Feng Miaoqing closed the door and sat in the room. She pinched the hem of her clothes with her slender fingers, feeling uneasy in her heart. She frowned and thought to herself: "I wonder where Brother Xiao has gone now? Everyone in the Xuannv Palace treats me sincerely, but everyone else is cold and cold. Look like that. I don’t like to look at them, and they must feel awkward looking at me. Dead lion, stinking lion, I don’t know when will I be able to come back?”
While she was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door, and Feng Miaoqing said with a tight heart: "Who?" The person who spoke was a man with a calm and elegant voice. This person was Lin Zhongquan.
Although Feng Miaoqing had changed her appearance at this time, Lin Zhongquan had been paying attention to her movements. After Feng Miaoqing heard the other party's voice, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. He walked slowly to the door and said impatiently: "Mr. Lin, you and I are no longer engaged, why do you have to bother with it?"
Lin Zhongquan held a brocade box in his hand and said, "Miss Feng, you misunderstood. When Lin saw four-color snacks being sold on the street, he knew they were the girl's favorite food, so he specially bought some for the girl."
Feng Miaoqing pressed her back against the door and said, "Master Lin, thank you very much for your kindness. Please stop worrying about the past. Miaoqing is grateful."
Lin Zhongquan said sadly: "Miss Feng, I know that I failed to stand up when you were suffering that day. You hate me in your heart, but can you give me a chance to change my ways?"
Feng Miaoqing sighed: "Mr. Lin, I already have someone I love in my heart. There is no way between you and me anymore. Please respect yourself." Lin Zhongquan heard her talking about the person she loved, and felt a stab in his chest. hammer.
Even his mouth became bitter, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous and hateful towards the "loved one" in Feng Miaoqing's words. Lin Zhongquan looked at the thing in his hand, and then said to the door: "Can the girl tell me who this person is, so that I can give up."
Feng Miaoqing knew that if he asked this question, he would bring bad luck to Xiao Yunfan, so how could he hurt the one he loved. So he said quietly: "Master Lin, I know you treat me very well. There are some things in the world that you can't force, especially this kind of love. Miao Qing has found her destination, and I hope that the master will find a good wife soon."
Lin Zhongquan stood dumbly outside the door. Suddenly he turned around and said, "I...I will never give up." This conversation between him and Feng Miaoqing happened to reach Jiang Hanyue's ears.
She felt sour in her heart and almost shed tears. It turned out that the man she admired had someone else in mind. Although he didn't say it to her personally, the scene before her made her even more sad.
Jiang Hanyue was already unhappy that Feng Miaoqing had taken away the love of her junior sister, and now that she had taken away the love of her own heart, a strong resentment arose spontaneously from the bottom of her heart. But due to the current situation, she could only turn a blind eye. Xue Lanyi had asked her to take care of the big things before she left, so she had to put her children's personal affairs aside for the time being.
The next day, Shui Hanyan came to Feng Miaoqing's room and prepared to tell her about returning to the mountain. Naihe knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. She pushed open the door with a heartbeat, but there was no deadbolt in the room. I saw a note written on the desktop. Shui Hanyan picked up the note, looked at it, and sighed, "It seems that Sister Feng doesn't want to go with us."
After she informed Jiang Hanyue of Feng Miaoqing's departure without saying goodbye, Jiang Hanyue said lightly: "Since Miss Feng has hands and feet, we cannot stop her. Even if we keep her, her heart is not here. According to me Let her go." Shui Hanyan said: "But...but if Brother Xiao comes back and doesn't see Sister Feng, he will probably be worried."
Jiang Hanyue pinched Shui Hanyan's cheek and said, "You're just a soft-hearted girl. How can you worry about your love rival?" Shui Hanyan lowered his head and said, "I...I..." He didn't say it after all. Jiang Hanyue said sternly: "We can no longer stay here. We should plan to return to the mountain as soon as possible to avoid changes in the family."
