The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 284 Third Miss

Yang Xuan and King Yu were discussing matters in the main hall of Lilac Courtyard. The gatekeeper Xiao Huangmen saw Zhao Shuang and A Tao, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he sent a message to let them in.

"Why didn't your majesty stay in Shangjing, and traveled all the way to Xiyuan Road?" Zhao Shuang led A Tao into the main hall, and A Tao cheerfully climbed onto Yang Xuan when he saw him.

"I'm not worried about you!" Yang Xuan glanced at her angrily, pointed to the fat old man beside him and said, "Prince Yu received the news that Qing Wu left Yuxu Temple, it seems that he is going to Xiyuan Road, I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to you, so I hurried to take a look at it."

"Empress, the emperor is also worried about you. Anyway, he came to Xiyuan Road in Beijing, and it only took half a day." King Yu smiled and bowed to Zhao Shuang, "It just so happens... that I also come to live in my palace for a few days."

"Well," Zhao Shuang responded to King Yu, and then asked Yang Xuan, "Where's Ah Chen? You're here, who will you entrust him to?"

"Put it at Mingjing's house, don't worry, the mothers and wet nurses in the palace have gone with them, and Zhang Ruixue and the old lady of the Ming family will take care of it. Ah Chen will be fine." Yang Xuan hugged Ah Tao, seeing Zhao Shuang's whole body The dusty man, who seemed to be still stained with blood, frowned and asked, "Where's Qingwu? You went to pick up Zhao Hongyi, did you see him?"

"Master, he... is dead." Zhao Shuang said, taking off a black cloth wrapped around his waist and putting it on the table.

A huge burst of spiritual power hit like a wave, shaking the cups and maps on the table with a "bang bang" sound.

"What?" Yang Xuan hugged A Tao nervously.

"The Horn of Departing Soul and the Bell of Locking Soul." Zhao Shuang picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea.

"Play! Play!" A Tao clamored to play with the black cloth package, but Yang Xuan grabbed her two little hands tightly and couldn't move them.

"Oh? Why are these two treasures in your hands?" Yang Xuan turned to Zhao Shuang and asked, "Are you planning to keep them?"

"It's a long story," Zhao Shuang finished his tea and poured himself another cup, "I will chop the Horn of Departing Soul tonight with the Tianfang Sword, so as not to have long nights and dreams. As for the soul-locking bell... I will give it back to my master." Spirit."

"Empress Empress, I have arranged a banquet for the emperor tonight, and when the time comes...you can also bring His Royal Highness to have fun together." King Yu smiled and cupped his hands at her.

"I'm tired, so I won't go to the welcome banquet." After a battle with Qing Wu, although she kept Yuan Dan, she was also seriously injured and felt very tired. She rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I want to rest early .”

"You should be happy to pick up Zhao Hongyi. Let's go together tonight. You haven't tried the roast whole lamb from Xiyuan Road..." Yang Xuan smiled and pulled her hand.

"Didn't you eat roasted whole lamb when you were in the north? Aren't they all the same?" Zhao Shuang broke away from his hand, and picked up the black cloth wrap, carefully pinning it to his waist.

"A Tao has never eaten!" Yang Xuan winked at A Tao, who nodded vigorously and shouted, "A Tao wants to eat! Eat!"

"He wants to eat, you just take him there." Zhao Shuang still had to set up a magic circle at night, and by the moonlight he slashed the Horn of Lihun, not in the mood for any banquet, "I can't drink, so I won't go. "

~~
In the middle of the night, two figures stood in the place where the moonlight was brightest in the garden.

There were bursts of singing, dancing, talking and laughing from the outer courtyard, and occasionally the sound of children playing.

Zhao Shuang set up a magic circle in the garden of Lilac Courtyard. She was dressed in black, and only Hu Lan was with her.

Although Zhao Hongyi was rescued, but Zhao Hongyi is deaf and dumb, and he is the former monarch, so it is impossible for him to participate in tonight's banquet.

Although the world is still as prosperous as before, Zhao Shuang's mood has changed. The relationship between her and Yang Xuan is no longer the same as before.

