Chapter 208 Worrying About Gains and Losses
As soon as he saw the expressions of the three children, Zhao Feng knew that they didn't know what was good.
"This is a good treasure. I'll give it a try."
Zhao Feng said as he came to the table with the Soul Gathering Bell and asked the three children to sit down obediently.
"Close your eyes and concentrate your mind."
Zhao Feng called out, and then saw that the three children did as he was told, and then he picked up the small hammer next to the Soul Gathering Bell and knocked it gently.
"Dong——"
Unexpectedly, the sound of the Soul Gathering Bell was deep and powerful, and it echoed endlessly, as if the bell sounded in their minds.
The sound of the bell shook their bodies and souls and resonated with each other, which made them feel light-headed and relaxed a lot.
"Bang!"
The sound of the Soul Gathering Bell was still echoing, but another abrupt sound rang out.
Li Xuan and Yu'er opened their eyes and saw that Princess Ankang had knocked her head on the stone table and there was no sign of movement at all.
The man and the cat were startled, and even Zhao Feng, who was striking the bell, was stunned in his place, keeping the action of striking the bell with the hammer.
"What happened?"
Zhao Feng's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he looked at the thing in his hand.
"This is the Soul Gathering Bell, for sure."
"I didn't strike the Soul-Destroying Bell."
"What happened to Princess Ankang?"
The Soul Gathering Bell has the effect of calming the mind and spirit. If you listen to the sound of the bell before going to bed at night, you can sleep very soundly and sleep until dawn.
Princess Ankang is not in good health, and this thing can help her sleep well.
Of course, the effect of the Soul Gathering Bell is naturally more than that.
But in broad daylight, how could Princess Ankang lose consciousness when she heard the bell in the middle of her meal?
Li Xuan came to Princess Ankang's side, stretched out his claws to feel her breath, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The little nose was breathing in and out, and she was energetic.
After a while, a slight snoring sound was heard, which made Li Xuan and Yu'er feel a little embarrassed.
Hearing the snoring, the nervous Zhao Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought that Princess Ankang was so weak that she couldn't even bear the sound of the Soul Gathering Bell.
If that was the case, then he, the bell ringer, would be the murderer of the princess.
"Ah Xuan, it's all your fault for tossing the princess like that just now!"
Yu'er rolled her eyes at Li Xuan and helped the sleeping Princess Ankang up.
"General Manager Zhao, please wait a moment."
"The princess is tired today, I will help her go in and rest first."
Yu'er smiled apologetically, and she couldn't help but feel speechless when thinking about the current situation.
"Forget about eating halfway through, and you're still meeting guests, how could you fall asleep?"
"It must be Ah Xuan's fault!"
As Yu'er thought about it, she took the time to tap Li Xuan's forehead, but Li Xuan not only didn't dodge, but also pushed forward.
"!?"
Yu'er felt pain and burst into tears.
Her finger just now was like hitting an iron plate. I don't know what's wrong with her cat's head?
Seeing Yu'er's face flushed with pain, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile.
He quickly pretended to be good, as if it was all an accident, and stretched out his pink little tongue to lick Yu'er's sore finger, which was considered an apology.
Seeing Li Xuan, who had just bullied her and was acting cute and cute, Yu'er was angry and happy. She simply turned her head and ignored him, and helped Princess Ankang go to sleep first.
Yu'er understood that she was the easiest to bully in Jingyang Palace.
Zhao Feng saw all their little actions on the side, and smiled without saying a word.
He turned his head to look at Jingyang Palace. Although it seemed a little more dilapidated and empty than other places in the palace, there was probably no place more humane than here.
In such a large palace, there was no place without intrigue and deception.
Only the three children in the Jingyang Palace are innocent, making the cold palace look like a piece of pure land.
If there is a choice, I am afraid that many people in the palace would like to live in the Jingyang Palace.
Especially for those who are tired of intrigue.
"It's a pity that this is a cold palace. Those who want to come in can't come in, and those who want to go out can't go out."
Zhao Feng thought so and shook his head.
"It seems that everyone is asking for it but can't get it."
Yu'er helped Princess Ankang back to the house, and only Li Xuan and Zhao Feng were left in the yard.
Zhao Feng said, "Ah Xuan, this soul gathering bell not only has the effect of calming the mind, but the sound of the bell also has the effect of shaking the internal organs. I think you have noticed it just now."
Li Xuan nodded.
He has been practicing the Dragon Tiger Wind Roar recently, and he is constantly shaking his bone marrow and internal organs with sound every day, so he is particularly sensitive to this effect.
"Then you should also guess the purpose of His Majesty sending this thing."
Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"When you are practicing, ringing the Soul Gathering Bell can strengthen the effect of vibrating the bone marrow and internal organs with the power of Qi and blood."
"And the sound of the Soul Gathering Bell is very steady and powerful, and it can even reduce the risk of injuring yourself during your practice."
"This Soul Gathering Bell is a popular treasure in the palace. Many nobles who can't sleep well at night will try to borrow it."
"When the time comes, whether to borrow it or not, and how to borrow it, it's up to you."
Zhao Feng's words moved Li Xuan's heart.
I didn't expect that this Soul Gathering Bell could not only help Li Xuan practice, but also be used to lend to others.
"You don't have to worry about someone borrowing it and not returning it, bullying your Jingyang Palace."
"If there is such a situation, you can come to me, and I will help you settle it."
After hearing Zhao Feng's domineering declaration, Li Xuan couldn't help but smile, wagged his tail, and shouted:
"Meow! (General Manager is awesome!)"
