Tragic death on wedding night, replacement doctor concubine reborn to kill the whole family

“Very likely,” Xie Yun Chu replied.

Xiao Yao remained silent for a long time. "Standing in the position of the Empress Dowager, she must also be under tremendous pressure."

"I am very sure of that."

On one side was her father, the Emperor, and on the other was her uncle, Rong, who had saved her several times.

Uncle Rong has shown immense kindness to the Cangyun Kingdom, to the Emperor, and to A Yao, Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhenzhen, and others.

It can be said that without Uncle Rong, there would be no Emperor and Empress; without Emperor and Empress, there would be no him and A Yao.

"Do you think Mother and Uncle Rong will leave after only two days?"

"meeting."

Xiao Yao took a deep breath and didn't know what to say. "I feel like a child without parents. When they come to see me, they only glance at me briefly."

Xie Yun Chu was both amused and exasperated. "A Yao is the ruler of a country. Even if Father and Mother are by your side, half of your time is devoted to court officials, half to memorials, and a tiny half to me. You only have a little bit of personal time left for yourself. How can you possibly squeeze out more time to take care of Father and Mother?"

Xiao Yao: “…”

Although what she said made a lot of sense, she still felt safer if her father and mother were by her side.

"With me here, what are you worried about?"

"It's not that I'm worried, it's that I miss my mother."

Xie Yun Chu frowned. "I miss my father, mother, A Ying, Jiao Jiao, and Yun Ce too."

"Not only them, but also Little Glutinous Rice, Little Yuanzi, Little Youyou, Little Deer..."

"Yes, and them too."

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yao said, "Have the imperial kitchen prepare dinner early. We can't let Uncle Rong and Mother run away. They should at least have a meal together."

"Ah."

"Uncle, Uncle Rong, isn't Uncle Rong now considered my father too...?"

Xie Yun Chu covered her mouth, "Father may approve, but you mustn't talk nonsense. You're going to stab Father in the heart."

Xiao Yao pursed her lips, "I certainly wouldn't dare say that in front of Father."

Xie Yun Chu smiled irritably. He was truly glad that A Yao didn't like Jian Wu; otherwise, he would be in the same pain as his father right now.

Before evening.

Xiao Yao ordered Steward Zhou to invite her mother and Uncle Rong to dine at the Star Gazing Platform, but fearing something might go wrong, she instructed him, "Make sure the main gate is wide open before you go in."

Steward Zhou: "..."

So, does the Emperor know that there's something going on between that so-called Immortal Rong and his female disciple?

Not all cultivators are devoid of emotions and love, so it's not a big deal.

"Yes, I have remembered it."

Steward Zhou acknowledged and withdrew.

After arriving at the observatory, Chief Steward Zhou saw that the doors and windows were open and breathed a sigh of relief. He then went forward to deliver the Empress's decree.

Rong Xun and Su Yun both nodded in agreement.

As soon as Steward Zhou left, Su Yun looked at Rong Xun and said, "Yao'er invited us to have a meal."

"Ah."

As Rong Xun spoke, he took her hand. He couldn't hold Yun'er's hand in front of the children, in the Demon Realm, or in the Jade Seal Kingdom's palace. Only when they were in seclusion or traveling among the mountains and rivers could they hold hands without any reservations.

Su Yun grasped his hand again, "Let's go."

Rong Xun nodded and said nothing more.

As they reached the door, they naturally let go of each other's hands.

Imperial Palace Dining Hall.

Xiao Yao and Xie Yun Chu were waiting at the palace gate early in the morning.

"Mother, Uncle Rong."

Xiao Yao called out and rushed over to hug Su Yun, "You're finally here."

Su Yun smiled and comforted Xiao Yao, "From now on, I will come to see you often."

The Observatory, modeled after the Bagua formation built by the Imperial Observatory, has been completed. However, the method to truly connect to the Cangyun Kingdom and return there is still not mature.

Therefore, she knew that Rong Xun was feeling constrained here, and that they would eventually have to leave the Jade Seal Kingdom.

Hearing her mother's words, Xiao Yao was somewhat reluctant, even though she had been prepared. However, she did not show it and simply smiled and said, "Your Majesty must keep your word."

"count."

Xie Yun Chu also cupped his hands in greeting, "Mother, Uncle Rong."

Su Yun and Rong Xun nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.

The group entered the dining hall together.

----

Cangyun Kingdom, under the cover of night.

Jinzhou Laochenshan.

Three thousand guards surrounded Old Chenshan completely.

Xiao Chen received a message by carrier pigeon saying that a strange phenomenon had occurred at the thatched hut on Old Chen Mountain, so he used his martial arts skills to get to Old Chen Mountain in Jinzhou with Zhou Yiqing in just half a day.

The two arrived at Old Chen Mountain, the old lair of Chen Laodao—the entrance to the thatched hut on the mountain.

"Greetings, Regent; greetings, General Zhou." General Zhao Lei bowed to Xiao Chen and Zhou Yiqing.

"Open the door."

"Yes."

Zhao Lei pushed open the door of the thatched hut. When Xiao Chen and Zhou Yiqing walked in, Zhao Lei had already lit the candlesticks.

What they saw was no different from when they came five years ago.

Zhao Lei said, "Just last night, an extremely dazzling white light suddenly emanated from the house, illuminating the entire thatched hut almost like daytime."

Xiao Chen looked at the wooden table made of locust tree and examined it closely; it really did seem to have been blessed.

He made a hand gesture and cast a spell on the wooden table, but it had no effect.

Zhao Lei quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am absolutely not lying. The guards stationed at Old Chen Mountain all saw it. The light was truly undeniable."

Zhou Yiqing was completely confused. He had little contact with Rong Xun, but he had heard many rumors that Rong Xun was very skilled in magic. After the Imperial Observatory was destroyed and his father, mother, and others disappeared, Xiao Chen ordered the whole country to search for their whereabouts.

Later, after much deliberation, the emperor still felt that Chen Laodao's lair, Old Chen Mountain, was the most suspicious, so he ordered people to guard it.

After waiting for five whole years, we finally have news today.

“Brother, it looks no different from five years ago,” Zhou Yiqing said to Xiao Chen.

Zhao Lei explained again, "What I said is not an exaggeration, it is true."

Xiao Chen looked at Zhao Lei, who had once been a capable subordinate of General Wei Shuying and had made outstanding military achievements. Xiao Chen naturally believed what he said.

He touched the wooden table and then said, "Last night, it was very likely that Uncle Rong was using Taoist magic, which is why the strange phenomenon occurred."

Zhou Yiqing opened her mouth: "So, Father Emperor and Mother Empress are very likely still alive."

Xiao Chen nodded, "I will definitely live!"

He took a deep breath, but he didn't know how to contact Uncle Rong and the others, or how to help them!

Thinking about it, Xiao Chen took out the magical artifacts that his uncle Rong had given him and set up an array.

"Yiqing, when you go outside, you must not let anyone disturb me!"

"Yes."

Zhou Yiqing and Zhao Lei quickly left the room.

After they closed the door, they gradually saw a strong, dazzling white light emanating from the thatched hut. Zhao Lei exclaimed, "That's it! That's the light!"
