Hello Chang’an

Chapter 170 I only want the truth

"Since returning to Beijing after the victory in the spring, I wonder if Cui Qing...has had any feelings?"

Cui Jing was slightly startled: "I wonder what the specific induction your Majesty is referring to is?"

The Holy Emperor looked at the statue of the goddess with no expression of joy or sorrow on her face. Although her voice was still calm, it was enough to stir up an uproar in everyone's hearts -

"I was wondering if my son Chongyue... might have come back."

Wujue's eyes were shocked: "Your Majesty..."

Mingluo's eyes were also trembling. She was not unaware of her aunt's thoughts during this period, but when she really heard these words, she still couldn't calm down.

But she didn't hide her shock. Faced with such things, everyone should be shocked. Shock is the most normal reaction.

While she was shocked, she subconsciously paid attention to Cui Jing's reaction.

The young man who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger seemed to be the calmest one at this time, but not all changes had occurred. Unknown emotions seemed to silently gather around him, causing him to look up into the pool. white jade statue.

The Holy Emperor continued: "This formation was set up because Master Wujue accidentally caught a glimpse of a secret... Although he was just betting on a one-in-a-million possibility, this secret, which is no different from a delusion, also requires the right time and place. The harmony between people and time lies in the heavenly destiny, the favorable location lies in the Dayun Temple and the pagoda, and the harmony lies in Cui Qing.”

"At first, I still didn't understand why the person indicated by the hexagram who had this opportunity was Cui Qing, who had never met Chongyue. But over the years, I gradually understood - if Cui Qing hadn't been there, Xuance's army would have been there long ago. In name only, Cui Qing has been in charge of the Xuance Army and has been looking for a statue stone for Chong Yue. Along the way, he has already formed an inextricable and mysterious connection with Chong Yue... Perhaps, this is the will of God. guidance.”

Hearing this, Mingluo became suspicious again.

The statue stone, which is irreplaceable in this resurrecting formation and is said to be the only one in the world, was definitely found by Governor Cui. He can be in charge of the Xuance Army... What does this have to do with Princess Chongyue?

The Xuance Army was clearly founded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If my aunt said this, could it be because the two siblings were twins and were close relatives by blood, so the aunt believed that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was also related to the Xuance Army?

Intuition told Mingluo that what the saint meant might not be so simple, but she could not think of other possibilities for a moment.

Finally, the Holy Emperor turned to look at Cui Jing: "So I am thinking that if Chong Yue really comes back, Cui Qing, as a lucky person in this formation, might feel something."

Cui Jing looked at the jade statue quietly, seeming to feel something silently.

Yes, he now finally understood why he was the one who had this opportunity -

Except for the snowstorm that year, he had no other interactions with her. He was never the person closest to her. At that time, he was not qualified to stand by her side, nor did he have the opportunity to go to her and understand her.

But along the way, he took over her Xuance Mansion and Moon Gong, came to her old friends, read her art of war, heard about her deeds, and walked through the things she had walked through before. Lu, guarding everything she once guarded...

All these, and guided by the admiration and yearning that existed when they met in the wind and snow, they were able to build a bridge of induction that spans the years and the long river of life and death.

As a result, when he faced that soul, he had what Wei Shuyi said was the "smart person's intuition."

It was under the guidance of this "intuition" that he approached the truth step by step.

She walked confusedly and cautiously from the other side of the long river of life and death, and he, who had this opportunity, was fortunate enough to be the one to take her home.

There is no doubt that this will be the status for which he should be most honored in his life.

He looked at the statue quietly, and then spoke after a moment, answering the Holy Book Emperor's question seriously.

"Maybe Cui Jing is slow and hasn't noticed it yet."

The Holy Emperor didn't look disappointed when he heard this. He didn't say much, but slowly withdrew his gaze from the young man.

At this time, Wujue thought deeply and said: "Although Governor Cui has a chance, he may not be able to have a precise reaction... and the saint is the birth mother of the eldest princess, and the connection between blood relatives may be the real guidance..."

At the end of the sentence, he, a person who has always been unconventional, looked at the Holy Emperor with caution: "I wonder where the saint's induction is?"

"Since the formation here was damaged by thunderstorms in the early spring, and cracks appeared on the statue of the goddess, I have frequently dreamed of Chongyue." The Emperor of the Holy Book said: "The master once said at that time, I don't know whether this sign is a blessing or a curse, but now I see Come, or God will give guidance at that time..."

