With the help of the inner elixir power of the three golden eagles, Long Yuyun's injuries recovered at an alarming speed. In less than two days, Long Yuyun's injuries were completely gone, and his aura was even stronger. , even some old guys from the Dragon Emperor family couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw it, "These three golden eagles' Juyang Nine Spirit Pills are really holy healing products!"
After two days of getting along, Qi Linfeng became more and more fond of the little fat yellow chicken in front of him. No matter what he did, there was no meal that his spiritual energy could not solve. If so, it would be two meals, and three. The golden eagle also seemed to be fascinated by Qi Linfeng's aura. Not only that, it even paid attention to the aura on Long Yuyun.
It was a bright sun in the sky, and Qi Linfeng was wandering around in the palace as usual. Although a few times he went out to buy a lot of good things on the street, and even went to Tianji Pavilion in the North District. , I want to find Mu Yun, but I don’t know what happened in Tianji Pavilion recently. All disciples are patrolling closely, the mountain gate is closed tightly, and visitors are refused. Even their own disciples cannot come out without permission these days. As for Qi Linfeng, he was getting more and more bored.
When Qi Linfeng passed the main hall, Long Yi's voice attracted him, but at this time, Long Yi's voice and tone were obviously wrong. He seemed to be arguing fiercely with someone, and all the servants outside the main hall were He looked embarrassed and trembling, "What's going on? What happened? Why are you so afraid..."
Manager Xu stopped Qi Linfeng from going in and advised: "Oh, Mr. Qi, don't go in now, it's not convenient..." Qi Linfeng naturally guessed what happened inside. , "Uh, Long Yi is quarreling with your Highness again?"
"Hey, in the entire palace, besides His Highness the Third, who else dares to talk to His Highness like this..."
Qi Linfeng asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, please tell me everything. What have your two highnesses been arguing about in the past two days? It feels like it's getting more fierce today."
"Young Master is joking. How dare I ask more about the affairs of the two Highnesses? This is not something that we servants should be concerned about. I would also like to advise the Young Master. Although you have a close relationship with the Third Highness and the Fifth Miss, there are some After all, this matter is a confidential matter within our Dragon Emperor family, so it’s best that you don’t know too much.”
Qi Linfeng was speechless for a moment. Although he had seen Manager Xu's loyalty to the Dragon King family during this period, every time he saw it, he would inevitably sigh in his heart, "Such a loyal subordinate is really... It's so rare that if it were placed in my world, it would probably become a typical textbook..."
Just when Qi Linfeng turned to leave, an old woman's voice came from the side and stopped him, "Mr. Qi, I wonder if you can chat with me for a while. I have something to tell you." It turns out that, The old woman in front of me is the one who cares and cherishes Long Yuyun the most among the entire Dragon King family, except Long Yi. Although she is not a member of the Dragon King family, it was just that the old Dragon King was present at the scene. The poor woman who was rescued was an old man who had stayed in the palace for nearly twenty years, so even Manager Xu was very respectful to her.
The two slowly returned to Long Yuyun's room. Although her breathing was stable at this moment, she had no sign of waking up. It was obvious that the previous damage had done a lot to her, so that her mind was slightly traumatized and she needed to rest and nourish her spirit. , "Grandma Dai, what is so mysterious? Now you can tell me."
She quickly picked up a baggage from the chair nearby and handed it to Qi Linfeng's hand. Her face was solemn, making Qi Linfeng full of questions, "Grandma Dai, what do you mean by this? Bribing... ..Probably not, I have nothing to gain.”
Grandma Dai couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You kid, why is it that Miss Fifth, who is such a serious person, has such an unscrupulous messenger like you? No wonder the lady always called you a hooligan before."
"Hey, mother-in-law, please don't listen to her nonsense. I, Qi Linfeng, am a serious person. There were just some things that were easy to misunderstand before."
"Okay, okay, even though the lady says so on the surface, I can see that the old woman trusts you from the bottom of her heart, and you have a very good relationship with the Third Highness, so you quickly pick up the baggage and leave with the lady. Imperial Palace, please stay away from Longdu for now.”
