Chapter 411: Really Scheming
"How dare you, a crow spirit, attack people!" Jiang Jingyan roared. Although his IQ and vision were indeed not as good as his sister's, he was definitely not the worst in the family. How could he be the one to drag her down?
"I am not a crow, open your eyes and see clearly." The divine bird said proudly with its wings on its waist and its round belly sticking out.
"If it's not a crow, then what else could it be? Could it be that the Sky Kingdom regards you as a divine bird? Do you really think you are a divine bird?" Jiang Jingyan said with disgust. When he woke up in the morning, his sister told them what happened last night.
What made everyone happiest was that my sister got the body parts here.
"You, you, you..." The divine bird was choked.
"Hey, you look so evil, what on earth are you?" Lingci couldn't help but poke its round belly. The owner said that it was taller than a human, so luckily he shrunk it.
The divine bird immediately protected its belly with its wings. "I don't know who I am. When I regained consciousness, I was imprisoned in that hellish place. I don't know how long I've been there. Anyway, I won't die if I don't eat or drink."
"What do you think? Could it be that I'm a divine beast, and was harmed by someone into this state?"
When it said the latter part, it looked proud.
"Mianmian, eat more. Don't be hungry." Zhan Beiyuan put the buns in his daughter's bowl into his daughter's bowl, and then picked one for his son. "Eat more so you can grow taller and protect your mother and sister in the future."
"Daddy is right." Momo picked up the bun and ate it with a smile on his face.
"The porridge in this restaurant is good and nutritious. Have another bowl each..." Lingci said as she started to serve porridge to everyone.
"Miss, now that you have the body parts here, what are your plans next?" The eldest princess looked at Jiang Yunxi and asked. The young lady only needed two more body parts before she could merge with her former body.
Jiang Yunxi drank a mouthful of porridge and said, "Since I promised the Prime Minister's wife to find my daughter, I must do it."
She wouldn't leave just because she got the body parts.
Everything has to have a beginning and an end.
She also wanted to find out why the other party wanted to kill people and capture unmarried women.
"Miss, you still keep your promises as before." The eldest princess said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, everyone else started praising Jiang Yunxi.
Divine Bird: “…”
What's the meaning?
Is it being ignored?
These humans are so hateful. If it hadn't eaten enough, it would have abandoned them long ago!
After breakfast.
Jiang Yunxi took everyone to the Dali Temple.
When Shao Qiyuan learned that she had arrived, he went to greet her in person, "Miss Jiang, I arranged for someone to conduct a thorough investigation last night, but I didn't find that they had handled anything together."
"Have you counted the birth dates of the missing girls?" Jiang Yunxi came to him for this, wanting to confirm whether the other missing girls were still alive.
"Here, I was just about to go to the inn to find you." Shao Qiyuan handed her a piece of paper with her birth date written on it.
Jiang Yunxi took it and counted them one by one, his brows relaxed, "They are all still alive. They must have been captured and locked up somewhere."
Shao Qiyuan's eyes lit up, "That's great."
"Did anyone die today?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"We haven't received any reports, so there should be no deaths." Shao Qiyuan said quickly. He had been praying yesterday, hoping that no one would die.
Jiang Yunxi had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Zhan Luochen touched his chin, "Before, one person died every day, but no one died today. Did they stop?"
"It's really possible, but why would they capture unmarried girls?" Shao Qiyuan didn't understand this, and they were all daughters of the deceased.
"He may not stop. As for the fact that he captured the unmarried girl but didn't kill her, he must be waiting for the right opportunity to take action." Jiang Yunxi said her guess, and she thought of the woman last night.
It looked like she had to go find her.
"It's a pity that we don't know where the woman went last night. Maybe we can start with her." Zhan Beiyuan said. At that time, getting the body parts was the most important thing, so they naturally wouldn't chase her.
"I know where she is." Jiang Yunxi smiled mysteriously.
Although she did not chase the other person last night, she still did some tricks secretly. Now that a suspicious person appeared, she naturally could not miss him.
Jiang Yunxi took out the talisman to track the person, and finally found that the person was in the palace.
In fact, she guessed that the other person was someone from the palace.
After all, the clouds are right next to the palace.
"I want to go into the palace. The person who controls the evil spirit may be in the palace." Jiang Yunxi looked at Shao Qiyuan and said, now probably only he can take her into the palace.
"This..." Shao Qiyuan had an embarrassment on his face. After all, she was from Tenglong Country, and he didn't dare to bring her into the palace casually.
Jiang Yunxi knew why he was in such a dilemma. "You can go to the palace first to explain the situation to the emperor. After he agrees, you can leave the palace and take me in."
The imperial palace is a place like that. How could a Dali Temple official dare to bring outsiders in at will?
She understands this.
"Okay, I'll go into the palace right now." Shao Qiyuan felt that this was the right approach, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bring outsiders into the palace.
…
Imperial Palace.
"Are you sure that the other party can find out about the strange things that have happened recently in the capital?" The emperor of Cang Qiong Kingdom looked at Shao Qiyuan. How could a Xuanmen disciple from Tenglong Kingdom be so powerful?
You should know that even the national master couldn’t solve the problem of evil spirits.
"Your Majesty, I think she can definitely do it. The one traveling with her is King Han of Tenglong Country. If she dares to act recklessly, we can detain Zhan Beiyuan." This was all Shao Qiyuan could say.
"King Han of Tenglong Kingdom is here too?" The emperor looked a little solemn. Why did he come to Cangkong Kingdom for no reason?
"Yes." Shao Qiyuan said.
The emperor thought for a moment and waved his hand, "Go and ask Prince Han and Miss Jiang to come to the palace together."
Shao Qiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I'll go right away."
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan had been in the carriage. After seeing Shao Qiyuan come out, they got off the carriage. They had just discussed that they should settle the matter in the capital of Cang Qiong Kingdom as soon as possible so that they could go to the next place.
"Prince Han, Miss Jiang, the emperor invites you in." Shao Qiyuan said with a smile.
Jiang Yunxi knew that the other party would agree.
…
Imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I came to the capital of Cang Qiong Kingdom to do some business. I have finished it and wanted to leave, but my princess agreed to help investigate the case, so I have to stay a little longer." There was no expression on Zhan Beiyuan's angular face.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him. When did she become his princess?
Did he assume that she wouldn't argue with him about this at a time like this?
How scheming!
"So Miss Jiang is the Princess Han. Has the Princess Han found out anything?" The emperor looked at them. Why hadn't he heard that Zhan Beiyuan got married?
Jiang Yunxi stared at the emperor sitting in the chair, "Your Majesty, you will die soon. You are the murderer's next target."
The emperor's expression suddenly changed. "Nonsense! I am the Son of Heaven. Who dares to kill me?"
"Think carefully about what you have done. The prime minister and other ministers and officials were also involved. They are all dead, and you will be the next one." Jiang Yunxi said with certainty.
