Chapter 5 Change from the inside out
After listening to her grandfather's words, Sheng Zhiyao looked at Feng Yuanchen who was standing next to him. Although he was dressed simply, it did not affect his royal aura at all. He must be the son of some prince.
He looked about seven or eight years old, but he had a sense of alienation that kept strangers away from him. His pair of red and white eyes added a bit of mystery to his originally handsome face.
"Have you seen enough?" Feng Yuanchen looked at Sheng Zhiyao and spoke coldly, not at all as respectful as he was to Mr. Sheng.
Sheng Zhiyao was stunned and cried "Wow" again.
When Mr. Sheng saw that his precious granddaughter was crying again, he stared at the instigator: "Yuan Chen, if you make Zhiyao cry again, I will tear your bones apart."
"I'm sorry, master." Feng Yuanchen put away his indifferent face, but he did not forget the way Sheng Zhiyao stared at his eyes curiously just now.
Since he was a child, because his eyes were different from others, he was considered unknown at birth.
Even his biological father despised him, and his mother and concubine died in childbirth when he was born. Rumors spread in the palace, and even the palace people avoided him, fearing that they would be confused if they saw his strange eyes.
Not dying in vain.
When he returned to the palace, his father never visited him, and even tried to kill him several times. His aunt was even more unscrupulous because she thought he was an eyesore. In the end, he was sent to Zhuangzi where his mother's wife was dowry.
Although life here is not as good as in the capital, here he does not have to care about other people's opinions and can live an ordinary life freely and unrestrainedly.
Even so, his aunt still felt that he would hinder his son Feng Yuanqing's imperial path in the future. Countless poisonings and assassinations accompanied him as he grew up. No matter how far away he was, he could not escape his fate, and no matter how close he was, he could not escape his fate.
Become brothers.
It was also that year, after Lao Hou accidentally walked through the woods next to the villa, he discovered this isolated place. Feng Yuanchen, who had been poisoned and injured at the time, happened to be chased by a group of men in black and escaped here. Lao Hou
His secret guards came to rescue him, but in the end the man in black returned without success.
The old marquis took Feng Yuanchen into the carriage and detoxified him in the car. A piece of jade pendant slipped from his waist and let him know the origin of Feng Yuanchen.
It was carved by the skilled craftsmen in the palace, and his name - Chen was engraved on it.
Because of his severe injuries, Old Marquis Sheng could only find a relatively safe place to camp in the woods. It took him three days to bring Feng Yuanchen back from the gate of hell.
Due to the shortage of food in the past three days, the secret guards were hunting in the woods. Mr. Sheng was digging herbs in the woods. He poured the herbs and food into a pot and stewed them in a certain proportion. The final dish was a surprise to everyone present.
Everyone was amazed.
In this way, Feng Yuanchen quickly recovered completely under the careful care of Mr. Sheng. What he found most miraculous was the pill made by Mr. Sheng. Because the vegetation in the forest was dense and there were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants, Sheng
The old marquis made many pills using medicinal materials in the woods. After burning these pills, they were almost invulnerable to insects.
Just a few days of getting along with each other made Feng Yuanchen realize that the old marquis was knowledgeable and talented. He was willing to ask the old marquis to accept him as his disciple, but the old marquis Sheng did not agree.
The old Marquis Sheng didn't like the intrigues of the royal family, and now he was even more reluctant to ask him to accept the emperor's grandson as his disciple. The purpose of going out this time was to find a quiet and remote place to retire, and he refused directly.
At Feng Yuanchen's request, he directly asked the secret guards to escort him back to Zhuangzi.
For a long time after that, Mr. Sheng sent people around to inquire about the owner of the land. He wanted to buy it and build a small courtyard to live in his old age. Until one day, His Majesty left him behind after the morning court and took Feng Yuanchen with him.
arrived in front of him.
Only then did he realize that the piece of land he was interested in was a dowry item from Feng Yuanchen's mother and concubine. Feng Yuanchen was willing to use the land deed from his mother and concubine in exchange for the favor of Lord Sheng. Who knew that Lord Sheng didn't know how to do it?
