The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

"It's Li'er!"

Madam Qi said with heartache, "That day I got up in the middle of the night and saw Li'er standing in the hall, looking like she was possessed."

“I asked her what happened, but she wouldn’t tell me.”

"He just kept muttering things like that he was sincere and that the sun and moon could bear witness to it."

"I tried to persuade her for ages, but she wouldn't go back to her room. She just stood there in the hall all night!"

Madam Qi clutched her handkerchief in a panic. "Master, do you think something might have happened to Li'er...?"

"Why didn't you tell me about something so important!" Grand Tutor Qi was somewhat angry.

"I..." Madam Qi didn't dare to look at him, and lowered her head. "I was just afraid you would worry."

"At the time, I just thought it was a girl's private matter."

“How can I tell you something like this…” Madam Qi glanced at him, “Telling you will only make Li’er get scolded by you more.”

Grand Tutor Qi sighed and instructed his servants, "Go and call the young lady here. Tell her I have something to ask her."

After a while, the maid came in and reported back, looking flustered.

"Master, Madam, something terrible has happened!"

"The young lady has fainted!"

"what happened!"

Madam Qi was very anxious and went straight to Qi Huali's room.

"Master," Grand Tutor Qi said to Zhai Rongyu with some concern, "could we trouble you to make another trip?"

He always felt that Li'er's illness was related to this formation.

Zhai Rongyu nodded, recalling the dark aura on Qi Huali's face.

If the evil energy is not completely eliminated, the Qi family will never have a peaceful day.

Even if we manage to win over Grand Tutor Qi, I fear he will have no interest in politics.

The two then went together to Qi Huali's room.

As soon as Zhai Rong entered the room, she saw Qi Huali lying on the bed, with Madam Qi sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hand and wiping away tears.

"A master!" Madam Qi immediately stood up upon seeing Zhai Rongyu. "Please, master, examine Li'er..."

Zhai Rongyu walked over and saw that Qi Huali's eyes were closed and the black aura on the wound on his face was deeper than before.

Bloodlust and resentment are the best sources of evil.

Go and fetch a bowl of water.

Zhai Rong said to Madam Qi.

Madam Qi immediately instructed her maid to bring her a bowl of water.

Zhai Rongyu raised her hand and drew a talisman, dissolved it in water, and ordered her maid to feed it to Qi Huali.

He closed his eyes again, opened his third eye, and used his spiritual power to draw a Bagua diagram in the void.

"Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of all things."

"Golden light appeared swiftly, covering and protecting the true person."

"With penetrating insight and perfect understanding, depart!"

A faint golden light emanated from her, and her sleeves swayed without wind.

A golden Bagua diagram suddenly appeared in the air.

When Grand Tutor Qi and his wife saw this, they were both astonished.

The maid standing to the side covered her mouth and nose with her hand, her eyes wide open.

This...this is amazing...

As Zhai Rongyu pushed the Bagua formation forward, it covered Qi Huali's body and then disappeared.

The dark energy on Qi Huali's scar struggled for a moment before dissipating.

Madam Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Look! Li'er's facial wounds have healed!"

When Grand Tutor Qi approached, he saw that Qi Huali's face was clean and fresh, without a single wound!

"Thank you so much, sir!"

Grand Tutor Qi and his wife were extremely grateful.

"polite."

Zhai Rong responded faintly, and saw Qi Huali slowly wake up.

"Li'er!" Madam Qi stepped forward and took her hand.

"Mother..." Qi Huali called out to Madam Qi, and then saw Zhai Rongyu there as well. Her expression immediately changed. "What is she doing here!"

"Mother, get her out of here!"

"Insolence!" Grand Tutor Qi's face turned pale, and his tone became stern. "A master saved your life. You have no gratitude, but how can you be so rude!"

"She saved me?" Qi Huali scoffed. "How could that be!"

"I've become like this all because of her!"

Madam Qi sighed and ordered her maid to bring a bronze mirror.

“Li’er, what your father said is true.”

"You just fainted, and it was indeed a master who saved you; we all saw it with our own eyes."

“And look,” she said, handing the bronze mirror to Qi Huali, “the wounds on your face have healed.”

Qi Huali stared in astonishment at her perfectly intact face reflected in the mirror.

She raised her hand and touched it. "My face... my face is healed...?"

Then he laughed excitedly, "Hahaha, my face is healed!"

"Mother!" She sat up and grabbed Madam Qi's hand. "I'm back to my old ways!"

"Yes," Madam Qi said, looking at her with affection. "This is all thanks to Miss Zhai. You must thank her properly."

Qi Huali glanced at Zhai Rongyu somewhat uncomfortably.

Seeing that she had no expression, he gave an awkward hum and turned his head away.

“This child…” Madam Qi shook her head helplessly.

"No need for thanks," Zhai Rongyu said, not wanting to force the issue. "Miss Qi only needs to answer a few questions for me."

Qi Huali turned to look at her, her face still showing some hesitation.

"Your mother said the other day that you stood in the hall all night. Is that true?"

Qi Huali bit her lip and nodded.

Who instigated this?

"No one instructed me. It was me... it was my own free will."

"If you did it willingly, then for whom?"

"I..." Qi Huali stammered, unwilling to speak.

Grand Tutor Qi stepped forward, looking at his daughter with a serious expression. "This matter concerns the lives of everyone in the Qi family; it is no small matter! You must tell the expert the truth!"

Qi Huali looked away, her eyes flashing with stubbornness.

Madam Qi's face was flushed, and her breathing was rapid. "Li'er! Don't be willful anymore!"

"This person used the Soul-Stealing Array to try and harm our entire Qi family! You've seen how many people in our family have been injured these past few days!"

A crack appeared on Qi Huali's face, and her expression softened slightly.

Zhai Rongyu said calmly, "The reason your facial injury hasn't healed for so long is also because of this formation."

"Is this person, who used you to harm your parents, worth protecting like this?"

"Impossible!" Qi Huali's voice trembled, still refusing to believe it. "How could the Crown Prince harm us!"

It was the Crown Prince!

Grand Tutor Qi and his wife froze as if they had been electrocuted.

How... How is it possible...

Grand Tutor Qi had long since submitted to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince had previously trusted the Qi family implicitly. How could he possibly treat them like this?!

Grand Tutor Qi's heart sank as if it were filled with lead.

Zhai Rongyu narrowed her eyes and lowered her head thoughtfully.

She remembered that in the original book, the Crown Prince only found out about the Sixth Prince's trap in the Qi residence much later. How come it was so much earlier now?

And they even used this formation to deal with her...

Has he abandoned the Qi family?

Why do you harbor such resentment towards yourself?

She really didn't know where she had offended the crown prince.

Remembering that Tianmu couldn't see his condition before, Zhai Rongyu's eyebrows and eyes flickered.

She always felt that there were secrets about this crown prince that she didn't know.

Could it be... that he was reborn?!

Zhai Rongyu looked up in shock, horrified by her own guess.

In this way, everything makes sense.

He knew that the Sixth Prince would set up a trap in the Qi residence, and he also knew how to obtain the throne later, so he didn't care about sacrificing the Qi family.

He knew even better that she was completely different from Zhai Rongyu in her previous life!

And the reason he turned against himself...

It wasn't out of fear, it was because of my sister!

Zhai Rongyu's gaze suddenly sharpened.

After eliminating all possibilities, the one that remains, no matter how impossible, is the truth.
