Chapter 422: Strong outside and infatuated inside male protagonist x beautiful and cruel reborn female protagonist 16
"only…"
"Just what?" Wu Yuan had to ask clearly. If the fire of the evil spirit was extinguished, their Wuling tribe would no longer exist.
Xiao Yiyun gave Wu Yuan a mocking look and said, "Want to know? Then you have to rescue me from the palace first and arrange a new identity for me."
Wu Yuan had never expected Xiao Yiyun to propose such a condition. "What about King Cheng? Isn't he your son?"
Xiao Yiyun lowered his eyes, and after a moment his eyes became firm. "So what if it's my son?"
Wu Yuan was speechless. To Wu Yuan, this Xiao Yiyun was really weird.
"Okay, I'll rescue you from the palace, but you have to tell me everything."
"Also, do you know the Purest Soul?"
Xiao Yiyun's eyes suddenly widened. "She told you? Did she ask you to find the purest soul?"
"She?" Wu Yuan heard a clue. It seems that the current witch and Xiao Yiyu know each other. What is the connection between them?
"I will rescue you from the palace first, and then you tell me everything."
——————————————————————
"What did you say? Xiao Yiyun is missing?"
An Er knelt on the ground and said, "It was my negligence. Xiao Yiyun is gone. It's as if he disappeared out of thin air. Our people haven't found any clues."
Xie Anhuai's face was full of solemnity. "What has the Second Prince been doing recently? Is there anything unusual?"
An Er thought for a moment and said, "The Second Prince's movements were normal, and I didn't notice anything wrong."
Xie Anhuai thought that things were not that simple. "Could it be that the Second Prince did it on purpose during the palace banquet? He just wanted to divert our attention?"
"But that's not right. Maybe Xiao Yiyun knew that the second prince was coming and sought his help."
"Continue to search for Xiao Yiyun's whereabouts. She has a grudge against me now, and I'm afraid she's doing something in the dark."
At this time, Xiao Yiyun had already left the capital in a carriage, and the second prince disguised himself as a servant to escort her away.
In the carriage, Xiao Yiyun explained everything.
"You already know that I am a former witch, but you don't know why I left the Wuling tribe."
This was also what Wu Yuan was puzzled about. In the Wuling tribe, the existence of a witch was the belief of the entire Wuling tribe and could be respected by everyone. However, Xiao Yiyun voluntarily gave up being a witch and came to Tianqi to become an ordinary concubine.
"The witch of the Wuling tribe is no longer a normal person. She is a dead person."
Wu Yuan was stunned, not quite understanding what Xiao Yiyun meant.
Xiao Yiyun also did not explain "The reason why she asked you to find the purest soul is because she wants to live, live forever, the kind of immortality"
Wu Yuan understood something. "You mean, she asked me to find the Pure Soul for herself? Not for the entire Wuling Clan?"
Xiao Yiyun nodded and said, "She can control people. I didn't leave the Wuling tribe of my own accord. I was controlled by her. When I regained consciousness, I had become the emperor's concubine. I couldn't leave even if I wanted to."
"But she can't kill me. Although she is recognized by the evil spirit fire, as long as I have an abnormal birth, aging, sickness and death, the evil spirit fire will be extinguished."
This time Wu Yuan understood everything completely. Since the search for the Purest Soul was not for the Wuling Clan, it meant that the current witch was using him, and he had become a pawn of the witch.
Fortunately, he didn't have time to act, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Xiao Yiyun frowned and asked Wu Yuan, who also had an ugly expression, "Did she give you a mirror for you to use when you catch the Pure Soul?"
Wu Yuan nodded and took out a small bronze mirror from his body.
Don't underestimate this mirror. If this mirror shines on Aunt Qiao, her soul will be taken away, and then everything will be too late.
The more Wu Yuan thought about it, the angrier he became. This was the first time someone had treated him like a fool.
Wu Yuan's face turned pale and he said, "How did you ruin her plan? She is the first one who dares to play tricks on me."
Xiao Yiyun closed her eyes. She also hated the witch. It was the witch who made her live helplessly for so many years.
"Break it, it means the only mirror of the spirit. If you break it, the witch will not be able to obtain the pure soul."
Wu Yuan clenched his hands, took a deep breath, and threw the mirror outside the carriage.
The mirror is broken beyond repair.
Xiao Yiyun suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, retribution, you want to live forever, just dream on."
Wu Yuan let Xiao Yiyun laugh as if to vent his anger. "You have a confidant named Qiao'e. Where is she?"
Xiao Yiyun stopped smiling and said, "She found me later. As for where she went, I arranged for her to stay with King Cheng."
Wu Yuan shrugged. This was not surprising. He said, no matter how cruel Xiao Yiyun was, he was still her biological son. How could she really ignore him?
Qiao'e stood in Prince Cheng's palace, looked at the azure sky and sighed.
King Cheng stood at a distance and looked at Qiao'e.
"You really won't tell me what happened to my mother and why I let you come to my side?"
Qiao'e turned around and said, "Your Highness, the Queen has left. Please don't ask too many questions or think too much. This is for your own good."
"The prince's house arrest will be lifted in two days. Before leaving, the queen told you not to fight for that position, otherwise the queen is afraid that the prince will fall into an irretrievable situation."
How could Xie Chengyu be willing to accept this? A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. Why couldn't he fight for it? They were both his father's sons. Why could Xie Anhuai get all the love from his father, while he could only get a little bit of attention from his father, and that was even when he worked very hard.
Days passed, and when spring came and flowers bloomed, it was the six-month period the emperor had mentioned when granting the marriage.
With only a few days left before Aunt Qiao and Xie Anhuai's wedding, Xie Anhuai sent a gorgeous and finely crafted wedding dress to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This was what Xie Anhuai had agreed with Aunt Qiao a long time ago. He came to prepare his wife's wedding dress.
This wedding dress, which took dozens of embroiderers three months to complete, is unforgettable at first sight.
On the day of the wedding, the whole capital was bustling with activity. This was the first time a prince had gotten married since the emperor ascended the throne more than 20 years ago, so it was definitely an extraordinary event.
The streets were bustling with activity as never before, as everyone wanted to see the most beautiful lady in her wedding dress.
But they could only think about it, because the sedan blocked their view and they could not see anything.
Only Xie Anhuai, who was riding a tall horse, would turn his head from time to time to take a look, his eyes so gentle that they could squeeze water out of them.
On the second floor of Zuichunlou, King Cheng sat by the window, drinking wine sip by sip, looking at the wedding procession downstairs and smiling at himself.
Ever since he was released from confinement, his father seemed to have forgotten his son. Even during the morning court session, he never looked at him twice, as if he was just a prince with the title of prince in vain.
His mother was so cruel that she just abandoned him and left.
