The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

"Thank you for letting me know. I'll remember this favor." Wang Xinyao calmed herself down and nodded to the female shopkeeper.

When she walked out of the inner room, her face remained calm, but the leisure and smile in her eyes were gone.

Ouyang Ping and a few others were still enthusiastically trying out the new clothes. When they saw her come out, they called her over to have a look.

Wang Xinyao forced herself to respond with a few words.

"Sisters, Sister Ping'er, I'm a little tired from shopping, and my sweetheart must be hungry at this hour, so I'll go back first."

In the end, she could no longer suppress the worries in her heart, so she found an excuse to say goodbye to Zhao Yue'er and the others, and hurriedly boarded the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion.

The carriage wheels made a monotonous squeaking sound as they rolled over the cobblestone road.

Wang Xinyao leaned on the cushion, watching the street scene outside the window rapidly recede, but she had no intention of watching it, only frowning deeply.

The news of the Red-robed Holy Son was like a huge rock thrown into the lake of heart, stirring up a thousand waves.

Just after returning to the Prince's Mansion and before he could sit down to drink some tea, Xie Xiaogang's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Sister! Sister!" Xie Xiaogang almost ran in.

His face was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has granted me and the princess a marriage!"

Wang Xinyao looked at him, who was so happy that he almost jumped up, and temporarily suppressed her worries, with a smile on her face.

"Great! Congratulations, Xiaogang!"

She was truly happy for this brother who came from Xiejia Village with her.

Princess Zhao Yuwei and Xie Xiaogang are in love with each other, which is a good thing.

Xie Xiaogang scratched his head and chuckled, "The wedding date is set after you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's wedding. His Majesty has granted me permission to return to Xie Village to prepare for the arrangements."

"That's what I should do." Wang Xinyao nodded.

She pondered for a moment, her expression becoming more serious: "Xiaogang, when you go back, there are a few things you need to pay attention to.

Especially... I must find out where Mrs. Xie is going. This nosy old woman must not stay in Xie Village."

When Xie Pozi was mentioned, the smile on Xie Xiaogang's face faded a little, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

Back in Xiejia Village, this old hag often bullied the sister in front of her.

Her sister led the whole village to live a better and better life, but she actually dared to betray her sister. She really doesn't know how to live or die.

He nodded vigorously and assured her, "Don't worry, sister! The first thing I'll do when I get back is to find out what's going on. If she still dares to stay in Xie Village, I'll definitely make her pay!"

Wang Xinyao nodded, and gave detailed instructions on some things to pay attention to when returning home, as well as details such as how to arrange the wedding banquet.

Xie Xiaogang wrote everything down, then excitedly took his leave.

After seeing Xie Xiaogang off, Wang Xinyao didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately asked someone to invite Zhao Haoxuan. Then the two of them met Chen Qingfeng and Wang Muyun together.

In the palace where Chen Qingfeng and his wife were staying, Wang Xinyao reported the news she had received at the garment store today.

"Father, Mother, Elder Hua's disciples said that the Red Robe Saint has fled to the Miao Kingdom. They told us to be careful on our return journey."

Wang Xinyao said in a heavy tone, "This person is very powerful and cunning. If he causes trouble in the Miao Kingdom, the consequences will be disastrous."

The flickering candlelight in the hall illuminated Chen Qingfeng's resolute face.

After hearing this, he did not show much surprise, but his eyes became deeper and sharper, like a falcon ready to take flight in the dark night.

He held Wang Muyun's hand beside him and looked at Wang Xinyao.

"Yao'er, don't worry too much. Your mother and I have been through all kinds of storms over the years. He's just a red-robed saint, and he can't cause any trouble."

His voice was steady and powerful, with the confidence and composure of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, which calmed Wang Xinyao's anxious heart a little.

But her worries were not completely eliminated.

"Yao'er, Haoxuan, Miao Country is our root. Now that the villains have infiltrated, we should return as soon as possible to stabilize the situation and prevent the loss of lives."

Wang Muyun also spoke softly, her eyes gentle and firm.

Chen Qingfeng nodded: "Mu Yun is right. In that case, the original itinerary needs to be advanced. We will set off tomorrow."

"Here in the capital, with the Imperial Uncle, Eunuch Xu, and Xiao Xizi in charge, there won't be any major chaos.

According to Madam Yin, Yin Yingzi, who controls Gou Chunmei's body, can only use half of her strength, so she's not a concern."

After Zhao Haoxuan finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xinyao with worry in his eyes.

He frowned, not only worried about the Red Robe Saint, but also concerned about the Miao Kingdom's eldest prince, Chen Yingtao, who was eyeing the throne.

He had already made up his mind.

