Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

General Xiao came out from the emperor's place and stood outside, looking up at the sky in despair.

After a while, he turned around and walked towards Concubine Xiao's palace.

In the hall behind him, the emperor sat at the top with a frown on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Lao Gui, why do you think that brat is hiding his strength?"

His tone was full of regret. His original intention was to force Mu Jinning and let him know that he was not the only one who could be the crown prince of Tianmu Kingdom.

But he didn't expect that he would be able to leave with that disaster star without hesitation.

That woman, who did not inherit her mother's physique, why did she attract his most outstanding son so much?

Is it really because of the insect?

What none of them expected was that Mu Jinning had been hiding his strength all along.

Controlling all iron weapons? With such an incredible ability, how could the enemy country defeat him on the battlefield?

He will soon be able to realize his dream of unifying the continent.

"Long Yi, take a few people with you and follow them. Find a way to separate them and bring the prince back."

After a pause, he continued, "As for those two disaster stars, find a way to drive them abroad."

As long as they leave Tianmu Kingdom, it would be best if they die outside, so that it will not affect the fate of his country.

He wanted to make the founding country stronger and bigger, not to destroy it.

"Is the Imperial Master's whereabouts known? Yu Su's whereabouts are also unknown?"

Eunuch Gui raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Your Majesty, the people in the Marquis' Mansion said that one night some time ago, they heard screams in Miss Zhong's yard, and then Yusu disappeared."

The emperor frowned tightly, unable to suppress the shock in his voice. He almost lost his composure and stood up: "She is so powerful that she can kill Yusu?"

Eunuch Gui didn't say anything. Yu Su was nowhere to be found alive or dead. Who knew if she had killed her?

But that young lady was a scourge to the gods, and she might have really killed Yu Su.

"I asked the young monk and the others, and it seems that the Imperial Master also went out that night and never came back."

The emperor opened his mouth, and a serious look flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that even the Imperial Master was harmed by her?

But how did she do it?

No, the Imperial Master has been protecting her for so many years, and she doesn't look like such a cruel person.

What happened in the middle?

"Go and find out more clearly what happened that night."

Eunuch Gui was helpless: "I have asked everywhere, but the servants in the mansion dare not approach. They have no idea what happened."

"However, I also heard that Miss Zhong seemed to have been assassinated on her way back home that night. Yu Su arrived later, and it is said that the eldest lady was unhappy."

As for whether Zhong Ran killed Yu Su for this reason, he really didn't know.

The emperor fell silent. If she had killed both the Imperial Master and Yusu, it would be useless even if he sent out experts.

"Forget it, Long Yi, you guys should just not go. Just let them do whatever they want."

After thinking it over carefully, he decided it would be better not to provoke those two disaster stars.

Anyway, he has many sons and he is still young, so he can slowly cultivate an outstanding and obedient son.

Eunuch Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Qingran had done him a favor in the past, otherwise he would not have the status he has today.

However, as a servant, he could do nothing. He hoped that the young lady and the young master could live well.

Concubine Xiao was walking back and forth in her palace when she received news that Prince Ning had left the capital.

She even found out that Prince Ning had sold a lot of his private property.

That brat clearly left and didn't plan to come back.

When she saw General Xiao coming in, she threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.

"Father, Ning'er, how could he be so cruel? As his mother, I have always been doing this for his own good. Why doesn't he understand?"

General Xiao looked at his daughter, who was crying so hard that she was about to die, and did not speak for a long time.

When he was chatting with Mu Jinning that night, he had actually confirmed his guess.

That is not the real King Ning.

Prince Ning had been by his side for so many years that he was familiar with his every word, action, and gesture.

That man was just wearing Ning'er's appearance, but he was not actually King Ning.

He guessed that something they didn't know about must have happened when he was poisoned and unconscious.

He originally wanted to find the national teacher to ask about the mystery, but before he could do so, the national teacher disappeared.

"Perhaps, he is no longer Ning'er." He sighed softly.

He was the one who taught Ning'er martial arts, and he knew best that he didn't have that kind of ability at all.

The only explanation is that Prince Ning was possessed by a powerful being.

He even suspected that the girl Zhong Ran had also been possessed by another spirit.

He had Zhong Ran's past thoroughly investigated, but there was no sign that she had learned martial arts from a master, yet she suddenly became extremely powerful, which in itself was controversial.

What's more, the changes before and after Zhong Ran happened to coincide with the changes before and after Mu Jinning.

The two of them may have known each other before, otherwise there would be no explanation. Mu Jinning, who was obviously not happy about the marriage before, suddenly became obsessed and insisted on being nice to her, and even rejected Xiao Ruoxuan.

Xiao Ruoxuan once went to the military camp to find him in person. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts and have always had a good relationship.

If there was anything wrong, it was that when he was seriously ill and about to die, he wanted to find someone to bring good luck, but the Xiao family backed out.

He sighed quietly, and suddenly thought, what if the Xiao family had not backed down, but let Xiao Ruoxuan marry into the Ning Wang Mansion to bring good luck.

What would happen if the current Prince Ning woke up and found that he had married?

When Concubine Xiao heard his words, she raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at him blankly.

"Father, what did you say?"

"I said, Ning'er is no longer the Ning'er we are familiar with, ever since he woke up."

General Xiao did not hide anything and told everyone his findings and speculations.

Concubine Xiao fell to the ground and hesitated for a while before asking, "Father, then tell me, who is he? Is my Ning'er really..."

General Xiao said softly, "If I'm not mistaken, the elixir that appeared some time ago must have been taken by him."

"Combining his strength with Zhong Ran's, they should be immortal cultivators."

Only such a strong person has the means to be reborn by borrowing a corpse.

Concubine Xiao fell into the chair, her head buzzing.

So, she missed the son of a cultivator?

After a long while, she asked bitterly, "Father, did I do something wrong?"

General Xiao's eyes were filled with bitterness. It wasn't just her fault. He was the one who was wrong.

Although he had suspicions for a long time, he allowed his daughter to do so, slowly forcing the man away from them.
