Chapter 298 Tantai Feng
As Tantai Mingyue was annoyed, a mighty general in a black-scale armor approached, and asked in a low voice, “Second Princess, are you also for that young female doctor?”
When Tantai Mingyue saw him, a feeling of strangeness appeared on her face, and she exclaimed, “Commander Xu, why are you here?”
Commander Xu heard the words and was silent for a moment before he said, “Second Princess misunderstands me. We have been guarding the Lady and have not slacked off all the time.”
Tantai Mingyue heard the words and was extremely surprised, because Commander Xu was not the leader of the general forbidden guards, but led the army representing the most sublime underground force of Father which was the foundation of Tantai Family.
Black-scale Guards!
Now, Commander Xu, who should guard the stability of the country, had been guarding her mother for more than ten years!
Didn’t it mean that it was not the Empress but her mother in the position of the hostess in Tantai Family?
There was a trace of warmth in the eyes of Tantai Mingyue. Although she knew that Father had a deep affection for her mother and he had been seeking medical treatment for her mother for more than ten years, she did not expect that Father’s affection for her mother could reach such a degree.
“Second Princess, it is a top-secret mission. Don’t tell anyone else, including your brother.”
Not finis.h.i.+ng his words, Commander Xu looked at the closed door of courtyard indifferently and said, “If I met Forth Prince in the early days, maybe I would scruple. But now… if he was not the Lady’s natural son, I would kill him for what he did today!”
Commander Xu smiled coldly. Obviously, the purpose of Tantai Yu was to use this way to let the girl enter the palace secretly!
Tantai Yu’s talent was far worse than that of Tantai Mingyue. So, he was more partial to Tantai Mingyue. After seeing Tantai Yu’s selfishness now, he was even unhappier.
Tantai Mingyue didn’t expect that Commander Xu spoke so directly, therefore, her face was unnatural for a moment. After all, Tantai Yu was her closest brother. Even if she disliked Su Li very much, she had to say something for them at this moment,
“This is a misunderstanding, Commander Xu. Su Li is not an ignorant person, but the best disciple of the miracle-working doctor Qi. Her talent for medicine from childhood was more excellent than that of ordinary people. Now, after so many years, maybe she is even better than her master. Mother has been in a coma for many years, and probably my younger brother is so anxious that he…”
Tantai Mingyue’s words were reasonable. Finally, Commander Xu’s face was relieved and he said slowly, “Since Second Princess said so, I believe Forth Prince this time.”
“Thank you, Commander Xu.”
“Second Princess, you are welcome.”
After that, Tantai Mingyue glanced at the still door with a flash of resignation in her eyes, and walked away.
If there weren’t enough reasons, even she couldn’t enter this door. She had intended to stop them before Tantai Yu entered, but it was a pity that she was a little late.
—
At the moment, something happened in the courtyard inside the black wall.
Su Li followed Tantai Yu alone through the layers of guards and eventually came to a chamber exuding a faint scent of medicine. Fang Yuan and Yun Yi were stopped early by the layers of guards.
“This is the place where my mother rests. Just go in. Anyway, it’s necessary to pretend for a while. Later, I will take you to see my Father.”
Tantai Yu secretly transmitted the sound to Su Li. Su Li nodded gently, and without hesitation, she opened the sheer curtain and entered the inner chamber.
Seeing Su Li coming in, a maid in the palace couldn’t help but be surprised. But obviously, the maid had been well-trained and did not make any drastic actions. She walked to Su Li lightly, and saluted,
“Doctor, you have two hours for the diagnosis and treatment, and then I will take care of the Lady.”
Su Li made a sound of “H’m” and said quietly, “You can leave now. I don’t want to be disturbed by outsiders when I treat patients.”
The palace maid gave a salute and left the inner hall without staying. In the past years, the various miracle-working doctors who came to see Concubine had similar requirements, so, she had long been not surprised.
After the maid left, the inner hall was completely quiet, except for the breeze coming through the window from time to time, which caused a sound.
In the middle of the inner hall, a woman in an imperial costume who looked about 27 or 28 was quietly sleeping on the luxurious soft bed with sheer curtains. Calculating it, Concubine Yin was over forty years old… Age did not leave any trace on her face.
“Maybe she mistakenly ate a magic fruit that is able to retain youthful looks, so, she can’t wake up…”
Thinking of this, Su Li walked to the bed and put her fingertips gently on Concubine Yin’s wrist.
In a moment, a strange sensation rose from the bottom of Su Li’s heart!
Su Li’s eyes just closed opened suddenly with a shock.
Clear!
Clearer than ever!
She could sense all the changes in Concubine Yin’s body, from the bones to the tendons and vessels, and even the sound of blood flowing in the blood vessels. As long as she wanted to listen, the sound would be amplified immediately!
“Why? I have recovered a lot of memory, and I’m sure I have never seen her before!” Su Li was shocked and silent. When she was thinking, her sensation force had reached Concubine Yin’s awareness sea.
It was… a boundless gray. A depressing touch followed the sensation of psychic awareness to pa.s.s into Su Li’s body, and immediately made her feel unprecedented pressure.
