"This... Okay, I'll take it. Oh, I have something for you too." As soon as she reached out, a medicine bottle appeared in Ling'er's hand. "The medicine inside can remove the poison in your body. Here is a prescription. Follow the instructions and soak your body in it. After three months, your body will recover."
Taking the things Ling'er handed over, Feng Yinyin took her hand. No words could express her gratitude to her. She believed that Ling'er understood her feelings. In the end, it came down to two words, "Take care."
Ling'er shook her hand back, nodded at her, turned around and started to leave.
"Little Gray, you haven't seen the outside world yet, right? From now on, just follow me and enjoy the good life, and you will be at the peak of your life."
"Miss, Xiao Huihui is not a spiritual pet. Can he understand what you are saying?" Zi Xi said with a smile while making tea.
Ling'er looked at Xiao Huihui who was always lying lazily in her arms, raised her eyebrows and lowered the car window curtain.
"I think it can understand. After all, its master is so smart." Ling'er has always named children according to their colors. This little guy is silver, so he should have been named Xiaoyin, but she always felt that it sounded weird, so she named him Xiaohuihui.
"The young lady is right." Zi Xi is a young lady's slave. As long as the young lady says it, it is right even if it is nonsense.
Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the air, and Emperor Shitian, who had been concentrating, opened his eyes. Then the carriage stopped, and a male voice came from outside the carriage.
"Your Majesty, there is urgent news."
"Show it up."
Looking at the note handed in by the shadow guard, Di Shitian's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of joy, but it was very faint. If you were not very familiar with Di Shitian, you would not be able to see it at all.
Ling'er felt curious, so she moved forward to peek.
But before he could do anything, he heard Emperor Shi Tian say, "The wedding is ready, just waiting for the king to return." This was the content on the note, and Emperor Shi Tian read it out directly. Then he turned his head slightly and looked at Ling'er who was about to get up. That expression seemed to say, don't you want to read it? Don't bother, I'll read it to you.
For some reason, after hearing the contents of the note, Ling'er felt no joy in her heart, and the smile on her face even froze for a moment. But it was only for a moment, and she was able to hide this emotion that shouldn't have appeared very well. Even so, it was still caught by Emperor Shi Tian.
"Little thing, are you feeling unwell somewhere?" He reached out to touch Ling'er's forehead, and Ling'er subconsciously leaned back.
"No, I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I just feel a little stuffy in this car. I'll just get off and get some fresh air." After he finished speaking, he immediately stood up and jumped off the carriage with quick movements.
Emperor Shitian frowned slightly and then got out of the car.
After getting off the car, Ling'er walked to the creek not far away and stared at the gurgling water. Gradually, the image of Emperor Shi Tian was reflected in the water. The wind blew and the image was blown away. Ling'er took out the sachet that Feng Yinyin gave her and sniffed it.
"Why is this happening?" Feng Yinyin said that their ancestral Tianxiang Meigu powder was added to the silk thread of this sachet, and the fox's eyes on it were condensed with a lover's tear of their ancestor. Therefore, after wearing this sachet, it can not only make the wearer's face radiant, but also promote her relationship with her lover. When her lover approaches, she can't help but want to go... But why, when facing Emperor Shitian, she actually had an urge to escape.
Just as Ling'er was lost in thought, a figure approached and patted her shoulder, and Ling'er was startled.
"Miss, did I scare you? I'm sorry."
Ling'er turned around and saw that it was Zi Xi. She was really scared just now and her heart was still beating fast.
"It's okay, it's okay. I was distracted just now. It's not your fault." I don't know what's wrong with me recently. I always feel a little uneasy. The little gray cat in my arms suddenly moved, jumped onto Ling'er's shoulder, stretched out its pink little tongue, and licked Ling'er's cheek. It seemed that it also felt Ling'er's uneasiness and tried to calm her emotions in this way.
Ling'er patted its head with relief, "You still have a conscience, it's worth my love for you."
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are you so uneasy? This is not like your usual style." In the past, no matter what happened, the young lady was always calm and steady like a mountain, and had never been as absent-minded as she is now.
Even Zi Xi could see the difference, how could Di Shi Tian not see it? After Ling Er got off the car, Di Shi Tian did not follow her immediately, but watched her quietly from a distance. His eyes were deep, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Because of this sudden situation, God Killing Heaven didn't say anything along the way.
Ling'er didn't say anything either. The car was silent and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
Although Zi Xi was anxious, she couldn't figure out the situation and didn't know what to do. She could only accompany them in silence.
