Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 758 Shaobai 31

Xiao Ruojin was not the first son of Emperor Tai'an who died. After all, when Emperor Tai'an was young, he had many children who failed to be born, and many who died in infancy. Although Xiao Xie had been poisoned, he was only a little weak, so Xiao Ruojin became the first son of Emperor Tai'an who "died young" after he became an adult.

Such a person should have occupied a place in Emperor Tai'an's heart, but Xiao Ruojin's plot to rebellion against Xiao Ruofeng failed. Although Emperor Tai'an took the opportunity to clip the wings of many princes, it did not shake Xiao Ruofeng's foundation. As long as Xiao Ruofeng still has the title of a young master of the Jixia Academy, all the disciples who came out of the Jixia Academy will have a sense of incense for him.

Xiao Ruojin and Yi Wenjun, a couple whose marriage was unilaterally rejected by Yi Wenjun, died of poisoning each other. Emperor Tai'an thought it was ridiculous and wanted to whip Yi Wenjun's corpse immediately. However, Xiao Ruofeng persuaded him, "Father, it is not appropriate to add any more material to the current situation. Princess Jinyu has always been very resistant to her brother. Let her be buried with her brother now."

Emperor Tai'an was very dissatisfied with Xiao Ruofeng and Xiao Ruojin, but he also agreed with what Xiao Ruofeng said that the royal family should not continue to be laughed at by the outside world. However, he would never agree to bury Yi Wenjun and Xiao Ruojin together. "Although your brother committed a serious crime and was demoted to a commoner, he is still my blood after all. I will find a suitable place under the imperial mausoleum and bury him with the ceremony of a marquis."

"As for Yi Wenjun, her assassination of the royal heir will never be easily forgiven. I will not pursue the crimes of other members of the Yi family. I will just throw Yi Wenjun into a mass grave."

Xiao Ruofeng wanted to persuade him again, but unfortunately Emperor Tai'an had already closed his eyes and didn't want to talk anymore.

Xiao Ruofeng went back and while worrying about Xiao Ruojin's funeral, he also bought a thin coffin and sent Yi Wenjun to the mass grave outside the city for burial. When Emperor Tai'an found out about it, he just sighed and didn't blame him at all.

After all, a person's act of kindness is always more reassuring than an act of malice.

Jiang Xinxin originally thought that Yi Wenjun would choose to live in Nanjue or a small place around Xueyue City, but she didn't expect that she would prefer places outside the region.

Ye Dingzhi wanted to completely end the engagement, so he wanted to send Yi Wenjun to settle outside the territory, but Yi Wenjun insisted on coming to Wangcheng Mountain to see Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin didn't think she had anything to say to Yi Wenjun, so she rejected Yi Wenjun's request to meet and asked Ye Dingzhi to send him away immediately. Ye Dingzhi would listen to Jiang Xinxin's opinion, especially since Yi Wenjun had already decided on her destination, and he no longer had any feelings for Yi Wenjun.

Yi Wenjun felt very uncomfortable when she couldn't see Jiang Xinxin, but it couldn't affect Jiang Xinxin at all. Half a month later, when Ye Dingzhi came back from outside the territory, Jiang Xinxin knew that the reason why Yi Wenjun chose the outside the territory was because that was where the power of the Shadow Sect and the Beili royal family was the weakest, and the customs of the people outside the territory were open. As long as she had the ability to protect herself, she might be able to make a career.

Just when Emperor Tai'an's health was deteriorating and Crown Prince Xiao Ruofeng's succession to the throne was almost certain, Emperor Tai'an actually sent the imperial preceptor Qi Tianchen to Wangcheng Mountain to announce the decree and invite Jiang Xinxin to meet him in the palace.

Jiang Xinxin just snorted in her heart when she heard the overly polite wording in the imperial edict.

Poor Lu Suzhen, she quietly entered the realm of spiritual wandering, and still had to worry about her little disciple Jiang Xinxin. Qi Tianchen almost laughed out loud when he saw Jiang Xinxin herself looking nonchalant, but the old people around her were all worried.

Zhao Yuzhen started to tell fortunes for Jiang Xinxin without saying a word, but Jiang Xinxin was not someone who could do that. Zhao Yuzhen spat out a mouthful of blood with a pale face, but just shook his head and fainted. Jiang Xinxin had to personally help Zhao Yuzhen relieve the serious injuries caused by the backlash.

Wang Yihang pulled Qi Tianchen aside and asked, "Uncle Qi, you have been with His Majesty for many years. His Majesty suddenly summoned Junior Sister today. What do you think might be the reason?"

