In the past five years, Chu Qian has traveled north and south, and the ghosts he has received have not been a hundred or eighty.

But the biggest ghost he has ever encountered, but he has been practicing Taoism for two hundred years, and although his grievances are deep, there is only one person, and what he has learned from his master can completely subdue him.

This was the first time he had seen it.

Because of Chu Lingzhao's will, the whole Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion rarely mentioned the matter of the palace in front of him, so he didn't know that the palace was a place to eat people, let alone how many unjust souls had gathered here after thousands of years.

Now these unjust souls have been summoned by this powerful ghost in Chu Yue'an's body, and he is in a state of soul wandering, and he has fallen behind all of a sudden.

Chu Qian felt as if his soul had been packed into a cloth bag, which was shrinking little by little, as if it was about to squeeze him into powder.

"Hey, hurry up and figure it out!"

An anxious voice sounded in his ears, Chu Qian felt that the pressure had decreased a little, and an orange ball of light wrapped his whole person.

"Little one?"

Chu Qian muttered suspiciously, not understanding how this little monster could help him at this time.

Isn't it also evil?

Chu Qian couldn't figure it out, and the ball of light became a little brighter: "Don't care about the size, think of a way, I won't be able to last long!" ”

As he spoke, a crack appeared in the ball of light.

The crack was minimal, but there was a clear click, as if the bones of something had been crushed alive.

A trace of dark resentment burrowed into the crack, swimming like a small snake, and slowly probed towards Chu Qian.

However, just as it touched Chu Qian, a low roar suddenly sounded.

"Roar!"

Chu Qian's eyes widened violently, secretly screaming that it was not good, and he was about to calm down and recite the meditation mantra, as if the sharp pain of his body tearing struck.

"Ahhh

Chu Qian couldn't help but scream, the orange halo around his body disappeared, and the little guy turned back to his original form, looking at him in horror, the hairs on his body exploded, and the roots stood up.

"You...... What the hell are you? ”

The little one stammered, his voice trembling terribly.

It is not deeply involved in the world, and does not understand the difference between humans and monsters, only that people walk on two legs, have a short lifespan, and die easily.

If they are unwilling to die, they will have resentment, and resentment is the most delicious food for their people.

It has eaten a lot of grievances, and it has seen many souls, but it has never seen Chu Qian like this.

How can there still be a monster hidden in a person's soul?

The little guy didn't understand, Chu Qian was so painful that he couldn't respond to his words.

It was as if something was parasitic in his body, and he had awakened under the attraction of this great resentment, and wanted to tear his flesh and flesh apart, and drill out of his body little by little.

"Roar!"

There was another roar, this time the voice was clearer and more deafening than just now, and even the palace people who were mortal with the naked eye felt a trace of unease.

"What sound?"

Chu Chen frowned and asked, and the palace people hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The slave doesn't know, Your Highness wait a minute, the slave will let people check!" ”

The palace man said and left through Chu Qian's soul.

Chu Qian's body was now almost transparent, and on his back, there was a red soul path looming, and anyone who could see it would be surprised that there was a lifelike dragon head on his back.

The dragon was furious, his face was hideous, and his eyes were scarlet with the ruthlessness of wanting to destroy the world.

The second dragon groaned, and the air shook, and the resentful spirits that had gathered outside the palace were screamed in a terrible and miserable manner.

"Who are you?"

The powerful ghost in Chu Yue'an's body was suppressed by the Buddha seal that Chu Qian had just now, and he couldn't come out of Chu Yue'an's body to see what was going on for a while.

Chu Qian didn't answer her words, he had lost his mind now, and even his soul was not under his control.

The red soul path on his back gradually crawled densely all over his body, and his eyes also turned red.

Because he was in a state of soul, he did not wear a mask, and there was no difference in skin color, and the contours of his entire face were revealed.

Chu Chen was not far from him, and the faces of the two appeared in the same space, immediately forming a contrast.

It's like!

The two of them have almost nine images, but Chu Chen has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he has a natural imperial domineering aura on his body, while Chu Qian has a demonic and bloodthirsty aura.

The evil aura was much heavier than the resentful spirits outside, like a general commanding countless martyrs and undead on the battlefield.

