Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling's eyes turned cold and sharp as she questioned the Imperial Guard Commander: "When did I use evil magic to plot against the Crown Prince?"

When the Imperial Guard Commander Chen Wei met Jiang Ling's eyes, he couldn't help but be startled by the coldness in her gaze.

He gripped the sword hilt tightly, his voice deep and powerful: "Last night, the Crown Prince was bewitched by evil magic, jumped off the Star-Picking Tower, and died on the spot!"

Jiang Ling was shocked, "Murong Jingming is dead?"

"Correct!"

Chen Wei felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about that bloody, mangled mess of flesh.

The Crown Prince died a terrible death!

The Empress fainted several times from crying. When she woke up, she issued a heart-wrenching decree to arrest Jiang Ling and have her buried alive with her!

"Commander Chen, stop!"

Wang Jing'an pushed aside the imperial guards and squeezed in. He stood in front of Jiang Ling and said angrily, "The Crown Prince is dead, what does that have to do with my little sister Ling'er! What makes you say she did it? Where's the evidence!"

"Commander Chen, Celestial Master Jiang Ling still needs to rescue my wife!"

When Song Wenxian heard Jiang Ling say that Madam Song was in danger, he hurriedly wiped away his tears and pleaded for Jiang Ling.

He said, "Commander Chen, this must be a misunderstanding! You have no evidence, you cannot arrest Master Jiang Ling! Quickly withdraw your troops and make way!"

Chen Wei: "..."

There is no evidence to prove that Jiang Ling did it.

But the Empress's decree had to be obeyed!

Chen Wei took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the people blocking his way, and warned with a complex and pitying look, "Jiang Ling, surrender! Even if you are a Taoist master, you cannot escape. You can go to the Empress to plead your case!"

The hundred imperial guards behind Chen Wei crowded the courtyard, swords in hand, and approached one after another.

Jiang Ling gripped the lightning-struck wooden sword and twirled it: "I don't have time! I didn't do it! Get out of the way!"

Madam Song is in grave danger!

If she delays any longer, Madam Song will lose her life!

"Jiang Ling, if you disobey, they will all die!" Chen Wei pointed his sword at Wang Jing'an and Jiang Yuyan.

Wang Jing'an straightened his chest and said, "Ling'er, your second brother will hold them off for you. You go and save them!"

"Mother."

Jiang Yuxue, disguised as a mud doll, felt both guilty and angry. She whispered to herself, "Baby can kill them all."

"Beep beep—"

Just then, a clear and high-pitched whistle rang out in all directions!

Everyone looked at Jiang Yuyan.

The two-year-old toddler puffed out his cheeks and blew the jade whistle loudly, "Toot-toot—"

Chen Wei's expression changed drastically, "This is the Blood Eagle Whistle!"

Snapped!

despair!

A faint sound reached my ears.

Jiang Ling temporarily suppressed her confusion and looked around. The Blood Eagle Guards appeared silently on the rooftop and courtyard wall, their eyes loyally and obediently fixed on Jiang Yuyan beneath black cloth covering their faces.

Jiang Yuyan's eyes lit up, and in a cool, childlike voice, she shouted domineeringly, "They bullied Mother! Kill them!"

"Yes!"

The Blood Eagle Guards all jumped off the roof, brandishing their scimitars, and attacked the Imperial Guards.

The Blood Eagle Guards are the most elite guard force in the Yan Kingdom, each capable of taking on ten men. The courtyard was too small for them to maneuver freely, and the twenty-odd Blood Eagle Guards directly threw the hundred Imperial Guards into chaos.

Jiang Yuyan called out proudly and smugly, "Mother, we can go now!"

"you……"

With Madam Song on the verge of death, Jiang Ling could only suppress her confusion and turn back to ask Jiang Yuyan where the jade whistle came from.

She scooped up Jiang Yuyan and handed him to Wang Jing'an, saying, "Second Brother, take the baby back to the General's Mansion first! I'm going to rescue people!"

The fox demon tried to slip away in the chaos.

