Chapter 423 - With your blood you can see your mother\\\'s past
The convoy that picked up Wen Li did not shy away from it, but it was very smart and successfully detoured to the side gate of the palace along the road without any monitoring equipment.
After the people were put down, all the cars disappeared at the end of the road.
Rows of cars have no license plate, low-key and steady black, even if they want to track down, they will not be so easily tracked down.
The most straightforward thing is that the car drove directly to the palace, but it is conceivable that he is not afraid of being held accountable.
“I originally wanted to talk to Miss Wen Li in a few days, but the change has changed, so I can only move forward. I hope I will send someone over to invite you without disturbing your cleanliness.” He said and handed the broom in his hand. attendant.
“You and I are only two sides, what can I say?” Wen Li looked at the person in front of him with a calm expression.
From the day Le Jia’s grave was opened, Wen Li had the answer in his heart.
If it weren’t for the fact that they cared too much about Le Jia’s life and death, no one would have thought of opening the tomb to find out who was buried in it.
And this person obviously made the decision after seeing Wen Li, who was free in the royal family.
Now that it is clear that the corpse in the tomb is not Le Jia, then this person who cares about the life and death of Le Jia very much.
If you want to find out the truth, the next thing you can do is to choose to face Wen Li directly.
Looking at the man standing opposite, she didn’t expect it to be this man.
Lu Zhizhou’s father.
It is said that he has always been a person who has no desire or desire.
“Is your father’s surname Wen?” Prince Pei stood up straight and looked at the little girl opposite.
Wen Li nodded irrefutably. With this name, her father’s surname was of course Wen.
“Let’s have a cup of tea together. Here is a top-quality Maojian that was just delivered recently. I heard that you also like tea. Help me to see if it is a false name.”
The two stepped up the steps together, and the best white porcelain tea set was placed on the tea table that had been prepared for a long time.
Prince Pei raised his hand to signal her to sit down, and the two sat face to face with the tea table in between.
Wen Li raised her head and glanced at it. This should be the most remote palace in the palace. After spending these days in the palace, she generally understood the layout of the entire palace.
The layout of the south, east and northwest is different. In the east, the descendants of the royal family live, such as Hatas Yinsa and Jiatong, and the other is divided into guest halls or collection buildings or places where servants live.
This should be the most fringe place in the entire palace.
This Prince Pei is not the same among many princes, and his ancestor is also one of the royal blood.
Different from other princes, the previous princes in Prince Pei’s lineage have never participated in the military and political affairs, but they can inherit the position of the prince.
And he is also the only prince who has been separated from the palace to have a long residence in the palace, which even Prince Harry, the most beloved younger brother of Hattas, can’t do.
Harry can only live in the guest hall when he enters the palace.
It is indeed rare for a prince who is not involved in the military to participate in politics to have such an important weight in front of the king.
The location near the guest hall is also the residence of Prince Pei in the palace.
“I was amazed for a long time when I first saw you. How can there be such a similar person in this world, and they even have the same curvature of the corners of their mouths when they smile.” Prince Pei said to himself.
Wen Li knew who he was talking about, so he didn’t speak, and continued to wait for him to speak.
“You and West Asia have a lot of fate. If you were born in the palace, you are the eldest grandson of His Majesty. According to the rules set back then, the two of you may have become husband and wife now.”
He could hear his son’s love for Wen Li that he never shied away from.
He really likes this girl, but unfortunately, even if some people are destined to entangle and entangle, they may not have a marriage.
It’s like West Asia and Wen Li are destined to have no results.
“Drink, I won’t do anything to you. I’m looking for you today. Maybe he will be a good thing for you.” Prince Pei looked at her untouched teacup.
The person on the opposite side took a sip without hesitation, sniffing the rich tea fragrance.
Seeing her poised appearance, Prince Pei was even more sure of what she was thinking, this girl must know her background.
Otherwise, the words would not be so calm, and I was not surprised to hear him say such words.
“Talking to a smart person can save you a lot of trouble. Today, I will ask you something more directly. Since your mother was able to escape back then, who killed your mother in the end?”
Wen Li put down the cup and stared straight at him, “Isn’t that what you wanted to tell me?”
