Zhao Zhuoxi didn't really care about Su Rui, but went down the mountain directly.

He was still certain that the princess beside him at this moment was not Jiang Jiu, but Su Man.

He wanted to find someone to ask where his Jiang Jiu had gone.

Or was it that this princess was so good at pretending that he actually thought she was Jiang Jiu?

After returning to the palace, Zhao Zhuoxi moved back into the small courtyard where Jiang Jiu lived.

Although the yard had been cleaned up, Zhao Zhuoxi could still find the feeling of being with Jiang Jiu in the past.

The familiar scent of osmanthus and the familiar crabapple flowers.

He could never forget them.

Finally, at midnight, Lu Ming and Nishang came back from outside.

As soon as Lu Ming came back, his face looked a little gloomy.

"Your Highness, I've found out. There's indeed a sorcery called the Soul Locking Formation in the royal temple. It's said that as long as you can find the deceased's hair, nails, etc., and then the birth date of the deceased, you can lock the deceased's soul with you."

"The Third Prince did this before."

Nishang also said: "I have also found out in the palace that the emperor has a demon monk in his palace who knows this kind of magic. The emperor may have locked the queen's soul with him. They say that the emperor is always talking to himself in the palace..."

Zhao Zhuoxi was still puzzled: "Why did they lock Xiaojiu's soul?"

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "It should be because of the thing that Madam lit..."

"The bomb was so powerful that the entire Kunning Palace collapsed. The ground collapsed three feet, revealing the secret passage inside."

"If it were developed and used in warfare, it would surely be invincible and unstoppable..."

Zhao Zhuoxi nodded: "I know this thing. Xiao Yimo has already made it. He has a pistol, a cannon, bullets and shells, but they are too few and not enough for war..."

"What I want now is not these, but who wants to lock Xiaojiu's soul, what is the purpose of locking the soul, and who do they want to deal with?"

Nichang pursed her lips: "It must be to deal with the prince... The emperor is no longer a concern, could it be Prince Ling..."

Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes flashed.

Half a year ago, other countries wanted to attack Daning. At that time, the court was short of manpower, so the emperor sent Zhao Zhuoran to lead troops to fight the enemy.

Now half a year has passed. The war should have been over long ago, but Zhao Zhuoran has not returned yet.

The most crucial thing is that the queen's bedroom was bombed, and Zhao Zhuoxi originally had the opportunity to ascend the throne as emperor, but at that time, Zhao Zhuoran did not come back.

Now it's like he's disappeared.

"Is there any movement from Sixth Brother's side?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "Not yet. Our people can't deliver any news. After we went to the border, the Sixth Prince's guard was as tight as an iron barrel."

Zhao Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes slightly. "If Sixth Brother hadn't been born with six fingers, his talent would have been on par with Third Brother's. Even if Big Brother later became the Emperor, he wouldn't have been of much help. The court could still function without Big Brother, but without him, it would be in chaos..."

As early as after Zhao Zhuoxi returned to Beijing, he had gradually realized Zhao Zhuoran's strength, but he was anxious to deal with Prime Minister Zhou and the Queen.

Now it seems that he was still negligent.

"Go and bring that evil monk to me. I want to know how to resurrect Jiang Jiu. This evil monk must have the method..."

Lu Ming and Nishang looked at each other awkwardly and agreed resolutely.

Back at the villa, Zhao Zhuoxi quietly left and did not return for the whole night.

Suman didn't know where he had gone.

When I woke up the next day and was about to send someone to look for her, Mrs. Su came in with Su Ruier.

"Man'er, did you sleep well? Mom and Rui'er are here to accompany you, be happy."

Su Man gave a polite fake smile, glanced at Su Rui with an arrogant look, and pointed to the seat beside her.

"Mom, sit down. Su Rui, sit down and have some tea."

Qiuyue first poured a cup of tea for each of the three people.

Mrs. Su looked at Su Man with satisfaction and was very pleased.

"You've been married to the prince for so long. Now that he's awake, I know you're blessed. I say it was a good thing you married me that day."

Madam Su's affection did not seem fake. Although she was not her biological daughter, she had raised her for fifteen years after all, so she would have feelings for her even if it was a kitten or a puppy.

But this look of thanks to her for all the advice and calculations made Su Man not know what to say.

It was Princess Zhaoyang who suggested the situation of her granddaughter to the emperor, and the emperor issued an order to grant the marriage to bring good luck, but she acts as if it was all her credit.

Madam Su continued, "You don't know, when you married into the palace, I heard that the Qin family's second wife and Qin Qing also moved in. I was so worried about you..."

Su Rui also added, "Yes, Mom couldn't eat or sleep well because she was worried that you would be wronged. She cried in front of Grandma several times. Fortunately, Grandma sent Chunhua and the others to help you..."

They were all maids in the Su Mansion. Qiuyue knew that this was not the case, but she did not dare to say anything.

Madam Su continued, "Now it's all right. Let's take this opportunity to stay in the villa for a few more days, and we can have a good chat..."

Su Man drank a sip of tea and wanted Su Rui to climb onto the prince's bed, right?

Thinking of what she saw last night, her heart ached.

Looking at Su Rui again, she was smiling, but her eyes were scanning the room, probably trying to find the prince.

At this time, Dongyue came to report.

"Princess, they said the prince had to go down the mountain for something important, and asked you to stay here for a few more days and come back after the prince has finished his business."

Su Man smiled coldly. Well, now it’s bad. The prince is not here. They came at a really bad time.

When Su Rui heard this, she also felt aggrieved.

Everyone said that the King of Qi had a violent temper, but he was really handsome and very gentle to others.

They were getting along fine yesterday, why did he leave?

If she had known that the King of Qi would wake up, she would have married him...

Madam Su didn't expect that the prince would leave as soon as they arrived.

After saying a few simple words, she left and quickly asked the maidservant beside her to return to the capital to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince.

Zhao Zhuoxi also got the news quickly.

"If they can't bring the dead back to life, they can use a corpse to revive the soul. As expected, that evil monk has some skills. Can we find out who is behind this?"

Lu Ming clasped his hands together and said, "Master, it's Grand Secretary Qin and Prince Ling. In addition, Princess Zhaoyang is also involved..."

Zhao Zhuoxi frowned. "Prince Ling and Grand Secretary Qin have been colluding for a long time. That's fine, but why did Princess Zhaoyang get involved..."

Lu Ming said, "One of her granddaughters has the same horoscope as Madam. Moreover, that evil monk said that Princess Zhaoyang is mainly interested in Madam's money..."

Zhao Zhuoxi had a disgusted expression on her face: "She's a princess of a country, and her family is really poor?"

Lu Ming: “…”

Princess Zhaoyang was not poor, she just liked to do business. She failed every time she tried to do business. She tried again and again, but she kept trying and lost all her money.

Fortunately, she had a generous dowry, so she didn't lose everything.

Now that I know that Zhao Zhuoxi's wife is the richest person in Jiangnan, I am very jealous.

Nishang asked, "Prince, what should we do now? Can my wife come back?"

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled evilly: "Resurrection... She will come back."
