Bloody Kyoto

Yun Ji came for Zheng Jiaojiao, so naturally he stayed at the Princess's residence. As soon as he returned, Yun Ji said to Zheng Jiaojiao:

"Ah Hui, the Ancestor's lifespan is coming to an end. This time, let the heart of this otherworldly being be given to the Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiaojiao's expression became somewhat unnatural, but it vanished in an instant. She grabbed Yun Ji's arm and shook it, saying, "Alright, then give it to the Ancestor."

Zheng Jiaojiao was extremely unhappy; she actually wanted to give the heart to Yan Ji.

An old geezer doesn't deserve such good things.

But there's no rush. We haven't found that person yet, let alone dug out his heart.

Once we find it, we'll discuss it further.

Aside from the Yun family and Zheng Jiaojiao, no one knew that to obtain the abilities of people from other worlds, one did not need to eat meat and drink blood, but rather their hearts.

Huo Yunxia's heart was taken by Zheng Jiaojiao, and now she has healing abilities and superhuman strength.

However, others are unaware of this.

While others who ate the meat and drank the blood did not gain any superpowers, they were not disappointed either, since the blood was even better than divine medicine.

Jingzhao Prefecture

After seeing off the palace's chief eunuch, Zhao Rongyuan looked solemn, wondering what the emperor meant.

He was ordered to do his utmost to find the murderer, but he was not allowed to arrest him after finding him, nor was he allowed to alert the culprit.

She also told him to inform Princess Hui after he found out, and that he didn't need to worry about the rest.

Is Your Majesty openly helping Princess Hui steal credit?

Just as he finished thinking, he shook his head again. The emperor doesn't need to claim credit; he can promote whomever he wants. There's no need to judge based on merit.

He walked over to a chair and sat down, his mind racing. Based on his own suspicions, the murderer was likely seeking revenge for Huo Yunxia.

As for Huo Yunxia's death, even a fool would know it was related to Princess Hui.

After all, Princess Hui and Fu Yanji are getting married next month.

If you want to steal a husband, you must kill the original wife first.

Therefore, the Emperor is protecting Princess Hui.

Thinking about this, Zhao Rongyuan was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness.

No matter how righteous his heart may be, he is powerless once the emperor stands against him.

Prince's Mansion

The Crown Prince also received news of the maid's death at the Fu family's gate and the mysterious death of Li Jizong of the Li family.

Because of the information gap, Zhu Siqing did not realize that the murderer was avenging Huo Yunxia; he just felt a sense of satisfaction.

At the same time, he is also searching for the murderer, but his goal is not to bring the murderer to justice, but to protect him.

When he had something good to say, he immediately told Wu Cuicui the news.

Upon hearing this, Wu Cuicui inquired carefully about who the maid was, and she was genuinely happy.

If she remembered correctly, the morning after returning from the Crown Prince's residence half a year ago, it was that maid who brought over a bowl of chicken soup and insisted on watching her mistress finish it.

Madam Fu's reason was that she wanted to nourish her body so that she could give birth to a son or daughter for the Third Master.

This reason is irrefutable; after all these years, his wife has only had one child.

It's understandable that the elderly in the family are worried.

Although the lady knew how to treat illnesses, she really didn't understand medicine. In addition, she was not afraid of any medicine, so she swallowed it all in one gulp.

But to her surprise, she discovered something was wrong in just fifteen minutes.

But escape was no longer an option, as the courtyard was completely surrounded.

The first one to come in was that bitch Zheng Jiaojiao.

Without a word, they ordered their men to tie up the lady. She and her husband naturally resisted, but due to the effects of the drugs, the lady gradually lost her supernatural powers.

She wanted to escape with the lady.

Unfortunately, she was only strong, but her martial arts skills were average, so there was no way she could escape with the lady.

Finally, the lady yelled at her to run away on her own, and she obeyed and ran away.

But they didn't escape the Fu residence.

Thinking about what happened that day, she became unsteady on her feet. Zhu Siqing immediately noticed her unusual condition and asked with concern, "Miss Cui Cui, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing!" Wu Cuicui shook her head, calming herself down. "I was just too happy. The maid who died was the one who served the poison to the madam."

Zhu Siqing was surprised to hear this, but at the same time felt much happier.

"Your Highness, is there any news from Tianxi City?"

"My uncle's men went to the tea shop you mentioned, but it's been closed for a long time."

Zhu Siqing: "In addition, our people found out that someone had also inquired about the people in that shop not long ago, and based on the description, we know that person is Chen Shifeng."

"This shows that Chen Shifeng did not capture the Third Madam's sister, so you can rest assured."

Wu Cuicui was somewhat relieved, but not completely at ease, since no one knew what had happened to Huo Lele.

"I hope Your Highness will take good care of me." She bowed weakly to him.

Zhu Siqing gestured to help her up, saying, "Miss Cui Cui, there's no need for such formalities. The Third Young Mistress has done me a great favor, and I will do everything in my power to protect her sister."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so don't think about anything else. Leave everything to me."

Zhu Siqing said this and then strode away.

He used to be bedridden for many years, but now that he has fully recovered, he has come to love walking with a broad and sweeping gait, like a general.

空间

After Li Nanle regained consciousness, she felt that her supernatural abilities had increased significantly.

This surprised her greatly.

If you keep growing at this rate, you'll reach level ten very quickly.

Then I can take my revenge without any scruples.

However, you can't wait until level 10 to take revenge. It's said to be quick, but it will probably take about a year.

If she did nothing during that year, she would probably be driven mad by the hatred in her heart.

and so……

She planned to enter the capital openly and honestly, hoping to find an opportunity to take some small revenge.

Two weeks later, on the outskirts of the capital

"Xiao Hai, run! Run!"

A woman dressed as a peasant woman stretched out a blood-stained hand and called out anxiously to an eight or nine-year-old boy who was standing in a daze not far away.

There was a knife stuck in her chest.

"Escape? Where to escape?"

Behind her, a man with a sinister smile twirled a knife in his hand. The knife twisted the woman's internal organs, and she let out a scream before closing her eyes forever.

The man pulled out his knife and walked toward the stunned little boy. The little boy didn't even look at him; his eyes were fixed on his mother lying in a pool of blood.

The man raised his knife to strike, and just as the boy was about to be killed, a hole appeared in the back of the man's head.

He slowly turned around and saw a middle-aged woman with a pockmarked face and a bundle slung over her shoulder pointing a dark object at him.

What it is?

Unfortunately! He could no longer think, and would never know what that thing was, before he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Seeing the man fall, she walked to the boy's side, and the boy was looking up at her.

The boy's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

The woman glanced at the woman lying on the ground, then squatted down and looked directly into her eyes. "Your mother has been murdered."

The boy, who had been tense, burst into tears upon hearing this.

The woman didn't say anything to dissuade him; she let him cry, believing that it was a good thing for him to vent.