Qi Linfeng was even more doubtful at this moment, "Leave? What do you mean, why do you want us to leave suddenly for no reason?" Grandma Dai frowned, "In the recent period, the entire Dragon City may not be peaceful. Even the Dragon Emperor family is afraid that things will change..."
"The sky has changed..." Qi Linfeng also seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the matter, "Mother-in-law, do you know something? In fact, from the day I came in, I felt an indescribable sense of depression filling the entire dragon. Royal family."
Grandma Dai shook her head and said with a smile: "Old lady, I'm just a domestic servant. How could I possibly know anything? But I've also been in this palace for decades, and I'm familiar with everything here. Although I don't know exactly what will happen. What, but in the past few years, the palace seems to have been roughly divided into two groups, and there have been some frictions between them in the past. Even us servants have been deeply affected, and there is a sense of oppression that is about to come. Feeling, that’s why I asked you to take the young lady out of Longdu as soon as possible, it’s always right to stay away from the place of right and wrong.”
Qi Linfeng pondered, remembering Long Yi's expression when he said the same thing before, and remembering the secret dealings between Long Zhiyuan and Zhou Ji's family. Everything seemed to be just as Granny Dai said, which made Qi Linfeng deeply feel that something was wrong. Granny Dai Seeing this, he urged again: "Mr. Qi, don't think about it. The current situation is far more complicated than we imagined. It won't be figured out in a short while. In short, you can't be wrong by listening to me. Even if it is really me If you think about it too much, that would be better than letting Fifth Young Lady stay here and suffer unknown dangers."
Granny Dai looked at Long Yuyun who was sleeping on the bed. The love in her eyes could not be faked, "Old lady, I am a woman who was saved by His Majesty the Dragon King from the battlefield. I have no skills. I can only serve tea and water." But my wife also understands the word friendship, especially after my wife passed away due to the difficult childbirth of the fifth lady. I have watched the young lady grow up, and she has long been like my own daughter in my eyes, but the young lady also I don’t know if it is for this reason that I have always been unpopular in the family and have suffered a lot of grievances. For this reason, I don’t want to see the young lady get hurt anymore, so you’d better take the young lady away quickly.”
Qi Linfeng also understood at this time that she and Long Yuyun only saw that they were not relatives more than relatives. But at this moment, Long Yuyun on the bed suddenly said: "No, I won't do it at this time." Just left."
"Miss, are you awake? Are you okay?!"
"Mother-in-law, don't worry. I'm fine. Although I'm still a little weak, don't worry about me." Long Yuyun then asked, "Mother-in-law, you are always at home. You are also the most familiar one in the family. You must know Tell me what happened to make the gangster take me away suddenly."
"Miss..." Granny Dai was obviously embarrassed, "Those are just some guesses that I can't count. You'd better listen to me and don't get involved in these troubles. It's not good for you either. You must return to the academy as soon as possible, at least there are experts like Fei Hong in the academy to protect you, so there is no guarantee that you will not be implicated if you stay here."
Long Yuyun was even more curious and confused, "Mother-in-law, just tell me, is there any huge change in the family?"
Unable to withstand Long Yuyun's almost pleading and coquettish questioning, Granny Dai, who was still looking firm at first, was so chastened that she couldn't help but tell what she had seen and heard in recent years, "Miss, let me tell you Yes, but you have to promise the old lady that you will leave Longdu immediately, do you understand?"
"Okay, mother-in-law, just tell me what happened at home?"
"Eh..." Grandma Dai took a deep breath, as if she had to muster up courage to speak out, "In addition to what I just said, the palace seems to be secretly divided into two factions, Miss. Do you still remember the last time you saw His Majesty the Dragon King?"
"Well, of course I remember that three years ago, due to the strange problem of my spiritual power being blocked, I was unable to successfully summon the spirit. As a result, my father decided to retreat in order to appease the arguments of the elders and people in the family. , in order to seek a higher breakthrough in strength, at the same time, my father also sent me to study at Yuling Academy where my third brother is also there, what’s wrong?”
