"You are a demon!!"
The prince's eyes were bloodshot and he stood up in shock, his voice shaky. He didn't even bother to cover his face with his sleeves. He looked at Li Yu with hatred and disdain.
Thinking about how he had been sleeping in the same bed with such a disgusting monster for all these years, the prince couldn't help but turned his head and vomited.
When Li Yu saw his reaction, her numb heart ached. It was not because of the prince's indifference to her, but because of her own stupidity.
The other people in the Eastern Palace were also terrified. Many of them knew that Li Yu had a strange disease, but no one expected that the other party was actually a fish-tailed monster!
After the prince finished vomiting, he couldn't stop the murderous intent in his eyes. He pulled out a long knife from the guard's waist and wanted to kill the fish.
"Please wait a minute, Prince. I haven't finished what I want to say yet." Hornet said slowly.
The prince had just witnessed the methods of the Hornet and knew that the other party was indeed an outsider. So he stopped his actions obediently and spoke in a softer tone:
"Thank you, Fairy, for capturing this monster. I think my strange disease was caused by this monster!"
The wasp raised an eyebrow: "Who said that your illness was caused by her."
The prince looked suspicious: "Not her?"
"No, no." Huang Feng shook his head: "Prince, have you forgotten who the Right Prime Minister's wife invited me here for today?"
Everyone came back to their senses, "Yes, didn't they say that the Princess of Anping County is a demon?"
"You fellow, there is no one around the prince anyway, right?"
The flesh on the prince's cheeks was twitching as his eyes fell on Situ Wei. When he saw Li Yu, Situ Wei knew that something was wrong and she didn't even dare to breathe.
She opened her mouth to argue, but for some reason, no words came out.
It was like an invisible hand was pinching her throat.
Qing Wu stood at the back, watching the excitement leisurely, and occasionally making eye contact with the handsome guards beside her. She hoped that no one would pay attention to her now, otherwise the news that King Yan had a green flag on his head tomorrow would spread all over the streets.
"I have a story to tell you, Your Highness. Why don't you listen to it first?"
The prince was also full of doubts at this moment, and he suppressed his murderous intent and nodded: "Please speak, Fairy."
"There was once a koi fish that was trapped in the East Palace. One day, she was spotted by a nobleman, who caught her with his own hands and released her."
"This nobleman is a descendant of the royal family, born with good fortune. He let this koi go free, and it flowed down the river into the sea, risking its life and death to jump over the dragon gate."
“You must know that it is rare to find a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate in a million years. This is a great fortune that can truly transform one’s bones. Once it leaps over the Dragon Gate, it becomes a dragon carp, completely transformed. With diligent cultivation, it is only a matter of time before it transforms into a flying fairy.”
The people around listened to Huang Feng's words, and their expressions changed. The looks they gave Li Yu changed from fear and disgust at the beginning to amazement, and some even felt greed.
The prince's expression was even more interesting. How could he not hear that the 'noble man' mentioned by Hornet was referring to himself?
He also remembered that he had released a koi carp many years ago.
"What a pity..." The wasp changed the subject: "This dragon carp gave up the great future and chose to transform into a human to return to the other side to repay the favor."
"The dragon carp is bringing blessings, using her own cultivation to help the other party avoid disasters and seek good fortunes. But we must know that karma has its consequences. Although she has passed the dragon gate, she has not truly cultivated to the right fruit. How can she keep protecting the other party from disasters?"
"She has reached the point where her life is at an end, but this man has forgotten her old lover after finding a new one. And this new lover is not even a human being!"
"That noble fell ill for no apparent reason, and people thought he was harmed by the dragon carp, but they didn't know it was his new lover who poisoned him. His new lover is also a powerful one, obviously a wandering ghost. I don't know where he got the luck to be able to paint his skin and pretend to be a human."
"That nobleman spent all day hanging out with ghosts, so how could he not have his yang energy taken away? The only dragon carp that could save him was hated and loathed by him, and in the end he was also tricked by the evil ghost, and his dragon ball was taken away, and his last bit of Taoism was gone."
"Karma has its rewards. Long Li has been helping the tyrant for many years to repay her gratitude and help that nobleman to eliminate disasters and bring blessings. What she has damaged is her own cultivation and the fair order. This is the result of her own karma."
"Without her protection, whatever cause that noble person had planted will come back to haunt us now."
The hornet glared at the prince. The prince's face was blue and red at the moment, which was extremely ugly.
The guests looked at the prince with even more strange eyes. Wasn't this just a case of mistaking a pearl for a fish eye?
Such a huge Koi Fairy was by his side, and he was worshipped very highly, but he was bewitched by ghosts and was harmed by evil spirits without knowing it!
Those officials thought more about it. They knew very well the prince's qualifications.
