Chapter 192 Secret Meeting
The 32nd year of Dingzong, May 20. After three days of difficult production, Yi Chuwan gave birth to a prince and took the name Zi Ran. Seven days later, on May 27th, he was canonized as King Xia, pardoned the world, and celebrated the 10th day together. In those ten days, the whole cloudy night sky was illuminated by gorgeous fireworks, like day. I vaguely remember that 30 years ago, there was such a grand celebration, when Empress Yun gave birth to her first prince, Xia Yan.
Looking at the gorgeous fireworks that lit up the sky, Xia Kang's heart was full of resentment and anger. Is it just because he is the direct prince that he can get such an honor? What did you get after more than ten years of war? Identity, identity, what about the concubine? Should the concubine be full of cold eyes and ridicule?
"Are you unwilling?" I don't know when Li Rongrong held a fan and walked slowly behind Xia Kang, "Why do you want to be treated like that if you are the son of a concubine?"
"What can you know about me?"
"I don't know you, but I know your ambition. How can a person as arrogant as you be willing to bow down?
Xia Kang turned around and turned against the light. He didn't distinguish between joy and anger: "What do you want to say?"
"What you think, I will say." Li Rongrong walked to the seat parallel to Xia Kang and stopped. "Actually, your father... is not as imhuman as you think. He loves you."
"Don't you...don't you think it's ridiculous to say this sentence out of your mouth?"
"Yes, it's ridiculous to say this sentence out of my mouth." Li Rongrong took a few more steps and turned to look directly at Xia Kang. "Listen, the only thing you can trust is the emperor."
"Who the hell are you?"
"Killer." The two words seem to be joking, but there is unquestionable calmness.
"Whose killer?"
"What do you think?" Li Rongrong raised the corners of her mouth and slightly flattered him. "I just said that the only thing you can trust is the emperor. So who do you think I am?"
"Are you sent by your father? But you are not..."
"I'm not a masterpiece of the State of Chu. To be precise, I'm not Li Jingluo's biological daughter, but theirs. Wu couldn't have children, so he adopted me in order to be less lonely. Li Rongrong said, "Do you know who your father really wants to kill?"
"Would you like to say it?"
Li Rongrong stretched out her hands, gently wrapped them around Xia Kang's neck, raised her feet, and whispered, "Murong Lingyue."
"What?" Xia Kang pushed away Li Rongrong's arm and looked shocked, "Do you think your father is going to kill Ling Yue?"
"Yes, once Murong Lingyue finds the treasure left by Shen Haorong, your father will kill her."
"If so, what if you can't find the treasure?"
"If you can't find the treasure, your father will kill her." Li Rongrong said quietly, "Everyone thinks that the treasure left by Shen Haoran is a lifelong wealth, and a few people who know the inside story think that it is the jade unicorn that can be obtained from the world, but in fact, the treasure left by Shen Haoran is a box."
"Box?"
"Yes, it's a box." Li Rongrong said, "According to rumors, that box can travel through time and space and transcend life and death."
"Nonsense." Xia Kang has always believed in this kind of ghost and god theory.
"Nonsense? I also hope it's nonsense." Li Rongrong smiled and said, "Do you believe that there are people in the world who can live immortally?"
"What on earth are you trying to say?"
"I'll take you to meet two people, and you will understand what I mean."
In the dark room, a woman in a black robe lay on a pile of dry grass. Not far from the woman, stood a feminine and handsome teenager. The teenager was motionless like a sculpture. It was not until the iron door made a heavy sound that his eyes moved slightly. After seeing the people coming clearly Oh, it drooped again.
The woman lying on the haystack seemed to use all her strength to get up, half leaning against the already dark wall, and smiling at the person in the extremely pale room. But Xia Kang did not notice the woman with a pale smile, but looked at the motionless teenager with a shocked face and was speechless for a long time.
seemed to notice Xia Kang's eyes. The teenager who had been standing raised his head and looked at the woman half leaning against the wall. Xia Kang's eyes also fell on the woman with the teenager: "Are you?"
"Third prince, long time no see."
"We? Do you know?" Xia Kang tried to recall, but he still didn't remember where he had seen this woman. But I don't know why the woman's eyes reminded him of a person, Murong Lingyue.
"She is the president of the Supervisory Yuan." Li Rongrong said, "The one next to him is Liuye."
"Hmm?"
"Maybe I didn't understand enough. She was the last president of the Supervisory Yuan, and he was another night."
"I don't understand."
Li Rongrong said, "She was the last president of the Supervision Institute who came to Linyun 40 years ago, but looking at her, she is clearly only in her 20s. But she is indeed the dean who came to Linyun 40 years ago.
"Why do you say that?" Xia Kang naturally understood the meaning of Li Rongrong's words. If that woman really came to the president of the Supervision Institute in Linyun 40 years ago, that is to say, the dean will not grow old. How can there be people in the world who will not grow old? "How can you be sure that she is the dean?"
"I'm not sure, but your father."
"Father is crazy."
"No, your father is not crazy." Su Rou looked at Xia Kang with a faint smile and said quietly, "I am indeed the president of the Supervision Institute who came to Linyun 40 years ago."
"Impossible. How can there be immortals in this world?"
"You're right. How can there be immortals in this world?" Su Rou said, "But I'm not a person in the world, at least not here. Your father has been chasing the box that can transcend life and death all his life. Ha ha, for this reason, he did not hesitate to imprison me here.
"Father? Imprisoned you?"
"That's right. This is the seventh time. Forget it, you can't understand me." Su Rou said, "Li Rongrong, no matter what, you have to find a way to help him ascend the throne. Only in this way can I leave this damn place."
"Yes, Dean."
Xia Kang looked at Li Rongrong and Su Rou in a frenze. He didn't know what had happened, but he vaguely felt that he seemed to be involved in some conspiracy. At this moment, he just wants to go to the mirror and listen to his opinions or ideas. As if she had seen through Xia Kang's thoughts, Su Rou smiled and said, "Do you want to go to Jing Wuying? Ha ha, he is also from the inspectorate, but it's understandable if you go to him.
"Is Mirrorless a member of the Supervision Institute?" This time, Xia Kang was almost speechless.
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Su Rou said, "Although the state of Chu's detailed work is all over the world, who has ever known that my supervision institute is also full of eyes and ears, rivers, lakes, chambers of commerce, and the court? Or, if the supervisory authority that scares everyone is just an ordinary intelligence agency, how can it mobilize the soldiers and horses of the whole world in one night? King Kang, you are a smart person, and even your father chooses to be on my side. Why do you have to be stubborn?
"Stand on your side?" Xia Kang heard the meaning of Su Rou's words and asked tentatively, "Isn't it that your father wants to kill Ling Yue? But you?"
"Yes, that's true." Su Rou said, "I really want to kill Murong Lingyue, but I can't kill her in person. I can't explain the reason to you, so I can only borrow your father's hand, so your father took this to blackmail me and imprisoned me here, and the exchange condition is the treasure left by Shen Haoran."
"Is that the only box that can travel through time and space and transcend life and death?"
Su Rou nodded without objection.
"Don't you think what you said is ridiculous?" Xia Kang said, "There is no such box in the world, and the reason why you won't grow old is just because you have practiced some demons. In the Kingdom of Jin, there are many women who are not old, and those women who cut off their skin with knives are not without."
