Chapter 503 Something Happened in the Mountains
"Ah! What is this! Don't come over here!"
Yun Bailian screamed in fear and rolled and crawled to avoid it, looking like a madman.
Su Yurou was startled, frowned and stepped back, looking at her coldly:
"Don't think I'll let you go just by pretending to be stupid!"
However, Yun Bailian could no longer hear what she said. She only felt a biting chill, as if countless icy tentacles were gently caressing her skin.
The air around seemed to become sticky, carrying a suffocating gloomy aura.
Before her eyes, countless blurry black shadows were rushing towards her. They seemed to have seeped out from the deepest darkness, carrying the breath of death.
There were bursts of shrill ghost howls in her ears, the sound was sharp and piercing, as if it could penetrate her soul.
An uncontrollable fear surged in her heart. She screamed and tried to get up to escape, but her weak body made it difficult for her to stand. She stumbled and fell, hitting the corner of the table.
Su Yurou watched as Yun Bailian's body suddenly fell limply to the ground, and the bright red blood from her forehead quickly flowed all over the floor.
She was startled and immediately asked her maid to go and check.
The maidservant nervously sniffed Yun Bailian's breath, then abruptly retracted her hand.
"Reporting to the Queen, she...she is dead!"
A trace of fear flashed in Su Yurou's eyes, purely because she had never seen a dead person before and was frightened.
But she quickly calmed down and snorted coldly:
"She died so easily. It was such a bargain for her!"
Su Yurou turned and walked out, her voice cold:
"Inform the prince in an hour and let her die thoroughly!"
All the servants obeyed:
"As you command, Princess!"
When Su Yurou heard the servants call her "Princess" directly, she felt so relieved.
That annoying bitch is finally finished. The prince has no children yet, so the position of princess naturally cannot be left vacant.
Soon, Su Yurou will truly become the prince's wife!
Everyone left, leaving only Yun Bailian's lonely body in the room.
No one noticed that a black aura gradually appeared on Yun Bailian's bloodless face and was becoming thicker and thicker.
…
Yun Mansion.
Yun Zhiping and Liu were removed from the family tree and completely expelled, and were taken away and imprisoned by the government for murder.
Liu was dragged away crying and making a fuss, and no one sympathized with her.
The next day, the news of Princess Rui Yun Bailian's "death" was reported to the palace, saying that she died suddenly of an acute illness at night.
The emperor was surprised and felt unlucky. After all, the New Year was just around the corner, but such a thing happened. It was too unlucky.
Originally, the two cases involving Xiao Zirui were still under investigation, but because the Chinese New Year was approaching, the Dali Temple deliberately slowed down the progress and planned to conclude them after the New Year.
Now that this incident happened again, the emperor disliked him even more. It was only after the queen persuaded him and wiped away her tears that the emperor calmed down a little.
Regent's Palace.
Yun Qingqing came back from the Yun Mansion yesterday and immediately went back to her own courtyard to refine her spiritual power.
She was actually a little surprised. Yesterday, when she was solving the Yunfu Yinsha Feng Shui Bureau, a large amount of wish power suddenly poured in.
But the Yun family had only a few dozen people at most, and the highest-ranking person was only Yan Jinghua, who was a noble lady. Old Master Yun did not hold any title.
Logically speaking, these people should not have such a large amount of vows.
Unless someone among them is destined to be extremely noble, be made a king or a prime minister, and be able to have a significant impact on the situation in the world, he can provide such a large amount of wish power at once.
Yun Qingqing took a quick divination on the spot, but couldn't tell who among the people in the Yun Mansion had such a special fate, so she didn't investigate further.
On the one hand, he thought that the King of Ghosts in the Underworld or the Seven Star Palace might have done something to increase his followers.
On the other hand, it could also be a barrier from Heaven, but the one who could provide her with the power of will would definitely not be an enemy, so she let it go for the time being and leave it for later.
After a night passed, Yun Qingqing finished refining her wish power and slowly opened her eyes. It was still dark.
It was a late winter day, and Qiao'er had already gotten up. After bringing warm water for her to wash up, she was about to set breakfast when she saw Xiao Changheng walking in from outside the yard.
Nan Zheng followed behind him, carrying two large food boxes in his hands.
Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment. Recently, the two of them had not done anything except necessary things. She didn't expect that he would suddenly come to her for breakfast.
Qiao'er immediately went up to him, greeted him with a smile, stood up, took a food box from Nanzheng's hand, and together they started to set the table for food.
Xiao Changheng walked to the table and pulled out a chair for Yun Qingqing:
"sit."
Yun Qingqing came back to her senses, nodded and sat down, and Xiao Changheng sat down beside her.
The breakfast was very rich and the two of them ate quietly without anyone speaking first.
Nan Zheng and Qiao'er stood behind the two of them, exchanging glances silently. Both of them looked confused and innocent, completely unaware of what was going on with their two masters.
Until a sudden gust of evil wind blew up in the room, a clear light flashed, and Zhiluo suddenly appeared, the peace was finally broken.
"Qingqing~~~~Hmm? You're here too?"
Zhiluo saw Xiao Changheng say something casually, then turned to Yun Qingqing:
"Something happened in the mountains, come quickly!"
Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.
The mountain that Zhiluo was referring to was where her mountain temple was located. If something happened there and even Zhiluo couldn't solve it, the problem would obviously be serious.
Her face turned serious and she immediately stood up, ready to go and take a look.
Xiao Changheng suddenly grabbed her.
"Wait a moment."
Yun Qingqing paused and turned back:
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Xiao Changheng was silent for a moment:
"Can I have a moment to talk?"
Yun Qingqing paused and turned to Zhiluo:
"Wait for me outside now."
Zhiluo raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Changheng, then turned and left. Nanzheng and Qiaoer had already signaled to retreat.
Yun Qingqing raised her hand and set up a soundproof barrier around the room:
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Xiao Changheng lowered his eyes for a moment and said in a low voice:
"It's the Queen's business... Can we wait until after the New Year to discuss it?"
Yun Qingqing understood that he was talking about settling the score with the Queen.
The New Year is approaching. The emperor had just lost his soul not long ago and was finally rescued and is recuperating. Xiao Zirui's princess just died.
If he took action to deal with the queen at this time, the emperor would be in real trouble.
She was silent for a moment, exhaled slowly, and nodded:
"Okay, I promise."
Xiao Changheng's expression relaxed slightly and he looked at her:
"Thank you very much."
Yun Qingqing lowered her eyes:
"You don't have to thank me. I won't show mercy after the New Year."
"...I understand." Xiao Changheng closed his eyes and said nothing else.
Yun Qingqing removed the soundproof barrier and turned to leave.
Xiao Changheng watched her and Zhiluo's figures disappear in the yard, his fingertips subconsciously stroking the black jade pendant on his waist. The indifferent look in his black eyes gradually disappeared, and a strong undercurrent of emotions surged.
…
A moment later, Yun Qingqing and Zhiluo arrived at the mountain temple.
When she got here, she looked around, a clear light overflowing from her black pupils, and she was slightly stunned.
Yun Qingqing turned to look at Zhiluo and narrowed her eyes:
"Is this what you mean by accident?"
Zhiluo grinned:
"Isn't this a big deal? But it's a big deal!"
