EBE Chapter 224: The Emperor of Nanxiang is in Danger
Chapter 224: The Emperor of Nanxiang is in Danger
Li Youran opened the letter and saw: "My father's life is at stake, this witch is causing trouble..."
witch?
Li Youran's expression changed. How could a witch appear in the capital? Wasn't the vixen from before eliminated?
"We have to go back to the capital!" Li Youran said in a deep voice.
"Miss, has something important happened? Why is it so urgent?" Han Yan only knew that the messages conveyed by this kind of messenger were important matters, but she didn't know what they were specifically.
"The Emperor of Nanxiang was murdered by a witch. We have to hurry back. Hanyan, pack your things and tell mother and the others." Li Youran instructed Hanyan.
"Yes, Miss." Han Yan immediately packed up her package and went out.
Li Youran didn't have time to think about it, knowing that the situation was urgent.
Li Youran was puzzled again, why didn’t he let the golden-winged eagle deliver the letter?
"Master, I feel that the golden-winged eagle is fighting..." Tianyin Xuanniao told Li Youran's doubts in the space.
"Fighting? Is that witch very powerful?" Li Youran became even more uncertain.
"Young master, I feel that this witch is different from the previous ones and may be coming for us." Yumian had a guess, which was an ominous premonition.
When Ye knew that Li Youran was about to leave, she went out of the house and came to the yard, just in time to see Li Youran sitting on the back of the Tianyin Xuanniao.
"Ran'er, be careful on the road!"
Yeshi waved his hand.
Li Youran nodded and released the white tiger from the space to protect his family's safety. After all, he had to return to the capital and was afraid of danger on the way.
The white tiger was very obedient. It squatted in the yard and nodded at Li Youran.
The Tianyin Black Bird spread its wings and flew high into the sky.
The Tianyin Xuanniao was very fast and it reached the capital in half a quarter of an hour. Li Youran directly let the Tianyin Xuanniao fly to the imperial city.
"There is a barrier ahead and we can't get in now." Tianyin Xuanniao looked at the transparent barrier where a fight was going on.
"Then stop and land."
The Tianyin Black Bird landed in the palace.
Li Youran put the Tianyin Xuanniao into the space and quickly walked to Huang Shang’s bedroom.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong smell of blood and medicine.
Li Youran walked slowly closer and saw the Emperor of Nanxiang, Song Beizhe, lying quietly on the bed with a big hole where his heart was, as if his heart had been dug out.
Li Youran was shocked. Was this dug by that evil woman? How dare she!
The Emperor of Nanxiang treated her well, and the Empress was also very kind. The two of them were good and amiable emperors, and Song Beizhe was also a wise ruler.
The palace maids and eunuchs around were kneeling on the ground, crying with their heads down. They believed that the emperor of Nanxiang Kingdom had died and even his heart had been dug out.
"Your servant greets Princess Ruixiang." The palace maid who was kneeling beside saw Princess Ruixiang coming and hurriedly kowtowed.
When Eunuch Qin beside the emperor saw Li Youran coming, his eyes brightened.
"Princess Ruixiang, I beg you, please save the emperor!" Eunuch Qin knelt down and kowtowed, making a loud "bang bang" sound, looking at Li Youran with tears in his eyes.
"Eunuch Qin, please get up quickly and tell me what happened?"
Li Youran helped Eunuch Qin, who was kneeling on the ground, up. She wanted to figure out the situation first.
"It's like this. Ever since the Emperor accidentally met a woman at the palace banquet, it was Zhao Yongsu, the daughter of a third-rank minister of the Central Department. After the Zhao family's daughter entered the palace, she was named Defei. The Emperor was like obsessed with her, running to Defei's palace every day.
No one was interested in handling state affairs, which were now being handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Just two days ago, the Emperor went to Concubine De's courtyard, and the next day he was like a fool, not talking or going to bed, let alone eating. He was like a living dead.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discovered something was wrong, he forced the Emperor to sleep. Even when he was lying on the bed, his eyes were open. He invited the imperial physician to say that he had been drugged, and that he did not get better after drinking the drug. This has continued until today..."
Eunuch Qin recounted the whole story in a disjointed manner.
But it still doesn't get to the point.
"Then what?" Li Youran asked.
"Then I found that the medicine I had fed her flowed out of her chest. I opened her clothes and was terrified. There was a big hole! Your Highness the Crown Prince immediately wrote a letter to you, Princess Ruixiang, and then went to find the murderer and went straight to Concubine De's courtyard.
As luck would have it, I saw Concubine De eating a bloody heart, which was the Emperor's. The Crown Prince had magical powers to protect him, and then they started fighting."
When Eunuch Qin thought about what he saw on the emperor's chest, his body couldn't help but tremble.
Li Youran thought through everything. Zhao Yongsu was a witch who ate human hearts. Song Nanyao had already known this, so after writing the letter, he went straight to Zhao Yongsu's palace.
"Where is the queen?" Li Youran looked around and found that the queen was not there.
"The Queen went to the temple to pray." Eunuch Qin lowered his head.
Li Youran glanced at the emperor who looked like a living dead, his eyes looking straight ahead without a trace of emotion. Because he had kept his eyes open, his eyeballs were covered with red bloodshot.
Li Youran waved his hand and Song Beizhe closed his eyes.
Li Youran moved his eyes downwards and saw the shocking hole. The blood had already coagulated, but the place where the heart should be was empty. It was truly a living dead. How could he be saved?
"My young master, if you want to save the emperor, you must use your blood, and you must also go find the King of Hell who controls life and death in the underworld, and bring his soul back!"
Yumian told Li Youran the method.
Bleeding is easy, but going to the underworld to find the King of Hell is a little difficult.
"Eunuch Qin, go get a bowl!" Li Youran ordered.
Eunuch Qin quickly got up and went outside, and soon came back with a porcelain bowl.
Li Youran took the bowl and gently placed it beside the bed. Then he took out a sharp knife and cut his palm without hesitation. Instantly, drops of bright blood dripped into the porcelain bowl like pearls.
"Princess Ruixiang..." Eunuch Qin couldn't bear to watch this scene, and called out softly. Then he waved his hand to signal the palace maids and servants who were kneeling on the ground to step back.
Li Youran didn't say anything. Time passed minute by minute. She persisted silently until a full bowl of blood was caught.
At this time, her little face had become as pale as paper, but she still held on, slowly picked up the bowl of blood, and carefully poured it into the horrible blood hole.
Then she began to cast spells.
After half an hour of effort, the terrifying wound finally recovered.
However, there was a big hole in the clothes due to damage.
"Okay, I'll go and rest first. The emperor's six souls and seven spirits have left, and I need to find them and bring them back. In the meantime, you need to arrange someone to carefully clean the emperor's body every day." Li Youran stood up weakly and gave everything in a clear and orderly manner.
Han Yan hurried over on a Phantom Wolf and stayed by Li Youran's side.
When she saw that Li Youran had difficulty even standing, she immediately stepped forward to support her.
"I will keep Princess Ruixiang's words in mind!" Eunuch Qin bowed in gratitude.
Li Youran walked out of the palace and saw that the barrier in the air was still there, so she could only let Song Nanyao hold on for a while.
"Miss, let me help you to rest first." Han Yan helped Li Youran to the bed in the side hall.
"You go guard outside and don't come in without my order!" Li Youran wanted to go into the space to rest. There was a purification pool in the space that could help him quickly recover his mental and physical strength.
"Yes, Miss." Han Yan nodded and went to guard outside the door.
Li Youran flashed into the space, lay in the purification pool, closed her eyes and rested. She was really tired.
