Chapter 457
"Mother and concubine?" Shen Chuhan frowned, slightly puzzled.

Song Qinghuan said "um", "Looking at the expression on the mother's concubine at that time, I think that the mother's concubine should know something else, but she didn't speak because there were too many idlers waiting there. When I see her tomorrow, I can ask Understood."

"Ah Wan thinks... what's going on with this?"

"I don't know." Song Qinghuan shook his head honestly, "At first, I wondered if someone was guarding the five elders, but I checked everyone's expressions carefully, and no one leaked the slightest flaw. Besides, I really can't think I don’t know why they want to do this. So I think there is something else hidden in this matter.”

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, "However, what I'm worried about now is whether Yingche will find any excuse to stop me when I want to take away my concubine tomorrow."

Shen Chuhan pondered for a moment, "I think, Ah Wan can rest assured about the concubine's mother."

"How to say?" Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows and looked.

"The theft of the snow lotus is a major issue right now. They must find a way to solve the matter. They must have too much time. If they trip us up again at this time, they will only be more passive if we get into trouble. I think the reason why he The reason why we have to wait another day is probably because we want to take advantage of tonight to tell my concubine what to do. After all, if your guess, Ah Wan, is correct, the concubine should know something inside, Yingche and the others will naturally would be concerned."

Song Qinghuan thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement, "It's reasonable for you to say so. Then I'll wait another day, whether it is true or not, we will see tomorrow."

"Yes, today, Ah Wan can relax for now."

"Has Xuan Ying secretly notified the guards stationed around Handan City?" Song Qinghuan asked, remembering something else.

"It's all deployed. If the situation on the island is not right, they will come to support immediately." Shen Chuhan never fought unprepared battles in his life.So when he was in Handan City, he ordered Yinwei to secretly dispatch the guards from the surrounding states and counties, and as soon as they left, they had already stationed in Handan City in case of emergency.

Ying Che and the others insisted on letting Song Qinghuan participate in the election of the saintess. Although they apparently agreed, they secretly asked Xuan Ying to notify the guards in Handan City. If Ying Che and the others dared to use force, reinforcements would come immediately.

With Shen Chuhan's approval letter, Song Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was not interested in the inside story of the theft of the snow lotus. As long as Ying Che and the others could keep their promise and release them, she would not make things difficult for them.

The tense nerves relaxed, and I felt exhausted.After all, she was seven or eight months pregnant, and her physical strength was not as good as before. She stretched out her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows, and stood up while supporting her waist, "Ashu, I'm a little tired."

Shen Chuhan hurriedly got up to support her, and said in a gentle voice, "I've been busy all day today, go to bed first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do. There won't be any accidents with the concubine mother."

"Okay." Song Qinghuan smiled lightly and nodded in agreement.

Helping Song Qinghuan to lie down on the bed, Shen Chuhan extinguished the candle with a big wave of his hand, and then rested beside her.

Silent all night.

The next day, Song Qinghuan had something on her mind and woke up very early.As soon as she woke up, Shen Chuhan naturally woke up too. The two of them just said a few words when they heard a woman's voice outside the door.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Song Qinghuan responded.

He said again outside the door, "The washing things have been prepared for Miss Concubine and Emperor Han, and they are placed outside the door. After you two wash up, please follow me to Xuandian, and come over in the next quarter of an hour."

Song Qinghuan said hello, and heard footsteps walking away from the door.

Shen Chuhan opened the door, brought in the toiletries, and finished washing with Song Qinghuan.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, the woman who just left and returned was the person who led them to the Holy Palace last night.

The woman bowed to Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan, "Miss Concubine and Emperor Han, can we go?"

Song Qinghuan said lightly, "Let's go."

The air on Crescent Island in the early morning is exceptionally sober, and the breeze blows with a touch of water vapor, which shocks people's spirits.When passing in front of the Holy Palace, Song Qinghuan purposely glanced at the opposite bank, but saw that the bustling bank yesterday was empty, only the sound of the tide beating against the shore, adding a bit of loneliness.

