Wu Beichen didn't speak for a long time. Wu Zixu looked at him and said softly: "Uncle Qi, if you are embarrassed..."

Wu Beichen suddenly said loudly: "This old minister is not embarrassed."

He took a bow and arrow from the soldier beside him, pointed it at Wu Jiaqi, and shouted, "Rebellious son, half a year ago, you plotted against Ling Qi for the throne of the crown prince and wanted to kill your brother. I was merciful and spared your life, but it led to the disaster today. Now you want to kill everyone in the mansion, even His Majesty. You have made one mistake after another. How can I let you go again? You are my son. It is the fault of the father if he does not teach you. I shot you today, and it is your own fault. When today's matter is over, I will go to the ancestors to apologize. I hope that you can reform yourself in your next life and be a good person, but we, father and son, will never see each other again in this life."

Wu Jiaqi was caught in the hand of King Sheng, tears rolled down his eyes, but he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. Instead, King Sheng was a little panicked and shouted: "Brother, are you really going to kill your son with your own hands?"

Wu Lingqi was also shocked and turned around and shouted, "Father..."

However, Wu Beichen had made up his mind. Tears rolled down his eyes. He aimed the bow and arrow at Wu Jiaqi. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and loosened his hands. The sharp arrow, accompanied by the sound of wind, instantly shot Wu Jiaqi's heart. Blood gushed out and Wu Jiaqi also spat out blood from his mouth. He kept looking at the city wall with unwillingness in his eyes, but in the end, he was like a fallen leaf in the wind, falling off his horse, with his eyes wide open until his death.

The firing of this arrow announced that the battle had finally begun. King Sheng retreated in a hurry. The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Camp kept drawing their bows on the city wall. Below the city wall, the Liu family army was also desperately banging on the palace gate, and screams were heard one after another.

De Jong Palace.

Chu Yunxi and Queen Mother Rong were having dinner. Chu Yunxi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and gave it to Queen Mother Rong, saying, "Prince Sheng would never have thought that the people from the Tiger and Leopard Battalion had already secretly entered the palace. The General Lu Yao who stayed behind was just putting on a show with the Black Armor Battalion. When the 50,000 private soldiers arrived, the two sides would join forces to wipe them out. The Imperial Guards who came to reinforce them would turn around and attack the Liu Family Army from the front and back with the Tiger and Leopard Battalion. In addition, the terrain advantage of the palace meant that even though the Liu Family Army had a slight advantage in numbers, they couldn't move. In a panic, they would definitely be in disarray. When the Black Armor Battalion and the Imperial Guards completely returned to defend, the Liu Family Army would be completely finished."

Queen Mother Rong smiled and said, "That's right. Prince Sheng originally thought he had a sure win, but he never expected that he would become a turtle in a jar."

“So, as a person, you should be content and not covet things that do not belong to you,” said Chu Yunxi.

The two smiled at each other. It was a rare experience to have a meal in peace and quiet amid the deafening shouting and screaming outside.

It was not until the afternoon that the noise outside gradually subsided. After a while, Xiao Mubei returned to Derong Palace first and brought back the latest news.

Prince Sheng has been captured alive, the Liu family army was defeated, the biological father of Princess Sheng, General Liu, the commander of the Liu family army, was beheaded, 50,000 of the Liu family soldiers surrendered and 30,000 were killed, Wu Jiaqi was shot dead by Wu Beichen in front of the battle, Prince Sheng's mansion has been confiscated, all the advisers, soldiers and their families have been captured. After being captured, Prince Sheng was still clamoring, saying that the emperor had been poisoned and only he had the antidote. If he died, the emperor would soon come to accompany him.

Wu Zixu told him that his poison had been cured by Princess Dingbei long ago. Prince Sheng was unwilling to believe it, but no one cared whether he believed it or not. The emperor ordered his men to put him in the Sky Prison, and Prince Qi led the Tiger and Leopard Battalion to clean up the mess. This chaos finally came to an end.

Chu Yunxi said: "It's a pity that the person who poisoned has not been found. It will always be a disaster."

Queen Mother Rong said, "It's okay. There are not many people who can get close to the prince and poison him. I will check them one by one and find out who it is. Now that Prince Sheng has been defeated, I think that person will not dare to act rashly again."

Chu Yunxi nodded, "This person was able to poison silently, so he must be hiding deep inside. The Queen Mother should investigate carefully."

Queen Mother Rong curled her lips slightly, "Don't worry, Yunxi, since he dared to attack the emperor, I will definitely make him regret being born as a human."

Chu Yunxi understood that Queen Mother Rong was not a soft-hearted person, otherwise she would not have sat on the position of Queen Mother, so she felt relieved at the moment.

That night, the palace was brightly lit and people were coming and going, but Derong Palace was as quiet as usual. Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi went to bed early. In the middle of the night, Xiao Mubei turned over and hugged Chu Yunxi as usual, but she was cold all over. He shuddered and woke up immediately. He called out a few times tentatively, but Chu Yunxi didn't respond. He realized that what he was worried about happened again. Chu Yunxi had lost her soul again.

Fortunately, it was not the first time, and he was not as flustered as the first time. However, he could not fall asleep again. He had to hold Chu Yunxi's hand, meditate and regulate his breathing, while slowly transferring some internal energy from Chu Yunxi's palm to her, trying to make her body warmer.

After experiencing the familiar feeling of dizziness, Chu Yunxi returned home again as expected, but this time it was a little later than last time. Chu's father and mother had already returned to their room to rest, while another Chu Yunxi was painting in the room. Under the bright light, her expression was focused, and the door was not closed, as if she was waiting for her on purpose.

Chu Yunxi looked at the peaceful eyes and brows of her other self for a while and felt that the scene was a little unreal, as if she was looking in a mirror, but it was a completely different feeling.

As she was watching, she saw Chu Yunxi put down her paintbrush, sighed faintly, and said to herself: "It seems that you will not come again tonight."

Her face was full of disappointment. She was actually waiting for Chu Yunxi. She got up, closed the door, dimmed the lights, and started to pack up the drawing board.

Chu Yunxi suddenly found it a little funny. The other party seemed to be waiting for her lover, leaving the door open every night, but she had no way to control when he would come, so she sat in front of the computer and turned it on.

The other Chu Yunxi had just finished packing up her drawing board. When she looked up, she saw that the computer had turned on by itself. She was immediately surprised and ran to the computer. She whispered to the empty chair, "You're here, right?"

Chu Yunxi opened the document and typed "hmm".

The other Chu Yunxi was happy, and hurriedly dragged a chair over from the side and sat down, and asked: "Why haven't you come for so many days? I thought you wouldn't come."

Chu Yunxi typed, "I don't know how I got here. I just left it to fate. I don't know if it's good to always be out of body like this. I heard that the last time I came here, your body was cold over there."
