GBP Chapter 338 Blood Blade
Chapter 338 Blood Blade
After regaining his senses, Lu Xuan hurried to take the Empress Dowager's soul out of the palace. Now that Nanny Yu had passed away, he expected that he would have to go through a lot of arrangements.
She turned her back to the palace maids and cast a spell quickly. Several truth talismans quickly flew from her body to behind them.
Before the palace maids could even see what was happening, they felt a sudden shock in their heads.
"When did Aunt Yu pass away? Before we came back, had any of you been to this room? Did you see her?!"
Lu Xuan's remaining patience was running low, and there was a hint of cruelty in his voice.
"Before, Xiao Cui and I came to this room..."
"I saw Xiao Cui come here..."
“I’ve been here…”
"..."
All of a sudden, all the maids changed their words.
However, as soon as the words came out, everyone's heart began to beat wildly.
What’s going on? Why are those words that shouldn’t be said coming out uncontrollably?
Everyone tried desperately to stop themselves from telling the truth, but their mouths were completely out of control.
"After delivering the water, we left. An hour later, Xiao Cui and I came in together and saw Aunt Yu collapsed under the table!"
"We felt her breath and knew she was dead, so we helped her to the bed. Then we all stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from coming to Jingyang Palace and discovering what had happened to her..."
Hearing these words, Lu Xuan was filled with anger.
"Then why didn't you guard us when we came back earlier? Why did you let us in as if nothing had happened?"
Lu Xuan's fierce roar set off a storm in the palace maid's heart. She was shaking with fear and could no longer resist the power of the truth talisman.
"Because, because Madam Yu has been dead for three hours. After two hours, you don't need to worry about her anymore..."
"Who told you that you can stop caring after two hours?!"
No one came for two hours. Nanny Yu's soul had already entered reincarnation, so there was no need to worry about her revealing any information.
Lu Xuan's eyes were deep red, and her fingertips were trembling with anger.
I originally thought that these palace maids were unaware and innocent, but I didn't expect that they actually lied!
"Yes, it was a master with great skills! He gave us two ingots of silver each and told us to help Nanny Yu to bed. As long as no one came in for two hours, we would be free to leave her alone..."
Lu Xuan felt as if his blood vessels were about to burst. His furious gaze blazed at the trembling people in front of him. "What if I come back within two hours?!"
"Then, then hide Nanny Yu's body, and then tell the prince and princess that Nanny is out for the time being..."
Following these words, the truth talismans on the bodies of several people burned out with a bang.
Lu Xuan was extremely angry. Almost in an instant, he rushed to Fei Xing's side and pulled out the sword from his waist with a "swish".
Before the palace maid could finish her words, a long sword had already pierced her body.
Several palace maids around her screamed in fear, and several of them rushed to the corner with their heads in their hands, huddled together tremblingly.
Tears washed down his cheeks, and Lu Xuan was like a vengeful ghost who had just escaped from purgatory.
Tears left a deep wet mark on the collar of her clothes. Her trembling body was pulled up with great force and instantly fell into a warm embrace.
Those strong hands once again gave her a tight hug and support.
Leaning in Jiang Xing's arms, her hand finally slowly dropped from the hilt of the sword, and she couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Even the palace maids could easily lie to her about such a truth.
How could she not hate him?!
This was the first time she killed someone with her own hands, but why couldn't she relieve the extreme hatred in her heart!
Jiang Xing comforted the trembling person in his arms. His voice was like ice wrapped in needles, and his eyes were so cold that they could cut someone's throat with just one glance.
"Feixing, the maids of Jingyang Palace, were disrespectful to their master during the Empress Dowager's funeral, disobeyed instructions, acted negligently and rebelliously, and failed to provide adequate care for Nanny Yu, leading to her unjust death and disturbing the Empress Dowager's spirit. Each of them is hereby awarded a cup of poisoned wine as a warning to others!"
Fei Xing glanced at the palace maids huddled together in the room, his eyes also cold, "Yes!"
