Chapter 193
"Qiuyue, I'm sorry, it's me who put you in danger."
Lu Yuan said to Xu Qiuyue with some self-blame.
It was he who presented the martial arts technique given to him by Xu Qiuyue to Emperor Sheng, but he did not expect that he would face such a crisis.
This is the capital city.
"The emperor sent people to rescue us. Now, the house we live in has been burned down. I'm afraid the emperor will order us to live in the palace."
Compared to the imperial palace, Xu Qiuyue hated the Ning'an Palace more.
Emperor Sheng is an obvious bad guy.
But Prince Ning'an is not a good person either, and Xu Qiuyue hates hypocritical people even more.
The reason why Xu Qiuyue fell into such a state was almost entirely due to the Ning'an Palace.
She didn't want to pretend to be polite to King Ning'an anymore, and then have to thank him for taking her in.
Xu Qiuyue was reminding Lu Yuan to find a new place to live.
"Qiuyue, don't worry. I have another yard near the Dali Temple. It's just much smaller than this one. But with a little care, it can still be lived in."
Lu Yuan said to Xu Qiuyue.
He must get to the bottom of today's incident.
In the capital, his house was burned down.
The imperial court had lost all its dignity, but he was the chief minister of the Dali Temple, specifically responsible for investigating cases.
········
Lu Yuan and Xu Qiuyue have just moved into their new home.
Emperor Sheng actually issued an imperial edict allowing Xu Qiuyue to enter the palace.
The excuse was that it was to better protect Xu Qiuyue, as he was worried that what happened today had frightened Xu Qiuyue.
Lu Yuan has a token and can enter the palace to see Xu Qiuyue at any time.
Xu Qiuyue touched the sword in her hand.
She finally chose to enter the palace.
Disobeying the order will result in a crime.
More importantly, it’s because Xu Qiuyue believes in her own abilities.
What's more, Xu Qiuyue also put enough food in the space.
By then, Xu Qiuyue would not even drink a sip of water in the palace.
No one would know that Xu Qiuyue had space.
Xu Qiuyue brought a lot of poisons in the space. These poisons were purchased by Xu Qiuyue before returning to Beijing.
Lu Yuan was investigating the case like crazy.
Emperor Sheng did not stop it.
However, Lu Yuan actually found out some clues.
The high priest of the court, and now the imperial teacher, is Miaolian Zhenren.
She used to be the junior sister of the Blood Witch Sikong Xuanmiao.
However, there was no evidence, the physical evidence was destroyed, and the witnesses were killed. Emperor Sheng even personally said in the court that the Xuannv Sect had framed the high priest and asked Lu Yuan to deal with the Xuannv Sect.
············
Xu Qiuyue entered the palace.
Xu Chunhua was very happy. She also wanted to go see Xu Qiuyue and ask Xu Qiuyue to salute her.
But he was stopped by Xuan Yi.
"What are you going to do in Chunhe Palace? That place is unlucky. Xu Qiuyue is the daughter of the Blood Witch. There are countless people inside and outside the palace who want to kill her. The smell there might be poisoned. Your belly is so big now. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child."
Xuan Yi lectured Xu Chunhua.
"Xuan Yi, there are so many people who want to kill the blood devil!"
“In fact, my father was blamed for many things, just like the Xuannv Cult now. They said that the Xuannv Cult was responsible for my father’s death, and they also said that the Xuannv Cult was responsible for the Lu family’s house being burned down.
Back then, those princes were not killed by my father at all. If my father had done so, how could His Majesty tolerate it?
Those people were killed by the Blood Witch.
She turned love into hate, and when she couldn't get the emperor, she attacked the prince.
The means were extremely cruel, peeling people's skin alive. When people were alive, but their skin was gone, it was worse than death, and they could only die in pain little by little.
My father is kind and couldn't bear to see them suffer like this. They would surely die if their skin was gone.
The only thing we can do is to reduce their pain.
Do you think those people hate the Blood Witch?
Moreover, the Blood Witch specifically targets high-ranking officials and nobles.
The more noble one's status, the more brutal their methods.
And he specifically kills the good-looking ones among the dignitaries."
Xu Chunhua was shocked when she heard this.
She finally understood why Aunt Mei asked her not to reveal her identity.
With such a blood feud, those people will definitely not let her go.
"Who do you think is Xu Qiuyue's father? Since this blood devil woman is so cruel, what kind of man could make her willingly bear a child and give birth to it?"
Xu Chunhua asked with a glimmer of hope.
She hoped her father would be a powerful man.
"I don't know. The Blood Witch was once banished to the Red Mansion, and her personality changed drastically. She especially liked to torture handsome men from wealthy families. She killed many, many people, and I heard from those people that she liked to pluck off the skin of the people and keep it for collection afterwards.
Maybe he is the offspring of a certain prince, but I don’t think anyone would recognize Xu Qiuyue!
Even if it was her biological father, if he was still alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the slightest affection for Xu Qiuyue.
Lu Yuan has now become a hanging thread in the game between His Majesty and the Ning'an Palace, and can be pulled apart at any time and anywhere. Now, the identity of his wife has been revealed.
His parents were killed, so he must be feeling very bad. "
Xuan Yi originally wanted to take action against Lu's father!
Now, he doesn’t have to take any action.
He felt a bit like he was laughing at the Lu family's current situation.
Unlike him, his father was murdered, but fortunately his mother is still alive.
If it weren't for the former Crown Princess who had been helping and planning for him behind the scenes, he would have been defeated by Xuan Jiuqing long ago.
He had never known that Xuan Jiuqing was so insidious and vicious.
It wasn't enough that he killed his father, he also wanted to kill him.
"Then why would His Majesty let this blood witch live in the palace and protect her if she is so vicious and so many people want to kill her?"
Xu Chunhua was a little confused.
Deep down, Xu Chunhua hoped that Xu Qiuyue would die in her place.
She was afraid that her true identity would be discovered.
She hoped that the matter with the Blood Witch would be over as soon as possible.
Xuan Yi planned to help Zhu Xing'er take the throne and make her his Crown Princess after Xu Chunhua gave birth.
So Xuan Yi is now much more tolerant towards Xu Chunhua.
At this time, he also had the patience to explain to Xu Chunhua: "Although the Blood Witch is evil, her sacrificial technique is very powerful. Our current national teacher is not even half as good as her.
It is said that when she was alive, she could call the wind and rain.
It can also revive the dead.
Rejuvenate people.
Although they are all rumors and exaggerated a lot by outsiders, His Majesty believes them!
People!
No matter how vicious you are, as long as you are useful, someone will naturally come to protect you."
There are some things that Xuan Yi can't say too directly.
His Majesty is still dreaming of immortality.
However, Xuan Yi is confident that he can outlast Emperor Sheng.
Xu Chunhua was a little nervous. Aunt Mei had said that her blood was very magical.
Her blood has very magical powers.
This is an ability that only a blood witch possesses.
Only in this way can she successfully change her face and survive.
