The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

C247 The Gate of Heaven is right and wrong

When Murong Yue walked out of the room, she saw Ling Xi standing at the doorway with an anxious expression on her face. She could not help but ask, "What happened?"

"I don't know either, he … After taking the medicine, he would be able to speak. After that, he very urgently wanted to see you. I said that he should first rest, but he didn't even want to rest for a while. Princess, you should go and take a look.

Uncle Zhang isn't the kind of person who doesn't care. Since he's so anxious, then there must be something important. " From her tone, there was also a trace of helplessness.

"What did the old man say to you?" Mu Ru Yue frowned.

Hearing this, Ling Xi's expression dimmed. Shaking her head, she said, "He would never tell me about that, so she probably doesn't trust me." In my uncle's eyes, I'm just a silly little girl. Wangfei, let's go see him first. "

"Yes." Murong Yue pondered for a moment. In her heart, she felt that Uncle Zhang wasn't willing to tell many things to Ling Xi, perhaps because he didn't want Ling Xi to get involved in his troubles. One must know that she wasn't blind. The relationship between Ling Xi and Uncle Zhang definitely wouldn't be this simple.

However, since Ling Xi and Uncle Zhang trusted her, she naturally had to trust others as well. As for the private matters of others, if she didn't have to ask, she could just pretend that she didn't know anything. Following which, Ling Xi once again entered the underground space.

Mu Ru Yue frowned even more. "I think it's better to bring Uncle Zhang out of here later. I feel that this place is really strange and will only be used to lure water in the future. Don't ever use this place as a secret place again."

"Do tell this wangfei to him. Even if I did, he wouldn't listen. All these years, Uncle has already gotten used to it, and looks at this place more important than his own life. " Ling Xi helplessly said.

Mu Ru Yue naturally knew. If it wasn't for that, Uncle Zhang wouldn't have started a conflict with the Nalan family. Moreover, this place was indeed related to his life. Let's talk about this later. Mu Ru Yue thought.

Soon, they arrived at the place with the hot spring. Uncle Zhang was sitting on the couch. Seeing that Mu Ru Yue had arrived, she hurriedly got up and said with a trembling voice, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my old bones."

"If you really want to thank me, you might as well take good care of your body. After you woke up like this, you ignored your body and wanted to see me. Aren't you taking my concern over me a little too seriously? " Mu Ru Yue said helplessly.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang smiled wryly. "If it is possible, this old man would like to take a good rest as well. But, wangfei, this matter is very important, this old man does not dare to be negligent."

"Oh?" Mu Ru Yue's expression darkened as well.

"Ling Xi, go wait at the front." Old Uncle Zhang swept a glance at Ling Xi before commanding.

"Why?" Ling Xi looked at Uncle Zhang in disbelief. Wasn't she the only family he had left? Why couldn't he let her know even the most important things? She had already brought Mu Ru Yue here!

"I told you to go up, so go up!" Uncle Zhang said with a bit of anger. She was so excited that she even started to cough. Seeing this, Ling Xi naturally did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly said: "I'll head up right now. Don't get too excited." Saying that, she quickly left.

Murong Yue looked thoughtfully at Ling Xi's back as she was basically certain that Uncle Zhang didn't want Ling Xi to get involved in his own matters. From the looks of it, the Heaven Gate trial wasn't aiming for her treasure map.

"Now that Ling Xi has left, old uncle, can you tell me about it now?" Mu Ru Yue's attitude was indifferent. Hearing this, Uncle Zhang replied with guilt, "In reply, Royal Consort, please don't mind this old man sending Ling Xi over. After all, there are some things that are unsuitable for her to know."

"No worries, everyone will have their own selfish thoughts. Moreover, if I let Ling Xi hear about it, maybe this wangfei won't be able to rest at ease." Mu Ru Yue said half-jokingly.

Uncle Zhang knew that this was what Murong Yue had told him to be relieved about. Looking at the Seventh Princess who was dressed like a man, he sighed. "Princess, do you still remember the map I gave her back then?"

"Naturally. I'm afraid that someone has come looking for you because of this map. " Mu Ru Yue replied calmly. After all, he had already guessed the gist of it from Nalan Ruo. It was impossible for people from the Heaven Gate to appear for no reason.

"Yes, because of the map in my hand. Back then, when I, this old man, narrowly escaped death, snatched this treasure map away, I had originally thought that I would one day be able to comprehend the secret within, but who would have thought that I was too stupid. "

"Secret?" Mu Ru Yue was stunned.

"Yeah, it's said that on every treasure map, there will be clues about the next map." However, the old man had never been able to find him. That was why he gave it to the princess. I thought this matter was completely out of touch with me. Unexpectedly … Those people came to find us and brought up the treasure map again. " Having said this, Uncle Zhang began to cough again.

Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly as she waited for him to continue.

"Esteemed wangfei, you don't know what kind of place the Heaven Gate is? Right now, the so-called Gate of Heaven was actually just a bunch of evil people who did whatever they wanted. For the sake of the treasures of the past, they would risk everything.

This old man said that the treasure map has already been sent out. During this period of time, you must stay far away from the south side of the city. "Otherwise …" As Uncle Zhang spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Calm down. The poison in your body has yet to be treated. It's just that it has been relieved." Mu Ru Yue sat on the bed with Uncle Zhang by her side. He frowned, "Uncle, you're wrong."

"Wrong?" Uncle Zhang was stunned.

"That's right, people from the Heaven Gate are not omnipotent. Moreover, it was not clear who these people were. I've met quite a few people who claimed to be from the Heaven Gate, but their ways of doing things and their temperament are completely different from others.

Therefore, I suspect that many people secretly used the name of the Gate of Heaven. As for the person who came to find you, I don't know who it was, but … There were many rumours that there were treasures hidden in the Peach Blossom Forest, and I had unraveled the secret of the Peach Blossom Forest. This is no secret.

Even now, no one has come to find me. This means that they still have some considerations for me. Since I have already become your master, I should be the one to vent my anger on you. Otherwise, if this master were to do it, wouldn't he be laughing? "

As Mu Ru Yue spoke, a trace of darkness flashed past her eyes. He could barely suppress the rage in his heart.

There was no one who wouldn't be angry when an old man who was loyal to them turned out like this.

"Esteemed wangfei …" Uncle Zhang didn't expect that Mu Ru Yue wouldn't give up on him.

"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. These medicine are more than enough for you to stay alive for a period of time. During this time, I will prepare the antidote so that you will be fine. Moreover, the Southern District will have to rely on you in the future. " Mu Ru Yue asked gently.

"Yes, even if this old man were to risk his life, he wouldn't let you down." Old Uncle Zhang said excitedly. Once he got excited, he started coughing again.

"You have never let me down, so don't be too demanding on yourself. If anything happens in the future, you have to immediately inform me, not like this. If Ling Xi hadn't come to find me, I'm afraid that you would have already decided to go, right? " Mu Ru Yue said helplessly in her heart.

Uncle Zhang was good at everything except for one thing … She always felt that this person had lived enough. Compared to when he was originally concerned about this place, Uncle Zhang seemed to have let it go.

"I, this old man, have struggled for so many years, and it's just that I can't let that little girl Ling Xi go. Now that the little girl is with you, this old man, if there's anything I can do for the imperial concubine, I'll just die." Old Uncle Zhang sighed.

Indeed. Murong Yue sighed in her heart. She looked him deeply in the eye and said, "But you've never thought about whether or not Miss Ling Xi would be willing to use your life to exchange for her own life."