Impressed, he walked out of the emperor's palace directly, and His Majesty was helpless.
Until the Celestial Master's prophecy appeared, the Celestial Master calculated that he would have a granddaughter, and this granddaughter was a goddess who came to earth, different from their time, and would become the future queen of the Shang Zhou Dynasty.
Although he thought these were all nonsense, the Shang Zhou Dynasty had always believed in the Heavenly Master from ancient times to the present. Even every emperor who ascended the throne or established a prince had clear instructions.
Just when His Majesty told Mr. Sheng the prophecy of the Celestial Master, he also discovered that his daughter-in-law was pregnant and was still a girl.
Finally, he thought over and over again and accepted Feng Yuanchen as his disciple. He thought that if his granddaughter was really the goddess predicted by the heavenly master, then she would not be able to escape her own fate, but he could cultivate an excellent husband for her.
The old Marquis Sheng came to Feng Yuanchen today to tell him something important: "Find two people from your Yuchen Palace to be your personal maids, and then you will live in Chuanxiang Garden starting from tomorrow."
"Live here?" Feng Yuanchen was a little confused.
"Yes, I will teach you something new starting tomorrow. Are you interested?"
Feng Yuanchen was a little excited in his heart. He knew that the master still had many unknown secrets, but he also remembered what the master said, "Happiness and anger should not be expressed in color, and likes and dislikes should not be expressed in words." So he suppressed his excitement and said
The old Marquis said: "Of course, I will bring them over tomorrow morning."
Lord Sheng looked at his face and nodded with admiration: "Well, there's no rush. I need you to bring your secret guards and show up here together tomorrow."
"Yes, master." Although Feng Yuanchen didn't know why the master needed his secret guard to appear with him, he agreed without hesitation.
The secret guards hiding outside were also very curious when they heard what the old marquis said. They looked at each other but did not make any sound.
"Very good, you can take these to your secret guards first." The old Marquis took out a glass bottle from his sleeve and filled it with some dark brown pills: "Take it when you get back. It will feel a little uncomfortable, but bear with it.
Forbearance will have unexpected effects."
Feng Yuanchen took the glass bottle handed over by his master with both hands and placed it directly next to his chest.
At this time, the old Marquis pointed to a box on the table: "This is yours, take it now."
Feng Yuanchen nodded. He walked over and picked up the box on the table and smelled a very fresh smell. Just smelling this smell made his whole body feel extremely comfortable.
He opened the box and a green pill appeared in front of him. He picked up the pill and swallowed it without hesitation and it melted in his mouth.
"Go back! I'll come over tomorrow. You don't need to bring anything. I have it all here." After the old Marquis finished speaking, Feng Yuanchen saluted and left.
The journey back was not far, but Feng Yuanchen still took twice as long as he came here because the pills had started to take effect when he left the gate of Sichuan Xiangyuan. The sweat all over his body had soaked his clothes because of the pain.
The delicate facial features began to become a little distorted, and the pair of strange eyes became a little strange against the backdrop of the night.
"Master, are you okay?" Bu Xing looked at his master worriedly.
"I'm fine, I'll be fine after a while." Feng Yuanchen sat on the ground, panting and sweating, and he fainted due to the intensification of pain.
The secret guards appeared one after another and looked at their master worriedly, but no one made a sound. They really didn't know what to do. In the end, Shi Wu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Old Marquis Bu Xing gave this to my master.
Is the medicine okay?"
"No, the old Marquis will not do this." Bu Xing said firmly to Shi Wu.
"Then Master, what's going on?" Shi Wu was a little anxious, seeing his Master lying on the ground shrinking into a ball due to pain, but he was helpless.
Bu Xing knew that everyone was worried about his master, but as the leader of Feng Yuanchen's secret guards, he could only unconditionally trust the people his master trusted: "Have you forgotten what the old Marquis said just now?"
"I haven't forgotten, but I never said that the master would faint."
"Okay, let's wait, maybe the master will wake up soon." Bu Xing calmed everyone down, observing Feng Yuanchen's every move: "Look! The master doesn't sweat anymore."
