Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 92 The Shocking Secret of Cangshu Pavilion
The next day, Baili Jiuge went back to Zhongshan to check on Ziqi's condition. The ghost doctor said that the residual poison in Ziqi's body had almost dissipated, so he didn't need to be taken care of anymore, but he just needed to rest for a while.

This is naturally a great thing for Baili Jiuge, she can also go back to the imperial capital and concentrate on helping Mo Li.

On July [-]th, the Fangfei Pavilion was closed during the day as usual, calm and peaceful.

Baili Jiuge returned to her room, turned into Bai Qiang, wrote an invitation card, recruited a tortoise slave, handed the invitation card to him heavily, and asked him to send the invitation card to the Prince Chen's mansion.

Watching Guinu set off from the window, Baili Jiuge took a deep breath, turned around and spread out the drawing paper, and began to mix the ink and paint.

She understands that today is a tough battle, and since she is determined to fight on, she must win!
When the hour was approaching, Yin Haochen really came, and hearing him asking outside the door, Baili Jiuge's heart beat so fast.She tried her best to suppress the tension, let her smile be natural, and said with a wanton smile: "It's His Royal Highness, please come in."

The door was pushed open, and the people who entered from the outside pressed heavily on Baili Jiuge's chest in cold black robes like the dark night.The turquoise on his waist reflected a ray of sunlight into Baili Jiuge's eyes.

She looked away calmly, and at this moment she saw Yin Haochen's bright expression like a stormy sea.

"You...Miss Baiqiang, you are..." Surrounded by sudden surprises, he forgot how to speak for a moment.The whole heart was as excited as if it had been reborn, and it was beating wildly. At this moment, I was so happy that I felt like I was going to kneel down in court.

Yin Haochen strode forward, sweeping the light and shadow all over the ground, but cast his own shadow on Baili Jiuge.She and the table in front of her were under the shadow of Yin Haochen. Although she was nervous, she looked directly at him with bright eyes and laughed loudly: "Prince Chen, we meet again."

Yin Haochen showed a relieved expression, his usual cold and sharp outline was so soft at this moment.He watched her dragging her sleeve with her left hand and holding a small brush in her right hand. She painted beautifully on the white rice paper. One stroke at a time, what she outlined was the melancholy moonlight, the dark blue lake water, and the black dress, The young fairy combing her long hair by the lake kneeling...

Yin Haochen watched silently, the excitement in his eyes kept surging, he said: "Miss Baiqiang, are you... really her?"

"It's me." Baili Jiuge raised his eyes and smiled sincerely: "My name is Heifeng."

"Flower Valley Qisu?!" Yin Haochen was quite shocked.

"Well, it's me." She chose to be honest with Yin Haochen.Just because she is taking advantage of his feelings for her today to cheat him for the key.She did this kind of thing that she never despised, she was sorry to Yin Haochen, so she decided to tell him the identity of "Black Phoenix".

Yin Haochen said: "I heard that the names of Huagu Qisu are just titles. Their real names in the secular world, except for 'Singer of Thousand Shadows' has been made public, the rest are unknown. It turns out that your secular name is Bai Qiang, which is This is the painting fairy of the Fangfei Pavilion."

"...Yes." Baili Jiuge agreed, feeling extremely ashamed.

She is still painting, the picture scroll under the brush is fuller a little bit, a pen moves flexibly, lifts up, dips in paint and ink, and falls down again, which is wonderful.Feeling that Yin Haochen was concentrating on looking at the painting, she smiled and said, "Painting is a craft taught by my master. He taught me how to paint, and taught my brother Gu Yan how to play chess. However, the two of us are young and energetic, and neither of us have learned the true teachings of our master." .”

Yin Haochen didn't take it seriously, and said solemnly: "This king has seen too many painters and works over the years, but in fact they can't reach your attainments."

"My lord, you don't need to praise me. I know how much I have. I'm still far behind my master in depicting the charm of the painting." She said, looking at Yin Haochen, "My lord, I often think, what if If I can go to the Zangshu Pavilion in the imperial capital to observe the real works of famous ancient paintings and feel the artistic conception firsthand, then I will definitely be able to break through myself."

Yin Haochen raised his brows lightly, then his eyes sank, and his tone became cold: "This king is taking care of the library for the emperor's brother. You can't bend the law for personal gain, even if it's you... the same!"

