Chapter 1137 Taboo
Shen Qingzhu, dressed in tight clothes, stood beside Bai Qingyan, looking at the great wizard’s disciple with a stern expression.
Yang Wuce also stood aside and signaled the jailer to move the brazier closer to Bai Qingyan.
The soldiers who came to interrogate the disciple of the great wizard were those under Yang Wuce. They said that they had learned some tricks from the interrogation department of the Zhao family army before. Although their methods were not as cruel as those of the Zhao family army, they were more torturous. Anyone who was interrogated by them would confess.
Just now, Bai Qingyan didn’t want to make Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinzhi worry, so she let them send her back to her residence. After they left, she came to the dungeon with Shen Qingzhu.
“Bring a chair to the disciple of the Great Wizard of Tianfeng Kingdom.” Bai Qingyan gently stroked the hand warmer with silver and plum carvings, his brows indifferent and calm.
Soon, the disciple of the great wizard of Tianfeng Kingdom was pulled up and pressed on a chair. He tried his best to hold the armrests of the chair with his bloody hands to prevent himself from slipping, but as soon as he exerted force, his hands, which had no nails, felt piercing pain.
“Greetings to the Emperor of the Great Zhou…” The Great Wizard disciple nodded slightly towards Bai Qingyan.
“Today is New Year’s Eve. I don’t know if Tianfeng Kingdom has this custom of celebrating the New Year, but we in the Great Zhou do eat dumplings during the New Year!” Bai Qingyan turned around and glanced at Wei Zhong.
The young eunuch Wei Zhong took the dumplings out of the black lacquered and gold-painted food box and placed them in front of the great wizard’s disciple, still steaming hot.
The Great Wizard disciple, who hadn’t eaten for a long time, felt a lump in his throat. But when he thought about what the Great Zhou jailers had just said, that these dumplings were made with the giant elephants of their Tianfeng country, he couldn’t eat anymore…
The giant elephant is the sacred object of their Tianfeng Kingdom and the symbol of the Tianfeng Kingdom!
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but… the giant elephant is a sacred symbol in our Tianfeng Kingdom. Eating a giant elephant is a sin that even the gods cannot forgive!” The disciple of Tianfeng Kingdom raised his head and looked at Bai Qingyan, and said in a hoarse voice, “Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
Bai Qingyan nodded and said with a smile: “Although I don’t know that the giant elephant is the symbol of Tianfeng Country, but the giant elephant fights with you, I know that the giant elephant is your close partner, so… this is a plate of vegetarian dumplings specially made for you. If your hands can’t move, you can let someone feed you.”
The jailer was also a man with good eyesight. He quickly used chopsticks to split a dumpling into two halves, allowing the great wizard disciple to see clearly that it was vegetarian. Then he put one half to the disciple’s mouth.
“I’ve actually known about the jade cicada a long time ago…” Seeing that the great wizard’s disciple had already eaten his dumplings, Bai Qingyan spoke slowly, “Li Zhijie told me clearly, which is why your Tianfeng country insisted on having Li Zhijie. After all, there is already a jade cicada in our Great Zhou. As long as I take the jade cicada from Sar Khan, maybe I can try to go back in time.”
The Great Wizard disciple paused while chewing his dumplings, raised his eyes to look at Bai Qingyan, and said, “This jade cicada belongs to the royal family of Tianfeng Kingdom. No one except the royal bloodline of Tianfeng Kingdom can use it…”
“You are not being honest.” Bai Qingyan chuckled and stared at the Great Wizard’s disciple. “No one has ever lied to me. I came here today just to ask you, you said that the reason why Sar Khan was unwilling to confront the Great Zhou and Yan Kingdom head-on was because the gods had chosen a master for this land? Then… do you know who this master is?”
The Great Wizard’s disciple looked nervous. He looked at Bai Qingyan and said, “It’s either His Majesty the Great Zhou, or the Ninth Prince of Yan, or… it’s your child, or the Ninth Prince of Yan’s child, or your future child.”
The disciple of the Great Witch believed in his heart that the child must be the child of the Emperor of the Great Zhou and the Ninth Prince of the Yan Kingdom. He chose to tell Bai Qingyan in the hope that Bai Qingyan could really give birth to a child with the Ninth Prince of the Great Yan Kingdom. As long as the master chosen by God for this land is born, their Tianfeng Kingdom can kill the master of this land and occupy this ownerless land.
“So, although Sar Khan knew about it, he didn’t dare to kill me and the Ninth Prince of Dayan at the same time. Did he think that if he started the war in winter when your elephant army was not at an advantage, and offended the Zhou and Yan countries, he would not gain any advantage?” Bai Qingyan asked.
The eyes of the Great Wizard’s disciple flickered. He did not plan to kill the Emperor of Great Zhou and the Ninth Prince of Dayan because the master chosen by God for this continent had not yet appeared. Killing the Emperor of Great Zhou or the Ninth Prince of Dayan would not be considered killing the master of this land.
“Yes…” the Great Wizard’s disciple responded.
“I’ve said before, no one can deceive me with lies.” Bai Qingyan leaned forward slightly, “But even if you don’t tell the truth, I will let you go today!”
The great wizard’s disciple looked up suddenly.
“Go back and tell Sar Khan that it would be fine if he just obediently takes his elephant army back to the other side of the snowy mountain!” Bai Qing’s words were calm, but for some reason they carried a murderous intent that made people’s backs cold. “If he still has delusions and wants to lay his hands on our land and enslave our people, the corpses of your Tianfeng elephant army will become food for our Zhou army! We don’t have as many taboos about giant elephants as you people of Tianfeng.”
The Great Wizard’s disciple’s throat was churning and he said nothing.
Bai Qingyan stood up slowly and straightened his sleeves: “After eating dumplings, Da Zhou will not keep you here. Bring my words to Sar Khan as soon as possible!”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan took Shen Qingzhu and Wei Zhong away.
As they walked out of the prison, Shen Qingzhu helped Bai Qingyan get on the carriage when he heard Bai Qingyan say to Wei Zhong, “Send a capable person to follow the disciple of the Tianfeng Kingdom’s Great Wizard. He must have a way to find Sar Khan.”
“Yes!” Wei Zhong responded.
Bai Qingyan then took Shen Qingzhu’s hand, bent down and entered the carriage.

Queen Mother Yan personally went into the kitchen to prepare a New Year’s Eve dinner, waiting for Murong Li and Murong Yan to celebrate New Year’s Eve together. However, she heard that Murong Yan and Murong Li had gone out to patrol the camp, so she had to sit under the lamp and wait quietly.
She looked at the red lanterns swaying outside the window, and thought of the words her son Murong Li said to her later that hurt Murong Yan’s heart, and she felt guilty. After all… if Murong Yan really wanted the throne, he could have legitimately inherited the throne long ago when Murong Yu left the imperial edict for him to inherit the throne.
Queen Mother Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to her brother-in-law and mention the marriage of Murong Yan and Meng Zhaorong. Once Murong Yan and Meng Zhaorong got married and their hearts stayed in Yan State, she would not be afraid that Murong Yan would always be thinking about the Emperor of Zhou and the child in his belly.
Seeing that the food was getting cold and uncle Murong Li and his nephew had not returned yet, Queen Mother Yan clutched her handkerchief and kept looking out.
The maidservant of Queen Mother Yan picked up a few pieces of red-hot charcoal from the charcoal basin and put them into the foot warmer under Queen Mother Yan’s feet. She also added a few pieces of charcoal to the gilded auspicious beast bronze furnace and closed the lid…
