The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 749 Confrontation
This makes sense... After all, the Queen is suspected to be a "Shengxuan" True Lord. Even if she is not in good condition, her realm is there. If I reveal a little flaw, there is a high possibility that she will find out...

Zhao Chen nodded slightly, looked at the shadow of the clock in the bronze mirror, and asked again: "Do you think my guess about the identity of the Queen is reasonable?
"Could she be the 'Shengxuan' True Lord who established the Xuannv Temple in ancient times and pretended to be 'Xuannv'?"

Seeing the question, Zhong Ying thought carefully for a while, and said hesitantly: "In fact, the Zhong family does not know her specific origins, they only know that she is a 'ghost'... Even the fact that she competed with 'Empress Pingxin' for the 'underworld', the Zhong family actually does not know.

"But I think the possibility that she is the 'Xuan Nu' is very small."

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think so?"

"The reason is very simple, because the ancient 'Xuan Nu' was still very active until the period of war among the princes more than 8,000 years ago.

"She supported Zhu Chao, the king of Liang at the time. Although she did not enter the palace as a concubine, she had an ambiguous relationship with him.

"Even though Zhu Chao's personality changed drastically and he brought disaster to the Central Plains, 'Xuan Nu' did not abandon him, but continued to fight for him.

"Even the Great Xia Emperor suffered a little at the hands of 'Xuan Nu'.

"In the end, it was Zhu Chao who ambushed 'Xuannv' himself and forcibly devoured her, causing Daliang to lose its last barrier. Emperor Gaozu invaded the present-day capital and personally cut off Zhu Chao's head.

“Although this incident is not recorded in the ‘Heroic Biography of Emperor Gaozu’, families with a long history have more or less relevant records.

"It is said that Emperor Gaozu actually had a crush on that 'Xuan Nu' and wrote a poem to mourn her after learning that she had been devoured...

“With the personal endorsement of Great Xia’s Emperor Gaozu, I guess even if ‘Xuan Nu’ is not completely dead, she can’t come back easily, let alone compete with ‘Empress Ping Xin’ for the ‘Underworld’.

"What's more, 'Xuan Nu' is only at the first level of 'Sheng Xuan' and doesn't have the strength to compete with 'Ping Xin Niang Niang'."

Zhong Ying's answer made Zhao Chen fall into deep thought.

But after a moment, I had to admit that she was right.

But the question is - why can the Queen's spirit and vitality be recognized by the blessed land created by "Xuannv"?

Is it just because the Queen once used the environment to heal her wounds?
"According to the Zhong family's speculation, the current queen was probably also a figure during the war among the princes more than 8,000 years ago, because she once took out the token of the Zhong family's ancestor and returned a 'magic weapon' that the ancestor had given her for safekeeping to the Zhong family.

"This is how the Zhong family accepted her as the legitimate daughter of the Zhong family. She entered the palace as the queen with this identity."

At this time, Zhong Ying was still slowly stating: "Speaking of which, the Zhong family was once one of the Twelve Aristocratic Families, but more than a thousand years ago, after the inexplicable death of the only True Lord in the family, it has been on the decline, and even lost the title of 'Aristocratic Family' and was replaced by the Yuezhou Wu Family.

"I am naturally very happy to have one more magical weapon as my foundation."

"I'm afraid the queen has reached a deal with the current emperor first?" Zhao Chen was very perceptive and immediately heard something wrong. "Otherwise, even if the Zhong family coveted the 'divine weapon', they would not dare to send a ghost with unknown origins into the palace to be the queen."

"Your guess is correct, but there is no reward!" Zhong Ying replied playfully, and then said seriously, "The Zhong family's masters have a few guesses about her origins, but they have no evidence."

"What are their speculations?" Zhao Chen asked.

"There aren't many female cultivators at the 'Shengxuan' level. The Empress of Xiliang and Master Moyun are actually within their guesses. I won't say more about these. There is no reason or evidence, and they are not even as good as your hypothesis of the 'Xuan Nu'...

"The only reliable one is that she is also a disciple of Taishi Demon Lord, and is from the same school as 'Niangniang Pingxin'. This is why she is qualified to compete for the 'Yinshi'." Zhong Ying paused here, and added many runes to the bronze mirror, and then continued, "And there is only one 'Shengxuan' female cultivator who meets this condition besides True Lord Moyun. "That is the 'Purple Star Goddess' who is called the 'Daughter of the Star God' in the legend.

"She existed before the Jiashen Heaven Change. After the 'Star God' disappeared, she degenerated into a 'ghost' and became a disciple of the Great Demon Lord.

"But the Demon Lord did not accept her as a disciple. He only allowed her to attend as an auditor."

Purple Star Goddess? I seem to have seen this name in Chai Xun's memory palace... If it is really her, then it makes sense that she hid in the palace to recuperate. She was simply borrowing the power of the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Tu", a star raft accessory.

Zhao Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Next, the two chatted about Concubine Wang Qingling. After Zhong Ying teased him that he had deceived the heart of another female hero, they were ready to end the call.

But just before Zhao Chen took back the magic power he had injected into the bronze mirror, Zhong Ying seemed to sense something and suddenly said, "I just received news that Guan Si Niang, who is under the command of King Liang, wants to create a conflict between you and the people of King Wei.

“And the target she used was your sister Hongxia.

"If you rush to Wanbaolou now, you should still be able to stop it."

……

At the same time, the imperial concubine Wang Qingling, wearing a golden mask, came to the "Wanbao Tower", the headquarters of "Tiangong Pavilion" in the capital.

She did not go to see the many goods on sale in the lobby on the first floor, but went directly to the second floor and entered the VIP area.

A maid who knew her came up to greet her and asked enthusiastically, "I wonder what the imperial concubine wants to buy this time at the Tiangong Pavilion?"

As she spoke, she took Wang Qingling into the private room and served her tea, snacks, and an exquisite booklet that listed the introduction of some high-end products of "Tiangong Pavilion".

Wang Qingling sat down and flipped through the booklet. Then, without beating around the bush, he asked directly, "Is there a magical instrument that can communicate with each other even though they are thousands of miles apart?"

She wanted to buy this kind of magic weapon naturally to facilitate communication with Zhao Chen in the future.

"Your Majesty, of course there are...but the prices are not cheap, and some have severe restrictions." The maid replied after thinking for a moment.

"Price is not a problem, just recommend it." Wang Qingling waved his hand, looking generous and generous.

"Then I will recommend three products to you, and they are all unique pieces..." As she said that, the maid opened the booklet in her hand, tapped her fingers lightly, and after some operations, she successfully projected the shadows of a pair of rings.

The maid pointed at the two rings, one red and one blue, and said, "Two people wearing the red and blue rings can talk freely within a range of 300 miles, can send some simple messages within a range of 3,000 miles, and can call each other's names within a range of 30,000 miles.

“However, there is a threshold for using this red and blue wedding ring, which is that the two people wearing the ring must love each other in their hearts.

"Otherwise the ring's function cannot be used."