The Holy Book Emperor's voice was calm from beginning to end: "I have a guess now that the guidance may lie with the Chang family girl."

Mingluo's eyes suddenly changed, but they calmed down in an instant.

"Your Majesty is talking about... that girl Sui Ning?" Wujue looked shocked: "This... how is this possible?"

He said: "The saint should know that even if this secret technique is successful, this glimmer of hope will appear in those who are connected by blood to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess... But that girl is neither a member of the royal family, nor does she have a surname of Ming. , how could it be her?"

Mingluo's fingers were embedded in his palm.

Yes, she also knew the key to this. She even thought that maybe this was the reason why her aunt kept her by her side... That year, when her aunt returned to the Ming family, she saw her when she was young. The look in her eyes at that time It was as if he saw another person in her.

At that moment, she was not surprised, but was overwhelmed with great joy. She knew that she had succeeded.

Because, she once overheard her aunt Chang and her servant sneering: Today, at first glance, the little one in the west courtyard has a slight resemblance to Princess Chongyue when she was a child. What a pity. One is a princess, and the other is a concubine. There is no similarity at all between the noble and the humble.

She didn't feel humiliated at that time. On the contrary, she was like a person at the bottom of a dark valley who suddenly grabbed a vine.

She had only one thought, she would try her best to hold on, hold on, and climb up.

Over the years, my aunt may have often thought that the shadow of Princess Chongyue might appear on her body, even just a few traces...

She was aware of this, so she tried her best to get closer to the shadow, but she knew in her heart that she could not truly become Chongyue - the secret in Dayun Temple. In her opinion, it was more like a ridiculous delusion.

But now, my aunt has transferred this obsession and delusion to another person...

The sound of water flowing in the jade pond was heard, and Mingluo felt that his body was immersed in the cold water.

She tensed the strings in her mind, waiting for the Holy Book Emperor's response.

Yes, Master Wujue said, that vitality can only appear in people with the surnames Li and Ming. How could it be her, Chang Sui Ning?

Even though she had asked Mr. Yu, her aunt still had people secretly investigate Chang Sui Ning's life experience, and it turned out that he was indeed a poor and humble person whose parents died early in the war.

"For this reason, even though she is different from ordinary girls, and her handwriting has the style of admiring the moon, I have never thought of her before." The Emperor of the Holy Book said: "Until the Imperial Master told me, her fate is unpredictable. And it has an unknown relationship with my destiny..."

From then on, she came up with that suspicion.

The guess came out, and when he looked at the girl again, he realized that she was indeed similar to Chong Yue.

Wujue nodded: "I see..." It turned out to be the blasphemous old guy from Tianjing Imperial Master!

Cui Jing finally understood at this time.

Unlike him, it turns out that the reason why the saint became suspicious was because of the words of Tianjing Guoshi.

It seems that this Tianjing National Master does have real skills.

"Since there are a lot of uncertainties about this secret technique, and there is no precedent to refer to, then everything is possible, and it may not only be true among the people of the Ming and Li bloodlines." The Emperor of the Holy Book said: "I have asked the Imperial Master to help. Divining the truth has yielded no results yet.”

Wujue nodded again.

Oh, that old thing isn't very good either.

"Nothing has been determined yet, and I am just guessing now."

In addition, she sent people to secretly investigate the girl's experience in Hezhou in February, but failed to find any useful clues for reference -

"That's why I invited Cui Qing and Master to come here today to hear your opinions."

She naturally knew that Cui Jing was attracted to the girl, and Wu Jue also regarded her as a close junior. The two of them were not the most suitable people to discuss this matter in detail.

But Wujue was the one who set up the formation, and Cui Jing was the opportunity. Before everything was decided, she could avoid anyone to confirm the matter, but she could not avoid these two people.

The Holy Book Emperor thought, perhaps, this is where the mystery of God's will lies.

At this time, Wujue thought deeply and said: "The little girl from the Chang family was raised by the poor monk, but the poor monk never noticed anything unusual that was worth mentioning..."

Then he said cautiously: "If it is true that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is back, it will be a joyful thing... But if this is really the case, then how can Her Royal Highness not recognize the old person?"

As he spoke, he looked at the Holy Emperor and said, "Even though I don't dare to talk to an ordinary friend, I will definitely go and find His Majesty."

The implication is, which child would not go looking for his mother-in-law after being lucky enough to come back from the dead?

