Chapter 111

In any case, entering the palace is inevitable.

Three days later, Su Hailing brought Mu Qingchen, Mei Junhan, Haoyue, Mu Xin, and Anxiang into the palace. All the matters of Haiyue's grain business were handed over to Meng Ruyan, and Situ Ye continued to stay in the small palace. In the courtyard, he is the liaison between Su Hailing and Murong Zi.

It was Ouyang Xun, the chief executive who had met at Qin Xiang's mansion that day, who brought them into the palace.

A new palace has been rebuilt on the old site of Chaoyang Palace, which is more beautiful and exquisite than the original one. Since the word "Chaoyang" carries fire, which is unlucky in case of fire, the name of the palace was changed to "Chaoyun Palace". ".

However, the layout of the palace is still roughly built according to the old site of Chaoyang Palace, and there is a sense of familiarity everywhere, especially the lotus pond in the backyard has also been preserved. Although this season, there are no lotus in the pond, only occasionally. I saw a few koi come out of the water and spit bubbles, then wagged their tails and dived back to the bottom.

"If your Highness needs anything else, just ask." Ouyang Xun said with a straight face.

"It's nothing, it's just that I like to be quiet, so don't send many people to disturb you if you have nothing to do." Su Hailing said flatly.

"Yes." As expected, Ouyang Xun was dedicated to dealing with the master in the palace, and his manners made it impossible to find a single fault.

After visiting less than half of the palace, Su Hailing saw that Mu Qingchen was a little tired, so he ordered lunch to be served in the Tingyu Pavilion near the water.

Ouyang Xun was in charge of the entire palace, so he was busy with things, so he left on his own after apologizing.

After a while, the table was full of exquisite dishes.

Su Hailing invited everyone to sit down together with Mu Xin and An Xiang, forming a table.

"Dayong's imperial chef is better than Nanchu's." Mei Junhan comfortably picked up a fast pine flower fish and put it into his mouth, tasting the taste.

"Southern Chu is a land of southern barrenness, and it cannot be compared with Dayong, which has a vast land and abundant resources." Su Hailing said while picking some light and refreshing side dishes, and put some in the small plates in front of Mu Qingchen.

"Miss, what is this?" Mu Xin stared curiously at a plate of snow-white pastries.

"This is called Yujie Bingqing, and it's a famous dessert for Emperor Yong." Su Hailing smiled, and took a piece for him, "Try it, it's not available in other places except in the palace."

Mu Xin held the cake as white as clouds and as soft as snow fondly, took a bite, and a sweet and clear taste slowly melted in his mouth, mixed with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, refreshing.

"What is this?" An Xiang also asked, pointing to a plate of strangely shaped fish.

"Ice fish, this is a fish that grows in the snow streams of the Tianxue Mountains, and it is generally extremely difficult to catch." It was Mu Qingchen who answered.

"What about this one?" An Xiang was simply a curious baby.

Mu Qingchen seems to be in a good mood today, explaining the origin of these dishes to her lightly, even the chef serving the dishes can't help but feel ashamed.

"Is Qingchen doing something good today?" Su Hailing approached him and asked with a low smile.

"Come over to me later." Mu Qingchen hesitated before saying.

"Yeah." Su Hailing nodded, although he was a little curious, but he would know soon after thinking about it anyway, so he let it go.

Mei Junhan glanced at Mu Qingchen calmly, and his heart moved slightly, remembering the things that he accompanied him to the Baiji pawnshop to redeem that day.Did he finally open it and read the contents?But... Judging by his expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

Thinking about it, he thought about it suddenly, and couldn't help laughing at himself.

Since when did the owner of Xuanming Palace start to care about the arrival of Qinglian's successor?They... are the old enemies destined by the heavens...

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Haoyue's bewildered expression, with a trace of melancholy in her eyes, but she seemed to be staring at the sparkling blue water without focus.

"Hey!" Mei Junhan frowned, and gently tugged on Haoyue's sleeve.

"Ah, I'm not." Haoyue hurriedly turned her gaze back, and lowered her head to eat.

Mei Junhan followed his line of sight curiously, and saw only a few withered lotus plants on the surface of the pool, and nothing that attracted attention.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of food, Haoyue put down her chopsticks, and secretly put her right hand on her left wrist, the cold temperature of the jade bracelet pierced through her palm and directly into her heart.

