After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

In the Zhao Palace, seeing that no guards dared to move forward, the Zhao King took two steps forward and said to the ghost: "Yan'er, she is our daughter, let her go!"

It would have been better if Prince Zhao hadn't said anything. As soon as he said this, the female ghost grabbed Princess Xiyue's neck and lifted her up.

Princess Xiyue's feet were off the ground and her neck was being strangled. She could only flap her legs and struggle desperately.

Seeing that Princess Xiyue was about to die of suffocation, Jindou hurried forward and swung the bright yellow talisman in his hand towards the female ghost.

The talisman caught fire when it came into contact with the wind, and turned into a golden light that shot straight towards the female ghost. The female ghost screamed in pain and loosened her hands that were strangling Princess Xiyue's neck.

Princess Xiyue fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the female ghost suddenly stretched out her hand again. Her arm suddenly grew several feet long. Her sharp nails shone with cold light and grabbed straight towards the golden bean.

"Ah!" Everyone standing behind Jindou screamed in fear. Wei Qing was even more frightened. He took a step forward and was about to protect Jindou, but Jindou did not retreat but advanced. He took a step forward, raised his hand, and another bright yellow talisman flew out, turning into golden light and hitting the female ghost's outstretched arm.

The female ghost screamed and instantly turned into a puff of black smoke, floating into the remote courtyard in the corner of the palace.

Seeing the female ghost disappear, everyone in the yard breathed a sigh of relief. King Zhao hurried forward and helped Princess Xiyue up.

Looking at the purple pinch mark on her daughter's neck, she asked distressedly, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Princess Xiyue shook her head and asked King Zhao in fear, "Father...Father, didn't my mother pass away? What...what happened just now?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the princess passed away more than two years ago. Wasn't she already buried in a coffin? What...what's going on?" The prefect of Lezhou asked tremblingly.

"Yes, Your Highness, what is going on?" Everyone in the yard asked King Zhao in panic.

Seeing King Zhao standing there without saying a word for a long time, Jindou stepped forward and said, "I will answer this question on behalf of the prince."

She looked at everyone and spoke slowly, "In fact, when Princess Zhao was buried, there was only an empty coffin. In fact, Princess Zhao's body has been left in the palace by the prince!"

"This... How is this possible?" As soon as Jindou finished speaking, someone asked in disbelief: "How could the prince do such a thing?"

"That's right," someone in the crowd whispered, "The princess has been dead for over two years now. How could her body still be preserved?"

Jindou ignored the crowd's comments and turned to Prince Zhao, adding, "Furthermore, the prince's palace purchases a large amount of medicinal herbs every year. They claim they're for the prince's consumption, but in reality, they're all made into pills and fed to Princess Zhao."

Jindou stared at Prince Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, is what I said true or false?"

King Zhao's face turned pale when he heard Jin Dou's words. Everyone was shocked and asked, "Could this... is this true?"

"What's even more abominable is..." Jindou stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, in order to revive the princess, you actually listened to the Taoist priest's lies and had someone capture a premature baby and feed it to the princess using its heart blood. Over the past two years, Your Highness, how many innocent babies have you murdered for your own selfish desires?"

As soon as Jindou finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

"This...is this true? How could the prince be so cruel?"

"This...isn't this a sin!" Everyone looked angry.

"No, this isn't true," Princess Xiyue said after hearing Jindou's words. She rushed to Prince Zhao, grabbed his clothes with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Father, tell them this isn't true! Tell them now, Father!"

No matter how his daughter shook him, the King of Zhao remained silent.

"Your Highness, in fact, the princess has already been reincarnated. The one just now was just an evil ghost who borrowed the princess's body," Jindou said to King Zhao word by word.

"No, that's my princess!" King Zhao finally spoke angrily.

"How could the prince's princess be like this?" Jindou said, "The one just now was originally an evil ghost. Because of the many evil deeds she committed in her life, she was unable to enter the three reincarnation cycles. Therefore, her soul has been wandering around until she saw the princess's corpse and borrowed it. The Taoist priest in the prince's mansion nourishes her with elixirs and blood every day, and now her evil power has greatly increased."

"Then, let's leave here quickly," someone said hurriedly after hearing Jindou's words.

"Yes, let's run away quickly while the evil ghost is not here," another person said.

Just when everyone in the palace was about to escape, they saw the evil ghost slowly walking out from the corner again, and in one hand, he was holding a Taoist priest like a chicken.

The Taoist priest was struggling desperately with his legs in the clutches of the evil spirit. He caught sight of King Zhao and hurriedly called out for help: "Your Majesty, please help me!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the evil ghost picked up the Taoist priest and threw him hard against the wall next to him. The Taoist priest hit the wall hard and fell down again. His body moved twice and then he became silent.

"Ah!" Everyone took a step back in fear. Suddenly, King Zhao ran to the evil ghost like crazy, grabbed the evil ghost's clothes with his hands, and shouted desperately: "Tell me, who are you? Where is my Yan'er? Where did you take my Yan'er?"

The evil ghost was grabbed by King Zhao and immediately became angry and humiliated. He stretched out his hands and strangled King Zhao's neck fiercely.

Seeing this, Wei Qing hurriedly rushed forward with his sword, but was stopped by Jin Dou: "Brother, let me handle it."

Knowing that the evil spirits were too powerful, Jindou chanted a spell and invited all the mountain gods out.

In the yard, the Five Mountains Gods stood in each corner, holding talismans in their golden fingers and waving them towards the evil ghost's face. The talismans spontaneously combusted when encountering the wind, turning into golden light and hitting the evil ghost in the face. The evil ghost screamed and loosened his hands, and King Zhao immediately collapsed to the ground.

The evil ghost turned into a puff of black smoke and tried to escape, but the Five Mountains Gods spit out golden light from their mouths, knocking the evil ghost back to its original form and firmly fixing it in the center of the yard.

Jindou took the opportunity to step forward, drew a talisman in the air a few times, and then stuck it on the evil ghost's face. With a shrill scream, the evil ghost turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated in the air.

******

In the prison of Lezhou Prefecture, two yamen runners opened one of the cell doors after seeing Wei Qing coming in.

Wei Qing stepped inside, and the smell of mold and decay immediately filled his mouth and nose.

In the corner, the dishevelled King of Zhao had long lost his former spirit. Seeing Wei Qing come in, he struggled to his feet and said, "Sir Wei, I am truly grateful for your willingness to come."

Wei Qing stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Your Majesty has summoned me here. I wonder why?"

"Sir Wei," King Zhao said, looking at Wei Qing, "I know my sins are grave, and my time is running out. The only thing I am worried about is my daughter."

"Sir Wei, I would like to entrust my daughter to you. I beg you to bring my daughter back to the capital." As soon as he finished speaking, King Zhao knelt down to Wei Qing.

Seeing this, Wei Qing hurriedly supported the King of Zhao with his hands and said, "Your Highness, I already have someone I like. Please forgive me for being unable to help you with this matter."

Already have someone you like? King Zhao was stunned for a moment, then he continued to say: "If Lord Wei dislikes my daughter because she is the daughter of a criminal, you can take her into your house and make her a concubine."

"Your Highness," the King of Zhao had just finished speaking when Wei Qing said decisively, "I have only one person by my side. Please find someone else you love."