But Lin Zhongquan saw that there was no Feng Miaoqing among the disciples of Xuannv Palace, and he wanted to ask several times, but he had to give up due to gossip. He was finally an honest gentleman and agreed to Xue Lanyi to escort the Xuannv Palace disciples back to the mountain, and he fulfilled his promise.
Half a month later, the Xuannv Palace group returned to Zhongnan Mountain, and Lin Zhongquan led his disciples to rush back to Shenjian Pavilion. Jiang Hanyue pretended to be Xue Lanyi at first to hide from others. Firstly, she was really worried that other factions would find a way in and she would not be able to deal with it. Secondly, she was worried that after the news of Xuelanyi's death was released, things would change in the family.
To be on the safe side, she called Shui Hanyan and several senior members of the sect to the study that night after discussing the matter with Shui Hanyan. Let Shui Hanyan and others surround the study. If something happens in the room, Shui Hanyan will lead other disciples to provide support.
Since the chaos two years ago, the vitality of Xuannv Palace has been severely damaged. Among the old people, there are only four chief ministers left to preside over the daily affairs of the palace.
Si Zhangyi was loyal to Xuelanyi, so he would not be suspicious when summoned by "her". After Tian Zhangyi entered the study, the person at the door immediately locked the room. Jiang Hanyue turned her back to the four of them. Tian Zhangyi and the other three bowed and saluted, and then said, "I wonder what the palace master's instructions are for calling us here late at night?"
Jiang Hanyue took off the wig and mask on her head and turned around and said, "I have summoned four of you, the masters." Tian Zhangyi and He Zhangyi looked at each other, quite surprised, and then Asked: "Hanyue, what on earth is going on?"
Jiang Hanyue said with tears in her eyes: "I summoned four of you tonight to tell everyone that the old palace master has passed away." When the four of them heard this, they were all startled.
Tian Zhangyi swayed and covered his heart with one hand to calm himself. She raised her head and said, "Hanyue, what happened to the old palace master?" Jiang Hanyue took out Xuelanyi's letter from her arms and handed it to her, and said slowly: "Tian Zhangyi, I'd better wait until you read it. We will discuss it after writing the letter.”
After the four hosts read the letter, they looked at each other. Jiang Hanyue saw the doubtful looks in the four people's eyes and said slowly: "Four masters, the palace master's handwriting is not wrong."
Tian Zhangyi said: "The handwriting of the Palace Master will definitely be correct, you can rest assured, Miss Jiang. We will naturally abide by the Palace Master's orders, but what happened to the Palace Master?"
Jiang Hanyue took out a document that had been drafted a long time ago, placed it in front of the four of them and said, "It's empty talk, but the four of you still signed this document. I will tell the whole story."
Seeing her aggressive tone, He Zhangyi couldn't help but get angry and yelled: "How presumptuous. Do you think you can make the old lady bow to you with just one finger on the letter? Although the handwriting on this letter is the palace lord's own handwriting, how do you know whether it is or not?" Is it really true?"
Jiang Hanyue knew full well that He Zhangyi wanted to recommend her apprentice, but her proposal was repeatedly rejected by the palace master. If she took out the letter at this time, she would probably still protest.
If you want to take charge of Xuannv Palace, you must surrender this person tonight. Jiang Hanyue glanced at her and said coldly: "So Zhangyi He doesn't believe this?"
He Zhangyi said: "Palace Master, she has always been rigorous in everything she does. This letter of succession is too hasty. If you are unwilling to tell the truth, then I will never agree to your succession as palace master."
Jiang Hanyue said: "The four of you may have misunderstood. This document does not ask the four of you to recognize me as the palace master, but to keep the four secrets about what happened tonight. If not, even if the four of you put a knife on my neck, I will I won’t say a word.”
Manager Tian glanced at the document and signed his name without hesitation, and others followed suit. Tian Zhangyi said: "Girl Jiang, we have signed this document now, it's time for you to speak."
Jiang Hanyue picked up the paperwork on the table, dried the ink on it, then put it in a box and locked it. She glanced at the four of them and said slowly: "Since the four of you have kept your promise, I will tell you the reason.
