"Prince Pingxi! How dare you use the late king to intimidate me!"
"Today I will show you who truly calls the shots in this dynasty!"
Li Shengyuan was filled with rage. He drew the heavy iron sword from his waist and slashed at him.
The Prince of Pingxi knelt down and closed his eyes.
They did not dodge.
With an expression of facing death without flinching, even if Mount Tai collapsed before his eyes, he would remain unmoved.
"choke."
Swords clashed.
Sparks flew.
At the critical moment, Li Changyu drew his longsword and blocked the attack.
"Father, please calm your anger."
"Stop right now! How dare you! With me here, how can you allow yourself to kill loyal and virtuous people!"
The Empress Dowager struck her dragon-headed cane heavily, her anger barely contained.
"Mother, you've also colluded with them to deceive me!"
"emperor!"
The Empress Dowager was furious with him. She stepped forward shakily, snatched the iron sword from his hand, and handed it to Xu Ninghai, who was standing to the side.
"The peace and prosperity of the Great Yue Kingdom today is all thanks to these old ministers who fought alongside you. Which is more important, a few concubines or your ministers?"
"I don't want to hear these grand principles, Prince Pingxi! You deliberately plotted to harm the Princess Consort; your crime is unforgivable!"
"Your Majesty, my brother did not. He... he did indeed capture a demon, and that Bai Lingyu is it!"
Empress Ru immediately knelt down and begged for mercy on behalf of Prince Pingxi.
Upon hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with cold light, and his face suddenly darkened: "Where is Consort Yu! Where is she! What have you done to her!"
"Your Majesty is truly worried about that vixen's safety! Rest assured, Master Kongwang has already gone to capture her. Once she is apprehended, Your Majesty will know at a glance whether she is human or demon!"
Empress Rouci said coldly.
"You! Who gave you permission to treat her like this!" The Emperor was furious. "How could my beloved concubine be a demon!"
"This old minister is willing to stake his life on it! If Bai Lingyu is not a demon, this old minister is willing to accept His Majesty's punishment! Without a second thought!"
The powerful voice of the Prince of Pingxi echoed in the Buddhist hall, producing resounding sounds.
"All the gods and Buddhas of these mountains may come and bear witness for this humble subject!"
Having said all that, Li Shengyuan couldn't do anything more to him, otherwise it would be a disgrace to him as emperor.
"Prince Pingxi is loyal and courageous, and he cares so much for me and the Great Yue Dynasty. It seems I should thank you!"
The Prince of Pingxi knew that the emperor was being sarcastic.
He remained silent.
at the same time.
A quiet room separated by a curtain.
Mi Shan lay on the bed, listening to the sounds outside, while Qiao Yunsheng took her pulse.
Qiao Yunsheng's expression changed slightly after just one probe, turning red and then blue.
He glanced at the palace servants beside him.
I don't know whether I should say it or not.
Mi Shan hurriedly said, "Is Physician Qiao alright? I was just taken hostage by the thugs and fell down the slope while trying to escape."
After saying that, she winked at him.
Qiao Yunsheng understood immediately.
He knows what to say and what not to say.
"Indeed, Consort Mi suffered some internal injuries. She just needs to rest more, move around less, and avoid strenuous exercise. She should recover in three to five days."
After Qiao Yunsheng finished speaking, he pursed his lips, gave Mi Shan a deep look, and was deeply moved.
Mi Shan naturally knew that he had already figured it out.
Fortunately, I had reminded him beforehand.
Otherwise, it's not certain that we'll be able to get through this hurdle.
She owes her cousin and Sister Xue so much.
The words were spoken.
The curtain was lifted.
The Emperor stepped in, took her hand with concern, and looked at her with pity.
"My beloved concubine, how are you?"
"Your Majesty, I am fine, I just suffered a minor injury."
Only Prince Rui, with a complicated expression, stared at Mi Shan, unwilling to leave.
The way he looked at the emperor was as if he were looking at a sucker.
"Your Majesty, you only care about your two concubines. Haven't you noticed that one person is missing?"
"Che'er is still lying in bed in pain. Even the imperial physicians cannot alleviate his suffering."
Empress Rouci clutched her chest, her voice cold with anguish, and her eyes filled with disappointment.
"Che'er? What happened to him?"
The emperor was startled and quickly turned around.
Mi Shan's eyes flashed with understanding.
The eldest prince was bitten by a poisonous centipede, which will cause him to develop poisonous sores. This torment will last for more than half a month.
Ordinary ointments cannot treat this condition.
After all, it was a Gu worm that she had painstakingly created, so she was the one who had to cure it.
But she didn't want to help him at that moment, or make him suffer more.
"Your Majesty should go and see for yourself! It seems he has been bewitched! He wouldn't have been injured if he hadn't been chasing after the demon!"
"If my son cannot recover, I will not live on alone!"
The emperor had no time to comfort her and rushed to visit Li Xuanche.
Xuanche was the only child left to him by Consort Lou.
He had promised Consort Lou that he would treat her well.
Seeing Li Xuanche lying in bed in this state now fills me with deep sorrow.

Wanfoshan (Mount Wanfo)
Bai Lingyu put on her clothes and gave him a seductive glance.
"Little master, you're awake?"
"You fox demon... who gave you the audacity to use your seductive arts on me and break my invincible body!"
Kong Wang's face was pale and his clothes were disheveled. Only after he regained consciousness did he recall what he had done.
His master only taught him the magical tools and spells for catching demons.
He was not taught how to guard against the cunning tricks of these monsters.
He followed the wisp of white mist to this spot and saw the woman bathing in the pool.
Completely naked, water droplets slid down her curvaceous, snow-white body.
He instinctively avoided looking at her, turned his head, and faced away from her.
Seeing this, Bai Lingyu said, "Little Master, I know you're here to capture me. You've set up a barrier on this mountain, and I'm injured and don't have the strength to escape. Could you hand me the clothes on the shore? I'll put them on and go with you."
“I’m not looking at you. Get up and put it on yourself.”
"But I don't have the strength anymore. Why don't you get down and carry me up?"
have no choice.
Kong Wang had no choice but to pick up the clothes and hand them to her, turning his head away from her.
Unexpectedly, Bai Lingyu grabbed his hand and pulled him into the pool...
