Chapter 367 A Horrifying Scene
Wuji Palace.
Princess Mingzhu lay on the bed, her face pale as paper, and said weakly, "I'm afraid I can't accompany my father anymore..."
"Zhu'er, don't let your imagination run wild." The emperor soothed her softly, "Father has asked the Fan family to find assassins from the Wusheng Sect. Once targeted by the assassins from the Wusheng Sect, it's a fight to the death. There's no way she can escape this time!"
As he was speaking, someone outside announced that the Concubine Shu had arrived.
Concubine Shu hurried in, "Your Majesty, is there any news about the escape route?"
The emperor stood up excitedly and asked, "Did you succeed?"
Concubine Shu shook her head.
"Wushengmen's assassination attempt failed?" The emperor's face turned grim. "That evildoer is quite capable! But it doesn't matter. Since Wushengmen has accepted this job, we will give it our all."
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu said in embarrassment, "My brother said that the one from Heihe Village is now admired by countless people. I'm afraid she really is protected by the heavens, and it's very likely that the Wusheng Sect will be unable to do anything to her..."
"What are you talking about?" the emperor said unhappily. "If Heaven wants to bless you, it will only bless Mingzhu!"
"Father, Mother, Zhu'er wants to rest quietly for a while." Princess Mingzhu suddenly spoke.
"Okay, then Zhu'er, take a good rest. I'll be leaving first."
The emperor and his concubine went to the main hall next door.
The room fell silent.
Princess Mingzhu stretched out her hand weakly, and after exerting some force, black mist mysteriously overflowed from her palm.
"Caw! Caw!" The sound of crows came from outside the window.
Princess Mingzhu got up with difficulty and opened the back window.
A crow flew in and landed on the bedpost.
"Oh? Uncle couldn't bear to kill her?"
Princess Mingzhu had a sneer on her lips.
"Second uncle transported countless treasures to Heihe Village to please her?"
"Are they all blind? What's so good about her?!"
Princess Mingzhu clutched the quilt tightly with her fingers, and her eyes became vicious.
"Ridiculous! Just because she's lucky enough to share the same mother as me, she really thinks she's some lucky star!"
"A little brat who is still wet behind the ears, you dare to argue with me!"
Princess Mingzhu licked her pale lips, a cold smile on her lips, and glanced in the direction of the main hall with contempt.
"Useless piece of trash! In the end, I have to take action myself!"
After saying that, he walked out slowly.
When the palace maids saw the bedridden Princess Mingzhu get up on her own, they were surprised and asked, "Princess, where are you going? We'll go get the sedan chair ready! Princess, please don't get tired!"
"I won't die! Don't follow me!"
Along the way, the palace servants knelt down one after another. Princess Mingzhu said nothing and went straight to the exotic animal garden.
The palace servants who were guarding the wild beasts were extremely surprised to see Princess Mingzhu walking alone. Princess Mingzhu was always surrounded by people when she went out.
"Princess, what beast would you like to feed today? I'll prepare it right away!"
"No more feeding today, open the door."
"yes!"
The palace servants worked together to push open the heavy door, and the scene in the exotic animal garden appeared before their eyes.
There were all kinds of rare birds and animals locked in countless iron cages of different sizes. When the beasts saw Princess Mingzhu, they became excited.
Because Princess Mingzhu is here, it means they have delicious food.
"Close the door, no need to follow." Princess Mingzhu ordered.
"Princess..." the palace attendants said anxiously, "The Emperor has instructed that the princess, being young, cannot face these ferocious beasts alone. She must be accompanied when entering the garden."
"That's just what he thinks." Princess Mingzhu showed disdain on her face, "I know the truth."
The palace maids dared not speak.
"The key!" Princess Mingzhu stretched out her hand.
The palace maid was shocked: "Princess!"
After those wild beasts were locked in the cage, the door of the iron cage was never opened. Why did the princess need the key?
"Princess, once the cage is opened, the consequences will be disastrous. Please think twice."
"Who said I was going to open it?" Princess Mingzhu smiled nonchalantly. "I was just checking the door locks. Those that have been in disrepair need to be replaced! Bring them here!"
The palace servants did not dare to disobey and handed over all the keys.
Princess Mingzhu took the key and said, "Close the door! No one is allowed to come in without my order!"
The heavy iron door closed behind her, and Princess Mingzhu walked calmly past the tall cage.
The giant python opened its bloody mouth and pounced on her.
Princess Mingzhu curled her lips and smiled: "Blind thing!"
…
The terrifying cries of wild beasts were heard in the exotic animal garden.
The palace maids were terrified. They didn't dare to disobey the princess's order, but they were also worried that the princess would be in danger. "No, we must report this to the emperor!"
Someone went to call the emperor, and the rest of the people couldn't help but be curious and secretly pushed the door open a crack.
When they saw this, everyone's teeth started to chatter.
The exotic animal garden was in a mess, with the corpses of wild animals lying scattered on the ground: tigers, giant pythons, lions, bears, all dead...
Princess Mingzhu was covered in blood and sat on the beast's corpse.
She muttered something, and the beast's blood seemed to be sucked into the air by some force. A black smoke condensed in Princess Mingzhu's hand, and the black smoke quickly wrapped up the beast's blood.
Afterwards, it condensed into a blood-red bead...
Princess Mingzhu grabbed the pearl with her blood-stained hands and put it into her mouth without hesitation.
…
When the emperor arrived, he was shocked by the horrifying scene before him.
"Mingzhu, you you you..." The emperor was so shocked that he was speechless.
Princess Mingzhu's eyes were filled with tears. "Father, I am the reincarnation of a god. Now my magic weapon has been stolen. I must save myself!"
"Zhu'er, are you cured?" the emperor asked in surprise.
"I'm fine for now. The beast's blood has made me stronger." Princess Mingzhu blinked innocently. "Father, you won't blame me, will you?"
"How could I blame you? I'm so happy! It turns out this method can cure your illness. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Your Highness is worried that your father will think Mingzhu is cruel and will no longer love her."
"You silly child." The emperor didn't mind her blood stain at all and picked her up. "How could I despise you? You are the hope of Dayu!"
"Father, I can't be weak anymore. I want to take back everything that belongs to me!" Princess Mingzhu said softly, "Father, you won't blame me for being cruel, will you?"
"How could that be?" The emperor gently wiped the blood from her face. "If the situation in the capital hadn't been unstable, I would have personally led the army to attack Heihe Village! How does Mingzhu plan to deal with that evil creature?"
"I heard there's a mountain in Heihe Village that's full of ferocious beasts." Princess Mingzhu's eyes flashed with pride, "And your son happens to understand the language of beasts."
"Since she doesn't dare to come to the capital, I will go to Heihe Village myself to meet this sister who is trying to replace me."
"Don't those untouchables all revere her as a god? I'll show them what a true god is!"
