Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 222 The Immortal Body
Xibo Jifu said to the women in the house: "Your Majesty, these days are really hard for you."

The woman replied softly: "I am not alone, I have Xiao Mian by my side. When the two adults came, did you see her?"

"I've never seen it before." Xibo Jifu replied.

Hearing the woman mention "Xiao Mian", Ji Gongyan, who was hiding outside the house, remembered that Xiao Mian had said that her master was Lin Zi.

Lin Zi was once the favorite princess of Zhou Tianzi.Although Ji Gongyan had heard that she was extremely beautiful, she had never seen her in person.Later, she was executed in the court of the emperor for blatantly offending her father.According to legend, she was pierced by thirty guards with knives and guns. Ji Gongyan firmly believed that she could not be alive.

So, is the woman in the house at this moment a human or a ghost?

Li Hongxi's voice came from the house: "The copper bell entrusted by the empress has now returned to its original owner."

Lin Zi said indifferently: "The two adults came here in person, you don't just want to tell this concubine?"

After a moment of silence, Xibo Jifu asked, "Your Majesty, can you recognize these seven-color ears of rice?"

Lin Zi pondered for a while, and asked back, "Who did the Grand Master get this from?"

"Su Ji." Xibo Jifu replied.

Lin Zi fell into a long silence.

Li Hongxi said anxiously: "Madam, we want to know if the ears of rice are poisonous."

"I'm ashamed to say that I don't recognize this thing." Lin Zi paused for a moment, then continued: "As for whether it's poisonous, I'll know if I taste it..."

"No way!" Li Hongxi suddenly exclaimed!
"Young lady! You..." Xibo Jifu stopped abruptly.

Ji Gongyan was also startled, presumably Lin Zi had already tasted the ear of rice with her own mouth!
"Are you alright... Your Majesty?" Li Hongxi asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, you two. If I can die easily, I won't be imprisoned here."

Ji Gongyan was slightly taken aback, hearing the implication of her words, it seemed that she would not die easily.He changed his mind, the reason why Lin Zi was executed was because he drank all the Ziqi Donglai wine presented to his father by Immortal Qingli.If Ziqi Donglai wine can really make people live forever, then Lin Zi survived being pierced by a sword and spear because she possessed an immortal body.Therefore, she was imprisoned in this place.

Ji Gongyan suddenly realized that Lin Zi was an immortal woman!

Li Hongxi said with concern: "Madam, do you feel any discomfort?"

Lin Zi said: "I just swallowed an ear of rice, and I didn't feel any discomfort. Although I don't know what the reaction will be after chewing, but based on my many years of experience in practicing medicine, this ear of rice is definitely not poisonous."

"Thank you." Xibo Jifu heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Hongxi said: "Madam, please bear with me for a while. Li will try his best to persuade Madam to leave this ghost place as soon as possible!"

Lin Zi politely declined and said: "The General's kindness, I have received it physically and mentally. The fact that I have fallen to this point is purely my own fault, and I don't want to bring others into trouble. Please, my lords, don't come again."

Before leaving, Xibo Jifu asked: "This place is full of yin and resentment, and it is often the habitat of monsters. Dare I ask you, have you ever noticed the presence of monsters these days?"

Lin Zi said: "Apart from my concubine and Xiao Mian, there is no third person here. If there is nothing else, please leave quickly, both adults."

The inside of the house fell into silence, and the rain outside the house was pattering.

Ji Gongzhen had been standing in the rain for half an hour, her hands holding the umbrella were red from the cold.A gust of cold wind rushed into the cuffs, and the cold air penetrated into the muscles and bones, making him shiver, and he couldn't help shivering.His nose itched, he couldn't help but sneezed, and immediately covered his mouth in a hurry!

"Master..."

Li Hongxi made a voice as a reminder.Xibo Jifu remained calm.

Immediately afterwards, the three people in the house stopped talking, obviously aware of the abnormality outside.

Ji Gongzhen knew that her whereabouts were exposed, her heart was pounding, and her whole body was as tense as a bowstring.He didn't want the Grand Master to know that he had been here, and suddenly there was only one thought in his mind - the farther the better, the better!

However, the moment he turned around, he realized that he was surrounded by copper fences, like a bird in a cage, and it was not easy to escape.