"It's you!"

The ghost in Chu Yue'an's body screamed in disbelief, and he already recognized Chu Qian's identity.

"Why aren't you dead yet?!"

The fierce ghost screamed, like a fierce beast trapped in a cage, eager to immediately break through the cage and pounce on Chu Qian and tear him to pieces.

She hated him, the bitter kind.

Chu Qian didn't know what kind of entanglement he had with this powerful ghost, and the remaining trace of reason suddenly gave birth to a trace of terrifying ruthlessness after feeling this monstrous hatred.

I want to kill, I want to kill all sides, I want to destroy everything!

"Roar!"

He opened his mouth, but there was an earth-shattering dragon groan from his throat.

"Ahem!"

Chu Chen suddenly covered his lips and coughed, his throat swelled with fishy sweetness, and he actually coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Prince!"

"Your Highness!"

Chu Yue'an and the palace people exclaimed at the same time, the powerful ghosts in Chu Yue'an's body and the undead outside the hall were all shocked by this dragon roar, and the orange furball was also shocked and rolled to the door of the hall, but it grabbed the threshold with its claws and withstood this wave of attacks.

"Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor!"

Chu Yuean said anxiously, and the palace people immediately ran out in panic.

The little guy's fur was blown crookedly, and the color of the fur in the soul state was not so bright, and it crept back cautiously, looking at Chu Qian from a distance of two or three steps.

Chu Qian's entire soul was wrapped in a red soul path and turned into pieces of gorgeous dragon scales.

If this continues, he will be devoured.

The little guy frowned, but in the midst of red, he saw a flash of white light in Chu Qian's heart chamber.

What is that?

The little guy was puzzled, seeing that Chu Qian's soul power was getting weaker and weaker, the little guy kicked his legs and turned into a ray of white light and drilled into Chu Qian's heart.

Through the intertwined red web, a small white flower appeared in front of its eyes.

The flower has only five petals, a bit like a pear blossom in the world, without a trace of dust.

Leaning closer, the little one heard a soft whisper: "The young son is innocent, may he be safe and worry-free for the rest of his life!" ”

After this whisper, there was a man's calm voice: "What my wife wants, that is, what I want!" ”

The little one didn't know the identity of the person who spoke, but he knew that they were a couple.

The two are praying for their children.

Underneath the white flowers, there was a pale golden bowl.

The golden bowl has been protecting the white flowers, and it seems that they have been for a long time, but the white flowers have no roots and are not connected to Chu Qian's heart ventricles, indicating that the couple and Chu Qian are not really blood relatives.

It stands to reason that this flower should have withered a long time ago, but for some reason, it has been protecting Chu Qian from being devoured by evil spirits.

The little guy turned into his original body, tilted his head and looked at the white flower curiously, the soul path of the evil dragon had gradually spread into the heart ventricles.

"Grandpa said that although we can purify the resentment of ghosts, we are still demons, and we shouldn't have too much to do with people." The little one muttered quietly and raised his right paw, revealing the sharp tip of his claw.

"But I have eaten and drunk your blood, and I have inherited your grace, and I cannot see death without salvation."

When the words fell, the tip of the little guy's claws flashed coldly, and it pierced straight into his heart.

It burst into tears, but gritted its teeth and endured it, and after a while, hooked out a strand of orange and placed it on the white flower.

Its claws did not pull away, pressed on the white flower, and solemnly swore an oath: "I am willing to practice for two hundred years, protect the grace and fairness, and have no worries in my life!" ”

As the words fell, the orange silk melted into the middle of the petals, faded into white stamens, and under the petals, a few wisps of flower roots quickly sprouted into the golden bowl.

Almost the moment the roots burrowed into the golden bowl, a golden strong light suddenly surged, expelling the little guy's soul and expelling the red soul path that almost engulfed Chu Gua.

"Roar!"

After a dragon groan, the red light on Chu Qian's body dissipated, and only the faint pain on his back declared what had just happened.

Chu Yue'an quickly sent Chu Chen back to his dormitory with the palace people, which was empty, and when Chu Qian woke up, it was dark in front of him, only the gentle moonlight sprinkled by the window not far away.

The moon is slanting in the east, and the sky is almost dawn!

