Chapter 164: Desperate Lobbying
"Ten years ago?"
"Well, I'll tell you when you get out."
"Big sister, has Cheng Rui come to see you?"
"No……"
"Where are Yu'er and Heng'er?"
Shangguan Yue continued to ask.
Zeng Qianer lowered her eyes and shook her head gently.
Zhou Huaizhi punched the wall, and Shangguan Yue stopped his hand in time. Zhou Huaizhi looked at Shangguan Yue in surprise. Didn't he use any strength just now?
Yes, it should be because Cheng Rui, that bastard, was so angry that he fainted. No, shouldn't he be more powerful when he is angry? What is he thinking about? Is he thinking about these trivial things now? Xiaoyue is just a child!
"Big sister, it's possible that they can't come because of the tight security."
"Xiao Yue, don't comfort me. You all can come in, but he can't? Even if he can't come in, where can he eat and drink? He didn't even send me a single word. If I existed, I would probably hinder his path to promotion."
"...Can Nanyue get a promotion if he marries a princess?"
Shangguan Yue said in surprise.
"Well, Princess Shang has nothing to do with promotion. It depends on your ability."
"I see."
"The time is up, hurry up, go, go!"
Several jailers came in and chased them away.
"Well, big sister, take care of yourself."
Shangguan Yue should not say anything else in front of the jailer.
"Qian'er, don't think too much. You must take care of yourself. I will find a way. Qian'er, Qian'er..."
Zhou Huaizhi held Zeng Qianer's hand tightly, and the jailer pulled him away with force.
"Why don't you leave? Are you looking for death?"
The jailer pushed Shangguan Yue and the other person out.
Shangguan Yue had no choice but to drag Zhou Huaizhi out, who refused to leave.
Looking at Zeng Qianer with tears in her eyes in the cell, Zhou Huaizhi's eyes became wet.
.........
Everyone goes back to their homes
Shangguan Yue returned to the general's mansion dejected. The feeling of powerlessness made her very depressed. This evil ancient imperial power could kill a person like an ant.
Bai Zhi carefully brought up tea and snacks, fearing to disturb the eldest lady. The general's mansion had been filled with gloom these past few days, the lady was also in a bad mood, and the general had not returned recently, so no one dared to talk much.
Shangguan Yue picked up the tea and wanted to drink it, but she found it was too hot. Her hands shook and the tea spilled on the table, wetting a small cloth bag.
Small cloth bag? Shangguan Yue remembered that this was brought by the little fat boy in the morning.
Purple Flame Feather, yes! Purple Flame Feather!
Shangguan Yue hurriedly untied the small cloth bag. A feather emitting a purple-red halo was lying there quietly. A beautiful and graceful woman was staring at her with a sad face.
Ning Zhenzhen was sad and sulky. The Ninth Prince had given the Purple Flame Feather to Shangguan Yue, but she refused it. If she didn't want it, how would Xiaobai and the other four return to the Purple Flame Kingdom in the future?
She will never be able to turn back into a human being, so how can she be a bird for the rest of her life? As long as there is no successor to the throne of Zi Yan Kingdom, Ning Zhenzhen will not be able to reincarnate, so how can she go to find Brother Feng Xi?
"Xiao Yue, I have a way to save Zeng Qian'er, as long as you promise me to become the Holy Lord of the Purple Flame Nation."
"Do you have a solution? What solution do you have? You are now trapped in this small space and cannot get out. You can't even protect yourself. What else can you do?"
"The method is very simple. If you become a Saint King, the Purple Flame Kingdom will be yours. Nanyue has to rely on and ask for help from the Purple Flame Kingdom for many things. Our Purple Flame Kingdom's weapons, horses, etc. are what Nanyue lacks. So if you become a Saint King, you can control Nanyue Kingdom and easily rescue Miss Zeng Qianer."
"Is there such a good thing? If it's so good, why do you want to run away at such a young age instead of continuing to do it? You must have bad intentions. If you don't explain clearly, I won't agree to it."
"I, that's because I didn't obey the arrangement."
"I still have to obey the orders? You are the emperor, who do you still have to listen to? I think you are trying to escape. This pit must be very big. I won't do it if you trick me into jumping into it!"
"Actually, actually, oops! To be honest, I am incompetent and boasted that I would make the Purple Flame Nation more advanced. If I had not made certain contributions to the Purple Flame Nation, I would not have been able to marry the son of the previous Saint Sovereign."
"The son of the previous Saint? Isn't that the prince? Why not just let the prince be the emperor? Why look for him somewhere else?"
"No, for the sake of the country's progress, we must find someone from the most advanced country to be the Saint King. The original Saint King must be selected and summoned before he dies.
If the former Saint has a son, then summon a female Saint back. If it is a daughter, then summon a male. The children of the former Saint are all the guardians of the dynasty. They live for the Saint. If they fail to protect the master, they will die. "
"Oh! So Feng Xi is your husband and your protector. You are incompetent and you deceived the Supreme Lord by pretending to be someone you are not. You wanted to run away, but Feng Xi, as your husband, not only did not stop you, but he also wanted to help you escape. So he had to die, right?"
"That's true, but what you said was a bit harsh."
"Honest advice is hard to hear. It's really a trap. I don't have much ability. It seems that this road is not feasible."
"It's possible, it's possible. I'm optimistic about you! You're much more capable than me. I used to be the daughter of a wealthy family, living off my parents all day and waiting to be married off as a pawn. In the final analysis, the last Saint King chose the wrong person.
I don't know anything, and what I know is of little help to the country today, but you are different, you know a lot more."
"No, you summoned me here because you gave birth to five sons? If I become a holy king, I have to choose one of the five of them, Xiaobai, to be my imperial husband? That won't work! They are my brothers."
"Brother, they are all older than you. They don't know the details. After the Purple Flame Nation lost its Saint King, time slowed down and stopped by half. Time will not start again until the new Saint King returns. So after they regain their human bodies, they will be around thirteen years old."
"No, no, no, even if they are older than me, I don't want to get married. If I have to marry, I will marry someone else, not my brothers."
"I don't know if it's okay not to marry, but it seems that marrying someone else is not okay either, because I'm afraid that the children of the original Saint Lord will rebel. Oh! Why are you thinking about these things now? The most urgent thing is to save Miss Zeng first!"
"You really are going to great lengths, afraid that I won't fall into your trap. If it can save my elder sister, I will jump into your trap, don't worry. Tell me what I'm going to do!"
"If that dog emperor hadn't hurt me back then, causing my soul to be trapped before I could escape from the Purple Flame Feather, you and Xiaobai would have gone directly to the Purple Flame Country instead of becoming Shangguan Yue in Nanyue."
"You mean if Bian Bian and I went directly to Ziyan Country, then we would have disappeared in modern times? And coming to Nanyue would just be a soul traveling across time and space?"
"Yes, I was injured at that time and lacked spiritual power, so I could only summon your souls here, and your bodies remained in the modern era."
"So are Bianbian and I dead in modern times?"
"This is a secret. You will know it when the time comes. I can't tell you. If I tell you, I will be reduced to ashes."
