"The third brother actually believed it."
The Third Prince took Qiuqiu's hand and they walked into the palace together.
The Emperor said, "To protect Qiuqiu, no one is to divulge what happened today!"
Everyone: "Yes!"
The Emperor said, "The most urgent task is to find several thousand outstanding scholars to chant scriptures and exorcise demons day and night. Crown Prince, I entrust this matter to you!"
Crown Prince: "Yes!"
The Emperor said, "Scholars should be carefully selected, and those who have made special contributions will be able to rise smoothly in their official careers!"
Crown Prince: "Yes, Father!"
The Emperor picked up Chiu Chiu and asked, "Chiu Chiu, are you tired?"
Chiu Chiu shook her head.
These little demons are no match for me. However, the Third Prince is in danger.
The Empress and the Emperor both heard it.
They all looked at the Third Prince simultaneously.
The third prince was born with a weak constitution. He almost died from an illness last time, so there can be no more mishaps.
The Third Prince's fate was already fragile. With the demons sweeping in, if he doesn't have someone to protect him constantly, he might be invaded by the demons, and the consequences of his body being taken over would be unimaginable!
The Empress and the Emperor were both terrified when they heard this.
Of course, the Third Prince overheard these words.
The Third Prince thought that Qiuqiu was omnipotent, so he was not surprised that he could hear Qiuqiu's thoughts.
The Third Prince asked Qiuqiu nonchalantly, "Qiuqiu, what if the demon comes again? I'm scared!"
Chirp patted her chest and said, "I'll protect you!"
The Empress and the Emperor exchanged a glance and nodded.
This is also a good approach.
Since Qiuqiu has the ability to exorcise demons, then having the Third Prince follow her is naturally safe and worry-free.
The Emperor: "Chirp chirp, you have to take responsibility for your words! Well then, for the time being, I'm entrusting the Third Prince to you!"
Xu Ruyun was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth.
This is a prince! Even if Qiuqiu has the greatest abilities, can she protect a prince?
Chiu Chiu smiled when she saw her mother's embarrassed expression.
[Mother, protecting the prince is no problem for me. It's nothing, nothing at all.]
Empress Dowager: "If the third prince is going to follow Qiuqiu, you mustn't mistreat Qiuqiu."
The Emperor said, "Of course. During the time that the Third Prince was with Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu's food, clothing, and daily necessities were all treated like royalty!"
"Wow!"
The eunuchs and palace maids couldn't help but sigh.
The emperor almost mistook it for royal treatment, saying it was like being treated like a princess.
It seems I'll have to take good care of this little darling from now on; he's no ordinary person!
The Empress Dowager took Qiuqiu's little hand and said, "Qiuqiu, stay with me for a few days. We can go home after the demonic energy outside has subsided a bit, okay?"
Chirp nodded repeatedly.
[Being well-fed and watered in the palace, Chiu Chiu didn't want to leave.]
Seeing that Qiuqiu nodded, the Empress and the Emperor were relieved.
With Qiuqiu around, the demonic energy no longer dared to run rampant, and they could focus on handling government affairs with peace of mind.
Xiao Zhenzhen lived a miserable life in the Qi family mansion.
She thought that becoming the mistress of the house would give her everything she wanted, but things weren't as wonderful as she imagined.
After Xiao Zhenzhen discovered that the Qi family was just an empty shell, her temper became increasingly volatile.
After paying the servants their monthly wages and paying off the debts, Xiao Zhenzhen found herself struggling financially.
After the Qi family spent all the few hundred taels of silver they had left, they even had to give her some money to cover the month's expenses.
Xiao Zhenzhen grew increasingly angry, and seeing Qi Jiating didn't make her feel as happy as before.
When Qi Jiating got home, he was met with a barrage of scolding from Xiao Zhenzhen.
How did this woman, who was so delicate and charming in public, become like this today?
Qi Jiating recalled the scene of Chen Taifu holding Xu Ruyun, and a sense of jealousy began to rise in his heart.
That night, Qi Jiating tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
He wondered: What's wrong with me? I've never loved Xu Ruyun. Why do I feel so bad when she's with other men?
Could it be that the person I've always loved isn't my cousin, but Xu Ruyun?
No, no, everything is in chaos.
The Qi residence was filled with resentment and hostility.
Faced with Xiao Zhenzhen's endless scolding and complaints, this resentment further fueled the demonic energy within a person's heart.
This person is Jinlan.
Jinlan is the reincarnation of the great demon.
Unfortunately, she was too weak to turn the world upside down.
But now, the resentment in the Qi family has greatly increased her power.
It seems it's time to test my abilities.
That night, when Xiao Zhenzhen was cursing Qi Jiating the most fiercely, Jin Lan exerted her power and summoned all the resentment within thousands of kilometers.
The resentment transformed into demonic energy, attacking the palace, residences, forests, and every corner.
That's how the scene of Chiu Chiu in the palace came about.
Fortunately, the power of the Flame God Sword is still intact.
When the Flame God Sword returned from the palace, it fought its way through thousands of kilometers of resentment and demonic energy, eventually weakening the demonic energy until it lost its ability to harm people.
However, the remaining demonic energy in the air still needs to be purified by scholars.
