The three confirmed once again that the one lying in the cell was indeed Zhao Yunwan.
However, her personality is not like Zhao Yunwan's.
None of the three could fathom the mystery behind it.
Fan Zu'an did have a slight idea.
Could it be that the soul residing in Zhao Yunwan's body now is not hers?
After all, that's how I ended up in this book.
Zhao Guangyun and Zhao Yunchen shamelessly tried to curry favor with Xiao Sheng, begging him to let them go.
“Grandpa, your correspondence with your uncle contained a lot of information about how to obtain military funds from the court to support their own private army.”
"This alone is enough to warrant the extermination of your entire family."
"He gave up being a proper member of the royal family and wanted to become emperor himself."
"He wanted to be emperor, but he wasn't smart enough and left himself vulnerable to being discovered."
"No one is to blame but yourself for being too ambitious."
“My mother severed ties with the Zhao family when you sent her to Mingzhou.”
“The Zhao family hasn’t taken care of me for a single day since I was born, and now you have the nerve to come begging to me?”
"If I were you, I would have smashed my head against a wall and died. How could I still have the face to live in this world?"
Xiao Sheng underestimated human nature.
How could people like Zhao Yunchen and Zhao Guangyun bear to die?
There's still no news from Chu Ying. She definitely won't abandon her only son and will surely come to rescue him.
As long as Chu Ying comes to save them, she will make them dare not go west, only east.
In the Zhao family, Madam Feng and her children spent their days in tears.
She went back to her parents' home to ask for help, but was turned away at the door.
It is only said that married women have no connection with their maternal families anymore.
At this critical juncture, whoever dares to save Zhao Yunchen will be buried with him.
Moreover, when Feng Deneng died before the new year, the Feng family's power was taken back.
Of the Feng family's sons, two were sent to other posts, and one remained in the capital, holding only a sixth-rank official position with some power. However, once the empress fell from grace, all the ministers who had risen through the ranks by virtue of her connections felt insecure.
Asking them to step in and pull strings now would be like dragging their own families into the mess; they're not that stupid.
Feng wanted to see Zhao Yunchen, but she couldn't even get into the capital.
She was a sheltered woman with several children, and she tried every possible method, but none of them worked.
Xu Ningyou returned home and explained Zhao Yunwan's situation.
Li Xingran was also very surprised.
"Mother, do you think Zhao Yunwan looks like a doll now?"
"Yes, the eyeballs aren't moving, but it's definitely a living person."
"So where are we going now?"
"Your father asked me to take you to the Taihe Palace to check on Emperor Hui's condition. Ever since Zhao Yunwan saw Emperor Hui last night, she has become like this."
"Mother, let's go quickly!"
"This is my first time entering the palace."
Li Xingran was a little excited.
I wonder which is more beautiful, the palace of the Southern Chen Kingdom or the palace of a modern dynasty?
Xu Ningyou and Li Xingran arrived at the capital city quickly in a carriage.
Xiao Sheng waited at the gate of the imperial city.
Upon seeing Xu Ningyou's carriage enter, he instructed the guards to let it pass.
Upon entering the imperial city, Xu Ningyou carried Li Xingran off the carriage and onto a palanquin.
[These privileged classes really know how to enjoy themselves, riding in sedan chairs pulled by human hands. How can anyone bear it? How can anyone bear it!]
It seems we need to ask our older brother to make some vehicles that he can drive, so we won't need anyone to carry the palanquin.
Upon arriving at the Taihe Hall, Li Ting, Fan Zuan, and Linghu Yao were already waiting.
The palace servants said that Emperor Hui was strolling in the garden of Taihe Hall and should be back soon.
Li Ting asked the palace servants if Emperor Hui had noticed anything unusual.
The palace attendant replied that Emperor Hui had become less talkative since returning from the imperial prison last night.
After eating, I went to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, I walked around in the yard for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, which was unprecedented for me.
Moreover, Emperor Hui's former concubines were also in the Taihe Palace, but Emperor Hui did not touch them.
They never ate together, talked together, let alone slept together.
[Emperor Hui has changed his ways! He used to be a lust-driven emperor!]
Xiao Sheng couldn't understand.
Li Ting and Xu Ningyou couldn't understand either.
Fan Zuan and Linghu Yao couldn't hear it.
[This Emperor Hui is also strange, and according to Mother, Zhao Yunwan's side is also quite strange.]
[Where's my secret manual? Help me find it. What other powerful methods does Zhao Yunwan have in the book?]
"Ding—Zhao Yunwan knows the Soul-Swapping Technique."
"Third Uncle, have you ever heard of the Soul-Swapping Technique?"
"Soul-swapping technique? I seem to vaguely remember it, but I can't recall where I've seen it before."
"Ding—Soul Switching Technique data, please check."
Li Xingran carefully read the few lines that came to mind.
【I see.】
"Father, the soul inside Emperor Hui's body should now belong to Zhao Yunwan."
"As for Emperor Hui's soul, it should be in Zhao Yunwan's body."
"But Zhao Yunwan is now in the Heavenly Prison and looks like she's in a daze. It seems that Zhao Yunwan deliberately took away a part of her soul."
"A person has three souls and seven spirits. If one soul is missing, the person is incomplete."
"They won't die, but they live like any other doll."
"Once Emperor Hui returns, you can test him and you'll find out."
"On the Cangxuan Continent, there are no more than three people who can perform this soul-swapping technique."
"I didn't expect Zhao Yunwan to know how to operate it."
"Zhao Yunwan's soul will never return to her body."
“If she chooses to take this path, then she will keep changing, and keep changing.”
"Now things are complicated. Zhao Yunwan used a soul-swapping technique, which is equivalent to her gaining immortality."
"Ruanruan, why can the Soul-Swapping Technique grant eternal life?" Li Ting asked, puzzled.
"Xingran, does that mean we're doomed to lose Zhao Yunwan?"
"Wei Xuanji might do such a thing."
"We can go and invite him here first."
"However, let's observe Emperor Hui's condition first before making any plans!"
After waiting for the time it takes to drink three cups of tea, Emperor Hui returned to the Taihe Palace as if he were a carefree wanderer.
Upon seeing his eldest son, Emperor Hui's expression seemed to suggest he wanted to devour Xiao Sheng to vent his anger.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either.
Emperor Hui bypassed the crowd and returned to his palace.
I came out after changing my clothes.
When he saw Li Xingran, Emperor Hui paused.
Finally, I couldn't help but speak up.
"What a beautiful little girl! Is she the apple of Grand Tutor Li's eye?"
"This is the first time I've seen Grand Tutor Li's beloved daughter! Did Grand Tutor Li bring his daughter to the palace for a visit?"
"This palace is all made with the people's hard-earned money, what's so interesting about it?"
Li Xingran spoke up.
Mengmeng's voice was the most beautiful sound in the world to Xiao Sheng.
Upon hearing these words, Emperor Hui's expression changed instantly.
"Ungrateful wretch."
Upon uttering these words, Emperor Hui instinctively covered his mouth.
Everyone knew that the body of "Emperor Hui" was inhabited by Zhao Yunwan's soul.
This is getting tricky.
