Prince Hui finally chose the path of uncle and nephew being of one mind.
Xiao Chenyan smiled: "Fourth uncle is very righteous."
King Hui looked at the shadow that stood up from under his feet, his mouth twitching stiffly. When he met the shadow's lifeless but scarlet eyes, King Hui smiled with tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay, okay."
He doesn't want justice, because he is afraid of death.
Princess Hui was deeply impressed by the pair of 'red eyes', but after all, she had never witnessed the whole process of the separation of the souls of Prince Hui and Wu Peng. When she first saw Wu Peng, she almost cried out.
She bit her tongue hard, and tried to calm herself down by enduring the pain, but still couldn't help frowning: "Nephew, is this red-eyed monster from the witch tribe? Is he, is he still alive?"
Prince Hui and his wife had the same idea at this moment, fearing that Wu Peng would suddenly attack and hurt someone again.
"He has lost consciousness and is just a remnant of soul."
Prince Hui and his wife didn't understand what he said, and Xiao Chenyan had no intention of explaining it to them. He raised his wrist, and a shadow cat emerged from his shadow. The shadow cat stepped on the smoke with all four legs, and after a few leaps, it landed on his shoulder.
"Go ahead."
As the voice fell, Shadow Cat and Wu Peng's remaining soul merged into one, and there was some "liveliness" in those blood-red eyes.
The next moment, Wu Peng's afterimage crashed into King Hui's body.
Princess Hui saw Prince Hui's body tremble, and his round body suddenly became more soft and boneless. He clenched his fists and licked his paws. His eyes were wide open, and he blinked at her and opened his mouth: "Meow~"
Princess Hui: “…”
Xiao Chenyan glanced over, and 'Prince Hui' immediately stood up, "What kind of person is this?"
As if speaking for the first time, 'Hui Wang Miao' made a hesitant meow, then showed surprise on his face, and turned into a chatterbox in the blink of an eye.
"I can speak human language now, meow meow meow hahaha~"
Princess Hui's scalp began to feel numb, and the strange scene before her made her want to faint.
"Noisy." Xiao Chenyan frowned, and Hui Wangmao immediately quieted down.
The next moment, the fat on Prince Hui's face trembled, and he regained consciousness with a start. He fumbled up and down in panic, "I, I, I...what happened just now?"
"Ah! My shadow!"
In panic, he looked at his own shadow, which was baring its fangs and claws, and looked like a human and a cat at the same time.
"The shadow cat will control the remaining soul of Wu Peng and live in your shadow. When you die, it will take over your body."
Xiao Chenyan explained briefly, and Prince Hui was scared and wanted to cry. After all this time, wasn't he still just a tool? It was just a replacement!
In the current situation, can he refuse?
If he serves as a tool for the old emperor, his consciousness will be directly wiped out. If he serves as a tool for Xiao Chenyan, at least he still has his own consciousness.
This cat... should ensure his safety, right?
Prince Hui comforted himself.
Princess Hui took a deep breath and asked, "Nephew, I still have a question in my mind. I hope you can answer it."
"It's okay for Fourth Aunt to say it."
"Besides your fourth uncle, are there other princes who have suffered the same disaster?"
"Logically speaking, my nephew, you should be solving the insect problem in Nanling now." Princess Hui took a deep breath and said, "Could the insect problem in Nanling also be caused by this evil witch tribe?"
Prince Hui was also curious: "Could it be that the Seventh Brother was also possessed by that... body? That's the word, right?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at Princess Hui. This fourth aunt seemed very smart and could see the crux of the problem at a glance.
Princess Hui's heart was pounding and her palms were full of sweat.
"Seventh Uncle is fine now. The insect infestation in Nanling is indeed the work of the Wu Clan."
Prince Hui hissed, "Seventh brother and I are truly brothers in distress." He sighed, but his face showed that 'good brothers should share weal and woe'.
Princess Hui felt cold all over. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Will all descendants of the Xiao family be unable to escape this disaster?"
The smile on Prince Hui's face froze, and he looked at Princess Hui in shock.
Xiao Chenyan remained silent and gave the answer silently.
Princess Hui smiled bitterly. She didn't know whether she should be glad that she had no children or worry about the children in the palace.
