flowers heard this, they all looked happy.The practice of their flower essences is different from that of Buddhism. As the King of Flowers, Mrs. Dan's aura is connected with the flowers. If she has shortcomings, all the flower essences will also be affected.

But now that we meet again, headed by Jie Yuniang and several flower growers, they find that Lady Dan's appearance is different from the past, and they can't help but exclaim: "Your cultivation level has improved a lot, and I can't understand it anymore."

Mrs. Dan led several flower gardeners to stroll among the flowers in the garden. She said: "I have benefited a lot from Cheng Sanwu's words. I have understood the four seasons of creation and the growth of all things. I will no longer Constrained by the realm of admiration and admiration in the past.”

Jie Yuniang and others looked at each other, but Qiong Yingzi was the first to speak: "This is not an ordinary practice, but a great way that is close to the nature of heaven and earth."

"Yes, that's right." Mrs. Dan nodded slightly, and the sky seemed to be sensing it, and a trace of rain fell down, spreading all over the sea of ​​flowers and nourishing all things. Such magical power is so unpredictable that even a few flower-growing envoys can't. Comparable.

"Is this... is it really Cheng Sanwu's contribution?" Jie Yuniang found it unbelievable: "Compared with Your Majesty, this person is very unworthy."

Mrs. Dan pursed her red lips slightly and said with a smile: "It is indeed unbearable. He does not have the demeanor of your majesty, but he does have an extraordinary state."

Jie Yuniang was helpless: "Since you said so, I can't trouble him anymore."

"Don't just talk about Cheng Sanwu." Yu Ming interjected: "Master Lu also left us a volume of "Simple Texts on Dharma Ritual", which explains how to arrange the enchantment maze. If someone comes to offend someone, we can deal with it calmly."

Qiong Yingzi handed the scroll in her sleeve to Mrs. Dan. The ink in it was still fragrant. Not long after the handwriting dried, Yuming was still chattering about playing chess with Changqing last night.

Mrs. Dan looked at it for a moment, listened to Yu Ming's story, and suddenly smiled: "Strange, for some reason, I feel that Mr. Lu's demeanor is more like His Majesty's."

Hearing this, Jie Yuniang gently held her chin and thought: "Do you still remember the time when the heroine Emperor Zhao came to Guoseyuan to enjoy the flowers more than 20 years ago?"

Everyone nodded, and Jie Yuniang's expression suddenly became a little complicated: "At that time, in Guoseyuan, the two families' children were riding horses to compete, and the King of Linzi was once the winner. Therefore, he was blocked by Emperor Zhao's grandnephew and accidentally fell off his horse."

"King Linzi? Isn't that the current Prince of Great Xia?" Yu Ming was a little surprised.

Jie Yuniang nodded and said: "The King of Linzi was injured and lying in bed. The imperial doctor has not arrived. I suddenly thought of it and came to rescue him with medicine, so I saw him nearby. I didn't pay much attention last night, but now that I think about it, Mr. Lu He looks somewhat similar to King Linzi, could it be..."

"Don't make any noise about this matter." Mrs. Dan immediately stopped her: "Now everyone knows that Mr. Lu is the son of Prime Minister Lu. If any more news spreads, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Mrs. Dan then pondered for a while, suddenly figured something out, and murmured: "That's it."

Several flower growers looked puzzled, and Mrs. Dan handed the scroll back to Qiong Yingzi and said: "Please pay attention to Mr. Lu's movements in the future. If he encounters any trouble, we at Guoseyuan can help."

Jie Yuniang didn't understand: "Why are you helping Mr. Lu? Shouldn't it be Cheng Sanwu?"

"I guess this is Cheng Sanwu's true intention." Mrs. Dan sighed softly: "He came to Guoseyuan this time to work for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there was no need to bring Mr. Lu with him. I guess he just took this opportunity to let Mr. Lu has formed a good relationship with our country, Seyuan, and he has indeed done it."

Yu Ming covered her mouth and smiled: "How does it sound like the old father tried his best to find a future and a way for his son?"

"Maybe... it's about the same?" Mrs. Dan smiled movingly.

"There is one more thing." Jie Yuniang said quickly: "Cheng Sanwu said that he was deliberately brought to us. The person who planned this is Yan Fengjun from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He may come later. Ask about it, especially the relationship between Cheng Sanwu and Emperor Taizu."

"Mr. Yan Feng?" Mrs. Dan suddenly thought: "I understand. Go to Hexiang Pavilion and summon all the Fengxiang disciples."

Guoseyuan has its own sect. There are many women in the Twelve Flowers Temple who are disciples of the flower essences. They may practice singing and dancing, or make incense and medicine. Some of them have superficial magic power and are called incense disciples.

