Xue Huan watched the man and the fox interact for a while, then turned around and left to do her own thing.
Hezhu looked at the fox demon with a gloating look. At least she could still maintain her human form and walk freely, but the fox demon could only keep its original form and serve as a pet for children. She was more miserable, haha.
With this comparison, she instantly felt a sense of superiority and happiness, and happily followed Xue Huan.
The fox demon lay listlessly in Yun Che's arms, feeling that his fox life was going to be tragic.
"Little fox, what's wrong with you? Are you hungry?" The fox demon's ears moved. After hearing what the little brat said, she did feel a little hungry.
Yun Che happily took out his snacks and shared them with the little fox.
There were candies, biscuits, cakes... a lot of food, all of which Xue Huan made for the little ones. Children, after all, liked to eat snacks, so she made the ones she had eaten and thought were delicious.
Speaking of which, she has a pretty good talent for cooking. After eating something once, she can basically identify the raw materials, and then restore the food, and the taste is even better than what she has eaten before.
Yun Che took a small piece of cake and fed it to the little fox, "This cake is delicious. It's my favorite. Try it."
The fox demon snorted inwardly. How could the food a human cub liked to eat be that delicious? But it did smell quite sweet, and since it was right in front of her, she reluctantly took a bite.
Then... bite after bite, she couldn't stop eating.
The fox demon is now in a mimicry form, so she looks small, but in fact her real body is as big as a room, so her appetite is naturally very big.
Yun Che's snacks were not enough to fill her stomach.
She ate up all the snacks on the table in no time.
Yun Che was originally quite happy to feed the little fox, but when he went to get some more, he found nothing. All his snacks had been eaten by the little fox!
Looking at the empty table and then at the innocent-looking little fox, Yun Che's tears fell.
The fox demon's scalp tingled. If that witch Xue Huan knew that she had made this little brat cry, she would definitely skin her alive. Her fox eyes rolled around, she stood up on her hind legs and started dancing.
Yun Che's attention was immediately drawn to him. He watched the little fox dance with curiosity. How could he remember to cry?
Without the fox demon causing trouble and sucking the emperor's essence, the emperor's vitality was no longer lost. After the careful treatment of the imperial doctors, the emperor's illness gradually improved.
By taking tonic medicine every day, the lost energy is slowly replenished.
However, every time the emperor recalled that he had once had an infatuation with a fox demon, he would feel a pang of fear and would often have nightmares and wake up from them in shock.
The emperor did not sleep well at night, so he was naturally not energetic during the day. The bags under his eyes gradually became heavier. The court officials were very frightened, fearing that the emperor would fall ill again one day and would never be able to recover.
As a result, the calls for establishing a crown prince grew louder in the court.
To be disrespectful, by appointing a crown prince, even if the emperor dies one day, the ministers will not panic and the country will not be in chaos.
The emperor knew this very well, so he had always been disgusted with the idea of ​​appointing a crown prince. He felt that the court officials were eager to pledge allegiance to the next emperor, so he directly refused the first time.
However, the court officials would not give up easily, so they repeatedly submitted memorials requesting the establishment of a crown prince.
This time the emperor did not refuse, but asked in a deep voice: "Then, my dear ministers, who do you think should be appointed as the crown prince?"
The ministers below began to send representatives to nominate the crown prince candidate favored by their own factions.
Currently, there are five competitive adult princes. Originally there were seven, but the third prince Xiao Kun has passed away, and Prince Ning was unfortunately sucked into a mummy by a fox demon, with only one breath left. Now he is hanging on to his life with medicine. Not to mention competing for the throne, it is unknown whether he can survive.
In this way, there are only five princes left: the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth.
Each of these princes has his own supporters.
The Fourth Prince's faction said that the Fourth Prince was courteous, gentle, and had the demeanor of a gentleman. The Sixth Prince's faction disagreed and listed all the advantages and achievements of the Sixth Prince, and took the opportunity to step on the Fourth Prince.
The Seventh Prince's faction was unwilling to fall behind and also joined the battle.
The various princes' factions quarreled with each other fiercely, and the court meeting turned into a vegetable market.
The emperor at the top was furious and slammed the armrest of the dragon throne: "Enough! Shut up!"
The emperor's heart couldn't bear the anger and he fell down on the spot.
"His Majesty!"
Everyone was panicked.
The emperor was carried back to his bedroom, and the imperial physician arrived immediately. After diagnosis, he said that the emperor was extremely angry and needed to rest.
On the one hand, the court officials were worried about the emperor's illness, but on the other hand, they became more determined to appoint a crown prince. Otherwise, if the emperor suddenly passed away one day and no crown prince was appointed, who would take charge of the situation?
However, the emperor refused to meet with the ministers on the grounds of recuperation, and the ministers were helpless for a while.
At this time, a series of murders occurred in the capital. The number of deaths had reached five, and each person died in exactly the same way, suffocating to death with their faces torn off.
These five people have one thing in common, that is, they are all beauties with good looks.
For a time, everyone in the capital felt insecure. After all, no one thinks they are ugly.
At this time, the emperor suddenly issued an edict that whoever solved the case would be made the crown prince.
It seems like a joke, but when you think about it carefully, you will find that this method is very good.
In order to compete for the position of crown prince, the princes will certainly do their best. In this way, the case can be solved as quickly as possible and the number of victims can be minimized.
Secondly, solving the case and catching the murderer is not an easy task. Ability, power, manpower and other aspects are all indispensable. This is a head-on battle.
And the most important point is that because of this case, people in the capital are in a panic and are eager to catch the murderer. Whoever can solve this case will definitely win the love of the people!
Based on these points, none of the court officials opposed this seemingly frivolous plan to establish a crown prince.
After receiving the order, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and fifth princes all showed their special abilities and worked hard to solve the case.
At this time, another man was killed.
It happened on the second day when several princes participated in solving the case, and it was during the day.
It was like the murderer was deliberately provoking me: Do you think I will lie low and be honest for a while under the heavy pursuit? No, you underestimate me too much. Even if you set up a dragnet, I can still kill people without anyone noticing.
The atmosphere in the capital is becoming increasingly tense, and now few people dare to go out at night.
Three days... five days... ten days... half a month passed, and there was still no progress in the case. The number of victims increased by five more, with almost one person dying every three days, suffocated to death, with their skin peeled off.
The people became increasingly uneasy and lost more and more confidence in the princes.
Just then, news came that the murderer was caught!
Captured by the Fourth Prince!
