The boss traveled through time in the end times: The prince was beaten by the princess again
Chapter 128 Another Egg
The next morning, Lin Qingwan received an invitation from the palace, asking her to enter the Xuantian Tower for meditation.
Lin Qingwan packed up and drove to the palace alone. What was it about Xuantian Tower that attracted her and made her want to enter?
Xuantian Tower, located on a hilltop east of the Imperial Palace, is guarded all year round to prevent people from entering. Usually it is guarded by the royal family, and only the royal family can enter, but now, only the heir to the throne can enter the top floor.
Every five years, the champion of the Xuanwu Conference held by Dongao Country can enter the Xuantian Tower to gain enlightenment, but after thousands of years, those who have entered the Xuantian Tower to gain enlightenment are still lingering on the first floor. The Xuantian Tower has a total of seven floors. Each floor has different levels, and only those who pass the levels successfully can enter the next floor. Nowadays, only a few can enter the second floor.
Only the legendary Xuan Emperor only made it to the 4th floor and ended up in failure. Even so, that person finally achieved the status of Xuan Emperor! It can be seen that although this Xuantian Tower is difficult to break through, once successful, the rewards for the challenger are also huge.
Lin Qingwan silently thought about the news about Xuantian Tower that she had heard from Lin Yiyang before. It seemed that it was not easy to pass the Xuantian Tower. She wanted to give it a try first to see how many levels she could pass.
Soon, the carriage drove into the palace. But before Lin Qingwan could reach the palace, she was stopped by someone. The person who stopped her was not someone else, but Concubine Xian's people.
The man came with a fierce momentum, blocking Lin Qingwan's carriage heading to the hall. He looked at Lin Qingwan arrogantly.
"Miss Lin, my master, the Concubine Xian, invites you. Please follow me."
Lin Qingwan snorted, leaned lazily on the carriage, and said softly: "Oh? Lady Xianfei, I don't know her at all, there's nothing to see. Besides, I was ordered to enter the palace, but I was delayed. If the emperor blames me, can you afford it?"
After a while, the nanny who blocked the way replied, "Young lady, it's still early. My master just wants to talk to you. He has no other intentions. He will not delay your meeting with the emperor."
It was obvious that this time when he spoke, he lacked the arrogance he had before and his voice was much softer.
Lin Qingwan didn't want to bother with that virtuous concubine. Her son was asking for death, and she was kind enough not to kill him. Now, she came to her door.
Lin Qingwan knew very well that the virtuous concubine had no good intentions, but she always liked to join in the fun. Calculating the time, it was still early for her to see the emperor, so why not go and see what medicine the virtuous concubine was selling?
"Well, it's still early anyway, I might as well go talk to the Concubine Xian!"
"Girl, please follow me."
The nanny couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw Lin Qingwan agreed. The empress arranged her a task, and if she couldn't invite Lin Qingwan, she would be punished when she returned. Fortunately, the girl agreed to her. Alas, she offended the master, I'm afraid that Miss Lin will have a hard time in the future!
Lin Qingwan didn't think so. She didn't care about a virtuous concubine.
Lin Qingwan followed the nanny around the palace and came to the back garden. After passing a rockery, she saw the virtuous concubine. Lin Qingwan saw that this was her first time seeing the virtuous concubine. The virtuous concubine rarely attended various banquets in the palace and lived in seclusion, so she had never seen her. Even so, she was the emperor's most favored concubine.
Therefore, the second prince's status also soared.
When the virtuous concubine saw Lin Qingwan coming, she smiled and nodded at her. On the surface, she did not seem sad at all about her son being deposed. This surprised Lin Qingwan. Could it be that she was not sad that her son was deposed?
"Lin Qingwan, hello to the virtuous concubine!" Lin Qingwan bowed slightly, following all the necessary etiquette and there was nothing wrong with her.
The virtuous concubine was neither anxious nor impatient, she smiled kindly and raised her hand slightly towards Lin Qingwan: "Get up, I just wanted to chat with you. You don't have to be polite!"
Lin Qingwan then raised her head and saw the appearance of Consort Xian. She had a pretty face. Although she was not a glamorous beauty, she had an elegant temperament, a kind smile, and a kind of affinity. It was hard for Li Qingwan to imagine that she was the mother of the ruthless Second Prince.
The mother and son are two extremes. What's going on? Lin Qingwan thought to herself. She couldn't even guess any reason to explain it.
"Or is this Concubine Xian pretending? If so, this person is too cunning!"
Lin Qingwan didn't want to guess any more, so she asked straight to the point, "Why did the Concubine Xian ask me to come? Could it be because of the Second Prince's matter?"
Lin Qingwan really couldn't guess why Concubine Xian was looking for her for something else, except for the matter of the Second Prince.
The virtuous concubine took a look at the girl in front of her and found that she was indeed a straightforward girl.
"Yes and no!"
The virtuous concubine said slowly.
"Oh? Please tell me in detail, Madam."
The virtuous concubine picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then, she slowly said, "The young lady must be wondering why I said yes and no."
"Actually, I asked you to come here because I have something to ask of you. I heard that you are going to enter Xuantian Tower for enlightenment soon, so I want to ask you something. I hope you can agree to it!"
Lin Qingwan looked at Concubine Xian's sincere eyes and said, "My Lady Concubine Xian, please tell me what it is first. If you don't tell me, I can't promise you!"
"Okay, let me tell you. There is a book of elixirs hidden in the Xuantian Tower. I heard it is on the fifth floor. If you can go up there, please help me find it. I hope you can give me a copy. It contains a prescription that can cure my son. That's why I came to you."
When Concubine Xian said this, there was no other emotion in her words, she just simply wanted Lin Qingwan to help her.
Lin Qingwan continued, "You want the classics? Don't you hate me at all for abolishing the Second Prince?"
Lin Qingwan asked directly without hiding anything. Concubine Xian did not expect that Lin Qingwan would not shy away from talking about this topic. However, Concubine Xian was shrewd. Even if she hated Lin Qingwan at this moment, what was the use? The matter of obtaining the classics had to be handled by Lin Qingwan.
"To be honest, I do hate you a little bit, but that's all based on the fact that you killed my son. As far as we're concerned, there's no grudge between us. I know my son best, so I can't blame you for this."
"Besides, if I can get that book, I can cure my son. So, I want you to help me get that book. Besides, I can't let you work for nothing. After the matter is completed, I will give you a thank-you gift.
I have an egg here. Although I don't know what it is, it is definitely precious. I also have a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. If the girl can achieve her wish, I will give it to you as well!"
After Concubine Xian finished speaking, the maid brought up the unknown egg and a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which was very rare. Although, in Lin Qingwan's opinion, this Ganoderma lucidum was nothing, she had plenty of it in her space. But, a fly's leg is also meat!
The other thing was the egg. It was the size of a football and felt cold, like stone. Other than that, there was nothing unusual.
Seeing Lin Qingwan studying the egg, Concubine Xian started to explain, "This egg was found in a lake when Ling Xuan was traveling. At that time, the water temperature of that lake was unusually cold. Although it was the hottest time of the year, only that lake had cold water. So, the egg was found at the bottom of the lake. But the egg has been brought back for a long time, and we have tried various methods, but we can't hatch it or open it. So, we can only put it aside."
