Chapter 498 Nightmare
"What's the problem?" Tang Bugui looked at Xiao Su Bao with surprise and asked in confusion.
Little Su Bao thought for a moment, trying hard to recall her previous feelings.
Then he turned to Tang Bugui and said, "Father, that person seems to have two souls!"
"It's not two souls, but he's very powerful. It's like there are two of him, one good and one bad!"
Little Su Bao initially thought he was very bad, after all, his karmic burdens were already extremely heavy.
But right after I cast the obstacle-breaking talisman and added the heart-purifying mantra, the karmic obstacles on that person flickered and became much less, and it seemed that there was even a trace of merit.
This is quite contradictory.
It's normal for a person to have both karmic obstacles and merits at the same time. The problem is the situation just now, which was like having two people!
Tang Bugui paused slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"Yes, Father understands. You don't need to worry about this matter. Go back now!"
Tang Bugui then prepared to leave with Xiao Su Bao.
Upon reaching the door, Xiao Su Bao suddenly asked, "Daddy, do you still remember Little Pomegranate from back then?"
Tang Bugui naturally knew about this little pomegranate.
Speaking of which, Tang Bugui later led his men to visit the place where Linjia Village used to be, and now it was empty and overgrown with weeds.
“That little pomegranate, that evil Taoist, and Tai Sui... they should all be from this Yama Palace. Their auras are very similar!” Little Su Bao thought for a moment and said.
Tang Bugui paused for a moment and looked at the little ones.
"You should all pretend you don't know these things. The Hall of Yama is not a place you can touch now!"
"Um... General, don't you think this is... a bit late!"
Just then, Ling Buqi couldn't help but mutter something to himself.
Tang Bugui...
"If you can't speak, then don't speak!"
Tang Bugui rolled his eyes at Ling Buqi, but then, as if remembering something, he said to Tang Dabao and the others, "Try to stay home as much as possible these days!"
Xiao Su Bao and the others have long been involved, so it's difficult for them to remain unscathed.
"It's Uncle!" Tang Dabao said respectfully.
Tang Erbao and Sanbao both nodded obediently.
Tang Bugui glanced at the children, then at Ling Buqi, his disdain evident in his eyes.
Ling Buqi...
"Sigh, I just... told the truth!"
He muttered something under his breath, just in time to see Xiao Mo Bao trembling slightly.
Thinking about Xiao Mo Bao, Ling Buqi put his hand on Xiao Mo Bao's shoulder.
"Of the 250 people in my family, 249 of them are dead!"
Ling Buqi said these words seemingly casually, but his eyes held a sadness that only comes from losing a family.
He secretly cast the spell of "Dream Back" on himself, because only then could he see his family.
Only at that moment did he feel that he was not an orphan.
In truth, Xiao Mobao is much happier now than I was back then.
At least he still has his second uncle, while he himself...
"People should always look forward, because once someone dies, no one can see it anymore!"
Ling Buqi pulled Xiao Mobao toward the door.
The little guy raised his head and glanced at Ling Buqi's profile.
Although Ling Buqi seemed to be full of disgust, Xiao Mobao said, "Thank you."
Ling Buqi patted Xiao Mobao on the shoulder, and the two walked out of Ya Bao Lou arm in arm.
Fortunately, they had all eaten their fill, so they didn't need to go home for dinner.
As the group walked away, Tang Sanbao suddenly remembered Zhou Xiangxiang.
He couldn't help but ask, "By the way, where did Uncle Ling take that Zhou family girl just now?"
Ling Buqi paused, then subconsciously looked at Tang Bugui.
The latter, however, only had one head on it.
Ling Buqi coughed lightly, glared at Tang Sanbao, and said, "Alright, kids shouldn't meddle in adult matters. By the way, did you do your homework today? And you guys, don't think you can skip your homework just because you've been busy these past few days. Go back and finish it all today..."
Ling Buqi is currently in charge of teaching several children to read and practice martial arts.
Immediately, the children's expressions changed slightly.
Only Xiao Su Bao and Mo Bao remained completely calm.
Little Su Bao always carefully finishes her homework before going to sleep.
