Chapter 564: Book of Life and Death

The palace's guards and secret guards were all stunned after hearing Yun Qingqing's words.

Is the princess trying to snatch the soul of the dead back from the ghost?

Although everyone knows that the princess has always been tough and is not afraid even if the emperor is present.

But being so tough in front of the ghost messenger, this is too exaggerated...

As everyone stared in amazement, Bai Wuchang bowed to Yun Qingqing and said with a smile:

"Master Yun is right, so I am sending you the Book of Life and Death."

Everyone in the palace: ???

Did you hear that correctly? The Black and White Impermanence personally delivered the Book of Life and Death?

What is the background of our princess? Isn’t this a bit too outrageous!

Bai Wuchang took out a booklet from his sleeve, opened it casually, gestured on the pages with his fingers a few times, and handed it to Yun Qingqing with both hands. Every move he made was full of respect.

Yun Qingqing took the booklet and saw the pages glowing, casting a curtain of light in the air. Dozens of names were densely written on it. The first one was Zhao Qian, with his birth date written in small characters next to it.

Yun Qingqing immediately ordered Yu Dong to compare the names on the light curtain with the people who died in the night raid in the mansion to see if there were any mistakes or omissions.

Yu Dong came back to his senses from the shock, feeling both nervous and excited, and immediately did as he was told.

While the servants in the palace were helping to compare the names, Yun Qingqing looked at the booklet in her hand and asked Bai Wuchang thoughtfully:

"This Book of Life and Death...isn't it the volume you usually use?"

Bai Wuchang smiled and replied:

"Lord Yun is wise. The sub-volumes can only be consulted and cannot be revised. This is the master volume in Lord Yan's hands."

Yun Qingqing was stunned:

"He's so confident in letting me check the Book of Life and Death?"

For the underworld, the Book of Life and Death is the most important database, without a doubt. What's more, the one in hand is the only complete volume.

Bai Wuchang was actually puzzled as to why Lord Yan treated Yun Qingqing so differently and made exceptions for her again and again.

But these days, he also knew Yun Qingqing's abilities very well.

"Master Yun, don't worry too much. We in the underworld have relied on your help many times, so we should return the favor. Master Yan Jun has ordered that this Book of Life and Death be used by you within one hour. Don't be polite."

Yun Qingqing's heart skipped a beat and she looked down at the glowing booklet in her hand.

There is something else behind what Lord Yan said.

The booklet now shows the list of people who died unexpectedly in the palace tonight, but it doesn’t take much time to simply verify the list.

However, King Yan gave her an hour and asked Bai Wuchang to pass on a message, telling her to use it however she wanted.

Is he doing me a favor, trying to show his goodwill to me, or... does he want me to find something in the Book of Life and Death?

A thought flashed through Yun Qingqing's mind.

No matter what Yan Jun's intention was, he undoubtedly gave her a chance.

She nodded to Bai Wuchang and smiled slightly:

"Then I won't be polite. Please thank Lord Yan Jun for me."

Soon Yu Dong and others checked the death list and came to report:

"Reporting to Her Majesty, I have checked it and it all matches, there are no mistakes or omissions."

He looked at Yun Qingqing with some hope in his eyes.

After all, from the conversation between the princess and Bai Wuchang just now, these dead guards and bodyguards can still be saved, and many of them are his good brothers.

Yun Qingqing nodded, took out a stack of talismans and handed them to Yu Dong, instructing him to stick one on each of the dead servants in the palace.

Yu Dong immediately took the order and took his men to get it done quickly.

Yun Qingqing raised her hand and lightly scratched the pages of the book a few times.

The light on the pages of the Book of Life and Death flashed a few times, and the light curtain in the air changed accordingly. The names that were originally dim on it lit up one after another.

After a while, the servants lying on the ground took a deep breath, opened their eyes and came back to life, while the talismans stuck on their bodies turned into ashes and dissipated in the wind.

Yu Dong was waiting on the side. When he saw Commander Zhao Qian resurrected safely, he sat up and looked around with a confused look on his face. He immediately stepped forward and told him what the princess had done.

Zhao Qian looked down at his chest in shock, only to see that his clothes were torn from the outside to the inside, but the knife wound that was right in his heart did not leave any trace at all!

He quickly stood up, strode to Yun Qingqing, knelt down and bowed:

"Thank you, Princess, for giving me a new life! I will never forget your kindness. I am willing to sacrifice my life for you!"

Needless to say, the impact of having died once was so great that the others gradually came to their senses and followed the commander to bow and express their gratitude.

Seeing that everyone was alive and well, Yun Qingqing asked Zhao Qian and Yu Dong to clean up the mess while she left the bloodstained courtyard.

She needed a secluded place right now, and her own yard was obviously not suitable. After thinking it over, she simply went to Xiao Changheng's study.

At this moment, the entire palace was busy with the aftermath, clearing the battlefield and detaining assassins, but Yun Qingqing's position in the palace had long been unshakable. No one had any objection to her using the prince's study.

Yun Qingqing dismissed the servants and entered the study. Black and White Impermanence had deliberately hidden their figures and followed her all the way, but they were very tactful and stopped at the door of the study and did not go in with her.

In the study.

Yun Qingqing opened the Book of Life and Death, a ball of spiritual power gathered on her fingertips, and she gently touched the blank page.

The ball of spiritual power disappeared into the pages of the book, which began to glow faintly, and lines of small words appeared.

At the very top is Xiao Changheng’s name.

Written below is his birth date and summary information that appears item by item.

Yun Qingqing stared at the name, took a deep breath, injected spiritual power again, and silently recited the things she wanted to look up in her mind.

The original text on the page began to move downward, and a new name appeared at the top, along with information about the name.

That was Xiao Changheng’s previous life.

Yun Qingqing continued to inject spiritual energy, and different names appeared one after another and continued to move down to make room for the name of the previous life.

Tracing back generation after generation, Yun Qingqing counted silently in her heart, and her fingers gradually clenched.

Not long ago, she had borrowed Liufang to play a piece of "Hua Xu" and explored Xiao Changheng's past life in her dream, but was blocked and interrupted at the most critical life.

The King of Hell's Book of Life and Death records the information of all people in the world from generation to generation.

So when Yun Qingqing heard that King Yan allowed her to use the Book of Life and Death at will for one hour, the idea immediately came to her mind to find out who Xiao Changheng was and what he had experienced in his previous life.

Dozens of names appeared and moved down. Yun Qingqing's fingertips suddenly paused, and the moving words on the page finally stopped.

She stared at the contents of the page, her brows furrowed.

In the Book of Life and Death, every life of Xiao Changheng in his previous life is clearly recorded.

Birth date, year of birth and death, identity and status, family relationships... every line is remembered clearly.

However, it finally came to the key life that Yun Qingqing wanted to find out the most.

The name and all the information displayed were blurry.