Although Yingche and the others claimed that Xuelian had failed to choose a master, and that the election of the saintess would be held on another day, how could the Fulan tribe be so easily fooled?There will always be some clues, but when the time comes, what kind of lies will the elders plan to use to block everyone's suspicion?

He curled his lips coldly, and withdrew his gaze.

When they arrived at Xuandian, Ji Ye, Yan Luo, and Jiang Rushi had already arrived, and only Ying Tianshu was still there.The five elders have also sat down at the head, all with solemn expressions.

He nodded his head to greet everyone, and Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan also took their seats.This time, naturally, he deliberately misunderstood Ji Ye.

Ji Ye already had that half-smile look on his face, but there was an unpredictable deep meaning in his mischievous eyes.Yan Luo at the side lowered her head, her expression was indifferent, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After waiting for a while, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, and soon, Ying Tianshu's figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a relationship." After entering the hall, he made a confession to everyone, and he also found a seat to sit down, on the left side of Shen Chuhan.The moment he sat down, he grinned at Shen Chuhan, looking familiar.

Shen Chuhan also hooked his lips in a rare way, as a greeting.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Yingche said in a deep voice, "If the people in the clan know about the theft of Xuelian, it will definitely cause great turmoil. Last night, we explained to the clan why Xuelian didn't choose a master, and we put the matter to rest for the time being." Before the ins and outs of this matter are found out, please be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't let people see the clues."

With a sweep of his gaze, he said again, "This matter is of great importance, so please keep it to yourself, even the closest ones." , Ying Tianshu and Jiang Rushi turned in circles.

Yan Luo and the others agreed without saying anything more.

"Then let's go back today, we will let you know if there is any news."

So, everyone got up to leave, but Song Qinghuan didn't move, just sat on the table with a calm expression.

Ying Tianshu glanced at her, smiled, didn't say much, followed Yanluo and the others, and also walked out of the Xuandian.

After everyone left, only Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan were left.

Song Qinghuan raised her head, glanced coldly at Ying Che's face, and said lightly, "Elder Ying, I don't know where my mother and concubine are now?"

Yao Fusang frowned, and looked at Song Qinghuan with dissatisfaction, but Song Qinghuan had a clue about the theft of the snow lotus, so she didn't dare to speak casually.

Ying Che didn't speak, but Ji Shu said with a smile, "Miss, please be safe and calm, the saint will be here soon."

Song Qinghuan glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Song Qinghuan didn't speak, and Shen Chuhan couldn't speak. As for the elders, they each had their own thoughts, and no one broke the silence first.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, I heard a voice outside the door, "Several elders, the saint is here."

"Please come in." Ying Che said.

As his words fell, Yu Li walked in slowly accompanied by Chong Jin, her gaze swept across Song Qinghuan's face, and there was a look of relief in her eyes.

Seeing Yan Li appearing as scheduled, Song Qinghuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

The elders got up and Ying Yanli sat in the middle of the upper head, but Yanli smiled slightly, "After yesterday, I am no longer a saint, the elders don't have to be so polite."

Ying Che's face darkened.

The new saintess has not yet been selected, and Yuli can't wait to step down. Although she has lost her spiritual power and can't help in recovering Xuelian, Yingche always feels a little bit uncomfortable with her attitude. taste.

However, Song Qinghuan's attitude was very clear, no matter how upset he was today, he could only obediently let Yuli go.

Ji Shu smiled inexplicably, "Holy lady... just can't wait to take this burden off her shoulders."

Yuli just smiled and said nothing, not thinking of disobedience.

Song Qinghuan also got up and looked at the first few people, "If the elders have nothing else to do, we will leave first. After all, I haven't seen my mother and concubine for many years, so we have to catch up on the past."

Yao Fusang and Ying Che's expressions were a bit ugly. After a long time, Ying Che managed to say a few words, "Let's go."

"Farewell." Song Qinghuan didn't drag his feet, and made a hasty salute, and together with Shen Chuhan, they turned around and left the temple with the concubine glass and heavy brocade.

