Chapter 889

"What are you doing with this?"

"I thought this thing is quite powerful, brighter than ordinary oil lamps and more resistant to burning, how good would it be to take it back to make a wick?" Yuan Sheng was beaming, as if he had picked up a huge bargain, "I even brought two altars specially, just I want to give you an altar!"

Xiao Tingchen had a complicated face, "You keep it for yourself."

When Xiaomu rowed towards the center of the lake, Yuan Sheng became restless again.

Sitting on the edge of the wooden raft, this guy even teased the mermaid!
He grinned at the mermaid, deliberately bit a hole on his finger, and then dripped blood into the weak water, which made the mermaid go crazy, and surrounded the raft with three layers inside and outside!
Xiao Tingchen's face was ugly.

How could there be such a cheap person in the world? !
But this person is still his own brother!

He wished he could kick him into the water!

The two brothers finally returned to Tianxiangyin, Xiao Tingchen didn't give Yuan Sheng any good looks, and went straight back to Wuyi Lane.

He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights. After getting rid of Yuan Sheng, he stepped into Jiangheting where Su Jiu lived before, and fell asleep on the embroidered couch.

In the morning, Xiao Tingchen was awakened by the scent...

Wake up alive!

He opened his eyes, Yuan Sheng was wearing a small floral apron around his waist, and was standing beside the couch with a porcelain jar, looking at him dotingly, "Huaijin is awake, my brother has boiled tonic soup for you, It's good for the body."

The tonic soup is made from old hens.

Yuan Sheng's cooking skills are probably pretty good, and the chicken soup smells delicious, and you can tell it tastes good as soon as you smell it.

Xiao Tingchen ignored him.

He called Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang to come in to wait on him, and after washing and changing behind the screen, he sat down at the round table.

Yuan Sheng thoughtfully served him a bowl of chicken soup, and there was a big chicken leg in the chicken soup.

He handed the bowl to Xiao Tingchen, and said with a smile: "I couldn't recognize Huai Jin before. Every time I saw other brothers loving each other, I was very envious in my heart. Now I can finally recognize Huai Jin, and I will fight side by side with my brother. I couldn't help but thump, thump, and jump around, but I was so excited."

Xiao Tingchen tasted the chicken soup.

The soup tasted very good, better than what he drank when he was drunk in Chang'an City.

Xiao Tingchen felt that this elder brother still had merits.

After breakfast, Yuan Sheng went to Jinling City to grab Huachao wine, Xiao Tingchen went back to Mingde Courtyard alone, sat under the eaves to drink tea, and sorted out everything that happened last night.

Although Hua Chaojiu fled, he had a vague premonition that the girl was not on the side of the emperor.

She made it clear that there would be two people who would help him, but in the end, she herself would definitely be the one to help him.

Xiao Tingchen took a sip of tea.

Sikongchen loved the princess of Sui deeply, but Sui was destroyed by Chen Guo.

For some unknown reason, Sikong Chen, with his hands and eyes open to the sky, was unable to prevent the destruction of the country at that time.

So he stood in Qi State's camp and helped Qi State deal with Chen State.

He has been to Gusu.

Chen Yulou told him that after the Kingdom of Chen was destroyed, the men of the royal family were killed, and the women were reduced to female branches for generations.

Thinking about it, the reason Qi Guo punished Chen Guo in this way was actually because of Sikong Chen's hatred.

Everything makes sense...

Xiao Tingchen drank half a cup of tea, and Gu Yu suddenly came in to report: "Your Majesty, great news! Hua Yueji suddenly arrived in Jinling, just outside our residence! She also said that she has something important to tell the Emperor!"

Sure enough...

Xiao Tingchen curled his thin lips lightly, motioning for him to invite someone in.

Huayue Ji still covered her face with a light veil.

She is 24 years old, like a peony in full bloom, even though she is covered by a light veil, she is still graceful and gorgeous.

She stood in the yard, saluted Xiao Tingchen with a blessed body.

There seemed to be endless desire in Qiu's eyes, she said softly: "I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and the emperor's demeanor is still the same."

"I know that I am very handsome, so I don't need you to flatter me." Xiao Tingchen smiled, "I remember how the Hua family betrayed me back then. Do you want to set up a trick to murder me when you go south?"

Hua Yueji took a step forward, "The emperor has already expected why I came here. My grandfather has passed away, and now the Hua family is fully in charge of me. The Hua family, which represents the theory of yin and yang, is still very important in the court. Doesn't the emperor want it?" Help from my family?"

Xiao Tingchen sneered, "Not only does he play an important role in the court, but he is clearly a descendant of the royal family of the Sui Kingdom."

Hua Yueji was not at all surprised to be exposed as her old background.

She stroked her veil and said with a light smile, "I am good at deduction. Although I am not as brilliant as the monster deduction in Jinling City, I am still quite capable. The emperor doesn't want to know, the emperor's master has prepared mermaid, Acacia wood, corpse oil, and even human bone sails, but why are you still reluctant to leave for Juku State?"

Finally got to the point...

Xiao Tingchen raised his interest, "Why?"

Huayue Ji looked serious, "There is still a lack of gifts."

"Gift?"

"Juguzhou is a mysterious place that people in the Central Plains have never seen. The ancient witches once said that if you want to get the soul-returning incense from Jukuzhou, you have to refine it with the heart of the real dragon emperor and the blood of the daughter of the phoenix. Pill, in exchange for this elixir, you can really get the soul-returning incense. The emperor has been looking for these two gifts for so many years."

Hua Yueji paused for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Tingchen, "According to the method of the emperor's master, the fate of you and Su Jiu should have been divined many years ago. It's just that your fate has always been shrouded in a shadow, like a cover. Objects covered by the curtain are hard to see clearly, and the same is true for your elder brother Yuan Sheng. Draining Su Jiu’s blood is only enough to refine the elixir once, so the emperor dare not mess with this kind of thing. He wants to wait until he can The day when you see your fate clearly, you can do it again, and now, he seems to have finally seen clearly."

Xiao Tingchen looked puzzled.

It turned out that the preparation for so many years was not just a betrayal.

The old man is keeping him in captivity.

Like a captive animal, the love from childhood is just deception. What he really wants to do is to take his life.

It's cruel...

Xiao Tingchen picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

The tea was already cold, and the bitterness spread between the lips and teeth, stronger than ever.

After a full quarter of an hour, he said calmly: "So, when is he planning to do it? The day when Jinling City is captured?"

Hua Yueji smiled, "You should know that Jiangshan is not what he wants. If there is no problem with my divination, he will do it on July [-]th."

"July [-]th?"

"The emperor has read poetry and books, and he must have read "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". Concubine Yang became a fairy after her death. Tang Xuanzong searched hard but couldn't find her. It was not until the end that he found her with the help of capable people and strangers." July [-]th in the Hall of Eternal Life, when there is no one whispering in the middle of the night', July [-]th is a very special day when karma and fate meet. It is very easy to refine medicine on this day."

Xiao Tingchen narrowed his eyes.

It is now the end of June, and there are still twelve days before July [-]th.

Twelve days is enough for him to prepare.

Sikongchen thought he was raising animals that could be sacrificed, but he didn't know that what he was raising were the most dangerous and vicious beasts in the world!