So I'm not worried, but Sanbao is in trouble because he didn't write anything.
Da Bao and Er Bao exchanged a glance, both feeling helpless.
Ling Buqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the brats had stopped asking questions.
As for Zhou Xiangxiang...
Naturally, he had him dragged away and thrown into a brothel.
If it weren't for the fact that the general is currently in a difficult position to kill, this shameless woman would have been reduced to ashes long ago!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Zhou family members were getting really annoyed.
They originally only wanted to force Zhou Xiangxiang into the Tang family, but they didn't expect the Tang family to be so illogical.
"Is Tang Bugui no good? Otherwise, why would he leave a woman behind?" Zhou Xiangxiang's father's face was rather ugly, and his eyes were filled with a hint of coldness.
This daughter is truly useless; look at what she's done.
"Alright, what's the use of saying all this now? Have someone bring her back. We can't let her stay in the brothel!"
The old man of the Zhou family was really having a headache, thinking about his sister and the Zhou family members who had caused all this trouble.
He wished he had just crushed those things to death back then.
To avoid making such a fool of myself!
However, regardless of the circumstances, the opportunity is now gone.
No matter how grim his expression was, he had no choice but to spend money to bring Zhou Xiangxiang back.
It wasn't until after the New Year that we heard that Zhou Xiangxiang had been sent to a nunnery.
However, these things have nothing to do with the Tang family.
The Tang family was busy with New Year preparations, while Madam Qian also tidied up the neighboring courtyard.
But something happened in the palace.
After the Empress returned, she fell into a coma.
The emperor was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and finally called Xiao Su Bao in.
The little girl felt a pang of sadness looking at her haggard grandmother.
She had clearly taken the Empress Dowager's pulse before, and although the Empress Dowager was somewhat depressed, her health was not seriously affected.
"This is... a nightmare!"
Little Su Bao paused slightly, suddenly remembering what her master had said.
She only went to see a doctor and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Little Su Bao frowned, took a deep breath, and said to the Emperor and the others, "Grandpa Emperor, could Su Bao watch over Grandma by herself for a while?"
The emperor paused, looked deeply at the empress, and then said, "Alright, your grandfather can't live without you, my grandmother... everything depends on you!"
The emperor looked at Xiao Su Bao, his voice trembling like never before.
Xiao Su Bao nodded, and after they all left, the little girl took a deep breath before pricking her fingertip.
She placed a drop of her own blood on the Queen's forehead.
The bright red blood turned golden when it was applied to the Empress's brow.
Then, it emitted a faint golden light and disappeared.
The next moment, Xiao Su Bao seemed to sense something, and her hand was suddenly grabbed by the Empress's hand.
The next moment, the little girl collapsed in front of the queen's bed and fell unconscious.
Upon hearing the voices inside, the emperor's expression changed slightly, and he immediately called out, "Su Bao, how are you? Don't frighten your imperial grandfather!"
There was not a sound inside.
The emperor disregarded everything else and rushed inside.
The moment he burst in, he saw that Xiao Su Bao had also fainted.
"Quickly, the imperial physician! The imperial physician!"
Is it possible that even Little Su Bao can't save the Empress?
The emperor felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his whole body trembled slightly.
The Crown Prince looks much better now, and his complexion is rosier.
He placed his hand on his father's back: "Father, you must believe in Mother. She definitely wouldn't want to leave us!"
The emperor turned his head, looked at the now-grown crown prince, and took a deep breath: "Good!"
After saying this, the emperor held the empress and Xiao Su Bao's hands tightly.
At that very moment, Xiao Su Bao was plunged into complete darkness.
"Father, Father, Grandfather!"
Little Su Bao called out anxiously, but there was no sound around; the silence was eerily quiet.
Little Su Bao is most afraid of being alone in the dark, as it reminds her of the time her mother died and the time her mute grandmother died.
Little Su Bao hugged her knees and hid her head in her arms.
She squatted on the ground, her body trembling slightly.
She didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly a gentle voice sounded in her ear: "Little sister, what's wrong?"
