Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter-Chapter 248 - Master Prophet declared the nature’s mystery

He Danggui was very shocked. She unconsciously wrapped in the quilt and moved towards Meng Xuan’s arms. After a while, she heard Zhu Quan’s voice again, “No. I’ve searched inside and outside of Qi Lu Yard. And I am pretty sure that apart from the three of us, there is no living person within 50 zhang (a unit of length in ancient China) of the yard. I just rushed out as soon as I heard the sound. There is no one in the world that I can’t chase. Therefore, the noise outside the yard is probably caused by birds and beasts, instead of someone eavesdropping.”

After He Danggui quietly listened to these words, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, because she found that the voices of Qi Xuanyu and Zhu Quan were clearly sounding in her ears, but not in the Su Mei Yard! In other words, the two speakers were far away from Su Mei Yard, and they were even in Qi Lu Yard on the other side of Luo’s Mansion, but their voices appeared in Su Mei Yard, which was 3 miles apart!

What was going on? Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission?! f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

He Danggui raised her eyes to look at Meng Xuan’s smiling eyes. She wanted to speak, but she was afraid that her voice would “pass to” Zhu Quan’s ears, so she opened her mouth under the veil and stopped. However, Meng Xuan immediately read her thoughts, so he took the lead in saying, “It’s okay. We can talk as usual here. Lord Ning and others will never hear. Xiaoyi, why are you wearing a veil? I see that the skin on your forehead is pale. Are you sick?”

He Danggui opened her eyes curiously, ignoring Meng Xuan’s question, and eagerly asked, “What kind of trick is this? Why can I hear Zhu Quan’s voice? Is he still in Qi Lu Yard now? He didn’t catch and find us just now, did he?” At this moment, Zhu Quan and Qi Xuanyu’s conversation could still be heard. Judging from the conversation, the two thought the passing birds and beasts made noises. It was because Zhu Quan believed that no one in the world was faster than him. He Danggui breathed a sigh of relief. Arrogance was Zhu Quan’s biggest shortcoming. He missed the throne back then in the previous life, and now his arrogance enabled her to escape.

Meng Xuan explained to her, “In the past, I learned this skill from a stranger. I can hear the sound of a designated place within a five-mile radius. Although it doesn’t work sometimes and it is not as convenient as a senior to use the ear to listen directly, its advantage is that it can reach the long distance. Even a senior of my uncle’s level can’t catch the voices of people three miles away, but this skill can do it.”

He Danggui asked curiously, “What is the name of this skill? Is it difficult to learn? Why can I share the sounds I hear with others?”

Meng Xuan vaguely said, “I was in a hurry to learn back then. When I only learned half of it, the person who taught me left, and even didn’t reveal the name of this skill to me. If you are interested, I can try to teach you in the future. However, I haven’t fully mastered it. It only worked once out of ten times. This time I was with you and I was very focused, so I succeeded once.” This “One-Way Soul Search Method” was learned from Bai Yangbai in the previous life. It was also the unique secret skill of Bai Yangbai, and Bai Yangbai had never taught him these in this life, so he couldn’t show it off grandiosely. And especially, the relationship between He Danggui and Bai Yangbai was special.

He Danggui only felt that the heat from the soles of her feet hit one after another, and the sensation of limpness and numbness quickly spread to her whole body, causing her to groan. After groaning with a low voice, she met Meng Xuan’s smiling eyes. She clenched her teeth shyly, closed her eyes tightly, and distracted by listening to Zhu Quan and the others. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

This time it was Qi Chuan’s voice, “Brother, since you have helped Sister Qingyi twice, how come you are so hostile to her now and speak ill of her?”

Meng Xuan whispered comfortingly, “I didn’t mean to laugh at you. I just think this moan is a bit familiar, as if I’ve heard it before. You don’t have to resist it, just call it out if you want. There are no outsiders in this yard anyway.” While speaking, he changed to a lying position and guided the continuous flow of air into the veins of the pair of thin arms. He closed his eyes and said, “I can’t hear anything. You just treat me as if I don’t exist.”