There was a horn wrapped in black cloth on the ground, and Zhao Shuang kicked the black cloth away, revealing a snow-white and gloomy bone. The horn was tattered and covered with scratches, exuding a cool and blackened light.

It was this horn that killed Cheng Qian, Xiao Yan, and Qing Wu. Under its bewitching, no matter a gentleman or an emperor in the world, no matter how powerful the spell is, they would all fall into a demon in the end.

The Horn of Departing Soul is said to be able to manipulate people's souls, but in fact it just uses people's desires, amplifies those insignificant desires layer by layer, and finally turns into a demon, devouring people whole.

Before Qing Wu died, he told her to destroy the horn, perhaps because he was afraid that she would end up in the same way.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhao Shuang raised the Tianfang sword and chopped down at the horn on the ground without hesitation.

There was only a slight cracking sound coming from under the feet, and then another sound like a landslide, and the horn of the departing soul finally turned into a pile of broken bones.

Zhao Shuang had already ordered Hulan to dig a deep hole in the garden, then threw the broken bones into the hole, filled it with soil with his own hands, and put a spell on it to make it difficult for the rain and snow to dig it out.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the fence of the veranda tiredly, listening to the noise of people in the outer courtyard, as if there were also the sound of silk, bamboo and gongs and drums.

"Empress, the hot water is ready, why don't you take a bath and rest earlier." Xiangdong came out of the house.

Just as Zhao Shuang stood up and was about to follow her into the bedroom, she heard panicked exclamations and the sound of swords coming from the outer courtyard.

"Hulan! Go and see, is His Highness the Crown Prince okay?" Zhao Shuang asked Hulan.

"Yes!" Hu Lan hurried to the outer courtyard, while Zhao Shuang waited anxiously on the veranda.

After about half a cup of tea, Hulan ran back and said out of breath, "Empress! There was an assassin at the banquet just now!"

"Assassin?" Zhao Shuang rolled his eyes in doubt.

What kind of assassin would chase after Xiyuan Road?

"I heard it's Princess Chuijin," Hu Lan gasped, and continued, "The assassin has been subdued by General Pingfeng who is beside the emperor, and has been imprisoned."

"Honghu?" Zhao Shuang frowned, nodded and murmured, "It's good that the emperor is fine."

When Zhao Shuang heard that Honghu was subdued, she let go of her hanging heart. It was getting late, and she planned to deal with her in a few days.

Honghu has already been seriously injured, and now he doesn't have the soul-locking bell. He is just an old lady who can learn martial arts, so it is not surprising that he was subdued by Pingfeng.

"Your majesty is fine, but... I heard that the third lady of Prince Yu's mansion blocked Princess Chuijin's palm for His Royal Highness, and her life is at stake!" After Hu Lan finished speaking, Zhao Shuang stood up in shock.

"Miss San?" Zhao Shuang recalled what the maid had said before, saying that this Miss San was deeply loved by King Yu, "Take me to see it!"

Honghu would come to Prince Yu's Mansion to assassinate, mostly for Suohunling. She might want to hold Ah Tao to force herself to hand over Suohunling, anyway, it was because of herself.

If it caused the death of the third young lady of Prince Yu's Mansion, I would be sorry for her.

"Empress Empress, Princess Yu has already sent someone to invite a doctor, and the Emperor and Pingfeng are here, we'd better...wait for the news." Hu Lan hurriedly stopped her, with a somewhat embarrassed face.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shuang looked at her suspiciously.

She knows some spells and intends to heal the third lady's wounds, why did Hulan stop her?

"I'll listen to the wind, just now... the third lady performed a dance at the banquet, and King Yu intended to let her enter the palace, but he raised it to the emperor several times but was rejected. Later, when the assassin appeared, he took advantage of no one's attention, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is about to succeed, thanks to Miss San standing in front..." Hu Lan said, then raised her head to look at Zhao Shuang again, "Empress Empress, let's go tomorrow."

"Then I should thank her and heal her." Zhao Shuang said as she was about to walk down the corridor steps.

"Empress! The third lady said...she is dying, and she will not see anyone tonight, as long as the emperor is with her." Hu Lan just said this, and regretted it again, afraid that the empress would think too much.
