Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 525
Chapter 525 Return Of Heaven’s Will
When she returned to the bedroom again, Mingzhu had already gotten up. She was dressed very neatly, just like when she was about to go up to the hall, and her face was covered with a veil.
“Are you going to the Upper Hall?” Qin Mubai stepped forward and asked.
“Even though I’m a terrible king, I still have to appear at court meetings every day …” Pearl twisted her head and lowered her forehead as she whispered.
“There’s no need to go today.” Qin Mubai stepped forward and placed both of his hands on her shoulders to let her sit down. He said, “It’s so resting …”
The implication was that she had not slept last night and had just been torn apart, so she must not be feeling well.
“I’m fine” Mingzhu blushed and did not dare to look Qin Mubai in the eye.
Qin Mubai couldn’t persuade him much, so he could only say, “Then I’ll leave the palace first.”
He walked to the window and saw that there was only a trace of pale fish belly on the horizon. It was dawn.
“Wait, don’t leave yet.” Mingzhu seemed to remember something and said, “I want to take you to see someone.”
“Who is it?”
“Someone who has a lot to do with you, Wu Meiniang, and me.” “If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t be standing in front of me today, and it’s unlikely that Wu Meiniang would have become the first assistant minister of the Kang Kingdom,” Mingzhu said.
“Then who is it?” Qin Mubai was curious.
“His name is … Yuan Tiangang!”
“!!” Qin Mubai was immediately shocked, “Him? Why is he here? How did you know him?”
“It’s a long story.” Mingzhu stood up, but her eyebrows twisted in pain. Qin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
“I’m fine” Mingzhu politely rejected Qin Mubai’s support and said, “Would you like to go and see him?”
“We must meet!”
“It’s really not dawn yet. I’ll ask Su Lianqing to arrange for us to leave the palace!”
After a while, a group of carriages and horses passed through the stone scenery area of the harem and arrived outside the palace. After walking through the streets for about half an hour, he finally stopped.
During this time, Qin Mubai and Mingzhu sat on the same carriage, but did not have any conversation. The two of them had their own thoughts as they finished this journey.
“We’re here.” Mingzhu said.
Qin Mubai nodded and got out of the car. He saw a simple but neat house with green brick wooden doors.
“I won’t go in with you. After noon, I will call General Su to pick you up.” Mingzhu did not get off the carriage. She said this and told Su Lianqing to turn the carriage around and walk back.
Qin Mubai stood at the door and muttered to himself for a while. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
A woman dressed as a Taoist nun appeared in front of her. She was dressed in a fine green gauze Daoist robe, and on top of her head was a Daoist hairpin hung two silk silk scarves that were as light as green smoke. She held a snow-white whisk in her hand, and her bright eyes made her skin snow-white. Her facial features were exceptionally exquisite and beautiful. Under the gentle breeze of the morning breeze, her daoist robe and silk scarf danced gently along with the whisk. Adding on her fairy-like appearance, she was like a fairy who didn’t eat the fireworks of the mortal world!
The two of them inadvertently met and were shocked at the same time!
“Snow Goose?!”
“Mu … Bai?!-Why you!”
This Taoist nun in front of him had actually run away from home and entered the Taoist sect, Princess Wencheng, Li Xueyan!
“Could it be a dream?” Qin Mubai suddenly understood.
“Master told me to clean the courtyard and open the door to welcome the guests at three minutes’ time today. I didn’t expect it to be you!” Li Xueyan was also stunned as she muttered to herself, forgetting to call Qin Mubai into the room.
“Hahaha!” At this moment, a hearty and clear laughter came from the courtyard. An old Daoist walked out and said from afar, “Young Marshal Qin has arrived. The poor path is too far away to welcome him. Sins, sins!”
“Heavenly Master Yuan!”
“Master!”
Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment. “Master? … So you hid in the Dao Sect because you took Yuan Tiangang as your master?”
