Unique Zihan

Chapter 501 The Mystery of the Blood Lotus

Wanyan Juemo's expression froze for a while, his eyes became condensed, "Did you see anyone when you came?"

"No, princess."

Wanyan Juemo lowered her eyes slightly, curled her fingertips slightly, "Let's go." After saying that, a maid came to help her into the carriage.

Compared with the embarrassing urging of the past few days, the carriage at this moment was obviously too luxurious and luxurious, and it was surrounded by layers of officers and soldiers guarding it.
"Damn! You bastards, so many people went and only three came back! You brought five times more people than hers! She escaped all of them, tell me! You still have What's the value of being by my side!" A man was wearing a golden robe and fine clothes, with silk shoes on his feet, a tortoiseshell light on his head, and the night pearl on the hairpin flickering on his head, his face was so gloomy that dripping water .

The three people kneeling below lowered their heads at the moment, and they didn't dare to say a word. They didn't expect that woman to die so hard. They were sure of winning, but they didn't know how the third child couldn't even beat a seriously injured person. , It's really weird!
"Prince, things have changed. There is a white-robed man beside the eldest princess to help her, so we are here." The elder brother thought of Zi Han's face, his face was a little gloomy, and it is very likely that he was the culprit!Otherwise, how could a person who had suffered such a serious injury beat the third child of Quansheng!

"Hmph! Excuse! Why didn't I hear that the eldest princess came back with someone? She was brought back alone by General Chang Sheng. Now the palace doctor is treating her injury. I heard it is very serious, but still It's so abominable that you didn't die!" The prince became furious when he thought of this. He held the teacup in his hand and threw it at several people. The teacup shattered with a "click", and all the crumbs and tea splashed on the heads of several people. They Not daring to say a word, he knelt silently and endured the prince's anger.

The prince and the eldest princess were born from the same father. The prince's biological mother was the queen, and he was one year older than the eldest princess. Therefore, he was named the prince when he was born, and he lived in wealth and prosperity since he was a child. Wealth seems to be destined, but his enemy is the eldest princess Wanyan Juemo, who is one year younger than him!
Wanyan Juemo's biological mother was just an ordinary noble concubine. The concubine died of a serious illness in her early years. Wanyan Juemo's status at that time was very low, but little did she know that she was talented and intelligent. She attracted the attention of her father, so much so that she was very optimistic about her. She often praised Wanyan Juemo in front of him for how good and powerful she was, which made him, a grown man, lose his face every time!
As time passed, she began to hate Wanyan Juemo, and opposed her everywhere. As a woman, she naturally couldn't compete with him for the throne, but in recent years, her father has always entrusted the power of soldiers and horses to her, and now she is in control. Linyue Kingdom has 80.00% of its military power, and the remaining 20.00% is the imperial guards, which means that she alone controls all the military power outside.

And in the future, after he ascends the throne, who knows if this woman will return the power of soldiers and horses to him, if not, then this person will be his great enemy!
He also reminded his father more than once, but his father acted as if he didn't hear it, and still let her take charge of the military power, and revealed it in his words.
He remembered quite clearly that at a celebration banquet, his father was drunk and said to him, "If you don't work hard, it's okay for my Linyue Kingdom to produce a queen." It was these words that completely stimulated the excitement in his heart. Angry and jealous, she is a woman, how can she be in charge of the country!The country belongs to him!

Since that day, he sent countless dead soldiers and killers to take her life, but unfortunately, all of them failed without exception.

This time she finally got an opportunity. She went to negotiate with the neighboring country of Japan. She couldn't bring too many guards with her, so she only brought a small team of 40 guards. She didn't expect that this perfect opportunity would be wasted by these. People are missing out!
The prince got angry for a long time, finally managed to control his emotions slowly, stared at the few people with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "Get out! Don't let Wanyan Juemo find you!"

After all, he just waved his sleeves, ignoring a few people.

After this failure, I don’t know how long we have to wait for another chance.

On the other side, Wanyan Juemo leaned against the bed, staring at the edge of the bed expressionlessly.

"Princess, you should rest well these few days, and don't let the wound open again. Your servant will change your dressing regularly every night, and you should also drink the medicine on the table regularly, which will help the bruises in your body Scatter the blood." The female imperial doctor standing beside her lowered her head and said slowly.

"En." Wanyan Juemo didn't raise his eyes, his expression was a little silent.

Seeing this, the female imperial doctor didn't say anything, she just retreated voluntarily. The eldest princess has always been taciturn and has a very cold temperament. Even if she talks to people on weekdays, they must stay three meters away from her and never let anyone touch her. She, this is the reason why I have been by her side for so many years.

