, Li Qingning turned her head again, and said lightly: "Pour red bean soup."
The cook hurriedly added the red beans that had been cooked earlier, and the porridge in the bowl was half red and half white, very beautiful.
Li Qingning nodded slightly, and then her frowning brows relaxed, and she said slowly: "Fang Xin, take her back to the house."
Fang Xin was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked forward after regaining consciousness, picked up the hot porridge and walked outside.She secretly gathered spiritual energy in her hands and dissipated the heat, so she didn't feel hot.
Back in the room, Li Qingning sat up straight in front of the table, and blew the porridge in the spoon until it was half-cold before putting it into her mouth.
Only then did Fang Xin regain her senses, and couldn't help but ask, "What is your Highness doing in the kitchen?"
After Li Qingning swallowed, she frowned and said, "The sugar porridge cooked by the cook is not quite what I want."
Fang's heart choked for a moment, she never knew His Highness liked to eat sweets, and she remembered clearly that His Highness didn't even like sweet melons and fruits.
I don't even know who it is for.
Fang Xin was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Could it be that the cook put too much sugar."
Li Qingning frowned and said: "The sugar porridge cooked by the cook is not very thick, and the sweetness of the roasted red beans is too weak."
Fang was hesitant to speak but stopped, thinking that when the fairy was around, the bowl of sugar porridge was made by the cook.
Li Qingning seemed to see what she was thinking, so she said in a cold voice, "She didn't eat much last time."
Fang Xin slowly took a deep breath, thinking, how long has it been since this happened, yet His Highness is still brooding over it.
She pouted her lips, thinking about it and still wanted to ask, so she asked cautiously: "But how does Your Highness know how to make sugar porridge?"
"It's in the book." Li Qingning said expressionlessly.
Standing by the side, Fang Xin always felt that His Highness seemed to have changed his appearance unknowingly, like her but not like her.
Previously, Li Qingning could only keep a cold face, no matter who she spoke to, she always had a cold look, but if she showed her sharp edge, underneath that heartless and ruthless look was a sharp knife.
But now Li Qingning is still indifferent, and there is still a sharp knife hidden in her heart, but there seems to be a corner of softness left.
But it was only left to the man in red.
Li Qingning swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, wiped her lips with a silk handkerchief, and said calmly, "How about it."
Only then did Fangxin say: "There are indeed some strange things in the Tianshitai."
"How weird." Li Qingning asked.
Fangxin frowned and recalled, "There is a certain person's aura everywhere in the Tianshitai. When I got to the viewing platform, the servant called the national teacher a few times, and knocked on the door for a long time. The national teacher answered first, but then there was nothing. No response, no door opened."
She paused for a moment, then said: "The servant probed into the bamboo house again, but the national teacher didn't notice it, this time, the servant only felt that there seemed to be two people's aura inside, but the soul breath was only one person, it is really strange. "
"When I went to the Tianshitai, I didn't expect this breath. After thinking about it for a long time, I had doubts, so I ordered you to find out." Li Qingning paused, and asked with a frown: Did the teacher open the door?"
Fang Xin quickly took out the holding mirror, cupped it with both hands and said: "Later, the servant broke into it and said... His Highness ordered the servant to fetch the mirror, so the national teacher stood up."
Li Qingning took the holding mirror in her hand, raised her hand slightly, and her face appeared in the mirror.
She frowned and put her hands on the mirror.
Wasn't it because of the person who often appeared in the mirror that she had to worry a little more now, fearing that someone would be hiding in the mirror.
After covering the mirror with her hand, Li Qingning didn't notice anything strange, so she was relieved.
She put the mirror on the table and said, "Then what."
Fang Xin said: "Then the national teacher turned around to speak, but his face was covered with a mask, the servants could not see his appearance."
Li Qingning lowered her eyes and pondered, "Tell me, you called several times and knocked on the door, but the national teacher didn't even open the door, and the national teacher didn't notice your aura entering the room?"
"Yes." Fang Xin paused for a moment, and said again: "After the slaves broke into the house, the national teacher came back to his senses."
Li Qingning frowned, and said coldly: "When you entered the room, the national teacher was meditating."
"He was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back facing the door. I don't know if he is meditating." Fang Xin said immediately.
Li Qingning's expression froze, "He's out of his mind, he has no time to be distracted."
Chapter 97

The fallen leaves on the trees outside the house were still falling one after another, and when the cold wind blew, several pieces swayed and fell to the ground.
"Out of the soul?" Fang Xin was stunned for a moment, "Why did the national teacher have out of the soul?"
Li Qingning's face was very cold, "That's exactly what I'm worried about."
Fang Xin was startled when she heard the words, after realizing that His Highness suddenly changed his name, Xin Dao must be very upset at the moment, and it seems that there are not many people who can make her so flustered.
Li Qingning pursed her lips loosely, her long eyebrows were furrowed tightly, but what was in her eyes was not sorrow, but fierceness.
As if a storm was about to come, she lowered her eyebrows and sat upright on the stool, obviously not saying a word, but people dare not offend, lest they touch her scales.
Fang Xin shut her mouth tightly immediately, unable to guess Li Qingning's thoughts for a moment.
When had she ever seen such an expression on Li Qingning's face? Before, even if Li Qingning got angry again, she only had a cold face, and her eyes were cold and sharp, as if they were heartless, but now...
Now Li Qingning's complexion is not only cold, but more like showing sharp edges, with sharpened ice edges all over her body.
Li Qingning thought for a long time, where would the national teacher's soul go.
The only thing she was worried about was that the national teacher had gone in the direction of Weifeng Island.
Fortunately, she ordered Fangxin to go to the Tianshitai to find out what happened, which disturbed the national teacher and had to return to her soul.It's a pity that the soul can come out again after returning to the soul, and I'm afraid that the national teacher will look for it again.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Xianyu, it's just that she really doesn't know the details of the national teacher.
After sitting still for a long time with her lips pursed, Li Qingning's eyes finally moved.
Fang Xin quickly bent down, waiting for Li Qingning to speak.
But Li Qingning just said: "Don't be nervous, tomorrow..."
She paused and said after a long time: "Forget it, you go out first."
Fang Xin responded, and looked back worriedly before going out, sighed and quickly closed the door.
Inside the house, Li Qingning couldn't see the pens, inks, papers and inkstones left and right, and she really didn't want to order someone to fetch them again, so she simply raised her hand, and the crumbling dead leaves outside the house floated into the house through the propped up window lattice.
When the wind blew, the dead leaf just fell into Li Qingning's hands.
Li Qingning lowered her head, brushed her fingertips across the fallen leaf, and a line of words appeared on the leaf.
The words were not written in ink, but seemed to be made of light. It took only a moment for the light to dim again, and the words on the dead leaves disappeared.
The dead leaf burned out in her palm, and appeared in another place.
But it didn't appear in the cave where Xianyu was hiding, but on Weifeng Island.
Qi Ming was still mourning the spring and autumn in the room, when he suddenly heard rustling sounds, followed the sound, and saw a dead leaf stuck in the crack of the door.
He raised his hand to drive the spiritual energy to open the door. The moment the door opened, there was a sudden sound of wind, and the dead leaves were blown into the room.
Qi Ming stretched out his hand to pinch the fallen leaf, and used the previous method to see the words hidden in the dead leaf.
Only then did I learn that Li Qingning wanted to ask him: "Where are the fragments, where is the jade plaque?"
Li Qingning was waiting in Yangning Palace, and soon saw Qi Mingran's paper crane.
But what was written on the paper crane was that Xian Yu had taken away the fragmented scroll, and the jade plaque had also returned to its owner.
Li Qingning closed her eyes, and the breath she let out just now came to her throat again. It's fine if the fragments of the scroll were taken away, but if even the jade plaque was taken away, she would have no way of knowing whether the person is safe or not now .
After a long time, she burned another dead leaf for Qi Ming, but this time she didn't ask any questions, but asked Qi Ming to do the math for Xian Yu.
Although Qi Mingbu is not as good as the national teacher, Guan Xing is the best.
It’s just that stargazing is different from divination. You can do divination anytime and anywhere, but stargazing requires the right time, place and people, and both are indispensable.
After Li Qingning shook off the ashes in her hands, she dipped her hands into the copper basin and washed them carefully.