Little Su Bao was startled. Her ears were no longer quiet; the surroundings seemed to have become lively.
Could it be that I have already woken up?
Little Su Bao looked up and saw that this place was unfamiliar; there was no father or mother.
Are you alright?
When the gentle voice came, Xiao Su Bao was slightly startled and looked at the person who was calling her.
It was a very beautiful face.
Little Su Bao was slightly stunned.
This face is clearly that of my grandmother when I was a child.
"Little sister, are you alright? I saw you squatting here crying all by yourself. Where are your family?"
The Empress's voice was still as gentle as ever, but compared to her voice later on, it had a touch more playfulness.
Before Xiao Su Bao could speak, a voice came from behind: "Sister, don't you want Xiao Chou anymore?"
Just then, a beautiful face appeared in front of them.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback.
This person was none other than Lan Chou!
Unlike the grown-up Lan Chou that Xiao Su Bao saw, Lan Chou at this moment didn't seem to be as old as Xiao Su Bao.
He stared intently at Xiao Su Bao, his eyes filled with hostility.
"You're trying to steal my sister from Ah Chou, aren't you?"
Little A-Chou glared angrily at Little Su-Bao.
Little Su Bao was stunned. She wanted to speak, but found that her throat hurt and she couldn't make a sound.
"Are you unable to speak?" the Queen asked, seeing this scene.
Little Su Bao nodded subconsciously.
The queen in my dream is still Little Blue Moon.
Lan Yue sighed, then said, "Oh well, judging by your clothes... you're probably a little beggar!"
Lan Yue wanted to give Xiao Su Bao the silver she had on her.
But when she touched it, she only found half a sesame seed cake. She had spent all her money on things for her younger brother.
"I'm sorry, little sister, I only have half a sesame seed cake left. Can you have it all?"
Little Blue Moon really likes Little Crispy Treasure, and she doesn't even know why.
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback. Just as she was about to say that she wasn't hungry, her stomach started growling uncontrollably.
She couldn't help but lick her lips as she looked at the sesame seed cake.
"Alright, don't worry, here you go!"
Seeing Xiao Su Bao's expression, Xiao Lan Yue stuffed the sesame seed cake into the little girl's arms.
The next moment, Little Blue Moon was about to get up and leave.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao, holding a sesame seed cake, instinctively followed.
Lan Chou looked at Xiao Su Bao with icy eyes: "You are not allowed to follow me and my sister!"
Little Blue Moon looked at Blue Chou and couldn't help but say, "Alright, Xiao'er, don't bully your sister, she's so pitiful!"
"She's not pitiful, she's a bad person who wants to steal her sister away!"
Lan Chou glared fiercely at Xiao Su Bao, then reached out and pushed Xiao Su Bao away.
Little Su Bao was pushed and fell to the ground.
In that instant, Xiao Su Bao felt a sharp pain in her bottom, and she accidentally wiped her hand on the ground.
Bright red blood immediately flowed out.
Little Su Bao paused, looked at his palm, and felt like something was not quite right!
"Xiao'er, how many times have I told you not to bully other children? Why don't you listen?"
"If you keep doing this, I won't like you anymore, I won't want you anymore!"
Little Blue Moon probably knew her younger brother's temper, and immediately said something with a hint of anger.
"I knew it! You don't want me! You're a bad person!"
Lan Chou glared at them angrily, but this time he didn't leave immediately; he simply turned his head away.
Looking at her younger brother, Xiao Lanyue felt helpless. She said to Xiao Subao, "I'm sorry, my brother is just like this. He doesn't mean any harm!"
Little Su Bao looked at Lan Chou, then at Little Lan Yue, and lowered her head.
Little Blue Moon patted Little Crispy's head, then took her brother's hand and prepared to leave.
But Xiao Su Bao instinctively followed behind Xiao Lan Yue. Even after they had gone quite a distance, Xiao Su Bao still did not leave.
Little Blue Moon sensed something was wrong and frowned slightly.
"Little sister, where are your family? Shall I help you find your parents?"
Little Blue Moon could only pull the sullen Blue Chou to stop and look at Little Crispy Baby.