Hearing this, Prince Pei did not shy away, “This is also what I want to understand most.”
Prince Pei raised his head and looked at the sky above his head, which was about to darken at some point.
“The moon near the fifteenth is the brightest. Here, the moon can tell us a lot, it depends on whether you want it or not.”
“What do you mean?” Wen Li followed his line of sight to the moon that was already looming above his head.
“Son, how old are you this year?” Prince Pei asked.
Wen Li thought for a while and told him, “It’s just passed my twenty-first birthday.”
Year after year, people’s age will continue to grow.
“It turns out that so long has passed.” Prince Pei muttered.
After so many years, he had the opportunity to discover the truth that Le Jia was not dead, but he was defeated by his own incompetence.
“Come with me, and I’ll let you know the truth of your mother’s death.”
The two entered the palace one after the other. This palace was not as magnificent as Hatas’ Teng Palace or Yin Sa’s Ming’an Palace, and it was even a little shabby.
The furnishings in the entire hall are very simple, but all of them are elegant and even have a faint bookish atmosphere.
The two walked past the end of the long corridor on the left side of the main hall. There was an open door. The steps inside the door went down, hidden in the darkness, and they did not know where to go.
Prince Pei looked back at Xia Chen and Lu Min who were following Wen Li. These two teenagers had some skills.
At the beginning, they were able to beat Ni Chang in front of Hattas in the main hall. Both of them were Wen Li’s personal bodyguards.
It doesn’t seem to work if it’s not set up well.
“You guys wait for me outside.” Wen Li looked at the two of them.
Xia Chen and Lu Min looked at each other, then looked at Prince Pei.
“Yes ma’am.” The two took a step back.
However, Lu Min glanced at Prince Pei with a warning face, and then followed the attendant to the side hall to rest.
“If the boss doesn’t come back for more than half an hour, we’ll rush in.” Xia Chen said coldly.
Lu Min nodded and sat down with the placement of the attendants.
“Did you smell a faint scent in the air?”
And he was a little familiar with this scent, as if he had smelled it somewhere.
“This seems to be the incense that the temple will light. I smelled it when I followed the boss to the temple on the mountain when I was in the imperial capital.”
Yes, it should be the smell of sandalwood.
“Is this Prince Pei paying homage to Buddha? Isn’t their country not a believer in Buddhism? It seems that there is no temple dedicated to Buddha in such a large country.”
Prince Pei must be a Buddhist to order this sandalwood.
The attendant brewed strong coffee for the two of them as instructed and withdrew.
Only the two of them were left sitting face to face in the side hall.
As soon as they got in the car, they found out that these people were not from Yin Sa, but they didn’t expect to be sent by Prince Pei.
For the time being, it is not clear what this person is doing to find the boss, so there is no slack.
You must get in touch with Sister Su in advance.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen took out the phone, and sure enough, the signal at the top of the phone showed zero.
The other party still made the corresponding settings.
Xia Chen sneered and took back the phone, thinking that they would have no choice, it was really ridiculous.
If they were deceived so easily, their boss would not be able to live to this day.
What the **** did these people think they were the Supreme Commander of Evans.
The moment Prince Pei stepped into the steps, the lights hanging on both sides of the corridor turned on instantly, illuminating the scene inside the steps.
The steps are veneered with black marble, and the sides and the top of the head are also black marble. The walls on both sides are dug squares in the middle, and there are lit oil lamps inside.
Looking closely, these oil lamps are real lamps that burn sesame oil, unlike the modern technical means.
The most traditional method of burning lamps is used.
The further down you go, the more depressing the atmosphere seems.
Wen Li followed behind Prince Pei, and could vaguely feel the direction from here, which seemed to be connected to the direction of the sacrificial altar.
The atmosphere in the corridor was depressing, candles danced on the walls, and the shadows of the two floated on the walls one after the other.
After walking for about five minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.
It is connected to the narrow corridor, and people who come out of the corridor will have a feeling of being suddenly enlightened.
What you can see is a huge round table top, the same black marble floor, and a small mountain-shaped crystal clear white crystal standing in the middle of the round table.
The walls on all four sides of the room are covered with blue colored glass, and the light reflected by the crystals illuminates the entire hall without lighting.