"Then during your return, did you go to visit His Majesty?"
Long Yuyun shook his head, "No, although I wanted to go to my father to pay my respects as soon as I came back, and I also wanted to ask him about something important, but my eldest brother told me that my father has been in seclusion for more than three consecutive years. It is urgent. At this critical moment, we can't disturb him for the time being." Suddenly, Long Yuyun seemed to have thought of something terrible, with a look of horror on his face, "Mother-in-law, do you mean my father?"
Grandma Dai quickly signaled Long Yuyun to be silent, and then she whispered softly: "Miss, please don't make random judgments. Old lady, I just felt something was wrong through some normal things."
Long Yuyun couldn't calm down at all. He felt as if his head was going to explode. His heart was full of worry, "What's wrong, mother-in-law, please tell me quickly~!"
"Miss, you also know that Your Majesty and Madam both trust me and let me take charge of the main dietary matters in the palace. Therefore, I am responsible for the daily diet of all the servants in the palace, from Your Majesty to the smallest. His Majesty and several I am personally responsible for His Majesty and the young lady, and I never dare to slack off. In fact, since His Majesty has been in seclusion, although he has eaten less, he still eats twice a day with few interruptions. However, about half a year ago, I went to deliver meals to His Majesty. Sometimes, I found that there was a lot of food left from the next day, and sometimes I didn’t even move it.”
Qi Linfeng looked confused, "After all, it's a retreat. This shouldn't be too strange, right? By the way, don't you cultivators have something called fasting?"
"The old lady thought so too at first, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Even if His Majesty didn't eat, she just thought that maybe His Majesty was in retreat and devoted himself to cultivation, so he didn't pay attention to his diet for a while. But in the following time, Not only did this situation not decrease, but it became more and more frequent. Even for the longest period of time, His Majesty didn't eat for nearly a month, and he didn't even touch a drop of soup. This made me worried, even if Retreat, even if it is cultivation, but this is a mortal body after all. It is impossible to completely avoid touching grains for a month, right? So I am worried that Your Majesty will not be able to hold on if he continues like this, so I just want to tell everyone. Your Highness."
"Then, what does eldest brother say?"
"His Highness didn't say anything in particular. He just told me that maybe His Majesty had a breakthrough in strength and didn't need to eat for a while. It also helped me not to be so nervous. Even if something happened, His Highness wouldn't be unaware of it. Yes, so I just told the old lady not to worry too much."
Long Yuyun also nodded and said: "Well, although the eldest brother is usually very strict with me and looks very fierce, he admires his father very much. This can be seen by our brothers and sisters. Besides, the eldest brother is so powerful. Nian is getting more and more powerful, and all the affairs of the clan are taken care of by the eldest brother. In a few years, the next clan leader, the Dragon King, will be appointed. With the eldest brother at the father's side, nothing will happen to him."
Grandma Dai also nodded slightly, but after nodding, her face became a little heavier, "Miss, the old woman naturally knows what you said, but, since then, I am really worried about your majesty's health, so in In the evening, I also prepared a supper and brought it to His Majesty’s stone chamber, but I saw it..."
Long Yuyun frowned, "What did you see?"
"I saw... I saw His Highness and several elders entering His Majesty's stone chamber around midnight. They stayed in there for a full two hours before coming out. During this time, they were Several large boxes were moved in together.”
Qi Linfeng was confused, "That's it? What's so strange about this?"
"But Your Majesty is in retreat. During the retreat, if the retreatant does not open the stone chamber by himself, under normal circumstances, no outsider will be allowed to enter by force from the outside. This is a very dangerous move. If he is not careful, the retreatant will be It's impossible to recover from the madness," Grandma Dai continued with a gloomy face, "And it's not just that, the most important thing is that I waited all night behind the rockery in front of the stone room, and I heard from time to time the sound coming from inside. The sound of painful screams, and that sound comes from His Majesty."
Long Yuyun was instantly shocked, "No, this is impossible, mother-in-law, are you sure you heard it correctly? Is that really my father's cry?!"