But Xiao Su Bao just stared at Xiao Lan Yue with her big eyes, unable to say a word.
The little guy looks a bit silly, which makes you feel inexplicably sorry for him.
"Sister, don't worry about her. We still have to go to the banquet with Father and Mother later!"
Lan Chou glared at Xiao Su Bao, then dragged Xiao Lan Yue forward.
Little Su Bao wanted to catch up, but somehow the scenery in front of her changed, and she could no longer catch up with them.
Little Su Bao was anxious; her brows furrowed.
At that moment, another person appeared in front of her.
This person is extremely good-looking, and looks just like Lan Feng.
Little Su Bao instinctively chased after him.
When Lan Feng saw her chasing after him, he frowned.
"Oh well, I don't earn much anyway, so I'll just give you all of this!"
Lan Junyi was a little helpless and could only give Xiao Su Bao ten coins.
Little Su Bao stared blankly at the heavy ten coins in her hand.
In the next instant, Lan Junyi was already standing next to a woman.
Little Su Bao stared at the woman, her eyes wide open.
It's my mother...
But Mother doesn't seem to look like that.
The woman seemed to have seen Xiao Su Bao as well, and the scene changed again the instant their eyes met.
Little Blue Moon is crying, and she's still on the street.
Little Su Bao looked anxiously at Little Blue Moon, and hurriedly chased after her with her short little legs.
Little Blue Moon ran faster and faster, and Little Crispy Treasure almost couldn't catch up.
"Father, Mother, Little Brother, where are you!"
Little Blue Moon fell down and got up again. It started to rain, and large raindrops pelted down.
Little Su Bao looked worriedly at Little Blue Moon, who was getting soaked in the rain.
Sure enough, Little Blue Moon tripped and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Little Su Bao instinctively reached out and helped the person up.
That's when I noticed that Little Blue Moon had an injury on her forehead.
In reality, a wound appeared out of nowhere on the empress's forehead.
However, the wound seemed to be very shallow, and most people couldn't see it at all.
And where the Queen and Little Su Bao were at that moment.
Little Su Bao is very strong; she used her two little hands to drag the Empress and carry her on her shoulders.
The next moment, she saw a dilapidated thatched hut.
There was also a boy in the dilapidated temple.
The boy was slightly taken aback when he saw them come in. He gave them a cold look, but then made room for them.
Little Su Bao didn't look at the boy, and quickly placed the Empress near the fire.
Seeing that Xiao Su Bao was clumsy, the boy had no choice but to come over with a dark face and put Xiao Lan Yue down.
Upon seeing Xiao Lanyue's face, the boy was slightly taken aback, but his brows furrowed even more deeply.
Little Su Bao saw the boy in front of her. Wasn't this the emperor when he was young?
Xiao Su Bao was slightly taken aback, and before she could think of anything to say, she heard the young man say, "This girl has been traumatized. If she can't find a doctor to treat her, she might be in some danger!"
Xiao Su Bao immediately became anxious. She grabbed Xiao Lan Yue's wrist and subconsciously took Xiao Lan Yue's pulse.
At this moment, Xiao Su Bao realized that Xiao Lan Yue was already seriously injured, and now that she had been rained on, her health was even worse!
"You know how to treat illnesses? But you're so young, are you sure you can handle it?"
The boy glanced at Xiao Su Bao, his tone slightly disdainful.
But they didn't win in the end; instead, they watched them nervously.
Little Su Bao remained silent for a while, then picked up a piece of charcoal and wrote a few words on the ground.
The boy looked at the few herbs, and his lips twitched slightly!
"You don't actually think we can afford these medicines, do you? There's been constant fighting at the border, and all these medicines have been sent there!"
The boy looked at Xiao Su Bao, sighed, and had a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Little Su Bao was taken aback, but didn't know what to say.
She suddenly remembered the coins her grandfather had given her earlier that day!
The little girl quickly took out all the copper coins.
The boy glanced at the copper coin, then gritted his teeth and said, "If you trust me, I'll go gather herbs for you, but you have to give me all this money!"