While rubbing her fingers, she looked out of the window, the sky was not yet clear, and it was still gloomy.
The team that went to Wuli Town with Li Wuyin to help the disaster only sent back the news today.
In Yuanzheng Hall, Li Zaiyu leaned his head back on the chair, his eyes were already red.He pursed his lips into a line, but didn't say a word.
A group of people knelt in the hall, put their heads on the floor, and kept silent.
The entire hall was dead silent, and even the bright fire on the lampstand did not bring any warmth.
Cold, cold and solemn.
The people kneeling in the hall expected that Li Zaiyu would be furious, but he pursed his lips and kept his fingers tightly wrapped around the armrest of the seat. The dragon head on the left and the tiger head on the right were covered under those fingers.
Those individuals all lowered their heads, so naturally they couldn't see a single tear on Li Zaiyu's face.
Li Zaiyu's eyes were very red, and his pupils were moist, but he didn't shed a single tear.
He raised his head, seemed to be thinking, and also seemed to regain his senses, his eyes were already empty.
The people in the temple didn't even dare to open their mouths to breathe. Their whole bodies were icy cold, and their ten fingers on the ground turned white from the force they exerted.
It took a long time for Li Zaiyu's eyeballs to move. He coughed violently until his eyes turned white and his complexion turned pale. When his breath calmed down, he turned his head to look at the eunuch who was persistently whisking the dust.
The eunuch had a bitter look on his face, seeing Li Zaiyu looking at him, he took a few steps closer.
Li Zaiyu coughed a few more times, only to feel dizzy, and wondered if it was because of his drug addiction last night.
His eyes were in a daze, as if he couldn't see again, his eyes seemed to be covered with fog.
Fearing that the drug addiction would break out again, Li Zaiyu's breath suddenly became rapid, his heart was beating wildly and restlessly, he breathed unsteadily and said: "Tell the eldest princess to come here."
As soon as the words finished, Li Zaiyu closed his eyes, and after calming down his breath, he said again slowly: "As the aunt of the emperor, the eldest princess should let her know."
The people kneeling in the hall dare not say more, especially the adult who had a dispute with Li Wuyin on the narrow path in the mountain, even more dare not say more.
After the eunuch went to deliver the message, Li Zaiyu said slowly: "How many people are going to Wuli Town now?"
"One hundred and twenty." said the adult kneeling on the ground.
Li Zaiyu pondered for a while, "Who is the leader?"
"Return to Your Majesty, the county magistrate and governor of Tong County." The man responded quickly.
Li Zaiyu nodded slightly, and when he opened his closed eyes, he seemed to have no strength to speak, "How did you bring him back, I heard...that cloud cliff is hundreds of feet deep."
"We searched for a way down the cliff that we hadn't seen for a day, so we had to tie a hemp rope around our waists, and climbed down the cliff slowly, and then near the bottom of the cliff..."
The man paused for a moment, and then said: "I saw the Second Highness being held up by a tree branch, and His Highness's abdomen was also..."
"It was also pierced by a tree branch, and blood gushed out." The speaker choked for a moment, his low back trembled, and said again: "When we rescued His Highness, His Highness was already out of breath."
Li Zaiyu didn't speak, but after hearing these words, he really felt that Li Wuyin was indeed dead.
Falling off a hundred-foot-high cliff, being pierced by a tree branch, almost bleeding out, even a saint might not be able to survive.
He was suddenly a little dazed, this son was well-behaved and obedient when he was young, and he was the smartest among several princes, but now, this son died because of his one word.
But what should I do?
Li Zaiyu couldn't figure it out for a while, his eyes were very empty, and his eyes became more blurred, his face wet in a trance, and the scene in front of him seemed to be a little clearer.
Only then did he realize that the reason why his eyes were blurred just now was not because of drug addiction again, but because his eyes were moist.
The reason why my whole body is weak and my heart is beating wildly is because I feel lost and have mixed feelings.
He raised his jaw again, closed his eyes tightly, and took a slow breath.
Li Wuyin should, should, if this son does not die, he must die.
The eunuch who sent the message arrived at Yangning Palace, and the eunuch came many times, as soon as Fangxin saw him, she knew that the emperor wanted to see her highness.
Her eyes darkened, and she could see that the eunuch was in a hurry, which showed that His Majesty must have something important to discuss.
Fang Xin walked to the door and said in a low voice, "I don't know that my lord wants to see His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
The chief eunuch sighed, and said hastily, "Your Majesty, Princess Xuan, see you."
Fang Xin said that this was indeed the case, and after answering, she quickly turned around and walked towards Li Qingning's dormitory.She knocked on the door but there was no response, she called out a few more words in a low voice, "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
"Come in." The person in the room said.
Li Qingning sat on the edge of the bed, her face seemed to have no flaws, but her kneecaps turned towards the small cabinet beside the bed.
Fangxin naturally didn't know what was in that cabinet now, but she remembered that she had put a cold chain in it earlier.
The last time I saw it, the cold chain was wrapping around Li Qingning's body, and Li Qingning was sitting in front of the mirror.
Fang Xin was very anxious just now, but after realizing that she seemed to see through something again, half of her leg was still outside the threshold, and she couldn't step into the house no matter what.
She took a deep breath, her eyes flicked back and forth between the small wooden cabinet and Li Qingning's fingertips.
Li Qingning was indifferent as usual, her hands were on her lap, she was sitting upright, but unfortunately her eyes trembled slightly.
Fang Xin lowered her head to look at Li Qingning's legs again, and after a closer look, she realized that the small wooden cabinet was not closed properly, and a corner of black fabric was exposed beside the door.
Fangxin might not be able to figure out what was exposed for a while, but Li Qingning was very clear.
It was the rag she threw into the deep part of the wooden cabinet, and it was torn from her clothes by Xian Yu.
Seeing Fangxin's eyes dodging, Li Qingning didn't know what she thought of, and said slowly: "Forget it, you turn around first."
Fangxin was surprised when she heard the words, and told her to turn around for some reason.One of her legs was still inside the threshold and the other was outside, and she didn't know whether to enter or go out.
After a while, Li Qing said in a cold voice: "Still turning?"
"Young maidservant, turn now." Fang Xin responded, and quickly turned back, looking at the anxious eunuch in the yard.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, but saw that Fang Xin turned around and stood outside the door without moving, and the door was mostly blocked, so he couldn't see what the people in the room were doing.
Li Qingning didn't do anything, although she wanted to do something.
Before Fangxin knocked on the door, she hesitated for a long time, her heart itched badly, but she didn't want to let herself do such absurd things, her heart seemed to be emptied by desire, and she really wanted to use something to empty her empty heart make up.
When he didn't hear from that person, he thought about it even more, and felt that the gap in his heart was even bigger.
But she is not a person who is ignorant of modesty. When she was tormented with a headache, she gave in a little and allowed herself to take out the shredded clothes in the wooden cabinet.
After taking it out, she couldn't help thinking of how Xian Yu tore off the cloth.
When Xian Yu was trembling and her eyes were red, she tightened her fingers and tore it off with a swipe.
Li Qingning just wanted to look at the rag, but after holding it in his hand, his mood became even more confused.
She sat on the couch with a cold face and did not move. She wrinkled the rag in her hand, and suddenly heard Fang Xin and others talking outside the room.
Fortunately, this prevented her from continuing to be absurd.
Li Qingning's face was frosty and cold, and she couldn't help but feel that she couldn't go on like this, so she opened the wooden cabinet and threw the rag in her hand.
She closed the door of the cupboard and let Fang Xin in. She was so upset that she didn't realize that a corner of the rag was exposed.
Therefore, as soon as Fangxin opened the door, she saw that scene.
After being ordered to turn around, Fang Xin stood outside the door and thought for a long time, only then did she realize that the corner of the fabric exposed in the wooden cabinet was somewhat familiar, and on second thought, wasn't that the material of His Highness's clothes.
But after confirming that the thing was clothing material, she couldn't help being more at a loss, and she didn't know what her highness was doing with the clothes in it.
In the room, Li Qingning bent down to open the wooden cabinet, put the rag away, and then closed the cabinet door again.
She straightened her skirt before walking out the door, and said coldly: "What's the matter, we can talk about it now."