Baili Jiuge is in trouble.Yin Haochen is really very well-behaved... She thought about it hard, took a deep breath, and decided to go all out, "My lord, you know, why do I have to stay in a brothel when I was a first-year painter?"

"...Why?"

With a bright smile: "Because I want to achieve the master's attainments! If I can't break through this bottleneck, I will never marry. It's just that I am in poor health and often lie in bed with illness. I don't know if I can learn from the master in my lifetime. The essence..."

Yin Haochen tightened his brows, and just looked at Baili Jiuge like this, as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, he couldn't get up or down, just stuck in his chest.His brows were dark, his eyes were dark, and he was a little shaken for a while, but he kept telling himself not to bend the law for personal gain.

Seeing that he hesitated, Baili Jiuge said again: "My lord, I just want to feel the ancient paintings firsthand, and it only takes a stick of incense! If my lord is not at ease, I will wait for me outside the Library Pavilion in person. I, Bai Qiang, can do it." Sitting upright, why doesn't the prince believe it?"

Yin Haochen trembled slightly, and saw that Baili Jiuge's eyes were shining brightly, the brilliance was like an unsheathed sword, illuminating the room brightly and brightly.Such clear eyes and firm gaze made people admire him, just like the fairy in black who saved him by the mirror lake.

At this moment, Yin Haochen couldn't control the throbbing in his heart, and rushed out the words of promise: "Okay, this king will make an exception and let you enter the library."

Baili Jiuge was overjoyed, quickly put down his brush, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"

"Forget it, you don't have to thank me." After all, Yin Haochen was a little ashamed of his dereliction of duty, so he could only say: "Go ahead and finish this painting, and last time you asked Baili Jiuge to give me a gift The one above, these two paintings are moving and still, each has its own merits, I hope you can give this painting as a gift."

Baili Jiuge smiled: "Of course, it's a thank you gift to the prince."

As he said that, deep guilt and shame welled up in his heart.

Yin Haochen, if you knew that I lied to you because of Mo Li, how would you feel? !

Yin Haochen, I'm sorry!
With the last touch, a painting is completely natural, and Yin Haochen is amazed by the stunning woman in black in the painting.He caressed the edge of the drawing paper carefully and almost reverently, and stared at the woman in the painting intently. This woman who has entered his heart is now really beside him. She is so unparalleled in beauty, as if she is within reach. and!

There was a smile on the knife-like face, it was a smile full of hope.Yin Haochen looked at Baili Jiuge, although he didn't speak, he made a decision in his heart——

He wants to marry her!

On the day when she breaks through the bottleneck and realizes the realm of his master, he will come to see her in person with a generous dowry as soon as possible, and let her be the only princess in his life.

Baili Jiuge didn't know what was going on in Yin Haochen's mind, but saw that he was standing there like a stone and didn't speak, so he offered to have a glass of wine together and send him back.

The two had a toast and drank it all down. Afterwards, Baili Jiuge personally sent Yin Haochen to the entrance of Fangfei Pavilion, and watched him get into the carriage embroidered with black eagles and drive away gradually.

The curtain of the carriage was always open, and Yin Haochen's eyes were always locked on Baili Jiuge.He felt that the six months of missing, waiting, and suffering could finally come to an end today, and he did not regret not seeing Miss Bai Qiang earlier, because from now on, he would let her be his concubine for the rest of his life. Treat her well, and use his love to repay her life-saving grace.

Standing at the door, Baili Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief, the feeling of guilt was tormenting her like a chronic poison.

She turned around to go back to the room, but when she looked up, she saw Gu Lian standing at the end of the second floor of the stairs, looking down at her with sneering eyes.

Baili Jiuge suddenly felt choked up, "Gu Lian..."

Gu Lian just snorted coldly, and said with a sneer: "You are actually willing to present this face to the Prince of Chen. I guess there is no other reason than for the sake of Prince Zhou."

"Gu Lian, I..." Baili Jiuge took a deep breath and said, "I just want to clarify some things, and I must ask Yin Haochen for help."

"Really? Well, then I wish you good luck." Gu Lian snorted coldly and turned around, laughing as she walked, "Who told us to be good sisters? Even if you make me lose face, I still take you I have no choice but to have petty temper tantrums with you. I even feel a little disgusted by myself, no wonder Prince Zhou was so decisive when he rejected me."

