The apprentice listened with astonishment.
"Master, you've even met the Emperor."
The old doctor stopped what he was doing and reminisced about the past.
"At that time, I didn't know he was the emperor. The madam back then wasn't the one we know now. She sent someone to ask me to treat the girls' illnesses. She mentioned that a noble young man had fallen in love at first sight with the courtesan, the embroiderer, and had spent a fortune to win her favor. The two were deeply in love, and the noble young man even wanted to take the embroiderer back to his mansion and gave her a token of their love, which seemed to be a jade pendant with exquisitely carved twin lotus flowers..."
Qin Run suddenly sat up on the bed.
"Is...is it the Emperor?"
The old doctor and the apprentice were both startled.
Qin Run rushed forward and grabbed the old doctor's arm.
"That person is the Emperor!"
The old doctor saw his nostrils flaring and his eyes wide with excitement, and thought he had fallen ill again. He raised his hand to take his pulse.
Qin Run dashed out without looking back.
He seemed to have gone mad.
Embroiderer, twin lotus jade pendant!
It all fits together, everything fits together.
No wonder people say his status is incredibly noble.
It turns out he was a prince.
It's a prince!
Before Qin Run lay a flower-lined path, and a magnificent palace stood not far away, as if beckoning to him.
The County Princess's Mansion, Prince Su, Ninth Prince...
What does it all amount to?
He is the son of the emperor's most beloved woman.
They must find an opportunity to enter the palace and reunite with their father as soon as possible.
Once he acknowledges his ancestry and returns to his clan, he will surely obtain the position of crown prince.
At that time, he will make all those who have wronged him kneel before him and kowtow in repentance.
...
Night falls.
A mysterious and oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire Dapo Village.
Inside the ancestral hall,
The lights were on full display.
Jiang Qingwan stood on the stone steps.
"Those whose zodiac signs I just mentioned must not approach more than one mile from the ancestral hall, lest they affect the power of the formation. The rest of you who wish to stay here to watch may carry torches and must not cause any disturbance."
After speaking, she looked at Mo Yunhan again.
“Your Highness, your yang energy is too strong. You should retreat at least two miles away. Also, Ye Qi, you have a strong killing intent about you. You should retreat with your Highness.”
Mo Yunhan nodded, his gaze falling on Qing Sui.
"Protect the Princess!"
"yes!"
Everything is ready.
Jiang Qingwan activated the Lotus Eight Trigrams Formation.
Xiao Hua and Xiao Hong stood guard outside the formation, isolating the villagers.
Neither the village chief nor the county magistrate's zodiac signs were included, and they led the soldiers to help maintain order.
As the formation was activated, several golden rays converged, and everyone saw a huge lotus flower slowly unfolding within the Bagua formation.
As Jiang Qingwan formed hand seals, it slowly rose.
Floating in mid-air.
Jiang Qingwan stood beneath the lotus flower, the talisman in her hand spinning rapidly.
A red thread flew out from the hearts of everyone in the formation and was drawn into the lotus flower.
The golden lotus seemed to have come to life.
Red blood vessels began to appear on the golden petals.
At this moment, Jiang Qingwan shouted, "Qinghui, put up the talisman!"
Qing Sui agreed and flew over to stick the three yellow talismans in her hand onto the Tai Sui on the fire stand.
As the yellow talisman seeped in.
The Tai Sui emitted an eerie red light.
It suddenly shot into the sky.
The villagers all looked up at it.
Bai Shu stood outside the formation, watching Jiang Qingwan's movements without interfering.
As the red light shone out, gusts of eerie wind suddenly swept through the ancestral hall.
It sounded as if ghosts were wailing and wolves were howling from all directions.
Just as the villagers were holding their breath in tension.
Suddenly, a sharp roar pierced the sky.
A dark shadow darted over, heading straight for the red-glowing Tai Sui.
The dark shadow was about the size of a raccoon dog.
It has sharp, black claws, but its body is hairless and covered in countless bumps.
In the instant it lunged at Tai Sui.
The golden lotus suddenly activated, firmly drawing it into its core. The petals gathered and fell into the Bagua formation.
The golden lotus transformed into a transparent cage, trapping that thing firmly inside.
A look of surprise flashed in Bai Shu's eyes.
Yin Tai Sui has appeared!
Only then did the villagers realize that the raccoon-like creature actually had the face of an infant.
As they were wondering, the baby's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious grin, splitting open a gaping maw and revealing a mouthful of fangs.
It emits a sharp, piercing sound.
The villagers were terrified.
They all retreated.
"What the hell is this thing?"
"Evil spirit, this must be the evil spirit on Tai Sui!"
"That's terrifying! What are those bumps on its body?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Yin Tai Sui let out another roar.
The lumps on its body had all turned into the face of a ghostly infant, writhing, roaring, and revealing sharp, intricate fangs.
Suddenly it broke free from its body and frantically crashed into the lotus petals.
The villagers screamed in fright.
As it struck, everyone inside the Bagua formation was affected.
Zheng Chengye was so frightened that his whole body was covered in hair.
Just as he was struggling to hold on, suddenly a ghostly infant's head rushed straight at him, its hideous fangs and eerie grin seemingly about to tear through the lotus petals and pounce on him at any moment.
He trembled with fear.
The peach wood sword in his hand fell to the ground.
The golden lotus petals split open instantly.
The ghostly head tore through the petals, opened its huge mouth, and rushed straight at Zheng Chengye's face.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost lost his mind.
Just when he thought he was going to die, a voice suddenly blocked her way, and she formed a hand seal to desperately block the ghost infant's impact.