Unexpectedly, a rope of spiritual energy flew over and precisely lassoed her neck. The fox demon had no choice but to obediently follow Jiang Ling as they scaled the wall and escaped.

Jiang Ling used a teleportation talisman to instantly take the fox demon and Jiang Yuxue, who was on her shoulder, away...

Song Wenxian cried out loudly, "Master Jiang Ling, you must save my wife!"

"Stop shouting, Ling'er can't hear you."

Wang Jing'an, carrying Jiang Yuyan in one arm and dragging Song Wenxian with the other, ran out, saying, "Lord Song, come back to the Zhenbei General's Mansion with me and wait for news!"

"stop!"

Chen Wei led his men out in pursuit, shouting, "Jiang Ling has run away! You can't leave! Come back with me to see Her Majesty the Empress!"

"Ouch! Oh no!" Wang Jing'an immediately put Jiang Yuyan down and hid behind his back.

Jiang Yuyan then exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Yan!"

Murong Yan stepped down from the carriage in a wheelchair. With a gesture, the Blood Eagle Guards immediately stepped forward to stop the palace guards.

"Little one, are you hurt?" Murong Yan's eyes were only on Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Yuyan shook his little head.

"Regent!"

Chen Wei cried out in awe and fear, "Her Majesty the Empress has given an order! Are you defying the imperial decree?!"

Murong Yan patted Jiang Yuyan's head, his phoenix eyes sweeping over Chen Wei with a stern and cold gaze. "I will go with you to see the Empress. Let them leave."

Not asking.

It's an order!

Without hesitation, Chen Wei immediately withdrew his troops and let Wang Jing'an and his men leave.

But Jiang Yuyan refused to leave. He looked up at Murong Yan with concern and asked, "Uncle Yan, are you in danger?"

"My dear child, Uncle Yan will come to the General's Mansion to find you later."

Murong Yan comforted and saw Jiang Yuyan off, then turned and followed Chen Wei into the palace.

White silk and lanterns had already begun to be hung in the palace. Upon arriving at the Crown Prince's Palace, everything was a ghastly white, and the Empress's heart-wrenching wails echoed out, extremely jarring.

"My son, you died such a terrible death!"

"Waaaaah, my son! Your mother swears that she will kill Jiang Ling and make her pay with her life!"

"My son..."

When the wheelchair reached the high threshold of the palace, Murong Yan gripped the armrest, took a breath, and stood up.

His legs are getting stronger every day!

Murong Yan stepped over the threshold, his handsome face cold and dignified, and said with disdain, "The Empress has come to the wrong person for revenge. The Crown Prince was killed by me!"

what!

The Empress was grief-stricken and horrified. She turned her head and met Murong Yan's narrow, cold-blooded phoenix eyes, and instantly her bones and blood seemed to freeze.

The alluring red mole at the corner of Murong Yan's eye now resembled blood!

He stood against the light, his voice cruel and mocking, "The Crown Prince stole my destiny, he deserves to die! Your Majesty, what do you say?"

The empress was terrified.

She held onto the coffin and cried out in anguish, "I must tell His Majesty!"

"Very well." Murong Yan smiled. "With the Crown Prince gone, Your Majesty should come back to visit. I also have many questions for Your Majesty!"

……

Outside the imperial city, at the foot of an unnamed mountain.

Jiang Ling and her group appeared out of nowhere.

The fox demon pointed to the mountain, "My demon form is right here."

The mountain was too high and too vast; searching it all would be time-consuming and exhausting. Jiang Ling opened her cold, clear spiritual eyes and looked into the mountain...

There's something weird!

found it!

"Let's go!" Jiang Ling grabbed the fox demon's arm. The weight of a grown man was as light as a doll in her hands.

A corner of the mountain.

A bright red fox is hanging upside down from a tree.

The hunter sharpened his knife, examined the fox against the light, and nodded in satisfaction. "What a beautiful fox. I'll skin it and sell it; it'll definitely fetch a good price!"

"Little fox, don't you dare move! If this pelt has a flaw, I won't be able to sell it!"

The fox squeaked and squeaked, its intelligent eyes filled with despair.

The knife sliced ​​into its shoulder and neck...