This thought first popped up in Chu Qian's mind, and the things that had happened before came into his mind one after another.

He rubbed his head, realizing that his soul was still out of his body, and he lifted his eyes to look left and right, and an orange furball was lying unconscious at his feet.

He bent down to pick up the little one, but saw that its tail was shortened.

Monsters can be transformed, and body injuries can be repaired with magic, but the soul is different.

The soul of a demon is the same as a human body, once it is disabled, it is a permanent cripple, and it will always be laughed at in the demon world.

So, what about the tail of this little guy?

Chu Qian was suspicious, the moonlight gradually dissipated, and the sky was about to dawn.

didn't have time to think about it, Chu Qian scooped the little guy into his hand, put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, and at the center of his eyebrows and the little guy's eyebrows, a sense of weightlessness hit, and then he opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was indeed a familiar room.

Chu Qian sat up and saw that the little guy was still on the table, and the fur that had been wet before had dried out, but it was just sticking to his body one by one, and he didn't look very good.

The little guy lay on the table softly, without the slightest intention of waking up, Chu Qian probed its head, and after confirming that its soul had returned to its body, he added a requiem charm to its head.

After doing this, the sky was getting brighter, Chu Qian asked the next person for hot water to give the little guy a bath, and then used a spell to dry it and put it on the bed.

The little guy didn't wake up during the whole process, and Chu Qian couldn't help but be a little worried.

His memory stopped in Chu Yue'an's body, and the powerful ghost summoned the resentful spirit to awaken the monster on his back, and he didn't remember the rest of the matter.

This happened to him when he was catching ghosts for the first time, when the master was still by his side, and when he found out that he was not doing well, he immediately placed a ban on him.

The Master didn't tell him what he had on his back at that time, but only told him that he would know when the time came, so he didn't ask too much.

Now he was a little worried about what he had done to seriously injure the little guy during the time he didn't remember.

Although this little guy is a demon, he can purify his grievances, and he doesn't look like a monster who does evil, if he hurts it in vain, Chu Qian still has some regret in his heart.

Because the little guy never woke up, Chu Qian stayed in the room and didn't go out.

The prince's coughing up blood alarmed the entire hospital, and early the next morning, the news spread throughout the court.

After the dynasty, Chu Huai'an was left by Chu Lingzhao and went to the prince's bedroom.

The people from the Tai Hospital didn't dare to leave all night, and as soon as Chu Lingzhao and Chu Huai'an walked in, a large number of people knelt outside.

"Meet Your Majesty, see the Marquis of Xiaoyao!"

Everyone shouted in unison, but Chu Lingzhao ignored it and walked straight inside.

Chu Chen was sitting on the bed, looking at the excerpts, when he saw Chu Lingzhao coming in, he got up and wanted to salute, Chu Lingzhao walked a few steps forward quickly, and pressed his shoulder: "Since you are still sick, you don't need to be polite." ”

Chu Lingzhao's strength was a little heavy, and with irresistible coercion, Chu Chen immediately cooperated to relax his body and lie down: "Erchen is already fine." ”

Chu Chen whispered, his complexion had returned to normal, and he couldn't see any sickness.

Chu Lingzhao withdrew his hand and turned his head to look at the person kneeling in the room: "Why did the prince vomit blood?" ”

Chu Lingzhao had asked this question once last night, but no one could answer it, and now when he asked it again, the room was suddenly silent, and after a long time, the head of the courtyard replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have joined forces to diagnose and treat His Highness, His Royal Highness's pulse is stable, he is diligent in martial arts training on weekdays, and his physique is excellent, so I really can't see where there is a problem." ”

"Can't see it?" Chu Lingzhao's voice became cold, and there was murder in his eyes: "You mean, my crown prince vomited blood for no reason?" Or did he pretend to vomit blood so that the entire Tai Hospital could not live in peace? ”

Chu Lingzhao's rhetorical question made people's backs cold, and everyone hurriedly kowtowed, and even Chu Chen got out of bed and knelt down.

"Please be enlightened by Your Majesty, the ministers dare not deceive Your Majesty!"

"My father is angry, and my sons dare not deceive my father!"