In the Demon City, Ling'er's relatives have already arrived. Emperor Shitian had already made arrangements for all matters related to the wedding before he set out, so he received such a message. Emperor Shitian suggested that they hold the wedding in the Demon Realm first, and then return to Ling's home and hold another one there. In this way, relatives and friends on both sides can be taken care of.
Because the ceremony in the Demon Realm was coming up, all of Ling'er's relatives were brought to the Demon Realm early to wait.
After Ling'er returned to the Demon Palace, she locked herself up for half a day without coming out. She only said to others that she was tired from traveling and wanted to take a nap. But such a reason could not be hidden from Emperor Shitian.
"Yingyi, select half of the elite troops to guard around the queen's bedroom and protect it secretly. Report immediately if there is any trouble." In the main hall, Emperor Shitian gave the order expressionlessly.
Ying Yi was confused, but since it was the order from His Majesty, he just followed it. "I obey your command."
"Be careful not to let the queen notice."
"yes."
"Ying Er, have all the people from the Ling family been settled?"
"Everything has been arranged in Yuhe Garden according to His Majesty's instructions." Although Yuhe Garden is a magnificent building, comparable to the second royal palace, it is a bit remote and far away from the royal palace, and one has to go through a bamboo forest in the middle. The bamboo forest is arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams, and ordinary people can't walk out at all. Ying Er really couldn't understand why the Ling family was arranged there? Could it be that His Majesty was worried that some powerful enemies would come to disrupt the wedding
"Everyone in the Ling family has been settled, but the young master refused to go. He insisted on waiting for the queen to return to the palace. I couldn't persuade him, so I let him stay in Yiyuan for a while."
"Jun Liufeng should be with him." Ling'er had asked Jun Liufeng to take care of Emperor Jun Yu before, so he should have stayed with him all the time.
"Yes, sir. Young Master Jun said that he would take care of the young master personally and would not leave no matter what, as long as he was allowed to live with the young master."
“Hehe, they seem different but they have something in common. For her, no matter what he has forgotten, he is still so persistent.” As if realizing his own gaffe, Di Shitian returned to his usual cold appearance and ordered everyone to go away.
But his evil smile just now really surprised everyone, because it was a look they had never seen on their Lord before.
The news of Ling'er's return was soon known to Emperor Jun Yu. Although the people in the Demon Palace had tried their best to conceal it, Emperor Jun Yu was not an ordinary child, and his methods were even comparable to those of a shrewd adult.
"My mother is back. I'm going to see her." Looking at the many servants outside the window who were supposed to take care of him but were actually monitoring him, Dijun Yu said calmly. This time when he came back, he felt that something big was going to happen. Everything was too abnormal, not like that man's style. Because he didn't know what happened on this trip, it was hard to judge. The most urgent thing now was to see his mother immediately, because only she could answer his questions.
Jun Liufeng was playing with the jade flute, seemingly with a cynical attitude, but in fact he had already surveyed the surroundings. In addition to the maids and servants in the open, there were many masters hidden in places they could not see. It was difficult to leave here without the master's permission.
"I know this is a dead end, but if we don't break it, we can't stand it. Only if we take the initiative to break it can we turn passivity into initiative and have a chance of survival. Let me wait here like fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered? Impossible." His tone was gentle and his expression was calm. Because of the spiritual barrier, others could not hear their conversation.
Jun Liufeng was no longer surprised by Di Junyu's precocity and wisdom. He didn't treat him as a child at all, but more like a friend or an ally.
"Just tell me what you want. Since you can say that, I think you have already made some plans in mind. Just tell me, and I will cooperate with you."
Emperor Jun Yu looked back, looked at Jun Liufeng deeply, and then spoke.
Jun Liufeng listened and said nothing, but just nodded...
Ling'er was also in a state of panic, because all these abnormalities made her decide to postpone the wedding. When she told Di Shitian about this decision, she thought that Di Shitian would indulge her as usual, but the reality was the opposite. Di Shitian refused without hesitation. Even at that moment, she clearly felt the anger from Di Shitian. After that, he ordered someone to take her back to the room and even strengthened the guards around her.
Ling'er was originally uncertain, but after this series of events, she became more certain. Something had happened to Emperor Shi Tian, or that person was not the same Emperor Shi Tian as before. Because she knew Tian Tian, he would never treat her like that. Although she didn't know what had happened to Emperor Shi Tian, she was sure that this marriage could not be concluded, at least not before Emperor Shi Tian recovered.
Although the area was heavily guarded, she could still escape if she tried her best. But what she was worried about now was...
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss? Miss, are you awake?" It was Zi Xi.
"Come in."
