Xuancang Capital, at the city gate.
Just as Xuanming had predicted, a man named Yun Qingluo was causing trouble outside the city gate.
"Yun Qingluo" was covered in tears, and she angrily accused him: "We went to the Minjiang River with good intentions to help him with disaster relief, but he was ungrateful and only cared about his own wedding night. He even sent people to assassinate us!"
The spirit, disguised as Yun Qingluo, spoke with a tone full of resentment and bitterness.
Her performance was so realistic that everyone around stopped and surrounded the spirit.
These people are all citizens of the Xuancang Continent. They have always had unwavering faith in their prince, and they are naturally dissatisfied to hear someone slandering him in this way.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to question, "Who exactly are you? What gives you the right to slander our prince like this?"
Yun Qingluo smiled, then looked up with a pitiful expression, and answered in a trembling voice, "I am Yun Qingluo, the Queen of the Sumeru Continent. My husband, Mo Beichen, is the King of the Sumeru Continent. To congratulate Xuanming, my husband rode into the city on a fast horse very early. I rode in a carriage behind him, which was slower."
Yun Qingluo's words indeed piqued everyone's curiosity, and they continued to listen intently as she spoke:
"But I never expected to be assassinated right under the emperor's nose. Now all I have left is the coachman. Even my master and uncle have been killed by them. Xuanming must give us an explanation for this, or my Sumeru Continent and Xuancang Continent will be irreconcilable enemies."
The crowd immediately began to murmur, and seeing the several wounds on Yun Qingluo's body, the surrounding people began to waver.
Yunying led her people to watch the show in the crowd, and she asked in a low voice, "Have the people who went returned?"
A voice from behind replied, "They haven't come back yet."
Yunying did not show up because she had her own thoughts and plans.
Xuanming suddenly sent an envoy to inform them that Mo Beichen was not the real Mo Beichen, and that Yun Qingluo outside the city gate was also an imposter.
Yunying, of course, would not easily believe these words. After all, how could there be such similar people in this world?
So she had Feng Tianxing observe Mo Beichen carefully, but they found no flaws.
She originally planned to investigate further, but unexpectedly, Mo Beichen returned directly to his palace as Xuanming had said, and instructed no one to disturb his rest.
Not only that, he also ordered everyone to go to the city gate to welcome Yun Qingluo.
At that moment, Yunying couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't His Majesty return with the Empress?"
Mo Beichen stared at her coldly for a moment before slowly saying, "In order to attend the wedding banquet on time, I rode a fast horse into the city alone ahead of time, while Luo Luo was in the carriage behind. Therefore, I need you all to go and greet her. Is there anything wrong with this arrangement?"
Yunying quickly shook her head, indicating that she had no objection. At the same time, she looked at Feng Tianxing beside her, only to see that Feng Tianxing also gently shook his head.
After Mo Beichen entered the room, Yunying said, "He's probably lying. The Emperor dotes on the Empress like the apple of his eye. If the Empress were really in the back, he would definitely go back to greet her personally. How could he lock himself in the room and make us go to greet her instead?"
Feng Tianxing guessed, "Perhaps he's been traveling for days and is just too tired. Didn't you see he didn't look well?"
Yunying nodded thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense. It's been so long, and only the two of them have returned. They even entered the city one after the other. I wonder if the two seniors returned with the Empress."
After Yunying and Fengtianxing resolved the matter in Minjiang, they left Minxia Town and returned to Luochenxuan to wait for Yun Qingluo and her group to return.
The grandfather, grandfather, and grandson insisted on coming to the capital as well.
Knowing that Yun Qingluo valued them quite a bit, Yun Ying settled them in a villa in the capital.
"I'll go check out the situation at the city gate first. If anything happens here, send someone to let me know," Yunying said to Feng Tianxing.
Feng Tianxing nodded, "I'll estimate the time and go in to take a look. If there's no one in the room, then that person is the legendary Enchantress."
Seeing Yun Qingluo surrounded by the crowd, Yun Ying felt a lump in her throat and pinched her hand tightly to keep from going forward.
She couldn't bear to see Yun Qingluo suffer any injustice, even if it was fake.
The visitor looked nervous. "Master Ying, Phoenix Lord has sent word that there is no one in the room."
Yunying was shocked, feeling a bit surprised that such a secret technique really existed in the world.
Meizu has a spirit called Meiling, which can transform into anyone.
His appearance, expression, tone of voice, and every move he made were all genuine.
If Xuanming hadn't sent someone to warn them beforehand, they would have found it hard to believe.
Having made up his mind, Yunying ordered his men to disperse and act separately.
Soon, the crowd stirred and retreated in unison, their expressions filled with terror as they looked at Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo paused in her sobbing, looking around at the large empty space around her, somewhat puzzled.
what happened?
Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke up, "It's her, she's Meiling, from the Meizu."
"What? Don't talk nonsense. The Meizu have long been extinct. How could Meiling still exist in this world?"
"Hey, why would I make things up? My sister's uncle's aunt's son works in the palace. I heard that when the King and Queen of the Sumeru Continent went to the Minjiang River to help rescue the refugees, His Highness sent many secret guards to escort them. His Highness even had Lord Shadow personally protect them. Tell me, in all these years, besides protecting His Highness and the Grand Tutor, who else has Lord Shadow protected?"
"I've also heard that the king and queen of Sumeru met their demise because they encountered a demon. I didn't expect there to be demons here too."
