I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

After leaving the prince, Ying'er looked at the silver bracelet on her hand, feeling a little worried.

She didn't expect that the king's uncle would be so bold as to deliberately hurt the prince. It was really too audacious!
It doesn't need to be done immediately, but this can give people temporary peace of mind and they don't have to worry so much.

Ying'er still pretended to walk around the market, performing for the people around the prince's brother-in-law.

Half an hour later, she returned to the palace, carrying some pastries and other things she had bought.

As soon as she returned, she went to the prince.

Seeing her come back, the prince asked curiously.

"How is it, any reaction from uncle?"

Ying'er nodded and answered truthfully.

"He didn't understand why I came out to take the blame, and he was even more confused as to why I did it. I also told him that I wanted to gain His Highness' trust, and he was so happy that he rewarded me with this silver bracelet!"

After a pause, she added.

"Originally, the uncle had arranged for Zhang to do this, but he didn't expect me to block the sword. Although it was unexpected, the goal was achieved!"

The prince glanced at the silver bracelet and didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he snorted in disdain.

"I thought he would give you some rubbish as a reward, but it turned out to be just a broken silver bracelet. Throw it away and I'll give you a gold bracelet!"

Upon hearing this, Ying'er's eyes lit up instantly.

But on second thought, I still insisted.

"I can't throw this silver bracelet away. Once I meet the prince's uncle later, he will see that I have lost the silver bracelet and he will definitely be suspicious. That will not be good for your plan. I'd better wear it for now."

The prince nodded thoughtfully and felt that what she said made some sense.

"In that case, then you can wear it for now, but you must also wear the gold bracelet I gave you!"

On the other hand, Baidi painstakingly studied the power of the eight divine artifacts, but made no progress.

Not only that, he had suffered severe blows one after another and had already suffered some impact.

If he continues to forcibly obtain the power in the artifact, he will definitely suffer backlash and lose most of his strength.

It was precisely because of this that he was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do!
Soon, he thought of a person, Lu Yuan!
He knows so much, maybe he has a way to crack it, which is very possible.

Thinking of this, Bai Di went to the palace, intending to meet Lu Yuan and find out what was going on.

When he went there, he saw Dugu Aoyun sitting alone under an apricot tree, drinking wine leisurely.

Seeing this, he walked over quickly and asked.

"Didn't I ask you to protect Jiang Linglong? Why are you drinking here?"

In response to the question, Dugu Aoyun explained.

"Jiang Linglong and Lu Yuan are together now. I don't know what they are discussing. They asked me to come out first. I naturally can't disturb them. I'll just eat something and drink some wine here first!"

Upon hearing this, Baidi vaguely felt that something was not right, so he quickly walked into the palace.

Before he got close, he felt a force inside that was constantly spreading outwards.

Although this power is nothing compared to him, it is already beyond that of many ordinary people.

He opened the door a little and saw Jiang Linglong sitting on the ground. Spiritual energy was gathering around her body, constantly strengthening her strength.

Lu Yuan stood beside her, looking at her quietly without looking away.

Baidi did not break in to disturb them, but watched everything quietly. After a while, Jiang Linglong slowly opened his eyes, stood up and said excitedly.

"Brother-in-law, I've improved again!"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then looked towards the door.

"Since you're already here, don't try to dodge. Just come out first. Do you plan to keep hiding like this?"

Knowing that he had discovered him, Baidi did not continue hiding, but walked out directly.

He pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes fixed on Lu Yuan.

After walking up to the two of them, Lu Yuan spoke before he could even open his mouth.

"I know why you came to me, but there is only one way. I have told you clearly that there is no other way!"

"You are a smart person, you should be able to understand the truth. You know very well whether I am hiding it from you on purpose!"

Baidi was full of hope when he came, but the moment he heard these words, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Even though Lu Yuan said so, he still refused to believe it and kept shaking his head.

"No, there must be other ways, you just didn't tell me!"

Lu Yuan shook his head and said in a firm tone.

"No, there is only this one way. If it is so easy to obtain the power of the artifact, why do you think I wouldn't do it?"

In fact, if Lu Yuan wants to obtain the power of the artifact, it is completely possible.

He is a fellow demon fairy practitioner, and the yin and yang energies in his body are balanced with each other.

It is precisely because of this that if he wants to obtain the power in the artifact, he can do it, but he just disdains to snatch this power!

After hearing what he said, Baidi's face became even uglier.

He didn't expect that at this point, he would really have to make his own choice!
But when he thought about everything he was about to face, he couldn't accept it, let alone bear it!

After thinking for a while, he came up with a solution.

"I can inject Yin energy into my body, so that I can gain the power of the divine weapon. If so, won't I be invincible?"

Looking at his excited expression, Lu Yuan reminded him coldly.

"The power of the artifact will not merge with your own power immediately after entering your body. This requires a process. If the Yin energy in your body disappears, have you not considered the consequences?"

"You will become the container of the power of the artifact. Your body will not be able to bear it, and the only way waiting for you is death!"

Baidi's expression became more and more ugly. He didn't expect that after thinking of so many methods, they still didn't work.

This made him feel a little melancholy. He didn't know what to do. He was very embarrassed and even felt at a loss!

Seeing his look, Jiang Linglong, who had been standing beside him in silence, spoke.

"Why do you keep clinging to these powers? It would be better for you to return to your Haizhou Baidi City and live a good life. Isn't that better?"

Bai Di did not hesitate at all and immediately shook his head to refuse.

"No, I want to obtain supreme power, and then the entire Shenzhou continent will be mine!"

He stared at Jiang Linglong with burning eyes.

"To be precise, it's ours!" (End of this chapter)
