Chapter 980 Looks alike
Xuan Liangyue recalled the portrait she saw that day and found that the eyes of His Royal Highness of the princess in the two portraits were different. One had charm in her eyes, while the other looked very pure. What Xuan Liangyue could think of was that the person who painted the princess was definitely not the only one.
Murong Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Ayue is indeed smart, but the person who painted this portrait should be one person, but it may be two people in the painting."
Xuan Liangyue was a little surprised, then looked at the portrait carefully, nodded and said, "The girl is right, there is something wrong with this portrait."
"This painting was found in the underground secret room. When we first saw the portrait, I thought it was a person. However, because of a letter from our ancestors, we realized that the princess had a twin sister. The painting you are looking at now is the princess's sister. I think it must have been painted by the Qu family." Murong Xi explained.
"The princess has a twin sister? Why is it such a coincidence? Wait, since the princess has a sister, why haven't she heard anyone mention it?" Baili Chen asked in surprise.
"The little princess grew up in the tribe. The big princess was adopted by her grandfather and lived in a mountain village. So before that, no one had seen the big princess. No one even knew that the clan leader had a pair of twin daughters. The clan leader was very ambitious and hoped that his little daughter would marry the prince of Dongmo. Just when he wanted to mention this to the prince, he found that the little daughter had already decided to be pregnant for life. So he locked his little daughter in
He went to the secret room and rushed to call the eldest princess back. The person the prince saw was the eldest princess, and the two fell in love at first sight. After the little princess gave birth to the child, the child was taken away. The patriarch wanted to drown the child, but was rescued by the eldest princess. The eldest princess sent the child back to the Qu family on the day of marriage. This is the secret we found in the Medicine King Valley. After reading this letter, I felt that the patriarch was really hateful." Murong Xi said leisurely.
"So that's the case, this happened. So, what about that little princess?" Xuan Liangyue asked sympathetically.
"She died in the secret room. She thought the child was drowned, so she was depressed all day long. After giving birth to the child, she couldn't get sick three months later, and finally died in the secret room." Murong Xi said sadly.
"This patriarch is so cruel to his daughter, he is simply not a human being." Baili Chen said excitedly.
"Elder Qu was very sad after reading the letter. He felt that his ancestors were still so loyal to protect the Yun family and came to the Central Plains to protect the Yun family. But he thought his ancestors were stupid, and he still kept his promise to continue to protect the Yun family." Murong Xi murmured.
"It's no wonder that Elder Qu thought so. This patriarch was indeed too much. I can't understand why he didn't marry his little daughter to the ancestor of the Qu family?" Baili Chen asked.
"The patriarch actually has a younger brother. He has always wanted to find an opportunity to become the patriarch. Therefore, the patriarch did not want to put the handle in the hands of others, so he could only swallow his anger and throw his little daughter into the secret room. For his own selfish desires and reputation, he killed his daughter." Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"So, when the ancestor of the Qu family painted the princess again, he guessed that the princess was not the one he liked, right?" Xuan Liangyue asked.
Xuan Liangyue was indeed smart and guessed the secret in the portrait so quickly.
"That's right, after the eldest princess came back, she must have seen Elder Qu. The portrait might have been painted at that time." Murong Xi said.
"So, it is precisely because of this that he gave the painting of the eldest princess to the eldest princess? But why did the painting of the little princess appear in the Valley of Medicine King?" Xuan Liangyue asked.
Murong Xi understood Xuan Liangyue's meaning. The person who fell in love with the little princess was the younger brother of the Qu family, and the elder Qu from the Fengtian Sect. If the portrait had been left by the younger brother of the Qu family, why would it appear in the Medicine King Valley?
Murong Xi said, "After reading the letter, I looked at the painting carefully. At first, I thought the painting was painted on the portrait. After carefully reading it, I realized that the person in the portrait was not the same person. I was also wondering why the portrait of the little princess ran to the Medicine King Valley? Unfortunately, only part of these things was said in the letter, and the matter about this painting was not mentioned in the letter."
"Well, I'm afraid only the ancestors of the Qu family can know. Fortunately, you didn't go in vain this time and brought back the sheepskin map in the Medicine King Valley." Xuan Liangyue murmured.
"There is no secret painting where the sheepskin map is placed. The portrait is placed on the bookshelf in the underground secret room, but what about the sheepskin map? It is only placed on the bookshelf in the study room." Murong Xi said.
"Xi'er, why didn't the ancestor of Fengtian Sect mention this matter?" Feng Mingye asked.
"I also find it a little strange. The little princess is the one whom the ancestor loved. Why did that ancestor not mention it in the letter? Even the portrait is hidden in the Valley of Medicine King." Murong Xi said.
"The painting brought back from the Fengtian Sect was the explanation of the eldest princess, because the painting contained the secret of the prescription. However, the ancestor was indeed a little strange and did not leave any words about the little princess." Feng Mingye asked.
