Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 198: Cut off the Seven Sufferings to Get No Misfortune

When Yu Zhen's gaze fell on Ji Qingkong, her eyes seemed to regain some of their luster, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she was about to speak.

In the end, she actually revealed a silly smile, opened her mouth and shouted incoherently: "Ah, Ah... Ah Guo..."

As she spoke, her saliva flowed uncontrollably, wetting the front of her collar.

But she seemed to have not noticed it at all. She was still looking in Ji Qingkong's direction, opening her mouth and shouting incoherently: "Aguo, Aguo..."

Ji Qingkong looked at the scene in front of him and his eyes gradually widened.

The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched into fists, and the nails dug into the flesh until a burning pain came from the palms.

When Yuzhen was just born, she always cried when the nanny from Fuyan Palace held her. She also cried when her mother held her. Only when I held her did she not cry.

She will laugh.

The first word she learned to speak was "Brother".

It’s not “Emperor Father” or “Emperor Mother”, but just two simple words - “Brother”.

But now, these same words seemed to have turned into a pair of invisible hands, tightly strangling his throat, and a feeling of suffocation made it difficult for him to breathe.

Ji Qingkong stretched out his hand and grabbed his chest tightly. This time, not only did he feel a gnawing pain in his heart, but even his five internal organs began to feel a burning pain.

The pain in his body kept reminding him that he had violated the precepts, he had violated the precepts...

Fuck the "rules"!
Ji Qingkong stretched out his hand, carefully as if he was touching a porcelain doll that was about to break, and gently held her in his arms, saying softly: "My brother is here, my brother is here... Who hurt you like this?"

Yu Zhen did not answer, but just kept repeating those unclear words, and the saliva from her mouth even wet Ji Qingkong's clothes.

"It's the Salvation Church."

But at this moment, a voice answered him.

I don't know when the Fifth Marquis Qiansui entered the room, stood behind the brother and sister, and calmly replied: "Her Highness Yuzhen colluded with the Salvation Sect, and then had an internal conflict with the Salvation Sect. She was harmed by the evil people of the Salvation Sect and became what she is now. His Majesty felt sorry for her and stopped punishing her. He even kept her in the Yangxin Palace and let me treat her."

Salvationism?
How is that possible? He clearly promised me that he would never let Yu Zhen be involved in these things!

Who dragged her into this? Who harmed her?!

Ji Qingkong felt a nameless anger rising in his heart, and names kept flashing through his mind.

But he had no idea, all this was beyond his expectations.

The Fifth Marquis Qiansui glanced at Yu Zhen and said, "Her Highness's Niwan Palace was destroyed. Even if I help rebuild it, it will still take some time. I didn't expect that she could recognize you in this state. It's a miracle."

These words undoubtedly hurt Ji Qingkong again.

He was silent for a long time, then asked, "Zhao Qi'an lied to me, he said Yu Zhen was just sick..."

"Your Highness is ill, mad."

"Why didn't he protect Yu Zhen? What is the Zhao family doing?"

"The group of salvationists who harmed Her Royal Highness the Princess were personally eradicated by An Shoudao, the Zhao family's worshiper." The Fifth Marquis paused for a moment, looked at Ji Qingkong, and asked, "As for the Prince Consort...what can he do?"

"Zhao Qi'an, he..."

Ji Qingkong fell silent again halfway through his words.

He now doubts everyone in his heart.

My grandfather, Zhao Qian'an, An Shoudao...even my father!

Anyone could be the real murderer who harmed Yu Zhen.

This time, the silence was interrupted by the fishy smell that gradually filled the air.

Water stains soon appeared under Yuzhen's plain white skirt, dripping onto the wool blanket on the floor. But she was still unaware, and she kept calling out "Aguo" incoherently, but her eyes became more and more confused.

This scene made Ji Qingkong start to tremble all over.

Wu Hou Qiansui seemed to be used to it. He just glanced at it, turned around and left the room, standing at the door and shouting, "Someone, take the princess down to clean up!"

Then, he said to Ji Qingkong in the room: "Fourth Prince, it's time for you to leave."

……

Ji Qingkong didn't know how he left the Yangxin Palace. He was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

When he returned to the Taihe Palace, he curled up in the middle of the hall.

"puff……"

Blood gushed out of his mouth, mixed with charred internal organs.

He struggled hard to tear open the front of his clothes, revealing his chest that had begun to rot.

A black snake-like shadow swam in the hall and finally merged into Ji Qingkong's shadow. The shadow quickly gathered and bulged, making a sharp explosion: "Only by cutting off the seven sufferings can you be 'innocent'. How did you break the precepts?!"

Ji Qingkong kept spitting out blood and was unable to answer. He just looked at it coldly.

The shadow transformed into a black whip, wrapped around his feet, and dragged his body towards the shrine.

A gust of wind blew, and a corner of the red cloth covering the shrine was blown away, revealing a strange statue without eyes or mouth inside.

The name of the god is——

The Lord of No Despair!

……

June passed in a flash, and it was already July.

On the first day of every month, Zhao Qian would go to the Health Hall. Today was no exception. He stayed in the Health Hall for a whole day before leaving.

It can be considered good news that after the evil spirit in Master Chu's body was removed, his cultivation recovered well and he has now regained the level of supernatural powers.

But this speed is much later than originally expected.

But for Chu Xuan, he was already smiling from ear to ear, and he was laughing every day. Even the children in the charity hall said privately that "Master Chu" had a much better temper.

When Zhao Qi'an returned to the princess's mansion, Gou Xiangxi was already waiting for him in the study.

"Boss, Mr. Ruan has been in contact with the dignitaries in Kyoto these days, and he seems to have had contact with the Third Prince recently."

Gou Xiangxi could not hide the fatigue on his face when he reported these things.

He has been too busy these days.

I have to take care of the affairs of the Zongzheng Temple, the new site of the charity hall in Baiyun Mountain, and the preparations for the new business are also in full swing...

Originally, Zhao Qi'an wanted to collect some more war orphans for the charity, and this task was originally going to fall on Gou Xiangxi. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked out a few of the A-level staff on the fourth floor of the Treasure Pavilion to do the job for him.

Gou Xiangxi continued, "Master, Ruan Gongfeng is a member of the Zhao family of the East Sea. If you allow him to have closer ties with the Third Prince, it may be detrimental to you. You can't let him do this any longer."

Zhao Qi'an lightly lifted his chin, as if deep in thought. After a moment, he asked, "Has the Fourth Prince contacted the mansion in the past few days?"

If you ask Gou Xiangxi about this, he wouldn't know the answer. After all, he has already handed over all the affairs of the mansion to others.

However, the second steward in the mansion now is Li Yulu, a disciple of Gou Xiangxi.

He quickly sent someone to summon Li Yulu. After hearing what he had said, Li Yulu immediately replied, "No, the Fourth Prince has never sent anyone to your residence. Instead, Fuyan Palace often sends people here, hoping that the Master can visit the palace."