When Mrs. Dan sat down, she looked at the group of young and beautiful women in front of her and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Then she looked at the young maid in green and asked:
"Qu Luo, how many years have you been coming to Guoseyuan?"

"Mrs. Hui Dan, it's been eight years." The young maid in green lowered her head and answered.

"How have I treated you in the past eight years?" Mrs. Dan asked again.

Qu Luo was slightly startled, and then said: "Someone in Xiaonu's family broke the law and should have been exiled to Lingnan. It was Lady Dan who came to take him in. Over the past eight years, she taught various skills so that Xiaonu could stand up. Lady Dan was kind enough to rebuild Xiaonu in this life. I can’t repay you enough.”

"You are still as sharp-tongued as ever, that's why I asked you to come out to welcome the guests." Mrs. Dan smiled, like a gentle and kind hostess in the family.

Qu Luo smiled and saluted, wondering if she would be rewarded. Mrs. Dan's face turned cold and asked: "But why do you want to collude with outsiders?"

"Colluding with outsiders? What does Mrs. Dan mean by this?" Qu Luo was suddenly startled, with a look of panic on her face.

"When Cheng Langjun and Mr. Lu came to Guoseyuan, was it you who deliberately lured them to Peony Garden?" Lady Dan asked.

Qu Luo immediately knelt down and explained quickly: "Ms. Dan, I'm wronged! I saw someone with a special status. I'm afraid the oiran ladies from other courtyards couldn't handle it, so I invited them to the Peony courtyard. I definitely didn't have any other intentions." Ah!" Mrs. Dan closed her eyes and said nothing. Niang Jieyu came immediately and threw a few crow-green feathers in front of Qu Luo. Her tone was cold: "These are the feathers of a messenger owl. Only the Ministry of Internal Affairs can raise messenger raptors. .”

Qu Luo trembled, and Jie Yuniang continued: "These feathers were found in Qinju Village. Late last night, the nursing home saw someone entering with a lantern and wearing green clothes... How do you explain it? "

"My little slave didn't go to Qinju Village last night, so I would like to ask you two ladies to warn me." Qu Luo leaned over and kowtowed repeatedly.

Mrs. Dan slowly opened her eyes, sighed and said, "If you admit it frankly, I will only punish you slightly. But you still insist on concealing it even though you have been given a chance, so I can't keep you."

Qu Luo still wanted to defend herself, but Madam Dan raised her hand, and the hall was filled with colorful falling flowers. They seemed light. The moment they touched her body, Qu Luo's muscles and bones felt like they were being ravaged. She rolled and twitched on the spot. She opened her mouth wide but couldn't make any sound. She was in pain. No way to vent.

"It's not that I am cruel." Mrs. Dan looked around at the other Fengxiang disciples. They all showed fear on their faces: "If Qu Luo did what she said, it wouldn't be a big deal. But her actions were to cooperate with outsiders. In addition, if you are unwilling to reveal the truth, if you let it go for a long time, I am afraid it will cause even greater disasters, so I will punish you severely today."

After a while, Mrs. Dan waved her hand to remove the magic power. Qu Luo's clothes were soaked with sweat, and she was panting heavily. She still knelt down in front of Mrs. Dan with difficulty.

"I said, I said..." Qu Luo said with a tearful tone: "I made good friends with Mr. Yang two months ago. He said he would marry me as his concubine, so I don't have to laugh in front of others."

"Mr. Yang? The son of the Henan transfer envoy?" Seeing Qu Luo's slight nod, Jie Yuniang immediately became angry: "You are confused! This guy is a well-known playboy. He is in an important position because of his father. He is greedy and spends his days and nights everywhere. Besides, all the men who come to Guoseyuan are just for sensual entertainment. Who doesn’t like the new and hate the old? You don’t really believe this guy’s sweet words, do you?”

Qu Luo trembled, lowered her head and said nothing. Jie Yuniang became even more angry when she saw this, and asked sternly: "Has Guoseyuan ever treated you badly? She puts her daily expenses for food and clothing outside, and a young lady from a high-ranking family also But that’s it! We saw that you have excellent bones and we even taught you how to start practicing. This kind of blessing is something that ordinary people will never be able to get in a few lifetimes. You actually want to be someone else’s concubine? You are really spineless!"

After being scolded, Qu Luo suddenly calmed down. She plucked up the courage to raise her head and said quietly: "These ladies are all immortals, so naturally they look down on ordinary people. But I don't expect to be an immortal, I just want a good marriage in my life." "

Jie Yuniang was so angry that she turned back to look at Mrs. Dan, who had a calm face and looked at Qu Luo with a hint of compassion in her eyes.

