How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

In fact, there was one thing she forgot to tell Xu Chengling, that is, she could sense Xu Chengling's condition through her natal bead, and he had the same effect.

After talking with Sun Yuyi, Xu Chengling came to the exit of the palace and was about to leave.

At this moment, a pretty yellow figure landed silently in front of him. The golden kite headdress on her head rang slightly, and a crystal clear glass ring was worn on her jade hand.

Xue Yuan smiled at him, made a gesture of invitation, and said:

"Xu Xiangguo, my master wants to see you."

"Your master?"

Xu Chengling was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Xue Yuan was born in Yujingfang, so wasn’t her master the owner of Yujingfang?

Xu Chengling couldn't help but think of the peerless white figure on the martial arts field, the world's number one master and the world's most beautiful woman, Gongsun Da Niang.

He had only seen this extraordinary woman from afar and had never seen her true face carefully.

But why does the owner of Yujingfang want to see him?

"Auntie Gongsun?"

"You'll know when you see her. Come with me."

After saying that, Xue Yuan led Xu Chengling towards Yujingfang.

From beginning to end, she never said who she wanted to meet, and he would only know after he met her.

Chapter 264: Aunt Gongsun

Xu Chengling followed Xue Yuan, left the palace, and walked for some distance before arriving at Yujingfang.

Once upon a time, Yujingfang was a place where the emperor used to have fun. A high-rise building was built not far from the imperial palace. Beauties were recruited from all over the place, and there was revelry and debauchery every night.

But later, a man came to Yujingfang and rebuilt it. Later, Yujingfang became a place specifically for cultivating the dragon-guarding lineage for the emperor.

The owner of Yujingfang is a woman who once protected many emperors. She has no name, and people only know her last name as Gongsun. Because she practiced the art of longevity, she has always retained her youthful appearance.

It is said that Gongsun was already over 100 years old, and was named Gongsun Daniang because of her ageless appearance.

Yujingfang is a place specially designed for cultivating the dragon-guarding lineage. Even the emperor is not allowed to enter at will, let alone ordinary people, who may never be able to enter Yujingfang in their lifetime.

Looking up at the tall building in front of him, Xu Chengling couldn't help but take a deep breath. He also wanted to know what the interior of the legendary Yujingfang looked like.

As the two stepped forward, a dark shadow appeared quietly and said in a cold voice:

"Please stop, everyone. Please leave immediately."

Xu Chengling looked back at the black shadow and was shocked. He had not sensed the other party's presence at all.

This is a very scary thing. If this black shadow wants to harm him, he might not even know how he died.

"The abbot has given the order that he can go in."

Xue Yuan took out a token from her bosom, on which the word "Gongsun" was clearly engraved.

The man in black was slightly surprised when he saw the token, then he slowly retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

"Please come in, the abbot is inside."

"Xu Xiangguo, come with me."

Xue Yuan put away the token and came to the gate. There was a mechanism lock in front of her, which could only be opened according to the prescribed method.

If you think your life is too long, you can try to force your way in. You will definitely die quickly.

After some fiddling, Xue Yuan opened the door and walked in with Xu Chengling.

The space inside suddenly became clear, and when Xu Chengling saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

What he saw before him was a huge wine pool, surrounded by pillars carved from white jade, the ground was paved with golden bricks, and a huge luminous pearl hung above the head, displaying the luxury.

Compared with this, the interior of Huaying Tower is simply dwarfed by it.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Chengling couldn't help but think of a word: a pool of wine and a forest of meat.

But there is no wine in the wine pool now, just ordinary water. However, there are many beauties here.

From the time Xu Chengling entered Yujingfang until he arrived here, all he saw were beauties whose looks would at least be stunning if they were shown to outsiders.

There were so many beautiful women in Yujingfang that he originally thought it was just a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.

But soon, Xu Chengling's eyes fell on a white figure in front of him.

I saw a woman in white gauze sitting beside the wine pool, soaking her two white legs in the wine pool, her waist-length black hair casually tied with a white ribbon, a sword mark adorned her forehead, and her beautiful face was like a fairy who was not of this world, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Even after meeting her again, Xu Chengling was still amazed by her.

At this moment, the fairy in white raised her head, and her clear eyes glanced towards him.

She was barefoot, and she lightly stepped on the ground and leaped in front of Xu Chengling.

At such a close distance, Xu Chengling was able to see the other person's true appearance. The exquisite and flawless beauty was simply breathtaking.

"Hello, fairy."

Seeing the woman in white in front of him, Xu Chengling could only think of using the word "fairy" to describe her.

Xue Yuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw his obsessed look. You know, many people don't even have the chance to meet the abbot.

Even in the martial arts arena, she wore a veil. There were only a handful of people in Dayan who could see the abbot's face with their own eyes.

"Fairy? I don't deserve it. I am just a mortal."

The woman in white shook her head slightly and said with a smile on her face.

Her every frown and smile seems to be captivating and heart-stirring.

"My name is Gongsun, you can just call me Gongsun."

