Chapter 405 The Holy Son of Miao Territory Was Bewitched by the Villainous Cult Leader (43 chapters)

Bai Yue'er was being choked so hard she could hardly breathe. She tilted her head back, rolled her eyes, and even her struggles weakened.

Upon seeing this, Ji Changyun and Consort De immediately became anxious.

"Elder Yun, Yue'er is not only my future daughter-in-law, but she is also helpful to our plans. No matter what happened before, I order you to release her immediately!" Consort De was furious.

He grew increasingly disgusted with Elder Yun.

She really is an uncultured and vulgar person. She dared to lay a hand on her future daughter-in-law right in front of her. Does she think she has no temper?

Ji Changyun frowned slightly and said disapprovingly, "Elder Yun, I don't like Yun Wanxi. It's her who has been harassing me and even tried to harm Yue'er. How could Yue'er, a weak young lady, possibly bully Yun Wanxi, who is skilled in both martial arts and Gu magic?"

Neither side was willing to back down. Consort Shu rolled her eyes, stepped forward, grabbed Consort De's wrist, and acted as a peacemaker. "Sister, don't be angry. Elder Yun just wanted to find out the reason."

Consort De withdrew her hand without showing any emotion and said calmly, "Now that I have asked all the questions I needed to ask, Elder Yun, are you ready to release my future daughter-in-law?"

Despite Elder Yun's reluctance, they were now in the same boat, and she couldn't very well embarrass Consort De and Consort Shu.

Elder Yun loosened his grip, and Bai Yue'er instantly collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest and coughing violently. Visible bruises were visible on her neck.

Ji Changyun immediately stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. He looked down at Bai Yue'er, whose eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face, and felt extremely distressed.

"Yue'er, are you alright? Shall I take you to see the royal physician?"

Bai Yue'er shook her head with a wry smile, "Cough cough cough... Brother Changyun, you still have important things to do. I can manage on my own."

"How can that be? You're already like this."

"It's alright, Brother Changyun, you go ahead and do your work. Don't keep the two ladies waiting." Bai Yue'er stood up shakily and bowed to Consort De and Consort Shu. "Then this humble woman will take her leave."

Before leaving, Bai Yue'er glanced at Elder Yun.

"You old hag, you dare to pinch her, don't you?"

Just you wait, I'll break your neck in the future, or I'm not Bai Yue'er!

"Elder Yun was far too reckless just now. Do you know that Bai Yue'er's father is the commander of the Imperial Guards? If you hurt her, our plan will fail, and I will not let you off the hook!"

Elder Yun was shocked; she never imagined that Bai Yue'er's father was actually the commander of the Imperial Guards.

With the help of the Imperial Guard Commander, their plan is sure to succeed.

"It was my oversight, and I hope Your Highness will not take offense."

Consort De snorted coldly, "Good that you know. Now you can tell me your plan, right?"

Consort De looked directly at Elder Yun. In her opinion, the one who could come up with such a scheme could not possibly be that fool Consort Shu.

In the palace, when did Consort Shu ever win against her?

And then there's her foolish son, Prince Qi, who thinks he's so clever but is actually incredibly stupid. He actually came up with the idea of ​​colluding with martial arts sects, and with those sects making frequent unusual moves, His Majesty couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

If Elder Yun hadn't truly possessed some skill in using poison without leaving a trace, she might have really had to reconsider whether or not to cooperate with Consort Shu.

Elder Yun's plan was simple: to use Gu poison.

It just so happens that Bai Yue'er's father is the commander of the Imperial Guards, which makes things even simpler.

The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace was easy to enter, as was the Emperor's bedroom. For Elder Yun, entering the palace was like entering an empty place.

"Simply using witchcraft? One or two of them suddenly fall seriously ill, do you think people wouldn't suspect something?"

"You mean the Empress?" Elder Yun smiled calmly. "As far as I know, the Empress has long been imprisoned in the palace by the Emperor. Where would she get the ability to suspect this and that?"

"As for the other ministers, the only ones who still support the Crown Prince are the General's Mansion, right? I've heard that the General's Mansion has been loyal and virtuous for generations. Given General Ren's temperament, he naturally wouldn't act rashly and risk being branded as a rebel."

However, just in case, it's best to be cautious. The commander of the Imperial Guards should be able to rival the Ren family's army, right?

