Outside of Time

Grandma Sun's words made everyone in the banquet lower their heads to hide their expressions.

Because some people are taboo and cannot be mentioned.

Princess Anhai also had a bright eye. She knew her as a wet nurse, and knew that when she was young, she not only had a wide range of contacts, but also had good skills.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be both her own wet nurse and the fifth prince's wet nurse.

It is even more impossible to live in the palace until now and still be rewarded by the emperor to retire and return to his hometown.

This all shows that the wet nurse has a wise mind and is loyal to the emperor.

Therefore, based on the experience of a wet nurse, she naturally knows that words are often both a weapon and an attitude. Any word has more than just the meaning expressed on the surface.

So being able to say the words just now here is naturally of profound significance.

Princess Anhai was thoughtful and couldn't help but glance at the kind-hearted wet nurse beside her. She couldn't find any trace of her background before entering the palace. She had no way of knowing or checking it.

She just knew that the other party had a daughter, but she died young, and then her mother asked her to move her into the palace and become her wet nurse.

The royal wet nurse is not just a simple nurse, but also has a special identity.

In order to prevent the harem from interfering in politics and affecting the dignity of the royal family, the royal family used some methods to dilute the relationship between the prince and his biological mother, and wet nurses were part of this process.

Responsible for the daily life, companionship, early teaching and guidance of the prince and princess until they reach adulthood.

The wet nurse has replaced the mother's role and accompanied her day and night, so the formation of the prince's outlook on life and values ​​will be affected by the wet nurse. The wet nurse will directly affect the prince's attitude towards doing things in the future and the means of handling some things.

Therefore, in the royal family, the wet nurse is both a teacher and a mother.

While Princess Anhai was deep in thought, Grandma Sun patted her arm gently. Princess Anhai quickly raised her head, with an instinctive smile on her face, and looked at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan's expression was a little complicated.

Grandma Sun's words reminded him of his mother, followed by melancholy and memories buried deep in his heart.

He could no longer remember what his mother looked like.

And his mother's name has become a taboo in the imperial capital. No one dares to mention it. In his memory, this is the first time he heard someone mention it after his mother passed away.

So Ning Yan took a deep breath, stood up, walked in front of Grandma Sun, cupped his fists and bowed.

Grandma Sun looked at Ning Yan with a friendly smile and summoned him to the other side of her.

He even put Ning Yan's palm in his own.

But she sighed in her heart. She naturally knew the purpose of An Hai bringing Ning Yan, but after she left the imperial capital, she was not willing to get involved.

After all, the death of King Tianlan and the decree of the Human Emperor all contained the implication that there might be a storm to seize the heir, which was about to arise in the imperial capital.

Another important point is Ning Yan...

The history that was once suppressed is unknown to future generations, but she has witnessed the rise of Ning Yan's mother, her amazing talent, and even the bloody tragedy overnight and the death of another prince.

That was Ning Yan's twin brother.

Ning Yan, from that day on, was deliberately alienated.

Therefore, she had been indifferent but not malicious towards Ning Yan and Xu Qing, and they were on the same page as each other.

But the arrival of Emperor Lingxia made everything different.

Although she wouldn't throw everything in, she still needed proper care, hence her previous words and her current actions.

And behind everyone at the banquet, there is an inextricable connection with the imperial capital.

My words and actions will soon be known to some thoughtful people.

This is enough.

In this way, when the banquet was in progress and the moon was in the sky, Emperor Lingxia stretched, stood up and left. Xu Qing also stood up and said goodbye to Grandma Sun.

Looking at Xu Qing, Nanny Sun had a deep meaning in her eyes. After thinking about it, she simply took out three jade slips and handed them to Ning Yan who was standing aside.

After Ning Yan arrived in the imperial capital, he asked Ning Yan to give it to three old friends on his behalf.

Ning Yan instinctively looked at Xu Qing, Xu Qing nodded slightly, so Ning Yan took a deep breath and took it solemnly.

Then, leave.

On the way back to the teleportation array, under the moonlight, Ning Yan was obviously reminded of the past and felt depressed, silently following Xu Qing.

Halfway through, Xu Qing patted Ning Yan on the shoulder.

"It's okay. No matter what, you are the sword holder of Fenghai County."

Xu Qing's words fell in Ning Yan's ears, and Ning Yan's heart felt warm. After taking a long breath, he spoke softly.

"Thank you, boss."

"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just afraid of embarrassing you. As a prince, I actually have no status in the imperial capital. I'm marginalized and no one has contact with me."

"I know the reason. It's because of my mother. She is a taboo in the imperial capital..."

"I originally had an older brother. We are twins. He is more decisive than me, his brain is smarter than mine, and he is better than me in everything. Although he is taciturn, nothing seems to be difficult for him."

"And he was also very good to me. I was a little cowardly when I was a child, and he was protecting me. But he also died. The day after my mother died, he died, and everyone in the house died with him. , except for the most useless me.”

"Then I was in the imperial capital, helpless and could only be cautious and alone."

