The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 112: The Jile Temple Case of the Previous Dynasty

Xiao Ping'an said in a baby voice: "Sister!"

Lu Xueying was surprised: "Sister Xiao?"

Xiao Baojing: This generation is really confusing!

Lu Xueying asked with concern: "Sister Xiao, why did you run into the mirror?"

Xiao Baojing squatted beside the hot spring pool with his hands in his pockets, his face full of indescribable words: "It's a long story. Anyway, I can't get out now. Sister Xueying, please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - oh no, he should be the new emperor of Southern Tang now, right? Please tell him that there is a big problem over there in Gu Song. In the next period of time, the people over there will probably return to Southern Tang one after another. Please ask him to be prepared to receive and settle them."

This is no small matter.

The Southern Tang had stabilized, but its social resources were reduced by half. If a large number of people suddenly poured in within a short period of time, it would inevitably cause an impact on social order.

Lu Xueying nodded solemnly: "My husband has already gone to the academy and is discussing the reconstruction of the academy with several great scholars there. I will drive over there and tell him about this!"

She stood up and told the palace servants to harness the carriage.

Xiao Ping'an lay in front of the bronze mirror, stretched out his little hand to touch the mirror surface, and said in a childish voice: "Don't be afraid, sister. The teachers in the academy are very powerful. They know powerful magic. They will definitely be able to rescue sister from the mirror!"

Although she is young, she speaks very logically and knows how to comfort people.

Xiao Baojing's heart was about to melt, and he really wanted to kiss her little face: "Little Ping'an is so good!"

When they arrived at the academy, Lu Xueying immediately informed Xiao Qian of the news brought by Xiao Baojing.

Xiao Qian took this very seriously and told Lu Xueying to ask a few teachers to help Xiao Baojing get out of the Pisces bronze mirror. He then hurriedly summoned his staff to discuss how to settle the people who were about to escape.

The Yin-Yang Pisces bronze mirror is a rare and precious magical instrument. The masters have never seen it before and only guessed that there must be a formula to reveal it. However, they did not know what the formula was, so they had to set up a Confucian formation around the bronze mirror to force the bronze mirror to open its barrier.

The most sacred sayings of Confucianism were floating in the air, and each golden word exuded a righteous spirit, which quickly rescued Xiao Baojing.

Xiao Baojing looked down at himself who had recovered and could not help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect that besides monsters and demon hunters, Confucianists could also practice cultivation! Then wouldn't Legalists, Mohists, and Yin-Yangists also be able to practice cultivation?!"

Lu Xueying brought tea and fruit, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao, have you never heard of the Jile Temple case in the previous dynasty? At that time, a great demon was causing trouble and endangering the world, and it was suppressed by the joint efforts of the 29 most powerful Confucian masters in the world."

Xiao Baojing opened his almond-shaped eyes slightly and caught the key word - Jile Temple.

Along the way, the peddler liked to take her to stay at the Jile Temple the most.

She asked curiously, "What exactly is the Jile Temple case about?"

"The story starts from the previous dynasty, that is, the Gu Song Dynasty——"

Just as Lu Xueying started talking, a palace maid with a pale face hurried in and interrupted their conversation: "Oh no! The princess has severe abdominal pain and has already seen blood!"

Lu Xueying hurriedly said, "Take me over to have a look!"

Xiao Baojing followed nervously behind.

For the past two months, she had been so busy dealing with the Pangu Banner that she had even forgotten about Xiao Yulou!
Xiao Yulou was extremely disgusted with the child in her belly, thinking that the child was the flesh and blood of a demon. She used the Pangu Banner to make a deal with the peddler, asking him to help her kill the child and its biological father.

But the peddler is now missing...

Xiao Yulou moved from a temple on the outskirts of the city to the academy.

Xiao Baojing accompanied Lu Xueying and stood outside the pearl curtain, unable to resist peeking into the inner room.

There was a step-out bed in the inner room with curtains drawn on both sides. Xiao Yulou was lying on the couch with her long black hair spread out on the pillow. Her face was as pale as snow, her cheeks were sunken and haggard, and her limbs were as thin as bamboo poles. However, her belly was strangely bulging high, as if the food inside had absorbed all the nutrients from the mother.

