Primordial Array
Primordial Array
Sima You Yue stared at him and huffed, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Did he bring her here on purpose so that she could witness all of this?
"Do I have to do this in order to get your help? Don't imagine things!" Di Zhe lightly slapped her head in the same way she did to him earlier in revenge.
Sima You Yue slapped his hand away and glared at him, "Why did you put up an embarrassed face?"
"Em, I was thinking that you could find Mo Yu and get the Mo Clan to side with us so that they wouldn't side with Ghost Concubine." Di Zhe felt embarrassed as he wasn't close to Mo Yu.
"Are you saying that the Mo Clan is with the Ghost Concubine?!" Sima You Yue cried in disbelief.
"Not really, but they helped Ghost Concubine with some things." Di Zhe continued, "We heard that the Ghost Concubine is trying to get the Mo Clan."
Sima You Yue recalled that when she met Mo Yu, he said that he wanted to kill her because of the Ghost Concubine. However, she got away with it because she knew how to brew tea.
"I think Mo Yu won't follow the Ghost Concubine." Sima You Yue continued, "He's not the kind that will serve anyone."
"Just in case." Di Liu continued, "What if he changes his mind and agrees to it?"
"I'll talk to him then, it's just that I don't know where he is now." Sima You Yue continued, "I don't even know if he will listen to me."
"He will." Since that bastard cared about her.
"Where is he then?"
"I don't know, but he will come and look for you since he knows you're here. Who knows, he might already be in the Imperial Capital."
"Leave this to me then. Since I know you'll find him anyway." Sima You Yue didn't take it to heart, "For now, tell me about the situation while we continue walking around the courtyard."
"Um, it'll be better for you to adapt to the environment if you know about how things run here, since you're staying in the Palace. Just in case you don't know who's the enemy or not." Di Zhe continued, "Let's go, we'll talk while we walk."
"Mm."
"Firstly, other than the Ghost Concubine, he has seventeen other concubines apart from your Grandmother. Of these seventeen concubines, ten of them always follow Ghost Concubine's order blindly. The others remain neutral." Di Zhe explained.
"Wouldn't there be nineteen including my Grandmother and Ghost Concubine? Grandfather is such a womanizer." Sima You Yue pressed her lips together, she would have destroyed his little brother if Wu Lingyu was like that.
"This is nothing." Di Zhe continued, "Qing Hun has a few hundred of them!"
Alright, no harm if there wasn't any comparison.
"The King has hundreds of children, your Mother is the youngest. There are a thousand in our generation, but the older ones have been released. Only seventy or eighty of them are left in the Imperial Capital. These people have childrens but none of them are Princesses. So you're currently the youngest Princess." Di Zhe continued.
"There are so many people, how long are you going to take to explain all of them? You should have a name list, just give it to me." Sima You Yue said.
Di Zhe took out a name list, "I knew you wouldn't have the patience, I've already prepared it."
Sima You Yue kept the name list and was ready to go back to study it.
"As for the forces that are outside the Palace….."
Sima You Yue looked around the General Villa while Di Zhe was explaining to her as they slowly went back.
Di Zhe sent her back to Youthful Palace while reminding her to be careful and to contact him in case of anything, before he left the Palace.
"Young Princess, Wu Lingyu and the rest are back." The servant greeted her.
"Got it." Sima You Yue went to the chamber where Wu Lingyu and Black Shadow were. Black Shadow and Huan were playing chess when she got there, while Wu Lingyu was trying to study something in the corridor.
The three of them turned to her when they saw her walking in, "How is the General Villa?"
"It's quite huge." Sima You Yue nodded to them and went to Wu Lingyu, "Have you told them?"
"Hm, they will let me know once they know where the Cardinal Points Divine Seal is." Wu Lingyu nodded.
"What are you studying?"
"I got an array when I went out, but it's damaged. I'm wondering if I can figure out what the completed version is." Wu Lingyu continued, "Since you're here, come and take a look together."
"Sure." Sima You Yue looked at the disabling array on the floor as her eyes brightened, "This is a killing array?"
"That's right, it's one of the killing arrays of the Top Ten Primordial Arrays." Wu Lingyu explained.
"Wow, how did you get this? Are there any other arrays?" Sima You Yue was so excited seeing the broken array on the floor, she almost jumped directly on it.
"Are you talking about the other arrays of the Primordial Era?" Wu Lingyu shook his head looking at how she looked at him with hope, "This is the only one."
"Alright, one is better than nothing." Sima You Yue continued, "Let's try this array first."
"Alright." Wu Lingyu liked her attitude where she appreciated everything she had and didn't force things.
"Where did this array come from? Is there a hint or something?" Sima You Yue asked.
"No, they got it unexpectedly, there's only these disabling papers." Wu Lingyu passed her two pieces of paper that he left aside.
Sima You Yue took a look at the stained papers, each of them had drawings on a part of disabling, even if they put it together, they couldn't make out the whole proper array, they could only piece out into what Wu Lingyu drew but a lot of part in the middle was missed out.
Sima You Yue took a look at the drawings again, she knew it would be useless so she tried to figure it out on her own, so she put down the drawings and started studying it with Wu Lingyu.
Wu Lingyu and Sima You Yue studied it together and managed to get some hints since no one in the Palace came to disturb her at this time, but it was still far from getting the whole array pieced together.
Xi Yu came in and greeted Sima You Yue, "Young Princess, Young Highness Yu Hao is here."
"Yu Hao?" Sima You Yue blinked, "Who is that?"
"He's Highess Yu Du's posthumous child." Xi Yu answered.
"Yu Du's posthumous child? Seems like he who comes is surely ill-intended!" Sima You Yue stood up and dusted her hands off before she noticed the bruise on Xi Yu's face, her face sunk, "Did he do that?"
"Yes." Xi Yu lowered her head, "When the Young Highness came and this servant told him that the Young Princess was busy… he…"
"Ha, he came to my Palace and hit my people. Is he trying to tell me that I don't have anyone in the Palace?" Sima You Yue held the thought that those who were left were those that served her Mother. Mother didn't scold or hit anyone before but Yu Hao hit her servant the moment he came here, how could he take her for granted!
She sneered, "Xi Yu, let's go and meet this Young Highness."
"Let me come with you." Wu Lingyu stood up.
"There's no need to, what can Yu Hao do in my Palace?" Sima You Yue brought Xi Yu along right after she spoke.
