The old princess had her eyes tightly closed, her jaw clenched, and her face was frighteningly pale.

"Ah Ying! Ah Ying..."

There was almost no breath coming from her mouth and nose. Prince Shan trembled and reached out his finger to check her nose. His vision went black and he almost fainted.

Before Yin Liuli could step forward, the people in the room rushed forward and actually pushed her out.

Like dutiful sons and grandsons, they surrounded the old princess, wailing and screaming.

"Father! Quickly, bring me the nitroglycerin!"

"Grandma! What's wrong?"

"Father, Mother... she seems to have stopped breathing..."

……

Yin Liuli, "..."

I asked if we could go see the person now!

We just removed the evil spirit from the old princess and haven't even stabilized her spirit yet, and you're already so eager to act like filial sons and grandsons and go to mourn her?

"Who are you? What... what have you done to Grandma?!"

In the chaos, a young lady dressed in fine silk and with tears streaming down her face suddenly stood up from the crowd and glared angrily at Yin Liuli.

Yin Liuli blinked. "Me?"

"Grandma is no longer alive!"

Princess Linghua, tears streaming down her face, said angrily, "Before you came, Grandmother was perfectly fine. Who knew what you were up to, playing some kind of trick, and then...she..."

Yin Liuli frowned and interrupted her.

"If you have time to question me, you might as well step aside."

"I forbid you from touching Grandma again!"

Princess Linghua cried out in grief and indignation, spreading her arms to block Yin Liuli, "You killed her, it was you!"

I said, move aside!

A hint of impatience flashed in Yin Liuli's clear eyes.

"Get out!"

Princess Linghua raised her hand and gave her a hard shove on the shoulder.

Caught off guard, Yin Liuli was pushed and stumbled.

"Liuli!"

Gu Jinyan quickly helped her up, his handsome face darkening suddenly. "Ling Hua, what are you doing!"

Ling Hua pointed at Yin Liuli, her voice filled with grief and indignation, "Brother Yan, she..."

"Snap"

Before she could finish speaking, Yin Liuli slapped her across the face.

The room, which was filled with wailing and chaos, suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Yin Liuli and Princess Linghua.

"You hit me?"

Princess Linghua covered her burning face, her eyes wide with disbelief. "You...who do you think you are, to hit me like that?"

"And what are you?"

Yin Liuli glanced at her with disgust. "You pushed me; you asked for it!"

Gu Jinyan stood tall beside Yin Liuli, glaring fiercely at Ling Hua.

"She's my Crown Princess, how dare she hit you? Ling Hua, don't you dare be so insolent!"

A flash of jealousy crossed Princess Linghua's eyes as she cried out,

"I'm being presumptuous? Brother Yan, she killed Grandmother, and you're still protecting her!"

Gu Jinyan frowned coldly.

"Why shouldn't I protect my woman?"

Princess Linghua felt a sharp pang in her heart.

As soon as Yin Liuli entered, with Gu Jinyan closely following her, she knew who Yin Liuli was.

She loved following Gu Jinyan around since she was little, and as she grew up, she fell in love with his handsome appearance and free-spirited nature.

Although they are both descendants of the royal family, they are not from the same branch of the family and can marry each other.

Ling Hua had always harbored that thought, but unfortunately Princess Cheng Yi didn't think much of her.

Who would have thought that Yin Liuli would become his Crown Prince's wife!

When Linghua saw her, she felt an indescribable jealousy and discomfort.

She had only pushed Yin Liuli a little, and Gu Jinyan's face had already turned frighteningly dark.

"She's not even dead yet, and you're already rushing to mourn her? Are you really hoping for the old princess to die?"

Yin Liuli's face showed impatience as she shouted, "If you don't move aside, the old princess will be killed by you filial sons and grandsons!"

"Get out of my way... get out of my way! Ah Ying isn't dead yet, what are you all wailing about!"

Prince Shan, panting, shouted, "Please, please invite Princess Anle over!"

He almost fainted because he couldn't catch his breath, and all he could hear was a jumble of noises around him.

After taking the heart-saving pill, he was able to speak after a while. Unexpectedly, Ling Hua started fighting with Yin Liuli.

Yin Liuli can catch demons and monsters with ease, so it's no wonder Ling Hua got slapped for daring to pick a fight with her.

"grandfather……"

Ling Hua's face flushed red with resentment. She was about to say something when Prince Shan glared at her, silencing her.

"Princess Anle, what happened to the Princess Consort?"

Yin Liuli walked past Princess Linghua without even glancing at her, and said indifferently,

"Your Highness need not worry. The old princess was possessed by a demon that drained her vital energy. She has fainted from exhaustion."

"A demon? A monster?"

Prince Shan looked utterly astonished. "What demon? How could there be a demon in my residence..."

"Utter nonsense!"

Linghua scoffed angrily, "Grandfather, don't listen to her. There are no monsters in this world..."

"When I'm doing something, I hate it when others talk too much."

With a flick of her finger, Yin Liuli transformed a "sealing talisman" into a ray of light and sent it flying.

"Ugh? Ugh ugh ugh ugh..."

Ling Hua stared wide-eyed in horror, feeling as if her mouth had been zipped up, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open it.

"Linghua, just calm down!"

Prince Shan glared at her helplessly, his bloodshot eyes pleadingly fixed on Yin Liuli.

"She's just being silly, Your Highness, please don't hold it against her... What kind of monster is in this courtyard?"

Yin Liuli said casually,

"A koi fish. The old princess keeps several koi fish in this courtyard, one of which has already developed sentience and is about to transform into a demon."

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she spotted a koi that stood out from the rest of the fishpond, among several plump koi.

The moment Yin Liuli met the fish's gaze, she saw a hint of evil in its eyes that did not belong to an animal.

It was a kind of greedy evil that coveted the natural yang energy within a person.

It was even scrutinizing Yin Liuli, seemingly disliking the primordial yang energy on Yin Liuli's body, which it felt was inferior to the primordial yang energy on Gu Jinyan's body behind her.

Yin Liuli sneered inwardly; the spiritual energy emanating from this giant koi was indeed quite abundant.

It should taste delicious.

"Can fish transform into monsters?"

Prince Shan looked completely astonished.

"All things in the world, even plants, trees, soil, and stones, can absorb the essence of the sun and moon and transform into demons and spirits, let alone things with flesh and blood?"

Yin Liuli nodded and said,

"They absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, or encounter an opportunity, and develop spirituality and consciousness, and then they cultivate to transform into demons and spirits."

The fastest way to transform into a demon is to absorb the vital essence of a living person; the old princess fell victim to this.

It was just a hair's breadth away from transforming into human form after absorbing the old princess's yang energy, thus undergoing a complete metamorphosis.

Before the words were even finished, a collective gasp filled the room.

"Mother...the koi fish Mother raised has turned into a monster?"

"The old princess usually loves raising and watching fish, so how could she have raised a monster?"

"Isn't that pond full of koi fish supposed to be feng shui fish?"

……

Yin Liuli said calmly,

"I'm just wondering, the old princess's fish pond doesn't seem like the kind of place that could raise demons."

Where did that koi fish that transformed into a demon come from?
