Chapter 1874 Take Him Away
Only then did I realize why Zhou Ruan, despite being a prince, presented himself as a princess.
I doubt anyone would have guessed that this was the reason.
But why would Uncle Ghost tell him this?
“Didn’t you just say that the royal family has been in great turmoil recently?” Young Master Yu glanced at him and said, “I’m telling you this now because the pregnant woman your aunt met who passed through here back then was the birth mother of Princess Consort Jin, Cui Liyue.”
what?
Yu Xu was even more shocked.
"Back then, your aunt had just heard the news of being selected to enter the palace, but hadn't officially entered yet. A few years later, I don't remember exactly which year, she came to my grave and said that the Empress treated her well, and that after the Empress left the palace, she met a young lady who seemed to be the same person from back then."
"It was around that time that I learned that the woman's name was Cui Liyue. Why did I pay attention to her? Because Cui Liyue came from Nanzhao, and your Aunt Shuangye also married into Nanzhao."
Mentioning Yu Shuangye, Young Master Yu turned to look at his tombstone, his expression somewhat tender as he gazed at the two orchid leaves carved in the inscription by the person who erected the tombstone.
He and Yu Shuangye are twins.
He was born to Lord Yu's concubine.
He was Consort Yu's half-brother.
The Yu family treated the brother and sister well in the past, and they also helped when their birth mother had an accident.
Yu Shuangye initially took a fancy to a man from Nanzhao and insisted on marrying him. The Yu family also gave her a generous dowry.
That's why Young Master Yu left behind that jade whistle.
As for how he died? He no longer wants to think about it. However, he actually obtained a jade carving from the things that Cui Liyue dropped back then. The jade carving buried in his grave was able to help him with his cultivation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to become a ghost cultivator now.
However, he won't tell anyone about this.
Because Cui Liyue possessed so many valuable items back then, when Yu Shuangye married into Nanzhao, Young Master Yu told her to thoroughly investigate Cui Liyue once she arrived in Nanzhao.
Those things must have been given to Cui Liyue by someone else. That person must be very powerful. If you can find that person after you go to Nanzhao, you should try to get close to them. You should be able to get a lot of benefits from it.
However, Yu Shuangye disappeared without a trace after going to Nanzhao.
Young Master Yu originally thought that if she went to Nanzhao, she could find the person who gave Cui Liyue so many good things, and then she would be able to send a message back, or find some little devil to deliver the message to him.
He waited and waited, but never received any news from Yu Shuangye.
He benefited from that jade carving and wanted to continue cultivating here, but he couldn't easily leave.
The jade carving also fell into the crack when the mountain forest and riverbed developed hidden fissures, so he couldn't leave either, and he was also concerned about the cracks in the ground here.
He actually had some hope for Zhou Ruan before, thinking that once he regained his manhood, he could see if he could seize power and help him in any way he could.
The talisman was supposed to last for a few years at most, but after it expired, Consort Yu and Zhou Ruan still didn't take any action. They probably really missed the best opportunity.
It seems that Zhou Ruan has lost his advantage and his hope.
He then decided to leave.
Why not go to Nanzhao and see if there's an opportunity?
It was precisely because Yu Xu needed to take him along that Young Master Yu told Yu Xu all these things.
He wanted to leave.
Looking at the capital now, it seems that its fortunes have risen.
He didn't know what the outcome would be if he stayed here. Besides, he missed Futaba terribly, so he should go and find her.
“You can’t go back to the capital now, and you can’t go back to the Yu family.” Young Master Yu glanced at Yu Xu again. “If you go back now, you’ll die.”
"Then what should I do?"
I am filled with anxiety.
"Didn't I tell you? Go to Nanzhao. As long as you take me with you, I will protect you from all dangers and pursuers. Once you get to Nanzhao, you don't have to worry about not surviving. With me here, it will be no problem for you to become wealthy and establish yourself in the local area within a few years."
Yu Xu listened to his words and was moved.
"What about my parents...?"
"Let's see what fate has in store for them," Young Master Yu said calmly. "Besides, your departure now will leave an heir for the Yu family, and your parents will probably be even happier."
Yu Xu never wanted to go back. He was a selfish and cowardly person, and now that Young Master Yu was supporting him, he was even more determined.
"Okay, then I'll go to Nanzhao."
He looked at Young Master Yu, "Then, how should I take you with me?"
Young Master Yu glanced at the sky and said, "In half an hour, you will dig up my grave and find a jade pendant inside. It was something I always carried with me."
"Take a small sachet, fill it with a little soil from the grave, and take it with you. Leave this place immediately, and I can go with you."
"Digging...digging up a grave?" Upon hearing this, Yu Xu hesitated and became somewhat worried. "Won't something bad happen?"
"Dig if I tell you to. Unless you want to leave on your own. But if you leave on your own, I can't guarantee what will happen later."
Yu still decided to dig up the grave.
Young Master Yu then went to lure away the other ghosts in the mountains and forests.
After the drowned ghost left, those ghosts came to tell him about this many times, hoping that the prince would send someone to explore the mountains and forests and protect their village.
That's why Young Master Yu wanted to leave even more.
If the Crown Prince really sends someone, it's hard to say what will happen at his grave, or whether his true identity will be discovered.
The ghosts were led away, and Yu Xu, seeing the time, quickly dug up the grave.
After doing as the other party said, he didn't bother to fill the grave back in and quickly left.
In the capital, the Crown Prince had already sent men to surround the Yu family.
The officials only discovered that Yu Xu was missing after they had taken a headcount of the Yu family.
By the time they searched the city again and guarded the city gates, Yu Xu had already left.
Someone found Yuan Jinyi's house, and Yuan Jinyi did not lie. He only said that Yu Xu was indeed originally with him, but he ran away after a servant of the Yu family came to inform him.
The next morning at court, the Crown Prince was noticeably more imposing, and had Zhou Ruan brought to the main hall.
Zhou Ruan was still young. Although he had a ghost uncle secretly supporting and helping him in the past, and the Yu family was also secretly developing their power, he was exposed too quickly this time and ran into the hands of the Prince of Jin. The Prince of Jin caught him off guard.
The crown prince's abilities and strength also exceeded his expectations, and the emperor's coma was something he never expected.
Looking back now, Zhou Ruan feels that it was just bad luck that he was born at the wrong time and in the wrong place. It seems that fate was against him and was determined to make things difficult for him.
In front of all the officials, the Crown Prince convicted him and Consort Yu of deceiving the Emperor.
They said they originally wanted to wait for the emperor to wake up, but the emperor didn't wake up and there was nothing they could do.
