Ji Fengyao never expected things to turn out this way!
She said that with the Empress Dowager's ruthlessness, how could she not join the alliance of those vicious women? The Empress Dowager is definitely qualified to be the leader of that vicious alliance!
"They've all changed people, and the late emperor and the current emperor didn't even notice?" Xi Que was also speechless with astonishment.
"The Emperor was not very old at the time, and he did not have many opportunities to be close to his elder sister; the late Emperor only had Consort Lian in his eyes and heart, and he did not remember what his elder sister was like. Until the late Emperor passed away, he still thought I was his elder sister, and he called out my elder sister's name in the end," the Empress Dowager said, a faint sadness showing in her eyes.
Despite being ravaged by the "seven emotions and six desires," they can still reveal some emotions.
It is clear that this event was unforgettable for the Empress Dowager.
Ji Fengyao was just feeling deeply saddened when suddenly, through the communication jade slip, she heard Hei Xiao's heavy breathing and the sound of a conversation:
"Lin Shuang, what did you put in the wine?"
"I didn't put anything in, Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
"Don't touch me! Stay away from me!"
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
The magpie was completely bewildered: "Miss, what's going on..."
"Oh no!" Ji Fengyao's heart tightened. She suddenly stood up, waved her hand to put away the array shuttle, and sped away. Her voice came from afar outside the courtyard: "Xi Que, take care of that old hag. Make sure she doesn't wake up for three hours. Then go and ask the people around that old hag what she likes to eat, and have them make some for her. You don't need to worry about the rest."
Xi Que was eager to follow, but she had to do what Ji Fengyao had instructed her to do first.
Ji Fengyao rushed back to her own Zen temple.
At this moment, everything in the courtyard seemed calm, except for a faint sound coming from Black Owl's room.
Ji Fengyao reached out and pushed the door, but it was locked from the inside.
Inside the room, Black Owl's breathing became heavier, and the soft groans he let out were filled with the pain and anguish of barely suppressed emotions.
"Bang!"
Ji Fengyao kicked the door open, and the door shattered into pieces.
The scene inside the house was clearly visible:
Black Owl's face alternated between deathly pale and crimson, with a hint of black energy emanating from it. He was half-squatting in the corner by the bed.
Lin Shuang anxiously tugged at his hand, as if to check on his condition.
Hearing the noise at the door, Lin Shuang turned around in surprise and fright.
Upon seeing Ji Fengyao, Lin Shuang burst into tears: "Your Highness, what's wrong with Brother Xiao? Please, please help me see what's wrong with Brother Xiao."
Ji Fengyao took a step forward, sniffed lightly, looked at the food and wine on the table that had been eaten, and finally her gaze fell on the faint, dried wine stains on the table.
Ji Fengyao stepped forward and slapped Lin Shuang away from Xiao, causing Lin Shuang to roll on the ground, her left cheek immediately swelling up: "I thought you just had some minor grievances, and that with your intelligence, you would figure things out sooner or later. I never expected you to be so blinded by greed, actually colluding with outsiders to attack your own people!"
Black Owl's situation is urgent, and Ji Fengyao has no time to deal with Lin Shuang;
She only cursed once before quickly administering acupuncture to stabilize the already collapsed seal within Black Owl's body.
The seal was formed by the combined efforts of several people.
Ji Fengyao once said that sealing was only a temporary solution and that once the seal broke, the backlash would be fierce and the consequences would be unimaginable!
Ji Fengyao discovered that the speed at which her spiritual power aided the acupuncture technique in sealing the demonic energy was far slower than the speed at which it wreaked havoc within the Black Owl's body!
Black Owl's eyes have begun to turn demonic, the whites of his eyes sometimes clear and sometimes demonically black.