"Don't think too much about you two. Maybe things are not as complicated as we think? We feel relieved when we see you come back. Go back and rest for a while. A Chen and I will continue to play chess here." Xuan Liangyue was worried that Murong Xi was too tired. Anyway, the secret of the portrait was clear, so it would be better for them to have a good rest.
Feng Mingye got up, helped Murong Xi up, and said, "Let's go back first."
"good."
The two went back to the backyard, and Feng Mingye arranged for someone to boil water and let Murong Xi take a shower and change his clothes. After Murong Xi went to take a shower, he said to Linglong: "Linglong, prepare some food."
"Just just now Ruhua and I saw the lady and my son-in-law come back, we went to the kitchen to prepare the meal. After the lady takes a shower, we will bring the meal over." Linglong said slowly.
"Okay." Feng Mingye turned around and went to take a shower and change his clothes.
However, when he came out, Murong Xi had not come out yet.
Feng Mingye was a little worried, so he quickly walked in and took a look. Sure enough, Murong Xi slept in the bathtub because he was too tired.
Feng Mingye shook his head helplessly, and as usual, he took Murong Xi out and wiped it clean, and then sent it to the inner room for rest.
Feng Mingye turned around and said to Linglong, "Let's wait for the meal, your ladies are asleep."
"Son-in-law, you and the lady have nothing to eat. Since the lady is asleep, why don't you eat something first?" Linglong asked in a low voice.
"Okay." Feng Mingye was indeed hungry, so he responded to Linglong's suggestion.
After hearing this, Linglong went to the kitchen with Ruhua to bring the food in.
After Feng Mingye used the meal, he took a nap on the soft collapse outside for a while. After waking up, he found Murong Xi sitting on the table for dinner.
"Awakened?" Murong Xi asked when he saw Feng Mingye coming.
"Well, you are asleep in the bathtub again. Don't be so arrogant next time. You have to rest when you are tired." Feng Mingye said with heartache.
Murong Xi knew what Feng Mingye was referring to, so she smiled slightly and nodded. Although she was not very tired in the Medicine King Valley, she did not expect to fall asleep in the bathtub as soon as she came back. It was caused by the residual poison of her body. There was no way, she had to pay attention next time.
Seeing Murong Xi like this, Feng Mingye sat down next to her to pick up food for her. He said to Murong Xi: "Eat more, you'll be hungry."
"Fortunately, I don't know if the sheepskin map has been processed on Ji Limo." Murong Xi asked.
"If he does it, he will definitely come here as soon as possible." Feng Mingye said.
"Let's go to the front hall after dinner." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Okay." After Feng Mingye finished speaking, he picked up another chopstick dish for Murong Xi.
After the meal, the two went to the front hall. Sure enough, Xuan Liangyue and Baili Chen were still playing chess.
"You guys woke up?" Baili Chen asked.
"Well, I just ate some food." Murong Xi said.
Feng Mingye and Murong Xi just sat down when Ji Limo entered the front hall.
"Have the sheepskin map been processed?" Murong Xi stood up and asked when he saw Ji Limo coming.
"Well, come and have a look." Ji Limo said.
When he heard that the sheepskin map had been processed, Bailichen and Xuan Liangyue had the intention to play chess, so he followed him to watch it.
After Ji Limo processed the sheepskin map, he put the six maps into a whole piece. Ji Limo walked to the table and spread the map out and lay it flat.
Everyone walked to the table, and Ji Limo said, "Xi'er, the map has been put together. This place is indeed close to the small town in the south. Look here, there are several mountains here near the tribe."
Ji Limo asked Murong Xi to take a closer look. Murong Xi looked at it and said, "Although there were only five sheepskins last time, we all know that the location on the map is near the tribe. Wait, look here."
Everyone looked in the direction Murong Xi pointed and found that in addition to the treasure chest he had discovered before, there was also a treasure chest in another place.
"How can I get an extra treasure chest?" Xuan Liangyue said.
"It's true that there is an extra treasure chest, and I'm very surprised. When these six maps were not put together, I could only see one treasure chest. After the six maps were put together, the map changed. This treasure chest appeared only after the map was put together, which even I found it incredible." Ji Limo thought for a while and said.
"Why did the sheepskin map change? It's really strange." Murong Xi asked in confusion.
"I always feel that something is missing on the map, but I can't explain what is missing." Feng Mingye sighed and said.
Murong Xi looked at the map carefully, but couldn't see what was missing on the map.
She thought for a while and said, "Since the map has been found, we are about to start working on how to get to the place on the map."
"It's no problem to go to this place on the map, but you don't even think about it now. Besides, the most important thing now is to deal with the matter of the elder. You should first adjust your body." Ji Limo shrugged and said.
"Amo is right. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body. Don't forget that you are pregnant." Feng Mingye told worriedly.
"I understand. But when are you going to see the elder?" Murong Xi shrugged and said.