In summer, the pond will still be full of lotus flowers, but...after all, this place was destroyed by the fire, and no one will make hairpins for him at the rebuilt poolside, saying: flowers are meant to accompany beauties.

Su Hailing looked at Haoyue, and immediately understood that he was thinking wildly again, so he could only shake his head.

Haoyue, Haoyue, if you still can't learn to trust, then your suffering last time will really be in vain.

In short, generally speaking, the meal was a pleasure.

After drinking tea, Su Hailing immediately asked them to find a room they liked, and then he and Mu Qingchen returned to the main bedroom in the east.

"Qingchen, what's the matter?" Su Hailing asked suspiciously, "I just came here, and I haven't tidied up my things yet."

"I have something for you." Mu Qingchen said, and took out a red sandalwood box that was two feet deep and one foot square from the bed.

"What is this?" Su Hailing couldn't help but sink when he took it in his hand, and then he looked surprised. After walking together for so long, why didn't she know that Mu Qingchen had such a big guy with him?

"You will know if you open it yourself." Mu Qingchen said.

Su Hailing looked at him, then at the heavy box, finally put it on the table, and carefully opened the lid.

The lock on the box had been removed by Mu Qingchen, so she easily opened the lid, and saw that the inside of the box wall and the base were covered with thick and soft velvet blankets to ensure that the contents would not be broken half point.

Inside the box is a dark golden tripod, with dragons and phoenixes depicted, exquisitely carved, but it looks like the golden color has rusted a bit.

What is this?If it is not important, Mu Qingchen's temperament will not let her look eagerly.Ding... After a while, she couldn't help blurting out: "Linglong Jinding?"

"Easy!" Mu Qingchen glared at her.

Su Hailing stuck out his tongue, looked around carefully, and lowered his voice, "Qingchen, where did you get the Linglong Jinding?"

"Master left it behind." Mu Qingchen sighed softly, "Originally, Master told me that on this day ten years later, I will go to Baiji Pawnshop in Dayong City to redeem the same thing, and it will be this exquisite golden tripod."

"Senior Qinglian?" Su Hailing wondered, "Ten years ago? How did he know that you would be in Yongjing City ten years later?"

"I don't know, that's what Master ordered. If I didn't come here with you, I would have almost forgotten about it." Mu Qingchen shook his head.

Su Hailing scratched her hair. Her soul comes from modern times, so she naturally doesn't believe in superstitions. What's more... Although the science of divination and astrology has a very mysterious feeling, but... Qinglian Sword Immortal can be counted ten years later It's something that happened after his death, it's too incredible!

"I've studied this thing, it's gold." Mu Qingchen said again, "I didn't see anything else."

Su Hailing gently took out the Linglong Jinding from the box and placed it on the table.

I saw that the golden tripod was cast from a whole piece of gold, without a single gap in it, and it was a seamless piece, but probably because of the age, the original gold lost its shiny luster, showing a color like bronze .

Although the patterns on Ding's body are exquisite, they are all ordinary patterns of phoenix Yufei, even the same as those engraved on the pillars in the palace. There should be no secret signs or the like.

After reading it over and over again, there is nothing strange.Also, if it was so easy to see, Mu Qingchen must have seen it long ago.

"Can't research it?" Mu Qingchen said with a light smile.

"Could it be that the Linglong Golden Tripod is just a symbol?" Su Hailing said depressedly, "Why does the one who gets the Linglong Golden Tripod win the world, just like the emperor's jade seal?"

"I don't think so." Mu Qingchen frowned, "The medical book left by the evil doctor said that the Linglong Golden Cauldron is the only cauldron for refining the antidote for lingering lingering—if it's just an ordinary golden cauldron, how can it have The effect of detoxification?"

"That's true." Su Hailing curled his lips, put down the golden tripod, and said helplessly, "Next time I ask Situ Ye to come over and take a look, maybe I can see something."

"En." Mu Qingchen nodded.

"Let me do it." Su Hailing quickly picked up the heavy golden tripod and put it back into the box, and sealed it again.

Looking at this hot potato again, she couldn't help but wryly smiled and lamented the wonders of the world.

At this time, the exquisite golden tripod, which is the symbol of the emperor, is really timely... Is this a coincidence, or is it everything that Qinglian Sword Immortal has seen ten years ago?
Let Mu Qingchen take a quiet nap, Su Hailing walked out of the bedroom slowly.

