In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
There are only five days left before the wedding day of the third princess Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng.
It stands to reason that on this great day of universal celebration, everyone should be beaming with joy.
However, the atmosphere in Xiling City was inexplicably gloomy and depressing.
Even the usually lively streets were much deserted.
This is all because a series of strange things have happened in Xiling City recently.
—Disciples of many sects have mysteriously disappeared recently.
The most important thing is that they are all geniuses in practicing the original meridians of the earth!
At first, three people from the Lingyun Sect were missing. Although everyone was surprised, they only thought that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, which caused such trouble.
In addition, after the third princess sent the Black Cavalry Army to support, this matter never happened again in Lingyun Sect, so everyone did not take it to heart.
But such peaceful days were soon broken.
Because the same thing began to happen in other sects!
As for those who had trouble, they were basically among the top sects in Xiling City. There were a few capable geniuses, but they were not among the top sects.
For example, existences like Longya Mountain have always been peaceful.
On the contrary, those at the same level as Lingyun Sect began to encounter accidents one after another.
When more than five original earth meridian geniuses were missing in Xiling City, everyone finally realized that the matter was much more serious than they thought!
The other party has made it clear that they specifically select such people to attack!
Although these sects have stepped up their vigilance and searched for clues, they have found nothing.
Moreover, often after losing one or two people, the other party would switch to another sect to attack, and their whereabouts would be unpredictable.
How powerful a person is to be able to do this quietly
Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine!
For a time, almost everyone in Xiling City was in danger.
No one knows whether it will be their turn next!
Especially those young practitioners who have the original meridians of the earth are even more uneasy.
Even though they have outstanding talents, their strength is now limited and they have not yet had time to grow into truly strong men. How can they cope with this
Although the third princess has sent Mu Qinghe and others to investigate the matter thoroughly, the murderer has not been found and almost no progress has been made.
Therefore, even though Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng's wedding was approaching, the sky in Xiling City seemed to be covered with a shadow.
royal palace.
Jiang Yucheng walked straight ahead and arrived at Huayang Palace.
His face was expressionless and his aura was cold, which made many people in the palace feel intimidated and hurriedly saluted.
Jiang Yucheng ignored these people and went straight to the main hall.
Chanyi was standing guard at the door. When she saw Jiang Yucheng arriving, she knelt down and saluted:
"I've met the eldest son."
Jiang Yucheng asked coldly:
"Where is your highness now?"
Chanyi said:
"His Highness came back to rest after morning service today and is currently taking a nap."
Without saying a word, Jiang Yucheng raised his feet and started to go in.
Chanyi immediately took a step forward and stopped him. Her tone was polite, but her expression was a little more firm.
"My eldest son, Your Highness has been busy with various matters concerning the wedding and dealing with the affairs of the court, and has not been able to have a good rest. Now that she finally fell asleep, please let her rest first. If If there is anything you need, how about I ask my servant to tell you?"
Jiang Yucheng sneered.
"Is she really that tired? How come I don't know?"
Yu Wenwei led the people from the etiquette department to handle all the complicated matters of the wedding. At most, she could only say a few words and give her own opinions.
And many affairs in the DPRK are handled by him.
Shangguan Wan seems busy, but in fact she has done nothing. Why is she tired
Chanyi frowned secretly when she heard Jiang Yucheng's bad tone.
There are only a few days left before the wedding. Why does Jiang Yucheng suddenly come to trouble His Highness at this time
"My eldest son, it is really inconvenient for His Highness to see you at this time. You should-"
"presumptuous!"
Jiang Yucheng shouted angrily.
"But a little maid dared to stop my master five times? Chanyi, you have been with the third princess for a long time and are highly valued. Do you think you are also the master now!?"
A flash of panic flashed across Chanyi's face, and she immediately knelt down.
"I don't dare! I'm just here for Your Highness—"
"Chanyi."
At this time, Shangguan Wan's voice suddenly came from the room.
"Let Yu Cheng come in."
Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly:
"yes!"
After saying that, she lowered her head:
"I know my mistake. Sir, please—"
Jiang Yucheng narrowed his eyes, walked past her, and pushed the door open.
"Chanyi, go and receive the punishment yourself."
"yes!"
Chanyi then stood up, carefully closed the door, and knelt down in the courtyard.
When other palace attendants in Huayang Palace saw this scene, they did not dare to approach, so they had to discuss it privately.
"What's wrong with the eldest son, why is he so angry today?"
"Who knows. But it's definitely not a trivial matter! How could the eldest son be so rude to Chanyi before? On the surface, he is punishing Chanyi, but in fact he is slapping His Highness in the face!"
"That's right! Who doesn't know that Chanyi is His Highness's most trusted confidant. There are only a few days left in this mess, and for some reason it suddenly happened like this."
"Shhh! Stop talking, be careful of the trouble coming from your mouth! Let's go! Let's break up!"
The palace servants who serve in Huayang Palace are all smart and know what can and cannot be said.
Therefore, Jiang Yucheng didn't care at all whether what he just did would be spread out.
And now he really can't stand it anymore!
Walking into the room, Shangguan Wan was sitting in front of the dressing table.
After she came back, she planned to take off the mask, but unexpectedly she heard Jiang Yucheng coming outside, so she had to put the half-off mask back on.
When Jiang Yucheng came in, he happened to catch a glimpse of the shocking wound on half of her cheek.
It has been so long, but the injuries on Shangguan Wan's face have not improved at all. Some places still fester from time to time, looking very hideous.
Jiang Yucheng frowned unconsciously.
After a while, Shangguan Wan had already posted it and turned to look over.
Looking at it this way, her face was as smooth as before, no different from before.
But Jiang Yucheng knew what her real face looked like under the mask, and she looked even more awkward at this moment.
But Shangguan Wan didn't seem to notice it. Seeing the anger that had not faded from Jiang Yucheng's eyebrows, he frowned and asked tiredly:
"What do you want to do when you come here with such force? First of all, I am very tired now, but I don't have the energy to deal with you. If there is nothing important, let's talk about it another day."
Jiang Yucheng sneered.
"Don't you know best why you are tired?"
Shangguan Wan made a move.
"I've warned you once before, enough is enough! But what are you going to do now? Are you crazy!"
