Jiang Ling is already immune to the Ninth Prince saying similar things from time to time: "I haven't heard His Highness talk about this matter, but I really want to see how Daoist Jie Wei does it."

Jiang Ling had a brief contact with Jie Wei. This person had a strange aura, lingering with a faint smell of blood. It was completely different from the aura of Master Qianwu. Jiang Ling didn't know what skills this person had, but he I got a lot of dragon energy for a while, so I don't need to be afraid of him at all.

"Brother Jiang, are you not afraid at all?"

The Ninth Prince murmured in his heart: I, who is timid, seem to be a different kind.

"Your Highness will definitely protect me. Moreover, Father will go in person, will he bring the elite of the imperial army to ensure safety?"

You must know that in ancient society, the safety of the emperor was related to the country, and it was the top priority of a country.

"It doesn't matter if the father is going, why did you bring us with you, Brother Jiang, don't you think this looks like a conspiracy by someone to wipe out the royal family?"

The more the Ninth Prince thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense: "It's much more convenient to go outside than to move around in the palace. This mustache looks uneasy and kind."

The court ministers also felt the same way. After Emperor Chongming proposed to leave the palace with Daoist Jiewei, the objections floated into the palace like snowflakes.

In the early court, there must be a minister who spoke out for this matter.

"Your Majesty, the dragon's body is the most important thing. Let Taoist Jiewei do the job of exorcising the demon fox. It won't happen that Taoist Jiewei is too weak to solve it himself? Then it's too dangerous for your Majesty to go down!"

The old ministers in the court moved him with emotion and reason, hoping that Emperor Chongming would calm down.

But Emperor Chongming seemed determined, no matter how much he persuaded him, he would not let go.

The early court ended hastily, and the first thing Emperor Chongming did when he came down was to go to Jiewei Taoist Palace.

"Master Dao, do I really have to go? The ministers have been arguing for a few days." Emperor Chongming actually didn't want to go at all. He was afraid to recall the scene in the dream, let alone face what happened in the dream in person.

"Your Majesty is entangled in the resentment of the demon soul. If you don't go there in person, I can't guarantee that the resentment of the demon soul can be completely eliminated." Jie Wei held a whisk in his hand, looking like a master of Taoism.

Since the first nightmare was solved by Taoist Jiewei, Emperor Chongming trusted him very much. He originally thought that this time, like last time, it could be solved by amulets. After listening to his description, his face suddenly became solemn.

"Your Majesty, this is caused by the resentment of the demon soul. It seems that His Majesty heard the rumors from the outside world and was thinking of the people, and was perceived by the demon soul." Even though he was suddenly summoned in the middle of the night, Daoist Jie Wei was still wearing a meticulous Taoist robe, his face was not expressionless. Tiredness, as if sleep is not needed.

"Can't we rely on the meditation talisman like last time?" Emperor Chongming remembered that his nightmares were quelled by the meditation amulet before.

"The situation this time is different from last time, and the meditation talisman may not work."

Emperor Chongming was deeply thoughtful and didn't fully believe Jiewei's words, so he asked for a meditation talisman from him.Of course, things were just like what Jiewei said, the talisman that had been tried and tried before had lost its effect this time, and as soon as he fell asleep, what he saw was a purgatory-like bloody scene, and a demon fox that opened its mouth to attack him.

Emperor Chongming had no choice but to find Jiewei again, as if he knew what happened to him these days, Jiewei didn't ask anything, and brought up the matter of leaving the palace again.

Having had experience, Emperor Chongming had to believe it if he didn't believe it. It was too uncomfortable to be infested by nightmares every night, so he agreed to Jiewei's request.

After that, there was fierce opposition from the courtiers.

Jiewei suggested that the prince can do the job for him, but Emperor Chongming must be present.

The mountain village where the fox wounded people was not far from the capital. Emperor Chongming worried that the dream would repeat itself, so he dispatched the most elite imperial army, and asked the prince to send his subordinates to the mountain village ahead of time to guard the surroundings.

Emperor Chongming cared about the common people, and the news that he wanted to personally go to the place where the fox was infested to deal with it spread quickly.

The common people were worried about the rumors about troubled times, but after hearing the news that Emperor Chongming wanted to get rid of the evil himself, the conversation changed.

"What troubled times, it's absolutely nonsense. Our Majesty has always cared about the lives of the people. Before the earthquake in Yu County, King Xuan was sent to punish corrupt officials. Besides, there is also His Royal Highness, who beat Beimang for three years. When I go back to my hometown, I will never dare to offend the border of Daqi again, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, what are you afraid of?"

"It's just a few bigger foxes. What's there to be afraid of? The elite of His Royal Highness aren't even afraid of the Beimang Cavalry. Are they afraid of just a few beasts?"

"In any case, His Majesty's willingness to solve the problem in person regardless of the danger already speaks volumes for the problem."

"That's right, it's just rumors. The demon fox has only appeared in one village to hurt people so far. I heard that the government has resettled the injured people and will help them rebuild their houses in the future."

Hearing that the people's discussion turned to the desired direction, the person who caused the topic in the crowd retreated quietly. The people had already fallen into a heated discussion, no one paid attention, and there were few people in the crowd.

It was the officials sent by the prince to settle the injured people, and it was also the prince's order to change the rumors among the people.

Since the other party's thinking disturbed the hearts of the people, Xiao Shengyun was not as good as they wanted.

An unremarkable courtyard in the capital.

"Master, it's already been arranged. The emperor, the prince and others will all be there during the introduction. After 15 years, the revenge of the former master can finally be avenged."