Baili Jiuge only felt that these words were too harsh, and they made her feel uncomfortable.She hurriedly said: "It's not such caring! Mo Li has his reasons for everything he does, and even I can't get into his world, so why do you say that about yourself?"

Gu Lianqi smiled, gave Baili Jiuge a cold and sarcastic look, turned around and went into the room without wanting to say more.Only Baili Jiuge was left under the stairs looking at the empty second floor, and the bottom of his heart also became empty, filled with bursts of pain.

Baili Jiuge didn't know how to resolve the knot with Gu Lian, and the most important thing was right in front of her eyes, so she had to temporarily put aside the matter with Gu Lian, go back to her room to rest, and wait for Yin Haochen to pick her up tomorrow Palace Library Pavilion.

The day passed neither fast nor slow, Yin Haochen came at the appointed time on the second day, and Baili Jiuge got into the black carriage under the surprised eyes of the butler of the Prince Chen's Mansion.

She also heard the steward and the coachman muttering: "Our lord is not a lover, why did he suddenly forget about the fairy in black and fell in love with Miss Baiqiang? stronger than it is now."

Hearing these words, guilt flashed across Baili Jiuge's eyes, no matter how rough his nerves were, he now understood that Yin Haochen was bound to hire her as his concubine.

She took a deep breath, and couldn't bear to see the hopeful look in Yin Haochen's eyes, so she could only smile and say something else: "Two years ago, the prince and Baili Weiming, the eldest son of the Fengguo General's Mansion, fought against Zhou Guo, and the situation was overwhelming. Thinking about it, I think that war can be called a thunderbolt."

Yin Haochen's voice was calm and introverted, without making waves: "At that time, Zhou Guoxian invaded our Dashang. Everyone knew that our Dashang did not have the upper hand at the beginning. Speaking of it, it was also because of the help of the prince of the Jin Kingdom. Ji Mizhen' interferes with Zhou's army, only the king and Baili Weiming can get a chance to rearrange and finally counterattack."

In fact, Baili Jiuge all know this matter, Tianji Maze, a magical formation that originated from the ancient times in legend, it is impenetrable for defense, but it is too fierce for offense.Now few people in this world know how to use this formation, like the crown prince of Jin country, he only used it superficially, but there is only one person who has really reached the pinnacle, Baili Jiuge knows one, and that is her master Yi Fang Sanren.

With the bumping of the carriage, the two entered the palace through the side door. Yin Haochen showed his token and passed without hindrance until the door of the Zangshu Pavilion. He got out of the carriage first, then turned around and helped Baili Jiuge, almost cautiously.

"Thank you, my lord." She smiled, looking forward to the building with the smell of books, expecting but also a little nervous.

"Bai Qiang, this king is waiting for you here, remember, the time for a stick of incense."

Baili Jiuge came back to his senses, nodded in response, then walked into the library pavilion and closed the door.

As soon as I came in, I couldn't help myself to take a breath, so I hurriedly looked through the bookcases one by one, looking for the secrets of historical materials.Fortunately, the layout of Zangshu Pavilion is not complicated, and Yin Haochen also ordered people to close the defense mechanism. After a hundred miles and nine songs, he quickly found the book area related to the records of Penglai Kingdom.

Looking at the ancient scrolls, she pulled herself together and looked at them carefully.Rubbing one by one, not letting myself miss any possible words.

After looking for it, his finger rested on the spine of a book, Baili Jiuge was overjoyed, finally found it!He quickly pulled out the book and started reading from the first page.

This book records the upper-level system structure of Penglai State.

The surname of the Penglai royal family is Xia, which is the political leader of the entire country; the surname of the saintess family is Jing, which is a spiritual symbol to gather people's beliefs.There is also the Si family whose mission is to protect the royal family, and the Duan family who assist the saint and specialize in sacrificial matters.

According to the book, Penglai Kingdom has a unique geographical location. According to legend, it was once blessed by the Immortal Ze in ancient times, so it lived endlessly, and there was no great chaos for thousands of years.But the people of Penglai are arrogant and rude, so they despise the countries in the Central Plains, and even do not hesitate to threaten them with weapons.In the end, the country of Yan was angered, and it united with the countries of Shang and Xiang to destroy Penglai.

Baili Jiuge was flipping through the book, and when he reached the last few pages, an ancient meticulous painting suddenly came into view.

