Chapter 179: The Secret of the Mysterious Royal Cat
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
King Lin hurriedly followed her frightened eyes and saw a black cat squatting on the eaves of the palace where she was looking.
"It's just a black cat, what's the problem?"
King Lin's eyes were full of confusion, but he quickly calmed down the confusion in his eyes.
"Look at the vast expanse of lush flowers, plants and trees that our palace looks out on. It is inevitable that there will be some wild cats. Moreover, our palace has a long history. Many concubines and palace officials like to keep cats, so it is not surprising!"
Although Xia Lingyue gradually put away her surprised look, she remembered that she had seen such a black cat in Xiahou Mansion, so she began to ask King Lin about the legends about black cats.
"I heard that black cats are unlucky things, but I heard that black cats ward off evil spirits. I don't know if this is right?"
Xia Lingyue suddenly remembered the folk rumors that Granny Lin had said.
"Black cats usually take the initiative to go to unclean places to suppress the existence of evil spirits, so black cats always appear in places where evil spirits are relatively strong. Because of this, people in the world mistakenly think that encountering a black cat is a serious evil. In fact, if there is a serious evil in the house,
Raising a black cat can greatly ward off evil spirits."
King Lin explained the misunderstanding to her, and she felt relieved a lot.
He also said: "Xuanmao is a thing that can ward off evil spirits. It can be easily placed in the south and is suitable for all descendants. Xuanmao is a black cat and has the effect of warding off evil spirits. Later generations probably only looked at it from the superficial appearance, so they thought
Once a black cat appears, bad luck will happen. It will be indiscriminate.
Putting all the blame on the black cat, Yi placed it in the south. In fact, it means that it is best to keep it at the door. Generally, the door opens to the south. It is suitable for children and grandchildren. It means that it will always work and protect the owner of the house and even
Descendants, or the descendants of this black cat!"
Xia Lingyue's worried look turned from gloomy to clear, and her mood suddenly became much brighter.
"But when I saw a black cat in Xiahou Mansion before, I always felt a little butterflies in my heart. Could it be that there are a lot of unclean things in Xiahou Mansion?"
King Lin asked back: "Do you think the Xiahou Mansion is very clean?"
"Of course I'm not clean, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered from hysteria again and again. Thinking about it, I feel confused, what's going on?"
Thinking of this, Xia Lingyue couldn't help but secretly tighten her clothes, and her doubts became more intense.
"About the black cat that appears in your Xiahou Mansion, I suddenly remembered something. I only vaguely remember hearing someone talk about it. The black cat in Xiahou Mansion seems to have been raised by the late Princess Ji.
And it was still a royal cat. Later, after Princess Taichang passed away, the royal cat became a wild cat in Xiahou Mansion."
Xia Lingyue looked slightly surprised: "What? You mean that black cat was actually raised by my mother, right?"
King Lin nodded: "I just heard about it, and that black cat is different from ordinary cats!"
Xia Lingyue asked eagerly: "What's different? How exactly is it different?"
"I don't know if you have noticed, but there are two colors of wild cats that are often seen in Xiahou Mansion, one is white and the other is black. There is never a third color of wild cats hanging around in Xiahou Mansion. This is the difference between the Royal Cat and the
It’s different from other cats!”
Xia Lingyue was puzzled by his words. She felt a little dizzy: "What black, white, and third color are different?"
King Lin laughed: "Actually, the cats you see are all the same, but they look different during the day and at night."
Xia Lingyue scratched her cheeks, her face full of confusion: "Do you mean that the wild cat's fur color will change one after another at night and during the day?"
King Lin stretched out his hand and pinched her baby's fat cheek, his smiling expression blossoming.
"This time you finally learned to be smart! That's right! The fur of this type of royal cat is very bright, as smooth as water, and as delicate as silk. If you don't look closely, you can't tell it is any different from other cats. This is
The kindness of Yumao! At that time, Ji
After the death of the princess, the cat became a wild cat in the Xiahou Mansion. However, it is said that there is only one pair of this kind of cat, one female and one male, in the world, so there should be one such royal cat. As for the other
No one knows where one is."
King Lin sighed as he spoke. The look on his face was already one of loneliness, and his words were full of regret.
"Such things do happen in the world, and they still happened to my mother and concubine. Alas..."
Xia Lingyue also sighed: "How many women like my mother and concubine are there in the world? It's a pity that she is gone. How great would it be if she were still alive?"
As a result, scenes of her aunt's love for Yao Xianxiu came to mind again. She fell into the illusion with a slight smile on her face, and said unconsciously: "If that person were me, he should have
How great is that?"
"What are you talking about? Are you saying that you also want to be like your mother-in-law?"
King Lin said and knocked her head hard on her head. She looked like she was drunk.
"Ouch! You are such a nuisance! You always destroy the little happiness in other people's hearts! Humph!"
When Xia Lingyue said this, she felt resentful complaints in her heart.
"But to be honest, when Princess Ji married into the Xiahou Mansion, the dowry she brought with her could indeed buy the entire Hualing City! And the rare treasures she took away were really
Not even a little bit! I was still young at that time, and my mother
The queen is still alive. I only remember that my mother told me that I must find a way to find Princess Ji in the future, saying that she has a treasure in her hand that can determine my rule of the world and control of the country! But I have always wanted to
I don’t understand, what kind of treasure is it?”
King Lin's words made Xia Lingyue fall into the pain of self-blame. She frowned and lamented: "It's a pity that I am incompetent! If I hadn't overthrown Liu Bin, wouldn't it be easy to get back those things that should belong to me?
?”
Her words made King Lin laugh again: "What you think is simple. Most people in the world value treasure and status more important than life, so you must not think that you can realize your desire for revenge by overthrowing Liu Bin! However,
, if Liu Bin is really brought down, it may be half of the success! But the problem is..."
King Lin's frown and solemn expression confused Xia Lingyue again: "The problem is that it is even more difficult to overthrow Liu Bin and get your things back now, because Xia Ruyan has already entered the palace and become the crown princess, so it is easy to do so.
It’s hard to do!”
Xia Lingyue said sadly: "Is it possible that as King Lin, there is nothing you can do about it?"
King Lin sighed: "Many things are intertwined and can affect the whole body. If I could have my way, I wouldn't have to endure it for so many years."
Xia Lingyue sighed: "It seems that there is really nothing we can do against the mother and daughter now..."
"It's not like there's no way at all. It's just that the time has not come yet. Don't you have a piece of Xia Ruyan's handle in your hand now? This thing can be of great or small use. It can make Xia Ruyan a success.
She is a prisoner, so I think her arrogance and arrogance must be tempered."
Xia Lingyue thought for a while: "Even so, I feel that just based on this half sleeve, there is insufficient evidence! Do you really believe those jokes about blood recognition?"
King Lin waved his hand: "You don't care so much, just remember this. This half sleeve will be enough to scare her for a while!"
Xia Lingyue shook her head: "This is not a long-term solution. What we have to do is not only to intimidate her, we must bring down Liu Bin, and also pull down Xia Ruyan, so that we can get back what my mother and concubine left behind.
all."
King Lin sighed and said: "The current situation seems to be that Concubine Jiang is in control of half of the country arbitrarily. If we don't spill blood, we may not be able to realize our plan of revenge!"
Xia Lingyue's eyes turned and she smiled mysteriously: "I don't think so!"
King Lin was stunned.
"Quickly tell me, if it can be done without spending a single soldier, it would be a good thing. If it really doesn't work, I don't think there's anything we can do!"
Xia Lingyue lowered her voice and leaned close to his ear: "Then just listen."
"Um……………"
