Chapter 59: There are early signs [Seeking follow-up reading]

"You have great fortune, so I'll give you this dragon essence in exchange for phoenix blood and tortoise spirit, okay?"

"..."

Wei Mingqi looked at the old eunuch's expression in front of him, trying to see if he was hinting at something. The turtle spirit was fine, but the phoenix blood——

He couldn't pick up a knife and kill Shi Fengguan, right?
"The Queen was ambushed with the army back then, and gave birth to Your Majesty prematurely before her death. As a result, Your Majesty is born weak and his life span is shortened. Even if the Dragon Essence and Tiger Soul are used to rebuild the foundation, it cannot completely make up for it. Only Phoenix Blood 'Nirvana' and Turtle Spirit 'Eternal Youth' can do it."

"Now that your majesty is getting older, it is hard to hide his illness. The Southwest is trying to seize the sore spot and stir up public opinion in Guanzhong, hoping to bring back the Southwest royal family to prolong the reign of the Daqian. If this continues, the court will also be in chaos."

"..."

Wei Mingqi knew that the empress was in poor health. When he beat her when she was a child, Wu Tongtong would cough when she cried and was anxious.

Now that she's grown up, she's even more useless. She's less than 1.6 meters tall, but Wei Mingqi can beat her without using his hands.

Although he had given her the cold shoulder before, she was still a childhood sweetheart after all, and there was also the affection of Wanren Mountain. Wei Mingqi was sensible and responded:
"I know. After all, I watched her grow up. I won't ignore her."

"That's good. I'm old now, please don't worry about some things."

Wanrenshan pretended to be old and frail:
"Even if I close my eyes and die, I will be at peace."

"..."

Others seeing his hunched back and old tone would probably think that he was dying.

But Wei Mingqi knew that even after more than ten years, this old eunuch could still fight with a hundred punches against the "Blue Dragon of the Human World" by stretching his waist.

"I understand. The future is mine."

Wei Mingqi resisted the urge to raise his middle finger and jumped up: "I'll go out to the martial arts world when I get a chance. You stay here and enjoy the sunshine. Just don't let the Queen Mother cause any trouble—"

"..."

Looking at his graceful back that took off and landed like a kite, Wan Renshan's eyes flashed with genuine envy.

Turning around and looking back at the green tiles and red walls, he was extremely familiar with even every blade of grass and every tree during these long decades.

But what is the world like?

He has never been to Wanren Mountain.

Garnet Lane.

The door of the side wing was pushed open, and the plump Shu Xing walked into the yard on crutches and asked the two women who were picking vegetables:
"Why is there no movement? Thank you, Master Dao, do you think the young master was beaten to death?"

"..."

"Miss Yu, please say 'Puh, Puh' twice--"

Before the cold-faced woman could speak, the guest next to her looked up and said, "It's not auspicious to say such unlucky words at this time."

Yu Qing glanced at Shi Fengque, who looked childish and seemingly younger than her age, and said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, where is the thing your nephew gave you?"

"I……"

The latter bit her lip and lowered her head half in self-blame and half in grievance.

"Ah--"

"All right."

Xie Beiling, who was picking winter vegetables with her head down, said calmly: "She doesn't know that people leave so early, it's not like she's sleeping in."

"..."

Seeing someone talking to him, Shi Fengque was touched and his peach-like buttocks couldn't help but move towards "Master Xie".

Thank you, Master, for being so kind.

This man named Yu Qing looks gentle and generous, but his words and actions are actually cunning and he likes to poke people with hidden meanings when he has nothing to do.

Not a good person.

Yu Qing was surprised to see Shi Fengque hiding around people like a rabbit.

After all, she is a "royal concubine". How did she survive in the palace with such a personality?
If you throw it into the world, you will be treated in eight hundred different ways.

"Thank you, Daoshou, you really don't want to go and take a look?"

Yu Qing did not forget to tease while talking about serious matters: "I am not in the way at home. If Jin Liancheng comes to find me, I will run away with crutches. Anyway, I don't have any treasures hidden on me."

"..."

Again!

When Shi Fengque heard this, her hands became heavier while picking vegetables. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth, thinking: If that really happens, if she can't snatch the crutches away from her, she will at least kick this witch's lame leg hard.

Let's die together. Although she hated him so much in her heart, she didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of being bullied.

Master Xie beside him also spoke up at this time: "He said he would be back at noon."

"Do you believe what he said?"

"I believe it. He has never lied to me since he was a child. He has done everything he promised me, and he is still doing what he hasn't done yet. This child is sensible."

"..."

Maybe this is the unique "filter" of being a teacher.

Let’s not talk about whether it is a lie or not.

Children, sensible——

Well, that's fine.

No matter how Wei Mingqi behaves in front of others, he will restrain himself when he is with Xie Beiling. The longer he spends with the master and disciple, the more he feels this way.

"It's also thanks to Wei Mingqi meeting Master Xie when he was a child."

Shi Fengque sighed, "When I first knew who he was, I was scared. It took me a few times to get to know him and realize that he was not a bad person and that he valued friendship. If Master Xie hadn't guided him back then, I'm afraid things would be very different now."

"..."

Xie Beiling's slender almond-shaped eyes were a little dazed.

"also not."

She subconsciously explained: "I only took care of him for a few days back then, and in the following years he was in the palace, and was raised by Lord Wan."

Yu Qing, who was leaning on a crutch beside him, smiled when he heard this: "Master Xie, believe it or not, those few days meant more to the young master than these five years."

"..."

Not knowing what to say, Xie Beiling could only bow her head and praise:

"He remembers grace."

Yu Qing felt that if he were a man, he would probably fall in love with this woman regardless of worldly matters. Some of the power in this woman was extremely lethal to the people of the world.

"It's because of Nian En, young master. Sometimes I even want to pledge my love to you."

"..."

Shi Fengque was picking vegetables while listening with his ears perked up, feeling a little excited.

Right.

She had seen the signs early on.

That guy named Wei has wanted to contradict his mentor for a long time. He is not a good person.

"Thank you, Daoshou——"

Mei Xing, who was feeling bad inside, was about to add fuel to the fire, but suddenly she heard footsteps coming from the roof above her head. She raised her head sharply, and the ice on her beautiful face melted instantly.

"I'm home--"

She had become more and more familiar with the use of the cane in the past two days. She quickly went over to the young man and looked him over with her almond-shaped eyes without blinking:
"Not hurt?"

"……kindness."

Wei Mingqi, who had just rushed over, felt relieved when he saw the peaceful scene in the courtyard, and a smile appeared on his face:

"He just went there to warm up, and was killed with a few punches. How could he be injured?"

"have a look--"

Yu Qing came close to him, with the millstone next to him, and turned to Xie Beiling and the other two girls, with a tone that sounded like a lecture to the daughter-in-law of the Wei family:

"There must be a man in the family. Won't it show up when something happens? If there is no young master, we will be bullied to death."

"..."

Make sense.

Wei Mingqi was not a sex-hungry person before, and he would not be seduced by a few words from anyone.

But this time, as soon as the warm and elastic cotton got close to him, he reacted instinctively.

At once--

In front of him, Xie Beiling had a blank expression on his face, while Shi Fengque next to him had his eyes wide open and covered his mouth in fear as if he had seen a ghost.
