Chapter 607 The Wedding Ceremony
"Of course!" Yin Yueling said proudly, "Let me correct you, it's not that I'm a lucky star, it's that I'm amazing!"
Lu Yangyang nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, you're the best! I'll go tell them, and we'll go to the palace now!"
Based on the information she had, Lu Yangyang guessed that the Crown Prince wanted to use the war in Yuechuan Kingdom to seize military power in the southwest, but there were still many things she didn't understand. If she could meet Zong Que, that would be wonderful!
Moreover, if you enter the Moon River Palace and meet the Moon River King, you can find an opportunity to tell her about the Crown Prince's intention to start a war. If the Moon River King cooperates, perhaps this war can be stopped!
Lu Yangyang couldn't wait to see Zong Que right now!
Watching Lu Yangyang's hurried and energetic demeanor, Yin Yueling muttered curiously, "It's really strange. Neither Miao Jiang nor Yuechuan Kingdom has anything to do with her. Is she really that happy to be able to help?"
Yin Yueling didn't understand, but she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
Lu Yangyang returned quickly, and Yin Yueling led her to the waiting Yuechuan Palace servants, and they entered the palace together.
It was already evening when they arrived at the Yuechuan Palace. Yin Yueling told the palace servants and then led Lu Yangyang to her resting place: "I'll be staying in a side hall of the Yuechuan King for now. It's very close to the King. The Yuechuan Palace is too big. I don't know where Mingruo lives yet. Let me tell you, this place is very strange. There are many strange things here. If I'm not here, you must be careful and not get into any trouble. After I report to the Yuechuan King, I will take you to see her."
Although Yin Yueling called King Yuechuan "Master," she wasn't stupid. She had only just arrived in Yuechuan Kingdom, and in this palace, the only people she could command were a few palace servants who did odd jobs. Moreover, every time she tried to go out, those servants would stop her in time to prevent her from wandering around.
Lu Yangyang grabbed Yin Yueling's hand and whispered, "Could you find out where Mingruo lives? I have something very important to ask him."
Once you see Mingruo, you will be able to see Zongque.
"No problem." Yin Yueling told Lu Yangyang to wait for her there while she went to find a palace servant to inquire about Mingruo's residence.
Just then, a rapid bell rang outside, and the palace servants quickly apologized to Yin Yueling: "Holy Maiden, from now on you cannot go out. Please stay in the palace and wait."
Yin Yueling asked, puzzled, "What happened?"
"The elders have urgently summoned the royal family for a meeting, and the king must also attend. Anyone who is not a member of the royal family must recuse themselves. Under no circumstances should they be discovered moving around in the palace, or the consequences will be severe," the palace servant warned cautiously.
"The consequences are serious? Why?" Yin Yueling asked curiously. It was just a meeting, and they had already avoided it. Why couldn't they even move around in the palace? What kind of bizarre rule was this?
The palace attendant quickly shook his head: "In short, from now on, you must stay in the main hall."
Yin Yueling had to stop mid-question, asking, "And what about you?"
"All palace servants must wait at the palace gate, ready to be dispatched at any time, until the meeting concludes," the palace servant replied.
Yin Yueling was dumbfounded, but she had no choice but to go back and tell Lu Yangyang about it.
"This Yuechuan Royal Palace has so many rules?" Lu Yangyang also found it unbelievable. Even in the Dazhao Royal Palace, there was no rule that said the palace servants of other palaces could not go out when the emperor was discussing matters with his court officials.
But since things have come to this, all we can do is wait and see.
The two of them were huddled in the room when Lu Yangyang asked Yin Yueling, "What kind of person do you think King Yuechuan is?"
Yin Yueling tilted her head and thought for a long time: "I think she is quite peaceful, but it seems that no one in Yuechuan Palace dares to talk about her. The palace servants here are all exceptionally obedient. Every day, apart from doing their work, they are like invisible people and don't say a word more than necessary."
Therefore, Yin Yueling did not find out any information about King Yuechuan from the palace servants.
"It seems there are quite a few rules in the Yuechuan Palace." Lu Yangyang sighed. "Never mind, let's wait and see what they're going to discuss."
Yin Yueling shook her head, then fiddled with her Gu worms: "But in the past two days, King Yuechuan has taught me many new things, things I never learned when I was in Miao territory. I really hope I can stay by her side for a while longer, then I'm sure I can learn even more."
Lu Yangyang squatted down to the side, watching her fiddle with it, occasionally asking a few questions.
After an unknown amount of time, a noise suddenly came from the doorway. A palace servant stood outside the door and reported, "Your Majesty, Steward Jiang requests your presence."
"Manager Jiang?" Yin Yueling muttered in surprise, "Didn't she leave after bringing me here? Why is she suddenly looking for me?"
"I'll go take a look." Yin Yueling stood up.
Lu Yangyang also stood up: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Yin Yueling shook her head: "Wait for me here, I'll go ask and come right back."
Yin Yueling followed the palace servants out. Reaching the entrance of the main hall, she was about to speak when she realized that it wasn't just Steward Jiang alone. Behind him followed about a dozen attendants dressed in white, all with their heads bowed and expressionless. For some reason, Yin Yueling instinctively felt that these people were up to no good.
"Yue Ling, the elder requests your presence." Steward Jiang looked at Yin Yue Ling, but the moment she looked at her, the servants behind her also turned their gazes to Yin Yue Ling.
In that instant, Yin Yueling felt as if she were entangled in countless invisible nets, and for a moment, she forgot how to react.
"I..." She opened her mouth to say one word, but it was as if her throat was being choked, and she could no longer make a sound.
Manager Jiang said expressionlessly, "Please."
Yin Yueling bit her lip, unable to make a sound or move. She hadn't seen clearly how those people attacked, or who these servants were. And Manager Jiang, who was perfectly fine a moment ago, was now acting like a completely different person.
As Yin Yueling thought this, her body moved forward uncontrollably, like a puppet on strings. The servants who had been following Steward Jiang had somehow surrounded her.
It must have been these people who did it!
Before she had gone far, Yin Yueling was surprised to see Ming Ruo, who had been brought along just like her.
No, what is going on?
Yin Yueling tried to give Mingruo a wink, but Mingruo seemed to have lost her soul and didn't react at all!
Oh no, could it be that I've been cursed?
Soon, the two were led to a spacious hall. Inside the hall was a circular platform, intricately carved with patterns, around which sat a group of people. Yin Yueling looked up and saw that King Yuechuan was seated at the very top.
Sitting below King Yuechuan was an elderly man with cloudy eyes who looked as if he were about to be buried.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, the old man looked at her, and in that instant, Yin Yueling felt as if she were being entangled by a poisonous snake.
"I've heard that the Miao Holy Maiden has an extremely special bloodline talent, and now that she has found the descendant of Young Master Qi, it seems that this is the arrangement of the Gu God. Let's hold a grand wedding ceremony for them during the sacrificial ceremony."
