Chapter 72 Xia Dynasty
Meng Yao's eyes slightly curved, he was really happy for his good friend.

She let go of her hands and lay down half on the sofa. Before closing her eyes again, she glanced at Lu Wu next to her and opened her eyes again.

Lu Wu noticed her staring at him, looked over at her, and nodded to her.

Meng Yao closed her eyes again, trusting her sisters' vision.

Fu Niannian was looking down at the piece of paper. The content on the paper seemed to be an ancient book printed in color.

The translation of the ancient book records is: Xia Chenyan, the fourth son of the Xia Dynasty, had a companion, who was the direct descendant of the left prime minister's family at that time, named Xue Quan.

The two grew up together in the palace and had a deep relationship. On the day Xia Chenyan died, Xue Quan disappeared from the world. Even his family did not know where he had gone, and no one knew his traces since then.

After reading this paragraph, Fu Niannian looked up and looked at Mingchen: "Xue Quan is Xia Chenyan's reading companion?"

Mingchen nodded: "I got this from a historian of the Xia Dynasty."

Fu Niannian raised her eyebrows in surprise: "The Xia Dynasty was more than 6000 years ago, and that historian hasn't reincarnated yet?"

Mingchen: "He used to be a ghost cultivator, and later he was admitted as a civil servant in the Hades Palace. You also know that we are short of people in the Hades Palace, but all the ghost cultivators who can be used are taken into the Hades Palace by me."

Speaking of this, Fu Niannian had to complain: "In order to help you recruit people in the underworld, I made a deal with Taoist Shunqing and let his disciple go. His disciple did a lot of bad things."

This matter really makes no sense to Mingchen. Taoist Shunqing is now the city god of the next province, and he also asked someone to inform him about his disciple's previous affairs.

Taoist Shunqing also said that he had asked him to apologize to Fu Niannian on his behalf, but he forgot.

Mingchen coughed, and after a few months, he still remembered Taoist Shunqing's words.

Fu Niannian gave him a confused look: "Can you still be the King of Hades with your brains?"

Mingchen was not straightforward and strong, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "That historian said that the history books of the Xia Dynasty are actually different from reality."

Fu Niannian: "How to say?"

"Xia Chenyan died of poison. The poison was inflicted by his biological brother Xia Chenyu, but it is not written in the history books. Xia Chenyu and Xia Chenyan have the same mother, and the relationship between the two has always been good in the eyes of outsiders. , but Xia Chenyu and Xue Quan didn’t deal with them very well.”

"There were several fights in the school. The left prime minister's son fought with the prince. Naturally, everyone in the palace was silenced, so not many people knew about it."

Fu Niannian nodded thoughtfully: "So Xue Quan and Xia Chenyu don't deal with each other, is it because they sensed Xia Chenyu's evil intentions towards Xia Chenyan?"

Mingchen shook his head: "I don't think so. Xia Chenyan was not on guard against this younger brother. He was drinking and chatting with him in his room the night he was poisoned."

"After Xia Chenyan was poisoned, Xia Chenyu was demoted to a commoner, and the queen's prestige also plummeted. Xia Chenze, the son of the imperial concubine, became the prince."

Fu Niannian: "So the mastermind behind this is Xia Chenze, and Xia Chenyu is just regarded as a spear user. This shows that Xia Chenyu is not smart, and is even a bit stupid, so Xue Quan is just tired of being stupid and did not guard against him. Will kill Xia Chenyan."

Mingchen nodded: "I guess that's the case too."

Lu Wu, who had been silent and silent, suddenly said, "Is Xue Quan back for revenge?"

"I remember reading the history of the Xia Dynasty. There was a period of history that was very similar to this one. The eldest son of the Xia Dynasty died young and the second son was demoted to a commoner. The history books did not mention why the second son was demoted to a commoner. "

"But the next year, the eldest prince was named the prince. Three years later, the then emperor died, but the prince died the night before he succeeded to the throne."

"Historical books say that he died of a sudden illness, and later the second prince succeeded to the throne." Mingchen nodded: "This is another deviation from the history books. The historian said that many people in the palace said at that time The palace is haunted, and the ghost of Xia Chenyan, the eldest son, appeared in the palace and strangled the prince to death."

"The historian told me that he didn't believe in these gods and ghosts at first. Most of the officials in the court didn't believe it either. Instead, they believed that he died suddenly of a sudden illness. But after he died, the more he thought about it. It seems more and more possible.”

"The prince used Xia Chenyu as a spearman to kill Xia Chenyan, so Xia Chenyan came back to claim his life when he was about to become emperor."

"I'm more inclined to think that it was Xue Quan who manipulated Xia Chenyan's soul to take revenge."

Fu Niannian nodded: "Actually, it can be easily confirmed whether Xue Quan did this."

Mingchen glanced at her, and the tacit understanding of many years of cooperation allowed her to instantly understand the meaning of Fu Niannian's words.

"I have already checked and found out that the prince's family members all died suddenly after his death, and I also compiled the life and death books during that time. The ghosts did not bring back a single soul. In other words, the prince's soul still belongs to him. The souls of the family members were all shattered by Xue Quan."

"And Xia Chenyu, his soul has not come back."

Fu Niannian showed a true expression: "It seems that he is indeed right. Only he can kill everyone like this."

From her two short encounters with Xue Quan, Fu Niannian fully understood that Xue Quan was a lunatic with a bad mind.

What he did was reckless and completely crazy, and this was definitely his doing.

I just don’t know how he got on this path and how he managed to live for so many years.

When she thought of this, she suddenly remembered something. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Mingchen and asked, "What about Xia Chenyan? Where is his soul?"

Mingchen's eyes darkened when he heard this, and his voice became much lower: "It's Jing Yuansheng."

Fu Niannian understood in an instant, and Lu Wu rarely showed a surprised expression.

He remembered how the history books recorded that this eldest son was a great talent, Jing Yuansheng...

Fu Niannian also felt something was wrong after reacting: "Jing Yuansheng's stupid brain, isn't this also a deviation between history books and reality? Isn't the difference a bit big? If it were Jing Yuansheng, then he would be poisoned by his brothers to death It’s not surprising.”

Mingchen shook his head: "We found that Jing Yuansheng's soul is not complete."

Fu Niannian frowned immediately: "Are you kidding me? Can the soul be reincarnated without being intact?"

Mingchen rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache: "Of course an incomplete soul can be reincarnated, but someone needs to help him cover it up."

"I now suspect that Xue Quan still retains part of Xia Chenyan's soul."

Fu Niannian originally wanted to accuse Mingchen of being irresponsible, but when she saw Meng Yao, she swallowed her next words.

Meng Yao is the typical person whose soul is incomplete and was sent to be reincarnated.

Although his soul is now back, the sequelae are still very obvious. He relies on people every day like he has no bones and can sleep anytime and anywhere.

　It's purely fiction, don't take it seriously.
