“The Royal Palace…”
Commander Wang's face changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he repelled the imperial troops behind him, leaving one person behind and said in a low voice: "Senior, the Fourteenth Princess, you'd better not go to the palace now!"
Fan Zisang frowned, and Jin Ying's little face showed doubts, and asked aloud: "Why?"
Commander Wang sighed, "This is not the place to talk. Senior and princess, please move aside. Let's change the place and talk in detail."
"Okay, let's just go to the restaurant over there."
Fan Zisang nodded, pointed at the three-story building not far away, and pulled Su Li forward, one on the left and the other on the right. Only then did Commander Wang notice that besides Her Royal Highness, Fan Zisang was accompanied by a girl who looked younger. In terms of appearance, she was even more beautiful than Her Royal Highness.
However, he was worried in his heart and didn't pay much attention to Su Li's existence.
After a while, a group of four people sat down in the elegant room of the restaurant. Commander Wang ordered the waiter to bring tea, organized some conversation, and finally said: "Your Highness, not long after you and the Thirteenth Prince left, the palace has been in chaos. Got it!"
"Your Majesty, he failed to break through in seclusion in the deep palace. Instead, he suffered a backlash and was seriously injured. Although the news was immediately suppressed by the Queen, I don't know who spread it, and it became known to everyone in the entire palace!"
"The princes who were originally honest are all ready to make a move, and the harem is even more chaotic. Every day, many spies sneak in to find out where the emperor is retreating. It is impossible to guard against it! And many little princesses and princes have been poisoned in the palace!"
"Not long ago, I received news that someone saw you in the clothing store. I thought someone was pretending to be you, but I didn't expect it to be true. At this juncture, Your Highness, you must not go back!"
Fan Zisang nodded lightly, observing with his spiritual consciousness, he could naturally see that Commander Wang was sincere in what he said, and there was no deception. The royal family was in turmoil, and if he took action to calm it down, he would not be able to catch it. But... his eyes turned and fell on Jin Ying.
"What about my mother-in-law? Has she been harmed?"
Jin Ying's face was a little pale, she clutched the edge of the tablecloth tightly and stared at Commander Wang and asked.
Commander Wang gave a wry smile. He was very close to Concubine Ling, and he had long expected that the Fourteenth Princess would ask this question, but there was no point in lying now, so he could only tell the truth:
"A few days ago, the palace where Concubine Ling lived was smashed to pieces. Fortunately, Concubine Ling had some cultivation skills and managed to escape without being crushed to death. However, she was slapped in the chest by the thief and she still hasn't woken up. Come."
"What?!"
Jin Ying immediately stood up and looked at Fan Zisang with pleading eyes: "Brother, I want to go to the palace..."
Fan Zisang smiled slightly, touched Jin Ying's head and said, "Go if you want to. Don't be afraid. Senior brother is by your side. Maybe I can heal your mother and concubine's injuries."
Upon hearing this, Jin Ying immediately broke down in tears and laughed, surprised and happy, "Yes, I still have a senior brother, who is a disciple of the peak master. He must have great supernatural powers. It is not difficult to cure the mother and concubine. The king will lead us to enter the palace quickly!"
Commander Wang nodded repeatedly and stood up to lead the way. He was shocked in his heart. He had listened to what Jin Ying said just now. This young man turned out to be the disciple of the peak master of Huajian Sect. Wasn't the fourteenth princess...
Reminiscent of the difficult situation faced by Concubine Ling over the years, Commander Wang let out a long sigh of relief. The concubine was finally able to see the bright moon after the clouds cleared.
Su Li followed Fan Zisang silently with a faint look in her eyes. Ever since she met Commander Wang, she had not said a word and just watched quietly with her eyes.
In her field of vision, Commander Wang was surrounded by a faint layer of black energy. Although it was not obvious, it could be seen clearly with a little attention.
She had been observing Fan Zisang's reaction just now, but she found that he was acting as usual and was not aware of it.
Only I can see it.
Coming to this conclusion, Su Li became more and more thoughtful. Is it the Black Lotus Ring that is causing trouble, or is it... a ghost
Apart from these two things, she really couldn't think of anything that could surpass Fan Zisang.
"Tantai Feng once said that every ghost clan will inspire unique talents and abilities. Although there are many types, all of them are very powerful. The body of a ghost is a taboo for the ghost clan, so there must also be talents. Could it be that this is me? Talent?"
She frowned slightly, but what did this black energy mean
The Black Lotus Ring didn't respond. No one could tell her, so she could only figure it out on her own.
Under the guard of the imperial guards, the group walked through the long palace gate and arrived at the rather deserted square of the front hall. Commander Wang led everyone to the harem without stopping.
Along the way, there were almost no figures of palace maids and eunuchs, but a lot of piled yellow leaves were seen dancing in the wind on the ground. There was a withered and lonely scene everywhere.
Fan Zisang couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. The situation in the palace seemed to be more serious than he imagined.
But at this moment, Commander Wang stopped in front of an old palace with a very small area and mottled walls, and said, "We are here. Concubine Ling will be placed here temporarily."
Jin Ying was stunned and exclaimed: "Isn't this the Cold Palace?! Commander Wang..."
Commander Wang sighed again, but did not say anything, and just let everyone in.
