Chapter 102 – Soothing the Past and Present in the Platform of Dew (1/2)
Xue Xing Chuan led the Red Cloud Kylin through the entrance. This elite who ranked second among the thirty eight Generals in the continent now appeared to be extremely respectful and submissive. The Red Cloud Kylin beside him looked even worse. Its body kept on shaking and it couldn’t stand still. The hammer-like kylin tail kept on waving back and forth. It seemed distressed.
The middle aged woman wrinkled her eyebrows.
Xue Xing Chuan didn’t understand why his mount was behaving so strangely tonight. He stood up and tried to explain, “the power of the Queen is boundless……”
The middle aged woman was the Divine Queen of Zhou Dynasty, the most prestigious individual in this world.
“It’s unrelated to me, you don’t have to worry,” she thought back to the moment when the youngster of Tradition Academy stood near the door and held his sword handle. She rubbed the neck of the kylin lightly. In just a moment, the Red Cloud Kylin calmed down.
“Next time don’t bring it so close, or else it may actually die from exhaustion,” she looked at Xue Xing Chuan and said.
Xue Xing Chuan was confused. He thought to himself, “Is the weird behavior of kylin due to the ordinary youngster named Chen Chang Sheng?”
“You really think he’s ordinary?”
The Divine Queen seemed to read through his mind and said indifferently, “If he’s actually an ordinary youngster, how could he break even with Gou Han Shi at the Ivy Festival? Without some skills, why would the elders use him to distract me?”
Xue Xing Chuan was silent, because at this moment, it was unfitting for him to speak. Especially since the Divine Queen had expressed her dislike of the Tradition Academy today, it meant that he had made a big mistake dealing with the public riot in front of the Tradition Academy the way he did.
Only one Night Pearl on the Nectar Platform was lit up. The black goat named Hei Yu was standing besides the Night Pearl. It was rubbing its head against the pearl, while Mo Yu was grinding ink in front of the desk. The wind was blowing the hair on her cheek causing it to be a little messy.
Hearing the voice, she turned around and saw the Divine Queen walk up the platform. She immediately went over to walk by her.
“Queen, the fall rain washed the sky several times. Tonight was the right time to observe stars but you came late.”
Divine Queen said, “I have already seen it tonight.”
Mo yu was surprised, asked, “Where did you see it?”
Divine Queen said, “In the Herb Garden.”
Hearing these words, Mo Yu felt a little shocked thinking that anyone in the palace would know that ever since the previous emperor passed away, the Queen had never visited the Herb Garden. Why did she break the rule tonight?
“You went to the Tradition Academy today?” The Divine Queen seemed to ask casually.
She didn’t say “I heard you went to the Tradition Academy,” because she was the Divine Queen; she didn’t need to ask indirect questions.
The coldness in Mo Yu’s heart grew. She thought to herself, how would she even dare to hide anything but she responded with a low voice, “Yes.”
The Divine Queen raised her left hand and lightly touched Mo Yu’s soft cheek. She said, “Did you do these things?”
Mo Yu knew what kind of positions the Queen and Tian Hai Family played in the two consecutive blood baths that happened today.
She didn’t understand the Queen’s attitude, so she didn’t dare answer recklessly. Mo Yu answered lightly, “I dare not.”
“Without your permission, they dared to act? The Tradition Academy is pretty close to the Royal Palace.”
The Divine Queen looked at her and said lightly. Her right hand was still rubbing her face.
Mo Yu noticed the smile on the Queen’s lips and her heart froze. She was terrified.
How would she know that the Divine Queen was just thinking about the youngster and was comparing the smoothness of their faces?
Mo Yu lowered her head and said, “The whole business about this marriage still needs a conclusion……Xu You Rong used the marriage vow as an excuse to not marry Qiu Shan Jun. The bond between North and South….”
“What about the bond between North and South? I said it before, if Xu You Rong doesn’t want to marry, then let her be, but……no one believed me.”
The Divine Queen lowered her hand and walked to the Platform of Dew while glancing at the capital under the night sky. Her voice showed a trace of loneliness, “Everyone always thinks I value the world the most and that sacrificing a girl’s dream is trivial by comparison. Therefore you didn’t believe me, even Xu You Rong didn’t believe me. For this……you used all that you can.”
Mo Yu was silence for a moment and said, “Regardless of the marriage vow, I still think the youngster is a little strange. He appeared in such a precise moment and critical situation.”
The critical moment she was referring to was the bad influence the marriage vow had on the policy of Zhou Dynasty. In addition, he was now a symbol of the old force of capital to strike against the Queen.
The Divine Queen didn’t turn around and said indifferently, “Aren’t you the one who put him into the Tradition Academy?”
Mo Yu’s expression turned serious, “Yes, but I’m thinking perhaps someone was pushing the wave in disguise and used the Dong Yu General’s Mansion and Xu You Rong’s letter to prevent me from making the correction decision, and this decision helped Chen Chang Sheng appear in front of the public of the capital.
“So what if he appeared?”
“His last name is Chen. Perhaps someone is trying to make the capital’s public think back to the royal family.”
“……..how did your research go?”
“His teacher is Taoist Ji…..and besides this, there are no more clues. According to the message from Xi Ning, the old temple is still there but no one is in it.”
Hearing the name of Taoist Ji, Divine Queen was silent for a long time and she suddenly said, “Stop the investigation.”
Mo Yu was surprised, she didn’t understand why the Divine Queen ordered this.
Divine Queen looked at the starry sky quietly. There is fate, but no one can see through their own fate, even she can’t.
But she had the confidence to control her fate and even the heaven cannot stop her from doing so.
That youngster was her nemesis?
Hilarious.
She said, “The capital is vast.”