In the darkness, a man's hoarse voice came: "Make sure everything is safe. Doesn't he value the Xiao family's country very much? I want this country to be completely messed up. Under the nine springs, he must die without resting his eyes!"

"But," the man dressed as a subordinate hesitated for a while, "that lord's request..."

"I live only for revenge. He is just a part of my revenge. They are all from the Xiao family. Do you think I will let him go? I have tens of thousands of members of the Ukiyo Sect, but they were slaughtered by his Xiao family. My Ukiyo Sect Qiu, and the Xiao family, are at odds with each other!"

"Ahem——" With a violent cough, the leader had to stop talking, and the subordinate hurriedly took the medicine and handed it over.

In the darkness, stretched out a skinny hand, this hand did not look like a living person, the leader swallowed the medicine, and slowly stopped coughing: "The nightmare is just the beginning, Emperor Chongming, bear it well."

He has been dormant for so many years, changed his face, and re-established his power, in order to make Emperor Chongming and the Xiao family feel miserable.

Even if it was the Xiao family who saved him, so what, they were just using each other. That person had selfish intentions, wanting to seize the country in the hands of Emperor Chongming, and he also had selfish intentions, wanting to destroy the country in the hands of Emperor Chongming.

Now, no one can stop him, not even that person.

It is a big event for the emperor to go out of the palace, there are a lot of things to be arranged, Xiao Shengyun has to accompany him, seeing that he didn't bring his intentions, Jiang Ling quit.

"Your Highness, I want to go too?" Jiang Ling hung on the man, moaning and chirping to express her dissatisfaction.

"Just go for a day, Gu will be back soon, Ling'er will wait for Gu to come back in the palace, okay?" Xiao Chengyun put his arms around the young man's waist and hugged him up.

Jiang Ling sat in his arms, looking down at him from above: "I don't, I want to see Jiewei's actions."

"It might be very dangerous." Xiao Shengyun didn't want Jiang Ling to be in danger.

"I'm not afraid, Your Highness will protect me, and I also have the ability to protect myself," Jiang Ling shook Xiao Shengyun's shoulder, "Your Highness, take me, I will not be separated from Your Highness."

Jiang Ling was relentless, Xiao Shengyun had no choice but to agree to him.

Jiang Ling cheered, and kissed Xiao Chengyun on the face: "Your Highness is the best!"

"It would be good if I promised to take you there, wouldn't I?"

"If there is real danger, I will also worry about Your Highness," Jiang Ling said earnestly. "If this matter is really planned by someone, doesn't Your Highness think that I will not be safe in the palace? Only by following His Highness is the safest."

"What Ling'er said makes sense."

Xiao Shengyun was not completely unprepared, since Jiewei showed unkindness to Jiang Ling, he sent someone to investigate Jiewei's details. No matter how well Jiewei hides, as long as he has lived in Daqi, he will leave traces. , Two days ago, the dark guard found some clues.

Following this clue, it is not difficult to find out who has colluded with Jiewei.

Jiewei didn't come here for Jiang Ling, his goal was very clear, to gain Emperor Chongming's trust.

A Ming chess piece sent to Emperor Chongming by someone behind the scenes.

It would take about two days to go back and forth to the mountain village. Jiang Ling didn't have much to prepare, so Qingyao packed him a change of clothes and necessary daily necessities.

Hearing that they were leaving the palace, Imperial Physician Zhang brought some medicines and introduced them one by one: "These medicines are made by Chu Qiao. There are detoxification pills, and insect repellents..."

The insect repellent was obviously specially prepared for Jiang Ling, and the fact that Jiang Ling was afraid of insects left a deep impression on Chu Qiao.

"There are a lot of insects on the mountain, my junior put the insect repellent in a sachet, and the princess can carry it with me." Doctor Zhang took out several sachets mixed with various medicines.

The sachet was only half the size of an ordinary sachet, and the workmanship was fine. Jiang Ling took one, put it under her nose and sniffed it. The smell was not unpleasant. If Doctor Zhang didn't tell her, Jiang Ling would think it was an ordinary sachet.

"Did Doctor Chu make this sachet himself?" Jiang Ling looked through the other sachets, all of which looked similar.

"I bought the sachet, and the medicine in it was packed by my junior brother. Apart from being careful about what I am interested in, my junior brother would not be able to do such delicate work." Imperial Physician Zhang laughed.

"Doctor Chu has a heart." Xiao Shengyun accepted the medicine.

"One thing, I want to trouble Your Highness. My junior brother asked, if His Highness catches a demon fox, no matter whether it is captured alive or killed, can you keep one for him, and he wants to see if he can research the origin of the demon fox." Doctor Zhang said .

"Yes." This was not a difficult request, and Xiao Shengyun agreed.

No matter what the origin of the demon fox hurting people, it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible for the safety of the people.

"Have you found any traces of the fox?" These days, Jiang Ling often heard people talking about the demon fox in the East Palace.

"Father sent people to search the mountain, but only caught some ordinary foxes, but did not find the demon foxes described by those people."

The first characteristic of the demon fox is that its fur is red, and the second is that it is larger than ordinary foxes. It stands to reason that such a characteristic should be easy to find in the mountains, but the generals sent by Emperor Chongming led people to search all over the mountains. None were found, which made the matter even more mysterious when it was brought up.

"Why is Ling'er sure that the demon fox is an ordinary fox, not a fox with spirits?"

There are many rumors outside, and the saying that the fox has a spirit has even spread to the palace. After Jiang Ling heard about it, she immediately told Xiao Shengyun, don't believe it.

"Because it's different from what's written here." Jiang Ling opened the story book, pointing to the part describing the fox demon.

Besides, the fox demons that Jiang Ling knows are better than each other.