"The great imperial city of Nuo..."

Ning Yan felt bitter and shook his head.

"It wasn't until a few years later that I received a decree from my father. He asked me to go to Fenghai County, where I could remain anonymous and record everything silently."

"Then I met you, the boss."

Ning Yan looked at Xu Qing. Under the moonlight, in the wilderness, he confided words that he would never say to outsiders, because along the way, Xu Qing unknowingly felt closer and closer to his brother in his feelings. More and more alike.

Xu Qing looked up at the sky. No one knew who he was thinking of... After a long time, he raised his hand and rubbed Ning Yan's hair.

"After we go to the imperial capital, if you are not happy, let's go back to Fenghai County together."

"Yeah!" Ning Yan nodded vigorously.

Xu Qing smiled and continued moving forward.

In the moonlight, they walked farther and farther until they disappeared into the horizon.

A few days later, the ancient teleportation array in Tai'an County was opened. Xu Qing and his party left in the teleportation array, and there were others with them.

That is Princess Anhai.

She arrived before the teleportation array was opened, and headed to the Imperial Capital Territory with Xu Qing and the others.

As the light of the formation disappeared, three domains away from the Gray Sea, on a vast land, in a huge formation, the light shone inside.

The size of this formation far exceeds all the ancient teleportation formations Xu Qing has seen along the way. It is three times as big, and the material is even more amazing. They are all made of high-quality spiritual stones, and there are several other formations around this teleportation formation. Unclear boulders.

Each one was engraved with runes, emitting terrifying fluctuations.

Further away, there is a military camp.

Their duty is to guard the teleportation array, and there are human sergeants patrolling in all directions at all times.

And there is not one such formation on this land, each has a different destination, and there are also many military camps here.

As for this land, it is circular!

It is like a ring, with a range as large as many smaller domains.

But here, it is only a part of the human royal capital.

Within this ring-shaped earth, separated by a sea of ​​nothingness, there is another ring-shaped earth, and even deeper. There are hundreds of such ring-shaped earths, one inside another.

And in the very center surrounded by hundreds of rings, there is a huge star. It is so majestic and majestic that its shadow can be faintly seen even from a long distance.

It is not formed from soil, but from a gaseous state!

There are clouds and mist on it, and sometimes whirlpools appear like storms one after another, accompanied by lightning and rumbling sounds that echo in all directions.

This is a huge and stunning gas star.

The rings around the stars are one ring-shaped continent after another.

And beneath this huge star is a pitch-black abyss.

"This is the Imperial Capital Territory!"

"The entire imperial capital area can actually be seen as suspended in the air. Below the area is an abyss with no bottom. Few people know what really exists inside. However, there are legends that it leads to a place called Huangtian."

"And the Imperial Capital Territory itself looks like an astonishing gaseous star. It was refined from the sky by the ancient Emperor Xuanyou countless years ago and used as his ancient palace. It is now the ancestral land of my human race."

"Even the heirs of the royal family are not qualified to enter the interior of the gaseous star. Only the human emperor and the future prince are qualified to enter the interior of the star to worship their ancestors."

"And the one hundred layers of star rings surrounding this gaseous star are where the people of our race live. What we stand under is the outermost layer. It looks like the earth, but it is actually formed by light solidified by magical power."

"These star rings go from the outside to the inside. The closer they are to the gaseous star, the higher the requirements and level of living are. As for the innermost layer... it is the imperial capital of my human race."

On the outermost ring of the gas star, as the teleportation array shone, the figures of Xu Qing and his party appeared together with Princess An Hai.

The moment she appeared, Princess Anhai's voice came out.

Everyone from Fenghai County was also shocked by the vast scene in front of them. Even if they could not see too much due to their cultivation, Princess Anhai's words spread out a scene in the hearts of every Fenghai County monk. .

However, the captain curled his lips and didn't pay attention, while Zixuan stared at the shadow of the stars with confusion in his eyes.

Although the others were shocked, they quickly suppressed the emotions in their hearts, recovered, and fell silent. Xu Qing also withdrew his gaze, glanced at Princess An Hai beside him, and nodded slightly.

Princess Anhai's expression was as usual, but she was very surprised in her heart. She knew that the Human Race Royal Capital Territory was the first Wanggu Territory created by the ancient emperor, so it was different from ordinary great territories. It was difficult to feel calmly for the first time. The monks from Fenghai County had also done it before. In this way, recovery is too fast.

But she quickly suppressed her surprise and continued to walk with Xu Qing and the others. In this way, a few days passed, and under the arrangement of Princess Anhai, they teleported all the way to the innermost imperial capital.

As it gets closer and closer, the huge gas star becomes more and more clearly visible to everyone.

On the stars shrouded in clouds and mist, as the clouds and mist flowed, occasionally a vast and astonishing statue of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou was revealed, as if a veil had been lifted.

The statue is sitting cross-legged and meditating on this star. Although it is a dead thing, its expression is lifelike and its momentum is overwhelming.