Amidst cries of injustice, five palace maids and a corpse were dragged out.
In just half a moment, the strong protests and cries of injustice gradually died down, leaving only the chirping of insects and frogs in the night.
Sang Luo went out to inform the palace of the news of Nanny Yu's death. After a while, four people from the Imperial Household Department came and were responsible for escorting Nanny Yu's body out of the palace.
Lu Xuan broke free from Jiang Xing's embrace and said with a nasal voice, "I should leave now, otherwise the palace gates will be locked and I won't be able to leave."
Nodding gently, Jiang Xing kissed her forehead.
"We all remember all the kindness Aunt Yu has shown us. We still have plenty of time and opportunity to take revenge. It would be embarrassing to cry any longer."
Nanny Yu's body had been packed up, and Sang Luo and the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau were waiting at the door. Lu Xuan had just taken two steps when he suddenly felt the familiar spiritual energy in the room again.
She straightened her body and immediately looked at the floor of the wing room.
A barely perceptible spiritual power was fading from the ground. She aimed at the remaining green shadow and instantly cast a talisman.
"Ouch!"
A childish and crisp voice was heard, and Lu Xuan was so scared that he loosened his hands and stopped chanting the spell instantly.
A child's voice?
This spiritual creature is still young?
At the moment she was stunned, Huai Ling, whose spiritual consciousness she had caught, felt his body relax. He immediately found an opportunity and escaped from underground with a whoosh.
The talisman on the ground was half burned and went out in an instant.
In order to prevent anyone from discovering the traces of the talisman in the house, Lu Xuan used a spell to burn the talisman.
However, her mind did not stop.
Where have I seen this familiar spiritual creature before?
The smell is really too familiar.
Even on his body, he could still feel the recurring effects of the curse he had cast on him...
Jiang Xing didn't see the Huai Ling on the ground just now, and he felt that it was a bit strange that Lu Xuan suddenly used talismans on the ground.
But seeing that she looked serious, he didn't urge her.
Suddenly, he saw a light flash in Lu Xuan's eyes, and then he looked at him.
"Your Highness, I know what Jiang Yuanfeng has been using to spy on us!"
"what?"
"Just now, I caught a wisp of green smoke from the spirit creature's consciousness. It felt very familiar. I just remembered that it was the Huai Spirit that I sealed in the Su family!"
Jiang Xing was a little confused. "Huai Ling? What is this?"
"All things have spirits, and this locust tree is an ancient locust tree that has developed a sense of consciousness. It grew next to the Su family's wing, watching over Concubine Yun from childhood. It was this tree that protected the soul of the former Concubine Yun.
Yunpin's soul was not devoured by the evil spirit, nor was it scattered, all thanks to the Sophora japonica spirit. However, it was too young to distinguish between right and wrong, so it only knew to entangle Yunpin, trying to make her enter the Sophora japonica tree. As a result, it accidentally let Yunpin take over Su Yingting's body!
So when I went to the Su family and drew out Concubine Yun's soul, Master Su's madness was immediately cured. I remember sealing the Huai spirit away and letting it cultivate there, but somehow, Jiang Yuanfeng found it and even used it as a tool to eavesdrop on us!
His face darkened, and Jiang Xing's voice instantly cooled, "If you had known this would happen, you should have captured that monster!"
Lu Xuan shook his head. "It took hundreds of years for it to develop a spiritual consciousness. It was truly not easy. I couldn't bear to do such a cruel thing. I'm afraid it was Concubine Yun's appearance in the palace that aroused Jiang Yuanfeng's suspicion, which gave him the opportunity to accidentally discover this little thing."
"You can't bear it, but look at Jiang Yuanfeng. Huai Ling not only doesn't remember your kindness, but now it seems that he even thinks of Jiang Yuanfeng as his benefactor, so he's helping him deal with us!"
Lu Xuan snapped his fingers, his eyes looking into the deep night. "It's okay. Since I can't distinguish right from wrong and am being used by the evil, at worst, I can just get rid of them together!"
