The prince spat out a mouthful of blood and then fell forward. There was an uproar at the scene, and the eunuchs and palace servants shouted in fear: "Quickly find the imperial physician!"
Amid the chaos and turmoil, Li Yu looked at the unconscious prince and laughed sadly. Her laughter became louder and louder, and for a while no one dared to step forward to help the prince up.
"Retribution, retribution has come——"
"Hahaha! Retribution has come! How unfaithful are men in this world. The thing I regret most in my life is that I gave my true heart to the wrong person and helped the tyrant to commit atrocities..."
Li Yu's desolate laughter came to an abrupt end, and the light in her eyes suddenly went out. She was at the end of her life, and it was only by relying on the ghost power of a wasp that she was able to regain her human form.
Now that her ghost power is exhausted, her life has completely come to an end.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, her body gradually melted away, as if it was about to turn into a pool of mucus. Suddenly, a loud bang came from above her head.
Everyone looked up in surprise.
Almost in the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered in the originally cloudless sky.
Boom——
Thunder roared again, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky like a silver dragon, striking straight towards Li Yu.
The screams were heard louder than I could hear.
When the lightning and thunder disappeared, everyone could only see a pile of ashes where Li Yu had been.
May the thunder strike you, and retribution come!
Everyone was terrified.
"Your Highness!" Someone screamed first.
The prince was very close to Li Yuyu when he fell unconscious. When the thunderbolt struck him, he was inevitably caught in the crossfire. Although he was not struck by the thunderbolt, his whole body was smoking.
Especially his face, which was completely torn apart and disfigured.
The entire Western Suburbs Villa was in complete chaos.
The prince's followers were terrified, they felt like they were facing retribution in this life. All their wealth and glory were gone, and all the officials left with their families. The bravest ones just ran away.
Who would dare to stay? What if they were also implicated and struck by lightning?
Qing Wu watched the excitement and retired after completing her mission.
As for the return of Anping County Lord's soul to the body, it was naturally left to Hornet to deal with.
Mu Ying and his mother naturally followed Qing Wu back to the palace, and Huo Hongying also prepared to join in the fun.
Before that, Mu Ying wanted to thank Old Lady She for her help, but the scene was too chaotic and Mu Ying had no chance. He could only give up with regret, but he remembered this favor in his heart.
On the other side, in the carriage of Prince Ruyang's Palace, Chu Xiuwen was still in shock, but seeing that his grandmother looked distracted, he was worried that the old lady was frightened.
"Grandma, are you feeling unwell?"
Old Lady She came back to her senses, shook her head, pondered for a moment, and asked her grandson, "Wen'er, what do you think of the young man from the Wang family?"
Chu Xiuwen's eyes lit up: "My grandson felt close to Brother Yulang the first time he saw him, and he is really amazing."
"How powerful is it?"
"Everything that happened was horrifying, especially when the thunder struck at the end. My grandson was terrified, but my brother Yulang remained calm from beginning to end."
Chu Xiuwen sighed: "My grandson is ashamed of himself."
Old Lady She nodded, but she was thinking about something else.
“So similar…”
"What do you mean they are too similar?" Chu Xiuwen was angry.
Old Lady She shook her head and said nothing. She was shocked when Qingwu appeared. The other person's face was exactly the same as that of an old friend of hers when he was young.
Thinking that Mu Ying was currently staying at Prince Yan's mansion, Old Lady She began to speculate.
The old man sighed and felt sarcastic in his heart.
It seems that the retribution of the Xiao royal family is really coming...
…
Huo Hongying was chattering excitedly all the way back to the palace. Now she came to her senses, "No wonder my nephew was so calm before. Did he know that you, the princess, had returned to the capital?"
Qing Wu smiled but said nothing. After returning to Beijing, she did secretly send a message to Xiao Yulang to calm the little guy down.
Huo Hongying knew what was happening, so she sighed and said, "It seems my brother has worked in vain. This time, it caused Old Lady She to get frightened."
Mu Ying also felt a little apologetic.
Seeing this, Qing Wu said, "That old lady has lived through three dynasties and has seen all kinds of big scenes. Don't underestimate her."
While watching the fun, Qing Wu also paid attention to the reactions of the people around her. At that time, everyone's attention was on the prince, except for the old lady who kept looking at her.
Qing Wu touched her face. She seemed to have completely turned back into her original appearance, but her face actually did not look like her parents'. However, the way the old lady looked at her was as if she had seen an old friend.
While she was thinking, Huo Hongying diverted the topic.
"This time God has really opened his eyes. The lightning that struck the prince actually happened. I have learned a lot. But God's accuracy is not good. Why didn't he kill the prince directly..."
Huo Hongying is a reckless person who dares to say anything.