Li Xueyan bowed to Yuan Tiangang and turned to look at Qin Mubai. She hurriedly turned her face away. Her face was already flushed red and she nodded gently.
“Jing Wei, come in and serve tea.” Yuan Tiangang’s face was flushed red as he stroked his white beard and laughed.
“Yes, Master.” Li Xueyan respectfully smiled and left.
“Dao name Jing Wei” Qin Mubai watched Li Xueyan leave, still feeling as if she was dreaming.
“Major Marshal, we really meet again, hehe!” Yuan Tiangang looked at Qin Mubai meaningfully and smiled.
Qin Mubai’s heart lit up. When he and Yuan Tiangang parted ways in Dafeichuan, Yuan Tiangang once said that he had a deduction about someone’s life. If this deduction was fulfilled, he would meet Qin Mubai again and congratulate him face to face.
This person was one of Qin Mubai’s wives.
“Then can Heavenly Master Yuan give me some pointers today?” Qin Mubai asked.
“Haha! Major Marshal is one of the few people in this world who can defy the will of heaven and control fate. How can I guide you?” Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, “There’s no harm in reuniting in the old place. It’s fine to sit down and drink tea and chat!”
“Alright, then respect is better than obedience! Heavenly Master Yuan, please!” Qin Mubai became interested.
The two chatted happily as they entered the room. Li Xueyan had already prepared a few tea sets and was quietly making tea at the side.
Qin Mubai stared at her many times and knew that the remaining light in her eyes landed on her body, but she did not turn around nor speak.
“Haha!” Yuan Tiangang looked at the couple in front of him and only caressed his beard with a smile.
“Heavenly Master Yuan, what are you laughing at?” Qin Mubai asked with a smile.
“I laugh at all the people in this world who are obsessed with tribulation in the mortal world, but in the end, they can’t earn a single word of life, a single word of fate.” Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, “Although Jing Wei insisted on becoming a monk and not loving the mortal world, and she also became a poor Dao Master by chance, she was destined not to live this life in the Void Gate. Although she was in the Void Gate, her heart was in the mortal world.”
“Master” Li Xueyan was stunned and stared blankly at Yuan Tiangang.
“Jing Wei, everything that happened before has already passed by Cloud Eye. Why do you have to keep it in your heart and keep it in your heart?” Yuan Tiangang said, “You have followed me for so long to cultivate the Dao, so you should have comprehended everything you need to.” You should understand that cultivators are supposed to be harmonious and natural. They can do whatever they want. They can enter the world as soon as they come out of the world. They can enter the world as soon as they come out of the world. They can go in and out of the world as they please. They are at ease. They can do nothing but do everything. Why do you insist on becoming a monk or not? Heart if peace, then the world everywhere is home; “If you feel uneasy, even if you are in a famous ancient temple or river, you will still feel that you have no place to stand.”
“Disciple understands” Li Xueyan replied softly. She turned around and still did not look at Qin Mubai.
“Once the tea is ready, you can go settle down for a meal and entertain Young Marshal Qin.”
“Yes … Master.”
Qin Mubai looked at the current Li Xueyan. Although she was as gentle, refined, and beautiful as before, her body was indeed a lot less green and ignorant as before when she was a princess, and she was not as noble and dignified as before. Instead, there was a bit of elegant spiritual energy that didn’t eat the fireworks in the mortal world. It was elegant and elegant, and it was as if a fairy from the Moon Palace had descended to the mortal world.
After Li Xueyan finished making the tea, she closed the door and left. Two other children under the age of ten were summoned from the nearby ear room and left the house together.
“Major Marshal is someone who has seen great storms before. Why are you so upset today?” Yuan Tiangang smiled.
Qin Mubai smiled awkwardly. “To tell you the truth, what happened these past two days really surprised me.”
“Are you referring to the Queen of Kang and Wei Jing?” Yuan Tiangang said.
