When the Dongning case was settled, they once found a piece of paper from the darkroom where Mingsan was hiding.
There were large and small circles drawn on that piece of paper. Mingwei didn't understand the meaning before, so she asked Duofu to put it away.
This thing didn't look like a secret, so the master and servant didn't think about it for a long time.
It was easy for the two of them to find it, so they found it.
"Miss, what do you want this for?" Duofu was very surprised.
"You'll find out later." Mingwei placed the white paper on the wool roll, aligned both ends, then picked it up and faced the light.
The light shines in from the end of the extremely soft tanned sheepskin, reflecting a faint light.
So they clearly saw that the circles on the drawing corresponded to several places on the picture.
"As expected." Mingwei said, "Bring me the charcoal."
"yes."
When she drew the corresponding positions of the circles on the parchment scroll, everything became clear.
"No wonder I couldn't figure it out for so long. It turns out the secret lies in this picture." Ming smiled and flicked the parchment.
Duofu leaned over to take a look: "Miss, these places are places with dense earth energy, right?"
"To be precise, it is the place where dragon energy gathers." Mingwei pulled out a map from the book. She got it from Yang Shu. Ordinary people cannot possess such a secret.
"Look at this picture again." Mingwei pointed at each point, "This is Yingyang, this is Yunjing, and this is Changning, they are all ancient capitals. In addition, there are dragon veins..."
She counted them one by one and finally stopped at a point.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Duofu asked, seeing the confusion on her face.
Ming Wei said: "Look at these circles, except for the mountains and rivers, they all correspond to towns in the Northern Qi. Only this circle is in the territory of the Southern Chu."
"Huh?"
The charcoal pencil slid across the map and finally stopped at a point: "Yidu?"
...
"Yidu?" Yang Shu said, "This is not the capital of Southern Chu. Why is this the only place painted in Southern Chu?"
"I feel strange too." Mingwei has been thinking about it all night. She always feels that this is a special place.
Yang Shu glanced at her several times and said, "Why do I have a bad premonition?"
Mingwei raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
He said, "You don't want to go and see it for yourself, do you?"
Mingming smiled slightly but didn't answer him.
Yang Shu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I can't leave Yunjing now. You can't leave alone. I'm not worried."
Mingwei said softly: "There are only a few people in the world who can do anything to trouble me."
"That's true." Yang Shu emphasized, "What's more, we have fallen out with Xing Gong now, and the man in Tsing Yi is as good as you in every aspect, and his martial arts is even better than yours. I don't trust you to leave alone."
His tone was very firm.
Mingwei said: "I didn't say I was leaving, why are you in such a hurry?"
Yang Shu glanced sideways: "You dare to say you haven't thought about it?"
"Haha." Of course...I've thought about it.
However, now is really not the time to leave. Fu Jin plans to temporarily cultivate his moral character, Xuan Fei has been banned again, General Zong has been ordered to leave the capital, and Yang Shu does not have many manpower around him now. If she leaves him alone in Yunjing,
If something happens, there is no help.
"Don't worry, if I want to leave, I will definitely tell you."
"No." Yang Shu corrected, "It should be that if you want to leave, you must get my permission."
Mingwei coaxed him: "Okay, okay, whatever you say will be whatever it is."
She needs to be coaxed first. If there is really a reason to leave, she can still sneak away!
The two were talking when Xiaotong came over to report.
"Your Highness, the palace said that the imperial concubine's birthday is coming soon and a birthday banquet will be held this year."
Yang Shu thought about it: "Is this the Empress' birthday this year?"
"Yes!" Xiaotong said with a smile, "Eunuch Cui said that your Majesty feels pity for the empress. There are too many things going on recently, so he wanted to hold a birthday banquet to celebrate her birthday."
Yang Shu didn't want to attend any birthday banquet. Such occasions were only for others to see. From Concubine Pei's heart, he knew that that kind of celebration had no meaning to her.
But he couldn't refuse. This was a sacred order. Even if the concubine was not happy, she still had to pretend to be happy and accept this "good intention".
"I understand, there's still half a month left, right? We have to prepare a birthday gift. You can help me think about it and go look for it outside."
Xiaotong blinked: "What kind of thing does Your Highness want?"
"Of course, the more expensive it is, the better. It's best to shock everyone when you take it out."
Xiaotong didn't quite understand the intention, but seeing how confident he was, she agreed: "Okay, I'll go and do it then!"
While peeling the oranges, Yang Shu said to Mingwei: "This gift is for others to see. Naturally, the more expensive it is, the better. Now that the crown prince and King Xin are dead, the aunt in the harem is the only one who favors me. I'm afraid this birthday banquet will be a competition."
Given the occasion, of course I have to go with the flow."
Mingwei opened her mouth and ate the orange he handed her, then replied, "Then should I also prepare one?"
Yang Shu smiled and said, "Of course you have to prepare. You will definitely enter the palace when the time comes." He added, "Don't prepare expensive things. It is best to prepare something novel and interesting to show your sincerity."
As he spoke, he winked at her.
Mingwei smiled slightly: "You want to make me stand out again, don't you?"
Yang Shu's expression remained unchanged: "Isn't this good? If your aunt values you, others won't dare to miss me."
Ming Wei smiled.
You are really thinking of a child. Do you think that this way, the marriage will not be cancelled?
Yang Shu still refused to give up: "Look, fate is really ethereal. Xuan Fei was obviously a demon star, but didn't he end up on that path in the end? You also said that the demon star's light dimmed, which means he really understood it.
According to what you said, Xuan Fei had to bear a lot of responsibility for the Chao Gang chaos in Qi. Even such a big thing can be changed. It doesn't matter whether there is a destiny star or not, right?"
Eat oranges tomorrow.
Yang Shu came to the other side and said, "Look at senior brother again, you said that he would only get the Master's Talisman back after a few years, and his lifespan was very short. But this time, he did not spend his lifespan to suppress the evil spirits, that is, he would not be able to return to the evil spirit.
If he can live for a long time, his destiny will also change, right?"
Mingwei finished eating and took another one.
Yang Shu took it and continued peeling it off: "Of course, the most important thing is me! If according to the original history, I would have wandered around the world with my senior brother by now, right? I wouldn't have lived such a peaceful life, and even recognized my aunt.
, there are even so many people helping me. If such a big thing can be changed, why can’t you?"
Mingwei said: "It's not impossible..."
"That's it?" Yang Shu cut off the second half of her sentence and said happily, "Then let's quickly set a date? It's too troublesome to make excuses for meetings now!"
Ming Wei continued the second half of the sentence: "...The risk is too great. At least until we succeed, I won't consider it."
"Uh..." He suddenly fainted.
Ming smiled slightly and poked him: "But you are right, maybe things have changed, and I don't have to worry too much about cause and effect. Wait a minute, if that opportunity really comes, it means God is willing to give me a chance.