“Suppression… force?”
Su Li was bewildered for a moment, and suddenly said a word she didn’t understand. When the word was spoken out of her mouth, she suddenly awakened. Then she frowned tightly, and her thoughts diverged.
Suppression force?
It was unfamiliar but familiar because her memory did not have any information about it, but… Su Li guessed that it was mostly because of the memory brought by neverland.
“Did that secret method allow me to have some memory of the Reincarnation Mirror?”
Su Li’s thoughts changed quickly, and she quickly figured out a lot of doubts. Then she looked at Concubine Yin differently instantly.
Suppression!
What kind of things required the Reincarnation Mirror to suppress?!
The answer seemed to be coming…
Su Li’s heartbeat speeded up, watching the beautiful woman breathing evenly and quietly on the bed, trying to confirm her thoughts. Suddenly, a deep and thick voice came from the hall,
“Foreigner, your guess is right. Ge is not a native creature of the neverland.”
“Who is it?!”
This voice came too suddenly, and just rang in Su Li’s ears. Su Li’s pupils suddenly contracted and she turned away suddenly. Immediately, she saw that a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, with a beard and a stout figure, was standing not far behind. According to the outline of his face, it was not difficult to see that when he was young, he must have been a very handsome man.
As Su Li saw the golden dragon embroidered in the yellow robe, her eyes slightly dimmed. She was silent for a moment and said, “Tantai Feng?”
The middle-aged man laughed after hearing this, “In this life, you are the first one to speak my name directly. However, as the half owner of the Reincarnation Mirror, you have this qualification.”Read more chapter on v ip novel. com
Su Li’s eyes dimmed and she laughed at herself, “What kind of owner am I? Senior Tantai, do not make fun of me.”
“Since you call me Senior, it seems that you have guessed my ident.i.ty. Did that little girl Jing Xin tell you?”
The middle-aged man revealed a lot of secrets in one sentence, which made Su Li more certain of his ident.i.ty, and she immediately nodded, “Senior is one of the ancient existences in the neverland just like the Old Ancestor of the Xiaoshen Palace. Am I right?”
“Xiaoshen Palace?”
Tantai Feng shocked for a while after hearing these two words, and he seemed to think of someone. He smiled lightly, “That old thing dares to call himself as G.o.d? He was so bold.”
Su Li was shocked after hearing this. It could be known from Tantai Feng’s words that he seemed to disdain the Old Ancestor of the Xiaoshen Palace.
“Little girl, you are in a bad situation right now, and you seem to aim at me. Why not… make a deal with me.”
Su Li frowned, saying respectfully, “I would like to hear the details.”
Tantai Feng smiled. He waved and made two chairs come to him. Then he greeted Su Li to sit down. His eyes fell on Concubine Yin with a touch of deep affection flas.h.i.+ng on his face,
“Use your half-owner’s authority to release my wife from being suppressed by the neverland. Make sure at least we can live normally in the neverland. If so, I will agree to all your requests.”
Hearing these words, Su Li immediately weighed them up. When she checked Concubine Yin just now, she discovered that if she used the secret method to awaken Concubine Yin, it would be just a matter of thought, and the consumption of foundation would be far less than that fighting with people.
However, since seeing an ancient existence, her mind immediately revived, and she was no longer satisfied with her previous goals.
Thinking for a moment, Su Li raised her head and looked directly at Tantai Feng.
“Senior, I agree with your request, and I… I want you to fight for me if necessary!”
After Tantai Feng heard the words, his face became cold. He smiled lightly, “Little girl, I don’t believe that you don’t know the price of fighting in the neverland. Or did that old guy mirror spirit send you to swagger around?”
With the change of Tantai Feng’s mood, Su Li immediately felt a current of pressure. With her special state now, she felt a trace of… deep hatred from it!
The chaotic thoughts flashed through her mind. Su Li felt more and more suffocating pressure and had to stop thinking. She could only say, “Senior, I don’t understand what you mean, and isn’t mirror spirit and Jing Xin the same person? You said she is a little girl just now, but why do you say she is an old guy?”
“It seems that you really don’t understand.”
Tantai Feng converged the leaked breath in time, took a deep glance at Su Li, and said, “I forget you are just a residual soul that is about to die. I am afraid the old guy doesn’t even want to see you.”
Residual soul.
Su Li was silent. Yes, she couldn’t return to the real world, and would dissipate at a certain moment. That was just a soul with a trace of memory.
But even so, she still wanted to figure out the secret hidden in the Reincarnation Mirror.
Seeing this, Tantai Feng suddenly laughed. Finally, he put away the last tentative thought, and sighed, “Little girl, if that little girl Jing Xin was the real mirror spirit, how could she suppress lots of ancient existences? She was just the real mirror spirit’s chosen agent for making fun.”
Su Li’s heart fluttered and she asked without thinking, “What will happen to her if the real mirror spirit loses interest?”
Tantai Feng glanced at her face with gloom that it seemed to be serious, and could not help wondering, “Under the circ.u.mstances, do you still have time to care about others?”
