Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1500: Legend of the Hidden Sea 20

Mingyu Suti did not expect that the jade fetus she presented to Emperor Zhenshun would not have the effect she wanted. She originally thought that she could have more contact with Cang Hai, but after knowing everything about his father, Cang Hai was so obsessed with his marriage with Prince Qinghe that he almost forgot about his enemy.

Mingxiang Antu, however, wanted to say a few fair words for Zanghai: "Zanghai has not forgotten his blood feud, but he has been alone for so many years, and he longs for a family. It just so happens that the person he is marrying is Xiao Jinyue, whom he has been in love with for a long time."

As he spoke, Mingxiang Antu carefully observed the changes in his mother's expression, "As for his third enemy who has no clue yet, mother, do you know anything about him?"

Ming Yusuti couldn't help but sigh, "I can guess that it was Zhuang Luyin because Zhuang Luyin also noticed something wrong with the Fengshan Terrace. He had been monitoring Kuai Duo from the beginning, so as soon as Kuai Duo made a move, he received the news."

"I can guess that it's Cao Jingxian because Cao Jingxian has been the confidant of Emperor Zhenshun since ten years ago. Even though Emperor Zhenshun has two minions, the Capital City Division and the Commandery Division, the one who handles external affairs and acts arrogantly has always been the Commandery Division under Cao Jingxian's control. The Capital Division is almost squeezed out of its own territory."

"But if there is a third person, I tend to think that this person must be closely related to Zhuang Luyin and Cao Jingxian. What do you think?"

Mingxiang Antu would certainly hide some things about Canghai from her mother, but she would not hide too much. She thought carefully for a while and could not be sure who the important official in the court who had close contacts with Zhuang Luyin and Cao Jingxian was. "Let's not talk about Zhuang Luyin. Even if he is a military general who doesn't get along well with civil officials, he is still a regular official. It is not surprising if an important official has private contacts with him."

"Cao Jingxian is different. Even though he is the emperor's lackey and to some extent his confidant, his background as a eunuch means that he can never have any dealings with the ministers of the previous dynasty beyond personal interests. Moreover, he was extremely cruel to Zhuang Luyin in the past, and it doesn't look like he has any dealings with Zhuang Luyin."

Ming Yusuti sighed and said, "You know how powerful the Guixi is. I must take it back."

Mingxiang Antu suddenly had an idea: "Mother, maybe we can directly tell Xiao Jinyue about the Guixi matter."

Mingyu Suti did not object at first, but carefully considered the possibilities.

Mingxiang Antu continued to add to Xiao Jinyue's story: "I have some understanding of Xiao Jinyue. She is unrestrained and will use fair and aboveboard means, and she is not afraid of using underhanded tactics. But her greatest strength is her integrity, which others do not have."

"She has always scoffed at the matter of the Gui Seal. If we tell her everything about the Gui Seal, as long as she is sure that what we say is true, we will have a chance to get the Gui Seal back from her."

In the end, Ming Yusuti shook his head. "It is precisely because Xiao Jinyue despises the seal and is quite upright that I dare not take the gamble. After all, judging from the consistent performance of the Queen of Qinghe, she has the people of Dayong in her heart. So if we take the seal back, will she think about whether we will use the seal again when the winter and summer in the future are in a critical moment of life and death?"

Mingxiang Antu really wanted to just destroy the Gui Seal, but as Mingyusuti said, if Dongxia was in a critical moment of life and death, she also agreed to use the Gui Seal for a desperate fight.

Ming Yusu stood up and patted Ming Xiang An Tu on the shoulder, saying, "So I still prefer Zang Hai. At least he would be willing to use the Gui Xi to get out the third person who killed his family."

Mingxiang Antu had nothing to say. Her love for Canghai could not disappear in a short time. Similarly, it was impossible for her not to consider Dongxia's future. What's more, Guixi was the sacred object of Dongxia, and returning to Dongxia was a serious matter.

Ming Yusuti secretly took the transcribed manuscript of Kuai Duo and met with Zang Hai again.

Unfortunately, she still underestimated Xiao Jinyue's influence on Zang Hai. Even though Zang Hai was very tempted by her proposed cooperation, he still insisted on asking Xiao Jinyue's opinion first.

Ming Yusuti had a terrible headache. He didn't understand why Kuai Duo's son, who was not as pedantic as he was, fell into the hands of Emperor Zhenshun's daughter Xiao Jinyue.

Zang Hai understood Ming Yusuti’s concerns and promised that even if Xiao Jinyue did not agree to the deal, he would ensure the safe return of mother and daughter to Dongxia.

Ming Yusuti secretly rolled his eyes and reminded Cang Hai unhappily: "Whether my daughter can end her life as a proton is not up to you. Your promise today is not credible at all."

Zang Hai recognized Ming Xiang An Tu as his friend, so he promised: "Of course I can still do this."

Mingyu Suti breathed a sigh of relief and could only grit his teeth and persevere to the end, "No matter what the result is, I, Dongxia, owe you a favor."

Emperor Zhenshun used to think little of Ming Yusuti, not only because she was a woman, but also because Dongxia had suffered a great defeat at her hands.

But the situation is different now. He intends to support Xiao Jinyue, so it is necessary for him to observe and learn from the inheritance of the Winter and Summer Royal Court.

Therefore, Emperor Zhenshun was the first to get the news that Mingyusuti had secretly met with Zanghai. Fortunately, after the meeting, Zanghai went straight to Qinghe Palace, otherwise Emperor Zhenshun would have considered canceling the engagement.

Emperor Zhenshun did not find it surprising that Ming Yusuti would look for Zang Hai. After all, the exquisite wooden palace presented by Dongxia was of familiar craftsmanship. It was most likely made by Kuai Duo. Emperor Zhenshun knew this very well. He was of course clear about Zang Hai's identity, and he even wanted to use Zang Hai to find the three bronze fish placed together with the Gui Seal.

Cang Hai and Ming Yusuti were unaware that Emperor Zhenshun also had something to ask for. This time when Cang Hai came to ask for a meeting, he successfully met Xiao Jinyue. He also told Xiao Jinyue all of Ming Yusuti's thoughts.

Xiao Jinyue really didn't care about the Guixi, but she also knew that she couldn't let Dongxia take it back. After all, this thing was a threat to all mankind, so she suggested to Cang Haidao: "I suggest destroying the Guixi directly. Dongxia will not be safe if this thing is in Dayong's territory; Dayong will also not let the Guixi return to Dongxia, and stage another Yinbing's help."

Hearing this, Zang Hai felt as if his mind had cleared up as if the fog had dissipated. He also agreed with Xiao Jinyue's idea, "Indeed, if there was no Guixi in this world, there wouldn't be so much fear and disputes."

Xiao Jinyue was very satisfied with Zang Hai's understanding. He waved his hand and asked him to go to his private vault to select materials. "Since Queen Dongxia still trusts you, you can choose from my private vault. Just go and forge the Gui Seal. By then, I just want the good news that the real Gui Seal disappears from the world."
