Night represents darkness. In the endless blackness, it is the time for the thugs to show their skills. At this moment, the sound of fighting can be heard in the palace. Soon after, the dark night is lit up, and the entire palace is as bright as day...
In the prime minister's residence, An Tingyu slept with little Yunxi on the large bed, but she was suddenly awakened by a voice in her sleep.
"Miss, something's wrong, please get up quickly!"
Dang Yan's anxious voice came from outside the door. An Tingyu suddenly opened her eyes when he spoke. She listened to his words and quickly put on her robe while asking, "What happened?"
Yan Dang rarely gets so panicked, it seems that it is really not a trivial matter.
"The old man and the Minister of State were assassinated in the palace. The Minister of State of State risked his life to save the old man."
"What?" An Tingyu was startled and rushed out before she even put on her clothes. "What about grandpa? How is grandpa?"
An Tingyu, whose clothes were disheveled, was startled when she saw the words, her eyes flickering slightly, then she lowered her head and avoided his gaze. "At that time, there happened to be a patrol of the Imperial Guard passing by, so the old man is fine, but it's hard to say about the Prime Minister. So the Emperor sent a verbal order, asking you to enter the palace immediately."
"If I catch the murderer, I will tear him into pieces." An Tingyu said coldly, then strode towards the door.
Behind him, Dang Yan was startled and quickly chased after her, "Miss, clothes!"
An Tingyu turned a deaf ear and walked forward quickly. Dang Yan rubbed his forehead helplessly and quickly stepped forward to button her robe. "Miss, you are a woman after all... Oh, forget it, let's go into the palace!"
Knowing she wouldn't listen, he stopped talking.
When they hurried to the palace, Doctor Zhong had just finished treating An Donglin's wound. Looking at the fatal sword, An Tingyu narrowed her eyes coldly, "Doctor Zhong, how is he?"
Doctor Zhong shook his head. "Teacher, I am incompetent. The sword in An Chengxiang's heart, although An Chengxiang's heart is slightly deviated from the normal one and didn't hit the vital point, but... the sword is smeared with the most poisonous agarwood in the world. An Chengxiang will never wake up again."
"Are you saying he'll turn into a living dead?" An Tingyu's icy eyes grew even colder, her voice trembling. How could it be possible? How could it be possible? During the day, he was full of life, but at night, he turned into a living dead. How could she believe this?
Doctor Zhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only shut his mouth in acquiescence.
"Where is my grandfather?" An Tingyu asked coldly.
A palace maid replied, "Mr. An is next door, and the emperor is asking him what happened."
"Dang Yan, bring my dad with you!"
As soon as An Tingyu finished speaking, Dang Yan immediately stepped forward and picked up An Donglin. Doctor Zhong said hurriedly, "Teacher, this is absolutely not allowed! An Chengxiang is weak because of this incident! He..."
"He is already a living dead, so he won't die again." An Tingyu tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes and strode away after she finished speaking. Of course, she also hurriedly brought her men to follow her.
In the palace next door, An Tingyu rushed in without any guards giving her a chance to inform him. She was followed by guards who tried to stop her from breaking into the palace. "Miss An, please allow me to inform you. You..."
"What's going on?" Hearing the sound of someone breaking into the door, Long Xunyi asked instinctively. But just as he finished speaking, he saw An Tingyu's figure, so he said again: "Go down! You have nothing to do here!"
The guard quickly responded and left.
"Sister An..."
"Girl..."
Long Xunyi and Mr. An said in unison.
"My father has become a half-dead man, and I don't want my grandfather to become like this, so Your Majesty, I want to take them away."
Hearing this, Long Xunyi's eyes flashed with guilt, "Sister An, I'm sorry, it was my fault that I failed to protect An Chengxiang. I didn't expect that there would be an assassin in the heavily guarded imperial palace. I really..."
Long Xunyi didn't finish his words, but he sounded very apologetic. Just now, An Tingyu didn't call him "Royal Brother", but called him "Your Majesty", which showed how disappointed she was in him. She was originally a good and living person, but now she has become like this. He really feels guilty towards her. He clearly said that he would let them live a good life in the palace, but in the end...
"Take them away! If anything happens, I will take responsibility." Long Xunyi said again.
Hearing this, An Tingyu didn't say another word to him. She just said to Grandpa An: "Grandpa, let's go home!"
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, An Tingyu examined An Donglin again, and the result was just as Doctor Zhong said, An Donglin really became a vegetable, or what they called a living dead.
She searched through all the medical books and finally found this poem in a notebook:
The poisonous agarwood sleeps like a baby, the fruit in the dragon's belly sustains its life, it soars on the clouds and mist in uninhabited places, and the immortal who punishes demons has his voice.
"Xingmo Immortal? Xingmo..." An Tingyu pondered over this familiar Buddhist name. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Locking Heart Harp? Wasn't the Locking Heart Harp that Fu Mo gave me the one that Master Xingmo took away? Then..."
An Tingyu broke into Fu's house overnight, rushed into Fu Mo's room, and asked bluntly, "Where is Master Xingmo? How can we find him?"
On the bed, Fu Mo opened his eyes and looked at her beautiful little face. He didn't answer, but said lightly: "You want to save An Donglin? But you have to know that the reason why Master Xingmo is called Master Xingmo is because he is like a demon, and his mind is difficult to determine. When he is in a good mood, he may give you some alms, so that you can get what you want more easily. Otherwise, you may not be able to come back alive. In this case, do you still want to go to him?"
