Shen Lingxi dismissed the imperial doctor, and only Xu Ziyao and her were left in the room.

The Yin Yin Jade was placed in Mrs. Cao's heart for about half an hour, and a soul shadow floated out of her body little by little.

Shen Lingxi stood on the side of the bed, always paying attention to Mrs. Cao's physical condition.

Seeing that after Mrs. Cao's soul floated out, the pulse of her body was still calm, and she knew that after this Yin Yin Jade drove her soul out of her body, it would not cause too much damage to her body.

Just as back then, when she was lured into Yun Xi's body by Xiang Zhou, her body only became stupid, not dead.

It seems that what Xiang Zhou said to his mother at the beginning that the body that lost her soul would die was also deliberately deceptive, just to take her body away from Yunguo, so that he could reasonably stay in the palace of Yunguo.

After Mrs. Cao's soul left her body, she was a little dazed, until she saw Xu Ziyao, who was sitting in front of the couch wrapped in a thin quilt, looking haggard and sad, and her eyes became clear.

"Ah Yao......" Mrs. Cao called Xu Ziyao's name lightly, and stretched out her hand to hug her daughter into her arms-

However, her hand passed through Xu Ziyao's body.

Mrs. Cao looked at her hands in disbelief, and when she turned around, she saw her body, lying quietly on the bed.

"I'm ...... Already dead? She muttered.

Shen Lingxi looked at her and replied, "You are not dead, but your soul is temporarily out of your body." ”

This sentence can be heard by both Mrs. Cao and Xu Ziyao.

Madam Cao turned her head in surprise and looked at her, "Crown Princess? Can you see the courtiers? ”

At the same time, Xu Ziyao also followed Shen Lingxi's gaze and looked at the void.

She staggered to her feet, knelt on the ground, and cried, "Mother, mother, don't leave A-Yao." Mother, A-Yao doesn't have a father anymore, she can't be without a mother......"

When Mrs. Cao heard this, tears instantly filled her eyes.

She knelt on the ground, looked at Xu Ziyao, and cried: "A-Niang doesn't want to leave you, but A-Niang has to do this, otherwise...... A-Niang is also for your own good......"

When Shen Lingxi heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly.

In fact, Mrs. Cao's reaction to Xu Ziyao's sentence "no father anymore" was too calm.

She said tentatively: "Madame has been in a coma, I shouldn't know that Xu Yuanshan is dead." ”

These words shocked Mrs. Cao's soul.

Although Xu Ziyao couldn't see Mrs. Cao's soul, when she heard Shen Lingxi say this, she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and told her what happened tonight to the void.

At first, Mrs. Cao was just incredulous on her face, but when she heard the end, she was convinced of what Xu Ziyao said that Xu Yuanshan was completely dead, and she instantly cried bitterly.

"Finally, he's finally dead." Mrs. Cao couldn't cry, "God has eyes, husband, can you see it in the spirit of heaven, he is finally dead, he is dead......"

This cry made Shen Lingxi instantly understand that Mrs. Cao may not have been aware of Xu Yuanda's death all these years.

"Hui Niang ......"

At this moment, the voice of the old ancestor came from the door, "You...... You've known that for a long time......"

Shen Lingxi turned his head to look and saw that the soul body of the old ancestor had changed into a plain white shirt, and the blood stains on his head and face had also been sorted out.

This is the result of Mrs. Li's second wife's body for the body of her ancestor and a small burial.

Mrs. Cao didn't expect that she would be able to see her ancestor out of her soul, she choked with tears, subconsciously straightened up, swallowed her sobs carefully, and said respectfully: "Mother-in-law." ”

This is the knee-jerk reaction of seeing my mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law who is not "treated" for many years.

When the old ancestor saw her like this, he only felt a hot pain in his cheeks.

"Huiniang, it's me who can't stand you." She floated up to Mrs. Cao and knelt down towards her, "Five years ago, he came back from Yunjiang for the first time, and I recognized him pretending to be Da Lang. He lied to me that Da Lang had asked him to do this, and although I had doubts in my heart, I did not delve into it. In the end, I am still selfish...... I believe that he won't, and he doesn't have the ability to attack Da Lang, I can't bear to lose another son, so I hid this matter. ”

"I thought that he should really be like Da Lang, loyal to the country and have no distractions. But later I found out that he had been secretly forming a party for personal gain all these years. The 'ambitions' he spoke to me sounded more and more arrogant. ”

"Many mistakes have been made, I think that one day in the future, what he did, the East Window incident, Huan'er still has His Royal Highness's protection, but who should you and Ayao rely on? The only thing I can do is to get you and A-Yao out of this mansion...... I didn't expect it to hurt you in the end. ”

In the end, the old ancestor was already so remorseful that he hammered his heart, "If I tell the emperor about him replacing Da Lang in the morning, how can there be today's disaster, I am confused, I am confused!" ”

Mrs. Cao also knelt on the ground, tears already rippling in her eyes.

"Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law knows that you mean well." She choked up and said: "Over the years, if there is no mother-in-law to secretly shelter me, my daughter-in-law is afraid that she would have been killed by him...... The daughter-in-law knows it. ”

Her words made the old ancestor's heart tingle even more, "Child, since you know, why don't you leave?" You should have left a long time ago, you shouldn't have stayed. ”

Mrs. Cao shook her head, "My husband died in vain, he respected you the most during his lifetime, and his daughter-in-law should do his filial piety for him." The daughter-in-law is not at ease, leaving you alone in the house, thinking that if he kills you, our mother and daughter will have a good response, besides, the daughter-in-law still wants to wait for a result......"

What to wait for is self-evident.

When the ancestor heard this, he was already in tears.

For the first time, she was glad for the choice she had made.

Fortunately, she met Shen Lingxi.

Thankfully, she chose to make up for her mistakes instead of letting them go wrong.

The old ancestor turned around and was about to kowtow to Shen Lingxi.

was avoided sideways by Shen Lingxi.

"The ancestors don't have to do this great gift, all of this is because the prince of Zhenguo saved His Royal Highness back then, and he will get this good result. It is also because the two of them remember each other in their hearts that they can secretly support each other for so many years. ”

Shen Lingxi had no doubt that with Xu Yuanshan's scheming, even if the ancestor really chose the right path, she might not be able to present this matter to the emperor alive.

And if Mrs. Cao had chosen to accept the arrangement of her ancestors from the beginning and reconciled with the "Duke of Zhenguo", with Xu Yuanshan's heart, the ancestors might not have survived to this day.

If the ancestor dies, it is difficult for Mrs. Cao not to be killed.

On the contrary, the two of them, in the mansion in the capital, secretly supported each other, so that Xu Yuanshan did not have a chance to start.

But the mistake is that they chose to come to Yunjiang.

Yunjiang's mansion is full of Xu Yuanshan's people, just like that sieve, there are loopholes everywhere.

Because of this, Xu Yuanshan was in a hurry.

It's just that there is no lack of reasons why Shen Lingxi secretly fueled the troubles.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi's heart moved slightly, looked at the two who were wiping their tears, and asked, "Can you tell me that you live well in the capital, why did you suddenly come to Yunjiang?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Cao's eyes were a little dazed, and the old ancestor's face suddenly became solemn.

"It was my idea." The old ancestor looked at Shen Lingxi, "As soon as the imperial doctor finds out that my time is short, so before I die, I have to settle Hui Niang and Ah Yao first." ”

"Second, because Urda was executed by His Royal Highness, and the Mu family was overturned......"

Speaking of this, she paused, "That year, His Royal Highness married the spirit seat of the little princess of Yun Kingdom, and it was he who escorted the spirit seat back to the capital. He was drunk, and came to my room at night, and asked me if His Highness knew that he had contributed to the death of the little princess, and would be angry with him. ”

"It was then that I learned that he had a close relationship with a Yunjiang man named Urda. Back then, he asked him to falsely pass on the holy decree and ordered the King of Yunjiang to bewitch Emperor Er'er to sacrifice the little princess as a human sacrifice and curse the Chu royal family, which was Wuerda. ”

"I heard that something happened to Urda, so I am worried that his collusion with Urda will also be known by His Highness, and then this Zhenguo Mansion will definitely end up like the Mu family. So he hurriedly took Huiniang back to his hometown in Suzhou, and sent Li to Yunjiang to report to him first. ”

"I thought that the Li family was unaware, but I didn't expect that when I told her the reason before sending her to Yunjiang, I found out that the Li family not only knew, but also knew more than me. I found out all the things that Li knew about it, only to find out that what he said to me five years ago was a lie. ”

"It was then that I learned that Da Lang died at his hands after he was seriously injured in the Dragon Slope......"

At the mention of the death of Zhenguo Gong, the ancestor choked up again.

Shen Lingxi figured out something from these words.

The ancestor can recognize Xu Yuanshan, this is the natural blood bond of the biological mother to the twins.

But the Li family, unless Xu Yuanshan himself confessed to the Li family, how could she know?

It's just that with Xu Yuanshan's scheming, his future is more important than anything else, how could he easily tell his most important secret to the Li family, who has no children tied to him?

Shen Lingxi thought again that when Xu Yuanshan threatened the Li family to "shut up", he had mentioned the Li family's brother Yiyang Hou.

Between the Li family and Xu Yuanshan, they will definitely not be too innocent.

