Evil of all ages

Chapter 257 The Marriage Procession Encounters Trouble
"So far, they still haven't found out Bai Xiaosheng's identity?"

Huang Yu'er always felt that this all-knowing scholar posed a great threat.

Because Bai Xiaosheng knows far too much.

He could not have created this without strong intelligence support.

It's also updated periodically.

With such powerful intelligence capabilities, Huang Yu'er couldn't help but suspect that Bai Xiaosheng knew she and Wei Qianlan had swapped lives.

If someone like that wants to harm others, they can release just a few pieces of information and cause someone's utter ruin.

Huang Mang shook his head, indicating that Bai Xiaosheng was hiding his true abilities too well.

Not to mention the White Lotus Sect, many forces in the world wanted to find Bai Xiaosheng, but they couldn't find him.

"Let's look in a different direction. Is it possible that Bai Xiaosheng isn't just one person, but a group of people?"

Huang Yu'er pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Huang Mang accepted the order and then asked the young lady if she needed to send someone to look for Huang Yunyou again.

"no need"

"Before, we had no news of Third Brother, so we had to send people to look for him."

"Now that I have news of him, and he's still the disciple of the number one person in the world, why should I worry about anything?"

"Go and invite my master and the Seventh Elder here."

Huang Yu'er said.

Upon hearing this, Huang Mang obeyed the order and went to fetch someone.

A short while later, Liu Caiyue and Song Yang were brought in by Huang Mang.

"Holy Maiden, two more of our strongholds have been wiped out by the imperial court."

"However, our people withdrew in time, so the casualties were not that great."

Song Yang reported.

"Was it done by Young Master Wei again?"

Huang Yu'er's eyebrows furrowed. If the imperial court could find their stronghold, it must be because someone inside them leaked the information.

"He did it."

“Ever since that incident, having lost all his dignity and face, he has become increasingly insane.”

"In order to retaliate against us, he used the power of the imperial court to gradually weaken our strength."

Song Yang nodded.

"It seems the only option is to get rid of him."

Huang Yu'er wanted to make more preparations and wait for the right time to get rid of Wei Nanzhou.

But ever since Wei Nanzhou fell into a trap due to his arrogance and was defiled by a man, all he could think about was revenge.

Such people are extremely crazy, like mad dogs that will bite you and never let go.

They did not hesitate to use the power of the imperial court to deal with her.

The key was that the White Lotus Sect's two overt and covert masters pretended not to see it.

The Grand Elder's faction, not wanting to miss out on trouble, fanned the flames from behind, hoping to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

She didn't want to be in such a passive position; the only way was to get rid of him.

"Master, have all the divine medicines stored in Changbai Mountain been moved?"

Huang Yu'er asked her master.

"They've all been moved out. I've also set up a lot of poison arrays inside."

Liu Caiyue replied.

"Very good, proceed according to plan, let him die from greed."

Huang Yu'er had her master move all the divine medicines stored in Changbai Mountain, intending to use the traps and mechanisms there to deal with Wei Nanzhou.

She wasn't worried that Wei Nanzhou wouldn't fall for it; that was a treasure trove of divine medicine, the foundation of Medicine King Valley for hundreds of years—who could refuse it?

As long as Wei Nanzhou is "lucky" enough to obtain the treasure map of the Divine Medicine Cave, there's no way he wouldn't go to Changbai Mountain to find it.

"The Third Elder doesn't know that we've already sidelined him. Should we put him under house arrest for now?"

Song Yang asked.

“That’s not right. Now that Zhao the Old Thief can walk, he’s been showing his face in public all the time. He’s trying to regain the influence that’s rightfully his.”

"Whether it's Wei Nanzhou or the Grand Elder, they must have been paying attention to him, and may even have helped him to weaken my influence."

“If we put him under house arrest now, Wei Nanzhou and the Grand Elder will definitely become suspicious because they can’t see him.”