Many people in the court complained privately, wondering what the old emperor was thinking by choosing such a prince.
Now it seems that there must be no reason for the blessing of the dragon carp?
After all, before this, the prince had indeed lived a smooth life for the past ten years!
Now that the East Palace has been in trouble frequently, isn't this a backlash?
"It's you! It's you, the evil ghost, who has harmed me!"
The prince's eyes were bloodshot and he kicked Situ Wei two meters away. He stepped forward with a knife, wanting to cut the evil ghost into pieces.
Situ Wei spat out a mouthful of blood. The Right Prime Minister's wife and Situ Mingyue's eyebrows jumped, trying hard to suppress their anxiety.
After all, that was their daughter’s physical body!
Just as the prince's knife was about to fall, Situ Wei let out a scream, and the next moment, her skin suddenly exploded like fish scales, and her whole body swelled up.
Clang.
The prince's knife fell to the ground in fright, and he fell to the ground, running backwards in a panic, trying to get away from Situ Wei.
His behavior was nothing like that of a prince. The guests had no time to laugh at him as they were all frightened by this sudden change.
"How can a mere evil ghost's skin bear the elixir of the dragon carp?" The yellow hornet pretended to be profound and said, "Don't worry, this evil ghost was greedy and ate the dragon carp elixir. Now his painted skin can't bear it."
"Fairy! Please take action quickly and subdue this evil ghost." The prince no longer cared about his etiquette and just wanted to get rid of this disaster immediately.
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Huang Feng pretended to take out a talisman from his arms. The talisman flew in the air for a circle, showing off his style. Then it flew straight to Situ Wei.
In an instant, the abnormality in Situ Wei's body disappeared. With a "wow" sound, she spat out a scarlet round pill, which was Li Yu's dragon pill.
Huang Feng raised his hand again, and the talisman flew back to his fingertips, and Situ Wei's soul was also pulled out.
Her soul kept screaming in extreme fear and struggled to escape, but was eventually captured by the talisman.
Ordinary people cannot see this scene.
Huang Feng put away the talisman and said, "If we keep this ghost-painted skin, it may cause trouble. We must take it with us and destroy it."
As she spoke, she looked at the wife of the Right Prime Minister and said, "Madam, please rest assured. The Princess of Anping is dead. We will be able to find her after we deal with this ghostly painted skin."
The Right Prime Minister's wife and Situ Mingyue nodded quickly.
They knew that the so-called ghost painted skin was their daughter's physical body, and that this "play" was also told to them by Huang Feng.
The purpose was to remove Princess Anping from this situation. After all, after this, the marriage between the Eastern Palace and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was completely ruined. Even if Princess Anping returned to her physical body, if she stayed in the Eastern Palace, she would be despised and made things difficult for by the prince.
The second is how this world views a woman's reputation. If someone says that she has been possessed by an evil spirit, others will think it is unlucky. It would be better to think that it is an evil spirit with a painted skin, impersonating her.
There was no reason why the prince would not agree to it; he had to take this "ghostly painted skin" away immediately.
"Fairy, this evil ghost has been killed, and the poison she gave me..."
"Don't worry, the evil ghost is dead, and the prince will recover after some rest."
Just as the prince breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Huang Feng add: "After all, the prince lives with evil spirits day and night, the lost yang energy and lost yin virtues may not be recovered overnight."
The prince's face instantly turned ugly. He felt that the fairy in front of him acted too quickly. The evil ghost woman should be cut into pieces before being killed!
When he saw Li Yu lying on the ground, his mind moved and he instantly revealed a look of deep regret and distress.
"Yu'er, I am so ashamed of you..."
The prince leaned forward and pretended to be regretful and affectionate.
Li Yu felt sick. She looked at the man who had once been her bedmate and said calmly, "I have already repaid your kindness. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the prince anymore."
The prince was suddenly panicked. After knowing that Li Yu was a dragon carp, how could he let her go!
Li Yu's next words made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
"Over the past ten years, you, the Crown Prince, have allowed your subordinates to commit corruption and abuse the power to oppress the people. You have no ability to govern the country, and you have made no contribution to the people and society."
"I forced you to accept blessings and avoid disasters, which was against the will of heaven. Now I have received retribution and my body and soul have disappeared. This is the fate I deserve."
"After I die, retribution will not stop. Your Highness, you should also bear the consequences of the evil you have caused in the past..."
The prince felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He staggered a few steps, felt pain in his chest and blackness before his eyes, yet someone next to him laughed out loud.
Qing Wu chuckled and said, "So, the law of nature is reincarnation, and retribution will not spare anyone. This retribution, though delayed, will come."
The prince's breathing became suffocated and he could no longer hold it in. He vomited blood and fainted.
