The Shang Qing Monastery was west of Great Peace City and was not too far from the inner city.
Oh, right, the Shangqing Temple had already been demolished, and on its original site, a Lingbao Temple would soon rise up.
When Xu Hao first invited Yi Qingwu, it was because he was the new Imperial Advisor.
Of course, this alone was not enough!
Therefore, Xu Hao added another condition, which was to allow Yi Qingwu to cultivate with the luck of the dynasty.
With these two conditions added together, Yi Qingwu hesitated for a long time before agreeing to help.
These days, Yi Qingwu was temporarily staying outside the Spirit Treasure Temple, which had yet to be built. Xu Hao found a five-entry house for her.
At this moment, Yi Qingwu was leaning against a railing in a pavilion in the back garden. Her clear and deep eyes seemed to be lost in thought as she looked down at the small pond that was only a few feet in circumference.
Although the pond was small, it was filled with lotus flowers, although they had all withered.
A few strands of black hair fluttered in the wind, and her skin was as white as snow. Her pure and mature peerless face now had a hint of melancholy.
Bang!
A figure descended from the sky and smashed into the side of the pond. The ground cracked open and dust rose.
Yi Qingwu frowned. The red cinnabar on her forehead became brighter.
The only thing he liked in this house was destroyed just like that.
"You destroyed my lotus pond!”
Her clear voice sounded, as if she was very unhappy.
Xu Hao, who had just rushed over from the Imperial Palace, could not help but be stunned when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at the messy lotus pond. He said indifferently,
"I'll compensate you later!"
He had blurted out these words, but he did not expect that the meaning of these words was somewhat ambiguous.
Yi Qingwu's expression turned cold,""What's the matter? If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't disturb me.”
Xu Hao took a few steps into the air and landed beside Yi Qingwu."
"Must the name written on the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book disappear after 49 days?”
"Or is it possible that the cursed person died before the forty-ninth day?”
Yi Qingwu raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Hao in surprise."Why are you asking this?"
Xu Hao didn't waste any time and told Yi Qingwu the secret he had obtained from the Empress.
After hearing this, her indifferent face revealed a puzzled expression.
"As far as I know, the person who was hit by the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book will only die after 49 days! Even if it was a minute less, the name on the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book would not disappear, and the person would not die.”
"Could it be that your father was seriously ill?”
"No! My father is a Second Stage cultivator, how could he be infected? Also, during that period of time, I never saw anything strange about him!”
Upon hearing this, Yi Qingwu extended her arm from her sleeve, revealing a small section of her fair arm.
Her slender fingers moved gently. After a moment, she shook her head, her brows filled with doubt.
"Strange. Three years ago, I tried to predict your father's fate, but now, for some reason, I can't predict anything.”
"It's as if your father never appeared in this world!”
Even if Xu Hao's father was dead, with her methods, she should be able to deduce some information.
But now, it was as if an unknown force was slowly erasing the traces of Xu Hao's father's existence.
The direct consequence of this was that no one could predict that there was once a person like Xu Yingtian in this world.
In fact, in the memories of many ordinary people, the impression of Xu Yingtian would slowly be hidden until it disappeared.
In the end, other than those who had a deep impression of him, no one could remember who Xu Yingtian was!
"Do you mean that I will forget my father in the future?”
Xu Hao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Not necessarily. This Penniless Priest has never seen such a thing!”
"I only heard rumors that there are powerful people who can erase all traces of a person's existence!”
Hearing this, Xu Hao suddenly felt a headache. What was this?!
All the bullsh * t great divine arts practitioners had jumped out and got involved with his father, a martial artist who was only of the second rank.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his deadbeat father had suddenly become mysterious.
"No, I have to go to the Northern Territory!”
He wanted to go to the Northern Territory and dig up Xu Yingtian's grave.
Xu Hao suspected that either Xu Yingtian faked his death or he offended someone.
However, no matter what, it couldn't be explained!
He faked his death just to trick his son? Offend people? He, a second-grade martial artist, had offended a great divine arts practitioner who could erase the traces of others?
They were completely unrelated!
All of this was a little confusing.