The few people behind looked at their backs that decided to leave, their faces were so black that ink dripped out.

After leaving the Xuandian, Si Tan and Gui Ying came up to meet them, carrying two bundles in their hands, which must have been Yu Li's luggage.

Song Qinghuan glanced at them, "Miss Si, Miss Gui, lead the way."

After getting off the Baibei Bridge and stepping onto the beach of Yuheng Island, Song Qinghuan and Yuli felt a little bit sad.This is the first time in three years that Yuli has set foot on the main land of Yuheng Island, looking at the familiar scenery in front of her, it is inevitable that she has a lot of feelings.

With a wave of Si Tan's hand, the barrier behind him slowly closed, and Qionglou Yuyu was once again hidden in a vast white mist.

"Where does Ah Wan live now?" Yuli looked at her and asked.

"Qingya Xiaozhu." Song Qinghuan said, "Mother and concubine should also come with us."

"Qingya Xiaozhu is Elder Ji's other courtyard. Now that I'm out, it's inconvenient to disturb her anymore, so go live with me."

Song Qinghuan was slightly surprised, "Where does the concubine mother live?"

"When I didn't live in the temple, I also had a mansion in Yitongfang. Although no one lived in it for a long time, it was still spacious. You can live with me."

"Okay." Song Qing happily responded.

The concubine mother is right, Qingya Xiaozhu is Ji Shu's other courtyard after all, so it is always inconvenient, now that the elders have a lot of dissatisfaction with them, it is better to move out early, so as not to be constrained by someone else's territory others.

Yu Li looked at Si Tan and Gui Ying, "Just send the two of you here."

Chongjin reached out to take the burden from the two of them.

Si Tan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, saluted and left.

After walking for a while, it gradually became crowded.What happened last night has spread throughout the island, not to mention everyone in Yitongfang. Along the way, more and more eyes fell on Yanli and Song Qinghuan.

Song Qinghuan had long been accustomed to seeing such gazes, fearing that Yuli would feel uncomfortable, she deliberately stepped forward to hold her hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Mother Concubine, don't worry about it."

Yuli smiled faintly, and held her fingertips with her backhand, signaling that she was fine.

Along the way, due to the crowds, the two of them didn't say much. After about half a cup of tea, Chongjin led the crowd into a street, and then pointed to the innermost courtyard in front of him. , "Your Highness, there is Madam's residence."

Walking to the front of the mansion, I saw that the plaque in front of the door had been removed, and a layer of dust had fallen on the door. It was indeed a bit bleak, and it could be seen that no one had lived there for a long time.

Chong Jin stepped forward and pushed the door open, and invited a few people in.

Shen Chuhan paused at the door, looked at Song Qinghuan and Yuli and said, "Ah Wan, concubine mother, why don't you two go in first, I'll go back and tell Junxi and the others to pack up and come here."

Song Qinghuan knew that Shen Chuhan was intentionally leaving space for himself and his concubine mother, so he nodded after thinking about it, "That's fine."

Shen Chuhan nodded towards Yuli, then turned and left.

Song Qinghuan looked at Yuli and smiled, and the two of them entered the yard together.

Chongjin hastily tidied up the main hall in the front yard first, and let the two of them rest here, while he went to tidy up other rooms in the backyard.

As soon as she left, Song Qinghuan looked at Yuli who was beside her. The excitement beside her could no longer be restrained, and she knelt down in front of Yuli with a "plop", tears streaming down her cheeks, "Mother Concubine, Ah Wan is not filial. You suffer."

Yuli was startled, and hurried to help Song Qinghuan, "Ah Wan, what are you doing, get up quickly. Isn't the concubine mother well now?"

Song Qinghuan burst into tears and shook her head, "I know that the reason why the mother and concubine lost her spiritual power is because of me."

Yanli's pupils shrank, and the hand holding Song Qinghuan also froze. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Wan, you...do you remember things from your previous life?"
