Ye Zhen came to threaten Qian Danqing, not to discuss with him. She was willing to talk to him politely, not because she was afraid of him, but to give him some face. If Qian Danqing could accept it, it would be better. If not, they would have to fight.
Qian Danqing's chest was filled with anger from the threat, but he couldn't do anything. The sword was hanging from his waist, and he could reach it if he stretched out his hand. However, it was as if his hand was glued to something. No matter how much strength he used, he couldn't move it.
As long as Ye Zhen and the others left the Qian family, he regained his strength and could move.
He was shocked and doubtful. He didn't know how Ye Zhen did it. She didn't even touch him, yet she was able to make him lose all his strength. This was not the same as hitting his acupoints. It was not like he was hit.
Qian Danqing frowned and thought for a while, then left the Qian family and went to the palace.
This was the first time he went out and the first time he came to the palace since he heard that Beitang Xuanwei was missing.
He knew that the palace was destroyed and that a monster had appeared on the street, but he didn't know to what extent.
"Is this still the palace?" Qian Danqing stood outside the palace gate and looked at the destroyed palaces. He couldn't describe the shock in his heart at all.
He knew that the monster was terrible, but he didn't expect it to be so destructive!
"General Qian!" A palace servant recognized Qian Danqing and came up to salute him.
"This was … damaged by that monster?" Qian Danqing asked, pointing to the collapsed Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The palace servant replied, "Yes, the monster looks like a gorilla. It smashed the Palace of Heavenly Purity into ruins with one palm."
Qian Danqing was trapped in the Qian family by Mo Rongzhan that day. He couldn't get out at all, let alone know what the monster in the palace looked like.
"The monster was taller than the Palace of Heavenly Purity …" The palace servant who had seen the monster described what happened that day vividly. "Lord Jiu was killed by the monster, and the Empress was seriously injured. If it weren't for the immortals who appeared later, the Empress might have died …"
"What immortals?" Hearing that the Empress was seriously injured, Qian Danqing's attention was drawn back.
The palace servant said, "It was a young man who killed the gorilla, but he was taken away later. Later … later, several people came, including a huge red phoenix. I heard that there were also monsters outside the palace, and they were the ones who killed them."
Qian Danqing knew that they were talking about Mo Mingxi and the others.
"Everyone said that they are immortals who came to save us." The palace servant said.
"Immortal …" Qian Danqing's face was gloomy. He glanced at the palace that was almost in ruins, then turned and left.
On the way, he met Qian Xiyu, who also had a solemn expression.
"Father, why are you here?" Qian Danqing asked in surprise. Didn't he go to find Master Qin? "I don't think Mr. Qin lives here."
"He's dead." Qian Xiyu said in a daze, "Other than Qin Shiming, Fan Shaohuai and Li Deqing were all … killed by the monster. I just went to the palace to take a look. The palace is in ruins."
Qian Danqing said, "I also went to take a look. The Imperial Palace is no longer the Imperial Palace."
"Son, how did this happen?" Qian Xiyu suffered a great blow. He had only stayed at home for a few days, and the outside world had already changed.
"It's not just the Dark North Kingdom that's changed. The whole world has changed." Qian Danqing said, "Father, where there's life, there's hope. We need to lie low for a while."
Qian Xiyu was silent for a long time. "I'll listen to you."
…
…
Within a few days, a rumor was circulating in every corner of Ding Capital City. It was sung in almost every street and alley.
The Beitang perishes, the pearl shines. Saving the people is Hou.
Many people were asking who Hou was. Later, some people said that Hou was a saint, a saint who could save the Dark North Kingdom.
Especially when they saw Ming Yu descend on the city walls on a phoenix, everyone believed that Ming Yu was their pearl, the pearl that would lead them to peace.
Hou was Ming Yu.
Gradually, some people felt that Princess Ming Yu of the Jin Kingdom was their future emperor.
Anyway, the Dark North Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom were originally separated from the Huangfu Dynasty. The two countries belonged to the same country.
Some scholars began to call on the streets, asking Ming Yu to become their Heavenly Concubine.
"Mother, are those scholars out there sincere?" Ming Yu stood by the window of an inn facing the street and looked down at the scholars who were marching below. She felt that things had happened a little too fast these few days.
She went from a Princess Ming Yu of the Jin Kingdom to the savior of the Dark North Kingdom in the blink of an eye. It seemed that as long as she became their Heavenly Concubine, all the problems of the Dark North Kingdom could be easily solved.
"They really believe that you can become the wise Heavenly Concubine of the Dark North Kingdom." Ye Zhen said to Ming Yu with a smile.
"If I don't do well in the future, won't they be very disappointed?" Ming Yu was still a little nervous. She knew very well that a Heavenly Concubine was different from a princess. In the future, some things could not be willful.
Everyone in the world would be watching her.
Ye Zhen looked at her daughter seriously. "Do you think you will not do well?"
"I will try my best." Ming Yu whispered. "I want to save Yan Xiaoliu. Only when I become stronger can I help him."
"Who told you that?" Ye Zhen asked softly. She knew that Ming Yu had been protected by Murong Ke since she was a child. She became more and more lazy. If she was not forced, she would not let herself suffer at all, let alone work hard to become a Heavenly Concubine.
Ming Yu said, "Father said that when I grow up, I can't always stand behind Yan Xiaoliu. We have to protect each other and fight side by side."
Mo Rongzhan was worried that Yan Xiaoliu would really lose his memory in the future and be accepted as a disciple by Fan Luo, becoming more powerful than he is now. If Ming Yu was just a mortal and knew nothing, I'm afraid that she would only go further and further away from Yan Xiaoliu.
To save Yan Xiaoliu, Ming Yu really had to change herself.
Ye Zhen rubbed her daughter's head in distress. She hoped that her daughter would live a carefree life. She never thought that she would have to go to this step.
"Mother, when are we going to the palace?" Ming Yu asked.
"The palace has been repaired. We are not in a hurry." Ye Zhen said, "I've sent someone to tell Murong Ke about it. I have to tell him."
Ming Yu's face flashed with nervousness. "Will father object?"
"How could he object? No matter what you do, we will support you, including your father." Ye Zhen said. She didn't care that Ming Yu still called Murong Ke father. When she and Mo Rongzhan were away, it was Murong Ke who guarded Ming Yu. The father-daughter relationship between them was something she and Mo Rongzhan could not compare with.
"Well, but where is father now?" Ming Yu asked. She knew that Murong Ke had gone on patrol in disguise, but now she didn't know where he was.
"In Wu Ling County." Ye Zhen said.
Ming Yu's eyes lit up. "Isn't that the hometown of Concubine Hui?"
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. She still had a hope in her heart. She hoped that Murong Ke and Lei Bingfu would find each other the most suitable for each other. She really hoped that someone could accompany Murong Ke to grow old.
