"Jin Lian, pass on this palace order! Everyone has been running around for days, waiting for another day of repair tomorrow, and then set off to Jiangdu City to meet the so-called lawless Jiangdu Magistrate Lu! Qing! Ping!"
Shang Yuchen, dressed in black clothes, stood with one hand clasped behind his back, swinging his long and wide sleeves with one hand, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Yes! Let's go now!"
Jin Lian nodded and clasped his fists, quickly walking towards the door.
"Everyone is also tired. Let's go back and rest first. We will discuss the flood issue tomorrow." Gu Yunshu added at the end, "Zhen'er, you and Gu Jiang stay here."
"I'll take my leave first, Your Highness, please rest early."
"My subordinates resign."
The prince's staff and the ministers in casual clothes said their goodbyes and left. The officers and soldiers outside the door also took Magistrate Tao and Master Sun away.
Tang Yinchen rubbed his sore eyes, bowed to Yang Huanzhi and then withdrew.
Young Master Qi stretched and yawned. He was obviously very sleepy, but he didn't want to leave.
Now, apart from the five of them, the only ones in the house who still refused to leave were Mo Chen and Yu Zhu.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed. Shang Yuchen sat back in front of the desk, rubbed his brows, and continued to think about building the dam, but he was obviously a little absent-minded, obviously waiting for Su Zhen and Gu Yunshu to give him an explanation.
But Su Zhen still hasn't figured out how Gu Yunshu became A Zhan's uncle.
Adopted sister? He once said that she was his only relative.
When he caught a glimpse of Gu Yunshu raising his hand to set up a barrier, and then looked at the face that was 90% familiar to Xiao Chuhong's, his heart skipped a beat and fell into the abyss.
Among her pile of blank memory fragments, is it possible that she and that stinky fox Chu Moxuan really had a child?
That’s ridiculous!
Hey, that’s not right, then she wouldn’t be stupid enough to give A Zhan his last name Jiang! Even if his last name is not ‘Chu’, he should be named after her!
Gu Yunshu watched her expression keep changing and knew that she was making wild guesses again.
"What are you doing standing here? Aren't you tired?" Shang Yuchen glanced at them and said.
Su Zhen smiled when she heard this. It turned out that their Crown Prince sometimes had quarrels in his heart. Seeing him like this, he seemed quite down-to-earth.
After the prince said so, Su Zhen, who was always cheeky, sat down directly, and Mo Chen and Yu Zhu also sat beside her on the left and right.
"Mr. Dongli, is he really your nephew?" Su Zhen was the first to ask.
"Um!"
"Where did you get your nephew? No, where did you get your adopted sister?"
"She's not my adopted sister, she's Jinse's."
"Huh? What?!"
Su Zhen was confused again and raised her hand to point to her nose, but looking at the other person's face, she silently lowered her hand.
"Do you know about the Winged Mermaid Tribe?"
"Ah? What tribe? Winged mermaids?! Never heard of them."
Su Zhen shook her head, but she remembered those strange scenes in the memory fragments she had retrieved. Those flying mermaids, could they be the winged mermaids?
"The Winged Mermaid Tribe, as the name suggests, has a human body with a fish tail and giant wings on its back. They live in the deep sea and soar in the sky. They were born in the ancient times and are bloody and cruel. They like to eat human flesh and are good at cooking it and recreating its bones.
According to legend, they were originally the race closest to the gods, but because their cultivation methods were too cruel, they encountered divine punishment when they ascended, and the entire race was seriously injured.
The other races came after hearing the benefits, took the opportunity to seize the treasure, skinned and dismantled their bones, cut out the Yuanzhu, and extracted their spiritual power.
Because the Winged Mermaid tribe provoked too much resentful spirit, the Yuanzhu was infected, and those who used it exploded and died."
Su Zhen's pupils dilated and she covered her violently beating heart. She seemed to have remembered something, but also seemed not to have remembered anything.
"Qingxian, Awen, please! Take Zhan'er away! We must save him!"
A woman's crying voice sounded in her ears, and Su Zhen vaguely saw a beautiful woman with orange-pink glazed eyes with tears in her eyes, and handed her an egg glowing with blue light.
Huh? Mermaid children come out of eggshells?
Afterwards, Su Zhen's ears were buzzing. She rubbed her sore ears, suddenly came back to her senses, and blurted out, "Mr. Dongli, I... I just seemed to have seen Zhan'er's mother."
"Mother? Does A-Zhan also have a mother? Uncle, didn't you say that A-Zhan came out of a stone? What are you talking about? Winged mermaid? What is that?"
Gu Yunshu held back the pain in his eyes and said, "Azhan, remember, your father is a peerless hero, he is the king of the deep sea, and his name is unworthy."
"What about A-Zhan's mother?"
"Your mother... is one of the rare beauties in the six realms. Jinse controls demons and defies the common people, and Youshui conquers the world with her song. Your mother's name is Youshui. Her graceful
His singing voice is unique in the world, and anyone who hears his singing voice will never be able to hear anyone else's voice again."
"Wuwang? Youshui? Father? Mother?" A Zhan murmured with confused eyes.
Su Zhen also recited "You Shui" silently several times. It was obviously very familiar to her, but she couldn't remember it.
"Mr. Dongli, that A-Zhan's face..."
Why are they 90% similar to Chu Moxuan?
When she said the second half of the sentence, Su Zhen felt flustered for no reason. The words came to her lips, but she couldn't say them out.
Gu Yunshu frowned, not knowing how to speak.
"What's the matter? Mr. Dongli? What can't you say?"
"That's because the demon emperor cut off his own tail and saved the life of A Zhan, who was born weak."
Su Zhen's hand unconsciously touched Jin Xuan. She didn't want to admit it, and she didn't want to admit it, but it seemed that she was really wrong.
Jinxuan...Jinse...Chu Moxuan...
Just as Chu Moxuan said, Jinxuan was willing to be used by her, but refused to recognize him as her master.
Jinxuan is a magic weapon to control demons, but Chu Moxuan can blow it.
And on the brocade seal, there is a pattern of a nine-tailed fox.
It turns out that Chu Moxuan's tenth tail was broken off because of A Zhan.
"Why...why did he want to save A-Zhan?" Su Zhen asked slowly.
"He said, why not cut off the fox's tail to make a smile for Bo Jiaren?"
Su Zhen pursed her lips, trying her best to hide the uneasiness flowing from her heart to her whole body, "What happened next? Why was A-Zhan sealed in the ice coffin of the Trichosanthes?"
"I don't know." Gu Yunshu replied truthfully.
"Um?"
"Chu Moxuan and the demon master Jinse disappeared with the adult A Zhan. Since then, no one has seen them again."
Gu Yunshu's words were ambiguous, but he didn't say anything. He didn't know whether it was to avoid exposing Su Zhen's true identity, or... he deliberately didn't want to tell her.
"What about A-Zhan, do you still remember what happened?"
"Sister Jin'er and Brother Xuan hid A Zhan in the black ice. They said they would take A Zhan home soon. A Zhan waited and waited, waited and waited, but Sister Jin'er and Brother Xuan hid A Zhan in the black ice.
Brother Xuan never showed up, so A-Zhan fell asleep."
As he said this, A-Zhan scratched his head and smiled shyly and harmlessly.
"However, when A Zhan opens his eyes again, he will see..."
"cough!"
Su Zhen coughed at an inappropriate time, and A Zhan realized that he was about to say the wrong thing, so he covered his mouth with both hands and stopped speaking. This chapter has been completed!
