Phoenix Returns - C66

Yu Wuyou found that Xue Wuhen was looking at Chu Shiyu incorrectly on the stage, it was a gaze that doubted her identity.

To him and Chu Shiyu, this trip was not something they could reveal. Fortunately, Xueran was in the distant north, so many things did not spread to her that quickly.

Or perhaps it could be said that no one had spread the news of Luo Qing’s matter to Xue Lan. At most, it was a sensational Spirit Fox auction.

As for Yu Wu You, Xue Wu Hen would never know about it because Yu Wu You and War Shock had never announced it to the public. Hence, the various countries would never know that Yu Wu You was the Prince of South Landing, War Shock Shock Ao.

Master Chu followed the eunuch to the backyard of the Ministry of Rites. Xue Wu Hen had already prepared some dishes and wine in the pavilion in the backyard.

Seeing that Master Chu had arrived, Xue Wu Hen stood up and went up to him with a smile. “Lady Luo Qing, please take a seat!”

“I wonder what business does Your Highness have with Luo Qing?” She asked bluntly.

Xue Wuhen smiled and said, “Actually, there’s nothing important in finding this lady. Other than admiring her zither skills, there’s also this lady’s …” He paused for a moment before raising his hand to send off the maids and eunuchs who served him from both sides.

Seeing the hidden meaning in his words, Master Chu knew that what he had said today was extraordinary.

During the Zither battle just now, Xue Wuhen clearly knew that it was her little fox playing, but he didn’t expose her.

Moreover, Qiao Lan was a woman from the Snowy Orchid Country’s Prime Minister’s Office, so it was not a secret that she had a Magus Gu. When Xue Wu Hen saw the butterfly, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

However, he didn’t know whether this invitation was for the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox or the butterfly.

“Luo Qing still needs to thank Your Highness for helping Luo Qing win the competition today. However, it seems like the battle between Qiao Lan and I was deliberately arranged by Your Highness.”

“I didn’t help the girl what? It’s just that I have something that I want to ask you.

Chu Shiyu gazed at him with a puzzled expression. Was he really just interested in her zither skills?

“My zither skill was taught as an ordinary zither master. That zither master gave Luoqing two years, and afterwards, he figured out the playing method. “If Your Highness is interested in that zither master, Luo Qing can refer you to him. He lives in the Heavenly Master North Zhao, Old mister Zhang Xian Chong of the Li Mansion.”

The moment the words left his mouth, Xue Wuhen sighed. That old mister Zhang Xian Chong was a famous zither master, and he had heard of him before. However, he was not the person that Royal Grandmother was looking for.

“So that’s how it is. I have also heard of old mister Zhang Xian Chong’s great name, but he has an outstanding zither skill and is a rarely seen peak zither master. You being fortunate enough to teach under him is also a blessing.”

“Of course!”

Seeing his disappointed eyes, Chu Shiyu had already guessed a bit, he was definitely trying to find some other information.

Xue Wuhen wanted to speak up several times, but he failed. In the end, he kept silent.

Maybe this Lady Luo Qing didn’t even know that person.

After sending off Chu Shiyu, Xue Wuhen sighed and boarded the carriage heading back to the palace.

Returning to the Fox Hunting Restaurant, Master Chu said to Yu Wuyou, “Something must have happened to Xue Lan. Today, I saw Xue Wuhen’s face looking depressed and anxious, as if something big happened in the palace. This time, I suddenly have to seek out a famous musician from the entire country to offer my congratulations to the grand imperial concubine.

“How do you know?” Yu Wuyou asked.

“Because I met the Imperial Advisor from the Heavenly Stardust Continent who had just returned from the West Ridge. This Imperial Advisor’s kung fu is very high and he holds the power and authority of the imperial government of the Snowy Orchid Empire.” You said that he could even handle the matters of the Xuelan Kingdom’s Emperor, Xue Feiyang’s regime, with his consent. I’m afraid that it’s not that simple for such a person to be able to control an emperor. ”

Yu Wuyou thought for a moment and said with furrowed brows, “If there’s something wrong with Xue Lan, then I’m afraid the reason I’m recruiting a zither master this time is because I found the long-lost Nightmare Tactic. After the war at the western border, someone came to the south to ask about you, and the person who was most concerned about you the most was to find out where your master was. After that, because royal father didn’t want to make things big, he executed those people in private and also covered up the matter. Now that I think about it, I just remembered. ”

The destructive power of the Nightmare Qin Mantra could destroy a city with a flick of a finger. It had an invisible and fatal effect on the enemy. In the face of Xue Lan’s internal crisis, it was common for her to search for the Nightmare Qin Mantra.

But how could they be sure that they would be able to find the successor of the Nightmare Tactic?

However, these were only the speculations of Master Chu and Yu Wuyou. They were not clear about the situation in the palace, and if they started with Tian Chen’s teacher, it might be the opposite.

Maybe the imperial family of Snowy Orchid discovered some clues and intentionally lured them away. He couldn’t stand on the wrong side of the line now. It might bring disaster to his body.

The two of them quietly waited for the birthday banquet that was going to take place in six days. By that time, Imperial Advisors as well as many powerful ministers would all be present.

They were able to see through some flaws. If something were to happen to Xue Lan, it would be better. At the very least, the chances of the two winning would be higher.

Six days had passed. Finally, the grand imperial concubine’s birthday had arrived. The women from all the officials’ families, court officials, and vassal lords had gathered in the imperial palace.

Not to mention that this was the first time they had seen such a grand feast, even the various empires only saw it once every few years.

Master Chu and Yu Wuyou brought their identity tokens with them, and the maidservants who were leading the way entered the palace. They were only musicians during the banquet, and did not have the qualifications to sit near the monarch.

He could only sit at the last corner of the room. Although he could see the crowd at the end of the room, it was too far away for the cave to know what those people were thinking.

However, the location was not easy to attract attention to. It was more convenient to speak and act accordingly.

When the Old Star King’s grand imperial concubine appeared, everyone kneeled down and paid their respects. Only then did they hear the eunuch’s loud shout.

“The grand imperial concubine’s birthday feast is about to begin, cheer up …”

The sound of the drum shook the entire hall, and the singing and dancing went smoothly. How awe-inspiring, but the king of the Kingdom of Xue Lan seemed to smile perfunctorily every time.

The Imperial Advisors had the feeling that he was the ruler of the world, while the emperor was the first to show courtesy.

Halfway through the dance music, he suddenly heard a congratulatory gift from the envoy outside the hall.

When Xue Feiyang heard that the large warehouse had sent over a congratulatory gift, he was startled. He glanced at the Imperial Advisor, and Tian Chen gave him a meaningful look as he heard Xue Feiyang bring his envoy into the great hall.

When she was called into the hall, she saw Seventh Princess Sikong Qiqi slowly walking into the hall with a treasure box in her hand and a group of guards carrying wooden boxes.

Seeing Sikong Qianqi, Master Chu quickly lowered his head and raised his wine cup to drink.

Carefully looking at Sikong Qiqi, she originally had a cut on her face by Master Chu, but now she was perfectly fine.

However, it was not strange. With Big Cang’s strength, it was not difficult to find some rare and precious medicinal herbs to repair the wound.

It was just that why would Sikong Qianqi suddenly come to the snow, it was truly a gathering of enemies, a never ending meeting!

Sikong Qianqi walked into the main hall. She did not offer her congratulatory gift at the first moment, but first glanced around the main hall. Her gaze landed on Xue Wu Hen.