"Who's outside!" Li Hongxi shouted loudly, his tone full of killing intent!
In desperation, Ji Gongyan tried his best to get out, but unexpectedly his head got stuck in the gap of the copper fence, unable to get in or out, unable to break free for a while.His head was stuck by the cold fence, and there was terrible darkness in front of him. He felt as if he was being pressed under a guillotine, as if his head would fall to the ground at any time!

At this time, Ji Gongzhen smelled a faint fragrance, which smelled a bit like a flower, but he couldn't figure out what it was.He had never smelled such a fragrance before, so he couldn't help taking a deep breath. The smell was fragrant but not greasy, and it gradually overwhelmed the stench from the hut.

Ji Gongzhen felt that the scent was nearby, getting stronger and closer...

"Ma'am, it's me..."

With the sound of a familiar voice, under Ji Gongyan's astonished eyes, a little maid walked into the copper fence, and it was Xiao Mian.But Ji Gongyan didn't see where she came in at all.

Xiao Mian walked into the house and saluted: "My lords, slaves and servants are polite."

Li Hongxi smiled and said, "There is no need to be too polite."

Xibo Jifu said: "Your Majesty, take care, let's take our leave first."

At this time, Ji Gongyan tried his best and finally struggled out of the copper fence, and escaped before Xibo Jifu and Li Hongxi came out.

Xibo Jifu walked out of the copper fence, and said solemnly: "General Li, do you think there is anything unusual about that little maid just now?"

"The Grand Master suspects that Xiao Mian is Qing Li's illusioned human form?" Li Hongxi touched his bald head, shook his head and said, "I don't see any clues from her. But I don't think there will be any problem. After all, Xiao Mian is Empress Lin Zi's personal maid. If Xiao Mian behaves abnormally, Empress Lin Zi will definitely find out immediately. If she finds out that the little maid is Qing Li, she has no reason not to tell us."

Xibo Jifu took a deep breath and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking."

Li Hongxi sighed and said, "Oh, it's all my fault for not being good enough. If I open my eyes, I can see the true face of that monster at a glance."

At this time, Ji Gongyan fled all the way and ran straight to the palace where the dinner was held.

I don't know how far I ran, and a little light appeared in front of me, as if someone was looking for someone with a lantern.As he ran closer and closer, the lights gradually increased.As if seeing the dawn of hope, Ji Gongyan desperately rushed towards a man carrying a lantern, threw himself into the man's arms, and burst into tears.

"His Royal Highness?"

Ji Gongyan looked up, and saw that it was Guo Han he was hugging!
"I found it! I found it!" Guo Han greeted the eunuchs who were carrying lanterns around him, and shouted excitedly: "You go and inform your majesty that the crown prince has been found!"

Ji Gongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his consciousness became in a trance.

In a haze, he felt that someone picked him up, changed his clothes, and took a bath for him.It was the most comfortable hot bath he had ever taken in his life.

That night, the prince's bedroom was full of guards.The bedroom was very lively. More than 20 maids surrounded Ji Gongyan, trying every means to make him happy.However, he still had lingering fears and lay on the bed in a daze.Whoever asked what happened, he didn't say a word.

Zhou Tianzi was in a state of desperation, he didn't know why the prince ran out of the palace, nor what happened, he only knew that the prince seemed to be frightened just now, but now he seems to be bewitched.

Finally, under Guo Han's suggestion, Zhou Tianzi invited Chai Song to the prince's bedroom.

When Chai Song came in front of Ji Gongyan, he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, with a dignified look on his face.

Zhou Tianzi asked: "Daoist, what's wrong with the prince?"

Chai Song already knew it well, but due to lack of evidence, he didn't point it out directly, only said: "The prince is contaminated with Xuanming Qi."

"What is Xuanming Qi?"

"Xuanmingqi originates from the essence of Lihuo, and it is the unique turbidity of ancient monsters."

Zhou Tianzi was startled suddenly, and said in astonishment: "What does the Taoist priest mean, there are monsters in the palace?"

"I can't tell for the time being." Chai Song explained: "Any monster with mysterious energy can only be seen through by the eyes of the sky. It's a pity that I don't have this ability."

Zhou Tianzi said anxiously: "The Taoist priest is the best in elaborating the teachings and Taoism, and even you can't do anything?"

Chai Song comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Although I can't help it, I have a friend surnamed Yang who should be able to help."
