Chapter 355: Lingxiang is forbidden to stay in the Shiyang Palace
Ever since she caught the Demon Lord last time, Lingxiang's freedom has become much less than before. Not only was she ordered not to move around freely, but people were also sent to monitor her at all times.
And that person was Hui Wu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Lingxiang had anticipated earlier that the Demon Lord would definitely attack her, so she made preparations in advance and ordered Zhanli and Adao to hide early.
In this way, even if something changes in the future, the two of them will be safe and can also finish things for her.
And now these two are thinking about how to sneak into the capital.
The reason why the two of them were asked to go deep into danger was because Lingxiang had something that had to be confirmed before deciding what to do next. Before that, all efforts could only be preparations and they must not act rashly.
Lingxiang was very confident in Zhanli and Adao. Firstly, Zhanli was born in the underworld and was not unfamiliar with the capital. Secondly, Zhanli was calm and steady, and Adao was smart. The two complemented each other and would be able to deal with any problems comprehensively.
Moreover, Lingxiang said before leaving, "Only by keeping the green mountains can there be long-term firewood. If you encounter danger, run away if you can."
As for Ophiopogon japonicus, the Lingxiang genus was troubled for a while.
The Door Sealing and Heart Protecting Seal is the surgical method used by Master Zhao Ming. Lingxiang had only seen it once when she was a child. She was not good at formations, so she was helpless for a while.
However, all methods are possible. Since breaking the formation is not feasible, she will use the alchemy that she is good at to break it.
These days, in addition to refining the life-extending elixir for the Demon Lord, Lingxiang has also been secretly refining the dream-restoring elixir. However, now there is a spy of the Demon Lord watching her all the time, so the progress is very slow.
Use the Dream Returning Pill to enter Maidong's dream and resolve his heart knot, then the heart-protecting seal that seals the door will be automatically released.
And there is Wu Minjun, his face cannot be cured by ordinary means.
Although Lingxiang was somewhat reluctant, she couldn't go back on her word once she had promised someone, right?
A man without faith cannot stand!
So in her spare time, Lingxiang would consult the medical skills of the demon world to find a way to treat the disease.
Fortunately, the Demon Lord did not restrict Lingxiang from reading, so things went smoothly. She also found one or two methods. Although there is no guarantee that they will be effective, she has to try.
The phoenix egg had already hatched, and surprisingly, the phoenix was actually white. Its feathers were as white as snow, and it really did look a bit like Xiaobai, which amazed Lingxiang for a long time.
However, when the phoenix was just hatched, it was really ugly. Lingxiang once suspected that all the ancient books she read as a child were nonsense.
The phoenix is still small now. Although it has experienced four nirvanas, it is still in its infancy and does not even have crown and tail feathers.
Only when it grows a crown and tail feathers can it be considered a true phoenix.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but if I don’t look closely, Lingxiang always feels that it is no different from a pheasant.
The birth of the phoenix solved a lot of troubles for Lingxiang, and the first person to benefit was Wumin Jun.
Every time Xiaobai reaches Nirvana, a lot of ashes are produced. But don’t underestimate these ashes, they are excellent materials for elixirs.
In this world, only the phoenix can be resurrected from the dead, so even if it is just ashes, it is an extremely valuable treasure.
However, the phoenix is a noble creature. It will not eat anything other than dew and will not roost on anything other than the paulownia tree.
But where do the dew and parasol trees come from in the underworld?
Lingxiang racked her brains and finally found a solution.
Previously, during the Lantern Festival in the mortal world, Lingxiang had obtained an ancient zither, which was the one with the "Qiu Niu Lying Listening to the Wind and Rain", and the body of this zither was made of a thousand-year-old phoenix tree.
So even though Lingxiang was reluctant, she still took it out for the Phoenix to rest.
As for the dew, Lingxiang still has some spiritual plants in her hands. They are also things that have absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If she pounded them with grass juice, she could deal with it.
Fortunately, this phoenix seemed to still remember some things from the past and was very obedient to Lingxiang, which saved Lingxiang a lot of trouble.
With so many things to do, Lingxiang really has no time to be distracted.
Therefore, Lingxiang was just wary of Huiwu's existence. After all, there were so many things going on right now, and this was not the time to waste time on this matter.
But Hui Wu didn't seem to want Lingxiang to be idle, and he would appear in front of her from time to time. Although he didn't hinder her, it was indeed a bit inconvenient.
Lingxiang always felt that Huiwu seemed different now, but for a moment, she couldn't tell what was different.
And every time he saw her, Hui Wu always looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he had something to say to her, but in the end he gave up because of Yinghuan.
Hui Wu is now a subordinate of Yuhuan, this is the order of the Demon Lord. So his appearance is not entirely his wish.
Although Yinghuan was not very satisfied with Lingxiang being punished and confined to her house, she was still very happy.
In the end, it is still her, Yinghuan, who has the final say in the Shiyang Palace!
In Huanhua's opinion, Lingxiang was punished because she had displeased the Demon Lord. Given time, once the Demon Lord recognized her true nature, he would naturally no longer value her.
Yinghuan couldn't wait to see Lingxiang's downfall.
But the ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. Lingxiang is now cautious in everything, which makes Yinghuan a little disappointed.
If Lingxiang cannot make mistakes, how can the Demon Lord be unhappy?
Yinghuan knew about the grudge between Huiwu and Lingxiang, so these days, she would send Huiwu to hang around Lingxiang from time to time, trying to annoy Lingxiang and make her unhappy so that she would be more likely to make mistakes, so that she could find evidence against her.
Once she gets hold of Lingxiang's evidence, Yinghuan will make sure she is doomed.
But Yinghuan underestimated Lingxiang.
Lingxiang mostly resolved all the provocations from Yinghuan by using her identity. After all, the Demon Lord only said that she was under house arrest, and did not take away her title of princess. In this case, she was still the princess of the demon world.
Lingxiang is the master and Jiuhuan is the minister, so they always have to make sense on the surface.
As for the ingredients, Lingxiang would always do it herself, never delegating tasks to others. She would never use anything sent by Yinghua, and would always go personally to deliver medicine. Therefore, finding fault with the Demon Lord's elixir was extremely unlikely.
Lingxiang's room was also set with magic traps. Although these magic traps were not sophisticated, they were strange and difficult to decipher. After several attempts, Yinghua would fall into them nine times out of ten, unable to even get close to the door and ending up injured.
Yinghuan didn't know where Lingxiang learned these despicable tricks. She hated her so much that her teeth ached, but she really had no idea what to do.
In this way, Lingxiang's life was never too boring as she was fighting wits and courage with Yinghuan while handling the matters at hand.
However, being on guard against thieves every day is not a solution. Keeping such a poisonous insect around is bound to cause trouble, so Lingxiang is also thinking of ways to drive Yinghuan out of the Shiyang Palace.
But after all, the Shiyang Palace was still Jiuhua's palace, so how could they be destroyed in a short time? They had stayed here to protect Maidong, but now they had turned it into a prison.
There is really a pit at every step, and each pit is hard to fill!
