Chapter 959 Lion Eyes
Zhou Shiyue read the letter and handed it to Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling took it and took a look. There was only one sentence in it, and he could see it clearly at a glance.
Seeing Mr. Qiu standing aside waiting for them to finish reading the letter, Zhou Shiyue apologized insincerely.
"I'm sorry, but this piece of paper is sitting on the table next to me. It's hard not to see it."
That was indeed the case. The letter was just unfolded and placed there. He thought that Mr. Qiu had deliberately let them see it.
"I'm sorry that the things are not packed properly, Prince and Miss Lu will be embarrassed."
Mr. Qiu said quickly, "However, it just so happens that I want to talk to the prince and Miss Lu about this matter and the person who decided on this letter."
"Then go ahead and speak. The King is listening."
Mr. Qiu immediately described Hua Mudan.
Just now he was actually a little hesitant about whether or not to tell King Jin about the matters of the third and fourth brothers.
This is ultimately the Qiu family's trouble, and making it known will bring disgrace to the Qiu family.
However, if he didn't tell others, Mr. Qiu was not sure whether he could find other people to help deal with these strange things.
In Subei, there was faint evidence of wind and thunder gathering.
Although they still couldn't fully figure out what was going on and who they were, Mr. Qiu had a hunch that the Prince of Jin happened to come to Subei at this time, and it was the time for them to express their stance.
If they had taken a step late, the Qiu family would have most likely fallen into the abyss.
Flowers are not a hundred days of red.
Originally, his elder brother had been guarding Subei for so many years, and it was about time for some ups and downs.
People must be cautious at every stage in their lives.
Standing at a crossroads, you have to make a choice.
If it is right, it may be stable for another ten years. If it is wrong, everything may be overturned at any time.
"I really think this Madam Hua is very weird."
Master Qiu had already made his choice in his mind, so he told everyone about the recent behavior of the Third and Fourth Masters.
He thought about it and even said that he had dreamed about the emperor.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I dreamed of the Emperor a few days ago. Maybe the Emperor knew that my Qiu family has always been loyal and didn't want to see the Qiu family being harmed, so he came to remind me in my dream..."
Now that he thinks about it, he feels that this possibility exists.
His eldest brother is the most loyal to the emperor.
To the current emperor...
Ahem. He didn't dare to say this. Because when the emperor ascended the throne, his elder brother said this to him privately -
The new emperor was still a little soft-tempered and had a superficial understanding of state affairs. After all, he was not as good as the emperor emeritus.
He was a little worried at the time that the new emperor would not be able to maintain the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For this reason, I am still a little worried.
If you really say such words, it would be a great rebellion.
Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows and said "oh" in surprise.
"My father actually appeared in your dream? This is really surprising."
The emperor in the jade pendant——
Good boy, is this how you pretend?
Did you often pretend in front of him before?
"He has never appeared in my dreams. What did he say?"
Mr. Qiu said quickly, "The Emperor said that something was wrong with our Qiu Mansion, and the most abnormal thing was a pavilion in the backyard. But after waking up, I asked the servants to check it out, but they didn't find anything wrong."
Having said that, Mr. Qiu looked at Lu Zhaoling.
Lu Zhaoling did not disappoint him, she stood up.
"Really? Then I wonder if Mr. Qiu can take us to have a look? I'm also very curious."
Mr. Qiu said quickly, "Why not? I'm just afraid that it will offend the prince and Miss Lu..."
He had asked someone to inquire about it, and heard that Miss Lu and her fellow apprentices had also caused a big commotion in the southwest military camp.
News also came from the capital, and it was said that Miss Lu was the successor of the No. 1 Xuanmen back then.
If they are really the descendants of the First Xuanmen, then their cultivation must be very high.
After thinking it over, Mr. Qiu felt that he had figured it out. A Miss Lu with such a background could be so valued by King Jin, so she must have something extraordinary.
This extraordinary ability must be the mysterious technique.
He couldn't wait to invite Lu Zhaoling and others to take a look around the house and help him see what problems there were in the mansion.
"Then let's go now and take a look."
Lu Zhaoling did not delay either.
Master Qiu personally led them to the lake.
Along the way, Lu Zhaoling saw a few children secretly following them, but she didn't care.
The Qiu family has many descendants.
When she came over, she still hadn't noticed anything wrong.
All the way to the Nine-Curve Bridge.
When the retired emperor had appeared in his dream before, Lu Zhaoling noticed that something was wrong with the Nine-Turn Bridge.
Now she was standing at the bridge head, and she discovered that there were two lion heads tied with red paper and silk cloth on the stone railings at the bridge head.
It may be placed at the end of the bridge for decoration, or it may have some meaning, to stabilize the bridge and prevent it from collapsing easily.
The eyes of the two lion heads were cut from red cloth with black beads sewn in the middle.
She leaned in to take a closer look.
Mr. Qiu's eyes followed her closely.
"Miss Lu, is there anything wrong with this?"
"What are these two beads?"
"It is said to be black agate." said Mr. Qiu.
This is a custom here, but not everyone uses it. It's just that their Nine-Curve Bridge is a bit long, so they asked someone to make a pair of lion heads and tie them here.
"If this pair of lion heads become old and dirty due to wind and rain, they will be replaced with new ones. We made them custom-made from an old craftsman. The red silk underneath is embroidered with the word Qiu, and it is exclusively used by the Qiu family."
Mr. Qiu added, "The black agate is also specially selected with the best quality to be used as the finishing touch."
Is there something wrong?
After he finished speaking, Lu Zhaoling stood up and said, "Have someone take them down. Although these two are indeed black agate, they have been processed and have an evil aura."
"what?"
Mr. Qiu was shocked.
An evil spirit?
"Do not believe?"
Lu Zhaoling glanced at him and said, "Come closer, I'll let you see clearly."
"No... no need."
Mr. Qiu wanted to say, just believe it.
However, Zhou Shiyue spoke up, "If I tell you to get close, then get close. How can you believe it if you don't see it with your own eyes?"
Although he didn't know what he could see if he looked so close, but Lu Er had said that he wanted to let Qiu Lao Er see it, so he had to let him take a good look.
He felt that it must not be a good experience.
Mr. Qiu had no choice but to move closer, bending over. Lu Zhaoling wiped her hand in front of his eyes.
Strangely enough, when her hand lightly brushed past him, Mr. Qiu seemed to feel a warm air flow across his eyelids. But Lu Zhaoling didn't touch him at all.
"Okay, now look into the lion's eyes," said Lu Zhaoling.
Mr. Qiu looked intently at the eyes of one of the lion heads.
