Chapter 1724 I've been to Nanzhao
When Yin Yunting came over, Lu Zhaoling frowned slightly upon seeing him.
"Junior Brother, what happened to you? Your energy seems a bit chaotic."
Zhou Shiyue and Yin Yunting were both taken aback.
"The qi is a bit mixed?" Zhou Shiyue asked. "You can tell that?"
If that's the case, it's almost impossible to keep it from her, because she's already figured it out.
Yin Yunting then remembered that the ghostly energy that Yao Yutong exuded last night was indeed very evil and mixed. When he dealt with those things, he inevitably got some of it. Today, he made a mistake by not using the purification talisman.
I didn't expect my senior sister to be so perceptive; she was actually able to see it.
He and Zhou Shiyue exchanged a glance.
Originally, they were all thinking that they should see if there was a way to resolve this matter today, and if so, they would not let Lu Zhaoling take action.
Yin Yunting was trying to find an excuse, but Lu Zhaoling had already walked up to him and circled him, looking him up and down as she did so, her tone becoming serious.
"There are many remnant souls here. Since they don't all belong to the same ghost, the auras are too mixed. Junior Brother, what exactly did you do last night?"
"You two are exchanging glances right in front of me, do you think I can't see it?"
Lu Zhaoling had already noticed the exchange of glances between them. These two were definitely hiding something from her!
"Was it yesterday? Didn't they say someone tried to harm the Crown Prince at the wedding banquet? If it was a scheme against the Crown Prince, was there a beauty involved?"
Before Zhou Shiyue and Yin Yunting could even speak, Lu Zhaoling had already begun to guess step by step.
"You wouldn't be hesitant to tell me the truth because this beauty is so special, would you?"
Zhou Shiyue gave a wry smile.
It seems I really couldn't hide it from her.
"Senior Sister, that girl..."
"You're all stammering. You wouldn't be suggesting that the failed attempt to use the honey trap on the Crown Prince has something to do with Zhou Shiyue, would you?"
Lu Zhaoling's imagination ran wild. "You suddenly come here today and tell me that you're going to bring another concubine into your palace?" She looked at Zhou Shiyue.
Zhou Shiyue's face darkened.
"Your Highness, it's the second day of the wedding, let's say something nice."
Yin Yunting couldn't help but laugh, "How could he dare?"
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth."
Zhou Shiyue simply told her everything that had happened yesterday, and since he was going to talk about it, he told her all the details.
"That's outrageous!" Lu Zhaoling was furious when she heard that they wanted to use the Crown Prince to make Yao Yutong give birth to a bloodthirsty tyrant who would be "molded" by countless ghostly energies.
"I'll have Dr. Fu come again today to see if she can be detoxified. There are still some toxic substances in her body that haven't been completely neutralized," Yin Yunting said. "I checked where Yao Yutong lives today."
He hadn't slept much last night before getting up, going to the Yao family's house, and searching Yao Yutong's room to see if there was anything suspicious.
"Did you find anything?"
"There was nothing there, it was exceptionally clean, and there was no ghostly aura whatsoever."
Yin Yunting said, "So the grape demon that she was forced to have must have happened outside. I asked her today, and Yao Yutong actually just came back from Nanzhao. Her mother is from Nanzhao, and she went back to Nanzhao with her mother to visit relatives before."
"Nanzhao again?"
Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling both frowned.
Is it such a coincidence?
Many things happen that eventually become somewhat related to Nanzhao.
"Then I'll go check on her."
Lu Zhaoling wasn't really confident either. If even her master couldn't handle it, could she really manage?
Zhou Shiyue said, "The person who tampered with Aze yesterday is locked in the woodshed, as is that Jin Xi."
“Qingxiao has already interrogated him, but,” Zhou Shiyue had just heard Qingxiao report, that the man had died suddenly last night, “he is dead. He was found dead in the woodshed this morning.”
“I just heard the news and went to see for myself. After that person died, his soul also disappeared. Someone must have taken his soul,” Yin Yunting said.
Zhou Shiyue frowned and said, "If that's the case, then the person who collected his soul and the person who killed him should be the same person."
Lu Zhaoling nodded, "That's so that we can't let him find out anything during interrogation."
In addition to killing to silence witnesses, there's an extra clause: after silencing them, you also have to eliminate their ghosts.
So that person must have a high level of cultivation.
That makes sense, how low could someone's cultivation level be if they can create a grape ghost?
“The Underworld will also thoroughly investigate this matter,” Yin Yunting said.
After all, capturing souls is a matter for the underworld. Anyone who captures or destroys a soul in private is violating the rules of the underworld.
Therefore, the Netherworld naturally had to help investigate.
"Go and have a look."
Lu Zhaoling decided to go and see the person first.
"Didn't they say there was another woman named Jinxi? Is she alright?"
“She’s fine,” Zhou Shiyue said. “She’s easy to interrogate, but she’s stupid. She was threatened with something they had on her. She could have come to the Prince’s mansion to explain the situation, but she was jealous of many girls her age and said she would be happy to ruin any one of them, so she agreed to their demands.”
Are there really people like this?
Would you be willing to destroy just one of them?
Is it because of jealousy?
“She and Qiu Yunzhen don’t get along either, and she even said she plans to target Qiu Yunzhen next time,” Zhou Shiyue said.
Lu Zhaoling had just heard him say that Qiu Yunzhen and Qin Yuerong had also helped with yesterday's events.
I never expected so many things to happen yesterday.
These people all tried to keep it from her so that she wouldn't hear about it or take any action on her wedding day.
“Actually, you can tell me directly if anything happens in the future,” Lu Zhaoling said. “I won’t be so easily affected by my mood, and while you want to protect me, I am also willing to stand with you through thick and thin at any time.”
“Okay, I will in the future. But a wedding is different,” Zhou Shiyue said.
"Your Majesty, Princess."
The Imperial Physician was waiting for them in the front courtyard. When he saw them coming, he stood up and looked at Lu Zhaoling with a smile, "I didn't get to see the Princess yesterday, so I must congratulate her in person today."
"Thank you, Dr. Fu." Lu Zhaoling smiled. "It seems you drank quite a bit last night, Dr. Fu. You should control yourself next time. You're getting old, so don't drink so much."
"Your Highness, you noticed that?" The Imperial Physician raised his arm and sniffed the air. "Is there still a lingering smell of alcohol on me?"
Lu Zhaoling said, "I was just guessing."
"Your Highness, the Yao family requests an audience," Aoki said as he approached.
"The Yao family?" Doctor Fu's face darkened. "Are they Yao Yutong's family?"
"Yes, it's Yao's mother, and there's another one, the top scholar Duan Fan."
This was beyond their expectations.
"What is Duan Fan's relationship with the Yao family?" Zhou Shiyue asked the doctor.