Moreover, this grandma is a saint today and has enough ability to protect her child who carries such a shocking secret.

The Holy Emperor said nothing for a moment, just looking at the jade statue.

Yes, which child would not miss his grandma and recognize his grandma?

But no one in the world knows what it was like when her daughter said goodbye to her mother-in-law fifteen years ago before her wedding.

Her Ah Shang has been different from other children since she was a child. She is extremely healthy, rarely gets sick, and never sheds tears. She didn't cry when she knelt down to say goodbye that day, she just knelt down calmly and left peacefully.

But after kneeling down, she could clearly feel that she had lost her daughter.

This kind of loss has nothing to do with life or death.

Therefore, other daughters will definitely come to see their mother when they come back, but her Ah Shang may no longer regard her as a trustworthy mother.

Indeed, she is not a trustworthy grandma, and she has not even learned how to be a grandma in the true sense.

The Holy Emperor did not intend to explain the clear estrangement between mother and daughter to anyone. She only speculated at this time: "Chongyue is cautious in temperament and is not willing to recognize each other rashly. Besides, it is possible that this secret technique contains The so-called return of the soul is not explained in detail. People have three souls and seven souls, or they may only have one soul to return and have not fully returned, or even though they have returned, they have forgotten the past... Perhaps the Chang family girl herself does not know that she is What happened to me."

This time Wujue nodded: "Amitabha, what the sage said makes sense. There is no precedent for this secret technique. Just as the sage said just now, everything is possible. Even a poor monk has difficulty understanding the details."

"No matter what the possibility is, as long as there is a trace of Chong Yue's soul in her body, then she is my Chong Yue." The Holy Book Emperor said slowly but unshakably.

She looked at the crack in the neck of the jade statue, and her voice gradually became softer as if she was talking to herself: "I promised back then that I would take her back to Dasheng in three years, but three years later, I broke my promise to her..."

"My son single-handedly killed Beidi's coach, and because he didn't want to be a hostage, he killed himself with a sword... Whether as a mother or an emperor, I owe her a lot."

"I need to know now whether Chongyue is back, and whether I still have a chance to make up for it..." The Holy Book Emperor looked at Wujue: "I wonder if Master Wujue has a way to confirm it?"

Wujue thought attentively: "Sage, please allow the poor monk to think about it..."

The Holy Emperor nodded, and then looked at Cui Jing, who was standing aside without saying a word.

"Don't worry Cui Qing." She said in a gentle tone: "If the Chang family girl has Chong Yue's soul hidden in her body, I should make up for it and treat her kindly. If I just think too much, I have no reason to vent my anger on her, an innocent little girl. I just want to get the truth right now.”

The implication is that no matter what the truth is, it will not be detrimental to Chang Sui Ning.

Cui Jing: "Yes, I naturally understand the saint's meaning."

He is naturally willing to believe that a mother who has tried her best to bring her daughter back from the dead will not harbor any malice towards her daughter, but the human heart is never single, and the heart of an emperor is even more unpredictable...

The saint's words seemed to be addressed to him, but they were not meant to appease Master Wujue, so that Master Wujue would not have to worry about the Chang family girl being harmed and could calm down and come up with feasible solutions. , to help the saint test and confirm—

Sure enough, after a moment, Wujue spoke.

"The poor monk remembers what is contained in the old secret book, but there is indeed a method that can be indirectly confirmed..." Wu Jue said: "Maybe we can give it a try."

The Holy Emperor looked slightly shaken: "What method is it?"

Wu Jue said solemnly: "The magic formation in this tower was set up for the rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. If this formation has come true, and the Chang family girl really has the soul of the Eldest Princess in her body, then if she can enter this When she comes to the magic circle, she and the magic circle must have mutual feelings!"

Cui Jing's heart dropped, and a picture suddenly flashed before his eyes.

After returning from Hezhou, he once saw Chang Suining coming to Dayun Temple. When he came out of the pagoda, he saw her sitting not far outside the pagoda, her face turned pale, and she was obviously unwell...

Later, when she passed by him, she almost bumped into him again... Looking back now, she seemed to be avoiding something deliberately at that time.

So, is this actually the case?

The Holy Emperor looked at Wujue intently: "So, we only need to let the Chang family girls join the battle, and we can tell?"

Wujue clasped his hands together: "Back to the saint, that's right."

Good night everyone~