Only then did Fang Xin turn around, and said in a dazed voice, "It's His Majesty's announcement."
After Fangxin took a few steps back, Li Qingning saw the people standing in the yard, and she naturally saw the strange expression on the eunuch's face, so she hurriedly said, "Let's go."
On the way, Li Qingning looked sideways at the eunuch who was following him, only to see that he looked lost, as if a little worried.
She didn't ask any questions, and after arriving at the Yuanzheng Hall, she walked straight into the hall, and saw several people kneeling on the ground when she entered the door.
Although she didn't recognize those people, they looked like they had been through some storm, and their clothes were a little ragged.
Li Zaiyu sat on it, supported his forehead and said, "The disaster relief army has reported back."
Li Qingning understood, this time it was roughly confirmed that Li Wuyin was gone.
She lowered her eyes, but still asked: "I don't know how the emperor's nephew is."
"Zhao Qing carried it back." Li Zaiyu raised his hand and pointed to one of the people kneeling on the ground.
"Where is the imperial nephew now?" Li Qingning asked again slowly.
Li Zaiyu was silent for a long time before he said: "In Xingqing Palace..."
After a pause, he continued, "Stop."
And in a cave in a certain corner of the coast, the face of the person sitting cross-legged in the magic circle was already as pale as onyx.
His face is white, his hair is as black as five stones of lacquer smoke, but his clothes are red, red and bright.
In the light and darkness, the person sitting cross-legged on the ground seemed charming, especially the blood on her lips was congealed, as if she had just eaten someone.
The mountain is still dark, the birds that have fluttered their wings have not yet returned, and the sky is still covered with thick clouds.
Xian Yu sat cross-legged and meditated. Although she had no time to care about things other than herself, she clearly felt that not long ago a strong aura had touched the magic circle she had set up.
The powerful aura shattered the stone at the entrance of the cave, and attacked the magic circle like a poisonous snake preying on it.
Naturally, Bai Tu also noticed it. After all, the movement caused by the spiritual energy was not small, but he found that the spiritual energy dissipated suddenly, as if it was withdrawn as soon as it was shaken out.
He moved his ears slightly, and when he heard the low moan escaping from Xian Yu's lips, his heart sank a little.
With only a few words left, Xian Yu recited all the engravings on the bamboo tablet without missing a word.
Bai Tu didn't dare to be distracted, and stared outside the cave for a long time, but the aura that came from nowhere didn't strike again.
Chapter 98
98
Bai Tu had nowhere to know where the aura had gone, so he could only watch out of the cave with his ears up.
Behind him, Xian Yu's bones creaked, as if they were about to be crushed.
She was almost unable to sit still, the hand on her knee went limp, and the back of her hand slipped off her knee, and she had to support herself on the gravel-strewn ground.
Her palm was pierced by a few sharp stones, but she didn't feel any pain at all, no matter how painful it was, it didn't hurt like the meridian and spiritual sea seemed to be burst.
She bit her lower lip, swallowed a mouthful of blood as soon as it hit her throat, and her mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
The whole body of the spiritual baby in the spiritual sea was pierced, as if it had become a target, and the light pierced through it like a sharp arrow, but the arrow did not hit from the outside, but pierced from the spiritual baby .
The spiritual energy in the entire spiritual sea was surging, really like the rising waves of the sea, and her spiritual sea was clearly a reef, being hit by this spiritual energy.
With a movement of Xian Yu Subai's neck, he swallowed the blood that welled up his throat, and the hand that was on the ground could hardly hold it anymore, shaking like a sieve.
As if she was going to die, it hurt her to death.
But she couldn't stop, if she stopped, she would have to enter the magic barrier, then she would be really disrespectful and bloodthirsty.
Li Qingning was worried that she would become like that, so she refused to hand over the fragmented scroll to her for a long time. If she really lost her mind, how could she feel sorry for Li Qingning for giving her the fragmented scroll.
She must return safely to the capital.
Xian Yu clenched his lower lip, loosened his white teeth, and read out the last few people.
Inside the magic circle, the last wisp of white smoke floated out of the rolled bamboo tablet, and the smoke disappeared in mid-air in an instant.
Bai Tu's bloodshot eyes widened immediately, he turned around and looked at the person sitting cross-legged behind him, only to see that Xian Yu had bitten his lower lip until it was dripping with blood, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
He paced to the side of the bamboo tablet, and opened the rolled bamboo tablet with his nose.
Being hit like this, the bamboo tablet immediately rolled a few inches, and slowly unfolded a little on the ground.
Although the bamboo tablet was only opened a little bit, Bai Tu could see it clearly, all the characters on the bamboo tablet had disappeared, and the bamboo tablet was empty, and the vast aura could no longer be felt.
The aura turned into smoke and floated into the air, but it didn't just disappear, but went to Xianyu's spiritual sea.
The spiritual energy hidden in the scroll when he was engraving, was absorbed by Xian Yu with the exercises into his heart.
Bai Tu crouched down again, but this time he didn't look out of the cave, but at Xianyu.
Xian Yu only felt the pain, the pain was so painful that she just wanted to scratch her heart and lungs, every inch of her muscle was hurting, every inch of her bone was hurting, her spirit sea was also hurting, and so was the spirit baby in the spirit sea.
Although she has been absorbing souls to make up for the immortal tendons and the spiritual sea, her body is still extremely fragile. In a trance, she felt that she might not be able to survive this calamity.
But she hasn't returned to the capital to see Li Qingning yet, she hasn't laid her head on Li Qingning's lap to blow the pillow breeze, and she hasn't told Li Qingning in detail how she never forgot him when she saw him in her previous life.
She hasn't said yet, why she wanted to occupy Li Qingning's calm heart at that time, and how she approached her step by step, so that Li Qingning had to be absurd with her.
There are still so many things that have not been done, and she is really not reconciled to seeing Li Qingning take that position.
How can she be reconciled, isn't she reincarnated for these reasons, but now she has only done a few things.
She can't go, she is not reconciled.
Xian Yu's closed eyes trembled slightly, and he quickly moved the exercises according to the second half of the scroll.
If the bones are going to break, then let it break, if the Linghaixian tendons are going to swell, then let it burst.
As long as this life is still there, at worst it will take some time to repair it.
Thunder rumbled outside the cave, but Yunchuan's switch did not fall.
The sound was deafening, even if Xian Yu's ears were ringing, she could still hear it clearly.
Know what is about to be split from the cloud.
She should be afraid, but so what if she is afraid, is it possible that if she is afraid of the electric shock, she will not fall.
Bai Tu, who was squatting on the ground, breathed out fiercely, and another magic circle rose up around the ground, protecting him and Xian Yu under it.
Xian Yu's hands on the ground kept shaking, his body leaned forward, and his back also bent down.
She was so painful that she had to lower her head, her black hair was scattered on the side of her face, making it difficult for people to see her face clearly.
Rocks fell outside the entrance of the cave, Xian Yu had no time to be distracted, but Bai Tu hung up his whole heart, turned around suddenly and looked out of the cave.
I saw a gust of spiritual energy coming in like a gust of wind, knocking several magic circles into white light splashes, and several cracks faintly appeared on the magic circles, and the magic circles would be completely broken with just one blow.
Bai Tu hastily added another layer of magic circle, but he didn't dare to step away from Xian Yu, fearing that this was some cunning person's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
He stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and when another wave of spiritual energy struck, his eyes narrowed slightly.
At that moment, the air around him seemed to freeze, and an invisible force shook the spirit back.
The repelled spiritual energy hit the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and there was a loud bang, and gravel and powder were scattered in all directions.
Gray smoke shrouded the entrance of the cave, and what spread like a thick fog was dust blown by the wind.
Faintly, a tall and thin figure appeared in the thick smoke. The man was dressed in a long robe, and his face...
Bai Tu narrowed his eyes, and when the man came out of the thick fog and got closer, he finally saw clearly that the man's face was covered by a mask.
For some reason, he felt that this person looked a little familiar.
The eyes of the robed man behind the mask slowly turned, as cold and vicious as a snake, but he didn't look at Bai Tu, but looked at the man in red sitting cross-legged.
Xian Yu was still suffering from pain. She sensed the arrival of another breath, but she couldn't open her eyes yet, because it was just that close...