Our rush to aid the Jiangnan plague that day was a conspiracy set up by the ghost minister. Fortunately, there are many smart and talented people among the group of heroes, so they can't be thwarted by mere tricks.
During the confrontation with the Ghost Xiang Sect, the palace owner Granny received a secret letter from the opponent's Dharma King, the former leader of the sect, Yuan Die. "
Cao Zhangyi interrupted her and asked: "So Lord Yuan is still in the world, but why did she seek refuge with the Ghost Prime Minister?" Jiang Hanyue said: "Because according to the secret letter, several other Lords of our sect are also still alive. In the human world, it is an expedient measure for Master Yuan to stay in the Ghost Prime Minister Sect, and she is trying to inform the sect of the matter so that other lords can be rescued."
Tian Zhangyi said: "So, the Palace Master went there alone, and she wrote the book of passing the throne because she was afraid of something unexpected. Then whether the news that Lord Yuan put down is true, the Palace Master has not considered it?"
Jiang Hanyue's eyes flashed and she said slowly: "The palace master naturally thought that there was doubt in this matter, but she believed in her sister more. We had not seen her for many days in Huizhou and waited for news from the old man. We were worried that the family had changed, so we rushed ahead. return."
Tian Zhangyi had already known about Xue Lanyi's arrangement, but now that the incident happened suddenly, it was really difficult for him to accept it for a while.
Jiang Hanyue also expected that among the four people, as long as Tian Zhangyi nodded, the other three would have no choice but to obey, even if they were unwilling. She sighed: "This disciple knows that his talents and virtues are too shallow to be qualified as the palace master, so he is willing to give up the position of palace master."
Tian Zhangyi said: "Hanyue, you are the candidate appointed by the palace master, and you are also an outstanding person in this sect. There is a letter from the palace master, her old lady. I will support you, old lady, and I will see who dares to disobey."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on He Zhangyi's face, and He Zhangyi hurriedly replied: "Sister Tian, of course I don't dare to disobey your words. But letting Jiang Yatou serve as the palace mistress is just as she said. It’s so shallow that it’s hard to convince everyone.”
Tian Zhangyi said: "Otherwise. First, this is the intention of the Snow Palace Master. If you say she is not good, it means that the Snow Palace Master has no vision." He Zhangyi looked embarrassed and said: "I didn't mean that."
Tian Zhangyi continued: "Secondly, Girl Jiang handled this matter properly. You guys, think about it, if she doesn't release the news that the palace master has returned to the mountain, there is no guarantee that there will be gangsters planning to attack our faction. In that case, we Isn’t it true that the century-old foundation has been destroyed in one fell swoop? Because of her thoughts, the position of palace master belongs to my old lady."
Cao and Bai stood aside and nodded. He Zhangyi wanted to say a few more words, but knew that it would be useless to say more at this time. Moreover, in terms of martial arts, Jiang Hanyue was personally taught by the palace master, so he was far from his opponent. In the current situation, she can only be regarded as the palace master. If not, there is no guarantee that this girl will not wear small shoes for herself in the future.
He Zhangyi rolled his eyes and nodded: "Sister Tian is absolutely right. I was confused just now. What should we do next?"
Tian Zhangyi looked at Jiang Hanyue and said solemnly: "Although the ceremony has not been held now, your title as palace master has been decided tonight. Girl Jiang, can you tell us how we should arrange it?"
The other three eyes also fell on her face. Jiang Hanyue's face turned red and she said: "The elders love you so much, so Hanyue will speak out.
Firstly, it was not appropriate for the news of the Palace Master’s passing to come to light these days. All affairs at home are carried out as usual. However, adhering to the principle of "loose on the outside and tight on the inside", the disciples patrolling down the mountain must be strictly restrained. Second, select some smart and capable disciples to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the old palace master in order to meet her.
Thirdly, any disciples who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished.
Fourthly, the new disciples recruited will be assessed and trained..." The four people heard what she said was reasonable and nodded in approval.