Mu Ying coughed, signaling her to be more restrained.
"Well, we are all family, there is nothing we can't talk about." Miss Huo waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "It was that dragon carp. She died for such a man without leaving any trace. It's really unpleasant. I hope she will have a clear mind in her next life."
"The thunder from heaven punishes and scatters the soul. How can there be a next life?" Qing Wu said calmly.
Huo Hongying and Mu Ying were stunned.
The former swallowed his saliva and said, "Soul, soul shattered? Such a heavy punishment? No chance at all?"
"The way of heaven is ruthless. It is difficult for mortals to ascend to heaven, let alone the demon race, which is not favored by heaven."
Qing Wu said lazily, "In a thousand years, it may not be possible to produce a dragon carp. You only saw that she gave her true love to the wrong person and ended up in a miserable state. But you didn't know that she disturbed the destiny without authorization and caused harm."
Huo Hongying scratched her head. "I know that the crown prince is a fool and the government has been in a mess under his governance over the years, but I really don't know what kind of mess he has caused."
For example, in the capital, there are many people who share the same idea as Huo Hongying.
The Crown Prince is indeed incompetent and a fool. The Ministry of Revenue was previously in a state of chaos under his management. Although Dayong has suffered from natural disasters and man-made calamities in recent years, apart from the insect plague in Nanling, no major chaos seems to have occurred.
After all, in the eyes of most people, don’t natural disasters and man-made disasters happen every year?
Qing Wu shook her head and said, "The undercurrents are hidden beneath the water surface. Now that the dragon carp is dead, the surface calmness will no longer be stable."
Those undercurrents will soon surge up.
After arriving at the palace, Qing Wu just got out of the carriage and saw someone under the carriage extending his hand towards her.
The man was dressed as a guard, with half of his face covered by a mask, and his eyes were as deep as ink.
As soon as she met those eyes, Qing Wu's smile disappeared and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
She rolled her eyes at him, then raised her chin proudly and stepped on a small stool to get out of the car. However, the skirt she wore every day was really cumbersome, and she tripped and her body swayed slightly. The man naturally held her waist.
There was a sound of gasps all around.
The man looked normal. After she stood firm, he stepped aside. His tone was normal, but Qing Wu could hear a hint of mockery in his voice:
"Watch your step, Princess."
Qing Wu glared at him and cursed in a soft voice: "You bastard! How can you give orders to the princess? Come on, drag him down and give him ten strokes of the board!"
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
Two black-armored guards immediately stepped forward, with dark faces and unfriendly eyes, staring at Xiao Chenyan, and grabbed him from the left and right.
Huo Hongying and Mu Ying came out one step later. From their perspective, they clearly saw what had just happened.
The former wanted to yell at the masked guard just now, saying that he was so bold as to touch the princess!
The claws even touched her sister, the princess' waist!
Mu Ying, however, felt something was unusual. She had lived in Prince Yan's Mansion for so long and had never seen this kind of person. At first, she thought that Qing Wu had brought him back from Nanling.
And she knew Qing Wu's temper well. Just now, Qing Wu saw that the guard's expression was clearly wrong, as if he was scolding her, but that look...
As someone who has experienced this, Mu Ying could only think of four words: flirting!
Xiao Chenyan returned to Beijing secretly this time. Except for a few people in Nanling, no one in the capital knew about it, not even Situ Jing was informed.
After Qing Wu's cry, he was taken away by his personal guards.
Not long after entering, I ran into Situ Jing who came out after hearing the news.
Situ Jing came to see Qing Wu, and when he saw the guards holding a strange man, who was dressed as his own guard, he couldn't help but feel strange:
"Who is this person?"
"Mr. Situ, this man is a guard that the princess brought back from Nanling." The guard said in a muffled voice, "The princess wants to beat him with a stick, and I am just following her orders!"
Situ Jing was surprised: "What did he do wrong?"
The guards looked at each other, and one of them said with a dark face: "I just saw him touch the princess' waist under the pretext of supporting her."
Situ Jing's expression changed drastically and he exchanged glances with his two bodyguards. The three of them imagined a big drama.
The princess left the prince and returned to Beijing alone, and brought back a pretty boy with her. This guy dared to touch the princess in public...
Damn it, the prince is in danger!
Situ Jing's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he smiled sinisterly, "Since the princess is pregnant, why don't you drag her away quickly and give her a beating, no one should be left behind!"
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyes and looked at Situ Jing, feeling speechless.
After knowing each other for so many years, how could he not see what kind of nonsense Situ Jing had made up in his mind?
Really... His Royal Highness Prince Yan has been fooled by his own people.
Xiao Chenyan simply closed his eyes, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Situ Jing hissed in his heart, was this pretty boy looking down on him just now?
He must be beaten to death! Beat him to death!