The man in the robe paused, looked at the man in red in the circle, his pupils shrank slightly, and said in a slightly deep voice, "Who are you?"
The rabbit lying on the ground did not move, and an old voice came from the abdomen, also saying: "Who are you?"
Hearing the sound, the robed man lowered his eyes and looked down at the rabbits in the formation.
His eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it, and the hand that was tucked in the cuff suddenly lifted, and the cold aura gathered in the palm.
Xian Yu only felt that someone was talking, but she couldn't hear clearly. Her ears were buzzing, and the spirit baby in the spirit sea was almost unable to hold on.
The feeling of being penetrated and torn was transmitted from the spirit baby to her body.
It hurts, it hurts so much that it seems to be torn apart by five horses.
Perhaps more than five horses torn corpses, it seems to be smashed to pieces.
She opened her mouth and gasped violently, but felt that her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't breathe, nor could she swallow.
But not reconciled, how could she be reconciled.
The moment the spirit baby was shattered, her spiritual sea seemed to be burned by scorching flames, and all the bones in her body seemed to be broken, and her muscles and bones couldn't even use any strength.
She swayed and fell to the ground trembling all over, but the moment she fell, she suddenly opened her eyes.
His eyes were red, and his pupils seemed to be stained with blood.
The hostility suddenly appeared in those eyes, like a violent evil spirit.
Xian Yu saw the robed man in the distance clearly, endured the pain all over his body, and raised his hand to use his spiritual energy to tear off the man's mask.
She opened her mouth slightly to exhale, blood was also stained between her teeth, she really looked like a murderous ghost.
"Are you... Dongzhou Guoshi." Xian Yu gritted his teeth and asked.
She really wanted to know if the face of the person in the distance had been burned, or if they were the national teachers who had never shown their true colors.
Suddenly, the thunder outside the cave rang again, more dull than before, more like it was going to tear the sky apart.
The man in the robe stared straight at his eyes, and raised his hand to block the spiritual energy from Xian Yu. He heard the rumble of thunder outside the cave, and wanted to take a step back, but unexpectedly, his hands and feet were trapped by three chains of cold, and he was also trapped by Choked by the throat.
The cold chain is not a cold chain, it is actually formed by gathering aura, and this aura comes from Bai Tu's hands.
Xian Yu wanted to take off the mask on the man's face again, but he didn't know that the mask seemed to be on the man's face, and he couldn't pull it off.
The rumbling thunder sounded again, and the red switch suddenly fell and hit the tree outside the cave, causing the tree to burst into flames, with thick smoke billowing from the fire.
"Concentrate!" Bai Tu said in a deep voice.
Xian Yu struggled to straighten her body, and put her trembling hands on her knees, but she was unable to straighten her back, and just sitting up, she seemed to be on the verge of falling, and wanted to fall over again.
In an instant, like a landslide and an earth crack, a light poured down from the top, but it didn't suddenly turn on the lamp...
Instead, the cave was split open, and the red thunder fell rapidly.
It seems that a huge surge is coming, and every corner in this cave is inevitable.
Before the dazzling red thunder fell, the magic circle covering the heads of Xian Yu and Bai Tu had already shattered like brittle porcelain.
Xian Yu hurriedly harnessed the spiritual energy, trying to resist the thunderstorm that was about to hit the top, but unfortunately she couldn't use all the spiritual energy in her body, because Linghai was in great pain.
Hateful, I hate how this body is so weak.
This is how she is willing.
The robed man trapped in the distance tried to return to his soul. His thin strands of soul clearly came from the soul.
Xian Yu clenched her teeth, squinted her eyes slightly, and suddenly took out the soul-gathering lamp.
What she wants to gather is not the soul of the dead in the mountain, but the soul of the man in the robe.
The robed man seemed to recognize the lamp, and when he saw Xian Yu holding the lamp in his hands, he suddenly widened his eyes, and his eyes under the mask were as red as white-painted pupils.
Xian Yu struggled to twitch the corners of his lips, and slowly smiled. He was obviously very embarrassed, but he seemed to handle it very well.
Bai Tu at the side was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Xian Yu was thinking.
I saw the red thunder falling, but the thunder that seemed to destroy the world did not land on Xian Yu's head, but struck the green lamp that Xian Yu raised above his head. The fire was burning slowly.
In the black flames, there was a faint figure struggling, it was clearly the robed man bound by cold chains.
In an instant, there was a loud bang from the lightning strike, and thick smoke rose up all around. The red thunder snaked around like branches, and the cave was scorched black.
There was a buzzing in Xian Yu's ears, as if she couldn't hear the sound for a long time, she bent down, her hand holding the lamp was still held high, but she protected Bai Tu under her body.
The blue-black flame in the lamp disappeared together with the red thunder, and the figure in the flame naturally also disappeared.
There was silence for a long time in the cave that was split open. Afterwards, the lamp body crackled and shattered into several fragments of different sizes.
Xian Yu finally lost his strength, his hands suddenly dropped, and he lay on the ground on his side.She looked out of the cave that was split open, watching the black clouds on the sky suddenly dissipate for a moment.
She was stunned for a moment, her mouth was still slightly open, she just felt that it was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.
After a long time, she moved her lips and said, "I hope you will forgive me for ruining your lamp."
Bai Tu didn't think about the lamp, and asked quickly: "But the situation has been broken?"
Xian Yu pursed her lips and said nothing, her spiritual baby seemed to be ruined, and now the spiritual sea was in chaos, and her whole body ached like bones and tendons were broken.
"How?" Bai Tu asked again.
Xian Yu turned sideways, turned his back to Bai Tu and slowly curled up on the ground, his black hair messily scattered on the ground.
It was gone when he saw the robed man just now. He was curled up like a discarded swaddle, and his breath was very weak, as if he had only one breath left.
Bai Tu originally wanted to use his spiritual energy to explore her spiritual sea, but just as he was about to use his spiritual energy, he suddenly heard the person whose back was turned to him speak.
Xian Yu said, "Your Highness has been waiting for me for a long time."
Far away in the capital.
There was no pity in Li Qingning's eyes, but she lowered her head slightly so that people could not see her eyes clearly.
She said slowly: "This trip is inherently dangerous, and I hope that the emperor will take good care of the dragon body. The emperor's nephew has always been filial and sensible, and I definitely don't want to see the emperor be so heartbroken."
Chapter 99

In the main hall, Li Zaiyu coughed a few times, and when he raised his arm, he stopped Li Qingning's words.
Li Qingning lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and did not continue to speak.
After a long time, Li Zaiyu stopped coughing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Forget it, let me be quiet, and you all step back first."
The people kneeling at the bottom got up and cupped their hands one after another, bowed their heads and retreated.
Li Qingning was about to turn around, but she heard Li Zaiyu say: "Princess, please stay."
She paused, and saw that the light on the ground from outside the door slowly narrowed, and finally the door closed.
"I don't know what the emperor's order is." Li Qingning said calmly.
Li Zaiyu supported his forehead and sighed slowly, his complexion extremely complex, he said after a long time: "Concubine Qing is making a fuss in Xingqing Palace now, asking everyone in her company to pay for Wuji's life, the reason is that they didn't take good care of the prince."
Li Qingning said: "The second emperor's nephew was born to Concubine Qing, and she watched her grow up. Seeing that Wuji was about to reach the crown, but such things happened. It is natural for Concubine Qing to be so sad and angry."
"Why don't I feel sad." Li Zaiyu said slowly.
Hearing this, Li Qingning lifted her chin and glanced at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.
She could see that although Li Zaiyu was sad, he was relieved.
Li Zaiyu paused for a long time, and then said: "But the affairs of the family and the country are important. Even if I am heartbroken, I still have to hide this sadness in my heart."
Li Qingning lowered her head again, swaying her hair slightly, she said calmly: "Wu Yin must have suffered a lot on the way back, I don't know what the emperor's brother has planned."
"Wu Yin's trip was due to the aid of the disaster. I am deeply saddened." Li Zaiyu said in a deep voice, and coughed a few times after he finished speaking, as if he was about to die.
Looking at his complexion, Li Qingning thought that maybe it was because of a drug addiction attack, Li Zaiyu's complexion became paler, his lips darkened a little, his eyes were cloudy and red, as if he was seriously ill.