Zi Xi pushed the door open and walked in, holding a food box in her hand. "Miss, this is the cake your mother made for you and the young master. She sent it over. Do you want to have some?"
Mother! And Yu'er! Damn it, the thing she was worried about still happened. Yu'er was also in the palace! And the people of the Ling family!
"Is Yu'er also in the palace? How come I didn't know about it? Since Yu'er is in the palace, why don't you take me to see him? I miss him so much." Ling'er didn't show any abnormality, nor did she say anything to Zi Xi. After all, Zi Xi was someone given to him by Emperor Shi Tian, so at this critical moment, it was better to be cautious.
"Didn't the young master come to meet the young lady? That's strange. Did the young master just go out?" She thought about it and this was the only possibility.
"That should be the case, otherwise the boy would have come running here." Ling'er picked up a piece of cake and chewed it slowly. Yes, it tasted like my mother. "Where do my mother and her family live now? I miss them a little bit." This is a common human emotion and not a strange question. Regardless of whether Zi Xi is an enemy or not, there is no reason to find fault with her.
Zi Xi's hand holding the plate paused for a moment, and then said, "I really don't know this, but I heard from the guard who delivered the cakes that His Majesty arranged them in a very gorgeous garden, which is in no way inferior to the imperial palace. But this is normal. His Majesty loves the young lady so much, so he will naturally treat the young lady's family with courtesy. Food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be the best. Don't worry, young lady." As she spoke, her face showed a happy expression, as if the young lady's happiness was her happiness.
"If we talk about a building comparable to the Imperial Palace, then it is only Yuhe Garden. It was originally built for His Majesty to cool off, so it is extremely luxurious. Moreover, the terrain there is hidden and can resist powerful enemies. It can be said to be the safest place in the entire Demon Realm. The safety factor is far beyond that of the Imperial Palace. Your Majesty is really thoughtful. He can even think of that place. It is safe, elegant, quiet and gorgeous. It is simply impeccable. Your Majesty is really considerate to the young lady."
"Yes, it's really thoughtful." Ling'er ate the cakes and deliberately prolonged her tone, which had a deep meaning. However, Zixi didn't hear it and just kept feeling happy for the young lady.
The safety factor is higher than that of the underground palace. This is really thoughtful. But I don't know whether this intention is used to deal with others or myself.
Ling's Yu'er is in his hands, so she must think carefully if she wants to escape. This is clearly to force her to submit.
At this moment, Ling'er suddenly smelled a familiar scent and her face changed slightly.
"Okay Zi Xi, you go down first. I'll take a rest for a while. You don't have to bring me lunch. I just ate some pastries and I feel a little bloated. I'm getting married soon, and I can't be so fat that I can't even wear my wedding dress." Ling'er said with a smile, as if joking.
After hearing this, Zi Xi also covered her mouth and laughed, "I obey your command. Miss, you should have a good rest." After saying that, she left the room.
Listening to the footsteps outside gradually fading away, Ling'er slowly moved forward, and after making sure that there was no one outside the door, she formed seals with her hands to create an isolation barrier.
"Yu'er, is that you?" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a figure bumping into her. Ling'er subconsciously bent down and hugged the person in her arms.
"Mom, Yu'er misses you so much." He rubbed his little face against Ling'er's neck, his tone was soft and tender, and he sounded very aggrieved. "Mom, where have you been? There has been no news for so long, Yu'er is so worried about you."
"Mom misses you too. Yu'er, just take care of yourself. Don't worry about mom. Come and let mom see if Yu'er has been eating well recently and if he has grown taller." She slowly pushed the little person in her arms away, and then looked at him carefully.
Emperor Junyu looked around vigilantly, then looked at Ling'er.
"Mom has set up a barrier, so no one will hear it, don't worry." It seems that Yu'er has also noticed the abnormality in the palace.
"Mother, what happened between you and him? Why did he act like this?"
Ling'er shook her head. "In fact, the reason for this matter, mother is also confused. I just don't know why your father... Demon Lord suddenly changed his temperament. Mother is also puzzled about his change. You should also understand the current situation."
"Then what do you want to do, mother?" It is not their character to sit and wait for death.
"This wedding cannot take place. I must find out the reason why Emperor Shi Tian changed. So the most urgent thing is to find your grandmother and the others. Only by ensuring their safety can mother get away with peace of mind."
"Leave grandma and the others to Yu'er. Yu'er will definitely bring them out safely."
Ling'er knew about Emperor Yu's methods, so she did not object to his proposal.
"Yu'er, you have to be careful too. You must protect yourself and never do anything that is not feasible. Your safety is the most important thing."
