The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 716 Token
Wang Qingling is not from the imperial concubine's family, but the current imperial concubine herself!
I remember that the information I got before said that the imperial concubine entered the palace ten years ago. No wonder Duan Mingxue never heard any news about her again.

However, the Wang family sent a "disfigured girl" into the palace to be a concubine, and the current emperor actually took her in. There must be an unknown deal behind this, right?

Moreover, the position of imperial concubine is really free. Not only can she leave the palace at will, but she can also participate in the monks' league and participate in various social activities...

As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen gained a new understanding of the open-mindedness of the Great Xia royal family.

Then, he glanced at the other contents on the "introduction" and said carefully: "The Wang family behind the girl must be supporting the King of Wei's third son Ming Xuechan, right?
"Then why did you specifically come to remind me? Wouldn't it be in the best interests of your Wang family for me to have a conflict with King Liang?"

Seeing the question, Wang Qingling was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head, looked at Zhao Chen who was much taller than him, and asked back: "Do you recognize me? Did Mingxue tell you?"

"Yes." Zhao Chen nodded slightly. There was nothing to hide.

"I didn't expect she was serious. I thought she was just..." Wang Qingling was a little shocked. Her voice became smaller and smaller until it was barely audible. Then she calmed down and answered Zhao Chen's previous question. "I came here to persuade Mingxue not to get too close to you, so as not to be dragged into danger by you..."

“But after seeing you, I changed my mind and decided to make a good relationship with you.

"As for the matter of the third son of the King of Wei...I have said that the Imperial Concubine has never thought of actually adopting him."

From her words, we can tell that this "royal concubine" doesn't seem to care much about the Wang family.

Zhao Chen held Wang Qingling's soft hand with one hand and supported her waist with the other. After completing a difficult dance step in the rapid melody, he continued to ask: "Why did you change your mind?"

Wang Qingling hesitated for a moment, but after thinking it over, she told the truth: "Since you heard about me from Mingxue, you should know that my appearance was 'ruined' more than ten years ago...

“Although I lost a lot in that incident, I also gained a lot.

"One of the benefits is that I can see things that ordinary people cannot see... such as a special 'image' of cause and effect and fate..."

Having said this, she paused for a moment, then continued with a tone that was half fearful and half excited:

"I saw many terrifying things in you, such as the magnificent aura of an emperor, the dazzling Kunlun fairy light, and the naked Bodhisattvas surrounding you...

“But the most special and shocking one is an unimaginary ship that seems to carry the whole world, majestic and vast, yet as illusory and elusive as a mirage.

"Even the Ming family's background seems inferior to this picture in terms of level... and I have a feeling that you may have the ability to help me return to normal in the future."

This... not only were the several major foundations in my inner world detected, but even the "Great Sun Star Raft" was "seen"!

As expected, the pollution comes from the "Appearance of Ziwei", it is really powerful!
After Zhao Chen sighed inwardly for a few times, he took a step sideways while holding her, and said with a smile: "The 'Great Evil' you witnessed at the beginning was wearing the mask of 'Zhongtian Ziwei Emperor', right?"

Hearing this, Wang Qingling paused and nearly fell down. He only managed to steady himself with the help of Zhao Chen.

Her eyes widened behind the mask, and she asked in disbelief, "How did you know? I haven't even told the elders of my family about this."

Of course I know, because it is clearly written in your "Introduction": Wang Qingling, the current imperial concubine, has been contaminated by the "Appearance of Ziwei"... and the "Appearance of Ziwei" is one of the lost "Star Raft Accessories", and there is a very detailed graphic introduction in the "Jade Book".

However, Zhao Chen would not say these words here. After all, it was not safe to rely solely on Wang Qingling's "spiritual consciousness" to cover up. There were too many ways to "hear" the content of their conversation.

So he didn't continue the topic and turned his attention back to the dance itself, seeming to be immersed in the music.

Wang Qingling, who understood this, also calmed down and immersed himself in the beautiful melody.

After the dance was over, Zhao Chen sent the imperial concubine back to her original position. When he was about to look for Ming Xueling, he found a "bucket handle"-shaped token stuffed into his hand.

A voice came to his ears: "This is the forbidden token of Xuannv Palace. When you arrive in Kyoto, you can enter and leave this palace freely with this token.

"It's safer there... Well, I'm usually there at night."

Xuannv Palace... I remember that this was a garden built by the imperial concubine herself for summer vacation and entertainment. Because it was rebuilt on the basis of a temple of an ancient deity named "Xuannv", it was called "Xuannv Palace"...

But what do you want me to do with this token? I can come and go freely, and at night... If His Majesty the Emperor knew about this, would he spare me?
Even without King Liang’s intervention, I would probably have died a miserable death!

I was thinking that I would get my revenge from the emperor sooner or later, but I didn't think about it so soon...

Although he was complaining inside, Zhao Chen still put away the token and silently recited in his heart:

"Summon Qing Ling to show his heroism at night..."

He now seriously suspected that the event represented by the second half of the poem calculated by the two immortals Qin and Chu might not be very serious.

But at this time, Zhao Chen saw Cheng Haoran, the chief constable of the Six Gates of Yuzhou, approaching him with a glass of red wine.

"Mr. Chen, is this your first time attending a dance party like this?" He raised his glass with a smile, his tone calm.

Although this subordinate of King Liang was staring at Zhao Chen with a "fierce" look just now, his attitude at this moment was still friendly.

Don't hit a smiling person. Since he wasn't looking for trouble, Zhao Chen didn't intend to have a conflict with him right now, so he smiled and responded, "It's more interesting than I thought."

"I actually like the socializing method that Ningpin brought, but it can only be used for entertainment and daily diversion. If we want to discuss important matters, we have to do it in a formal setting, right?" Chief Constable Cheng took a sip of the red wine and added, "This red wine is the same. Although it has a dense taste, it can't be served at a real Great Xia State Banquet."

There is something else behind this statement... Just because my "bloodline" is not pure, shouldn't I compete for the position of heir to Da Xia?
In other words, I am not the real prince, otherwise I would have fought for it.

Zhao Chen kept smiling, and after taking a sip of the red wine, he said, "That was in the past. Perhaps His Majesty will soon include red wine in the national banquet menu."

"Really?" Chief Constable Cheng raised his eyebrows. "Then I'll wait and see."

(I watched the Chinese national football match and was so angry that my liver hurt, so I'm a little late.)