"Let's ignore him for now. He's all alone and poses no threat to us. Let's deal with Wei Nanzhou first."

After Huang Yu'er finished speaking, she waved for Song Yang to leave. Once Song Yang was gone, Huang Yu'er asked her master about Wei Qianlan's situation.

“I tested her, and she resisted coming back to continue being the saintess. She was content with the status quo and wanted to stay in the capital forever, replacing your identity.”

Liu Caiyue replied.

Upon hearing this answer, Huang Yu'er fell silent.

She was given a second chance at life and set two goals.

First, to change their fate and ensure that all three older brothers live well.

To her surprise, none of her three brothers died and were living better than she had imagined, without her having to do anything.

Secondly, he wanted revenge, to completely replace everything Wei Qianlan had, and to make Wei Qianlan die in regret.

Who would have thought that she wouldn't be needed to replace her? Wei Qianlan had already resisted returning to be the Holy Maiden.

He also took over her life and her brother.

This kind of "substitution" in life not only made her feel like she was punching thin air, but also made her inexplicably unhappy.

"Keep an eye on her."

Huang Yu'er would not allow Wei Qianlan to monopolize her life forever; sooner or later, she would take it back.

Wei Qianlan is now an adult and can no longer be as innocent as before.

She only felt at ease after having someone keep an eye on things.

Capital
A major event has just occurred.

The marriage procession arrived in the capital yesterday. Princess Anping, the thirteenth sister of the Empress of Western Liang, has not yet met the young emperor.

People were not only defiled, but also killed.

The person who did this was none other than Xu Zhengqi, a spoiled brat.

Xu Zhengqi, who committed a serious crime, is currently imprisoned in a cell at the Dali Temple.

Upon receiving the news, Xu Ming rushed to Dali Temple. At that moment, he was looking at his son in the prison cell with a dark expression.

"Was someone instigating you? Or were you framed?"

Xu Ming knew that his son had done many things to bully men and women, but no matter how bold he was, he wouldn't have gone so far as to defile Princess Anping and then kill her.

It must be that my son fell for someone's scheme.

"I...I don't know."

Xu Zhengqi couldn't explain it, because he was in a state similar to being blacked out from drinking.

I don't know if my act of defiling Princess Anping was conscious or unconscious.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming frowned and immediately ordered someone to fetch the imperial physician.

He suspected that his son was under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs, which was why he was unable to determine his own behavior.

Once this is affirmed, there is a way to mitigate the son's crime.

When the imperial physician arrived, the jailer, who had received the order in advance, did not delay and opened the cell to let the physician in.

Xu Ming immediately asked questions after the imperial physician finished his examination.

The imperial physician replied that there was no such thing as poisoning Xu Zhengqi; he had not been poisoned by any drugs.

This made Xu Ming's heart sink.

"Do you have……"

Xu Ming glanced at the imperial physician, preparing to ask if he had brought any hallucinogenic drugs or the like.

He was going to feed it to his son, pretending that his son had been framed.

But before he could finish speaking, Di Qingtian arrived with the Yin brothers.

This made Xu Ming swallow the rest of what he wanted to say.

“Duke Anshi, as soon as he was brought in, I arranged for a physician to examine his body, and there was nothing wrong with him.”

"Don't let his health deteriorate after you arrive."

Di Qingtian said in a calm tone.

Xu Ming, despite being warned, showed no displeasure and waved for the imperial physician to leave.

“Minister Di, you are a smart man, you should be able to see that someone is targeting our Xu family.”

"Leaving aside other things, just consider the overall strength of the marriage alliance."

"The entire group consisted of nearly two thousand people. In addition to Princess Anping, there were ministers and envoys who came to discuss the alliance, and there were no fewer than five innate experts."

"This unfilial son has many lackeys around him, but he only has one innate swordsman protecting him."

"With such a small force around him, how could he possibly have killed more than 800 people in the marriage alliance and then raped and murdered Princess Anping?"

"This is clearly someone framing my son."
