Hearing that Chaoxi had returned, the few people waiting by the river rushed back quickly.
Rong Baichuan turned Chaoxi around a few times and saw that not even a hair... Pah! Not even a corner of her clothes was torn. His heart finally settled down.
"Chaoxi, you scared Daddy to death. Why did you come back just now..." Rong Baichuan hugged Chaoxi and said with tears streaming down his face, "You don't know how scared Daddy was. You disappeared and Daddy didn't know where to find you..."
The eyes of others were also red.
"Daddy, I didn't find... I didn't find the fragment of Cang Mo's soul..." Rong Chaoxi sobbed, tears falling down.
She searched many places and visited every gate to the underworld.
Without Cang Mo's soul, it is nowhere to be found.
"It's okay, we'll look for it slowly." Rong Baichuan gently patted the little fellow's back and soothed him softly, "Daddy will arrange for someone to help you look for it when he gets back. We'll find it eventually..."
The Rong and Qin families were both concerned about Chaoxi. Li Yi noticed that Han Qinmo's face was still not good.
Then he asked with concern, "Third Prince, how are you? Is your head still hurting?"
He started having a headache before everyone else did.
"It's okay, cough cough cough..." Han Qinmo said weakly, "It's an old problem. It happens every year on the Ghost Festival. I'll be fine after a rest."
Every year on this day he would feel excruciating pain and would be seriously ill for several days afterwards. He had long been accustomed to it.
This time with Chaoxi by his side, he felt much better, at least he didn't faint.
He looked at Chaoxi who was still crying, his eyes full of heartache.
When she came back, she cried and apologized to him, saying that she had not helped him find his lost soul.
Although she didn't remember what happened before, Chaoxi had never owed him anything, and she shouldn't blame herself so much.
The little girl lay on Rong Baichuan's shoulder with her hands hanging down and a listless look on her face. She wasn't even interested in her favorite honey cake.
Soon, she fell asleep.
She was too tired that night.
…
Southern Yan Kingdom, Holy Spirit Valley.
"Sister, was the child in the thick fog last night Chaoxi?"
Yinmu sat on the roof, watching the red sun rising from the top of the mountain, thinking of the little red figure that suddenly appeared last night, looking for something, and then suddenly disappeared.
It always feels strangely familiar.
Moreover, the crisp fragrance that came to his nose at that time was extremely familiar, like the smell in the illusion when Chaoxi was treating him.
A faint scent, different from the forest where they lived, a scent that made them feel extremely at ease.
"You think Chaoxi is hallucinating, right?" Yintong knocked on his head. "Chaoxi is in Dongwu, thousands of miles away. How could she appear here?"
"But I think it's her..." Yinmu muttered, holding his head.
"Okay, come with me to the mountains to collect herbs. I recently saw a medicine in a book. The insects fed with it will be very delicious. Chaoxi will definitely like it." Yintong jumped down from the roof and went into the house to get the backpack.
"No..." Yinmu looked puzzled, "You really want to feed her insects? You are a saint..."
…
Having survived the Ghost Night under the protection of the gods, everyone was no longer in a hurry to travel and took a leisurely walk for ten days before returning to Kyoto.
The city gates are open,
Countless people rushed out to welcome...?
No, they were not there to welcome them back in triumph.
But go...
"Big brother, where are you going?" Li Yi stopped an old man and asked.
"Worship the sacred tree."
"Sacred tree? What sacred tree?"
"Of course it's the sacred tree that solved the drought and brought down divine rain to Dongwu." The old man was puzzled. How could this person be so uninformed that he didn't even know this!?
"At the end of last month, the sacred tree appeared in Jiangyang City, annihilated the demons that caused the drought, and sent down a rain, healing countless people suffering from illness overnight. Later, it sent a phoenix to bring tree seeds, which grew into towering trees in an instant..."
"A tree that grew up in an instant? Where is it?" A doll with a tiger-head hat and as delicate as a sculpture poked its head out of the carriage and asked in a milky voice.
The old man's disgusted expression instantly faded, and he said with a smile, "It's just seven miles east. It's lush and green, very eye-catching, and you can see it right away. Little kid, do you want to go and pay your respects? It will bless the whole family."
"Yeah." Rong Chaoxi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa. We'll be there soon."
"Hey." The old man smiled and said, "You must go."
"Chaoxi, do you want to go and take a look?" Rong Yubai asked.
After the Ghost Festival, the little guy was not interested in anything and was in a bad mood all the way.
Seeing that she was interested in a tree, he immediately grabbed it.
Rong Chaoxi shook his head and said, "Go home to find mother."
She gave that seed to the phoenix to use to protect her home when necessary.
But it appeared outside the city. Something must have happened, otherwise the phoenix would not have planted it so easily.
Enter the city gate.
Civil and military officials are already waiting inside.
Now the eldest prince is on an inspection tour south of the Yangtze River, the third prince has just returned from disaster relief work, and the fourth prince is only eight years old and cannot serve as a consul.
Only the eldest princess Han Shang led the court officials to welcome the triumphant return of the meritorious officials.
When they saw the carriages and horses entering the city, everyone immediately congratulated them.
Rong Baichuan sat on a tall horse and saw Qin Nanjing and Rong Xuqing in the crowd at a glance.
He dismounted, rushed over in a few steps, and hugged Qin Nanjing and Rong Xuqing in his arms.
"Jingniang, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you for two months. I miss you so much that I can't eat or drink, and I can't sleep at night. I've lost a lot of weight..."