Chu Chen said loudly, it was not that he did not dare to deceive Chu Lingzhao, it was completely unnecessary.

For so many years, Chu Lingzhao has not been drafted into the palace again, although An Ruolan has not been crowned, but her status in the harem is the highest, and there is only one prince in the entire Yuanzhao, Chu Chen, no one threatens his position as the prince, so there is no need for him to make any more waves.

Chu Huai'an stood by and watched this scene with a gloomy expression, scolding Chu Lingzhao in his heart, and had already guessed what Chu Lingzhao was going to say next.

Sure enough, Chu Lingzhao did not condemn the people in the Tai Hospital, but only ordered them to guard the prince's dormitory, and be sure to find out the reason why the prince vomited blood, and the deadline was set on the eve of the crown prince and the crown ceremony.

If the reason can't be found out at that time, everyone will have to pay for it.

Chu Lingzhao didn't say exactly what the price was, but everyone knew it, and if they couldn't find this damn person, everyone had to die.

Chu Chen was also forced to lie on the bed because of this, and was well maintained by the people in the Tai Hospital.

Coming out of the prince's bedroom, Chu Lingzhao took Chu Huai'an to the imperial garden.

It's autumn, the flowers in other places have long been blooming, the imperial garden is still a piece of purple and red, the palace people specially cultivated a batch of chrysanthemums, just on the day of the prince and the crown ceremony, you can put a few hundred pots for decoration.

Sitting in the pavilion of the imperial garden, Chu Lingzhao's coldness dissipated a little, and the palace people offered a small stove, simmered hot tea on the stove, and served pastries, and then all retreated, leaving a private space for conversation.

Chu Lingzhao poured himself a cup of tea first, took a sip leisurely, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chu Huai'an: "This tea is good, don't you want to taste it?" ”

"Don't dare, my brother is afraid that His Majesty will be in a bad mood, so I will give my brother chin beans again."

Chu Huai'an directly refused, Chu Lingzhao bent his eyes and smiled: "I have been much more stable over the years, and I haven't caused any trouble, why do I want to treat you like this?" ”

He said it lightly, Chu Huaian scolded him in his heart, and poured a cup of tea to pretend to be profound.

Today's weather is good, autumn is crisp, and it is really a pleasure to sit in the beautiful scenery of the back garden.

Chu Huai'an took a sip of tea and unconsciously hummed a little song in his mouth.

Anyway, the palms and backs of his hands are all meat, no matter what Chu Lingzhao wants to do, it is his own flesh and bones that are hurt.

Even if he deceives himself and doesn't want to admit it, that's not okay!

Chu Huai'an's mentality adjusted, and he became more and more calm, and in the end, Chu Lingzhao opened his mouth first: "I heard that the prince of Xiaoyao Hou has returned to Beijing?" ”

Chu Qian returned to Beijing in a low-key manner, and he hadn't made a big banquet yet, Chu Lingzhao heard this, so he naturally listened to what the royal secret guard said.

Chu Huai'an played with the white jade wine glass and responded casually: "Hmm." ”

"He has been away from Beijing for many days, why does he suddenly want to come back?"

Chu Lingzhao continued to be tempted, but what he said made people want to laugh.

Chu Qian is the son of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, doesn't he want to go home?

"His grandmother is going to celebrate her seventieth birthday, and I let him go home to celebrate his birthday, Your Majesty won't even allow this, right?" Chu Huai'an gave the perfect reason.

One thing to say, Chu Lingzhao has indeed governed Yuanzhao very well over the years, and Chu Huai'an, as a courtier, has some superficial efforts that should be done.

It's just that Chu Huai'an gave the steps here, but Chu Lingzhao didn't go down.

"It is natural for him to come back to celebrate his birthday, and I will not interfere, but his return endangers my crown prince......"

"Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you must be cautious in your words, murdering the prince is a big crime that will be beheaded all over the house, and our Xiaoyao Mansion can't afford such a crime!"

Chu Huai'an raised his voice to interrupt Chu Lingzhao's words, and he was also a little angry in his heart, for so many years, Chu Qian had even passed through the gate of the palace only a handful of times, he didn't know how tortuous his life experience was, and he didn't have the slightest threat to Chu Chen, but he was repeatedly troubled by Chu Lingzhao.