"But before that, I need to find a way to lure Yu Sheng to the west of the city. If we can get the other half of the Holy Decree from him, our chances of winning will be much greater."

"However... since we are going to cooperate, Consort De should show some sincerity. As for the Empress, I will trouble Consort De to send more people to look after her. After all, she is just a palace woman who has lived in seclusion for a long time and cannot cause any trouble."

They had no objections to Elder Yun's plan, and Consort De and Consort Shu temporarily formed a united front.

Ji Jingchi: It should be the front line that's trying to kill me, right?

After Consort Shu and the others left, Consort De instructed, "Changyun, remember to comfort Yue'er and persuade her father to take sides. If Commander Bai agrees, tell him our plan; if he doesn't agree..."

"Then we'll have to find a new commander for the Imperial Guards. But I bet he'll agree; after all, we have his only daughter. I don't believe he'd dare disobey!"

"Yes, Mother, you should return to the palace soon. I know what I'm doing."

Consort De nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Ji Changyun told the whole story without hiding anything.

Bai Yue'er frowned.

As expected, Consort De and Consort Shu planned to kick Crown Prince Ji Jingchi out of the game first.

I wonder what the situation is like for the leader and Ji Jingchi now.

As Bai Yue'er was thinking about these things, she was hit on the head by a heavy object. She cried out in pain, clutching her head, and looked around. All she could see on the ground was a sachet sewn with gold thread.

Although she didn't see anyone, she could guess who had just ambushed her just by looking at the extremely tacky sachet.

"Money, money—" Bai Yue'er said through gritted teeth.

When she opened the sachet, she became even more furious.

Damn money! There was even a piece of gold inside, no wonder it hurt so much!

She even wondered if she had harmed the King of Hell's entire family in her past life? Otherwise, why would she have to encounter one person after another who left her speechless?

Her family's mad cult leader is one, the lewd elder is another, and then there's the despicable Mu Qingfeng and the heartless nouveau riche Qian Jinqian. Damn it, any one of them alone would break her defenses.

Bai Yue'er stuffed the gold into her waist pouch, then took out another piece of paper inside. The bold handwriting on it was clearly written by Jin Qianqian.

The characters are so broken, it's hard to even look at them.

After reading the contents, Bai Yue'er beckoned to Ji Changyun, who obediently walked up to her.

Bai Yue'er grabbed Ji Changyun's chin and stuffed the crumpled paper into his mouth, telling him to "eat it."

Ji Changyun did as instructed.

“I’m going out for a while. If anyone looks for me during that time, just say I’ve gone back to the Bai family.”

Bai Yue'er went to the Bai family and met her nominal father, "Bai Jinjun".

"Miss, did you come here specifically for this purpose? Is there anything you need?"

Bai Jinjun was once a beggar rescued by Bai Yue'er's mother from among the refugees. Later, he became her mother's subordinate, took Bai as his surname, and went to the capital to develop his career.

After Bai Yue'er's mother died, Bai Jinjun found the Xianri Sect and willingly joined it, becoming Bai Yue'er's subordinate.

"Uncle Bai, you must be aware of the sect leader's instructions, right?"

Bai Jinjun nodded and said, "The Fourth Elder has already come. He also said that when you come, Miss, please remember to leave his gold for him."

It would be better if this wasn't mentioned, because Bai Yue'er gets angry as soon as it is.

"That miser, Qianqian! He's already got his hands on something and he still wants to take it back? Dream on!"

Bai Yue'er spoke very quickly, but accidentally aggravated the wound on her neck, causing her face to turn pale with pain.

Bai Jinjun then noticed the wound on her neck, and his face immediately darkened.

"Miss, what happened to your neck?"

"I was choked by an old woman. Don't worry, Uncle Bai, I won't let this go unpunished. She choked my neck, so I'll break hers. Isn't that fair?"

Bai Jinjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the young lady and the master have different personalities. If the young lady had the same personality as the master, she probably wouldn't have said a word even if she was bullied.

“Uncle Bai, if Elder Yun wants to enter the palace, let her in. After she leaves, the sect leader’s mole will set fire to the East Palace. At that time, I will need to trouble you, Uncle Bai, to bring out Ji Jingchi, who is planning to fake his death to escape.”

Bai Jinjun said that he had no problems.
