Two treasure maps

The capital of Xiuguo

In the deep courtyard of Mu Enbo's mansion, the sunlight shines through the delicate window lattices like gold powder, sprinkles on the ancient bricks and tiles, forming mottled light and shadow. Although this light and shadow adds a touch of warmth to the entire mansion, in a quiet corner of the mansion, the mood of the maid Taoxiang is as if shrouded by dark clouds.

She stood outside the delivery room, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes revealing deep worry. Inside the delivery room, the third young master's wife, Zhang, was experiencing the pain of childbirth, and all this was an unspeakable disaster for Taoxiang.

She knew very well that the Third Young Master's wife shouldn't have this baby, but she didn't know why. She had heard vaguely that there would be some kind of heavenly punishment, but she didn't know why.

After all, this baby was raised secretly by the Third Young Master and his wife, who cleverly took advantage of the opportunity of being punished and reflected on their mistakes.

She had already informed her wife, but now, the baby was about to be born, and her wife had not yet arrived.

What makes Taoxiang even more uneasy is that the midwife Zhang in the delivery room is not an ordinary person. She has a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts and seems to know all the secrets of this mansion.

Suddenly, the originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled. The deafening thunder seemed to be a sign of the coming of heavenly punishment, which made people shudder. Taoxiang couldn't help but shudder, and her uneasiness became even worse.

She looked up at the sky, only to see dark clouds and rumbling thunder, which seemed to swallow up the entire mansion.

In the delivery room, lying on a simple wooden bed, Zhang closed her eyes tightly, her pale face forming a sharp contrast with the bright red quilt on the bed. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, as if every drop was telling of her pain and persistence at the moment.

"Push harder, push harder!" The midwife was a practitioner from her family, sent by her grandfather to help her.

My grandfather predicted that this baby was the reincarnation of a fairy, but it should not be reincarnated in her womb. My grandfather spent fifty years of cultivation and used the technique of changing fetuses to make himself pregnant with this fairy baby that could revitalize the family.

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of waking someone up, Zhang became more determined.

The pain of every contraction made the Third Young Master's wife, Zhang's body tense like a line, but she always clenched her teeth and forced herself not to scream out.

She knew in her heart that this was an act against the will of heaven, and that there could not be any mistakes in every link. The thunder outside was the fulfillment of her grandfather's prophecy. However, as long as the fairy was here, the child would be born safely, she firmly believed.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard. Mrs. Mu Enbo and the pregnant second young master's wife, Mrs. Zhao, hurried over. Their skirts swayed gently with their steps, as if telling of their inner anxiety and uneasiness.

Madam Xia was wearing a luxurious brocade long dress with wide hems and delicate peony patterns embroidered on it, which showed her noble status. Her hair was high and adorned with a delicate jade hairpin, revealing a gentle and dignified temperament. However, at this moment, her brows were furrowed, and her face was full of worry and anxiety.

The second young master's wife, Zhao, was wearing a soft pink silk robe with a thin belt around her waist, which made her look light and graceful. Her belly was bulging, as if carrying the hope of a new life. Her hands gently protected her belly, and her eyes were full of maternal tenderness. However, at this moment when the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled, her eyes also revealed a hint of anxiety and fear.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be stained with ink, pressing down heavily, as if to swallow up the whole world. Thunder rolled in the clouds, roaring continuously, like the roar of gods, making people feel awe.

Taoxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The lady finally came. She saw the third young master wandering outside the courtyard. It seemed that the third young master had asked the lady to come.

At this moment, she just felt strange. Why didn't the Madam and the Second Young Master's Madam bring their own maids with them? Where were their personal maids?

The sky seemed to be torn apart, lightning streaked through the darkness, and thunder rumbled, shocking everyone.

The wind raged like a wild beast, sweeping up clouds of dust and fallen leaves, as if it was going to swallow up the whole world. The thunder rumbled, deafening, as if the gods were angry. The raindrops as big as beans fell densely, hitting the windows with a "crackling" sound.