Seeing that Li Xuan rarely praised him, Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile proudly.
As the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhao Feng usually has no shortage of flatterers around him.
But being flattered by Li Xuan, the feeling is particularly different.
"Hmm, it's nothing."
"But now that this Soul Gathering Bell is in your Jingyang Palace, I'm afraid it will discourage many people who want to borrow it."
"After all, this is the cold palace. It's taboo to come here casually."
This statement really poured cold water on Li Xuan.
He originally wanted to use this Soul Gathering Bell to make a fortune by killing those nobles.
Now it seems that he started off badly.
But think about it.
If you can't sleep, then you can't sleep. It's not necessary to come to their cold palace to get bad luck.
I'm afraid that ordinary nobles will not come to borrow this Soul Gathering Bell.
On the contrary, those big figures who have reached a certain level of status and don't care about these taboos at all may come to borrow it.
After all, for these people, sleeping well is more important than anything else, and some taboos are not worth mentioning.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xuan doesn't think it's a bad thing.
This directly raised the threshold for borrowing the Soul Gathering Bell, and also made it easier for them to ask for a high price.
Seeing Li Xuan grinning on the table, Zhao Feng knew that this little cat was up to something bad again.
"Anyway, you just need to know the situation, don't let others cheat you of the treasure."
After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he put the Soul Gathering Bell on the stone table and prepared to leave.
"By the way, the best effect of this Soul Gathering Bell is once a day, and more than that is just a ring."
"The validity period of one time is until the bell stops ringing after it rings."
Zhao Feng was afraid that Li Xuan would disturb the people by ringing the bell all day long, so he quickly reminded him.
Li Xuan meowed casually, indicating that he had taken note.
But his whole body had already climbed onto the Soul Gathering Bell, studying how this broken thing could have such a magical effect.
"Ah Xuan, there is only one of this thing in the world, you must not break it."
Zhao Feng warned with some concern.
Li Xuan waved his paw casually, telling Zhao Feng to go wherever he should go.
Compared to the warm welcome when he came in, Zhao Feng couldn't accept the cold farewell at this time.
"I'd better wait a moment, let Yu'er take me out."
Zhao Feng sat down, not wanting to leave in disgrace under the disgust of the kitten.
He was the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after all, didn't he have any face?
"This old man, it's true."
Li Xuan secretly complained and glanced at Zhao Feng.
Seeing that Zhao Feng noticed his eyes, Li Xuan quickly turned his eyes to the Soul Gathering Bell and pretended not to look at him.
Li Xuan pretended to study the rust on the Soul Gathering Bell carefully, and got away with it.
After looking at it for a long time, the bell was just an ordinary bell, and it was completely incomprehensible why it had such a special effect.
But no matter what, it was a good treasure, and it was a great thing.
"This Emperor Yongyuan is quite particular, knowing how to give rewards for tasks."
Li Xuan's evaluation of Emperor Yongyuan improved a little.
After Yu'er came out, she sent Zhao Feng out as well.
Now only Li Xuan and Yu'er were left in the yard.
"Ah Xuan, do you think His Majesty is concerned about the Highness?"
After Yu'er sat down, she looked at the Soul Gathering Bell and suddenly asked.
Li Xuan was stunned, and he didn't bother to continue studying the Soul Gathering Bell, and looked at Yu'er.
A glimmer of hope appeared in Yu'er's eyes.
She hoped that this was the case, but she didn't dare to hold too much hope.
Yu'er was also afraid that she would be more disappointed after she started to look forward to it.
She was also afraid that her emotions would also make Princess Ankang look forward to it.
Li Xuan knew Yu'er's thoughts, so he shook his head firmly at her.
Yu'er didn't expect Li Xuan's answer to be so firm, but then asked somewhat unconvinced:
"Ah Xuan, why are you so sure?"
Li Xuan didn't say much nonsense, ran to the water tank in the yard, and put his tail in to wet it.
He ran back to Yu'er and wrote a few words on the ground with his tail, briefly explaining that he had helped Emperor Yongyuan a few days ago.
"Is that so..."
Yu'er herself felt that His Majesty would not suddenly reward Princess Ankang with a treasure.
Previously, Jingyang Palace received the reward because Princess Ankang won the competition.
This time, a gift was sent for no reason, and Yu'er couldn't help but have some wild thoughts.
"It's just, Ah Xuan..."
"Did His Majesty not think about Your Highness at all when he sent this clock?"
Yu'er lowered her head and rubbed the ground with her shoes, her disappointment was beyond words.
She couldn't understand why His Majesty hated Princess Ankang so much.
Princess Ankang was obviously the cutest and kindest princess in the world.
Yu'er felt that if she had such a daughter, she would love her too much.
How could she bear to lock her up in a cold palace where no one could leave or enter.
This time, Li Xuan couldn't shake his head firmly again for Yu'er's question.
"Maybe I have thought about it a little bit."
"Otherwise, with so many rare treasures in the palace, why do you have to send a soul-gathering bell that has a calming effect?"
Li Xuan really wanted to comfort Yu'er in this way, but he was afraid that she would have unreasonable expectations.
In Li Xuan's opinion, it was not so important whether Emperor Yongyuan cared about Princess Ankang.
As long as he and Yu'er cared about Princess Ankang, it would be fine.
"Why bother to speculate on other people's illusory love."
"It's enough for me to know who I love."
Li Xuan rubbed Yu'er's cheek and gave her a big kiss, comforting her not to think too much.