The afternoon breeze in spring is full of warmth and full of sunshine.

"Miss Su, for the Palace Master, it's in the West Palace." An Xiang smiled authentically when she saw her.

As the secret line of Xuanming Palace stationed in Dayong City, Anxiang is young, but she is smart and capable, much better than some old people.

But...I didn't expect Mei Junhan to choose the west palace which is the furthest away. That's great, East Palace and West Palace?

While cursing, Su Hailing came to Mei Junhan's residence through the long corridor connecting the east and west halls.

Mei Junhan hated outsiders and didn't like being served by others, so he drove out all the attendants as soon as he came.

Su Hailing didn't see a single figure all the way in, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and searched in the west hall of Nuo Da, but he couldn't find anyone, and went into the inner room again.

In the large bath, the air is lingering, and the heating is steaming.

"Hailing?" Mei Junhan turned around, her whole body was immersed in the shoulder-deep water, her long hair was also loose, and it flowed like splashed ink on the surface of the water.

"You don't like this place." Su Hailing looked at him and sighed softly.

Mei Junhan smiled lightly, stood up, and walked ashore without caring that she was naked.

"I'm not afraid of catching a cold." Su Hailing frowned, picked up a bath towel and threw it over.

Mei Junhan dried her body, took off the clean clothes hanging on the screen, put them on, and said slowly, "Why are you here at this time?"

"Do you know what's in the box that Qingchen brought back from Baiji's pawn shop?" Su Hailing said.

"What?" Mei Junhan was stunned for a moment before asking, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Looking at you, is there something unexpected inside?"

"It's quite unexpected." Su Hailing nodded with a wry smile, "In the past, we almost died without a place to die because of this thing."

"Linglong Jinding!" Mei Junhan blurted out.

"Shocked enough?" Su Hailing asked.

"How could it be..." Mei Jun stayed for a long time before reacting, and murmured, "Linglong Jinding? It's actually at this time... and how could the Linglong Jinding be taken by Qinglian Sword Immortal ten years ago? Is the pawn shop pawned?"

"Besides, that Baiji pawnshop is probably not simple." Su Hailing pondered, "Senior Qinglian, how can you be sure that Baiji pawnshop will not close down or move? After all, ten years is not a short period of time, and everything can happen during this period It could happen. Moreover, what he is pawning is the exquisite golden tripod that everyone dreams of! I'm not afraid that the store owner will embezzle it himself."

"Bai Ji must have a background." Mei Junhan smiled helplessly, "Who would have thought of sending a treasure like Linglong Jinding to a pawnshop for a few taels of silver? Qinglian Sword Immortal...is really a genius, to come up with it Such an unbelievable way."

"No wonder the Linglong Golden Cauldron has not appeared in the world for so many years." Su Hailing said.

"What are you going to do?" Mei Junhan thought about it.

"I think the sentence that the Linglong Golden Cauldron wins the world must be meaningful." Su Hailing said, "It is definitely more than just a symbol or a medicine cauldron."

"What do you think there will be?" Mei Junhan asked.

"To win the world, two things are inseparable, the army, money and food." Su Hailing said confidently, "Linglong Jinding has existed for so long, and the army is unlikely to be passed down from generation to generation, but..."

"You mean treasure?" Mei Junhan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"That's right." Su Hailing nodded and said, "It's related to some mysterious treasure, and if you get the treasure, you can use the money in it to recruit soldiers and horses, isn't it a bit credible?"

"That's just your guess." Mei Junhan said lightly, paused for a while, and said, "Actually, if you want to know the secret of Linglong Jinding, there should be someone else who is useful."

"Oh?" Su Hailing looked at him curiously, "Who?"

"The ghost doctor is not to blame." Mei Junhan replied.

"Senior Wugui?" Su Hailing asked in surprise.

"Don't forget, since Shangguan Xuanji, the evil doctor, knows that Linglong Jinding can cure the poison of lingering, maybe she knows something else." Mei Junhan reminded, "Shangguan Xuanji is dead, but Wugui, the ghost doctor, has learned from her. Going out of the same school, no matter whether you succeed or fail, it is worth trying."

"That's right, I will send someone to find the whereabouts of Senior Wu Jiu." Su Hailing nodded.

"Well, then take me to continue to visit the palace." Mei Junhan said with a smile, "After all, it was hard to enter the palace once."

"Okay." Su Hailing took his hand and walked out.