Perhaps Li Zaiyu's time is really numbered.
The cook hurriedly added the red beans that had been cooked earlier, and the porridge in the bowl was half red and half white, very beautiful.
Li Qingning nodded slightly, and then her frowning brows relaxed, and she said slowly: "Fang Xin, take her back to the house."
Fang Xin was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked forward after regaining consciousness, picked up the hot porridge and walked outside.She secretly gathered spiritual energy in her hands and dissipated the heat, so she didn't feel hot.
Back in the room, Li Qingning sat up straight in front of the table, and blew the porridge in the spoon until it was half-cold before putting it into her mouth.
Only then did Fang Xin regain her senses, and couldn't help but ask, "What is your Highness doing in the kitchen?"
After Li Qingning swallowed, she frowned and said, "The sugar porridge cooked by the cook is not quite what I want."
Fang's heart choked for a moment, she never knew His Highness liked to eat sweets, and she remembered clearly that His Highness didn't even like sweet melons and fruits.
I don't even know who it is for.
Fang Xin was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Could it be that the cook put too much sugar."
Li Qingning frowned and said: "The sugar porridge cooked by the cook is not very thick, and the sweetness of the roasted red beans is too weak."
Fang was hesitant to speak but stopped, thinking that when the fairy was around, the bowl of sugar porridge was made by the cook.
Li Qingning seemed to see what she was thinking, so she said in a cold voice, "She didn't eat much last time."
Fang Xin slowly took a deep breath, thinking, how long has it been since this happened, yet His Highness is still brooding over it.
She pouted her lips, thinking about it and still wanted to ask, so she asked cautiously: "But how does Your Highness know how to make sugar porridge?"
"It's in the book." Li Qingning said expressionlessly.
Standing by the side, Fang Xin always felt that His Highness seemed to have changed his appearance unknowingly, like her but not like her.
Previously, Li Qingning could only keep a cold face, no matter who she spoke to, she always had a cold look, but if she showed her sharp edge, underneath that heartless and ruthless look was a sharp knife.
But now Li Qingning is still indifferent, and there is still a sharp knife hidden in her heart, but there seems to be a corner of softness left.
But it was only left to the man in red.
Li Qingning swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, wiped her lips with a silk handkerchief, and said calmly, "How about it."
Only then did Fangxin say: "There are indeed some strange things in the Tianshitai."
"How weird." Li Qingning asked.
Fangxin frowned and recalled, "There is a certain person's aura everywhere in the Tianshitai. When I got to the viewing platform, the servant called the national teacher a few times, and knocked on the door for a long time. The national teacher answered first, but then there was nothing. No response, no door opened."
She paused for a moment, then said: "The servant probed into the bamboo house again, but the national teacher didn't notice it, this time, the servant only felt that there seemed to be two people's aura inside, but the soul breath was only one person, it is really strange. "
"When I went to the Tianshitai, I didn't expect this breath. After thinking about it for a long time, I had doubts, so I ordered you to find out." Li Qingning paused, and asked with a frown: Did the teacher open the door?"
Fang Xin quickly took out the holding mirror, cupped it with both hands and said: "Later, the servant broke into it and said... His Highness ordered the servant to fetch the mirror, so the national teacher stood up."
Li Qingning took the holding mirror in her hand, raised her hand slightly, and her face appeared in the mirror.
She frowned and put her hands on the mirror.
Wasn't it because of the person who often appeared in the mirror that she had to worry a little more now, fearing that someone would be hiding in the mirror.
After covering the mirror with her hand, Li Qingning didn't notice anything strange, so she was relieved.
She put the mirror on the table and said, "Then what."
Fang Xin said: "Then the national teacher turned around to speak, but his face was covered with a mask, the servants could not see his appearance."
Li Qingning lowered her eyes and pondered, "Tell me, you called several times and knocked on the door, but the national teacher didn't even open the door, and the national teacher didn't notice your aura entering the room?"
"Yes." Fang Xin paused for a moment, and said again: "After the slaves broke into the house, the national teacher came back to his senses."
Li Qingning frowned, and said coldly: "When you entered the room, the national teacher was meditating."
"He was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back facing the door. I don't know if he is meditating." Fang Xin said immediately.
Li Qingning's expression froze, "He's out of his mind, he has no time to be distracted."
Chapter 97
97
The fallen leaves on the trees outside the house were still falling one after another, and when the cold wind blew, several pieces swayed and fell to the ground.
"Out of the soul?" Fang Xin was stunned for a moment, "Why did the national teacher have out of the soul?"
Li Qingning's face was very cold, "That's exactly what I'm worried about."
Fang Xin was startled when she heard the words, after realizing that His Highness suddenly changed his name, Xin Dao must be very upset at the moment, and it seems that there are not many people who can make her so flustered.
Li Qingning pursed her lips loosely, her long eyebrows were furrowed tightly, but what was in her eyes was not sorrow, but fierceness.
As if a storm was about to come, she lowered her eyebrows and sat upright on the stool, obviously not saying a word, but people dare not offend, lest they touch her scales.
Fang Xin shut her mouth tightly immediately, unable to guess Li Qingning's thoughts for a moment.
When had she ever seen such an expression on Li Qingning's face? Before, even if Li Qingning got angry again, she only had a cold face, and her eyes were cold and sharp, as if they were heartless, but now...
Now Li Qingning's complexion is not only cold, but more like showing sharp edges, with sharpened ice edges all over her body.
Li Qingning thought for a long time, where would the national teacher's soul go.
The only thing she was worried about was that the national teacher had gone in the direction of Weifeng Island.
Fortunately, she ordered Fangxin to go to the Tianshitai to find out what happened, which disturbed the national teacher and had to return to her soul.It's a pity that the soul can come out again after returning to the soul, and I'm afraid that the national teacher will look for it again.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Xianyu, it's just that she really doesn't know the details of the national teacher.
After sitting still for a long time with her lips pursed, Li Qingning's eyes finally moved.
Fang Xin quickly bent down, waiting for Li Qingning to speak.
But Li Qingning just said: "Don't be nervous, tomorrow..."
She paused and said after a long time: "Forget it, you go out first."
Fang Xin responded, and looked back worriedly before going out, sighed and quickly closed the door.
Inside the house, Li Qingning couldn't see the pens, inks, papers and inkstones left and right, and she really didn't want to order someone to fetch them again, so she simply raised her hand, and the crumbling dead leaves outside the house floated into the house through the propped up window lattice.
When the wind blew, the dead leaf just fell into Li Qingning's hands.
Li Qingning lowered her head, brushed her fingertips across the fallen leaf, and a line of words appeared on the leaf.
The words were not written in ink, but seemed to be made of light. It took only a moment for the light to dim again, and the words on the dead leaves disappeared.
The dead leaf burned out in her palm, and appeared in another place.
But it didn't appear in the cave where Xianyu was hiding, but on Weifeng Island.
Qi Ming was still mourning the spring and autumn in the room, when he suddenly heard rustling sounds, followed the sound, and saw a dead leaf stuck in the crack of the door.
He raised his hand to drive the spiritual energy to open the door. The moment the door opened, there was a sudden sound of wind, and the dead leaves were blown into the room.
Qi Ming stretched out his hand to pinch the fallen leaf, and used the previous method to see the words hidden in the dead leaf.
Only then did I learn that Li Qingning wanted to ask him: "Where are the fragments, where is the jade plaque?"
Li Qingning was waiting in Yangning Palace, and soon saw Qi Mingran's paper crane.
But what was written on the paper crane was that Xian Yu had taken away the fragmented scroll, and the jade plaque had also returned to its owner.
Li Qingning closed her eyes, and the breath she let out just now came to her throat again. It's fine if the fragments of the scroll were taken away, but if even the jade plaque was taken away, she would have no way of knowing whether the person is safe or not now .
After a long time, she burned another dead leaf for Qi Ming, but this time she didn't ask any questions, but asked Qi Ming to do the math for Xian Yu.
Although Qi Mingbu is not as good as the national teacher, Guan Xing is the best.
It’s just that stargazing is different from divination. You can do divination anytime and anywhere, but stargazing requires the right time, place and people, and both are indispensable.
After Li Qingning shook off the ashes in her hands, she dipped her hands into the copper basin and washed them carefully.
