Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 333 Yu Gu Yao 5

In Jiang Xinxin's opinion, although Shi Ying is a gentleman, sincere, kind, humble, studious, and smart, he has always grown up in a very simple environment, so he cannot have a clear understanding of many sufferings in this world.

Jiang Xinxin never thought of interfering with Shi Ying's death, because a death is a death, and it is not so easy to break, even if she is an outsider. Because Shi Ying is about to turn eighteen years old, his temperament has long been determined, and he will never change easily unless he encounters a catastrophe.

The saying that character determines destiny is not always applicable, but most of the time it is indeed true.

In Jiang Xinxin's opinion, Shi Ying's so-called fate or death calamity was most likely designed according to his personality.

Although Shi Ying had thought it through thoroughly when he returned, he became interested when he saw the Chi clan princess Zhu Yan again. In other words, he wanted to find her lover who intended to overthrow Kong Sang through this Chi clan princess, and then resolve the matter in advance before she fell in love with him.

The Great Siming did not really allow Shi Ying to secretly investigate the female relatives of the six tribes. Especially when he heard someone report that Shi Ying was most concerned about the princess of the Chi tribe, the Great Siming immediately obtained the birth dates and horoscopes of the six female relatives, and calculated them one by one, making sure that there was indeed no fatal disaster for Shi Ying. Only then did he feel at ease to let Shi Ying act.

What the Great God of Destiny did not expect was that the horoscope that Princess Zhu Yan of the Chi clan reported to the outside world and even to her superiors had actually been changed by King Chi. Her real date of birth was half a year earlier than the Mingchanyue date that was announced to the outside world. It was on the coldest day of the winter month of the previous year.

Although Shi Ying likes Zhu Yan's liveliness and freedom, and she looks like someone who was raised and spoiled by her parents, he can't help but reduce his filter for Zhu Yan when he thinks that Zhu Yan will fall in love with an enemy who intends to overthrow Kongsang in the future.

In the Jialan Palace, Concubine Qing, who gave birth to the second prince Shi Yu, has been paying attention to the movements of the deposed Queen Bai Yan.

Thousands of years ago, the six tribes seemed to be of equal strength. However, because Emperor Xingzun’s Queen Bai Wei was from the Bai tribe, the Bai tribe actually served as the leader of the six tribes for a long time.

Later, Emperor Xingzun and Queen Baiwei fell out, and the status of the Bai people was slightly weakened. But unexpectedly, Emperor Xingzun left a decree before his death saying that from now on the position of Queen Kongsang could only come from the Bai people, which raised the status of the Bai people to the top of the six tribes.

Even though the other five tribes had no objections at first, as time went by, the strength and status of each tribe was constantly changing. Unexpectedly, due to the will of Emperor Xingzun, the women of the six tribes, no matter how outstanding they were, could only enter the palace to be concubines and be subservient to the women of the Bai tribe. The Qing tribe tried their best to break this situation.

The sister of this generation of Prince Qing is none other than Concubine Qing, who gave birth to the only second prince. Concubine Qing stares at Bai Yan and wants her to die with a stigma. It would be best if she were to be completely deposed from the position of Queen and then push her own son Shi Yu to the throne.

The Green King had long been in collusion with the Ice Clan, and had even been a driving force behind the Queen's dethronement and Shi Ying's fake death.

Although no one except Bai Yan and Da Siming knew that Shi Ying was still alive, the Qing Clan never gave up their plan to kill Bai Yan.

So, Bai Yan restored her voice by taking Qingyin Luling, which her son Shi Ying had smuggled into the palace with great difficulty. Concubine Qing immediately got the news and turned around to report Bai Yan's fraud to Emperor Beimian, and even further suspected that Prince Shi Ying had faked his death and escaped from the palace.

It has to be said that Concubine Qing was indeed a good candidate for conspiracy. Even though Bai Yan got the news in advance that Concubine Qing had reported her and she swallowed charcoal and died for Shi Ying's safety, Concubine Qing deduced from Bai Yan's behavior that Prince Shi Ying was most likely not dead.

If Shi Ying was not dead, then he could only hide in Mount Jiuyi or the Jialan White Pagoda to conceal the astrological signs and prevent others from spying on him. Therefore, Concubine Qing wrote directly to his brother, asking the people of the Qing clan to take advantage of the Jiuyi Mountain sacrificial ceremony to investigate the cultivators on Mount Jiuyi who were about the same age as the prince Shi Ying.

Of course, Jiang Xinxin didn't know about the secret actions of the Green Tribe, the Ice Tribe and the mermaids. She just saw that Shi Ying seemed to be in a state of despair recently, as if his mother had died. After asking, she found out that he really had lost his mother.

Jiang Xinxin was really a little embarrassed to ask this question, and she tried to comfort Shi Ying, "Birth, aging, illness and death are all normal. You thought your mother's life had ended, but in fact she just ended this relationship and was preparing to move on to the next one."

"The world after death is similar to the human world. All the dead souls will stay in the underworld for a short time, waiting to erase their memories before heading off to the next stage of their journey."

"From what you said, your mother was not peaceful and happy when she was alive. So what you can do now is to take good care of yourself and don't let your mother always worry about you in the underworld. This will be detrimental to her ghost after her death."

Shi Ying choked up and said, "But my father, Emperor Beimian, actually said that my mother had committed a serious sin during her lifetime and forbade her to be buried in the Valley of the Kings. He also forbade anyone to offer sacrifices to her. They disposed of my mother's spirit at will!"

Jiang Xinxin sighed in her heart and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Shi Ying noticed Jiang Xinxin's coldness, and reflexively wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, turned around and said goodbye.

Jiang Xinxin did not try to persuade Shi Ying to stay, nor did she really not care about it. She just hoped that Shi Ying could make a decision that truly suits his heart with a clear mind.

Shi Ying did not have any bad thoughts about Jiang Xinxin's indifference. He just suddenly realized that Jiang Xinxin was a god. In her long life, she had naturally seen all kinds of things. The other party's coldness and even indifference were all due to her rich experience that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Jiang Xinxin's question was not meant to express impatience with him, but rather to remind him that he should stop crying and feeling sad as soon as possible and that the next thing to do was to be serious.

So Shi Ying allowed himself to grieve all night long. The next morning, as the sun rose, he tried his best to suppress the grief for losing his mother in his heart, and turned to ask Da Siming how to get the treatment his mother deserved.

Da Siming has brought Bai Yan's body back to Mount Jiuyi. Even though Emperor Beimian has ordered that Bai Yan should not be buried in the Valley of Kings, and the current chief of the Bai tribe has directly severed ties with Bai Yan for the so-called reason of avoiding suspicion, he had planned it long ago. After the sacrificial ceremony is over, he will let Shi Ying secretly arrange Bai Yan's funeral and then quietly bury Bai Yan in the Valley of Kings.

Shi Ying agreed to Da Siming's suggestion. Because he had to observe mourning, Shi Ying stayed in his residence all day and didn't want to go out. Da Siming wanted to let him relax a little, so he took out a water mirror so that he could watch the sacrificial ceremony through the water mirror.
