Zheng Chengye felt a chill run down his spine.
"What happened? Why are you shouting so frighteningly?"
Song Yushu looked in that direction.
"It seems to be Fengyazhu. Yuying, go and take a look."
Yu Ying bowed in agreement and was about to go check on the situation.
A servant boy scrambled in.
"Your Highness, Madam, something terrible has happened!"
He collapsed to his knees at the doorway, gasping for breath, as if he had been terrified. He pointed outside with his mouth agape, but seemed unable to express himself and couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Qingwan smelled a faint scent of blood on him, put down her spoon, and stood up.
"Let's go take a look."
After saying that, he went out the door first.
Qing Sui and Lian'er immediately followed.
Song Yushu led Zheng Chengye to stand up as well.
The group arrived at the Fengya Pavilion together.
Inside the half-open courtyard gate, the stench of blood grew even stronger.
Qing Sui kicked it away and warily placed one hand in front of Jiang Qingwan.
The scene in the courtyard instantly stunned everyone.
There, Yun Xiaoran, like a wild beast, with her hair disheveled, was gnawing on Li Mama's arm.
Granny Li was already torn to pieces, beyond any doubt.
The intense stimulation caused Zheng Chengye to vomit violently, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Lian'er also covered her mouth and her legs went weak.
Although Song Yushu didn't faint from fright, he clutched his chest and had difficulty breathing.
Jiang Qingwan was the first to come to her senses.
He immediately strode inside.
Spiritual energy gathered at the fingertips, and talismans were quickly inscribed.
Yun Xiaoran seemed to sense the danger and turned her head with a low, hoarse roar.
Those eyes had become vertical pupils.
Just like a snake.
Although Qinghui was scared, she still gritted her teeth and followed him inside.
"Your Highness, please be careful."
The four talismans flew past swiftly.
Golden iron chains bound Yun Xiaoran tightly.
Yun Xiaoran screamed and struggled desperately, her mouth full of blood, looking like a ferocious and terrifying demon crawling out of hell.
Qing Sui suddenly exclaimed in surprise,
"Your Highness, look at her belly."
Jiang Qingwan had just seen it; Yun Xiaoran's abdomen was already swollen, and the black aura was thick.
The air is thick with deathly energy; the fire is nearing its end.
It can even control the mother to bite living people to replenish energy.
It seems this freak is the product of heretical cultivation.
Once this freak emerges, it will surely wreak havoc.
"Qinghui, Aunt, I need some things. Go find them quickly, or the formation won't be able to hold them down."
"The blood of a newborn boy, the blood of a red-crested rooster that is over five years old, and the blood of a black dog that is over ten years old..."
Before she could finish speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"Imperial edict has arrived!"
Everyone turned around in confusion.
How did this imperial edict end up at Fengyazhu?
Su Weichuan strode over, holding the bright yellow imperial edict, and entered the courtyard without stopping at the gate.
Upon catching a glimpse of the gruesome and bloody scene in the courtyard, his eyes widened slightly, but he didn't react much, as if he had expected it.
You could even see a hint of excitement in his eyes.
“Princess Ninth Prince, the plague in Xiahe Village has been investigated and found to be a poisonous scheme devised by Yun Xiaoran out of jealousy for your harmonious relationship with the Ninth Prince. Now that the evidence is conclusive, His Majesty has issued an edict ordering this old minister to take this woman away and imprison her, so that the Ninth Prince’s mansion can be restored to peace.”
Jiang Qingwan's face darkened slightly.
"You can't take her away."
Su Weichuan sneered.
"The Ninth Princess Consort is going to defy the imperial decree?"
Jiang Qingwan slightly raised her chin.
She was truly unafraid to defy the imperial decree.
Su Weichuan chuckled, "The Ninth Princess Consort is truly audacious. She doesn't even put the Emperor in her eyes. However, with her abilities, she could indeed roam the world without restraint. What a pity..."
He tucked the imperial edict into his sleeve.
"His Majesty said that if the Ninth Prince's Mansion obstructs the matter, it means that the Ninth Prince's Mansion was also involved in the plague incident in Xiahe Village. In that case, the villagers of Xiahe Village's lawsuit against the prince is a false accusation. How dare these lowly commoners unite to falsely accuse the prince and persecute the General of Great Zhou? I wonder what crime they will be convicted of? Ninth Prince, why don't you tell your Princess Consort?"
Jiang Qingwan's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, Mo Yunhan walked in from outside the crowd, stood beside her, and gently took her small hand.
His dark eyes held hesitation and struggle, as well as guilt and reassurance.
Jiang Qingwan could only suppress her temper.
“Prince Su, you should be able to see that she can no longer be considered human. If you take her away, you will regret it beyond belief.”
Su Weichuan remained completely unmoved.
"There's no need for the Ninth Princess to worry about that."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, and a magical bell appeared in his hand without him even noticing.
A gentle shake produces an alluring ringing sound.
Yun Xiaoran, who had been roaring ferociously, quickly quieted down and became extremely docile.
Su Weichuan looked up at Jiang Qingwan.
"Can we remove the talisman from her now?"
Jiang Qingwan had no choice but to take back the talisman.
He watched helplessly as Yun Xiaoran was taken away.
After everyone left.
Jiang Qingwan stomped her foot in displeasure.
"The freak in Yun Xiaoran's belly has become a demonic fetus, with extremely high lethality. If it gets out of control, many people in the capital will die."
Mo Yunhan patted her back reassuringly and told her everything that had happened in the palace.
Jiang Qingwan was taken aback.
"You mean, Su Weichuan personally sent the Third Prince and Sun Ke to their doom? What exactly is he trying to do?"
Mo Yunhan shook his head.
“I have something else that I’m more worried about.”
Jiang Qingwan asked curiously, "Is there anything more worrying? Something more worrying than the demonic fetus?"