She is the imperial physician of the eldest princess.

No matter how injured she is, the eldest princess will come back to heal herself.But this time when she came back, the wound had been bandaged, and based on the location of the wound, it was impossible for her to bandage it herself. Therefore, the female imperial doctor looked very surprised when she saw the eldest princess for the first time, but as a A minister is most taboo about talking too much, so she didn't ask.

After seeing the person leave, Wanyan Juemo rolled his eyes, reached out and took out a note from under the pillow, frowned slightly, and opened the note.

"Farewell now, I don't want the 10 taels, I'll take your 8000 taels, goodbye." The words were very short, without even leaving a name, and the handwriting seemed a little hasty.

After Wanyan Juemo read it, a chill flashed through his eyes. He crumpled the note into a ball with his palm, threw it aside and ignored it.
-
On Zihan's side, after seeing a trauma doctor in a serious manner, she stayed in the inn, and after a few days when her injury recovered slightly, she went to Lin's house to investigate
After being injured for a hundred days, not to mention breaking a few ribs, Zi Han came out after resting in the inn for a week, and when he came out, he went to sit in a teahouse with a storyteller for a whole day.

Until the teahouse was about to close and the storyteller was about to leave, Zi Han stopped the old man's way, stuffed a silver coin into his arms, and asked indifferently: "I want to ask you something."

The old storyteller saw the silver in his hand and smiled, "Excuse me, my lord."

"The Lin family, what's going on?" Zi Han asked with narrowed eyes, with a curious gleam in his eyes.

After hearing this, the old man looked at Zi Han suspiciously, with a strange expression on his face, and said with a light smile, "My lord is not from Linyue City, is he?"

"Well, they're from out of town."

"Haha, that's all that's said. The Lin Mansion's affairs have been widely spread in Linyue City for a long time. There are almost no people who don't know about it. Even the children will usually talk about it." The old storyteller said. He stroked his beard with one hand and looked at Zi Han with a smile, paused, and then said: "This matter must have started three years ago. One day when the maid of the Lin Mansion was walking around the lotus pond, she found a bright red lotus growing on the lotus pond. , the lotus flower was said to be as red as blood, which really frightened the maid, and she quickly ran to tell the master of the Lin Mansion, who was the Prime Minister Lin Jiang. When Lin Jiang saw that it was indeed the case, he ordered her to be sealed. This news was not allowed to be spread outside, and people were sent to pick the blood lotus. However, half a month later, a new blood lotus grew in the pond, and the color was even brighter and red. It looked like blood dripping, which made everyone in the Lin Mansion panic. Rumors spread that the Lin Mansion was haunted by ghosts. There was a blood-red vengeful female ghost entrenched in the lotus pond of the Lin Mansion. "

This story is quite legendary, Zi Han became interested when he heard it, raised his eyebrows, "Then what happened later?"

"There is no airtight wall in the world. It doesn't matter once or twice. The problem is that the blood lotus will grow out every ten days and a half. In order to refute the rumors, the Lin Mansion will send people to remove the blood lotus whenever it grows. Remove it and cremate it. This matter has spread slowly, and now the Lin Mansion no longer covers it up. After all, there is no need to hide something that everyone knows. Now they have specially sent people to do it. I went to look for capable people who could solve the mystery of this lotus pond, and even invited the goddesses and magicians, but I couldn't find out the reason." What the storyteller said was very real, as if he was immersed in the scene, lifelike.

Zi Han's eyes sparkled as he listened to it, it really seemed that ghosts and gods made it, but if ghosts and gods were in the mortal world, those ghosts would not exist, because as long as the soul left after death belongs to the spirit body , and the spirit body is not a mortal, their souls will be automatically isolated by the barrier here in the mortal world, and thus go to the realm of cultivation.

In the world of cultivation, those souls cannot withstand such strong spiritual energy, and they dissipate quickly. Only those ghosts in the mortal world with extremely strong willpower can survive in the world of cultivation, and some become ghosts. However, these Ghosts are the lowest level. They do not remember anything in their lives and float in space. They are extremely afraid of the sun and only dare to come out at night. Therefore, the strength of general ghosts is very low. Of course, there are also exception.
Therefore, the mystery of the blood lotus in the Lin family can't be caused by ghosts, it can only be man-made.

But now she can't think of why someone would dye the lotus red. What's the point of doing so?
As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, he stared at Zi Han with a playful look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Your Master, what is your unique opinion on this matter?"

"Me?" Zi Han smiled and shook his head, "There are too many things in the world that cannot be explained. The ghosts and gods you mentioned are also possible."
