Chapter 25 Approaching
Leaving the Linjiang Prince's Mansion, Bai Yuqing returned to the Zhang Mansion again, which made Zhang Ziyu very happy. During the period when Bai Yuqing left the Zhang Mansion, he always felt a little uneasy. Now Bai Yuqing is back, which makes him regain the style of the third young master again.
The reason why Bai Yuqing lives back is a helpless thing. If you want to ask something, it is best to go in openly.
Of course, I don’t do anything in the Zhang Mansion. I go to some of the wine shops and brothels in the city during the day. Of course, I will change my clothes, otherwise with my daughter now, let alone in inquiries about the news, I will also cause a lot of trouble.
However, even if you disguise yourself as a white-faced scholar, you will have other troubles. In short, two days after inquiring about the news in Jiangling City, an extremely handsome young man was circulating in the city. Many wealthy ladies and courtesans admired each other, but unfortunately they were not able to do it for a while.
Just three days after almost no other clues, news from the Linjiang Palace finally came.
The one who came to Zhang's mansion was a servant who was with the housekeeper of the royal palace a few days ago. Bai Yuqing had ordered the people from Zhang's mansion to inform her if someone came from Linjiang's mansion. So when he appeared in front of the servant again, Bai Yuqing had already changed into the white-faced Taoist who was the day.
When he went to the Linjiang Palace, Bai Yuqing also asked the servants, but unfortunately, the servants didn't know much, but they just said that they would know after they left.
At the same time, in front of the gate of the Linjiang Palace, a team of luxury horse racing escorted by dozens of maids and guards of the royal palace. This was a guard of honor for the royal palace, and the guards of the royal palace escorted the nobles in the frame back to the Linjiang Palace.
"Princess, are you going to see the prince? The princess hasn't seen the prince for several months."
A maid asked in a low voice to the noble lady in the carriage.
"Oh, no, the prince is obsessed with the magic of immortal elixirs and lingers in the alchemy room all day long. He may not want to see me. He just wants to disturb him, just bored him... Forget it, let's go back to my bedroom."
The noble lady in the carriage lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing the face of a beautiful young woman, and sighed.
The convoy entered the Linjiang Palace. The princess, escorted by the maids, returned to the princess' bedroom in the Linjiang Palace.
The maids retreated one after another.
The princess was sitting alone in front of the bronze mirror on the dressing table in the dormitory, looking at herself and sighing and pondering something. Suddenly, she turned on a piece of paper that was slightly wrinkled in her hand, with a very serious expression.
She had long felt that the prince was a little abnormal, of course the most abnormal one was the prince. In fact, the news that the prince had a strange disease was spread by her. It can be said that she is the one who is in charge of the prince's house now. The prince was addicted to the alchemy technique a month ago, and locked in the study every day and night and prohibited everyone from getting close.
Almost no one has ever been in except for the maid who delivered the meal. Even if she has gone in, the maid claims that she has never seen the prince at all. Often, as soon as she entered the door, the prince told her to put the meal on the table, and she didn't even see the prince in the inner room.
That's all, people disappeared every other day during the royal palace, some were maids, some were kitchen servants, and even guards. In recent days, even the concubine of the royal palace has disappeared.
This made the princess very frightened. When she thought about the prince's signs, she felt that this was a bit abnormal. So she claimed that the prince was sick on the surface, but in fact she was looking for some masters in the world.
A few scammers came to work together, but unfortunately the population disappeared without stopping. Later, some people with some skills were invited to ask them to be disciples of the Immortal Sect. However, when the princess asked this person to go to the study where the prince was, the prince changed his normal behavior and walked out of the study.
The princess can't forget the appearance of the prince just walked out of the study a few days ago. It was a face full of hostility, and it was completely different from before.
The prince directly asked someone to bombard the disciple of the immortal sect, and the princess didn't take it seriously at that time.
Until the next day, the servants of the royal palace discovered the body of the immortal disciple yesterday. They were either killed or poisoned. They were as if the blood in their bodies had been sucked dry. The whole person's flesh was sunken, and it looked like skin and bones. If they weren't wearing the man's clothes yesterday, they wouldn't even recognize him.
The princess has seen this person's ability before. Not to mention that dozens of people cannot get close to you, at least seven or eight people cannot get close to you.
This made the princess feel frightened. After that, the prince stayed alone in the study from time to time. However, every time he went out, he looked like a lively evil ghost, and some unnatural blue veins appeared on his face, looking very terrifying.
Fortunately, the prince did not favor her once this month, otherwise she felt that she would probably die as tragic as the one before.
However, a few days ago, there was something that made her feel that there was another village. At about noon a few days ago, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from outside her bedroom. She heard that this was the prince's voice, and it was just outside her bedroom.
When she came out, she could not see the prince's figure, but the maid guarding the door of the bedroom had a pale face. She said tremblingly that she saw a white light suddenly blooming from the eaves of the bedroom. The white light shot into the black shadow that suddenly rushed over. The black shadow was hit by the white light and screamed and ran away quickly.
In the description of this maid, the black shadow was very fast and didn't look like a human at all. It was not difficult to see her horror at that time from her expression of lingering fear.
When the princess heard this, she suddenly burst into tears. She was very familiar with the prince's voice. The voice outside just now was obviously the prince.
The next day, I heard from the butler of the royal family that he asked a master for a talisman to protect the house, and it was hung on the princess's bedroom. The steward of the royal family is also an old man in the royal family. I also heard that the princess has been looking for masters recently, and recently, some people have disappeared from time to time in the royal family, so he folded the talisman and hung it on the eaves.
When the princess heard this, she immediately asked the butler to invite the master to come over.
Bai Yuqing sat opposite the princess. After listening to the princess telling the strange things that happened in the prince's house recently and some abnormal situations that the prince has recently been, she couldn't help but frown.
"Master, can you take action to save the lives of tens of thousands of people in the royal palace?"
The princess thought of the white light mentioned by the maid yesterday, and the person in front of her was not those liars, so she couldn't help but beg.
Bai Yuqing couldn't help but remain silent when she looked at the princess's sadness and expectant eyes. This royal palace was definitely strange. As for whether it was a demon cultivator who thought it was 80% possible, and the source was the prince's place!
"Princess, before the Linjiang King, was there anything else that happened before these strange things? For example, is there any strange people coming to the door? Or privately meet the prince?"
"A month ago, the prince was seriously ill and invited nearly ten famous doctors from Jiangling City one after another. Some offered prescriptions, some performed acupuncture techniques, and even took out the so-called magic pill. However, there was no effect. However, afterwards, a wise man presented a red pill, which the prince took in less than half a day to get better.
It's strange, but the warlock of the martial arts world left after that, and never went to my Linjiang Palace again. I wonder if the Taoist priest is strange to this person?"
The princess frowned slightly and said with some thoughts.
"I heard you said before that the prince has been very strange recently. Well, I'll go and see King Linjiang."
Bai Yuqing pondered for a moment.
She also wanted to see what is strange about this Linjiang King recently.
Moreover, the sword intent of the word "Zhen" she gave to the princess is a relatively shallow talisman to inspire. As long as there are practitioners other than myself nearby, they will inspire the sword energy to attack on their own. What kind of characters are they? Are there any evil cultivators lurking in secret to control the Linjiang King?
"Thank you, Master!"