This is a full-body portrait of a woman, with a veil covering her face, so you can't see her face, only her clear eyes and a birthmark between her brows that looks like a eucalyptus flower.

Below the portrait, there is a line of small characters: Jingliufeng, the last saint of Penglai Kingdom, secretly married into the royal family of Zhou Dynasty. She died on the seventh day of the seventh month of Renwu Year. The cause of death is unknown.The day before his death, he gave birth to a holy heir, but the heir was lost, and his whereabouts are still unknown, suspected to be in the territory of the Shang Kingdom.

Baili Jiuge was startled.This means that Mo Li's younger sister, who disappeared since birth, is most likely in the Kingdom of Shang?

She hastily turned to the next page. At this moment, the small black characters caught her eyes, and she was so surprised that she almost cried out in horror.

I saw that it was written in the book - the Penglai Saintess Clan possessed a unique secret technique, the bird control technique, which was only passed down to females by birth and passed down from generation to generation.

At this moment, the book in her hand almost fell to the ground, and Baili Jiuge could even hear the sound of her gasping for air. She stared at the black and white words in shock, making sure she read it correctly.

Bird control.

I am born with it, and can communicate with birds without hindrance.

And the master also told her thousands of times that this matter must not be let anyone know, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

If it is true that only the Penglai Saintess clan has the ability to control birds, what about me?Isn't he also...

Holding the book with trembling hands, Baili Jiuge hardly dared to think about it.

Jing Liufeng's daughter was born on the sixth day of the seventh month of Renwu Year, the same birthday as her...

Bird Control Technique, the unique secret technique of the Penglai Saintess Clan.

If this is the case, then myself and Mo Li, wouldn't they be, wouldn't they be...

impossible!
With a "snap", Baili Jiuge closed the book, and with violently trembling hands, the scroll also made the sound of paper rubbing.

She panted heavily, only to feel that the air in her lungs turned into cold stones, the coldness made her internal organs knotted, and it was still so heavy and heavy on her heart, that every breath she took Difficult no.

How could it be such a coincidence, it was so coincidental that it was hard for her not to doubt it.Could it be that she and Mo Li are really, really...

impossible!Absolutely not!She is the concubine daughter of Fengguo General's Mansion, and she has a mother, the woman who disfigured her with a knife...

But, why does she often feel that that woman is not her mother at all?

"I... who the hell am I..." With such horror and panic in his heart, Baili Jiuge didn't even know that his trembling voice was floating in the quiet library.

"Who am I, who am I...Master, didn't you say that I am the daughter of Bailiyue? Then why didn't you let me tell you about the bird-controlling technique? You must know something, right... "She murmured, her heart seemed to be immersed between ice and fire, hot and cold, extremely tormented.

Suddenly, the sound of pushing the door sounded.Baili Jiuge was startled and almost dropped the book in his hand.She quickly stuffed the book back to its original place, and stayed away from this bookshelf, for fear that people who came in would see something strange.

After turning a corner, Yin Haochen appeared in front of him, and the shadow formed by the backlight was long and dark, enveloping Baili Jiuge in it.Her heart was beating uncomfortably, she looked up at Yin Haochen, tried to smile and said: "The time for a stick of incense is here so soon?"

Yin Haochen's brows were heavy, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he suddenly asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, your complexion is not very good."

"I'm... fine!" Baili Jiuge shook his head, took a deep breath, and smiled loudly: "It's just that I was a little engrossed in watching it for a while, and I haven't recovered yet, so let's do it first. Thank you! It's almost noon, I should go back to Fangfei Museum to study painting skills, you should go back to your house for lunch."

Yin Haochen nodded, the strong sunlight coming in from the window couldn't melt his knife-like sternness, but when facing her, he would reveal a rare tenderness. "The king will send you back."

Baili Jiuge had no intention of refusing this matter, so he simply agreed.

This way back to Fangfei Museum, my heart was hanging on the height of half a day, and I was extremely nervous.She realized that she had never been so disturbed, and never thought about it so hard, she didn't even say a word to Yin Haochen, her brows were also furrowed, until she returned to her room, she still didn't know what to do.

Suddenly thinking of Gu Yan, his mind instantly became clearer.Baili Jiuge immediately changed into a red dress, put on a human skin mask, and left Fangfei Pavilion for Zhongshan.

She is going to ask Guyan to find out.

Gu Yan is the master's son, so he must know who she is!