Jin Ying was the first to rush forward and open the door. At a glance, she saw the old palace maid squatting beside the medicine stove in the yard, boiling medicine. When the old palace maid heard the voice, she looked up. When she saw Jin Ying, she was suddenly surprised and happy: "Your Highness, you are back!"
After the words were spoken, the old palace maid remembered something, and her expression immediately changed, "Your Highness, are you not..."
When she recalled the scene a few months ago when His Highness was named by the Thirteenth Prince to be his concubine and went to the Immortal Sect together, she couldn't help but feel a hint of humiliation on her face.
Is it possible that after such a short time, the Thirteenth Prince got tired of playing
"Mother Hui, it's not what you think."
Jin Ying explained something that immediately stunned Nanny Hui. Commander Wang, who was watching anxiously, couldn't help but interrupt: "I will explain this to you later. The first priority is to go see the empress. This is the immortal." Zong Lai’s disciple must have a way to cure the empress!”
Aunt Hui was overjoyed when she heard this. She quickly stood up and saluted Fan Zisang: "Master Immortal, please take care of me."
Fan Zisang didn't say anything, only smiled slightly and said: "Lead the way."
"Okay, okay!"
Aunt Hui opened the door of the side hall, and a group of people filed in. Su Li stepped into the door and saw the dim scene in the room, and couldn't help but pause.
Fan Zisang, who sensed this change, couldn't help but be startled and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
But he saw that this girl's brows had not relaxed during the entire journey.
Su Li shook her head and said nothing. Even if she did, Fan Zisang wouldn't believe it.
The room was filled with visible black air, which became thicker and thicker the further inside she went. The moment she stepped into the room, she could feel a sudden tremor of innate power within her body.
Fan Zisang didn't know why, but now was not the time to explore. He pulled Su Li and continued walking inside, and soon came to
Beside the bed, a pale but beautiful woman lay quietly, her chest rising and falling slightly.
"mother!"
Jin Ying's eyes turned red instantly, and she was about to throw herself to the bed, but she found that Fan Zisang didn't let go of her hand. She looked up in surprise: "Senior brother?"
Fan Zisang frowned tightly. The woman in front of him gave him a very bad feeling, just like... the demon he had met in that place. Her aura was strange and made people feel uncomfortable, as if she was being possessed by some unknown person. Eyes on auspicious things.
He suddenly remembered the meal that Su Li had when he entered the house before. Could it be that... the junior sister had already noticed it at that time.
Fan Zisang lowered his head in surprise and found that Su Li was looking at the woman solemnly. To be precise, it was the woman's shoulder.
dignified
A fourteen-year-old girl would have such a look
Fan Zisang was shocked and confused, but when he looked again, he found that Su Li had a confused look on his face, and his eyes were clear but full of confusion, as if everything he had seen before was an illusion.
"Is it possible that this weird feeling is causing me to hallucinate?!"
Fan Zisang's heart was slightly chilled, and he immediately let go of the two of them with his hands. He shouted softly during the hand seal: "There is spirit in the heaven and earth, and the pure energy of all things gathers together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a light blue circular barrier immediately enveloped everyone in the room, even Concubine Ling, who was lying on the bed.
In Su Li's field of vision, he immediately saw the dark ink-like black energy being squeezed out by the barrier. But in the blink of an eye, the black energy seemed to be boiling, and it crazily penetrated into the barrier, and its direction was towards Concubine Ling. shoulders!
"not good!"
Sensing the strange and crazy aura, Fan Zisang's face turned pale as paper in the blink of an eye, and he immediately sat down cross-legged and frantically kneaded the formula, struggling to resist the black energy that wanted to penetrate the barrier.
Since he had promised his junior sister, he must not break his promise. No matter whether he could save Concubine Ling or not, he would give it a try.
"What's going on? Senior brother, what's wrong with you?!"
Fan Zisang didn't have time to explain. Jin Ying didn't understand the situation and suddenly panicked. Commander Wang and Aunt Hui are also six gods without masters. At their level, they have no access to real cultivation, let alone the methods of foundation-building monks.
"Senior brother..."
Jin Ying looked at Fan Zisang with her eyes closed tightly, and was about to go up and grab his sleeve, but at this moment, a hand stopped her in front of her.
"He can't be distracted now. You take Commander Wang and Aunt Hui and exit first."
Hearing these extremely calm words, Jin Ying suddenly calmed down and saw clearly that it was Su Li who stopped her in front of her.
"Junior sister Su, you must have a way, right?!"
Jin Ying's eyes suddenly lit up. She knew that Su Li had some unknown secrets. Commander Wang and Aunt Hui did look hesitant. This girl looked younger than His Highness, and His Highness called her Junior Sister. It was clear that He entered the family later than His Highness, so how could he possibly be able to do anything about it
Your Highness, is he anxious and confused
"Your Highness, the top priority..."
Commander Wang opened his mouth to speak, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cold voice: "Hurry up and go."
There was a hint of disobedience and gloominess on Su Li's face.
She had to take action, otherwise when Fan Zisang couldn't bear the serious injury, she would lose the power to temporarily protect her, and she would be more likely to be exposed.
Simply, it is better to show off a little here. Fan Zisang has no time to be distracted anyway. As long as he drives out the rest, no one has seen her take action with his own eyes, so there is no way to verify it.
