They smelled the human presence, and their roots pulled out of the soil and moved towards the direction where the people were.
"Qingqing is fine now. Go to bed early. Tomorrow is Qingqing's engagement day. We need to cheer up."
Feng Linjiang said to his wife Du Yueru while undressing.
Du Yueru gnashed her teeth and said, "That damned woman actually poisoned our Qingqing and caused her to faint. If I see her, I will skin her alive!"
Feng Linjiang lay down: "I heard that the man next to her has left. The prince will not let her leave the capital alive. There is no need for you and me to do anything."
"Humph! The prince is also a loser. He was forced to kneel on the ground and couldn't even stand up. He has brought shame to the royal family. Fortunately, Qingqing doesn't really want to marry this loser!"
Du Yueru showed disdain on her face. She always felt that the prince was not worthy of her Qingqing.
Qingqing is the adopted daughter of Emperor Shengyuan and has a noble status. How can a prince of a small country marry into her high status
If it weren't for the spiritual vein of the North Vietnamese royal family, Qingqing wouldn't have to go through such a formality.
She snorted coldly, getting angrier the more she thought about it.
Feng Linjiang sat up immediately, frowned and said, "Keep your voice down, the walls have ears!"
"What are you afraid of in your own home? There are guards everywhere..."
Du Yueru didn't take it seriously. She turned around and took off the hairpin. Suddenly her face changed drastically and she screamed, "There's a ghost!"
Feng Linjiang looked and saw a lot of ghost faces appearing on the window, swaying in the wind and emitting a cold and chilly aura.
"Playing tricks!"
His face darkened and he recognized at a glance that it was the human-faced flower from the daytime. He took out his weapon and chopped at it.
Du Yueru shrank back in fear, but she didn't see a human face suddenly pop out from under the bed, opening its mouth and biting her ankle.
The blood flowed out quickly, and Du Yueru was so frightened that she fainted.
Feng Linjiang was furious and rushed over to kill the dead flower that sucked Du Yueru's blood.
At the same time, screams were heard throughout the general's mansion, one after another. If you didn't know, you would think that a family massacre had occurred in the general's mansion.
Although Hunduanhua was hacked to death in the end, everyone in the general's mansion was still frightened. Some servants even said privately that it was the ghost of the second young lady who came back to seek revenge.
Feng Wanqing knew nothing about this. She slept in the palace all night. The engagement banquet was not until noon, and after breakfast she had to go back to the general's mansion.
"Where are my elder and second brothers?"
"To reply young lady, the Crown Prince Shengyuan and the Second Prince had to return to Shengyuan Empire last night for urgent matters. They said that you could use the sound transmission stone to contact them after you wake up."
Feng Wanqing's face darkened.
What urgent matter could have caused him to put aside such an important matter as her engagement party
She was also counting on them to give her enough face so that Xiao Chuhan would increase her dowry!
"My mother is not in good health. My brother and I have already returned."
Feng Wanqing sent a message to her second brother through the voice stone, but received this reply.
Her face instantly darkened. It was just that her mother was not feeling well, but she didn't even attend her engagement party. It was really disrespectful to her.
The Queen Mother has always been in poor health, and it has not been just one or two days. Is it worth it for them to go back so anxiously
However, what she didn't know was that Baili Xuanyuan was afraid that she would worry and that it would affect her engagement party, so he didn't tell her the truth.
In fact, it was because the emperor and empress suddenly had a headache and insisted on going to the demon battlefield to find their daughter.
Even the Emperor couldn't stop her. But when they got there, her attacks became even more severe. She kept shouting "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu" and finally showed signs of becoming possessed.
If the Emperor hadn't knocked her out and used his spiritual power to relieve her pain, an irreversible situation might have occurred.
The Emperor and Empress were still unconscious. They were fed a bottle of holy fruit juice obtained specially from the ancient holy country of Tiandou, which stabilized their vital signs.
Baili Haoxuan, Baili Xuanyuan, the third prince Baili Qingxuan and the fourth prince Baili Mingxuan all returned to the Holy Palace. They saw that their father had white hair overnight, as if he had aged several years, and they felt very heavy.
They didn't dare to let their mother wake up, fearing that she would really go crazy.
Once a cultivator is possessed by the devil, not only will his cultivation level decline, but his temperament will also change drastically, making it difficult for him to advance in the future. He may even end up becoming a devil cultivator, full of evil intent, who takes pleasure in killing.
Many monks who have gone astray will be killed because of the fear that they will cause harm to the people.
Back then, Baili Haoxuan and his uncle disappeared without a trace overnight because he became possessed by a demon, and there has been no news of him for more than ten years.
"If Xiaowu were still alive, Mother would not be like this."
The fourth prince Baili Qingxuan pursed his lips and said.
But everyone knows that under those circumstances, it was impossible for Xiaowu to survive.
The devil kidnapped Xiaowu, and they only found a bloody swaddling cloth, the blood on which was left by Xiaowu.
She was just born and had lost so much blood. Even if the devil hadn't eaten her, she would have had little chance of surviving.
But because Xiaowu's body was nowhere to be found, the Queen Mother felt that she must still be alive, and this became the Queen Mother's obsession.
The obsession grew deeper and deeper, and finally gave rise to inner demons.
It was also because the Queen Mother felt that Xiaowu was still alive. After adopting Feng Wanqing, she kept thinking, if Xiaowu came back and saw that they raised someone else as their daughter, would she be unhappy
But Feng Wanqing was also very pitiful. She was so thin and small in her cradle, as if she was born prematurely. Her mother empathized with her and thought that Feng Wanqing's parents would surely be very sad, so she brought her back to the palace to raise her while she looked for her parents.
After that, the Queen Mother's health deteriorated day by day. Perhaps it was the mixture of two thoughts that kept her awake at night. Finally, the Queen Mother made up her mind to send Feng Wanqing away.
They had even found adoptive parents for Feng Wanqing. Just at this time, Feng Wanqing's biological aunt came to visit, and they sent Feng Wanqing to her aunt.
"What should I do?"
Looking at his mother's comatose appearance, Baili Xuanyuan was filled with worry.
At this time, Baili Haoxuan suddenly raised his head and said to the Emperor who was sitting beside the bed.
"Father, I have a solution."
"What do you have in mind?" the Emperor asked, his voice a little hoarse.
Baili Haoxuan cast a barrier, and only they could hear what he said. He said, "The Queen Mother is sick from missing Xiao Wu. Perhaps, we can find someone to pretend to be Xiao Wu and help the Queen Mother get through this crisis safely."
"What!"
Several younger brothers showed disapproval.
Not to mention where they can find a replacement for Xiaowu, if the Queen Mother finds out, wouldn’t the condition become more serious
"I disagree. No one can replace the real Xiaowu."
The third prince Baili Qingxuan frowned and said.
The Emperor didn't say anything. He was thinking about whether this matter was feasible.
Baili Haoxuan said: "The Queen Mother's condition is already very bad. What we need to do now is to stabilize her condition and prevent the inner demon from growing. Finding a suitable substitute is the only way at the moment."
Because there is no other way.
Han Yue’s figure suddenly flashed through Baili Xuanyuan’s mind.
He said, "If you must find a replacement, Father, I have a candidate."