While Shen Lingxi was thinking about it, Mrs. Cao on the side seemed to suddenly think of something, raised her eyes suddenly, and looked at her with red eyes, "Crown Princess, Xu Yuanshan's killing of my husband is definitely not a temporary intention, he must have planned it from the capital!" ”

These words coincided with what Shen Lingxi had guessed before.

What do you mean by that? Please also ask Madame to tell me truthfully. She asked nervously.

"Six years ago, when I was taking care of the middle feed in the house, I found that there was an account in the second room......"

"Shut up!" At this moment, a swollen pig's head hurriedly floated in from outside the door and interrupted Mrs. Cao's words in a deep voice.

Mrs. Cao had never seen such a scene, and her eyes widened in horror, "Ghost ...... Ghost ......"

Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes sank slightly, almost in a moment, her heart moved, and she directly reached out and took down the Yin Jade placed in Mrs. Cao's heart.

At the moment when the Yin Jade left Mrs. Cao-

Shen Lingxi directly saw Mrs. Cao's soul, as if it was sucked into her body by a strong force!

"Ghost ......!"

Mrs. Cao, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes suddenly, and her hoarse voice squeezed out the word "ghost" in horror.

"Auntie!"

Xu Ziyao, who was on the side, noticed the movement on the bed, stood up in surprise, rushed to the bed, and grabbed Mrs. Cao's hand, "A-Niang, you're awake, you're finally awake!" ”

Mrs. Cao turned her head stiffly, and subconsciously looked towards the door.

It was empty, there was nothing.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madame, need not be afraid." Shen Lingxi said softly, "You can just treat the thing you just saw as a pig's head." ”

It's not very hurtful, and it's extremely insulting.

Xu Yuanshan, who was regarded as a "pig's head", was angry.

"You girl, look for death!" He scolded angrily, and just as his body arrived, his head returned to his body and rushed towards Shen Lingxi together.

"Rebel, dare to make a mistake!" The old ancestor immediately stood in front of Shen Lingxi, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't stop yet!" ”

But since Xu Yuanshan is a rebel, how could he listen to her old mother's words, pass through the soul body of the old ancestor, and crash into Shen Lingxi.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi subconsciously spread out his hand, revealing the Yin Yin Jade in his palm.

So, at the moment when Xu Yuanshan was about to get close to her, his soul seemed to encounter a force and threw him back.

"Hiss......" Xu Yuanshan let out a painful cry, and the pig's head and body were instantly divided into two again.

Look at the embarrassment.

Shen Lingxi raised his eyebrows.

The power of this Yin Jade, although it was not as powerful as the evil qi around Chu Yan's body, could still make her clean for a while.

It is worthy of being a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Holy Maiden.

"Well deserved!" The old ancestor spat him, "How did I give birth to such a beast as you in the first place!" ”

Xu Yuanshan was so angry that his body floated up, and his head was spinning in mid-air.

A look of "impotent rage".

Shen Lingxi glanced at him lightly, and then turned back to check on Mrs. Cao's condition.

After just a few breaths, Mrs. Cao has completely come back to her senses.

Seeing Shen Lingxi looking over, she hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, Fang Cai, is that ...... It's ......"

"It's him." Shen Lingxi nodded, "After a person dies, the soul will leave the body, and if there is no obsession, the soul will dissipate into reincarnation." If there is still an attachment in the earthly world, the soul will not easily dissipate. ”

She glanced at Xu Yuanshan in mid-air with a smile, "His great cause has not been accomplished, and his obsession is quite deep, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to dissipate for a while." ”

Mrs. Cao asked with a complicated expression, "Then my husband, is there still a soul left in the world?" ”

Shen Lingxi said regretfully: "Yesterday, I asked Su Xian to check around in the Dragon Cutting Slope, there are traces of the remnants of the magic circle inside, and the soul of the grandfather of the country, I am afraid that it has been ......."

When Mrs. Cao and the old ancestor's souls heard this, their faces were full of pain.

Only Xu Yuanshan looked at them, his face swollen into a pig's head, and he had a sly smile.

"A-Yao." Mrs. Cao looked at Xu Ziyao and said weakly: "You go to the top box against the wall in my room, bring the red account book, and give it to the crown princess." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ziyao nodded, stood up, and walked outside.

At the same time, Xu Yuanshan thought of something, his eyebrows sank, and he subconsciously followed behind Xu Ziyao and floated out.

When Shen Lingxi saw this, he knew that this account book must be what Mrs. Cao said, and found that Xu Yuanshan had a problematic account.

She thought that among the rumors about "Second Master Xu left Beijing in a bad mood, strayed into the Dragon Cutting Slope, and was captured by Fu Meng", there were also details of quarrels with the eldest lady over accounts.

"Xu Yuanshan is not here at this time." Shen Lingxi asked bluntly: "Madame might as well tell me now, what is the problem with the accounts?" ”
