All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

"Yes." Shaohua nodded in confirmation: "The soul of the princess back then was driven away by that Yin jade."

Shen Lingxi narrowed her eyes slightly.

If Xiang Zhou wants to take Chu Yan's body, he will definitely use the power of Mingyin jade.

But, where is he hiding this dark yin jade?

Now that I know the efficacy of the Ming Yang Jade, it is very easy to deal with Tai Shu Mei.

But when dealing with Xiang Zhou, he can't act rashly.

Xiang Zhou was clearly dead when the previous dynasty destroyed the country, yet he was able to resurrect with another body.

He is clearly a member of the former dynasty, but he knows the proverbs passed down by the saintess and the inheritance.

He is burdened with evil methods, and he walks every step of the way, so he should not be underestimated.

If he is a little careless, if he is resurrected in a different shell and uses the dark yin jade to make trouble, it will be impossible to guard against.

Shen Lingxi pondered for a few breaths, and she was already thinking about it.

She walked to the desk, offered the pen and paper to Shaohua, and said to Shaohua, "Can Auntie draw me the appearance of Mingyin Jade?"

Shaohua nodded.

She served Queen Zanxi since she was a child, so her painting skills were naturally outstanding, and she drew Yu Jue with just a few strokes. "

Shen Lingxi copied it on paper, and told her softly to hide it in this bookstore so that Xiang Zhou would not find it.

Then he turned around with the piece of paper and walked towards Chu Yan.

"Please ask your highness to help me check someone, and by the way, please invite another person to come to Yunjiang as fast as possible..."

At the same time, in the Consonance Palace.

Tai Shumei was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and finally remembered what the familiar smell was that she smelled in the carriage today.

She sat up abruptly, and said nervously to Xiang Zhou floating by the window: "I remembered, the smell on the little blind man today... that smell was from Yun Xi's corpse. I possessed this body From now on, the whole coffin will be full of this smell... How can there be a dead body smell on a living person?"

"Did she...have contact with Yunxi's body?"

With Tai Shumei's mind, she could only think of this level.

But Xiang Zhou has already seen through the mystery.

"So that's how it is." He said with a gloomy expression, "No wonder I always feel that something is wrong when I see that little blind man walking with the prince."

"What do you mean?" Tai Shumei asked in bewilderment.

Afraid of scaring her, Xiang Zhou hesitated for a while before slowly saying: "If I'm right, the little blind man is Yunxi's corpse, her soul was not sucked into the jade pendant that day, but hid in the jade pendant. into Yunxi's corpse."

Taishu Mei opened her eyes wide in shock, "Then we can't catch her anymore?"

"What does she want to do?" The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She put on her embroidered shoes and put on the bed, and made a gesture to go out: "She will stay in the Shenming Palace tonight, with the prince, and they cannot be left alone. No! I have to find out her, lock her up."

"What are you using to expose her?" Xiang Zhou floated in front of her, "Don't forget, you just used your identity as a saint to dispel the anger of the people during the day, if you expose her again in public, you will be seen again What good is your true appearance to you?"

Uncle Mei stopped in her tracks, and said viciously: "Even if she holds Yun Xi's face in her face, she is still a mummy. A ghost who cheats a corpse, everyone can punish her. Da Zhou will never tolerate her and treat her like a witch Calcined with raging fire, crushing her body into ashes, she can no longer possess those ashes, right?"

"The people in Yunjiang will not allow you to do this." Xiang Zhou looked at her, and analyzed with her in a gentle voice, "She is a saint, even if she is a ghost who cheats corpses, in the eyes of those ignorant people, she is the closest thing to a god. People close to her. If the people know that she can be resurrected, they will only worship and respect her, and will never allow Da Zhou to crush her to ashes."

He paused, "What's more, the prince will not allow you to do this. He brought Yunxi back to the Shenming Palace, which means that he also knows her true identity. Don't forget, the two of them are the real husband and wife. "

"Then what should we do?" Taishu Mei anxiously walked back and forth in the dormitory, "We can't just let them stay together like this? That little girl pretends to be so similar, she must have a lot of ghost ideas, and they are planning how to get rid of this body." Take it back, if they know how to deal with me, then my life will not last long?"

Xiang Zhou's expression was very calm.

"I know that girl's temperament very well. Four days have passed, and she hasn't done anything. She must be afraid of me and looking for my flaws if she wants to act like this."

"That's fine. Originally, I wanted to wait for Chu Yan to leave Yunjiang before doing it quietly. Now that they know your true identity, it might be better to do it in Yunbian City."