Little Su Bao nodded quickly, her eyes filled with determination.
Even though her cheeks were dirty, the light in her eyes made the boy pause slightly.
A moment later, the boy left with ten coins.
Little Su Bao carefully took off Little Blue Moon's outer garment and warmed it by the fire.
Fortunately, it's summer, so it's not cold.
As darkness fell, the boy was still nowhere to be seen.
Little Su Bao frowned, feeling a little anxious.
Just as the sky cleared and the moon hung high in the branches, Xiao Su Bao heard a sound outside.
She rushed over and saw a dirty boy heading towards the dilapidated shed.
"This is medicine, please check if there are any problems!"
The boy had some injuries, and there were many places where his exposed skin was bleeding.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and save them!"
After the boy finished speaking, he took off his clothes and washed them clean of mud in a nearby puddle before bringing them back to the fire.
Little Su Bao didn't hesitate; after a quick glance, she realized that all the medicines were indeed effective.
Although it wasn't meticulously prepared, saving lives was of the essence, and there was no time to worry about anything else.
She quickly washed the fresh herbs, but then hesitated and glanced at the boy.
"Take it, take it, I really owe you!" the boy muttered, but his hands moved with surprising speed.
He took out a broken earthenware pot, carefully placed it aside, and said, "There's still a little clean water in that wooden bucket, use it carefully!"
This is all well water that he obtained, originally for his own use.
Little Su Bao quickly bowed to the boy.
In an instant, the boy felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and save them!"
The boy turned his face away and placed the oil paper package he had brought back aside.
He took out two sesame seed cakes and placed them aside.
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and took out another one.
"We really owe you guys!"
He muttered to himself, but placed the three sesame cakes on a hot stone beside him.
"Little beggar, do you know whose daughter this is? You'd better take her back to her right away!"
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback, but shook her head.
She couldn't speak right now, and even if she could, it wouldn't matter, because she didn't know where her grandmother's home was!
She didn't even know where she was.
The boy glanced at Xiao Su Bao, then at Lan Yue, and paused.
"Ugh, this is so annoying!"
The boy glared angrily at the two of them; at that moment, the boy looked exactly like the Second Prince.
He's a bit cheeky and a bit of a chatterbox.
Little Su Bao quietly packed up the medicine. The young emperor looked at Little Su Bao, then at Little Blue Moon, and then took out a pill from somewhere.
Little Su Bao's nose twitched slightly, but the young emperor had already stuffed the pill into Little Blue Moon's mouth.
"I've gone mad too!" The young emperor sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Little Su Bao looked completely bewildered. How could Master's pills be here?
The little girl didn't understand, but seeing Little Blue Moon eat her master's pills, Little Su Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, outside, the emperor had also fainted in a daze.
The crown prince initially thought the emperor was just tired and asleep, but he soon realized something was wrong.
The emperor, along with the empress and Xiao Su Bao, had all fallen into a coma.
The crown prince's expression changed drastically.
"No one is allowed to tell anyone about this!"
It was during the Lunar New Year, and if something happened to the emperor and empress, it would be a serious problem.
Fortunately, in recent years the emperor has largely handed over his power to the crown prince.
The Crown Prince is no longer as sickly as before. After taking Xiao Su Bao's medicine, the Crown Prince has improved considerably.
At least he looks no different from an ordinary person.
"Second brother, you take some men to protect our parents. Third brother, you like reading, go to the library these next few days and see if there are any books that can explain the current situation!"
The Crown Prince paused, then glanced at Tang Bugui, whose face was extremely gloomy.
"Brother Tang, I'd like to trouble you to clean up the remnants of the Underworld in the coming days, otherwise I'm worried they might cause some trouble!"
The crown prince remained calm in the face of danger, and instead became even more composed.
Tang Bugui nodded. He did want to separate Xiao Su Bao and the Empress, but every time he did, all three of them would show uncomfortable expressions.
"The Hall of Yama! King Yama!" Tang Bugui's eyes were extremely deep. His daughter was his Achilles' heel, a place that no one could touch.
No matter who it is, anyone who dares to lay a hand on Xiao Su Bao is courting death!