While rubbing her fingers, she looked out of the window, the sky was not yet clear, and it was still gloomy.
The team that went to Wuli Town with Li Wuyin to help the disaster only sent back the news today.
In Yuanzheng Hall, Li Zaiyu leaned his head back on the chair, his eyes were already red.He pursed his lips into a line, but didn't say a word.
A group of people knelt in the hall, put their heads on the floor, and kept silent.
The entire hall was dead silent, and even the bright fire on the lampstand did not bring any warmth.
Cold, cold and solemn.
The people kneeling in the hall expected that Li Zaiyu would be furious, but he pursed his lips and kept his fingers tightly wrapped around the armrest of the seat. The dragon head on the left and the tiger head on the right were covered under those fingers.
Those individuals all lowered their heads, so naturally they couldn't see a single tear on Li Zaiyu's face.
Li Zaiyu's eyes were very red, and his pupils were moist, but he didn't shed a single tear.
He raised his head, seemed to be thinking, and also seemed to regain his senses, his eyes were already empty.
The people in the temple didn't even dare to open their mouths to breathe. Their whole bodies were icy cold, and their ten fingers on the ground turned white from the force they exerted.
It took a long time for Li Zaiyu's eyeballs to move. He coughed violently until his eyes turned white and his complexion turned pale. When his breath calmed down, he turned his head to look at the eunuch who was persistently whisking the dust.
The eunuch had a bitter look on his face, seeing Li Zaiyu looking at him, he took a few steps closer.
Li Zaiyu coughed a few more times, only to feel dizzy, and wondered if it was because of his drug addiction last night.
His eyes were in a daze, as if he couldn't see again, his eyes seemed to be covered with fog.
Fearing that the drug addiction would break out again, Li Zaiyu's breath suddenly became rapid, his heart was beating wildly and restlessly, he breathed unsteadily and said: "Tell the eldest princess to come here."
As soon as the words finished, Li Zaiyu closed his eyes, and after calming down his breath, he said again slowly: "As the aunt of the emperor, the eldest princess should let her know."
The people kneeling in the hall dare not say more, especially the adult who had a dispute with Li Wuyin on the narrow path in the mountain, even more dare not say more.
After the eunuch went to deliver the message, Li Zaiyu said slowly: "How many people are going to Wuli Town now?"
"One hundred and twenty." said the adult kneeling on the ground.
Li Zaiyu pondered for a while, "Who is the leader?"
"Return to Your Majesty, the county magistrate and governor of Tong County." The man responded quickly.
Li Zaiyu nodded slightly, and when he opened his closed eyes, he seemed to have no strength to speak, "How did you bring him back, I heard...that cloud cliff is hundreds of feet deep."
"We searched for a way down the cliff that we hadn't seen for a day, so we had to tie a hemp rope around our waists, and climbed down the cliff slowly, and then near the bottom of the cliff..."
The man paused for a moment, and then said: "I saw the Second Highness being held up by a tree branch, and His Highness's abdomen was also..."
"It was also pierced by a tree branch, and blood gushed out." The speaker choked for a moment, his low back trembled, and said again: "When we rescued His Highness, His Highness was already out of breath."
Li Zaiyu didn't speak, but after hearing these words, he really felt that Li Wuyin was indeed dead.
Falling off a hundred-foot-high cliff, being pierced by a tree branch, almost bleeding out, even a saint might not be able to survive.
He was suddenly a little dazed, this son was well-behaved and obedient when he was young, and he was the smartest among several princes, but now, this son died because of his one word.
But what should I do?
Li Zaiyu couldn't figure it out for a while, his eyes were very empty, and his eyes became more blurred, his face wet in a trance, and the scene in front of him seemed to be a little clearer.
Only then did he realize that the reason why his eyes were blurred just now was not because of drug addiction again, but because his eyes were moist.
The reason why my whole body is weak and my heart is beating wildly is because I feel lost and have mixed feelings.
He raised his jaw again, closed his eyes tightly, and took a slow breath.
Li Wuyin should, should, if this son does not die, he must die.
The eunuch who sent the message arrived at Yangning Palace, and the eunuch came many times, as soon as Fangxin saw him, she knew that the emperor wanted to see her highness.
Her eyes darkened, and she could see that the eunuch was in a hurry, which showed that His Majesty must have something important to discuss.
Fang Xin walked to the door and said in a low voice, "I don't know that my lord wants to see His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
The chief eunuch sighed, and said hastily, "Your Majesty, Princess Xuan, see you."
Fang Xin said that this was indeed the case, and after answering, she quickly turned around and walked towards Li Qingning's dormitory.She knocked on the door but there was no response, she called out a few more words in a low voice, "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
"Come in." The person in the room said.
Li Qingning sat on the edge of the bed, her face seemed to have no flaws, but her kneecaps turned towards the small cabinet beside the bed.
Fangxin naturally didn't know what was in that cabinet now, but she remembered that she had put a cold chain in it earlier.
The last time I saw it, the cold chain was wrapping around Li Qingning's body, and Li Qingning was sitting in front of the mirror.
Fang Xin was very anxious just now, but after realizing that she seemed to see through something again, half of her leg was still outside the threshold, and she couldn't step into the house no matter what.
She took a deep breath, her eyes flicked back and forth between the small wooden cabinet and Li Qingning's fingertips.
Li Qingning was indifferent as usual, her hands were on her lap, she was sitting upright, but unfortunately her eyes trembled slightly.
Fang Xin lowered her head to look at Li Qingning's legs again, and after a closer look, she realized that the small wooden cabinet was not closed properly, and a corner of black fabric was exposed beside the door.
Fangxin might not be able to figure out what was exposed for a while, but Li Qingning was very clear.
It was the rag she threw into the deep part of the wooden cabinet, and it was torn from her clothes by Xian Yu.
Seeing Fangxin's eyes dodging, Li Qingning didn't know what she thought of, and said slowly: "Forget it, you turn around first."
Fangxin was surprised when she heard the words, and told her to turn around for some reason.One of her legs was still inside the threshold and the other was outside, and she didn't know whether to enter or go out.
After a while, Li Qing said in a cold voice: "Still turning?"
"Young maidservant, turn now." Fang Xin responded, and quickly turned back, looking at the anxious eunuch in the yard.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, but saw that Fang Xin turned around and stood outside the door without moving, and the door was mostly blocked, so he couldn't see what the people in the room were doing.
Li Qingning didn't do anything, although she wanted to do something.
Before Fangxin knocked on the door, she hesitated for a long time, her heart itched badly, but she didn't want to let herself do such absurd things, her heart seemed to be emptied by desire, and she really wanted to use something to empty her empty heart make up.
When he didn't hear from that person, he thought about it even more, and felt that the gap in his heart was even bigger.
But she is not a person who is ignorant of modesty. When she was tormented with a headache, she gave in a little and allowed herself to take out the shredded clothes in the wooden cabinet.
After taking it out, she couldn't help thinking of how Xian Yu tore off the cloth.
When Xian Yu was trembling and her eyes were red, she tightened her fingers and tore it off with a swipe.
Li Qingning just wanted to look at the rag, but after holding it in his hand, his mood became even more confused.
She sat on the couch with a cold face and did not move. She wrinkled the rag in her hand, and suddenly heard Fang Xin and others talking outside the room.
Fortunately, this prevented her from continuing to be absurd.
Li Qingning's face was frosty and cold, and she couldn't help but feel that she couldn't go on like this, so she opened the wooden cabinet and threw the rag in her hand.
She closed the door of the cupboard and let Fang Xin in. She was so upset that she didn't realize that a corner of the rag was exposed.
Therefore, as soon as Fangxin opened the door, she saw that scene.
After being ordered to turn around, Fang Xin stood outside the door and thought for a long time, only then did she realize that the corner of the fabric exposed in the wooden cabinet was somewhat familiar, and on second thought, wasn't that the material of His Highness's clothes.
But after confirming that the thing was clothing material, she couldn't help being more at a loss, and she didn't know what her highness was doing with the clothes in it.
In the room, Li Qingning bent down to open the wooden cabinet, put the rag away, and then closed the cabinet door again.
She straightened her skirt before walking out the door, and said coldly: "What's the matter, we can talk about it now."
Only then did Fang Xin turn around, and said in a dazed voice, "It's His Majesty's announcement."
