The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 565 Doubt

Master Duanfang smiled slightly, placed his hand, which was wrapped with Buddhist prayer beads, on Ayu's head, and nodded. "Young benefactor, you are blessed with great fortune." Under the watchful eyes of Old Madam Wang, he didn't finish his sentence.

The blessings are profound, the kind that can benefit all living things.

"Master Duanfang has blessed you, Ayu, thank him," said Old Mrs. Wang calmly.

Ayu, without suspecting anything, obediently thanked him again.

Master Duanfang: "Behind the meditation room is a silkworm house, which is about to spin its cocoon. It is being raised by all the monks in the temple. If you are interested, young benefactor, you may go and take a look."

Ayu's eyes lit up. Silkworms spinning cocoons! She really wanted to see it.

The silkworm breeding industry in the village is in full swing, but because she is busy with her own affairs, Ayu has not been back to visit for many years.

I had only heard my family mention it a few times in letters, but now that I could see it with my own eyes, I couldn't miss it, so I went to the back immediately.

"Grandma, I'm going to check on the cocoons in the back. Just call me if you need anything."

Grandma Wang: "Go ahead."

After Ayu left happily, Old Mrs. Wang asked, "I remember you told me about the way to break the Tongming Gu. So many years have passed, have you found a new way?"

Master Duanfang first shook his head, then nodded.

"What do you mean by this?" Old Mrs. Wang raised her voice. "If you anger me, it won't do you any good, or it won't do this temple any good either."

“Over the years, Princess, you have shed your old mask and become more and more unrestrained. That’s good.” Master Duanfang smiled, as if an elder were looking at a junior. He continued, “It’s not that I want to play riddles with you. This Shared Fate Gu originated from the vanished Eastern Desert Kingdom. Those who knew about it back then have all been executed. But we don’t know where this one came from.”

The fall of the Eastern Desert Kingdom was multifaceted. The entire nation, from top to bottom, was corrupt and fond of researching all sorts of strange things. The sound-transmitting grass that Ayu now frequently uses is one of the most common types.

There are also beings that can take lives from afar, captivate the soul, or directly control people, as well as those that are neither purely good nor purely evil, like the Tongming Gu. In the past, the ruler of the Eastern Desert Kingdom loved to forge alliances with other countries, sending them all sorts of rare treasures and beautiful women from the Eastern Desert Kingdom, including his daughters and concubines.

These people later infiltrated various countries, causing heavy losses to all, and various countries launched various ruthless purge operations.

The Eastern Desert Kingdom itself was also courting disaster. There was no affection between the king and his children. In the end, not only did the king's children rebel, but the people also rose up in rebellion. The whole country was plunged into chaos and misery.

The Tongming Gu that Dachang used originally came from the Eastern Desert Kingdom.

"Fortunately, it only circulated within the palace and didn't fall into the hands of the common people," Master Duanfang said. "The last copy belonged to the late Emperor and Princess Wanru—"

"Alright, don't bring up those trivial matters in front of me." Old Mrs. Wang waved her hand, very impatient to hear these things. "I just want to ask, since the last one has already been used, why is there still one left? Are you saying that this 'Shared Fate Gu' also originated from the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Wang realized that Qin Huai's surname was Qin.

This is the surname of royalty. She had previously thought that Qin Huai was either the child of a prince or a duke, but she had never considered that.

What if it's one of those?

Emperor Dachang had few children, with only three princes and a sickly princess born to the empress.

All three princes were over fifteen years old, so Qin Huai's age didn't match.

Only the sickly princess seemed to be the same age as Qin Huai.

Is it...
