Chapter 225 Cause and Effect
Hearing Yu Xue's voice, both of them were startled. After looking at each other, Gongsun Qing got up and walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing Yu Xue standing at the door looking at him with a smile, seeing him coming out Yu Xue smiled and said, "How is it? My hearing is fine."

"It's really great. I didn't expect you to be able to hear it from such a distance. It's really surprising."

"It's nothing, after all, I was born as a Taoist priest, and I was entrusted by my master's order to come here this time to help the prince."

Gongsun Qingdao: "Since that's the case, why don't you go into the house?"

"it is good."

The two entered the room together, Gongsun Qing ordered the nurse to take the child to rest, and the three of them retreated and talked in the room.

Before that, Li Shishi wrote a letter to Taoist Duliu, explaining what she had encountered in the palace, together with the emperor's taking of the elixir and the stupidity of the seventh prince.

And it was precisely because of this that Yu Xue came here this time.

Now Yu Xue has been studying the art of medicine and poison with Taoist Duliu in Butterfly Valley for several years.

Although he is not as capable as Taoist Duliu, he has achieved something in his studies. In addition, this is Li Shishi's matter. She is kind to Yu Xue, so she is sent to resolve this matter.

Now that Yu Xue has directly stated her purpose of coming here, Gongsun Qing did not hide it, and explained all the doubts in this matter.

After listening to what he said, Yu Xue thought of what she had seen along the way, and what Gongsun Qing said, and she already had a judgment in her heart.

"To be honest, although I walked in a hurry this way, I passed through several towns and saw the imperial list posted at the city gate, saying that it was recruiting capable people and strangers to enter the palace to pray for the Holy One. At that time, I still had doubts. But now that I think about it, I’m afraid that the blessing is fake, and the longevity pill made by refining is real.”

"Then what do you think about this matter?" Li Shishi asked.

Yu Xue said with a smile: "This is nonsense. As the saying goes, people have their own destiny and cannot be forced. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. How can we mortals change our fate against the sky and do such unethical things."

"What does your master think about this matter?" Gongsun Qing continued to ask.

"My master? He definitely doesn't believe it. If there was one, he would have eaten it long ago, so how can he repay others." Yu Xue covered her mouth and smiled.

"So, the emperor can believe this kind of nonsense, but the older you get, the more confused you become." Li Shishi sighed helplessly: "This is not the same as pushing yourself into the fire pit."

Yu Xue didn't speak, just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "But before I came, I asked Master if I would like to go with me. The road is high and the road is long. I'm afraid it will be short. I can’t go back in time. I don’t feel at ease when he’s alone in Butterfly Valley. But Master, he doesn’t want to come here, even if he eats pancakes on the mountain every day after I leave, he doesn’t want to come down for a walk.”

"Then why?" Li Shishi asked puzzled.

"I wondered too, but when I asked him he didn't say anything. It wasn't until the night before I left that he drank too much and dragged me to talk for half the night. Only then did I know why he didn't want to enter the palace."

When Li Shishi heard it, there was indeed something tricky in it, so she hurriedly asked: "Then why?"

Yu Xue looked helpless and hated that iron could not be made into steel, looked at Li Shishi and said, "That's not a disaster he caused himself."

She sighed softly, and said: "I can't remember exactly when, but it seems that more than ten years ago, he entered the palace by chance and caught up with the emperor to set up a celebration banquet, and he broke into the imperial dining room by mistake because of gluttony." , was almost discovered by someone. Just as he was running away, he was rescued by a concubine of the emperor. And in order to repay her for saving his life, he promised her that if this concubine needs help, he will do his best."

"And then?" Gongsun Qing asked.

Yu Xue smiled helplessly: "Who knew that this kind of repayment could come so quickly. Not long after, this concubine was arrested for poisoning. She followed the method master said to find him and let him enter the palace." Help her. Master, he didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't know until we met that this concubine had caused a terrible disaster, and maybe her child would be implicated in this disaster. In order to save her child's life, this concubine let No matter what method Master uses, he will save him. And that child at that time..."

"Was that child dying of severe poison at that time?" Gongsun Qing asked.

"No, the child was indeed poisoned at that time, but because the poison was not strong and he didn't eat much, so he didn't die. But his mother and concubine were about to be executed because of the poisoning. In order to repay the kindness, the master directly killed him. This child's ability is temporarily blocked. It makes him look like a three-year-old idiot."

"So this is why Master Ni is unwilling to enter the palace?" Li Shishi asked.

"It's about the same. Anyway, this matter is a big blow to Master, and he doesn't want to get involved with the people in the palace because of this matter. After all, the capital is like a place of tigers and wolves. This place is a place that can't even eat people. With the existence of bones, he is used to being at ease alone, let alone let himself fall into this place."

Then she looked at Gongsun and smiled and said, "If it wasn't for you, Master would never let me out."

Gongsun Qing was thoughtful when he heard her words, and turned his head to look at Li Shishi, seeing that Li Shishi was also looking at him, their eyes met, and there was a sense of coincidence.

Looking away, he turned to look at Yu Xue: "So the child whose mind was blocked by him back then was not really stupid?"

"Yeah." Yu Xue nodded: "Master said, it's only a temporary blockade, but after so many years, I guess if this child survives, he should have noticed that his sanity is getting clearer. I'm afraid Master is also worried that once this child Sober, I'm afraid that his stupid things back then will be thought to be intentional, and it is estimated that someone will come to trouble him. If you think about doing this, I'm afraid it will push this child into a more dangerous situation. "

She sighed a long time, "My master, don't look at the appearance of a gentleman on the surface, but he will always do some things in private without considering the consequences."

Gongsun Qing smiled, shook his head and said, "No, your master has done an extremely correct thing this time."

Yu Xue was startled, and asked in a daze: "What does the prince say?"

Gongsun Qing opened the folding fan, shook it slowly, and said thoughtfully: "If your master hadn't reached out to save this child back then, I'm afraid it will be regrettable now."

"Is that child still alive?" Yu Xue asked.

"That's natural. He blocked his mind because of your master. Not only did he not die, but he became the least threatening existence, and it is also the most advantageous pawn in our hands, a key piece that can determine victory or defeat."