Qin Mubai nodded.
“As the saying goes, people live in groups, and they have friends and partners around them.” Yuan Tiangang said, “An extraordinary person like you, Young Marshal Qin, is not an ordinary person. In fact, compared to the other madam of Major Marshal, the Queen of Kang and Jing Wei are nothing.”
Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and said, “You mean Wu Meiniang?”
Yuan Tiangang chuckled and nodded.
“The words left behind by the Heavenly Master back then are those of Wu Meiniang?”
“That’s right.” Yuan Tiangang admitted it straightforwardly. He smiled and said, “Actually, you should know about that matter. Even when Wu Meiniang was still very young, I once showed her my life. I am very sure that although Wu Meiniang is a girl, she must be an emperor. One day, she will take Li Tang’s place and ascend to the throne as emperor.”
“I know. Mother Mei told me about it.”
“But then, you appeared and changed her fate.” Yuan Tiangang shook his head. “There are countless faces in my life and I have never made any mistakes. But from the moment you appeared, I made a series of mistakes. Including the life expectancy of your father that I calculated, and the” Pushing Back Diagram “that I deduced together with Junior Brother Li Chunfeng. All of them were wrong!”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Is all of this … really related to me?”
“Young Marshal Qin can deny it, but you must know.” Yuan Tiangang chuckled and said, “Right after Wu Meiniang failed to marry into the Imperial Palace and discovered the fallacy in the Pushing Back Diagram, I personally met with your father, Lord Qin Shubao, and gave him my life.” I discovered that your father’s lifespan has increased by more than five years in vain. Furthermore, he will no longer stay in bed and die of depression. Instead, he will become famous throughout his entire life and become a major inducement for the Great Tang to start a new history. “As for Wu Meiniang, although it is impossible for her to take Li Tang’s place, her life is really hard!”
“What do you mean?” Qin Mubai said in surprise.
Yuan Tiangang’s eyebrows sank as he said seriously, “Either she wants to kill all of her relatives, including you, or … her imperial fate can’t be changed!-It should be hers, it’s hers! True Dragon, it’s True Dragon! She will call the Emperor King in the end!”
Qin Mubai couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. “You mean … she can’t be the emperor of the Great Tang in the Central Plains, but she will still be king in another place?”
“That’s right!” Yuan Tiangang laughed heartily, “So I say, not everyone can completely go against the will of the heavens like you. Although you indirectly changed Wu Meiniang’s fate, you still can’t suppress her imperial fate!”-I think, this is better than letting her kill all her relatives! ”
‘”I understand” Qin Mubai nodded his head in realization. “What Heavenly Master Yuan meant was that he wanted me to help Wu Meiniang ascend the throne of Kang Country?”
“It’s not just the Kang Kingdom, it’s a large, unified Great Moon Country composed of the nine surnames of Zhaowu and Hu.” Yuan Tiangang said, “The world’s power must be separated over time. Major Marshal must understand. After experiencing the turmoil in the Western Regions and the Arabian invasion, it is the general trend for the nine surnames of Zhaowu to reunite as one. Even though the poor dao lives in the countryside, they have long smelled such a wedge. Could it be that Major Marshal did not notice it?”
Qin Mubai nodded and said, “I’ve heard of it. But if I really do, it will be difficult. Not to mention, it won’t be so easy to recommend an emperor who can subdue the crowd to unify the nine surnames of Zhaowu.”
“Haha!” Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, “These things are difficult for the nine surnames of Zhaowu and Hu, but easy for you, Young Marshal Qin!”
Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Heavenly Master Yuan, you think too highly of me. Although the Great Tang is powerful, it’s not good to forcefully interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.”
“Then what if it is a subordinate country of the Great Tang and asks the Great Tang to grant them a king?” Yuan Tiangang chuckled.
Qin Mubai also smiled. “It seems that Heavenly Master Yuan is not an outsider. He even has such a thorough understanding of court politics and neighboring diplomacy.”
