Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 223
Ji Gongyan smelled a strange fragrance that seemed familiar.

In the hazy vision, a girl waved at him gently, as if she wanted him to pass by.The girl's shoulders and head rose and fell slightly, as if she was talking about something, but Ji Gongzhen couldn't hear her voice anyway, and couldn't see her blurred face clearly.The fragrance emanating from her body was accompanied by subtle changes, and every change made him fascinated, and every change made him feel that it was the most wonderful fragrance in the world.

For some reason, even though she knew she was dreaming, Ji Gongyan still refused to wake up and sniffed greedily.

"His Royal Highness."

Ji Gongyan finally heard the girl's voice clearly.That voice was gentle and mellow, making him want to be friends with a girl with such a beautiful voice.He wanted to be closer to the girl, to hear more clearly, to smell more of her.

"Wake up, Your Highness the Crown Prince." The girl called out.

When Ji Gongyan opened his eyes, he found, as expected, that it was just a dream.When waking up from the dream, the strange fragrance lasted for a while and then gradually dissipated, making Ji Gongzhen feel unsatisfied.

At this time, a little court lady gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a white handkerchief, and it was Xiao Mian.

"Your Highness, you are finally awake."

Ji Gongzhen realized that her voice was exactly the same as that of the girl in the dream, and the faint smell emanating from her body was also exactly the same as in the dream.Ji Gongyan got out of bed suspiciously, and found that there was no third person in the bedroom except herself and Xiao Mian.

At this time, Xiao Mian slowly got up and walked towards the outside of the bedroom.The smell disappeared immediately.Watching her leaving back, Ji Gongyan followed her involuntarily, and followed her all the way to a room that seemed familiar.

Through the gap in the wooden window, Ji Gongyan saw that the light inside was dim, and there was a plain bed with a few candles lit around it.Xibo Jifu twirled half a stalk of seven-colored rice in his hand, and sat quietly on the bed, humming "Guan Ju Qu" with a hoarse voice.

After humming a song, Xibo Jifu softly read a name: Yu Hongzhi.

The three words were repeated many times, and every time they were repeated, the tone became heavier, as if they were reciting a spell.

Ji Gongyan remembered that Li Hongxi said that after eating the ears of rice, he could remember important things.At this moment, Xibo Jifu, who didn't know who made "Guan Ju Qu" for, remembered the name "Yu Hongzhi".

"His Royal Highness, have you ever heard of that name?"

Hearing Xiao Mian speak, Ji Gongyan didn't see her move.

Regarding the name "Yu Hongzhi", he had heard of it when he was in Kunlun Mountains. She was a disciple of Master Chan and Su Ji's mother.Ji Gongzhen remembered that when Su Ji and Jiang Ling were eavesdropping outside Yuxu Palace, Su Ji said that he was the son of Xibo Jifu, and was questioned by everyone.

"Your Highness, you once wanted to know about Mr. Fox. Now please think about it carefully. When did you first meet Su Ji?"

Ji Gongzhen's first reaction was to see Su Ji in Kunlun Mountain, but a picture suddenly flashed in his mind, making him feel that something was instantly released!He remembered that Su Ji had presented treasures in the North Palace, and wanted to dedicate a dangerous treasure box to his father!Ji Gongzhen was puzzled, why did he forget such an important thing?

At this time, he noticed that the strange fragrance gradually faded away, and saw Xiao Mian walking away from Xibo Jifu's room and going straight to another room.

Ji Gongyan followed the scent, followed her into the room, and saw Father Guo Shi and Guo Han standing inside, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Father Guo Shi saluted and said, "His Royal Highness, you are finally here."

Ji Gongyan asked: "Lord Guo, what is going on?"

Father Guo Shi said: "Su Ji is the assassin who entered the palace to assassinate the emperor. The prince was hit by his nightmare before, so he will forget important things."

Ji Gongyan looked flustered and said: "Su Ji entered the palace to assassinate, why did the Grand Master and General Li let him go?"

Father Guo Shi said: "Su Ji is the grand master's son. Who would want to kill his own son?"

Ji Gongyan's eyes were lowered, and his eyes drifted away: "The grand master let the assassin go, does he want to plot rebellion?"

Guo Shi's father said: "If the grand master didn't want to rebel, he wouldn't allow his son to cast nightmares on you."

At this time, Ji Gongyan suddenly thought of a more terrifying thing.He thought of the Daoist Lord Lu Ya he saw on Chuanyunyan, who once said that the leader of Lu Ya's sect was named Xi, could it be Xi Bojifu?

"How unreasonable!" Ji Gongyan said angrily, "I'm going to tell my father!"

