Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

"Grandfather, Tang'er doesn't know who she is either."

Shen Qingtang leaned against her grandmother's chest, covering her face and weeping.

"You don't know? How could you not know?"

The prime minister paced back and forth, his hands clasped behind his back. "You came back from the palace, and for no reason, you went outside the city! Tang'er, what were you doing there?"

Shen Qingtang trembled and hurriedly said,

"I don't know how Tang'er got gone there!"

The prime minister paused, staring at her incredulously.

"You don't even know where you went?"

Shen Qingtang began to sob.

"Tang'er truly doesn't know. If Grandfather doesn't believe me, just ask the nanny!"

The prime minister frowned without realizing it.

He had interrogated all of Shen Qingtang's servants, especially the nanny and maid who accompanied the sedan chair.

But no one could explain why they took the young lady outside the city.

They only said that someone told them to go outside the city, but they didn't know who it was.

But somehow, one by one, they found themselves involuntarily following that voice.

"Alright! We finally found Tang'er, and you're not letting her rest? What are you asking?"

The Prime Minister's wife glared at him, then tenderly coaxed her granddaughter in her arms, saying, "Tang'er, don't be afraid. Now that you're back, don't dwell on the past. Your grandmother will never let anyone harm you again!"

Shen Qingtang started to sob.

The prime minister glanced at his granddaughter, feeling both heartache and helplessness, and could only say,

"You should rest first. Once you're fully recovered, you can talk to your grandfather about anything you remember."

How could he not ask him clearly?

In another month or so, it will be the day the Crown Prince chooses his consort.

His precious granddaughter was handpicked by the Empress and was just waiting to take the jade ruyi into the Eastern Palace to become the Crown Princess!

Personally speaking, although His Majesty is in good health, he is, after all, over fifty years old.

How many more years can he remain on the throne?

When the crown prince ascends the throne, his granddaughter will become the empress of the country!

"Grandfather, I... I just remembered something, I wonder if it's related?"

Shen Qingtang suddenly raised her tear-streaked face and looked at him with fear and uncertainty.

The prime minister's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "What is it? Whether it's related or not, just tell me, and your grandfather will make his own judgment."

Shen Qingtang choked up as she spoke.

On the way back to the manor, Tang'er met the second young lady of the Yin family, Yin Yuzhu. Since she knew her from the other day, she exchanged a few words with her.

The Prime Minister's wife frowned.

"The second young lady of the Marquis Yin's mansion, the one whose engagement was broken off by the Duke's mansion? Tang'er, what's the point of talking to someone like that!"

"Let her finish speaking!"

The prime minister hurriedly pressed, "Tang'er, what did you say to her?"

Shen Qingtang thought for a moment, then hesitated and said,

"It was just some ordinary conversation. I only remember asking her why she wasn't in the palace, and she said she was too busy. She also asked me how the lotus flowers in the palace were this year..."

The prime minister's wife said, puzzled, "They are indeed just ordinary words. What's so strange about them?"

Shen Qingtang bit her lip.

"It's not strange that she said a few words, but what's strange is that Tang'er doesn't remember anything after meeting Yin Yuzhu."

I don't know how I ended up in the woods outside the city. When I woke up, I found out...

"The Marquis Yin's residence? Yin Yuzhu, Yin Liuli..."

The prime minister pondered the name several times, then frowned deeply and said, "Isn't she the sister of the female assistant appointed by His Majesty? Did she do something to you?"

Shen Qingtang looked blank and said, "Tang'er really doesn't know. Tang'er just thought it was strange, so she said a few words to her, and then she doesn't remember anything after that."

The prime minister suddenly clenched his fist and said in a sharp voice,

"This matter is indeed strange, we must get to the bottom of it! Tang'er, take good care of yourself, Grandfather is going to meet that second young lady of the Yin Marquis's mansion."

……

Here, Chu Lingyun also briefly wrote down what had happened.

He was traveling outside the capital when he suddenly found an empty carriage in the woods. Several maids, servants, the coachman, and his attendants were lying on the ground, unconscious.

It must be the owner of this carriage who was kidnapped.

Chu Lingyun then searched inside the carriage and found a woman's long hair on the cushion.

He used the woman's long hair as a clue and employed search techniques to find her whereabouts.

But they gained nothing.

The talisman for finding people rarely fails; it can even locate a body after someone has died.

At the time, Chu Lingyun's judgment was the same as Yin Liuli's: the kidnapped woman should be trapped inside the barrier.

Those who can set up barriers must be highly skilled in magic within the Taoist sect.

However, kidnapping a woman is hardly a respectable act.

Now that he had encountered this situation, he couldn't ignore it.

As she wrote this, Yin Liuli placed her slender hand on the branch and asked curiously,

"The eldest brother also deduced that someone had trapped Miss Shen in a barrier, which ordinary magic could not detect."

I used a blood curse to find my family and that's how I found her. What method did you use?

What other method could be more effective than the blood curse left by the ancestor in the underground vault for finding relatives?

Chu Lingyun smiled helplessly, picked up his pen, and wrote.

There's no other way.

He only had a single long hair in his hand, and he didn't even know what the kidnapped woman looked like, let alone what her relatives were.

The blood curse to find his relatives was impossible to perform; he had no way to go looking for them.

Yin Liuli asked incredulously, "How did you find them if there was no other way?"

"Yes, Brother Chu, although you arrived only a step earlier than us, weren't you also searching for someone?"

Gu Jinyan was also full of curiosity.

Chu Lingyun sighed softly, pointed to the roof, and wrote, "Fate."

Although he wanted to save the person, there was nowhere to be found, so he had no choice but to give up.

Knowing that Yin Liuli was already in the capital, he did not go in, but instead bypassed the city wall and continued on his way.

During my travels, a fellow Daoist told me that in the southeast of the capital, there was an obscure mountain where a great cultivator lived who had somehow managed to safely survive his tribulation.

Chu Lingyun then went to find him.

Unexpectedly, when he went southeast after bypassing the capital, he found a thatched hut by a pond that had been protected by a barrier.

From the outside it looks like a dilapidated thatched hut, but inside there is a whole world to discover.

Chu Lingyun immediately thought of the abducted woman and went forward to check on her.

To avoid alerting the enemy, he did not break through the barrier, but instead used his escape technique to pass through and enter the basement.

Sure enough, they found a young woman dressed in fine clothes lying on the ground.

She was under a curse and had fallen into a coma.

Chu Lingyun didn't know what kind of evil spell had afflicted her, only that if she wasn't saved soon, she would die.

He had no choice but to use silver needles to force the evil energy from Shen Qingtang's body to her throat and suck it out with his lips.

"suck?"

Yin Liuli's eyes widened in surprise. "Senior Brother, you kissed Miss Shen?" she exclaimed.

Gu Jinyan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't interrupt, Brother Chu hasn't finished writing yet!"

Chu Lingyun looked embarrassed and hurriedly wrote,

"No, they only touched lips, not..."

"Lips touching, isn't that a kiss?"

Yin Liuli laughed heartily, shaking Chu Lingyun's arm, and said, "No wonder Miss Shen looked at you so intently when she woke up; it turns out you kissed her!"