"I also hope that I heard it wrong, but the old woman has been in this palace for decades, and she can hear His Majesty's voice almost every day. How could she easily hear it wrong after so many years? And since that night, His Majesty has been in seclusion. The courtyard of the stone chamber is surrounded by an extremely tight and powerful spiritual formation jointly set up by His Highness and several elders. No one can break in without permission, and even food must be brought in through His Highness's personal soldiers."
Qi Linfeng thought of the somewhat unreasonable handling methods shown by Long Zhiyuan before, which also made people feel a sense of awkwardness and disobedience that was difficult to explain, "So what you are saying, mother-in-law, is that His Highness Long Zhiyuan took advantage of your When His Majesty the Dragon King was in seclusion, he did something secretly and even harmed his own father?"
Although Granny Dai did not respond to Qi Linfeng's speculation, the silence on her face made Long Yuyun feel wrong. "No! This is impossible! You bastard, you are talking nonsense here!" Qi Linfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Miss, don't take your anger out on me. Didn't I just follow your words and guess..."
Long Yuyun still found it hard to believe that this was possible, and Granny Dai quickly advised her: "Miss, maybe there are reasons or truths that we don't know, but one thing is for sure. Recently, the Dragon Emperor family will also... Taiping, just listen to my advice and don’t let yourself get involved in this whirlpool, let alone put yourself in a dangerous situation again. I think both your Majesty and Madam don’t want to see it.”
"No, I don't believe it. It's impossible for the eldest brother to do this. He will be the Dragon King sooner or later. There is no reason to do this. Besides, look at it now, don't everyone in the family obey the eldest brother's wishes? I don't believe it. There is no reason for my eldest brother to do such a rebellious thing."
Qi Linfeng said in a low voice: "It's really possible. After all, in this world, power and money are the two things that are most likely to make people lose their nature and reason."
"Miss, even if it's just in case, you should listen to my advice and leave Longdu for the time being. His Majesty had to send you to Yuling Academy despite all the difficulties. The purpose is to prevent you from getting hurt in the family secret fight. You If something happens, how can I, old lady, be worthy of Your Majesty and Madam..."
Long Yuyun's mind was already speechless. No matter how many reasons he found for Long Zhiyuan, the suspicion in his heart was like a stubborn thorn. Once it reared its head, it was difficult to ignore. , Long Yuyun seemed to be lost in thought, "Mother-in-law, let me think about it, let me think about it..."
"Eh..." Granny Dai also knew that such a guess was unacceptable, so she had to sigh and walked out of the room. At the same time, the three golden eagles who had long been in the palace seemed to be in a deserted state. , also jumped in from the window at this moment, seemingly wanting to ask Qi Linfeng for spiritual energy to eat, but when it saw the figure of Granny Dai who was gradually leaving, its face was full of doubts, as if it was looking at something strange. generally.
"Xiao Jinjin, what's wrong with you? You've had enough fun outside and come back to look for something to eat, right?" Seeing the three golden eagles in his hands, Qi Linfeng also had a wry smile on his face, "You This little thing only comes back to me when he wants to eat, so why does he treat me like a 24-hour canteen?"
Long Yuyun slammed the table suddenly and stood up straight, obviously making a decision, "No! I never believe that we are all close relatives. Broken bones are still connected, brother. You wouldn’t do such a thing, I don’t believe it, I’m going to ask!”
Seeing Long Yuyun running towards the main hall in a hurry, Qi Linfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Hey, after all, she is still a young lady who is inexperienced in the world. In the face of money, power, desire, these things, human nature How ugly it will become, how dirty people's hearts will become, I'm afraid you haven't seen it with your own eyes." Feeling the vague sense of oppression everywhere in this magnificent palace of Noda, Qi Linfeng also had a look on his face. Ugly, "I finally came back alive from the hands of anti-entropy. Before, there were waves of spirits and royal-level evil spirits. Wave after wave. Is it really that the rain is about to come? The wind is all over the building, and people in Xishan are also worried about the decline of the sun." ........"