Prince Hui had four sons and six daughters. Although they were all born to concubines, his eldest son was raised by Princess Hui. Although Princess Hui did not treat the child as her own, she truly loved him and took care of him until he grew up.
"What do you mean? Could it be that my children..." Prince Hui was sweating profusely and did not dare to think about it.
His name was Xiao Si, and he was truly worthy of the name, for he had an extraordinary number of descendants.
Although Prince Hui was an unreliable person, he was very kind to his own children. When he heard that not only he was in danger of being possessed by another's body, but his own children would also suffer, he could no longer sit still.
"Is the old man crazy? Is this a curse on our Xiao family? How come even our grandchildren can't escape it?"
"Whether it's true or not, I can't avoid it anyway." Xiao Chenyan said calmly, "There is one more thing I have to entrust to Fourth Aunt."
Princess Hui forced herself to cheer up: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at Prince Hui: "Qionghua Tower, Meng Huaiyu."
Prince Hui: "Who is Meng Huaiyu?"
But Princess Hui understood and glared at Prince Hui fiercely.
Prince Hui was completely confused.
"I just learned about this girl's story. My nephew mentioned her because of the baby she is pregnant with?"
Xiao Chenyan nodded: "She is pregnant with my fourth uncle's blood and is about to give birth. She has been targeted by the Wu clan. I have placed her in a private house in the south of the city. However, since my fourth aunt already knows about her existence, it would be more reasonable to take her to the Huiwang Mansion."
Prince Hui was a little confused when he heard that he was going to be a father again. Meeting the sarcastic look of Princess Hui, he was embarrassed and dared not say anything.
Princess Hui nodded and said, "That's right. Don't worry, nephew. I will bring Miss Meng to my house and will not treat her badly in the future."
Xiao Chenyan guessed that Princess Hui might have misunderstood something.
After a pause, he explained, "I am not familiar with Meng Huaiyu, but the baby in her belly may confirm my guess."
"It's just that my princess is tolerant of me, and my brother Meng Huaiyu has done a favor to the people around the princess, and this time he took action, he also wanted to repay the favor."
"Aunt Four, just treat it normally."
Princess Hui agreed and felt relieved.
She had indeed thought too much just now. Although she did not misunderstand that there was anything going on between Xiao Chenyan and Meng Huaiyu, given Xiao Chenyan's personality, he obviously would not mention a woman specifically.
Hearing that he did it for her own princess, Princess Hui thought of Qingwu she had seen the day before, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, that niece-in-law was obviously a powerful person!
No wonder the hard-hearted King Yan could become so soft-hearted.
The trap had been set up. Before leaving, Xiao Chenyan handed Princess Hui a talisman, which was folded into a triangle and had an iris painted on it.
"This is a talisman drawn by the princess to ward off evil spirits. If Fourth Aunt wears it close to her body, it can ward off evil spirits."
Princess Hui quickly took it and thanked her repeatedly.
Prince Hui was very confused. He swallowed his saliva and smiled with wrinkles on his face: "Ayan, then I, your fourth uncle..."
Xiao Chenyan: "Take care, Fourth Aunt."
As the voice fell, the others disappeared as well.
Prince Hui: What the hell??? Ruthless!!
He looked left and right, incredulous: "It's not... what about me?! I am his fourth uncle, his biological father! I am still a member of the same family! Why did you give you the talisman but not me?!"
Princess Hui put the talisman close to her body, and ignored the pig man's whining, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has Lord Shadow Cat to protect him, so why does he need the talisman? It's late, go to bed early."
"But……"
Princess Hui lowered her head, her smile carrying a hint of evil: "If Your Majesty does not want to change his name to Xiao Juesi, please say "but" less in the future!"
Prince Hui swallowed his saliva and weakly withdrew his fat hand, "Okay, okay."
His face was filled with shame and deep affection. Alas, the princess must be sad. Now the palace is going to have another baby, but the princess has no children. Alas...
Blame him, blame him. He will work twice as hard in the future and make the princess pregnant with his child!
Princess Hui, who couldn't wait to get out, felt a chill down her spine for no apparent reason, as if she was being watched by some dirty creature...