The person standing in front of the white crystal in the middle was wearing a black robe, full of wrinkles and very old, with a tattooed traditional character on the forehead.
His hair was so long that it fell below the shoulders and was tied with a cloth belt, and the wide robe that fell on his body looked a little old.
Wen Li recognized at a glance that this person was the high priest that day.
The high priest dancing the priestly dance on the altar on Hattas’ birthday.
“Prince Pei.” The high priest nodded slightly.
Wen Li seemed to understand something in an instant. The sacrificial altar is an independent department in the palace, and it has been supported by the royal family for so many years.
They have the ability to fortune-telling and choose the king, so all members of the royal family are not allowed to touch the people on the sacrificial altar.
The position of the high priest also seems to be passed down from generation to generation, and after the death of the high priest, his apprentices will continue to serve.
And every generation of priests is a long-lived person, and the priest standing in front of her now is one hundred and one years old this year.
It is said that the oldest generation of priests to date lived to be one hundred and fifty years old.
If Prince Pei does not join the military and political affairs, but can have a place, it cannot be separated from this place.
“The people are here, you can prepare to start.” Prince Pei said to the priest.
The high priest turned around, looked at Wen Li who was standing in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice, “You were the one who broke into the sacrificial altar that night.”
Wen Li knew that he was talking about the day when Ni Chang rebelled, she and Gu Ningxi entered the sacrificial altar.
“If people with royal bloodline didn’t enter the temple, it wouldn’t change so frequently. The divination on His Majesty’s birthday, the words “Canghai Relics” fell on you.”
The high priest stared straight at the person in front of him, and the hexagrams were incomprehensible. In the sacrificial fortune-telling on Hatas’ birthday, all the things he captured were fierce.
I am afraid that the source of this fierce look is the girl in front of him.
Prince Pei handed a dagger inlaid with gems from his arms and pointed to the white crystal behind him.
“This stone is the treasure that my royal family has guarded from generation to generation. It can reflect the king of the royal family. It only needs a little blood to see that person’s life.”
Wen Li looked at the strange white crystal behind him. There are so many unsolved mysteries in this world, and the energy of the other world is jaw-dropping, not to mention such a crystal now.
“You have inherited your mother’s bloodline. If you want to know her past, you can use your blood. It’s just that the mapped past won’t be too detailed. You can only see a few moments that affected your mother’s life. a big deal.”
But this is enough. Everyone’s life is just a few things, from birth to death.
“Do you want to see it?” Prince Pei kept the knife handed over.
“You just want to know how my mother left the palace back then?” Wen Li glanced at the two in front of him.
The high priest’s brown eyes did not waver, he only maintained a standing posture and looked up at the blue crystal above his head.
Sure enough, it is the purest bloodline. Since stepping here, the crystal glass in the room seems to be different.
“I am in charge of managing the entire royal family tree, and of course I have the responsibility to find out how your mother died and what happened.”
Wen Li’s eyes fell on the crystal, even if she didn’t agree to Prince Pei today, this matter would haunt her for the rest of her life.
Since Hattas personally ended it, he would not tell the truth of the year anyway.
That being the case, now is the last chance.
“I won’t lie to you, it only takes a drop of blood to see your mother’s past and it won’t hurt you.”
Of course you can see how she died in the first place.
Wen Li stepped on the wooden steps up, the dagger lightly cut his fingertips, and red blood dripped on the white crystal.
In an instant, the original crystal clear white crystal suddenly filled with a touch of red, and at the same time a red light penetrated from it.
Wen Li looked down at the cut on his fingertips, it was really amazing, a drop of blood would do.
Prince Pei and the high priest raised their heads at the same time, and the breath gathered above the crystal formed a picture, the picture of a baby being born.
No doubt, this is when Princess Lejia was born.
Wen Li followed the gazes of the two and saw the young couple holding the child by the bed. The woman was pale but beautiful.
As for the man, although he was much younger, Wen Li was still able to recognize it.
That’s Hattas.
The two bowed their heads and looked at the swaddling baby tenderly, with the love and happiness of parents on their faces.
Every birth in this world seems to have expectations.