Taishu Mei saw that he looked calm and relaxed, and her nervous heart gradually calmed down, "What should I do?"

"You don't need to do anything special, just pretend you don't know anything, just hang out with them for a while, and I will..."

Xiang Zhou's gaze, looking around warily, finally clung to her ear, and explained a few words in an inaudible voice...

Because of the performance of the "Princess Concubine" on the holy mountain, the people of Yunbian City showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the "Princess Concubine".

For several days in a row, in front of the gate of the Yunjiang Palace, the people who came to pay their respects surrounded the long streets and alleys around the palace.

Xiang Zhou's dead soul disappeared overnight.

But Tai Shumei was as usual, showing nothing unusual on her face.

She went to the Shenming Palace to sit for half an hour every day, trying her best to win Chu Yan's attention.

It's not about pretending to overturn the tea, wet the clothes, and change clothes through the screen.

It's just rolling up sleeves, twisting waist, scratching one's head and making a pose.

He tried his best to let Chu Yan feel the completely different "style" between himself and Shen Lingxi without getting close to Chu Yan.

Before Shen Lingxi knew that this body was her own, she only thought of herself as a dead soul living in this body. For such a scene, she would only feel that it was against the law.

But now, since she already knew that this body belonged to her, seeing this kind of scene, she was so embarrassed that she was digging her toes, wishing to immediately throw Tai Shumei out of her body.

Chu Yan always turned his face sideways with "Do not look at evil".

Just inadvertently, the line of sight meets Shen Lingxi——

The scene will change from the embarrassment of Shen Lingxi alone to the... shame of two people.

Shen Lingxi is just a corpse now, but nothing can be seen.

But Chu Yan is a big living person.

His auricles were stained crimson as far as the naked eye could see.

If Tai Shumei didn't know about the relationship between the two, and seeing Chu Yan, who had always been cold and distant, turned into this appearance, she might still think that her "seduction" had worked.

But now, when I saw the two of them meeting their eyes, they pulled like no one else.

Tai Shumei only felt that all her hard work had become a part of the entanglement in the eyes of the two of them.

She is so angry!
In order to vent her anger, Tai Shumei pretended to be ignorant, deliberately sarcasm to the "little blind man" Shen Lingxi, and also deliberately looked at Chu Yan's reaction.

Seeing Chu Yan's eyes darkened, he looked like he wanted to anger her, but had to suppress his anger.

Taishu Meiyuan thought she could relieve her anger, but when she saw Chu Yan defending the "little blind man" with her own eyes, she felt very uncomfortable.

How could such a handsome and affectionate man fall in love with such an incomprehensible stick?
She was even more angry.

Time is passing quietly between Taishu Mei's qi and more qi...

Whether it is a person or a ghost, no one has discovered——

One late night, in the dilapidated alley where the poor lived in Yunbian City, a dying man covered with abscesses silently died.

However, within the time of a cup of tea, he suddenly opened his eyes again.

Panting with difficulty, he sat up from the dirty quilt, leaned against the wall, groped around the wall, and finally found a loose wall brick.

Pull out the wall tile, there is a mechanism inside, and press down gently.

There was only a "click", and a secret door slowly opened in the corner of the room.

He pushed the bricks back into the wall, walked stiffly, walked into the hidden door, found a fire pocket from the corner of the door, and lit it.

Pressing the mechanism inside the door again, the secret door closed silently behind him. He lit an oil lamp and walked along the stone steps to the depths of the secret passage.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at a secret room.

The secret room was filled with an old but simple medicinal fragrance, and the shelves on the entire wall were filled with all kinds of porcelain vases.

The medicinal fragrance emanates faintly from those porcelain vases.

He skillfully took the leftmost porcelain bottle in the third row, poured out the pills inside, and swallowed them all in one go.

But half an hour later, my body, which was covered in abscesses and out of breath, became more energetic.

He walked to the desk against the wall, opened the dowry, took out a human skin mask, and put it on for himself.

Then, he took off the tattered clothes on his body, put on the neatly folded robes on the table, and finally put on a dark blue cloak for himself.

The messy hair was also combed with the mane that had been prepared on the table, and it was neatly combed.

After finishing all this, he looked at himself in the bronze mirror with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Perhaps the effect of the elixir is really mysterious.

When he stood up again, his footsteps were no longer as stiff as before, but instead became vigorous.

He did not go back the same way, but groped for a new mechanism, opened another door of the secret room, and walked towards a deeper secret passage.