"Father, Mother!" Zhao Haoxuan stepped forward and bowed. "This trip concerns the stability of the Miao Kingdom, and also the safety of Xinyao and the children.

I am willing to go to the Miao Kingdom together and do my best to help. Luo Qing and the others will follow to deal with the betrothal gifts. After the Miao Kingdom affairs are settled, I will return to the Xia Kingdom with Xinyao."

Chen Qingfeng glanced at him, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, but he didn't refuse: "Alright. I'll feel more at ease with the Crown Prince accompanying me."

It was decided to set off early, and that night the Prince's Mansion became busy.

Wang Xinyao first went to the courtyard where Yin Zhizi lived.

The courtyard was quiet, and Xiaobao was crawling on the bed, giggling from time to time.

Yin Ping'an was making rice porridge for Xiaobao, while Yin Zhizi was sitting by the bed, following Xiaobao's movements with a loving look.

There is always an inextricable melancholy between their brows.

Yin Ping'an first saluted Wang Xinyao, and Wang Xinyao nodded for him to stand up.

Wang Xinyao walked up to Yin Zhizi and called softly, "Madam!"

"Xinyao is here." Yin Zhizi came back to her senses and quickly stood up, saying, "Don't call me Madam anymore. Now that Gou Hongying and I have divorced, I am a free person. If Xinyao doesn't mind, just call me Aunt."

"Yes, Auntie." Wang Xinyao supported her and explained her purpose directly. "We have to return to Miao Country early tomorrow. This trip may be risky, so it's inconvenient to bring Xiaobao with us. I'd like to entrust him to your care."

"Xiaobao is my grandson, so it's my responsibility to take care of him. Xinyao, don't worry, I will protect Xiaobao even if I die!"

Yin Zhizi looked at Wang Xinyao's beautiful yet resolute face, and her heart full of gratitude and reluctance finally turned into an earnest exhortation.

"It's a long journey to Miao Country. You...you must be careful and take care of yourself."

The word "hu" was pronounced with a strong accent and was very urgent, which made the expression more emotional and meaningful.

Wang Xinyao saw the disappointment that flashed across her eyes and understood.

After more than ten years of separation, the reunion is also a farewell, and the sadness is self-evident.

A warm feeling surged in her heart. She patted Yin Zhizi's calloused back of the hand with her backhand, and a reassuring smile appeared on her face.

"Aunt, please relax. With my current strength, it's difficult for ordinary people to even get close to me, let alone hurt me. You just stay here and take care of your health and take good care of Xiaobao. That will be your greatest support to me."

"Yes, Xinyao." Yin Zhizi turned his gaze to Xiaobao.

The rice porridge that Yin Ping'an had prepared was already warm. He carefully carried Xiaobao to sit on a chair with guardrails.

He took the bowl of warm rice porridge, stirred it gently with a wooden spoon, blew it cool, and then fed it to the child with great patience, mouthful by mouthful.

The other empty sleeve fell silently.

His movements were a little clumsy, but he was unusually focused and gentle. The love in his eyes for his child was exactly the same as that of a biological father, which moved all the onlookers.

Wang Xinyao looked at this scene and felt a little relieved, then turned her attention back to Yin Zhizi.

Wang Xinyao felt a little relieved. She turned her gaze back to Yin Zhizi, gazing at her aunt's pale face and dim eyes. She said seriously, "Aunt, I heard that Yin Yingzi has sealed your cultivation. Let me take a look at you. Perhaps... there will be a turnaround."

After saying that, she gestured to Yin Zhizi to sit down, and she walked forward, stretched out three fingers, and placed them on the Cun, Guan, and Chi points on Yin Zhizi's wrist.

The pulse from the fingertips was weak and sluggish, as if entangled and blocked by countless invisible threads.

Wang Xinyao held her breath and concentrated, her brows gradually furrowed.

Time passed little by little, and the room was so quiet that the only sound could be heard was the subtle sound of Xiaobao swallowing rice porridge.

After a long time, Wang Xinyao slowly let go of her hand and exhaled.

Yin Zhizi had long since given up hope, and instead revealed a bitter smile of relief.

"Xinyao, it's okay, you don't have to worry about me.

For me, perhaps it would be better to put the past behind me, be an ordinary person, and live a peaceful life with my grandchildren."

"Aunt, don't say such discouraging words." Wang Xinyao shook her head with a firm tone.

"Your situation is indeed extremely difficult. Yin Yingzi's methods are sinister and cunning. The power of the seal is entrenched in the key points of your meridians. However..."

She changed the subject, a glint of wisdom in her eyes. "It's not completely untreatable. Everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. If there is a way to confine something, there must be a way to break it."