He Danggui snorted twice, and then asked with a trembling voice, “Will the heat flow continue? Can it be sealed with a silver needle?”

Meng Xuan vetoed her proposal, “No. You won’t be able to hear it if you seal the acupoint. There is always a price to pay for eavesdropping on other people’s speech, and the heat is not too unbearable. In fact, I feel the same in my Yongquan acupoint. I have gotten used to it. It is your first time, so you react so strongly. Just yell a few times to relieve it. I will never laugh at you. Like this.” Then he yelled to give her a demonstration.

“Hush—” He Danggui frowned, “Be quiet. I can’t hear them.”

“... Mencius said, compassion is the beginning of benevolence. Everyone has compassion.” This was Qi Xuanyu’s voice. He said, “I gave her clothes and socks at the beginning, and I praised her in front of Madam Luo, because I sympathized with a weak person like her, and found her beautiful. I expected that if she grew up, she would make a huge success in the future. But what I did not expect is that her success will have to be supplemented by the Lord, so there are some things I have to say, even if the divulgence of the nature’s mystery will lead to misfortune.”

“Say it.” This was Zhu Quan’s voice.

The strong strange sensation of limpness and numbness spread all over the body like running water. He Danggui gritted her teeth and stifled groans, listening to “Master Prophet”, Qi Xuanyu, to reveal the nature’s mystery, “That time I praised He Danggui for her good destiny, which caused a fat woman’s dissatisfaction.” Qi Chuan interrupted and said, “That fat woman is Luo Baiqian’s stepmother.” Qi Xuanyu said in a deep voice, “Seeing that they still didn’t believe that He Danggui’s fate had no bed impact on her relatives, I took out the copper cash to make a serious divination. This time I was shocked. Then I took her eight characters of a horoscope and divined it twice. I was wondering how the Luo’s Family could have such a precious eight characters. It turns out that He Danggui is not an ordinary person. She is a reincarnation of the royal family member!”

He Danggui was confused and didn’t understand what Qi Xuanyu was talking about. She was herself, a lonely soul who came with memories of her previous life, and not one’s reincarnation. Qi Xuanyu might be a deceitful mystical conman.

Meng Xuan suddenly leaned his face close, pressed against her forehead with his forehead, and asked in a low voice, “Your forehead is cold and pale. What is wrong with you?”

“It is you who are sick. Your forehead is hot,” He Danggui displeased his intimacy and snorted coldly, “Why did you save me? Why did you take me out of Qi Lu Yard? You think that there is an improper relationship between me and Lord Ning, Zhu Quan, don’t you? Then why don’t you throw me at him!”

Under the curious questioning of Zhu Quan and Qi Chuan, Qi Xuanyu’s elegant and magnetic voice spread out, “My hexagram of the nature’s mystery is learned from my father. It is unique in the world. Such a skill is superior to the Taoist sage. So, after a few consecutive divinations, I’m almost completely certain that He Danggui in the previous life is definitely a member of royal family. Then, by inferring her age, it can be calculated that she died ten years ago in her previous life. Since I live in the capital for a long time and often come in and go out of the Imperial Palace, there is no royal member that I don’t recognize. And I may also know the royal member who died ten years ago. Therefore, I asked Madam Luo for a portrait of He Danggui.”

Meng Xuan said dully, “As soon as you left Tao Yao Yard, I saw you and unconsciously followed you until outside of Qi Lu Yard. I saw you hiding in the grass and eavesdropping on the conversations of the people inside, so I also hid behind a tree not far away and eavesdropped together. I don’t know what trouble you have with Lord Ning, but you choose to eavesdrop. It means that you don’t plan to meet him for the time being. Therefore, seeing you make a move and disturb Lord Ning, I naturally wanted to cover for you. Don’t you remember? Girl, I just told you a few days ago. I always treat you the same.”