The three people trapped in the nightmare were completely unaware of all this.
The blue moon in the dream finally woke up three days later.
After Little Blue Moon woke up, she looked at them with a confused expression.
When she first saw Xiao Su Bao, she felt a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't remember anything about it!
The young emperor was also stunned. He had seen good-looking people before, but Little Blue Moon had suddenly captured his heart.
The boy's ears were burning, and he looked unusually embarrassed.
Just then, a large number of people suddenly ran in from outside.
Those people were wearing ghost masks, and they glanced at Xiao Su Bao and the boy.
His gaze finally settled on the spot where Blue Moon was lying.
Just as they were trying to get a clear look at Lan Yue's face, a voice came from the other side.
"The Lan family is here!"
Then those people turned and left.
Little Su Bao felt a sense of relief for some reason.
Lan Yue's body trembled slightly, and then she frowned.
"Are you alright?" The young emperor looked at Little Blue Moon with a slight frown.
A hint of confusion also lingered in Little Blue Moon's eyes.
Why does this boy in front of me look somewhat familiar?
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiao Su Bao.
The little girl was probably too tired, and when she relaxed a bit, she fell asleep right away.
The young emperor wanted to say something, but he fell silent when he saw Xiao Su Bao's appearance.
For the past few days, the little girl has been staying by the girl's side, taking care of her.
Even though the young emperor was as hard-hearted as iron, he softened slightly when he saw the end.
"Don't disturb her, let her get some sleep. She hasn't slept a wink these past few days taking care of you!"
After the young emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Little Blue Moon again.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but the emperor swallowed the words back down.
Just then, a pretty little girl walked by.
When she saw the children, she paused slightly and finally sighed.
Then she saw the girl have someone bring over some sesame cakes. After that, she glanced at Xiao Su Bao, and for some reason, the woman felt a strange sense of closeness to Xiao Su Bao.
The girl reached out and touched the little girl's cheek, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"What are you doing?" The young emperor rushed over instantly, shielding Xiao Su Bao and Xiao Lan Yue behind him.
The girl paused slightly, then said in a soft, sweet voice, "I just thought this little girl looked kind; she meant no harm!"
The girl took two steps back, a hint of guilt in her eyes.
Little Blue Moon didn't sense any malice from the woman.
Just then, the girl continued, "I used all my money to do business, so this is on credit to you. You'll have to pay me back when you grow up and have your own money!"
The girl was very pretty, and her eyes curved when she spoke. Whether it was just their imagination or not, the two of them felt that the girl looked somewhat similar to the little beggar next to them.
"Alright, you can take them!"
As she spoke, the girl handed the two men the silver coins in her hand.
The amount of silver wasn't much, but it was still a tael or two!
The two exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of surprise.
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw the girl and her entourage disappear in a flash.
Although Little Blue Moon couldn't remember what had happened before, she still subconsciously hid the silver first.
When Xiao Su Bao woke up again, Xiao Lan Yue and the others had already left the place with the little girl.
Everything here felt so real. Little Su Bao opened her eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them.
"Are you alright?" Little Blue Moon was roasting a pheasant, and the aroma of the pheasant made the little girl's mouth water.
"You've been unconscious for several days!"
As Little Blue Moon spoke, the young emperor entered, holding a snake and a pheasant in each of his hands.
"I'm so lucky today, I'll make Dragon and Phoenix Soup later!" The young emperor's voice was filled with excitement.
"The mute girl is awake!" Little Blue Moon exclaimed as she looked at the young emperor.
The young emperor was taken aback, then leaned closer to make sure that Xiao Su Bao was alright and seemed to be in good condition before saying, "You really can scare people to death! You were unconscious for so many days out of nowhere!"
Fortunately, neither the young emperor nor the amnesiac Little Blue Moon chose to leave, otherwise, how could such a small creature like Little Su Bao have survived!
Little Su Bao blinked her eyes, unable to speak, she could only look at them curiously!
"By the way, don't go out lately, something's happened outside..."
The young emperor's expression changed slightly, and then he said in a low voice.
