Although in the past two years, as the fifth prince has grown up, he has become extremely intelligent, and has done extremely well in several errands, earning the emperor's praise. However, after all, Yao Concubine is the cousin of the imperial concubine, and she has always followed the imperial concubine's lead. Even if the fifth prince has different intentions, he cannot threaten His Highness the third prince for the time being.
In fact, the main opponent of His Highness the Third Prince now is not the Fifth Prince, but the First Prince and the Second Prince.
But for some unknown reason, His Highness was extremely wary of the Fifth Prince and was eager to deal with him first.
Yuyao Mountain, a narrow escape from death, if the Yao concubine hadn't forced it, and if the fifth prince hadn't insisted on it, how could the emperor be willing to let his beloved son take this risk.
The emperor has been able to endure it until now, which is considered to be patient.
What Nanny Zhong is most worried about now is how the emperor will view the son of the third prince once the fifth prince dies in Yuyao Mountain, and whether he will dislike the third prince from then on.
"Whether he can come back or not, I can accept it, but Ke'er, for some unknown reason, has regarded Wei Jin as a life-and-death enemy in the past six months, and is more afraid of him than Wei Li and Wei Bing. , I, as a mother, naturally cannot bear to see my son unhappy, so in order for Ke'er to be happy, it is better for Wei Jin not to come back. As long as Ke'er can ascend to that position in the future, I will treat Zhong Yao well, which is considered complete. obeyed his instructions."
"What your Majesty said is that everything should be based on the wishes of His Highness the Third Highness. My Majesty, tomorrow I will take people to Da'an Temple outside the city to offer incense and pray for Your Highness the Fifth Highness?"
Aunt Fu asked tentatively.
Concubine Zhong thought for a moment and slowly shook her head, "You go... the portion is not enough. You will leave the palace early tomorrow morning and go to Ke'er's house and ask him to go there in person. Da'an Temple... is too close and the road is too good. Let him go to... Yaowang Temple, the road is far enough and the mountain is high enough, so we can show our sincerity."
"Would His Highness be unwilling?" Aunt Fu was a little worried.
"Tell him what the emperor said here tonight, and tell him that if he still wants that position, he will listen to me. Although the emperor does not like Wei Li, Wei Bing is indifferent to fame and fortune. In appearance, Wei Kang, the fourth child, is unassuming and has a simple appearance without any scheming. However, after all, Wei Li is the legitimate son of the middle palace, and Wei Bing is also the son of Concubine Shu. Wei Kang is precisely because of that. He has a pure and kind appearance, and was praised by the emperor, saying that he has a pure heart."
Concubine Zhong sighed heavily, "With three powerful enemies like this, you tell him that no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he must go to this incense, otherwise he will not come to Zhong Yu Palace to see me again. I I don’t want to see him.”
Mother Fu complained in her heart. Naturally, she did not dare to say this last sentence to the third prince, but she also knew that the third prince had a grudge against the fifth prince. Even if the fifth prince went to Yuyao Mountain to collect the magic medicine Yuyao flower, It was to cure his cough. The third prince also wanted the fifth prince to die in Yuyao Mountain, but did not want the magic medicine.
When he went to the Third Prince's Mansion, he could only act according to the situation and try his best to let the Third Prince go to Yaowang Temple without angering him.
"It's been such a long time. Logically speaking, it's time for Luxi to come over!"
Geng Xingshuang looked up at the sky, looking at the crescent moon in the sky. For some reason, she felt a little sad.
I haven’t seen him for more than a year. I wonder if he has changed now. Has he grown taller again?
With this thought in mind, Geng Xingshuang walked to the door frame, stood up straight with her back leaning against her head, and then turned around to look at the distance between her finger and the mark she had made before.
"How come you have grown so much in nearly two years!"
Geng Xingshuang sighed, her fiancé was already tall and tall. The last time he came back, she only reached his chin. If he had grown taller again this time and was taller than herself, wouldn't she just be taller than him? Can it reach his shoulders?
"Jinbao!"
"Girl, are you calling your servant?"
"Did you say before that you can grow taller by practicing martial arts?" Geng Xingshuang looked at her expectantly.
Jinbao nodded and affirmed: "Yes! Girl, do you want to practice martial arts? Although it's a little late for you to practice martial arts at your age, girl, it's never too late to keep fit."
Geng Xingshuang glanced at Jinbao from head to toe and hesitated.
Jin Bao jumped to his feet and said, "Girl, what are you looking at? Don't look at me. In fact, my father is not tall either, but I once heard my father say that my grandfather was shorter than my father, that's why I can grow so tall. It’s still due to martial arts training. Oh, girl, if you don’t believe it, you’ll know if you try it.”
Anyway, the girl is only fourteen years old this year, so it stands to reason that she should be a little longer. Then it will be said that it is because of martial arts training, hehe.
Geng Xingshuang felt that what Jin Bao said made sense. Anyway, now that Mingshang Pavilion was on the right track and his second uncle had become like that, I was afraid that he wouldn’t have time to scheme against others. He also had time, so he could learn some self-defense skills. At least he wouldn’t have to think too much. .
Geng Xingshuang was thinking like this and didn't notice Jin Bao's slightly guilty look in his eyes.
"Okay, I will go to Yaowang Temple tomorrow. When I come back, I will ask Sister Zhanpei to teach me kung fu."
"Sister Zhan teaches me..."
Jinbao was a little disappointed at first, and then he became happy, "It just so happens that I can follow suit."
What Geng Xingshuang didn't know was that the person she was thinking about tonight was already close to the top of Yuyao Mountain, one of the most dangerous places in Daning.
The fifth prince and his party finally reached the top of Yuyao Mountain after dozens of days.
The shallow mountains are still covered with deep grass and dense forests, and are lush green. Halfway up the mountain, on a May day, the wind blowing on people's faces gradually turns into a chill from the light coolness at the beginning, until in the hot summer, I feel the harsh north wind. The wind blows so hard that the seams between people's bones are filled with ice. As far as the eye can see, there is no trace of green anymore, but pure white.
This is a world of ice and snow, a terrifying white peak.
The fifth prince Wei Jin and his party were going to the top of this peak, where there grew an ancient or sacred tree that was said to be three thousand years old - the Yuyao tree.
The jade-yao tree blooms once every three years. Its flowers have nine petals and eighteen layers. From the inside to the outside, the flower colors range from dark to light. When the outermost petals appear clear and transparent, it is jade. When the Yao flowers are in their most blooming state, it is also the time when the medicine is most effective. However, this state only lasts for about thirty days at most. If no one picks it, it will wither. The withered Jade Yao flowers will not wither so quickly, but The medicine has lost its efficacy and has no effect at all.
It is recorded in ancient books, "Although the jade-yao flower is a magical medicine, it is not easy to pick. The top of the mountain is steep and steep, gathering the cold of heaven and earth. There are many ferocious beasts around the jade-yao tree. Nine deaths are not enough to justify the danger!"
There is also a folk legend that if you want to use Yuyao flowers to save people, the blood relatives of the rescued people must go to the top of Yuyao Mountain to show your sincerity. This way the medicine is most effective.
This is just a folk rumor with no evidence. For such a rumor that is not known to be true or false, the dignified nobleman Tianhuang went to danger personally. In the eyes of the Wucheng Escort Bureau, the fifth prince was either interested in a certain person. We cherish our sick relatives very much, and we will save their lives even if we don’t care about our own lives.
