I rely on tricks to cultivate my longevity

Chapter 243 Face
After Shi Xueqian and the young eunuch Huizhong withdrew as ordered, the emperor spoke slowly.

"This secret, please keep it a secret no matter what. After all, this is really about the face of my Yunzhou royal family." The emperor urged again.

"If Yunzhou can be governed like this, your royal family has already lost face in the eyes of the common people, and a secret story has even brought face to face." Lin Xixue was still ruthless.

"Pfft ha ha ha ha!" Feng Yuexian at the side finally couldn't help laughing, and cast a very appreciative look at Lin Xixue.

That look seemed to say: "It's too much fun to scold!"

"I am also the emperor of the real dragon after all, so you can't save some face for me." The emperor learned how to be obedient, and he didn't dare to annoy Lin Xixue anymore, his words were not so much a discussion, but more like a plea.

"Respect is earned by oneself, not given by others." Lin Xixue's eyes were indifferent, and he didn't take his pleading seriously.

"Do you understand how heavy the burden is on the lord of a country? Do you know how many people will regret it for life because of your negligence? You don't want to take care of the burden on your shoulders."

"My mind is full of face, thinking about your throne, thinking about my own wealth and life. The end result is that I lost my face, lost my throne, and lost my life."

The emperor was bullied by Lin Xixue again, bowed his head in silence for a long time, sighed lightly, and finally didn't refute anything, just began to tell the secrets about the face of the royal family in a low voice.

"During the reign of the first emperor, there was an extremely beloved side concubine. One year, this side concubine suddenly fell ill. He summoned all the imperial physicians for diagnosis and treatment, but to no avail."

"Be clear, what kind of ailment is it, and what is the diagnosis and treatment conclusion given by the imperial physician?" Lin Xixue interrupted the emperor and asked clearly.

"Well, I was still young at the time, and I had to complete the homework assigned by the teacher every day, so I didn't have time to ask these things. Besides, the side concubine's bedroom was designated as a restricted area at that time, and there were very few people who knew about it."

"Then someone must serve this side concubine. You must pass on the person who knew about it back then, and I will ask you carefully."

"It's been more than 30 years now. I'm afraid that the slaves who served by me back then are all old now. I'll send someone to check in the directory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The emperor pressed his forehead and felt a headache. endlessly.

Seeing this, Lin Xixue no longer forced him to find him immediately, but said: "Okay, keep talking."

"At that time, the side concubine had been ill for a long time, and she was about to die when she saw it. The late emperor was so anxious that he had to seek medical treatment everywhere, but most of them were fruitless. After a lot of trouble, the side concubine became even sicker It's heavy."

"At this moment, a wandering Taoist suddenly entered the palace, saying that he was very sure to cure the side concubine, but there was a condition."

"What conditions?"

"That is, the first emperor should put down his throne and follow him to travel and practice Taoism."

"Needless to say, he must have agreed." Lin Xixue spread her hands helplessly.

The emperor did not refute, but continued with a wry smile: "At that time, the officials were furious, and the officials risked their lives to admonish them, but perhaps the late emperor was deeply emotional, so he agreed to the Taoist's request."

"Heh, even though it was announced to the outside world that the old emperor died, he actually left the palace to practice Taoism with this Taoist?" Hearing this story, Lin Xixue couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

But she touched her chin, and quickly realized that there were a few details that needed to be confirmed, and asked, "Did you let Qingyu Mountain see the side concubine's condition?"

"At that time, I hadn't ascended the throne, and I didn't even know about the existence of Qingyu Mountain. Naturally, I had no way of knowing whether the disciples of Qingyu Mountain had ever treated my side concubine, but I think they probably did."

Lin Xixue pursed her lips, her eyes shifted, thinking that if the disciples from Qingyu Mountain came to investigate the concubine's condition, maybe Bai Qing would know something?

"Go on and tell me, what happened after the former emperor Lao Er agreed to practice Taoism with him."

"The late emperor did not disclose the details to the public. We only know that not long after, many places in the palace were rebuilt, and this refurbishment is the only one that has not been included in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' register."

"Afterwards, the side concubine's illness really recovered, and she was disease-free in old age, and died of illness."

Lin Xixue curled her fingers at the broken hair hanging down her ears, thinking that from the moment the concubine got sick, the whole thing revealed a weirdness, it seems that the source of the strange Fengshui in the palace is most likely this time event.

However, why does this wandering Taoist want to let the former emperor Laoer follow him to practice Taoism?

"By the way, do you know the name of this Youfang Taoist?"

"It's too old, and the situation in the palace was complicated at that time, I probably remember what Xu Zi, Jing Xu Zi?"

"Aren't you called Jixuzi?" Fengyuexian, who had listened amusedly before, had an extremely solemn expression at the moment.

"That's right, that's right, it's Ji Xuzi!" This reminder also awakened the memory in the emperor's heart, "Does this girl recognize this person?"

"This person. According to the seniority of the teacher, he is my elder brother, and according to the secular seniority, he is my uncle." Feng Yuexian took a deep breath, "Aside from all this, he is my blood feud."

"In this way, such a high skill of public opinion makes sense, it makes sense, so it is so, so it is so" She seemed to be dazed, and kept repeating these words.

Lin Xixue put her hands on her shoulders, signaling her to calm down, and she also hugged Lin Xixue's arms tightly, trying to control the trembling of her body.

After a long time, Feng Yuexian finally calmed down a little, and then spoke in a hoarse voice.

"This person is the first disciple accepted by the ancestor, and has almost inherited most of the inheritance of the ancestor. Originally, he should be the new head of the Jiuwei lineage."

"But then father appeared. If Ji Xuzi is a genius in the art of geomancy, then father was born in the world. A genius among geniuses, he has learned all the skills of his ancestors in just a few years."

"So on a snowy night, Kong Jizi invited my father to make tea to reminisce about the old days, but in fact he killed him and stole my treasure of the Nine Micro Lineage, and exchanged stars for buckets."

"Wait. I think the timing is a bit wrong. It was decades ago that the old emperor left the palace, but I think you are only fifteen or sixteen years old."

Lin Xixue was a little confused, "According to this timeline, when Ji Xuzi changed the Feng Shui of the palace, he should have not betrayed the Jiuwei lineage."

"No, the timing is right on the ground, but" Feng Yuexian hesitated a little, and looked at the emperor at the side with some vigilance.

Lin Xixue understood, and understood that there must be some details that were inconvenient for the emperor to know, so she immediately nodded to Fengyuexian, and the two tacitly agreed to talk about the details of the time in private.

"So then again, since Ji Xuzi is the inheritor of your Jiuwei lineage, do you know the reason why he wants the former emperor to abdicate and follow him to practice Taoism?"

"This, I'm just guessing. Maybe it's false to follow the Taoism, and it's true that he needs to use his physical body as a special feng shui pattern of 'eyes'!"