She then turned to Yin Ping'an and ordered, "Master Yin, please wait outside. I need to give my aunt acupuncture and cannot tolerate any interruption."

Upon hearing this, Yin Ping'an immediately nodded, picked up Xiaobao who was already full, tiptoed out of the room, closed the door carefully, and stood solemnly outside.

Only Yin Zhizi and Wang Xinyao were left in the room.

Wang Xinyao took out an ancient silver needle from her storage bag and motioned Yin Zhizi to sit cross-legged and relax.

"Aunt, the process may be a little difficult, you need to be patient." Wang Xinyao reminded softly, then her eyes focused, and the aura around her suddenly became calm and deep.

She picked up a silver needle, infused the tip of the needle with spiritual power, and it trembled slightly, emitting a very slight buzzing sound. She aimed it at the Baihui point on Yin Zhizi's head and was about to stab it.

However, as soon as the needle tip approached, the skin on Yin Zhizi's body bulged slightly.

A cold and stubborn resistance emerged out of nowhere, repelling the silver needle and preventing it from penetrating at all!

"As expected of Yin Yingzi, such a sinister and overbearing ban!"

Wang Xinyao snorted coldly, but there was no sign of retreat in her eyes. Instead, she ignited an even stronger fighting spirit.

She knew that if she had not broken through to the Saint Realm and her spiritual power had not undergone a qualitative change, she would probably be helpless today.

She no longer hesitated, and took out a shiny jade bottle from her bosom, pouring out a pill the size of a longan.

As soon as the elixir came out, the room was filled with fragrance, which lifted people's spirits.

"This... this is... the golden elixir?!" Although Yin Zhizi's cultivation was sealed, his eyesight was still there, and he recognized at a glance that this was the legendary first-grade golden elixir.

This one thing is enough to cause countless cultivators to fight for it frantically.

She suddenly became excited and waved her hands repeatedly to refuse: "No! Absolutely not! Xinyao, put it away quickly! This thing is too valuable, it's a life-saving item, how can you use it on a half-useless person like me! What a waste, what a waste!"

Wang Xinyao didn't say anything. She grabbed Yin Zhizi's hand, which was cold due to excitement, and stuffed the golden pill carrying spiritual power into her mouth.

"Auntie! Do you remember? When I was a child, I lost my memory due to a shock, which made me weak and sick.

How many times have you ignored your own losses and stayed up all night using your spiritual power to warm my meridians?

How many times have you found a miracle drug, carefully brewed it, and fed it to me spoonful by spoonful? You treat me better than your own children.

Now that I have some ability, isn't it only natural for me to repay your kindness in the past?

Swallow it quickly! This pill can not only help you open the acupoints, but also nourish your foundation! "

Her words were like a warm current, breaking down the dam of Yin Zhizi's defenses.

Looking at Wang Xinyao's sincere eyes, Yin Zhizi's eyes were hot. He no longer refused and raised his head to swallow the golden pill.

The pill melted in the mouth, and a gentle yet vast warm current like the ocean instantly rushed to every part of his body.

At the same time, Wang Xinyao used her hands to circulate the extremely pure spiritual power of the saint.

The fingertips flashed with a faint golden light, and they brushed across several sealed acupoints on Yin Zhizi's body as swiftly as the wind.

Every touch would activate the meridians in Yin Zhizi's body that had been dormant for many years and seemed to be frozen by a huge rock, emitting bursts of subtle "cracking" sounds like ice breaking.

Yin Zhizi only felt that a huge rock was thrown into the dead pool of water in his body.

A long-lost power that belonged to her began to awaken, struggling but tenaciously to break against the cage that had bound it for many years.

Wherever the warm current passed, a mixture of needle-like tingling and numbness and itching came over her, causing beads of sweat to instantly break out on her forehead.

But she clenched her teeth and said nothing, her heart filled with indescribable excitement and disbelief.

"puff--!"

Suddenly, a stream of dark blood spurted out of Yin Zhizi's mouth and fell to the ground, carrying a hint of coldness.

At this moment, she felt her body suddenly lighten, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her.

The solid barrier that separated her from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth shattered!

The sealed cultivation is back!

Not only that, the powerful medicinal power of the first-grade golden elixir continued to take effect, merging with her restored spiritual power.

The aura around her began to rise steadily, and her originally listless spirit became vigorous at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her pale face became rosy and shiny.

The sense of power that had been dormant for many years once again filled every corner of the body, even stronger and purer than ever before!

After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual power surging in Yin Zhizi's body gradually subsided and returned to the Dantian Qi Sea, forming a more condensed and vast source of power.

She slowly opened her eyes, and there was a gleam of light in them, no longer cloudy and dim as before.

She felt the surging power in her body in disbelief, and her whole body trembled slightly with excitement.
