Chapter 316: Night Visit to the Palace of Heavenly Purity
Xiao Jinghan sneered and said, "Wise King, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!" There was a cold light flashing in his eyes, and the soft sword in his hand was trembling slightly, showing that he was ready to take action.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the wise king quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, it's my uncle's fault! It was my uncle who did not tell you in advance that Military Advisor Kong is my man! But, you also have to understand my uncle! He is the life-saving talisman left to me by my father!" He explained anxiously, hoping to calm Xiao Jinghan's anger.
Seeing that Xiao Jinghan didn't respond, he hurriedly added: "I have a set of jewelry given by the late emperor, which I think is very suitable for your princess to wear! I will send someone to deliver it to you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Jinghan finally put away his soft sword and smiled: "Uncle, please! Military Advisor Kong, please! Someone, bring the good tea!"
Luo Lingyue was stunned watching from the side. She didn't expect that she could trick someone into giving her a set of precious jewelry with just a few words! She couldn't help but sigh that her husband was really smart!
The wise king walked slowly into the house with heavy steps, sat down on the soft chair with a tired look on his face, stretched out his hands and placed them on the stove to warm them gently.
He sighed deeply, his eyes revealing endless sorrow and helplessness: "Ever since my brother was appointed as the crown prince, he has regarded me as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of me all the time. Unfortunately, I was too naive at the time and did not realize this. I still regarded him as a brother. It was not until later that I discovered that he was sinister and cunning, and his methods were extremely cruel. If it were not for Military Advisor Kong, I would have died long ago, and I don't know how many times I would have died!"
After saying that, the wise king turned to look at Kong Boda, his eyes full of gratitude: "Military Advisor Kong not only saved my life, but also taught me many ways to behave in the world. It can be said that he is not only my lifesaver, but also my mentor and helpful friend!"
Then, the wise king turned to look at Xiao Jinghan again, and earnestly instructed: "Now that my great revenge has been avenged, my wish has been fulfilled. From now on, let Military Advisor Kong follow my wise nephew. I hope he can continue to serve the court and assist the King of Qin together with my wise nephew. My wise nephew, please make sure that Military Advisor Kong is safe and never let him suffer any harm again!"
Xiao Jinghan said to Kong Boda with a serious expression: "Uncle, please rest assured! I will do my best to protect Military Advisor Kong's safety. Military Advisor Kong must not reveal his identity until it is absolutely safe! Now, you should return to Emperor Wen as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Kong Boda nodded hesitantly. He said solemnly, "According to my guess, this Jin Xiaohe is very likely someone of the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister. I don't know what methods she used to bewitch Your Majesty so much that Your Majesty can't leave her all the time. What's even more strange is that Your Majesty has begun to completely trust the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister. According to Your Majesty's personality, this is almost impossible!"
At this time, the virtuous king yawned and said lazily: "You guys continue to talk about these important things. I have to go back to accompany the princess."
At this moment, Luo Lingyue suddenly said, "Uncle, if my aunt is about to give birth, can we ask Dr. Xi to come over?"
Upon hearing this, the virtuous king immediately showed joy on his face and said excitedly: "That's great! I'll trouble you, my niece-in-law!"
After the virtuous king left, Xiao Jinghan looked at Luo Lingyue and asked with a teasing tone: "Xiao Yue'er, what do you think, should we go to explore the Qianqing Palace at night?" The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
Kong Boda, who was standing by, looked a little embarrassed after hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, if you and the princess want to go check on His Majesty, then I can go back to the Qianqing Palace first and withdraw the secret guards there..." His voice was low and firm, but his eyes revealed his worry about this decision.
However, Luo Lingyue shook her head gently, her eyes were calm and firm, as if she had already seen through everything.
She said slowly: "No, we can handle the secret guards in the palace ourselves. You should not make any big moves for now, so as not to arouse the prince's suspicion." Her voice was calm and decisive, and it was obvious that she had thought about this issue carefully.
After Kong Boda returned to the palace, he kept wondering what Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue were capable of to avoid the spider-web-like dense secret guards! He was very curious about their abilities, so he decided to find out for himself.
He quietly climbed onto the roof of the Qianqing Palace and hid carefully, not daring to blink for fear of missing any details. He watched every move in the Qianqing Palace intently, hoping to find some clues.
At this moment, a beautiful butterfly flew from a distance and landed lightly on a corner of the palace. Kongboda couldn't help rubbing his eyes, wondering if he was dazzled. How could a butterfly appear in such a cold winter? He was full of doubts, but he didn't want to miss any important information, so he could only continue to observe.
He blinked his eyes and saw his deceased parents and wife. His wife said, "Boda! Come in and have dinner!"
Xiao Jinghan watched Luo Lingyue successfully summon the Dream Butterfly, and he couldn't help but feel touched. This group of beautiful and mysterious butterflies seemed to bring back his memories.
Luo Lingyue urged nervously: "Hurry up! We only have half an incense stick of time!" She gently touched Xiao Jinghan's arm with her elbow, reminding him to act quickly. However, Xiao Jinghan was still a little absent-minded, as if immersed in his own thoughts.
Seeing this, Luo Lingyue frowned slightly, and without hesitation, she took Xiao Jinghan's hand and dragged him towards the Qianqing Palace. Her steps were firm and powerful, revealing a kind of courage and determination.
Xiao Jinghan finally came back to his senses. He looked down at Luo Lingyue's hand, which was tightly held by her. A warm feeling surged in his heart. He asked softly, "Did you learn the summoning technique in another world?"
Luo Lingyue nodded and replied, "Yes! Is there anyone here who can summon the Dream Butterfly?" There was a hint of curiosity and confusion in her tone.
Xiao Jinghan's voice suddenly became low and sad, and he said slowly: "Once upon a time, only my mother could summon the Dream Butterfly..." His eyes flashed with longing for his mother.
Luo Lingyue felt the sadness deep in his heart. She patted Xiao Jinghan's hand gently and comforted him, "Don't be sad. The past cannot be changed, but there is still a long way to go in the future. We will definitely avenge your mother in the future!" Her words were full of firmness and determination, giving Xiao Jinghan endless courage and strength.