After Fangxin took a few steps back, Li Qingning saw the people standing in the yard, and she naturally saw the strange expression on the eunuch's face, so she hurriedly said, "Let's go."
On the way, Li Qingning looked sideways at the eunuch who was following him, only to see that he looked lost, as if a little worried.
She didn't ask any questions, and after arriving at the Yuanzheng Hall, she walked straight into the hall, and saw several people kneeling on the ground when she entered the door.
Although she didn't recognize those people, they looked like they had been through some storm, and their clothes were a little ragged.
Li Zaiyu sat on it, supported his forehead and said, "The disaster relief army has reported back."
Li Qingning understood, this time it was roughly confirmed that Li Wuyin was gone.
She lowered her eyes, but still asked: "I don't know how the emperor's nephew is."
"Zhao Qing carried it back." Li Zaiyu raised his hand and pointed to one of the people kneeling on the ground.
"Where is the imperial nephew now?" Li Qingning asked again slowly.
Li Zaiyu was silent for a long time before he said: "In Xingqing Palace..."
After a pause, he continued, "Stop."
And in a cave in a certain corner of the coast, the face of the person sitting cross-legged in the magic circle was already as pale as onyx.
His face is white, his hair is as black as five stones of lacquer smoke, but his clothes are red, red and bright.
In the light and darkness, the person sitting cross-legged on the ground seemed charming, especially the blood on her lips was congealed, as if she had just eaten someone.
The mountain is still dark, the birds that have fluttered their wings have not yet returned, and the sky is still covered with thick clouds.
Xian Yu sat cross-legged and meditated. Although she had no time to care about things other than herself, she clearly felt that not long ago a strong aura had touched the magic circle she had set up.
The powerful aura shattered the stone at the entrance of the cave, and attacked the magic circle like a poisonous snake preying on it.
Naturally, Bai Tu also noticed it. After all, the movement caused by the spiritual energy was not small, but he found that the spiritual energy dissipated suddenly, as if it was withdrawn as soon as it was shaken out.
He moved his ears slightly, and when he heard the low moan escaping from Xian Yu's lips, his heart sank a little.
With only a few words left, Xian Yu recited all the engravings on the bamboo tablet without missing a word.
Bai Tu didn't dare to be distracted, and stared outside the cave for a long time, but the aura that came from nowhere didn't strike again.
Chapter 98
98
Bai Tu had nowhere to know where the aura had gone, so he could only watch out of the cave with his ears up.
Behind him, Xian Yu's bones creaked, as if they were about to be crushed.
She was almost unable to sit still, the hand on her knee went limp, and the back of her hand slipped off her knee, and she had to support herself on the gravel-strewn ground.
Her palm was pierced by a few sharp stones, but she didn't feel any pain at all, no matter how painful it was, it didn't hurt like the meridian and spiritual sea seemed to be burst.
She bit her lower lip, swallowed a mouthful of blood as soon as it hit her throat, and her mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
The whole body of the spiritual baby in the spiritual sea was pierced, as if it had become a target, and the light pierced through it like a sharp arrow, but the arrow did not hit from the outside, but pierced from the spiritual baby .
The spiritual energy in the entire spiritual sea was surging, really like the rising waves of the sea, and her spiritual sea was clearly a reef, being hit by this spiritual energy.
With a movement of Xian Yu Subai's neck, he swallowed the blood that welled up his throat, and the hand that was on the ground could hardly hold it anymore, shaking like a sieve.
As if she was going to die, it hurt her to death.
But she couldn't stop, if she stopped, she would have to enter the magic barrier, then she would be really disrespectful and bloodthirsty.
Li Qingning was worried that she would become like that, so she refused to hand over the fragmented scroll to her for a long time. If she really lost her mind, how could she feel sorry for Li Qingning for giving her the fragmented scroll.
She must return safely to the capital.
Xian Yu clenched his lower lip, loosened his white teeth, and read out the last few people.
Inside the magic circle, the last wisp of white smoke floated out of the rolled bamboo tablet, and the smoke disappeared in mid-air in an instant.
Bai Tu's bloodshot eyes widened immediately, he turned around and looked at the person sitting cross-legged behind him, only to see that Xian Yu had bitten his lower lip until it was dripping with blood, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
He paced to the side of the bamboo tablet, and opened the rolled bamboo tablet with his nose.
Being hit like this, the bamboo tablet immediately rolled a few inches, and slowly unfolded a little on the ground.
Although the bamboo tablet was only opened a little bit, Bai Tu could see it clearly, all the characters on the bamboo tablet had disappeared, and the bamboo tablet was empty, and the vast aura could no longer be felt.
The aura turned into smoke and floated into the air, but it didn't just disappear, but went to Xianyu's spiritual sea.
The spiritual energy hidden in the scroll when he was engraving, was absorbed by Xian Yu with the exercises into his heart.
Bai Tu crouched down again, but this time he didn't look out of the cave, but at Xianyu.
Xian Yu only felt the pain, the pain was so painful that she just wanted to scratch her heart and lungs, every inch of her muscle was hurting, every inch of her bone was hurting, her spirit sea was also hurting, and so was the spirit baby in the spirit sea.
Although she has been absorbing souls to make up for the immortal tendons and the spiritual sea, her body is still extremely fragile. In a trance, she felt that she might not be able to survive this calamity.
But she hasn't returned to the capital to see Li Qingning yet, she hasn't laid her head on Li Qingning's lap to blow the pillow breeze, and she hasn't told Li Qingning in detail how she never forgot him when she saw him in her previous life.
She hasn't said yet, why she wanted to occupy Li Qingning's calm heart at that time, and how she approached her step by step, so that Li Qingning had to be absurd with her.
There are still so many things that have not been done, and she is really not reconciled to seeing Li Qingning take that position.
How can she be reconciled, isn't she reincarnated for these reasons, but now she has only done a few things.
She can't go, she is not reconciled.
Xian Yu's closed eyes trembled slightly, and he quickly moved the exercises according to the second half of the scroll.
If the bones are going to break, then let it break, if the Linghaixian tendons are going to swell, then let it burst.
As long as this life is still there, at worst it will take some time to repair it.
Thunder rumbled outside the cave, but Yunchuan's switch did not fall.
The sound was deafening, even if Xian Yu's ears were ringing, she could still hear it clearly.
Know what is about to be split from the cloud.
She should be afraid, but so what if she is afraid, is it possible that if she is afraid of the electric shock, she will not fall.
Bai Tu, who was squatting on the ground, breathed out fiercely, and another magic circle rose up around the ground, protecting him and Xian Yu under it.
Xian Yu's hands on the ground kept shaking, his body leaned forward, and his back also bent down.
She was so painful that she had to lower her head, her black hair was scattered on the side of her face, making it difficult for people to see her face clearly.
Rocks fell outside the entrance of the cave, Xian Yu had no time to be distracted, but Bai Tu hung up his whole heart, turned around suddenly and looked out of the cave.
I saw a gust of spiritual energy coming in like a gust of wind, knocking several magic circles into white light splashes, and several cracks faintly appeared on the magic circles, and the magic circles would be completely broken with just one blow.
Bai Tu hastily added another layer of magic circle, but he didn't dare to step away from Xian Yu, fearing that this was some cunning person's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
He stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and when another wave of spiritual energy struck, his eyes narrowed slightly.
At that moment, the air around him seemed to freeze, and an invisible force shook the spirit back.
The repelled spiritual energy hit the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and there was a loud bang, and gravel and powder were scattered in all directions.
Gray smoke shrouded the entrance of the cave, and what spread like a thick fog was dust blown by the wind.
Faintly, a tall and thin figure appeared in the thick smoke. The man was dressed in a long robe, and his face...
Bai Tu narrowed his eyes, and when the man came out of the thick fog and got closer, he finally saw clearly that the man's face was covered by a mask.
For some reason, he felt that this person looked a little familiar.
The eyes of the robed man behind the mask slowly turned, as cold and vicious as a snake, but he didn't look at Bai Tu, but looked at the man in red sitting cross-legged.
Xian Yu was still suffering from pain. She sensed the arrival of another breath, but she couldn't open her eyes yet, because it was just that close...