“Cultivators are born with only one thought. There is no difference between them.” Yuan Tiangang said, “What I know is only a little bit. A high-ranking person like Major Marshal who conspires for the country and the army must have thought about it a long time ago, but I’m just playing tricks on him.”
Qin Mubai chuckled and said, “Since Heavenly Master Yuan is a smart person, then I won’t hide anything from you.” Actually, my purpose in coming to Kang Country is to establish a unified power in this area that is close to Great Tang and help Great Tang defend the border of the Western Regions and become a friendly neighbor of Great Tang. In front of him, it seemed feasible for the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Hu Yousan, to gather and rebuild into the Great Moon People’s Kingdom. But I’m very curious … ”
Qin Mubai suddenly stopped talking and looked at Yuan Tiangang with bright eyes.
Yuan Tiangang said, “What’s Major Marshal curious about?”
“Why do you insist on letting Wu Meiniang be the king instead of letting me support the current king of the Zhaowu Nine Surnames Sovereign Kingdom, Murong Mingzhu, to be the king?” Qin Mubai said.
“Haha!” Yuan Tiangang smiled and remained silent.
“This is also a heavenly secret, can’t it be leaked?” Qin Mubai looked at Yuan Tiangang.
“Don’t tell anyone else.” Yuan Tiangang suddenly changed the topic, “Only to Young Marshal Qin.”
“Please give me some advice.”
Yuan Tiangang frowned slightly and said, “Because I want Young Marshal Qin to change a person’s fate again! And you can definitely do it! Besides, if you ascend the cauldron and become the king, the Qin Family and the Great Tang will benefit from it. For public and private reasons, why aren’t you happy, Young Marshal Qin?”
“The person you are referring to is the Queen of the Kingdom of Kang, Murong Mingzhu?”
“That’s right.” Yuan Tiangang said, “I think Young Marshal Qin definitely doesn’t want to see a second Yao’er!”
Qin Mubai suddenly felt a pain in his heart. “What do you mean by that?”
“Murong family once received great kindness from the Qin family, as a return. The two sisters were destined to die for the descendants of the Qin Clan, and the Murong Clan was destined to die. This was their fate! Murong Mingzhu, her life is actually more bitter than Yao’er’s! Yuan Tiangang solemnly said, “She is destined to never see her relatives for the rest of her life. She doesn’t know her background, and she will live for half her life. After that, she will not return her corpse to the village because of the struggle for power. Unless there is only one possibility-the Murong family’s woman will directly marry you and borrow your Demon Star’s Light to change her fate!”
“So it was you who asked Su Lianqing to give me the medicine and secretly instigated Mingzhu!” Qin Mubai slapped the table and said, “What exactly are you doing?!”
‘”That’s right, it’s me” Yuan Tiangang narrowed his eyes and revealed a trace of shame, but he wasn’t afraid of it. He leisurely said, “People don’t do things for themselves, heaven and earth destroy them. Even though Poverty Taoism is a monk, it can’t be spared. In fact, Poverty Taoism has been paying attention to Young Marshal Qin for a long time. If it weren’t for no reason, how could this be?”
“What exactly is the reason?” Qin Mubai’s expression became gloomy.
“It started when you entered the number one wine restaurant in the world and accepted Yao’er as your disciple.” Yuan Tiangang suddenly turned his head and looked at Qin Mubai with his eyes shining brightly. “Poverty Dao thought that you had completely changed Yao’er’s fate since then! But I didn’t expect that she would die for you!”-Poverty Dao didn’t want her biological sister to repeat her fate, so … ”
“You are not related to them, why do you do this?” Qin Mubai asked.
“Ai! … How could it be that they are not related?” Yuan Tiangang sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile. “Before I became a monk, I was young and frivolous. I left behind a little-known daughter among the people … She is the mother of Yao’er and Mingzhu!”