Xiao Mian gently took his hand, and persuaded: "Based on your trust in the Grand Master, Your Highness thinks that Your Highness will believe it? If the news of the report reaches the Grand Master's ears, what can you do with your crown prince's position?" Safe? Now, Xibo Jifu is in charge of the Zhou family's government, and Li Hongxi is in charge of the military. The two have long been in collusion. It's too late to get rid of them now."

"Then what should I do?" Ji Gongyan became more and more flustered: "What should I do now?"

"If you want to gain a chance of life, Your Highness should not act rashly, try to weaken the rights of the two of them, and slowly take the power into your own hands. First, you must withdraw the military power from Li Hongxi's hands and hand it over to a confidant general. The power in Fu's hands was transferred to a confidant minister."

Ji Gongyan grabbed Guo Shi's father's hand, "Master Guo, you will definitely help me, right?"

Father Guo Shi was overjoyed in his heart, leaned over and said: "The old minister is willing to swear allegiance to the prince to the death, and he will not refuse!"

Guo Han witnessed everything that happened, and secretly lamented that it was not difficult for a scheming father to seduce a child.Guo Han has already seen through Xiao Mian's true identity, but he remembered that Su Ji once said that he should not startle the snake, but just wait and see.

Just when Father Guoshi was proud, the door of the room was kicked open suddenly!

Yang Ni rushed in through the door, and a dazzling sky eye appeared between his brows!

"Bold!" Father Guo Shi shouted sharply, "How dare you break into my room!"

Yang Ni turned a deaf ear, grabbed Xiao Mian by the neck, and suddenly lifted her into the air.

Ji Gongyan turned pale with shock, and hurriedly shouted: "Come here! Escort!"

Yang Ni said indifferently: "No one will come. Now both inside and outside the palace are affected by this monster's nightmare. This monster failed to cross the catastrophe, and was caught by me while he was dying. He is bound to be doomed. It used to confuse King Zhou of Shang, The demonic words are deceiving people, and now it is in my hands, I can only blame it for its many unrighteous actions!"

Xiao Mian looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "His Royal Highness, may I ask how you Zhou people could easily take over the world while King Zhou was on an expedition to Huaiyi if I hadn't had my demonic words to confuse everyone?"

Ji Gongzhen lowered his head, but was speechless.

Xiao Mian looked at Yang Ni and said, "That day, the dinner party to celebrate the prince's return to the palace was full of dignitaries. It should have been an excellent opportunity for you to make a difference, but Li Hongxi arranged you to rest in the guest room. What is he planning, you should be better than me." Clear. You, who escaped from Linglong Tower prison, are you willing to submit to others again?"

Ji Gongzhen looked up at Yang Ni, "If you are willing to help me eradicate traitors, I will make you a great general when I inherit the throne!"

Yang Ni slowly lowered Xiao Mian's neck.

The corners of Xiao Mian's mouth rose slightly, thinking that Yang Ni had finally figured it out.

Yang Ni snorted coldly, and suddenly struck out a palm!
Xiao Mian immediately sprayed blood and fell to the ground!

Yang Ni casually took out a simple copper pot.

Guo Han stared intently, feeling that Yang Ni's movements were as quick as a trick.

At this time, Xiao Mian's figure was gradually melting, emitting dense smoke.

Yang Ni raised his hand to sacrifice the copper pot, and muttered something in his mouth: "Dan Zhu mouth god, spit out the filth and get rid of the atmosphere!"

In the voice, the smoke that Xiao Mian turned into was instantly sucked into the pot.

Everyone leaned over and was about to ask, Yang Ni suddenly raised a hand, signaling not to speak.

A footstep outside the house is gradually approaching.

After a while, Chai Song walked into the room and asked, "Brother Yang, the palace's nightmare technique has been removed. Have you ever caught that vicious beast?"

Yang Ni sighed and said, "It still escaped."

Chai Song shook his head, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Guo Han was startled suddenly, unexpectedly Yang Ni would open his eyes and talk nonsense!Guo Han's mind was full of doubts for a moment, was that mere copper pot just now able to subdue Qing Li?Is Yang Ni catching the monster, or saving it?What kind of ambition is he hiding?
Yang Ni said: "Senior, don't worry, if that evildoer dares to come back again, I'm afraid he won't be so lucky."

Chai Song said happily: "Brother Yang and General Li are sitting in the palace, so I can leave with peace of mind."

"Senior wants to go back?"

"There are still a lot of things to be done in Chanjiao, and I can't delay any longer."

Guo Han couldn't help but took a step forward, and was about to say a few words to Chai Song, but was dragged back by Guo Shi's father, "Han'er, we should go home too."

Chai Song closed his eyes slightly, already seeing the reaction of the father and son, but he didn't want to point it out in the open, so he just said to Guo Han: "Nephew, take care. See you in Kunlun three years later."