He Danggui continued to snort coldly with her nostrils and said, “It’s difficult to distinguish your words are true or false, and your attitude is sometimes enthusiastic and sometimes indifferent. I am really flattered and at a loss. Didn’t your brother say that you already have a concubine and a son? Treat them well as always. I don’t need your affection.” But while saying that, she still let him hold her hand and listened to Qi Xuanyu’s nonsense with his magical skills, “The Luo’s Family did not ask the painter to draw her, but there was a maid who collected a self-cut portrait of He Danggui...”

Meng Xuan said anxiously, “I have never lied to you, nor have I had a son with another woman. My brother made up those words to lie to you...”

“Hush!” He Danggui glared at him and said, “Your voice is so loud that it covers Qi Xuanyu’s voice!” But after hearing Meng Xuan’s words, a part of her heart suddenly relaxed a little. She felt puzzled, meanwhile, groans escaped from her mouth. What on earth was the strange method of eavesdropping? While eavesdropping, she even must endure the sensation of limpness and numbness.

Qi Xuanyu said, “Lord, there are many precious books about Daoist magic and miscellaneous theories in your mansion, and you may have read it. Some books about reincarnation have a saying that more than 90% of a person’s appearance is determined by the soul. The appearance of the reincarnated person is basically the same as that of the previous life. Therefore, when I got the portrait of He Danggui and fixed my eyes, I recognized who she was and took away the portrait from Madam Luo. I visited openly and investigated secretly for many days. Finally, I hid this secret deep in my heart until today. Lord, I am very sure that He Danggui is the reincarnation of the Tenth Princess. She is the reincarnation of your Tenth Sister, so you can not marry her. Lord, He Danggui looks exactly like the Tenth Princess!”

As soon as this remark came out, Qi Lu Yard fell into silence. He Danggui and Meng Xuan at Su Mei Yard also stared at each other for a while. He Danggui did not expect that Qi Xuanyu talked such nonsense. She was so angry that she forgot all uncomfortable symptoms. She reprimanded Meng Xuan in an angry voice, “Why do you stare? If I am the reincarnation of a princess, you may be some kind of immortal who has reincarnated. Qi Xuanyu is a visionary at all. He should write drama.”

Meng Xuan shook his head thoughtfully, “Tenth Princess died in the spring fourteen years ago. You were born in June, right? The emperor’s Tenth Princess died in mid-April. From the perspective of time, two persons can be completely matched. Qi Xuanyu has frequently wandered between Imperial Court and Imperial Harem since he was thirteen years old. It is not surprising that he has seen Tenth Princess, and his hexagram of the nature’s mystery is mysterious...”

Since Meng Xuan’s words were also unrealistic like Qi Xuanyu’s, He Danggui couldn’t help being funny and angry, “I’m very very very sure that I am myself. I’m just He Danggui, not a princess’s reincarnation. No matter how magical Qi Xuanyu’s hexagrams are, he really makes a mistake this time.” She had been with Zhu Quan for more than ten years in her previous life. Could it be that Zhu Quan could not recognize his own emperor sister? And she had lived in the Lord Ning’s Mansion for more than a year without a name. If she had the face of Tenth Princess, Zhu Quan should notice her for the first time.

Meng Xuan said to himself, “By the way, I remember that Tenth Princess was only eleven years old when she died. Xiaoyi, your little portrait three years ago was also about ten years old. No wonder Qi Xuanyu can draw the conclusion only with a small portrait.”

He Danggui stared at him with wide eyes, “I didn’t die so early in my last life. I lived to...” The words stopped abruptly here, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened!

It was only because she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when Bai Yangbai divined for her by her eight characters of a horoscope, he said, “In your previous life, you died at the age of ten. You were so short-lived. It seems that you have died quite unjustly. It is an abnormal death, so there is no marriage relationship. But...” Could the “previous life” divined by Qi Xuanyu actually be the “previous life” of the “previous life”?