The woman in white said again. She looked at the man in front of her. Her beautiful face pondered for a moment, then she took a few steps on the spot, her lips slightly parted, and she murmured:

"In the past, there was a beautiful lady named Gongsun. Her sword dance moved all four directions. The spectators were as depressed as the mountains, and the heaven and earth were depressed for a long time. Did you write this?"

“I should have written it.”

Xu Chengling thought about it and remembered that when he was on the martial arts stage, he wrote a poem for Gongsun Da Niang's sword dance and won the first prize.

It’s just that when this poem is read out personally, it has a different flavor.

"Master Xu, I like this poem very much. It expresses my sword dance very vividly."

Gongsun Da Niang smiled faintly. She really appreciated the poem that the other party wrote for her.

This was the first time in all these years that someone had written a poem that moved her heart. She seemed to have almost forgotten this feeling.

"If you like, I can compose a few more for you."

Xu Chengling touched his nose and said that he felt a little embarrassed to be praised by the other party.

If she still wanted, he could copy more... no, write a few more poems. He had a lot of ink in his belly, especially when it came to writing about beauties. He knew a lot about that.

Madam Gongsun shook her head, smiled at him and said:

"No, one good poem like this is enough. No matter how many, it won't give me this feeling."

"What Madam Gongsun said makes sense."

Xu Chengling nodded and said.

"Pfft..."

"..."

Seeing the smile that appeared naturally on the other person's beautiful face, Xu Chengling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Her smile was less fairy-like, but more worldly.

"Do I look very old?"

Gongsun Da Niang couldn't help but ask him back.

Xu Chengling found this question difficult to answer. If one only looked at her appearance, there was no doubt that Gongsun Da Niang was at the most attractive age for a woman.

But judging from her actual age, the other person is too young to be his grandmother.

So what should he call her, Grandma Gongsun or Sister Gongsun? It seems that neither is appropriate.

"I have long forgotten my own name, and now I only remember the two characters Gongsun."

Madam Gongsun spoke to herself.

"You can just call me Madam."

Then, Madam Gongsun looked towards Xu Chengling and said:

"You should be the descendant of that person."

"Which person?"

"The alchemist Xu Fu."

Gongsun Da Niang uttered a shocking name.

But what Gongsun Da Niang said next made Xu Chengling even more shocked.

She slowly opened her mouth and said:

"Xu Fu should still be alive."

Chapter 265: Every frown and smile, like a startled wild goose

Very few people know the name Xu Fu.

And there are only a handful of people in Dayan who know the alchemist Xu Fu.

Even Xu Chengling only learned about this person's existence from the old prime minister, a shocking secret about the Xu family.

Today's Xu family is the descendant of the alchemist Xu Fu, and Xu Fu was from the Qin Dynasty. In other words, all members of the Xu family are from the Former Qin Dynasty.

The Xu family has been secretly accumulating strength and cooperating with the rebels in an attempt to overthrow Dayan's rule. Until the old prime minister's lineage, they are still pursuing this goal.

But the old prime minister never expected that when it came to Xu Chengling's lineage, he suddenly didn't want to rebel anymore.

Although Xu Chengling was also a member of the Xu family, he was only an adopted son and did not have the blood of the Xu family in his body. A Former Qin? A rebel? He was really unfamiliar with them.

It is conceivable that if the empress knew about this, Xu Chengling would probably lose his head.

That's why when Aunt Gongsun said the four words "alchemist Xu Fu", Xu Chengling was so shocked. He never thought that Aunt Gongsun actually knew the ancestor of the Xu family.

But what shocked him even more was that according to the old lady, his ancestor might still be alive?

Xu Chengling's breathing couldn't help but become rapid and heavy.

Rather than losing his head, he cared more about Xu Fu's life or death. Xu Fu was the most famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty. Wasn't that the person he had been looking for who could make gunpowder?

So he quickly asked the woman in front of him:

"Auntie, do you know if Xu Fu is still alive?"

In response to his question, Gongsun Da Niang smiled slightly and then replied:

"Even if I die, it won't be that easy for her to die. I owe my abilities to her."

Gongsun Da Niang closed her eyes slightly, and the memories in her mind slowly returned to the past.

Her name is Gongsun Huairou.

That year, the Gongsun family, which was once one of the four great families of the Qin Dynasty, suffered a devastating disaster. She was the only one who survived in the ruins of the Gongsun family.

Gongsun Huairou crawled out from the ruins, covered in blood and with messy hair. He stood there in a daze as he looked at the tragic scene in front of him.

At this time, a woman in a black robe and with long black hair appeared in front of Gongsun Huairou, gave her a golden pill, and said to her:

"If you want to live, eat it. From now on, there will be no Gongsun family in the world."

Out of desire for life, Gongsun Huairou swallowed the golden elixir, and then her wounds were healed and her body was suddenly filled with strength.

When Gongsun Huairou wanted to thank the other party, the mysterious woman suddenly disappeared.

"My name is Xu Fu."

She only left these words and never appeared again.