The secret passage was winding and winding, and in some places, it even collapsed, and there was still a stench faintly oozing.

It is enough to see that the construction time of this secret passage has been very long.

This time, he walked for more than half an hour and finally reached the end of the secret path.

"click..."

He pressed the mechanism on the wall, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The first sight is a wide ancestral hall with densely packed spiritual seats on all sides. Rows of oil lamps on the incense table make the ancestral hall as bright as day.

In a corner of the ancestral hall, on the thick floor, the night watchman, who had fallen asleep, opened his eyes in a daze when he heard the movement.

When he saw the face of the person coming, his face was instantly filled with surprise.

The night watchman hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowed to the man and said, "Master Commander, you are finally back. The Patriarch has been waiting for you for many years, please wait here for a while, the villain will go and inform the Patriarch, I will personally welcome you..."

A month passed in a flash.

The entire Yunjiang Palace, except Taishu Mei, was calm and rescued, like a windless and rainless lake, without the slightest ripple.

During this period, Kui Nineteen came back in a hurry, and then left quickly.

This time, Chu Yan, the prince of the Great Zhou, came to Yunjiang in person to attend the canonization ceremony of Yun Wang, the new king of Yunjiang.

Perhaps it was because of the performance of the "Princess Concubine" in the holy mountain that the common people loved their homes and blacks, and they changed their views on Yun Wang.

Or maybe Xiao Rui had suffered a lot on the holy mountain and learned a lesson, so he didn't dare to do anything wrong again.

There are no more weird rumors circulating in Yunbian City.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns and festoons, a scene of joy and peace, and everyone is looking forward to the canonization ceremony.

Under the deduction of the priests, the canonization ceremony was held at noon on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

That day, the weather was extremely cold, and just after the hour of the hour, it began to snow heavily.

Even in such a bad weather, the enthusiasm of the people in Yunbian City for the canonization ceremony did not diminish in the slightest.

The grand ceremony was held in the Yunjiang Prince's Ancestral Temple.

The ancestral temple is located on the central axis of the entire palace, which divides the palace into two. On the left is the place and residence where the king of Yunjiang handles government affairs, and the palace on the right has become a residence only for relatives of the Zhou emperor when they come to Yunjiang.

The canonization ceremony was grand and solemn in the heavy snow.

The gate of the mansion was wide open, and red silk was spread from the gate of the mansion to the top of the steps of the temple.

The mighty and solemn black armored guards stand on both sides.

The dignitaries and common people knelt on both sides of the road, listening to Chu Yan, as the prince of the Great Zhou, representing the royal family of the Great Zhou, read out the imperial decree in person, to show that the Great Zhou valued and recognized Yun Wang, the king of Yunjiang.

According to the rules when Yunhong Mountain was canonized as the king of Yunjiang, on the night of the canonization, the king of Yunjiang had to have a banquet with flowing water to have fun with the people and drink pepper wine.

Therefore, after the canonization ceremony, starting from the bottom steps of the temple, in front of the east gate of Yunbian City, banquets and bonfires were set up on both sides of the road.

In the gloomy weather, from the highest point of the palace, looking into the distance, the main road of Yunbian City looks like a white fire dragon, winding all the way to the outside of the city gate.

The common people sang and danced, and there were loud gongs and drums and laughter everywhere.

At noon, Jin Ren, who was carrying the crown prince, walked in front, and Zhu Ren, who was riding on the king of Xinyunjiang, followed closely behind. Escorted by the black armored guards, he paraded along the road of the pepper paste banquet to the direction of the city gate. and go.

The Zhu Ren of the King of Yunjiang is open on all sides, so that the common people can admire the demeanor of the King of New Yunjiang, and it also means "to have fun with the people".

The golden 辂 that the crown prince was riding on was surrounded by thick veils, people inside could see outside, but people outside couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

The prince and princess are naturally among them.

It's just a corner of the carriage, and there is a thin figure, curled up in the corner, no one cares.

A stooped man in a dark blue cloak hid in the corner of the city gate tower, trying his best to look at the three people in the golden gate slowly approaching the city gate.

When he set his eyes on Chu Yan's blurred figure, a mocking look flashed across his eyes.

He took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and stabbed himself in the heart.

The blade pierced into the heart, and blood gushed out instantly, and the man died in an instant.

And the moment he died, a white ghost slowly rose out of that body, glanced at Jin Ren's direction again, turned around and floated outside the city gate...