Taoxiang stood in the corridor. Second Young Master's wife, Zhao, looked at her deeply, but said nothing. She followed Mrs. Xia into the delivery room. Taoxiang was alarmed by this strange look and stood there blankly. She felt as if the delivery room in front of her had become an isolated island, isolated from the storm outside. She seemed to have become an isolated delivery room.

Suddenly, a baby's cry was heard in the room. Amid the roar of the thunderstorm, the baby's cry was particularly clear and sad. It was like a string of broken notes, standing out in the symphony of the storm. The cry carried an unspeakable helplessness and fear.

Mrs. Zhang, who was in charge of the delivery, hurried out of the room and shouted excitedly, "Go and tell the master, the second young master's wife has given birth to twins, both girls."

Taoxiang's face instantly lost its color because she already knew what was weird. She knelt on the ground in embarrassment. All her anxiety had an outlet. She was finished!

Shuguo Palace

The weather was like a punishment from heaven, making people depressed. The dark sky seemed to be torn apart, and thunder struck down one after another. The deafening thunder made people tremble with fear. It was as if someone was going through a catastrophe. The air was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, and it seemed that there was a huge force tearing and surging between heaven and earth, making the situation unpredictable.

In such weather, the Emperor Xiu Guo Xiu, who was about to retreat to practice, was disturbed by a sudden strange phenomenon. He quickly counted with his fingers and knew that something was wrong with Mu Enbo's mansion again. Guo Xiu frowned helplessly, and a trace of displeasure rose in his heart. Isn't it just a trespass to the Jade Emperor's heaven? Why throw such a difficult trouble to him? He rubbed his tired eyebrows, and felt irritated in his heart - the plan of retreating to practice, it seems that it will have to be put on hold in the near future.

The side hall of Yunhai Palace in the imperial palace is a quiet and solemn corner. Its decoration style is different from the gorgeous main hall, and it is more simple and practical. The light in the hall is slightly dim, and several exquisite copper palace lanterns emit soft light, illuminating the exquisite wood carvings and murals inlaid with gems. The air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, isolated from everything in the outside palace, as if it is a secret haven.

Emperor Xiu Guo Xiu sat on a dragon throne inlaid with ivory and gems, his face calm and deep, his eyes as sharp as torches. He wore a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with lifelike golden dragons, highlighting his supreme status. His fingers tapped the armrests lightly, making a low and rhythmic sound, as if he was thinking about something important.

At this time, a golden-eyed spirit snake transformed into a human form, knelt respectfully in front of the emperor, and reported to Emperor Xiu what had happened in Mu Enbo's mansion.

His face was hidden under a black mask, revealing only a pair of golden eyes. He had a slender figure, wearing tight black clothes, and a black snake-skin whip wrapped around his waist.

Xiu Huang's fingers did not pause, he just said slowly: "Twins? Interesting." After a little thought, his fingers paused and ordered: "Check which one is punished by heaven."

Chang Tianlong responded and instantly turned into a spirit snake, disappearing in the heavy rain, as if he had never appeared.

The corners of Xiu Huang's mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile. His eyes flashed with cunning and depth. He sat quietly on the dragon throne, his fingers continued to tap the armrests, his posture upright and majestic. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was not calm in his heart.

In Xiuhuang's eyes, the Jade Emperor is an extremely cunning and powerful opponent. He is not famous for his great magical powers, but for his far-reaching wisdom and unpredictable cunning. He is like an isolated island standing firmly in a turbulent sea with undercurrents. No matter how violent the wind and waves around him are, he can always occupy a place firmly and stand firm.

Xiu Huang had been avoiding the spotlight for these years, silently enduring the interference of the Jade Emperor's conspiracy, and had to interrupt his practice again and again to clean up various messes for the Jade Emperor. He had long been filled with frustration. However, the time had not come yet, so he could only endure it.

Now, the Jade Emperor had actually put such an interesting handle in his hands, twins? No matter which one was punished by heaven, he would make the Jade Emperor suffer. Xiu Huang's mouth curled up into a grim smile, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, as if to say: "Jade Emperor, are you ready to take it?"

Even though the journey was difficult, he was one step closer to the secret he wanted to know.
