Chapter 449: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Ninety-Nine)

The grievances and subsequent situations between Guo Hui, Nanny He, Yang Zhenzhen, and Gao Shi will only be known much later.

A few months or even years later, after Cui Li learned about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion from storytellers, Han Tong and others, he also gradually learned some gossip in the capital. Among them, the affairs of Geng Feiluan in the Geng Mansion made Cui Li laugh again.

Master Geng was stripped of his baronial title, and Geng Feiluan was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Liang. His wounds were poisoned by his resentful concubines and half-brothers, so that even after his wounds healed, he had to stay in bed most of the time.

After learning from his servants that Gong Xue, the daughter of the Vice Minister of War, whom he looked down upon before, was now married to the third place winner in the imperial examination, he was extremely furious. He felt that his woman had betrayed him, so he ran to the outside of the third place winner's house and acted wildly. He was beaten by people sent by Vice Minister of War Gong Yan and left in embarrassment.

After returning to the Geng Mansion, Master Geng taught Geng Feiluan a lesson. After being offended, Geng Feiluan favored a maid and became depressed all day long. Later, he became addicted to women and died of syphilis. Master Geng despised him and buried him wrapped in a straw mat, and did not allow him to enter the ancestral tomb.

Ji Wei, the woman he had been thinking about, had already forgotten him. She received the letter Geng Feiluan had sent her, but she burned it without even reading it. When Ji Wei learned that this person had died, she felt unlucky that she had ever been with such a loser.

And these gossips have come to an end, so let’s not talk about them anymore for now.

Cui Li is now preparing to find a place to give birth.

When the sun was high in the sky and the ground was gradually drying up, Cui Li and others had quietly left the ruined temple.

On the way, Cui Li suddenly thought of something. The Duke Yang's Mansion was almost wiped out, so why was there no sign of the Second Master Yang?

Qiqi was also puzzled and deliberately flipped through the fragments of the story she had received. "Uh... after Madam Yang Er died, Master Yang Er became a Taoist priest and didn't return to the capital for several years. When the tragedy happened to his family, he was still traveling at sea. He even took Qing Yangzi as his master."

Okay, this is simply ignoring the secular world. Cui Li sighed. She had to admit that although her senior brother Qing Yangzi did have some abilities, this disciple was...

Because this world has some spiritual energy, Taoism can indeed be practiced. Some evil ways deceive the people, making them worship them as gods, and even dedicate their own children to the immortal masters.

We really need Taoist priests who are truly capable and virtuous to travel around the country to prevent these evil ways from bringing harm to the people.

Witchcraft was prevalent in the Ji State, and witch culture was used by the Ji State royal family and the witch tribe as a tool to fool the people and maintain rule.

For so many years, the Ji Kingdom relied on sorcery to maintain its combat power. With the decline of spiritual energy, the threshold for performing some spells increased, making them no longer easy to perform. Hence, sacrifices were resorted to, and blood formations were used to achieve their goals. With such carnage becoming increasingly severe, how could Heaven tolerate the long-term survival of the Ji Kingdom?

She thought of the Zhuyou technique used by Qi Xingsheng. The truly powerful Zhuyou technique could really control a person's mind. In the secret history of the Liang royal family, there was a generation of Liang emperors who were almost controlled by Qi's concubine and were about to pass the throne to Qi's son during the morning court session. Later, when the truth was revealed by the national teacher, the palace was flooded with blood.

Speaking of the Imperial Master, Cui Li thought of the old man in his memory. He wondered where he was now?

She originally only thought of the Imperial Master, but who could have imagined that at noon the next day after leaving the dilapidated temple, she would meet the Imperial Master disguised as a beggar.

At that time, Cui Li had already disguised herself as a woman of average appearance and was sitting in the lobby to have a meal. A beggar suddenly came forward to beg, and Han Zhao had already stood up, ready to give the beggar money to send him away.

The beggar easily avoided Han Zhao's obstruction and went straight to Cui Li. Cui Li looked up and met the beggar's eyes. Although they were both in disguise, their eyes did not hide their feelings. When they found that the other party recognized them, they were both a little shocked.

"You, why are you here? Didn't Qingyangzi say you were captured? I was just about to set off to find you."

"Li'er faked her own death and escaped during the chaos. Do you like this look?"

The old beggar was a little embarrassed and ran out without saying a word.

The waiter came out with a tray of food and saw the old beggar running away. He apologized, "I was busy and didn't notice him coming in. I hope I didn't disturb you."

Cui Li shook her head and said, "It's okay. Do you know him?"

The waiter put down the plate and said, "I've seen him a few times. Don't worry, my friend. This Taoist priest is just bored and likes to change his appearance every day. He's not a real beggar. He won't pester you for money, but he is quite capable. He can catch ghosts and tell fortunes."