The man in the robe paused, looked at the man in red in the circle, his pupils shrank slightly, and said in a slightly deep voice, "Who are you?"
The rabbit lying on the ground did not move, and an old voice came from the abdomen, also saying: "Who are you?"
Hearing the sound, the robed man lowered his eyes and looked down at the rabbits in the formation.
His eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it, and the hand that was tucked in the cuff suddenly lifted, and the cold aura gathered in the palm.
Xian Yu only felt that someone was talking, but she couldn't hear clearly. Her ears were buzzing, and the spirit baby in the spirit sea was almost unable to hold on.
The feeling of being penetrated and torn was transmitted from the spirit baby to her body.
It hurts, it hurts so much that it seems to be torn apart by five horses.
Perhaps more than five horses torn corpses, it seems to be smashed to pieces.
She opened her mouth and gasped violently, but felt that her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't breathe, nor could she swallow.
But not reconciled, how could she be reconciled.
The moment the spirit baby was shattered, her spiritual sea seemed to be burned by scorching flames, and all the bones in her body seemed to be broken, and her muscles and bones couldn't even use any strength.
She swayed and fell to the ground trembling all over, but the moment she fell, she suddenly opened her eyes.
His eyes were red, and his pupils seemed to be stained with blood.
The hostility suddenly appeared in those eyes, like a violent evil spirit.
Xian Yu saw the robed man in the distance clearly, endured the pain all over his body, and raised his hand to use his spiritual energy to tear off the man's mask.
She opened her mouth slightly to exhale, blood was also stained between her teeth, she really looked like a murderous ghost.
"Are you... Dongzhou Guoshi." Xian Yu gritted his teeth and asked.
She really wanted to know if the face of the person in the distance had been burned, or if they were the national teachers who had never shown their true colors.
Suddenly, the thunder outside the cave rang again, more dull than before, more like it was going to tear the sky apart.
The man in the robe stared straight at his eyes, and raised his hand to block the spiritual energy from Xian Yu. He heard the rumble of thunder outside the cave, and wanted to take a step back, but unexpectedly, his hands and feet were trapped by three chains of cold, and he was also trapped by Choked by the throat.
The cold chain is not a cold chain, it is actually formed by gathering aura, and this aura comes from Bai Tu's hands.
Xian Yu wanted to take off the mask on the man's face again, but he didn't know that the mask seemed to be on the man's face, and he couldn't pull it off.
The rumbling thunder sounded again, and the red switch suddenly fell and hit the tree outside the cave, causing the tree to burst into flames, with thick smoke billowing from the fire.
"Concentrate!" Bai Tu said in a deep voice.
Xian Yu struggled to straighten her body, and put her trembling hands on her knees, but she was unable to straighten her back, and just sitting up, she seemed to be on the verge of falling, and wanted to fall over again.
In an instant, like a landslide and an earth crack, a light poured down from the top, but it didn't suddenly turn on the lamp...
Instead, the cave was split open, and the red thunder fell rapidly.
It seems that a huge surge is coming, and every corner in this cave is inevitable.
Before the dazzling red thunder fell, the magic circle covering the heads of Xian Yu and Bai Tu had already shattered like brittle porcelain.
Xian Yu hurriedly harnessed the spiritual energy, trying to resist the thunderstorm that was about to hit the top, but unfortunately she couldn't use all the spiritual energy in her body, because Linghai was in great pain.
Hateful, I hate how this body is so weak.
This is how she is willing.
The robed man trapped in the distance tried to return to his soul. His thin strands of soul clearly came from the soul.
Xian Yu clenched her teeth, squinted her eyes slightly, and suddenly took out the soul-gathering lamp.
What she wants to gather is not the soul of the dead in the mountain, but the soul of the man in the robe.
The robed man seemed to recognize the lamp, and when he saw Xian Yu holding the lamp in his hands, he suddenly widened his eyes, and his eyes under the mask were as red as white-painted pupils.
Xian Yu struggled to twitch the corners of his lips, and slowly smiled. He was obviously very embarrassed, but he seemed to handle it very well.
Bai Tu at the side was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Xian Yu was thinking.
I saw the red thunder falling, but the thunder that seemed to destroy the world did not land on Xian Yu's head, but struck the green lamp that Xian Yu raised above his head. The fire was burning slowly.
In the black flames, there was a faint figure struggling, it was clearly the robed man bound by cold chains.
In an instant, there was a loud bang from the lightning strike, and thick smoke rose up all around. The red thunder snaked around like branches, and the cave was scorched black.
There was a buzzing in Xian Yu's ears, as if she couldn't hear the sound for a long time, she bent down, her hand holding the lamp was still held high, but she protected Bai Tu under her body.
The blue-black flame in the lamp disappeared together with the red thunder, and the figure in the flame naturally also disappeared.
There was silence for a long time in the cave that was split open. Afterwards, the lamp body crackled and shattered into several fragments of different sizes.
Xian Yu finally lost his strength, his hands suddenly dropped, and he lay on the ground on his side.She looked out of the cave that was split open, watching the black clouds on the sky suddenly dissipate for a moment.
She was stunned for a moment, her mouth was still slightly open, she just felt that it was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.
After a long time, she moved her lips and said, "I hope you will forgive me for ruining your lamp."
Bai Tu didn't think about the lamp, and asked quickly: "But the situation has been broken?"
Xian Yu pursed her lips and said nothing, her spiritual baby seemed to be ruined, and now the spiritual sea was in chaos, and her whole body ached like bones and tendons were broken.
"How?" Bai Tu asked again.
Xian Yu turned sideways, turned his back to Bai Tu and slowly curled up on the ground, his black hair messily scattered on the ground.
It was gone when he saw the robed man just now. He was curled up like a discarded swaddle, and his breath was very weak, as if he had only one breath left.
Bai Tu originally wanted to use his spiritual energy to explore her spiritual sea, but just as he was about to use his spiritual energy, he suddenly heard the person whose back was turned to him speak.
Xian Yu said, "Your Highness has been waiting for me for a long time."
Far away in the capital.
There was no pity in Li Qingning's eyes, but she lowered her head slightly so that people could not see her eyes clearly.
She said slowly: "This trip is inherently dangerous, and I hope that the emperor will take good care of the dragon body. The emperor's nephew has always been filial and sensible, and I definitely don't want to see the emperor be so heartbroken."
Chapter 99

In the main hall, Li Zaiyu coughed a few times, and when he raised his arm, he stopped Li Qingning's words.
Li Qingning lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and did not continue to speak.
After a long time, Li Zaiyu stopped coughing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Forget it, let me be quiet, and you all step back first."
The people kneeling at the bottom got up and cupped their hands one after another, bowed their heads and retreated.
Li Qingning was about to turn around, but she heard Li Zaiyu say: "Princess, please stay."
She paused, and saw that the light on the ground from outside the door slowly narrowed, and finally the door closed.
"I don't know what the emperor's order is." Li Qingning said calmly.
Li Zaiyu supported his forehead and sighed slowly, his complexion extremely complex, he said after a long time: "Concubine Qing is making a fuss in Xingqing Palace now, asking everyone in her company to pay for Wuji's life, the reason is that they didn't take good care of the prince."
Li Qingning said: "The second emperor's nephew was born to Concubine Qing, and she watched her grow up. Seeing that Wuji was about to reach the crown, but such things happened. It is natural for Concubine Qing to be so sad and angry."
"Why don't I feel sad." Li Zaiyu said slowly.
Hearing this, Li Qingning lifted her chin and glanced at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.
She could see that although Li Zaiyu was sad, he was relieved.
Li Zaiyu paused for a long time, and then said: "But the affairs of the family and the country are important. Even if I am heartbroken, I still have to hide this sadness in my heart."
Li Qingning lowered her head again, swaying her hair slightly, she said calmly: "Wu Yin must have suffered a lot on the way back, I don't know what the emperor's brother has planned."
"Wu Yin's trip was due to the aid of the disaster. I am deeply saddened." Li Zaiyu said in a deep voice, and coughed a few times after he finished speaking, as if he was about to die.
Looking at his complexion, Li Qingning thought that maybe it was because of a drug addiction attack, Li Zaiyu's complexion became paler, his lips darkened a little, his eyes were cloudy and red, as if he was seriously ill.
Perhaps Li Zaiyu's time is really numbered.
