Vol 5 Chapter 15: Mystery guest (plus more)
Emperor Cheng sighed softly: "I know you don't believe it. When I was fascinated by Sanniang, my father was also very worried. At that time, in order to make me give up, he made Sanniang reveal her original shape..." Emperor Cheng fell into a long silence, It seems that the scene at that time is still fresh in his memory, "Sanniang is still in Jiumen now, and her appearance is the same as when I saw her back then. The Lian Youyou mentioned by Chen'er is the most recent Jiumen. This Women are only more powerful than Sanniang, Yanxia, the women in the Nine Gates must not be human, so how can we let Chen'er get closer?" Chengdi really looked at her with the most serious expression. His wife Yuchi Yanxia.
"Hehe..." Unexpectedly, Yuchi Yanxia laughed blankly like this, "Your Majesty, your reason...is too..."
"Hey! I knew you didn't believe me." Emperor Cheng sat down depressed, and sighed sideways, "The Nine Gates are the biggest secret of my dynasty. If it weren't for Chen'er who only listened to you, I would trust you the most in my heart. I would never fight with you." You said half a word. In short, Chen'er must never go to the Nine Gates again, and see that mysterious Lian Youyou again."
Yuchi Yanxia blinked her eyes, became more serious, then sat down and looked at Chengdi seriously: "My Yuchi family will also make friends with many martial arts people, and there are many strange people among them, I will treat that Lian Youyou as a dangerous strange person , You can’t stop Chen’er like this, the Nine Gates will belong to him sooner or later. Why don’t you use the same way that the emperor treats you, and use it on Chen’er, so that he can stop thinking about it.”
"You mean..." Emperor Cheng looked at Yuchi Yanxia, and Yuchi Yanxia blinked at him: "How did the Supreme Emperor make you stop thinking about it back then, now the Emperor, you can do the same."
After hearing this, Emperor Cheng lowered his eyes and nodded in thought for a moment: "It seems that this is the only way. Only by letting him see the real Nine Gates will he know the danger."
Yuchi Yanxia carefully looked at Chengdi's pensive face for a moment, her eyes flickered, and a smirk came out of her mouth again: "Then...can I also take a look?"
Emperor Cheng was startled, and raised his face to look at Yuchi Yanxia. Yuchi Yanxia narrowed her eyes and smiled at him, the light in her eyes obviously didn't reach her goal and she didn't stop. Yuchi Yanxia dared to do this in front of Emperor Cheng because of Emperor Cheng's love for her.
Emperor Cheng sighed softly, anyway, he is not the only one who knows about the Nine Gates, Old General Yuchi and Prime Minister Lin You also know a thing or two. But they didn't know as much as he did, and they didn't know that there would be an immortal Yu Sanniang in the Nine Gates.
In the minds of General Yuchi and Lin Youxiang, Nine Gates may be more like a Fengshui organization, such as showing Fengshui to the capital, setting up a Fengshui formation, and choosing the address of the imperial mausoleum.
But they don't know that what the nine gates guard is the stability of the capital, the peace with the dungeon, and the protection from evil attacks. The existence of these nine gates is even longer than their Qian Dynasty.
In fact, Emperor Cheng didn't know many things. The Nine Gates was an organization that took care of itself, and they didn't even need to report what they did. If he hadn't been fascinated by San Niang back then, and the Supreme Emperor made such a terrible plan, he would never have imagined that there would be monsters and dungeons in this world.
Today, he told the queen that there are demons, but the queen didn't believe it. If he told her that there were all kinds of ghosts living underground in the capital, the queen would probably call the imperial doctor immediately.
The relationship between the royal family and the Nine Gates can be said to be both close and distant.
The royal family relies on the nine gates for protection, and the nine gates rely on the royal family to gain certain power. The royal family still has some fears about the Nine Gates, because there are no people there, and they panic when they think about it.
However, if there are no nine gates on the ground, the spirits and monsters from the ground will come up to cause harm to the world. In front of spirits and monsters, human beings are still a little weak. No matter who becomes the emperor, he doesn't want the capital to suddenly run wild with monsters. If there is a monster who replaces him without knowing it, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
In this way, these Jiumen really look like hooligans who collect protection fees.
Therefore, the Nine Gates are only passed on orally among the emperors, because if it spreads, it may cause panic among ordinary people.
Even, when the dynasty changed, people from the Nine Gates would come to the door on their own, just routinely informing the current emperor of their responsibilities. With the help of the royal family, it will be more convenient for them to solve the case. For example, you can have the status of a government servant, which is convenient for you to act.
Nine Gates is such a dragging existence, it even surpasses the royal family, but the royal family has nothing to do with it.
Starting from the Qian Dynasty, the gatekeepers of the Nine Gates allowed each emperor to have more right to know. After all, he is an emperor, if something has been over him for a long time, he must feel unhappy and resentful, which will also be detrimental to Jiumen.
When Emperor Cheng was young, Emperor Cheng, like Duanmu Qingchen, was full of curiosity about the Nine Gates, and couldn't wait to see this mysterious person in the Nine Gates who was concealed by his father.
However, now, he has the same worries as his father did back then. No matter how to stop Duanmu Qingchen, he will always know the secret of the Nine Gates, because sooner or later, the Nine Gates will be passed into his hands.
Back then, he fell in love with Yu Sanniang.
The current Duanmu Qingchen is obsessed with that Lian Youyou.
Emperor Cheng looked at the bright moon in the sky full of worry. He still knew a little about Yu Sanniang, but this Lian Youyou was a woman that even he didn't know. Whether she is a human or a demon, he has no way of knowing. It seems that it is necessary, he really wants to meet this Lian Youyou.
The moon and stars were thin, and the thin night fog began to cover the morning, bringing a chill of autumn frost.
The round table in the Fu family's courtyard has been cleaned, only the servant girl is wiping the table. There is still a hint of wine fragrance in the air, recording the joy and excitement of drinking and chatting here just now.
Yi Jilan took Yi Jixuan to the guest courtyard to rest. Fu Mingrui returned to his yard, and he hadn't had a good rest for several days.
Only Fu Mingsu was left standing in his study, looking at the scroll left by Fu Mingrui. He put his hands behind his back and stared at the scroll for a long time. How could Wang Yi disappear without any reason?
Wang Yi took a lot of trouble to install an important eyeliner who entered the household department. If you don't see it, you will see it. How can you not make him angry? ! This breath was suddenly stuck in his chest, which really made him extremely annoyed!
Suddenly, a sweet floral fragrance floated in the air. The fragrance of this flower is not like the cinnamon in the courtyard, but mixed with the fragrance of white flowers, which makes people feel refreshed.
Fu Mingsu was puzzled when he smelled the fragrance of flowers, because the fragrance of flowers dispelled the boredom in his heart and gradually calmed his mind.
"Why is Mr. Fu bored? I wonder if I can help you?" Suddenly, a clear and sweet voice sounded in his study.
"Who is it?!" He looked at the voice in surprise, but saw a mysterious man in a purple robe and a purple veil standing in his study!
