Chapter 39 She's Too Daring
The emperor's face was filled with black lines. What a great way to accumulate experience. "You are right. I will still have to listen to you in the future. People have to obey when they get old. Wait, I will not be paralyzed by the fall, right?"
After saying this, he felt like crying but had no tears.
When Jiang Yunxi reminded him that day, he was too ignorant and didn't think about his old age. Even if it didn't kill him, if his legs were broken or he became paralyzed, wouldn't that be more difficult than taking his life?
"He won't be paralyzed. Fortunately, he fell halfway. If he fell from the top, he would be paralyzed." Jiang Yunxi said directly. He used to be an emperor and a good emperor at that. Naturally, he would have good luck protecting him.
The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face, "That's good."
"But for the next ten days or half a month, you need to lie down and recuperate. Don't..."
"I will listen to you, everything you say." The emperor looked honest. Although ten days or half a month would be hard to endure, what else could he do? He could only listen to her.
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
A moment.
Eunuch Qin invited Emperor Su Ming and others in.
Jiang Yunxi told them about the condition of the retired emperor, saying that he was not seriously ill, but just needed to rest in the near future.
Emperor Su Ming was delighted after hearing this. He smiled broadly and said, "You cured the Emperor. What reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask the Emperor to come forward and ask Marquis Wenxin to tell us where the souls of the Xie family are suppressed. If he is unwilling to tell me, then we will confiscate the Marquis Wenxin's mansion and exile him, or even demote the Fifth Prince to the border." Jiang Yunxi said in public.
Of course she had to take advantage of the opportunity, otherwise she would have to spend time looking for the location of Xie's soul.
The people of the Xie family are victims. If they were allowed to reincarnate earlier, they would suffer less.
After she finished speaking, there was complete silence all around.
Everyone looked at her.
She was so bold.
Some people can't help but gloat in their hearts and wait to watch the show.
I guess Concubine Li and the Fifth Prince must be pissed to death right now.
"Okay, I promise you." Emperor Su Ming agreed readily.
"Thank you. Oh, I have no intention of targeting Concubine Li and the Fifth Prince. I just want to use them to threaten Marquis Wenxin." Jiang Yunxi felt that she should say this because she knew Concubine Li and the Fifth Prince were here.
But she didn't know them.
"Concubine Li and the Fifth Prince are broad-minded and won't care about it." Zhan Beiyuan said.
"That's good." Jiang Yunxi smiled slightly.
Emperor Su Ming looked at Concubine Li with a cold gaze.
Concubine Li hurried forward, smiling dignifiedly, and said, "Miss Jiang, if you can help quickly resolve the case at the Wenxin Marquis's Mansion, I will fully cooperate."
Jiang Yunxi looked at the woman who was speaking. She was probably not yet forty years old, but she was definitely approaching. However, her face looked like she was in her twenties, and her skin was as white as jade, delicate and tender. She was the most eye-catching person standing there.
It is something you will never forget once you see it.
She curled the corners of her mouth calmly. The other party must have used special maintenance methods, otherwise how could he stay young?
Both the brother and sister like to use unconventional methods.
It seems that if she has the chance, she will have to meet the ancestor of Wenxinhou Mansion.
"Since Concubine Li said so, please go to the prison in Jingzhao Yinfu and find out where the souls of the Xie family are suppressed." Jiang Yunxi said. It would definitely be best if she went there in person.
"Okay." How could Concubine Li refuse, but her heart sank.
…
The night is dark and the sky is filled with stars.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan arrived at an abandoned courtyard. In the evening, Concubine Li and the Fifth Prince went to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion together and quickly found out the place where the Xie family's souls were suppressed, a place they had never expected.
After the death of the Xie family members, the yard gradually became deserted. Lu Ze'an did not sell it. He would go there every year to pay tribute to the Xie family members. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a good son-in-law with affection and righteousness.
In the past ten years, no one knew his true identity.
Zhan Beiyuan pushed open the tightly closed door. Although the yard was not messy, it was dirty. There was dust and cobwebs everywhere, and weeds were overgrown. It was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
The two walked straight through the front yard and found the hidden dry well next to a locust tree in the backyard.
"There was no dry well near my house before. Lu Ze'an dug a new one." When Xie Sirou saw the dry well, there was a raging rage in her eyes. No wonder she couldn't find the souls of her family members. She didn't expect that they were in the Xie family.
"Go into the bag. There is a formation in the dry well. I have to break it so that the souls of your family members can come out." Jiang Yunxi said lightly. She sensed a very powerful formation.
"Thank you for your help. Please be careful." Xie Sirou said and disappeared.
Jiang Yunxi took out a paintbrush from her sleeve pocket. This was not an ordinary wolf-hair brush, but a magic tool that had been with her in every life. She walked to the wellhead, quickly drew a talisman in the four directions of east, south, west and north, and then chanted a spell.
In an instant.
The leaves on the locust tree rustled, and a cold wind suddenly blew up. All the fallen leaves on the ground flew up, forming a vortex and attacking Jiang Yunxi.
Jiang Yunxi frowned, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he swept the brush in his hand.
The leaves turned to ashes in an instant.
The cold wind gradually stopped.
"I'm going down, you wait up there." Jiang Yunxi said as he was about to jump down.
"I'll go with you." Zhan Beiyuan walked over. Although he was suspicious of this woman and knew she was lying, he couldn't let her go down alone at this moment.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him and said, "You can't help if you go down."
"How do you know that I can't help you?" Zhan Beiyuan said with a dark face. Although he was not a member of the Xuanmen, he also had some skills.
"Okay, let's go together." Jiang Yunxi agreed after thinking about something.
The inside of the well must be pitch black, and she could take the opportunity to see if he was the Purple Star.
The two found a rope at Xie's house and tied it to the locust tree.
"Take this." Jiang Yunxi handed him a talisman.
Zhan Beiyuan did not refuse, he knew there was something strange in the well.
Jiang Yunxi chose her to go down first. There must be a more powerful formation in the well, which not only suppresses the souls of the Xie family, but also prevents people from coming in.
Zhan Beiyuan did not compete with her to go down first. After seeing her grab the rope and go down, he also went down slowly.
It was unknown how long it took Jiang Yunxi to land on the ground. The ground was dry and hard when she stepped on it. Just as she expected, it was pitch black, very cold, and filled with a strong evil spirit. After sensing something, she sneered.
Someone had come down here in the past few days and had tampered with the well. They probably guessed that she would come here eventually and wanted to prevent her from getting out.
A formation within a formation is trying to restrain her!
Zhan Beiyuan landed quickly, and suddenly a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him feel cold all over. He even heard some excited roars, like those made by a starving person after seeing delicious food.
Danger!
It was his first instinct!
"Can I light a fire?" Zhan Beiyuan asked. Knowing that they would be doing it at night, he naturally brought it with him.
"No." Jiang Yunxi approached him following the voice.
It was dark, and she was watching how he hid.