Xu Hao felt a headache coming on. It was too complicated!
Yi Qingwu hesitated for a moment as she looked at the frowning man before her and said softly,
"There's no need to be anxious about some things. You'll know when you need to!”
This cold Daoist nun actually cared about people?
Xu Hao relaxed his brows in surprise and stared at Yi Qingwu."Are you concerned about me?"
"Get lost!"
Xu Hao was speechless.
As expected, she was cold and arrogant. What was there to be embarrassed about?
Smiling, Xu Hao stretched his back and decided not to think about Xu Yingtian for the time being.
"Farewell!"
Xu Hao cupped his hands, turned around, and slowly walked down the pavilion.
They had flown here in a hurry, but now that they were not busy, they naturally had to walk out openly.
It was a little improper to always fly around. After all, his identity was there!
"Remember to compensate me with the lotus pond!" Yi Qingwu said as she looked at Xu Hao, who had already walked to the Moon Gate.
He really couldn't forget the lotus pond!
Previously, Xu Hao had found several courtyards, but this girl just didn't like them. It was only when he came to this courtyard house that he saw this lotus pond!
Xu Hao cursed in his heart and said without turning his head,"Don't worry, I'll compensate you!"
Xu Hao sped up without saying anything and disappeared under the moon gate in the blink of an eye.
Just as he left, an ancient sword suddenly landed on the Moon Gate.
"Bang!"
The entire Moon Gate was directly slashed into pieces.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Xu Hao suddenly felt a little smug. This life seemed to be gradually becoming more interesting.
……
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
In a certain room in the harem, Xu Hao looked at the beautiful empress in front of him and said.
Even though his doubts were not resolved, he could not deny that if it were not for the Empress and Concubine Chen, he would not have known when he would have discovered such a secret.
In other words, without them, this secret would have been buried along with Emperor Huaiyang and the Imperial Preceptor's deaths.
Therefore, as long as they didn't go overboard, he would try his best to satisfy them.
"Your Highness, I want Yun Yao and Yun Qing to marry you! I hope you can agree to this!"
The Empress was delighted, but at the same time, she said nervously.
Her temperament was considered good. At least on the surface, she did not seem to have much emotional fluctuations.
Concubine Chen, who was behind her, had her hands tightly clenched. Various emotions surfaced on her face, which was somewhat similar to Yunyao's.
Fear, anticipation, anxiety, worry, and so on.
"What did you say?" Xu Hao looked at the Empress in shock.
There was such a good thing…there was such a thing?
Xu Hao originally thought that the Empress wanted him to promise her to ensure their safety for the rest of their lives.
However, marrying off his daughter was something he had never expected.
However, thinking about it now, it seemed very reasonable.
Looking deeply at the Empress, Xu Hao could not help but sigh in his heart. No wonder she could become the Empress.
He was indeed capable!
As the saying went, it was better to teach someone to fish than to give them a fish. To make Xu Hao promise to protect them, such a promise was ultimately not safe enough.
After all, Xu Hao couldn't possibly watch them protect him every day, right?
If they were not family, who would be willing to spend time and energy to arrange for people to protect them? At most, they would tell their subordinates not to act rashly.
This way, he could be safe for a short period of time! However, as time passed, it was inevitable that there would be people who would throw Xu Hao's words out of the Nine Heavens Cloud.
After all, Yun Qing and Yun Yao were truly stunning.
But once she married Xu Hao, it would be different!
Who in the world would dare to touch the Crown Prince's woman?
As long as Xu Hao was still around, they were absolutely safe.
"Your Highness, I want Yun Yao and Yun Qing to marry you. I hope you can agree!”
the Empress repeated patiently.
Xu Hao nodded but did not say anything.
Seeing this, Concubine Chen was a little anxious. She immediately wanted to ask Xu Hao if he was going to disagree.
But before she could say anything, the Empress glared at her and said with a smile,"
"Your Highness, please take your time to consider it. We are not in a hurry!”
Look, this is the style of a big family!
Once Concubine Chen said that, needless to say, the prince would definitely be furious.
Weaklings should know their limits.
