Chapter 497: Continue the Show
"Hurry, hurry, my two beloved ministers, please stand up!" Bei Yunting looked at Yi Qianhuan and the other two, smiling happily from ear to ear, "You have finally returned victorious after a long journey of many days, and I am very happy! No matter what reward you want today, I will agree to it!"
Bei Zhanye's face did not show much emotion, he remained kneeling the whole time: "Your Majesty, I am exhausted after this long journey, and I think my princess, son, and daughter are also exhausted from taking care of the Queen Mother. Please have mercy on me and send my family back to the Regent's Palace to rest."
Bei Yunting heard the hidden meaning of Bei Zhanye's words. He stroked his beard and said with a half-smile, "Speaking of which, my sister-in-law and his family have been having a hard time recently. I have always trusted my brother, so I love my brother and his family, and have always left my mother to your sister-in-law's care. My brother, you are not going to blame me because you feel sorry for your sister-in-law, right?"
"Royal brother, you and I shouldn't say these things between brothers. Mother is unwell, and I am worried about her. But on the way back, I heard that Mother has recovered a lot, so I wanted to take my wife and children home to rest for a while." Bei Zhanye's expression did not show any dissatisfaction.
Yi Qianhuan stood aside and couldn't help but sigh that Bei Zhanye was really a man who could bend and stretch.
The Empress Dowager is in poor health. The imperial physician has examined her and said that no medicine can cure her. All she can do is to hold on one day at a time. There is absolutely no chance of her getting better.
What Bei Zhanye just found were just excuses, and Bei Yunting knew Bei Zhanye's real intention very well, but this pair of brothers would save face for each other.
It is clear that this seemingly calm mutual testing is like the calm before a storm on the sea. It seems peaceful and safe, but in fact it represents the coming of a storm.
"I know that the emperor is the most filial. In this case, please let my sister-in-law work harder for a few more days, and let your two children go home to reunite with you first. After the empress dowager's body is completely recovered, I will definitely reward my sister-in-law." Bei Yunting had a smile on his lips, and his eyes revealed a sense of oppression when he looked at Bei Zhanye.
Such words proved that Bei Yunting was unwilling to let him go.
Bei Zhanye was extremely anxious. He still wanted to fight for it, but he first heard Ji Chilian beside him sneer.
"The Queen Mother is a precious woman, and our Yun Zhao Kingdom values filial piety the most. The Queen Mother trusts the Regent Princess so much, the Regent should be happy, why is he showing an unhappy expression? Could it be that the filial piety that the Regent usually says is actually fake?"
Ji Chilian looked at Bei Zhanye with a cold gaze: "No wonder the Regent said one thing in front of you and another behind your back this time when he went out. I guess he has been with the National God for too long and has picked up a lot of bad habits."
"Ji Chilian, are you looking for a fight?" Yi Qianhuan's emotions were provoked, and murderous intent rolled in her phoenix eyes. She wanted to use her eyes to make two big holes in Ji Chilian. "You have been looking for trouble several times along the way, and I forgave you for the emperor's sake. But you have become even more aggressive. Do you really not take me, the national god, seriously?"
"If the national god wants to be respected, he should first do something worthy of respect, instead of hiding the treasure and disappointing the emperor!"
"What does the governor mean by this?" Bei Yunting suddenly became interested. He fixed his eyes on Yi Qianhuan with a bit of sharpness, and his voice was tinged with a hint of coldness: "National God, you will not let me down, will you?"
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you. I do have a special treasure in my hand, and I am about to present it to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will listen patiently to my explanation of all the details about this item." Yi Qianhuan said as he took out the Crownless Mirror from his arms.
A light appeared on the surface of the Uncrowned Mirror, and then Qin Qiansui's soul was sent out by the Uncrowned Mirror.
"Your Majesty, this is a soul body that was created from the soul of the Holy Son of Beiyou. According to our investigation, a total of eighteen Holy Sons appeared in Beiyou in the past thousand years. Their names and appearances are different, but their souls actually come from one person. In other words, the Holy Son of Beiyou has lived in this world for thousands of years by constantly changing his body and being reborn."
Bei Yunting was greatly shocked: "Is there such a mysterious thing?"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true." Yi Qianhuan quickly told Bei Yunting everything about Qin Qiansui, word for word.
Bei Yunting heard the last part, and greed could not be concealed in his eyes: "So, as long as this soul is absorbed, anyone can gain the ability to be reborn repeatedly?"
"Yes. Qin Qiansui's experience is enough to prove that all this is true. Your Majesty, as long as you swallow this soul, you can be guaranteed to be reborn after you die and live forever."
Bei Yunting was so excited that he didn't even notice that his hands were shaking with excitement.
Live forever.
Although these words are simple, they are extremely attractive to anyone.
Especially since Bei Yunting himself is the emperor, he is above everyone else. If he could gain eternal life, it would mean that he could be the emperor forever.
"Yi Qianhuan, you are so ridiculous! How could there be such a ridiculous thing in this world that people can be reborn by changing their bodies? All of this is just a lie you made up to win favor." Ji Chilian interrupted Yi Qianhuan at this time and knelt directly in front of Bei Yunting, "Your Majesty, please don't believe these slanderous words. Yi Qianhuan, as a national god, believes in this kind of evil witchcraft. It is obvious that she must have many dirty thoughts in her heart and intends to murder your majesty."
"Lord Governor, as a national god, I naturally hope that Yunzhao will prosper. Your Majesty is a wise ruler. If he lives longer, Yunzhao will surely become the best in the world. This is all I wish for, but you are instigating me in every possible way. I wonder what your intention is?"
Yi Qianhuan stared at Ji Chilian: "Could it be that the Governor has some special reason why he doesn't want to see the Emperor live forever?"
"Yi Qianhuan, stop trying to sow discord here. I am loyal to the emperor, as the sun and the moon can attest!" Ji Chilian's face suddenly darkened, and he forced out these words through gritted teeth.
"Haha, who doesn't say these nice things? Ji Chilian, if you dare to stop me again, it will be disrespectful to the emperor and intend to rebel, so you'd better think carefully about what to do next." Yi Qianhuan pushed the soul in his hand forward.
"Your Majesty, the soul can only provide one chance for eternal life. It can only play its greatest role when the moon is full seven days later, when yin and yang meet. At that time, I am willing to bind with your soul and help you absorb the soul and gain eternal life."