"I have had thoughts like yours." Mrs. Dan couldn't help but smile as she thought of Cheng Sanwu's words: "I never said that you are not allowed to find your own marriage. If you can really find a good husband, I will still do it for you." You add a dowry to avoid being looked down upon by your husband's family when you marry."

The expressions of the disciples offering incense varied, and it was obvious that some of them were moved.Mrs. Dan secretly sighed in her heart. She had experienced love tribulation herself, and knew that these disciples of Fengxiang might not be able to break through this heavy obstacle. Without the hardships of reality, they might not be able to persuade them.

"Qu Luo, you are still deceiving us." Madam Dan suppressed her compassion and said seriously: "Don't forget that you are still a slave of Dai Sin, and you are only here because of the blessing of Guoseyuan. According to the laws of this dynasty, You cannot become Young Master Yang's concubine. Unless someone offers to help you get rid of your slavery, which Young Master Yang and his father cannot do."

Qu Luo's face turned pale, and she fell to the ground as if she was exhausted. Just as Jie Yuniang was about to continue questioning, a powerful wind suddenly swept into the hall, causing the clothes of all the ladies to fly and their bodies to become unstable.

"Ms. Dan, can you give me some face? Let this girl go?" A man's voice came along with the wind.

"Your Majesty, why don't you show up and speak?" Mrs. Dan gently waved her hands, and when her clothes were fluttering, countless petals flew. The wind suddenly became stagnant and slow, and the petals intertwined into a billowing cloud of fragrance, surrounding everyone present.

"Then I'm sorry."

With a word of disrespect, Yan Fengjun, still wearing a green shirt, stepped on the strong wind, fell from the sky, and landed outside the door.His demeanor was calm, his steps into the hall were steady and powerful, and his aura was extremely powerful and powerful, as if he could stir up a large force of wind at any time and level the surrounding pavilions to the ground.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Madam Dan has made great progress in cultivation, which makes me very envious." Yan Fengjun cupped his hands and said.

"Jan Fengjun's words are exaggerated." Facing the chief of Gongchen Guard, Madam Dan showed no fear: "It's a pity that what you did is not very appropriate and you secretly used our Seyuan disciples. How do you defend yourself against this move? "

Yan Fengjun said: "I am just trying to explain this to Mrs. Dan. I wonder if we can discuss it in detail alone?"

Seeing that the strong wind dissipated, Mrs. Dan also signaled the others to leave. When only two people were left facing each other in the hall, Yan Fengjun asked: "What is the relationship between Cheng Sanwu and Emperor Taizu?"

"Are Yan Fengjun so eager to know?" Madam Dan didn't have the slightest fondness for the person in front of her. It can be said that this person was indirectly responsible for her sudden disaster.

"This matter is related to the stability of the world, so I have to be anxious." Yan Fengjun said.

The more this happened, the more leisurely Mrs. Dan became, gently stroking her sleeves and robe: "I feel that since Mr. Yan Feng can win over my disciples, it will be easy and casual to inquire about this kind of information."

Yan Fengjun saw that Mrs. Dan had made great progress in her cultivation, and could not force her to force her, so he had to take the initiative to apologize: "I mishandled this time. From now on, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not interfere in entering Guoseyuan. Everything here will be done by Dan." The lady makes the decision.”

Mrs. Dan just wants the other party to surrender and retreat. Her beautiful eyes widen slightly, with an unquestionable tone and dignity: "Your Excellency is a wise man. I hope you will remember these words and don't go back on your word."

Yan Fengjun raised his hand and said yes, then Mrs. Dan flicked her sleeves and said: "Cheng Sanwu has nothing to do with Emperor Taizu."

This answer obviously did not satisfy Yan Fengjun. He frowned. Before he could speak, Mrs. Dan rushed to say: "I can guarantee that no one in the world understands Emperor Taizu better than me. In those days, His Majesty visited the country several times. Yuan, I have always had skin-to-skin contact with him. Not to mention his appearance, I even know his smell clearly. Cheng Sanwu’s face is only slightly similar to His Majesty’s, but everything else is very different. Not to mention that this person’s words are vulgar. How can you be compared with His Majesty when you are so despicable?”

Yan Fengjun still wanted to ask: "Besides this, did Mrs. Dan find anything else strange about Cheng Sanwu?"

"I don't understand what you said."

Yan Fengjun said with a heavy face: "Is Cheng Sanwu a demon incarnation? Or something like that."

"No." Mrs. Dan smiled contemptuously: "He is just a living person. His physical vitality is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people, but he is definitely not transformed by a demon. I can still see this."

Yan Fengjun seemed to be suspicious, and Mrs. Dan was not polite: "Cheng Sanwu is obviously from your inner chamber, but you want to use me to test him. If you don't believe it, why bother asking?"