Hearing this, Xu Hao immediately looked at the Empress in surprise. Then, he smiled.
"This isn't a small matter, let me consider it for a while! How is it?"
"Everything is up to Your Highness!"
Nodding his head, Xu Hao was about to turn around and leave. However, he caught a glimpse of a few bags in the room and immediately stopped in his tracks.
"What are you guys doing?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the bags.
The empress smiled and gently tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. Her movements were elegant and beautiful.
"Your Highness, it is inappropriate for us to stay here, so we are prepared to leave the palace after meeting you!”
Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment before saying,"Let's stay in the palace for the time being! It wouldn't be too late to leave after this matter was over!”
To them, the palace was actually the safest place.
After all, their identities were there. If they went out, they might not encounter anything bad.
"This…this isn't good, right?"
The Empress hesitated.
Seeing his appearance, Xu Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes."
"Alright, there's no need to act in front of this prince!”
Hearing this, the Empress immediately felt a little awkward, but she still smiled.
She knew that His Highness had seen through her tricks.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Thinking of this, the Empress bowed to Xu Hao!
The alluring curves made Xu Hao quickly look away, then he nodded and left.
This woman was quite smart, but she was not annoying. This was Xu Hao's evaluation of her.
It was only after Xu Hao's figure had completely disappeared for a while that the Empress retracted her gaze. She slowly turned around and walked to the table at the top of the hall, picking up a few bags.
"Sister Wanjun, didn't he ask us to stay? Why are you still leaving?"
Concubine Chen looked at the Empress in confusion.
The Empress rolled her eyes at this stupid woman and then threw a few bundles on the table.
"Are you stupid? There are only a few clothes inside. Where am I going to take them?”
"I see. I thought you were leaving!”Concubine Chen heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the stool with the table.
The Empress suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did she end up with such a silly woman!
Sighing lightly, she opened the few bundles one by one. There were a total of four to five simple clothes.
Actually, she wasn't ready to leave yet! At the very least, she had to wait until Yunyao, Yun Qing, and Xu Hao's matter was settled before she could rest assured.
In addition, the two of them were just weak women who did not have the strength to even tie a chicken. If anything happened to them when they went out, they would probably not be able to respond to anything.
When the news of Xu Hao and their daughter's wedding spread, they would be safe when they left the Imperial Palace.
After all, they were the mothers-in-law of His Royal Highness! Who would dare to covet it? Who dared to mess around?
"I wonder if he will hate Yun Qing because of me!”The Empress sat on the stool, lost in thought.
She had deliberately placed the bags in a conspicuous place so that Xu Hao would know that they were leaving.
As for whether or not he would ask her to stay, she did not know.
His Royal Highness had indeed seen the bundle, but he had guessed what she was thinking.
"Sister Wanjun, now that he asked us to stay, those despicable girls won't come here again and chase us away, right?”
"Yes, they won't. Even if they come, we don't have to be afraid of them!”
The palace was basically filled with palace maids from the previous dynasty. They were allowed to stay because the prince hadn't had the time to find someone to replace them.
After all, the palace was so big, it couldn't be empty, right?
"Humph! To think that I treated them so well in the past!”Concubine Chen said unhappily.
The Empress smiled. The human heart was unpredictable. In the past, one of them was Concubine Chen, and the other was the Empress. How could others not respect them?
But now, they had nothing. In fact, their status was even lower than these palace maids.
At the very least, these palace maids were working for the new dynasty that was about to be established, while they were nothing.
When the palace maids of the previous dynasty saw the master they served in the past in dire straits, they naturally wanted to step on him.
"Sister Wanjun, why didn't you let me tell Yunyao and even Xu Hao about this?”
The Empress shook her head and didn't say anything. There were some things that this silly woman wouldn't understand even if she told her.
Tell Yun Yao and Yun Qing? They didn't have any status now, so there was no need for them to worry about this matter or even ask Xu Hao for help.
She knew that Yun Qing and Dean Qin had a master-disciple relationship, but outsiders could not interfere in the matters of the palace.
As for telling Xu Hao? Why did such a small matter bother him?
"Don't worry, everything will get better! It'll get better!"
