The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

It’s not that he didn’t believe Feng Xing’s words, he just wanted to see Ling’er with his own eyes.

Why did the one he buried his beloved with his own hands disappear?

The three of them rushed to the imperial mausoleum without stopping. At this moment, Nangong Mingxuan's heart felt like it was being grabbed by a big hand.

The heartache of losing his beloved half a year ago was still there, and now various news indicated that she was still alive, which made him unsure how to face it.

Wushang showed the token of the Regent's Palace to the leader of the soldiers guarding the mausoleum.

When the leader saw that it was a token from the Regent's Palace, he did not dare to stop him and quickly let him pass.

Nangong Mingxuan was walking on the way to the underground palace. Every step he took felt like he was walking on cotton and his legs were weak.

He couldn't accept the blow of disappointment. He was so afraid that when he opened the coffin, she would still be lying coldly inside. He was also afraid that she was not inside because she had been lost for a long time.

Wushang and Fengxing were able to see the struggle in their master's heart and the changes in his emotions.

They both made a simultaneous move, walked forward, and directly supported their master as he walked.

The closer the three of them got to the underground palace, the heavier their mood became.

When they went down to the underground palace and walked to the place where the princess's body was placed, they saw the coffin that the man had prepared for her was still there.

A wave of sourness surged in the man's heart again.

She gently placed her hand on the coffin lid, and he didn't dare push it, for fear that what he saw would be different from what he imagined, and he couldn't bear the consequences of disappointment.

"Master...let me do it."

Wushang, who was standing by, looked at the painful expression on the man's face and offered to help. The man waved at him.

He didn't want anyone to touch his woman.

After some psychological struggle, he finally decided to open the coffin lid.

The man subconsciously closed his eyes. He didn't dare to look at the truth before him.

"Master...Look, the princess is really not here."

Hearing Feng Xing's voice, the man opened his eyes directly.

Looking at the empty coffin, the body of the lover whom he had buried with his own hands was missing.

His eyes were filled with shock, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

His face turned pale instantly and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He stood there with his eyes wide open, as if he had lost all his strength.

The air in the underground palace seemed to become heavy and filled with mystery.

Nangong Mingxuan's heartbeat quickened, and the sound echoed in the silent underground palace, as if mocking his helplessness.

His hands clenched unconsciously, his nails digging deep into his palms, and the pain brought him back to his senses a little.

He took trembling steps and searched anxiously in the underground palace, hoping to find some traces or explanations.

Not leaving out any corner, he carefully observed whether there were any traces of dragging on the ground or any unusual signs on the walls.

However, there was nothing to do but an empty silence.

"How did they take the princess away? What kind of conspiracy did the princess go through?"

Nangong Mingxuan asked himself over and over again in his heart.

"No harm.. Feng Xing.. Go back"

"Yes"

Wushang and Fengxing closed the coffin lid and followed their master out of the underground palace.

The three men and three horses galloped back to the Regent's Palace.

He can now prove with 100% certainty that the virtuous concubine of Dayu Kingdom is his "Ling'er"

It turns out that his "Ling'er" is still alive, and he wants to rush to Dayu as soon as possible and bring him back to his side.

Return to the Palace Study

Jun Sa has been waiting for a long time.

"Jun Sa, do you think there is a drug that can cause a person to fake death? If it makes a person lose his pulse or heartbeat, he will be no different from a real dead person."

Jun Sa didn't know why Nangong Mingxuan asked this question. He thought about it and said, "Yes, but I only heard about it."

"Legend has it that in the Great Jade Palace, there is a drug that can make people enter a state of suspended death."

"After a person takes this medicine, they will immediately lose their heartbeat, pulse, and breathing. People who take this medicine must take the antidote within three days, otherwise they will really die."

"But this antidote is even more rare. It is only in the hands of successive emperors of the Dayu royal family."

After hearing Jun Sa's words, Nangong Mingxuan excitedly grabbed Jun Sa's hand.

"What you said is true. If you say so, Ling'er is really still alive. Ling'er is still alive."

Jun Sa was confused by Nangong Mingxuan's sudden excitement.

"Wait, Your Majesty, what did you just say? You said that Master is still alive. How is that possible? I was the one who felt Master's pulse at the time. Her heart had clearly stopped beating, she had no pulse, and she wasn't breathing..."

After Jun Sa finished his self-narration, he seemed to have thought of something.

"Your Highness...are you saying that Master might have been given a fake death drug?"

Nangong Mingxuan nodded at him.

Soon Jun Sa overturned this statement.

"Your Highness...you must be joking. That kind of medicine only exists in legends and no one has ever seen it."

"Jun Sa, I have seen Ling'er in the Great Jade Palace."

"what?"

The news from the prince was so shocking that Jun Sa was speechless.

"It's true. How could I lie to you? I just went to the imperial mausoleum to check it myself. Ling'er's body is no longer in the underground palace."

"Who do you think the person I saw who looked exactly like Ling'er could be?"

"And I saw it in the palace of Dayu. This incident was planned by the Emperor of Dayu."

"First, they used the young master of the Duke's Mansion to poison Ling'er, so that everyone would think that Ouyang Miaoyin hated Ling'er and used Ouyang Fei to poison her. Then, the motive would be justified, and we would not suspect that Ling'er's death was a conspiracy."

"Then after the matter is done, give Ling'er the antidote, and steal Ling'er away from me without anyone noticing."

"But why is the Great Jade Emperor doing this?"

Jun Sa asked back.

"That's because Dayu's current ruler is the Honored Master of Xuanming Sect. He has always liked Ling'er, but was rejected by Ling'er many times. He was desperate, so he came up with this idea to keep Ling'er by his side for life."

"Oh... I see. It was your love rival who planned all this."

Nangong Mingxuan didn't say anything, but glanced at him.

"Then Your Majesty, I still remember that when I checked the princess's pulse, I found that she was pregnant. Could that woman from the Dayu royal family who looks very similar to the princess also be pregnant?"

"That's true. She looks like she's already more than seven months pregnant."

This time, Jun Sa completely believed that the woman was his master Ouyang Miaoling.

It was incredible that his master was still alive.

"Then why don't you bring the princess back?"

Nangong Mingxuan fell silent when he heard Jun Sa's question.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "Jun Sa...he has forgotten me. I don't know what medicine that dog emperor gave Ling'er. Ling'er treats me like a stranger and doesn't remember me anymore."

"Soul Devouring Powder"

Jun Sa blurted out.

"what?"

"Your Majesty, Master was shot with the Soul Devouring Powder."