According to Chu Lingzhao's current meaning, whenever Chu Chen has a cold and cough, he can blame Chu Qian for it.

If Chu Qian's true fate is unknown, the first person to be restrained should be the people of their Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, right?

Chu Huai'an's tone was a little tough, Chu Lingzhao stopped talking, and looked at Chu Huai'an coldly with a teacup in his hand.

Chu Huai'an didn't instigate him, and lifted his eyes to look back.

The silent confrontation lasted for a long time, the tea on the stove was gurgling and boiling, Chu Lingzhao lifted the teapot and put it aside: "What happened this time, I will know when the time comes, I just said it casually, so I don't have to be so nervous." ”

In the end, it was Chu Lingzhao who made the concession first, and he also knew that Chu Huai'an was a little bastard when he was young, and now that he is old, he is also an old bastard with a calm skin.

Talking to Chu Huai'an, reasoning and scheming are useless.

If Chu Huai'an is forced to be in a hurry, he will only do it hard with others!

Chu Huai'an stiffened his face and didn't respond, Chu Lingzhao poured out the cold tea, poured himself a cup of hot and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly: "It's time for the prince of Xiaoyao to reach the crown, I haven't seen him for many years, and I'm a little curious about what he looks like now, on the day of the crown prince and the crown, please also invite him into the palace to watch the ceremony." ”

Chu Lingzhao said casually, but Chu Huai'an exploded in an instant: "Didn't Your Majesty make an order that he should not enter the palace in this life?" ”

His voice was a little loud, Chu Lingzhao lifted his eyes to look at him, and released the emperor's coercion: "I have made a decree, can't I change it?" ”

"What does Your Majesty want to see him for?"

"I want to see someone, do I need a reason?"

Chu Lingzhao asked lightly, Chu Huai'an gritted his teeth in anger, and directly turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

It's almost fifty people, and their tempers are still so explosive.

Chu Lingzhao shook his head and sat there and continued to drink tea, his eyes a little dark.

No one knows, he's been having nightmares these days.

In the dream, Su Bangyue, who has been dead for many years, at first her little bird snuggled in his arms, which reminded him of many years ago, when they were newly married, he loved her very much, and wanted to give her anything good, but when he was intimate with her again, she became disheveled and her body was rotten into a skeleton.

In her dreams, she frantically tried to strangle him and ask for his life.

She hated him, hated him for being the emperor on top, hated him for exiled the Su family, hated him for letting her give birth to a crippled child, hated him for driving him crazy with that child.

What she hated the most was that he let Su Li personally send her on the road.

She is the concubine of Shangshufu, she has been proud all her life, and she doesn't want to be inferior, but he pulled her down from the clouds, stepped on her into the mud, and showed her most embarrassing side in front of Su Li.

"Yue'er, you shouldn't hate me."

Chu Lingzhao drank tea and muttered, his eyes were cold.

He really loved her back then, if it weren't for Chu Huai'an hiding in her heart, if she hadn't attacked the child in her womb, he wouldn't have been so ruthless.

It's all her own doing......

He said in his heart, I don't know if it was to convince her, or to convince himself.

……

Chu Huai'an went out of the palace in a rage, and when he returned home, he happened to collide with Su Li, who had just come back from outside.

"Why did Master Hou come back so late today?"

Su Li asked, her eyes lit up, and she didn't know that the prince vomited blood last night.

Chu Huai'an took a breath in his throat, and took a moment to adjust his expression to normal: "It's okay, I was left to discuss the matter of the prince and the crown." ”

He lied casually, Su Li was thinking about other things, didn't notice the change in his expression, took out a booklet from his sleeve pocket and opened it to show him: "Qian'er is about to pass the crown, I plan to give him the crown ceremony by the way when I take over the banquet, you can help me see what is missing." ”

Over the years, she has handled a lot of things, and she has done all of them easily, but because she helped Chu Qian, she has become more and more refined.

Chu Huai'an took the booklet and looked through it, but he couldn't read it, and finally closed the booklet and told Su Li the truth: "The prince and the crown ceremony, Your Majesty wants Qian'er to enter the palace to attend the banquet!" ”
