A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles
Chapter 1011 - 875: The Old Case of Prince Qing’s Mansion
Ji Youyuan looked up at the sky, then supported Wang Dongxue and walked towards the room.
"This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Suisui is an anomaly in herself. Her abilities, especially in front of Xie Pan’Er who has the mandate of the nation’s mother, should be exercised with caution.
But to restrain or truly guide her, to help her distinguish right from wrong, apart from the Heart-Conceiving Art, she also needs to be bound by rules.
Unfortunately, Princess Lianchun, because she was manipulated by Xun Heng and Xunyang, and being born in a year, month, and hour of Yin, has walked the Underworld Road and crossed the Naihe Bridge, some of the Celestial Dao’s restraints of this world no longer apply to her."
Wang Dongxue listened, her heart pounding. "You mean, Princess Lianchun is no longer..."
"She has become someone outside the world. Ever since she walked the Wangchuan Road, her destiny and fate have changed. All of this is because of Suisui, so from now on, her fate is intertwined with Suisui’s. Teaching Suisui has become her responsibility!"
Wang Dongxue blinked, feeling like she couldn’t quite understand her husband anymore. How could he know so much?
"Husband! Are you really only cultivating at the level of a Grand Master?"
Ji Youyuan was surprised by Wang Dongxue’s question, and asked in wonder, "Why does my lady ask this?"
Wang Dongxue shook her head and chuckled softly, falling silent.
But Ji Youyuan understood that Wang Dongxue had probably seen through something. He wanted to explain but felt it unnecessary to do so. It was known that in this world, as long as the Array of Heaven was not deciphered, he couldn’t advance further!
A servant came to report that the seventh young master had returned.
Ji Youyuan was surprised, "Why did he suddenly come back?"
Wang Dongxue added, "The return of Old Seventh signifies that the matters in Yunhang are settled, right? This is a good thing!"
"My lady, you do not understand. The matters in Yunhang are incredibly complex. Even for me, it would be hard to resolve everything in such a short time.
Old Seventh’s sudden return might point to some hidden matters!"
As Ji Youyuan spoke, he laid Wang Dongxue on the bed, saying to her, "Rest well first, no matter what happens, don’t go out. I’ll go take a look!"
Ji Youyuan went to see Ji Youzhi.
At this time, Ji Youzhi was speaking with the old lady of the Ji family.
"It was His Majesty’s urgent summons. When I returned, I asked the eunuch who delivered the decree, he said it was because the Empress Dowager was worried about the truth of the lineage of Prince Qing, hence His Majesty summoned me back urgently to investigate and uncover the truth!"
Upon hearing Ji Youzhi’s words, the old lady of the Ji family frowned, "This is no small matter. The truth of Prince Qing’s lineage, do you have a conclusion?"
"How could I have a conclusion?
When Prince Qing passed, I was just a youngster, never having seen Prince Qing nor his son. How could I make such a conclusion?"
The old lady sighed, "I have met Prince Qing’s consort a few times. If I could see that..." The old lady thought for a long time, then turned to ask Ji Youzhi, "What is the child’s name?"
"Lu Yunsheng, he is now the only son of Minister Lu."
"The only son of Minister Lu?"
The old lady furrowed her brows in confusion, "Are you sure he is Minister Lu’s only son?"
Ji Youzhi nodded, "I am sure! He is indeed the only son of Minister Lu and also has some entanglement with Xie Pan’Er. You are aware of His Majesty’s severe injuries, right?"
The old lady nodded, "I’ve heard some of it. Matters of the Royal Family I dare not inquire into much, to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to you brothers!
Since you suddenly mention His Majesty’s injuries, could it be related to Prince Qing’s lineage issue?"
"You guessed correctly, it was Lu Yunsheng who struck His Majesty with a sword. He was influenced by Xunyang who implanted a Gu Insect in him and further led astray."
"He attempted regicide?" The old lady was greatly astonished, her heart pounding.
"He attempted to assassinate His Majesty, yet His Majesty still spared him. Truly, His Majesty is an enlightened ruler!"
Ji Youzhi chuckled lowly, "Old Eight has always said His Majesty will become an enlightened ruler, you should trust Old Eight’s insight!"
Mentioning Ji Old Eight, the old lady thought about the bell pendant Xiaosui wore around her neck.
That item appeared mysteriously.
"Hmm! Find an opportunity to let me see Lu Yunsheng. I need to ascertain whether he could be the child of Prince Qing’s consort!"
"Oh! Mother, can you use the Qi Observation Technique?
I always thought only Second Sister-in-law in our family could use the Qi Observation Technique."