The imperial physician bowed to Lu Xueying and said, "My dear Crown Princess, the reason why Her Highness has spotting is because she has been soaking in cold water for a long time. Fortunately, the child is fine. In addition, the Princess seems to have been on a hunger strike for a few days and is extremely weak. So I will prescribe some tonic prescriptions for her next."

Xiao Baojing was surprised: "He can't die even after this? This child must be a monster, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the dormitory stared at her unhappily. Lu Xueying held Xiao Baojing's hand and shook her head to signal her not to talk nonsense.

After dismissing the palace maids and eunuchs in the room, Lu Xueying sat beside the bed holding a medicine bowl and said softly, "Miss Xiao, you don't know that your aunt is pregnant with the Son of God. From the royal family to the peddlers, everyone has high hopes for your child. Now that the dynasty is falling apart, everyone is more convinced that your aunt's child is a gift from God. This child will definitely be able to cope with this disaster and bring new hope to Southern Tang."

Xiao Baojing was skeptical: "But he's just a baby, what can he do?"

Lu Xueying couldn't answer this question either.

There was a coughing sound from the bed.

Lu Xueying came back to her senses and hurriedly called out, "Aunt is awake?"

The first thing Xiao Yulou did when he woke up was to look at his belly.

When she saw the bulging belly, the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared, tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, and her crying was sad and desperate.

Lu Xueying advised: "Aunt, you should take care of yourself for the sake of your children——"

"Go away!" Xiao Yulou pushed her away suddenly.

Lu Xueying was caught off guard and the medicine bowl in her hand fell to the ground, and the brown medicine stains the cashmere carpet.

She was puzzled: "Aunt?"

Xiao Yulou supported herself on the bed and sat up, hysterical: "I don't like this child, he is the son of an illegitimate child of a demon, a son of illegitimate child! My husband is a general who protects the country, a hero who went to the battlefield and died for his country at a young age, not a dirty and disgusting demon who only dares to appear in dreams! Why do all people advise me to take care of my body and give birth to him just because of a strange stone tablet?! Why doesn't anyone care about my opinion?!"

She used to be a beauty, but now she is tortured by this child and looks haggard.

Those tearful eyes contained intense hatred, like a flame that wanted to burn everything to ashes.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and Xiao Yulou murmured, "If Nan Jia were still here, she would definitely understand my pain..."

Xiao Baojing was in a trance.

In the original plot line, Xiao Nanjia killed Xiao Yulou.

Isn't it because of court struggle, but for the sake of accomplishment?

The evildoer's child was too stubborn. Xiao Nanjia wanted to help Xiao Yulou get rid of this child who shouldn't have existed, but because she didn't know how to do it, she accidentally killed the mother...

The more Xiao Baojing thought about it, the more he felt that this was something Xiao Nanjia could do.

Xiao Yulou noticed Xiao Baojing and grabbed her wrist.

She was too thin and frail, and her pupils looked particularly dark and scary. She asked aggressively, "Where is Shang Bingjiu?! Where is the Taoist priest you followed?! He promised me to get rid of this illegitimate child for me, he promised!"

Xiao Baojing said hurriedly: "I'll go find him right away! He...he's so powerful, he must be able to help you!"

After leaving the dormitory, Lu Xueying said worriedly, "How can there be a mother in the world who doesn't love her own child? She even tries every means to kill him... My aunt is really weird. No wonder some people say that my aunt seems to be possessed by evil spirits."

Xiao Baojing remembered what the peddler had said, held Lu Xueying's hand, and said solemnly: "Someone once told me that God favors women. He gave women the power to reproduce, but whether to use this power is entirely up to the woman herself. We are not the eldest princess, so we are actually not qualified to decide her life for her."

This was the first time Lu Xueying heard this.

She was confused and thought about how Xiao Yulou was now a completely different person from before. She couldn't help but say, "Now that you put it that way, I understand a little bit. In fact, I don't care whether the child is the so-called Son of God or not. I just want my aunt to be as happy as before. Sister Xiao, thank you for teaching me these principles."

The young woman had a bright and gentle appearance, and her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at Xiao Baojing.

"That's right!" Xiao Baojing slapped his head, "I think I can guess where the peddler went. Sister Xueying, please help me borrow a cloud boat from the Crown Prince. I want to go find him!"