Qi Tianchen sighed and said, "Yuan Xin has rarely come down from the mountain in recent years, but he has done a lot. Whether it is the prescriptions that are becoming more and more popular, the assassins from the Dark River coming ashore, or the reconstruction of Muliang City, they are all seen by His Majesty."

Qi Tianchen truly thought that this nephew was truly amazing. He was certain that what he had said might be what Jiang Xinxin wanted Emperor Tai'an to see, and Emperor Tai'an might actually know more than that.

Seeing that Wang and his group were becoming more and more nervous, Jiang Xinxin quickly stopped them and directly pulled Qi Tianchen down the mountain.

Wang Yihang quickly chased after her and asked, "Junior sister, what are you doing?!"

Jiang Xinxin took the time to turn around and replied: "Let's go to Tianqi City. The sooner we go, the sooner we can come back."

Qi Tianchen came to Wangcheng Mountain in the name of the imperial teacher to announce the decree. Of course, he couldn't just go out casually. He had to have all the necessary ceremonial guards and pomp. So it took him more than a month to go back, which made Jiang Xinxin particularly annoyed with Emperor Tai'an.

Qi Tianchen saw that Jiang Xinxin was dissatisfied with Emperor Tai'an, so he advised: "Yuan Xin, there are many masters in the royal family, and although the Shadow Sect is declining rapidly, it seems that Your Majesty has no one to use, but in fact, Your Majesty has now completely controlled the Shadow Sect and concentrated most of the resources of the Shadow Sect in his hands."

"It's true that you have a high level of cultivation, but when it comes to being ruthless and cruel, you are definitely not as good as that person."

Jiang Xinxin didn't care about Emperor Tai'an, and she didn't care about the entire Beili Imperial Family, but she also accepted Qi Tianchen's kindness and explained, "I'm just annoyed by the way Emperor Tai'an always wants to scheme against others. As an emperor, he must have known that everything can't go as planned, but he insisted on making things difficult for me. Doesn't he allow me to resist?"

Qi Tianchen sighed and revealed a secret that no one else knew: "There is a formation in Tianqi City. When Beili was founded, the Emperor Tai and Emperor Zu asked the Zhuge family to help and set it up based on the luck of Beili. This formation has a suppressive effect on any master who enters Tianqi City, but the emperor will not use it easily."

Jiang Xinxin couldn't stand the fact that Qi Tianchen was nearly ten years younger than her cheap master Lu Suzhen, but already had white hair and beard, so she advised him, "Uncle Qi, this imperial master is in charge of the Imperial Observatory. He seems to be very good at observing the celestial phenomena at night and investigating human nature during the day, and avoiding disasters and seeking good fortunes. But in fact, you know what kind of person the emperor is. If he makes a mistake, he will inevitably implicate the people around him."

"You might as well keep your mouth shut and spend more energy every year calculating the calendar for farmers all over the world and guiding them on the correct time to plant crops. This would be a great act and would bring great merit."

After Jiang Xinxin finished speaking, she closed her eyes and rested, not bothering to care about Qi Tianchen's reaction. Anyway, she had already given the safest way, and it was up to Qi Tianchen whether to do it or not.

And this time when she saw the gate of Apocalypse City again, even if Jiang Xinxin didn't look at it deliberately, she could feel the existence of the formation that Qi Tianchen had mentioned.

It seems that Emperor Tai'an is really holding back on something, Jiang Xinxin secretly sighed with a pout.

Fortunately, even if Emperor Tai'an had no good intentions, he did not dare to neglect Jiang Xinxin, a cultivator in the mysterious realm and the headmaster of Wangcheng Mountain. She stayed in the Imperial Observatory in the palace for one night and was summoned by Emperor Tai'an early the next morning.

Jiang Xinxin wore a purple gold pearl-studded crown and a purple Shu brocade Taoist robe with water cloud patterns and auspicious cloud patterns. When they met, she just nodded slightly and made the Ziwu gesture to greet Emperor Tai'an.

Emperor Tai'an was of course dissatisfied when he saw this, but he was also afraid of Jiang Xinxin's strength in the realm of mystery and her so-called destiny.

Emperor Tai'an asked people to give him a seat and served him tea and snacks. Then he said with emotion: "This is the first time I have met the little Heavenly Master. The little Heavenly Master is really talented and beautiful, and is incomparable to ordinary people."

Jiang Xinxin didn't mean to be polite, and said directly: "Okay, okay."

Emperor Tai'an was so easily choked by the four words "Jiang Xinxin" that even the eunuch Zhuoqing who was serving beside him couldn't help but look sideways.
