next morning.

After Lu Zhaoling washed up and went out, she saw Zhou Shiyue sitting under the locust garden drinking something. When he saw her come out, he looked over with a slightly sad expression.

When Lu Zhaoling saw his expression, she burst out laughing.

"What did my master and fellow apprentice say to you last night?"

Zhou Shiyue said, "Just one sentence, be careful when the spell is just broken, get more rest, go to bed early and get up early to keep your body healthy."

Lu Zhaoling imagined his master saying these words calmly and couldn't help laughing again.

"Actually, I think Master is right."

Zhou Shiyue snorted.

Anyway, they are getting married next month.

"By the way, Qingmu and the others are back." Zhou Shiyue said to Lu Zhaoling.

"came back?"

Lu Zhaoling actually had a bad feeling in his heart.

Before that, she asked Qingmu to take a few people to walk around the city, holding talismans, and mark any place with strong evil spirits.

But Aoki and his companions did not return for three days.

This shows that there must be a lot of evil spirits in the capital.

Speaking of Aoki, Aoki came over with the other Aos.

"princess."

Lu Zhaoling turned to look at Qingmu and stood up immediately.

"Aoki, where have you been?"

In her eyes, Qingmu was completely dark, full of bad luck and evil spirits.

The same is true for the people behind Aoki, but they are better than Aoki, at least they can still be seen.

"Princess, Qingmu has been protecting us and walking in front." Qingsong, Qingbai and others said.

Qingmu stepped forward and said, "Princess, please help me purify it..."

He had a feeling about it, so after he came back, he stayed in front of the yard and didn't go into the house to meet anyone.

He just told Qinglin to call him after the princess got up.

If he hadn't realized that something was wrong with his condition, he would have come back tomorrow.

"What's going on..."

As Lu Zhaoling spoke, he took out a golden pen, drew a huge purification symbol in the air, and waved it towards them.

The purification talisman passed directly in front of them, making a hissing sound and emitting a fine mist.

Zhou Shiyue also saw Qingmu’s black mass.

It was also the first time he saw the purification talisman emit white mist when passing through them.

Aoki and the others were purified, their complexion restored, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sit down and answer."

Seeing that they were all almost exhausted, Lu Zhaoling asked them to sit down, and asked Qingyin and Qingbao to get some ginseng soup. It was a medicinal soup prepared by the master himself, which was useful for people like them to strengthen their bodies, boost their energy and consolidate their essence.

"what happened?"

"Princess, several of my subordinates have run almost all over the city and found that there are evil spirits in many places."

Aoki said, "The amulet was getting slightly hot every day, but last night it completely lost its effect."

"Well, when evil spirits invade, the amulet will only weaken its power little by little and will not burn up all at once." Lu Zhaoling said.

"But the bad luck you have is too serious. Where did you go yesterday?" she asked.

Yin Changxing and others also came over and helped Rong Jingjing and Aunt Liu bring breakfast.

"Aoki fell into a dry well yesterday." Qingsong answered for him, "Because when we passed by, we heard someone calling for help. A child fell into the dry well."

Yin Changxing and others also moved chairs over and sat down, listening to them talk.

"When we were close to the well, the evil spirits were already sensed, and it was very hot, but there was indeed a child who fell into the well, and Qingmu went down to save him."

Qingbai also said, "After the child was rescued, it was obvious that he was very frightened. At that time, he was very scared and shouted, "Don't push me..."

Rong Jingjing was surprised, "So someone pushed him down the well?"

“Not necessarily…” It’s a person.

Before Lu Zhaoling could finish her words, Uncle Liu brought Lord Chen in.

"Miss, Master Chen said there is something urgent."

As soon as Lord Chen saw Lu Zhaoling, he shouted as if he had seen a relative, "Miss Lu, something big has happened."

"Uh, so early, the prince is here too?" When he saw Zhou Shiyue, his expression immediately changed.

My goodness, as long as the prince is around, he will always be displeased with him.

His old face isn't as pretty as Miss Lu's, but it's not right for the prince to always dislike him.

"Is this your home?" Zhou Shiyue glanced over coldly.

Every time he saw Chen Deshan, he wanted to twist his head, and he didn't know why.

"No, no, no. I'm just asking out of concern. I'm just worried that Your Highness didn't sleep well last night since he came so early..." Lord Chen's waist suddenly bent a little.

"Stop talking nonsense. What happened?" Zhou Shiyue shouted.

"Yes, yes, I won't waste any more words." Lord Chen turned to Lu Zhaoling, "Many people came to report to the officials, saying that their children were missing!"

"The child is missing?"

"Yes, I questioned them carefully and found that the missing children were all over five and under ten years old. They were all playing near their homes when they disappeared."

Lord Chen was sweating profusely and was really anxious at the moment.

"There were seven children in total, and they all came to report the crime this morning. They were all missing yesterday evening. They had been looking for them all night, and only came today when the government office opened. They almost blocked my door."

"This situation is obviously very strange. I asked the yamen runners to go out and look for someone, and I rushed to find you myself."

As Mr. Chen spoke, he coughed dryly. Seeing this, Qingbao poured him a glass of water.

"Thank you, Miss Qingbao. Miss Qingbao is beautiful and kind-hearted." Lord Chen took the drink gratefully and praised her.

Qingbao: “…”

Lord Chen is really good at talking.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Qingmu.

"Princess, will this be the same as the situation of the child I rescued?"

Aoki looked solemn after hearing this.

They had not yet finished talking about the child who fell into the well when Lord Chen started talking about the other seven children.

They are all children.

"Have you sent the child you rescued back home?" Lu Zhaoling asked Qingmu.

Aoki nodded and said, "Yes, after we rescued him, his family came and carried the child back."

"We followed them and found that their home was not far away. The family said that the child was playing by himself at the door. He would not run around before, so the family was relieved. When they wanted to call him home for dinner, they found that he was gone."

"How old is the child?"

"About five or six years old."

Lord Chen looked at Lu Zhaoling and then at Qingmu.

"A child is in trouble, too? This situation is very similar to what the families who reported to the police said!"

He slapped his thigh and said to Lu Zhaoling, "Miss Lu, do you think I am alert enough? This must be a special case!"

He was an honest and good official, and now he was devoted to the people. He came to Lu Zhaoling in such a hurry because he was worried that something might happen to those children.

In the past, he would have been lucky if he could have asked the yamen runners to look for him.
