"Thank you, High Priest. We also hope that Miao territory will get better and better."
Lu Yangyang sincerely thanked them, and then called for someone to prepare a guest room.
Wen Yu disappeared as soon as he arrived in Jinzhou, probably off doing research somewhere again. Lu Yangyang came to Tiancheng Trading Company first to send Li Shisan and the High Priest back to Miaojiang as soon as possible. Now that she's not in a hurry, she wants to go find Zong Que and prepare the medicine as soon as possible while Wen Qingqing and Wen Yu are both there.
After seeing the person out, Lu Yangyang remembered to come back and ask Sheng Junyi, "Why are you here?"
Sheng Junyi clicked her tongue: "You only think of asking now?"
Lu Yangyang: "I was so surprised just now that I forgot about it."
Sheng Junyi chuckled and explained to her, "After receiving the message you sent, I immediately investigated Sheng Yunzhu. I found out she was secretly taken from the capital and headed south. Originally, I didn't even think about making the trip, but then I found out something else. Xueyan, who serves the Crown Prince, is from Miao territory. They came to the southwest to search for Little Fairy Doctor, but they didn't find anything. So Xueyan told the Crown Prince about Yuechuan Kingdom, saying that the Sacred Gu could revive the dead and heal bones, and could cure his lameness. But who is the Crown Prince? How could he believe such an unbelievable rumor just because of Xueyan's one-sided story? But he sensed there was something to work with, so he sent someone to pry open Sheng Yunzhu's mouth, hoping to find out from her whether the Sacred Gu actually exists and whether it's really that miraculous. However, Sheng Yunzhu told him something else."
Lu Yangyang exclaimed in shock, "Is it news about King Yuechuan?"
Sheng Junyi nodded: "Yes, Sheng Yunzhu told him that if His Highness could save her from this misery, she would tell him a huge secret about Yuechuan. After receiving the news, His Highness had her removed from the Duke of Zheng's mansion. Sheng Yunzhu told His Highness—"
Sheng Junyi glanced at Wen Qingqing and Sheng Yunjiao, who were still chattering about gems in the distance, leaned closer to Lu Yangyang, and lowered her voice, "In her previous life, at this time, a shocking event occurred. Before his death, King Yuechuan suddenly launched a coup, slaughtering the entire Yuechuan royal family and carrying out a massacre that lasted for several days throughout Yuechuan. He left a will to destroy Yuechuan and then commit suicide. This event was later revealed by those who escaped from Yuechuan. Because it was so horrifying and unbelievable, it naturally reached the capital and shocked the court and the public. Although no one knew the exact location of Yuechuan, the fact that a king of a country would do such a thing was still a topic of discussion for a long time."
Lu Yangyang suddenly realized: "I knew it."
Lu Yangyang had already guessed that Sheng Yunzhu must have told the Crown Prince about the war launched by King Yuechuan in Yuechuan. That's why the Crown Prince took this opportunity to try and get in touch with King Yuechuan from within, and it went surprisingly smoothly. Because this was King Yuechuan's original goal. To him, as long as he could destroy Yuechuan, it didn't matter whether he cooperated with someone from within or did the massacre himself.
This is the reason why King Yuechuan Mingyue Li agreed to cooperate with His Highness.
Because he never considered the Crown Prince at all; he wanted to completely destroy Yuechuan, and whether or not he joined made no difference to him.
The reason she didn't ask Sheng Yunzhu in the end was because it would have been pointless to ask her that question at that point.
"This is my fault," Sheng Junyi said calmly. "If you don't nip the problem in the bud, it will surely lead to endless troubles."
He sent Sheng Yunzhu to the Duke of Zheng's mansion because he didn't want her to die so easily.
He used to spoil Sheng Yunzhu the most, so he knew what Sheng Yunzhu cared about most, and he also knew how to completely destroy Sheng Yunzhu.
In his eyes, Sheng Yunzhu was such a brainless person that he couldn't be bothered to deal with her. But Sheng Yunzhu shouldn't have crossed his bottom line.
But now he truly regrets not sending her on her way directly.
Lu Yangyang, reflecting on the events in Yuechuan Kingdom, objectively remarked, "Misfortune and fortune are intertwined, so it's hard to say which choice was better. If she hadn't interfered, given the Crown Prince's cautious nature, he probably wouldn't have been able to enter Yuechuan so easily, let alone eliminate him so easily. At that time, whether in Miao Jiang or elsewhere, with his wealth and power, how many innocent people would have suffered if he wanted to stir up trouble? Similarly, the King of Yuechuan had long wanted to destroy Yuechuan, but Yue Ling's appearance changed his mind and ultimately altered Yuechuan's fate. I've heard it said that a butterfly's unintentional flapping of its wings can trigger a distant hurricane; a subtle change can bring about a world-shaking outcome. Perhaps this is what it means?"
Sheng Junyi seemed thoughtful. "What you say is indeed true. Fate is unpredictable and has no fixed course. Do you think Sheng Yunzhu's so-called past life really exists? If it does, does that mean my elder brother really died in the Northwest, and the Sheng family will eventually fall apart?"
Lu Yangyang recalled the dream she had. In the dream, Sheng Yunzhu was showered with love and favor, and the Sheng family would rise in status along with the Third Prince. How could there be any talk of them falling apart? If they were to fall apart, it would be the "she" in the dream who would fall apart, right?
Lu Yangyang was immediately puzzled: "Why is it in such a state of disarray? If Sheng Yunzhu really got what she wanted, shouldn't the Sheng family have become better?"
"You might as well pretend I don't exist. If my elder brother really died in the Northwest, I will find out the truth." Then I will settle scores and avenge all wrongs, no matter who it is.
Lu Yangyang was slightly stunned, and the dream in her mind, which had already begun to blur, shattered with a crash.
When they were in Jiangnan, she asked Sheng Junyi if he had ever coveted the position of heir apparent. Sheng Junyi told her that he would covet any position, but not the position of the eldest brother. Even though he had done many wrong things, he would never target the eldest brother.
She hadn't thought about it carefully at the time, but if she did, if her elder brother really had died in the Northwest, given Sheng Junyi's personality, how could he not investigate the truth behind this massive conspiracy? In her hazy dream, Sheng Junyi disappeared not long after her elder brother's death. Now, connecting the dots, there's only one possibility: he went to investigate that matter.
A person's circumstances may change, and their personality may undergo dramatic transformations, but some things will never change.
So, was that so-called dream really something that actually happened?
It's more like a story that was never fully completed, only scratching the surface.
It's like a storybook.
A script that has been artificially created.
And they are just a few lines of text in a storybook whose fates are controlled by the plot.
