Chapter 186: Witchcraft

"Can you let me go now?" Jiang Yao sighed tiredly. "It's really uncomfortable to be tied up."

The facts were before her, and the princess had to believe that Jiang Yao was Lu's aunt, and she really couldn't treat Jiang Yao so rudely.

So he waved his hand.

After being released, Jiang Yao fell to the ground helplessly, then uttered a name: "Nangong Jin."

This is the prince's name.

Her words not only scared Hu Xiner, but also made all the Shadow Guards look unfriendly.

"You said that the prince is targeting the Lu family?" Hu Xiner asked, and then suddenly remembered that the assassin caught in the town before also said that he was sent by the prince.

Plus the terrifying look on the prince's face that time...

But the eldest princess would never believe it.

Hu Xiner turned to look at the eldest princess, and sure enough, the eldest princess's expression was very ugly.

She angrily drew her subordinate's sword and rushed over to Jiang Yao, demanding, "Who sent you here? How dare you slander my brother, the Crown Prince!"

Jiang Yao's chin was pressed against the tip of the sword, but she wasn't afraid at all: "You are so stupid. No wonder even though you are the eldest princess of the Heavenly Family, neither Lu Yunjue nor Mu'er looks down on you!"

"Do you think I won't dare touch you just because you're the Lu family's aunt?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows. "You actually slandered the Crown Prince, hoping to alienate the Lu family from the imperial family. This crime is tantamount to treason. If I report this to my father, I will sentence you to death by slicing!"

Jiang Yao actually sneered, "I think you've been fooled by your brother, or you simply can't accept it. It was you who was too close to the Crown Prince and leaked the Lu family's whereabouts. You indirectly killed Lu Yunjue and almost killed Mu Qing?!"

"That's complete nonsense!" the princess cried angrily. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

"Come on, kill them if you dare!" Jiang Yao straightened her neck. "Let everyone in the world see how you wipe out the reputable Lu family!"

The eldest princess was completely enraged, and murderous intent actually appeared in her eyes.

Hu Xiner secretly thought that this was not good. The eldest princess was a bit reckless and willful. She had just been traumatized by Lu Yunjue's death, and now she was being confronted by Jiang Yao like this. She might really kill Jiang Yao by mistake!

She quickly tried to stop him, but the princess's sword missed by a centimeter. However, the sword was so sharp that a noticeable streak of blood oozed out of Jiang Yao's fair neck.

Stimulated by the pain, Jiang Yao laughed even more arrogantly: "Come on, kill me!"

"Speak less!" Hu Xiner scolded.

She hugged the princess tightly and advised, "Nangong Yue, calm down. She is an important witness. No matter whether what she said is true or false, she cannot be killed rashly!"

"Why are you stopping me? Don't you believe me? Do you also think I killed them?" The eldest princess shouted while struggling.

"She's just someone I just met. How could I believe her instead of you?" Hu Xiner roared.

The eldest princess had practiced martial arts and was extremely strong, so she couldn't control herself at all.

Fortunately, this shout successfully calmed the eldest princess. She looked at Hu Xin'er with some grievance: "Xin'er, believe me, the prince is really a good man!"

"Of course I believe you." Hu Xiner thought to herself, I just don't trust your prince brother very much.

But this must not be said openly, otherwise the princess will be furious again.

In order to reassure the princess, she analyzed, "We can't just listen to Jiang Yao's one-sided story. Perhaps there's something else going on."

"You're right. This woman is hysterical at one moment and laughs in a way that makes people feel creepy at the next. You can tell at a glance that she is not a good person!" The eldest princess said angrily, but put the sword back into the scabbard.

Hu Xin'er held her hand and stroked her hair: "The eldest princess is truly a discerning person, wise and powerful."

"Hmph, flatterer." The eldest princess glanced at her, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Jiang Yao frowned and said, "Xin'er, don't spend too much time with this person. She'll kill you sooner or later!"

"Come here, stuff her mouth with a piece of cloth." The princess gave a short, cold laugh. "Then take her and the Taoist Yiqing back to the Dali Temple. I haven't settled the score for Chunfengzui yet!"

She wondered how the Chunfengzui brothel owner could be so desperate as to slander the eldest princess. It turned out that Jiang Yao, who was behind the scenes, had a prejudice against her.

As the eldest princess of a country and a favored child of heaven, she was willing to sacrifice her own reputation to protect Lu Yunjue and even provided him with personal protection.

But this crazy woman Jiang Yao deliberately ruined her reputation just because of her random guesses.

How could the princess possibly swallow this insult?

This crime alone was enough to cause Jiang Yao to be tortured day and night in the Dali Temple, bleeding until she died wailing!

But just when the Shadow Guards were about to capture Jiang Yao, something unexpected happened.

Jiang Yao's face showed a fierce look: "You guys think you can arrest me?"

She quickly pulled out a pen from her sleeve, waved it twice in the air, and suddenly smoke rose up.

"Oh no, it's smoke!" Hu Xin'er realized something was wrong and reacted immediately, but it was too late.

She lost consciousness and fell heavily to the ground. The last thing she remembered was that she seemed to hear someone chuckle in her ear, put their arms around her waist, and laid her on the stone bed.

When she woke up again, the princess had fainted on the ground, and her shadow guards were also lying on the ground with their arms and legs spread out.

Taoist Master Yiqing, like Jiang Yao, disappeared.

Hu Xiner was suddenly startled and got up to look at Mu Qing. He was still there!

She quickly woke up the princess: "Nangong Yue? Nangong Yue! Are you okay?"

Fortunately, Jiang Yao did not kill them. The eldest princess woke up slowly, touched the bump on her head, and immediately became furious: "This

Damn this vicious woman, I knew she had bad intentions!"

"It's not safe here now. Let's go back to the princess's mansion as soon as possible!" Hu Xiner advised.

So the two of them woke up the shadow guard next to them and asked Yingyi to carry Mu Qing out.

Finally they walked out of the stone chamber, and the bright light outside made everyone cover their eyes at the same time.

After their vision cleared, they looked at each other with the same shocked expression.

There was no other reason. The Taoist temple, which was originally brand new, had turned into a dilapidated state again!

"Could this be some kind of witchcraft?" The princess shuddered. "That person is indeed a witch, deliberately coming here to alienate the relationship between the emperor and his subjects, hoping to overthrow our dynasty!"

Although it was outrageous, the Shadow Guards all showed approval in their eyes.

Hu Xin'er comes from the modern era, so naturally she doesn't believe in ghosts and monsters, but all of this cannot be explained by science and technology.

The princess became more and more frightened the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but ask her men to go find Erdong.

Unexpectedly, after his men took a few steps, Erdong came hurriedly over.

As soon as they met, he quickly asked the eldest princess and others to leave this place of trouble.
