Chapter 248 The Seventh Princess's Experience
The Seventh Princess couldn't stop crying and trembled in Yun Qingqing's arms.
"I lost consciousness the moment I left the Imperial City that day, and when I woke up, my body was out of control... wuwuwu..."
"That person gave me an order to disguise myself as a maid and blend into the delegation. I couldn't speak or resist his orders. No matter what he said, my body moved on its own..."
"I didn't expect that he would later order me to assassinate the emperor of your Liang Kingdom! I'm so scared... If it weren't for you, not only would I be dead this time, I would also become a sinner for all eternity... "
Yun Qingqing's brows were tightly furrowed.
She naturally knew that Tiangong Yansheng was a strange and sinister magic.
The soul and body of the person who is hit will be separated. The body will be like a puppet, obeying the caster's orders, but the soul can only be a bystander, watching the bad guy command its body at will, unable to do anything.
She had only seen this kind of magic once in her previous life.
The caster was extremely cold-blooded and vicious. He devoted himself to studying the art of refining ghosts. He felt that the resentment generated by torturing ordinary people's bodies was limited, and that the evil ghosts he refined were not ferocious enough, so he came up with an extremely vicious method.
He used the Tiangong Yansheng technique on a younger generation who had always respected him, controlled the younger generation's body, imprisoned his entire family, and did all kinds of inhuman things to him.
The soul of the younger generation had to watch his family members being tortured at his hands every day, and endure their hatred and insults. He felt that his life was worse than death, and he could only pray countless times for the evil man to kill him. Of course, the evil man would not let him do as he wished.
This was not enough. After torturing the younger generation's family for more than a month, the evil man began to control him to kill his family.
Every few days, one person is chosen and slaughtered in public, using cruel and endless methods.
The younger generation’s soul completely collapsed.
When the people from Xuanmen realized something was wrong and finally arrived, less than half of the family of more than 30 people were left, and the soul of the younger generation was already filled with resentment. Even the Thousand-Year Ghost King would have been willing to be defeated if he saw it.
The leader of the Xuanmen group at that time was Yun Qingqing, who had just been appointed as the young master of Xuanmen.
She punished the evildoers with thundering means, but she could not directly disperse the vengeful soul as if it were an ordinary evil ghost. It took some effort to finally suppress the resentment and make it regain its sanity. She wanted to send it to the underworld and hand it over to the King of Hell for resettlement.
After all, he is also a victim, and the crimes committed by the evil people through him are not his fault.
However, as soon as the soul regained its sanity, it destroyed itself without hesitation, leaving itself no room at all.
Yun Qingqing still had a vivid memory of that tragedy, so when she looked at the little girl who had just escaped from Tiangong's nightmare, she could fully understand her fear and terror at that moment.
She sighed, raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on Situ Qinglan's face, and said softly:
"It's all over. Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Situ Qinglan cried even harder.
Yun Qingqing had never dealt with such a situation before. She pursed her lips for a while and then said:
"I'll make you a protective amulet. Wear it on your body and ordinary evil spells won't be able to hurt you. If you're in danger, I'll be able to find out in time."
Situ Qinglan's shoulders trembled and she stopped crying.
"Really?" She looked up at Yun Qingqing with tearful eyes, still sobbing uncontrollably.
Yun Qingqing nodded seriously.
"Thank you!" Situ Qinglan buried her head in her shoulder and sobbed twice.
"Qingqing, you are so nice... What would I do without you..."
Yun Qingqing looked down at the little girl who was curled up in her arms like a little animal, and subconsciously touched the top of her soft head.
Suddenly, a big hand stretched out from behind, took her hand away, and then grabbed another person's collar and separated the two people.
Yun Qingqing was grabbed and embraced by someone and fell into a broad and strong embrace.
Situ Qinglan was thrown back onto the bed. She was looking for who had thrown her like that in annoyance, but when she looked up, she immediately shrank into the corner of the bed as if she was frightened.
Yun Qingqing turned around and looked at the dark-faced prince who suddenly appeared, and said in surprise:
"What are you doing?"
As she spoke, she struggled, but was held tightly by Xiao Changheng.
She couldn't help but frown:
"Let me go first."
But the man had no intention of letting her go. Instead, he pressed most of his body weight towards her, his warm breath right beside her ears.
"Qingqing, my legs hurt." A faint voice sounded in her ears.
Yun Qingqing's expression immediately turned serious, and she reached out to help him:
"How come? Sit down first, let me take a look."
However, Xiao Changheng did not fulfill her wish. He glanced at the Seventh Princess curled up in bed and said to Yun Qingqing:
"There are outsiders here, let's go to another place to watch."
Yun Qingqing was stunned again, and when she raised her eyes again, her pupils were shining brightly.
She looked Xiao Changheng up and down, then rolled her eyes, pulled the man hanging on her body off, and pushed him aside, saying:
"Then it seems that you are not in that much pain. Just wait a little longer until I finish my work."
After that, she ignored Xiao Changheng and turned to ask Situ Qinglan:
"You just said that you were ambushed after leaving the Imperial City? Why did you leave the Imperial City? Weren't you accompanied by any guards at the time?"
The reason why she asked this was because the imperial capital of a country was protected by its own great fortune, even a small country like Jing was no exception, not to mention that as a princess of a country, she was always under strict protection.
If she hadn't left the imperial city, Chu Jingyan wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily.
So Yun Qingqing noticed that she said "she lost consciousness just after leaving the imperial city" and immediately realized that something was wrong.
After hearing her question, Situ Qinglan's face tightened, she bit her lip, and said a little embarrassedly:
"It's too boring to stay in the palace, so I wanted to come to Daliang secretly to play with you...but I didn't expect..."
Her movements became quieter and quieter, and it was obvious that she knew the consequences of her willfulness this time would be serious. Her eyes became sore and filled with tears.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't run away without telling my father and without any guards, this wouldn't have happened... Xiuzhu is missing too. I wonder if she's safe now..."
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes:
"Did someone give you the idea to sneak out?"
"...Xiuzhu was doing this for my own good. If she hadn't accidentally heard the Imperial Concubine instigating my father to arrange a marriage for me, I might have been forced to marry someone I don't like." Situ Qinglan was depressed.
Yun Qingqing heard the obvious problem here.
She saw it with her own eyes that the Seventh Princess was the most beloved daughter of the King of Jing.
But this time she didn't want to be arranged to marry, so she didn't go to the king to argue or even make a fuss. Instead, she sneaked out of the imperial city quietly.
Yun Qingqing sighed and looked at Situ Qinglan seriously:
"Did that maid named Xiuzhu tell you that the king listened to the imperial concubine's instigation and was determined to arrange a marriage for you? Even if you made a scene, he planned to coax you and calm you down first, and then find a way to force you to accept the arranged marriage?"
Situ Qinglan stared at her with eyes wide open:
"…That's about it, how did you know!"
Yun Qingqing said coldly:
"Was it Xiuzhu's idea to sneak out of the imperial city without guards?"
Situ Qinglan nodded.
"The route we take after leaving the city was also arranged by her, right?" Yun Qingqing asked again.
Situ Qinglan seemed to realize something, and her face turned pale:
"you mean……"
Yun Qingqing looked straight at her:
"You don't have to worry about your maid's safety, because she is the villain's spy planted next to you!"
