Mu Zheng said: "Your Highness, can you find the man named Wu Xuanye? I want to return my mother's bones to him, even if they are buried together. I think this is what my mother wants to see."
Yuan Chen nodded and said: "Chu Heng is in southern Xinjiang. I will ask him to inquire about Wu Xuanye. If he is found, I will make arrangements."
"Thank you."
Mu Zheng thanked him.
Yuan Chen folded the letter and handed it to him, but Mu Zheng did not accept it. He said: "I will ask His Highness the Prince to keep this letter for you. If Wu Xuanye is still alive, give it to him. If he is no longer here, I will give it to him."
, and was buried in front of his grave."
"good."
Yuan Chen put the letter away and said: "General Mu, don't be too sad. After all, your father, Zun Lingtang, has passed away. There may be another way to make up for the regrets in the past life, so you don't have to be too sentimental."
Mu Zheng sighed and said: "I know that my mother's life has been too miserable. If there is an afterlife, I hope she can find Wu Xuanye and never be separated from him again."
After a pause, he continued: "I wonder where the Gu Palace in Southern Xinjiang is?"
Yuan Chen said: "It is a forbidden area in Southern Xinjiang, and it protects the existence of Southern Xinjiang. I heard that there is the most precious Gu King in Southern Xinjiang in the Gu King's Palace, which can summon all kinds of beasts, and can cure all kinds of poisons and diseases.
It’s just that the Gu King needs women to feed him with blood, and the woman who feeds the Gu King is not allowed to get married, and must stay in the Gu King’s palace for the rest of her life.”
Mu Zheng felt that this thing was a bit evil. If it weren't for this thing, his mother would not have lost her freedom.
He said: "Your Highness, I hope that one day you can take over southern Xinjiang, abolish Gu Palace, and rescue more innocent women like my mother."
"Yes."
Yuan Chen's expression was firm. There were countless innocent women buried in a Gu palace.
Wen Qian is definitely not the first.
He comforted Mu Zheng a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.
Mu Rufeng saw him out of the house.
Yuan Chen felt that he was particularly quiet today, so he asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Rufeng didn't know either. He just felt very sad after hearing his grandmother's story.
He leaned against the stone lion in front of the door and sighed: "Even if you don't hear that lovers can't be together, this person is still my grandmother.
Although I have never met her, from her name I can tell she is a very resolute and gentle woman.
And that man named Wu Xuanye, how did he feel when you said that my grandmother had lied to her? What consequences would he suffer if he let the saint go?"
Yuan Chen also thought that from the beginning to the end, Wu Xuanye didn't know that Wen Qian was approaching him intentionally.
Being betrayed by the one he loved must have hurt his heart a lot, but it's been fifty or sixty years now, so I'm afraid that man is long gone, right?
And can he still know the truth? He knows that the person Wen Qian likes has always been him.
Yuan Chen suppressed his thoughts, reached out and patted Mu Rufeng's shoulder and said, "I will ask Chu Heng to inquire carefully about Wu Xuanye's affairs in southern Xinjiang. Just stop thinking about it and go back early to rest."
Mu Rufeng nodded and asked, "Shall His Highness return to the Prince's Mansion or the Duke's Mansion?"
Yuan Chen said: "What are you going back to the Prince's Mansion for? It's deserted and there's no one there, so of course I'm going back to the Duke's Mansion to find Jialan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell hanging on his waist rang.
Yuan Chen hurriedly said: "I won't tell you anymore, Jialan misses me."
After leaving these words, he disappeared on the street like a gust of wind.
