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

"What happened to Jia?"

As they stood facing off, the Empress, looking extremely haggard, rushed over, supported by her nanny. "Where is she...where is the child!"

Upon hearing from a maid that the young lord had clashed with the crown prince's wife and fallen into the pond, the empress, who had just changed her clothes, immediately felt a pang of anxiety.

Ignoring the tightness and pain in his chest, he helped the old woman and rushed to the side courtyard.

The moment the Empress arrived, the room fell completely silent.

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow, "Your Majesty, you've finally arrived! The young master..."

"Alright."

The Empress waved her hand, her gaze sweeping across the scene. She immediately spotted Xiao Huanjia, who was still struggling in the pool, while Yin Liuli stood calmly on the shore and Gu Jinyan looked on with amusement.

Xiao Huanjia stood in the water with only his arm and head showing. His small body trembled from being soaked in the pool water, and water dripped from his hair.

He stared intently at Yin Liuli, his eyes like poisoned hooks, filled with resentment and hatred.

Her little face was deathly pale with fright, covered in what looked like either tears or pool water—she looked utterly disheveled.

This child is the only direct grandson of the fourth generation of the Xiao family. It would be a lie to say that they don't feel sorry for him!

"Yan'er, Liuli, I heard that this child from the Huan family offended you?"

The Empress, clutching her chest, said weakly, "He's just a child after all. A little punishment will suffice as a warning. For my sake, let him go."

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly. "That won't do!"

"Ugh! Ugh ugh ugh ugh..."

Upon seeing his backer, Xiao Huanjia twisted his body desperately, making even more rapid "uh-uh" sounds, his eyes filled with tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

The Empress frowned, let out a long sigh, and said...

"Liuli, you are still Jia's cousin-in-law. Considering that he is still young, forgive his mistakes. Let Grandmother give him a good scolding and avenge you."

Actually, I know he's incredibly unruly. I brought him in to raise him and teach him. We'll take it slowly..."

"Your Majesty, this child is not as simple as just being unruly."

Yin Liuli wasn't quite used to addressing the Empress as her maternal grandmother, and simply said in a cold voice,

"He first took pleasure in torturing and killing birds and dissecting fish alive, and then deliberately dragged a maid into the water, almost causing a major disaster."

He dares to kill fish today, he dares to kill people tomorrow! He's filled with malice and acts cruelly; I fear he'll cause even greater trouble in the future. We can't wait to teach him a lesson slowly!

"Well……"

The Empress's face paled, and she was rendered speechless by what she said.

She felt sorry for her grandnephew, but she also knew that what Yin Liuli said was true.

Xiao Huanjia was indeed spoiled since childhood, and he has caused a lot of trouble for Heng'er's family.

"Even so, there should be a limit. Jia's body is weak; how can he stay in the pool for so long?"

She forced a smile and said gently, "Liuli, why don't you lift the spell first and let Eunuch Li bring him ashore? I will then give him a stern reprimand."

Yin Liuli shook her head, her determination leaving no room for doubt.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It seems that there is an extremely violent and turbid energy lurking deep within the young lord's primordial spirit, and it is particularly severe today."

If we rashly untie it now, this malevolent energy might backfire, not only making the young lord's temperament even more twisted and eccentric, but also potentially implicating those close to him, bringing undeserved disaster upon them.

Her words stunned not only the Empress, but also Gu Jinyan, who was standing next to her, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a more inquisitive gaze.

"Primordial spirit? Turbid energy?"

The Empress's heart skipped a beat. Although she was not skilled in magic, she understood its mysteries. "Liuli, why do you say that? And why do you even..."

Yin Liuli fixed her gaze on the jade bracelet on the Empress's wrist and frowned.

"Have you noticed anything unusual about this jade bracelet on your wrist lately?"

The Empress subconsciously raised her hand to look at the jade bracelet, and asked in confusion, "No, nothing at all. I wear it often. It's smooth and flawless, and there's nothing wrong with it. Why do you ask this?"

Yin Liuli said with a solemn expression,

"Does Your Majesty know why Liuli asked you for this bracelet? At the wedding, I vaguely sensed that this bracelet was tainted with an extremely cold and turbid aura."

When I came into contact with Xiao Huanjia just now, I found that his aura was the same as the malevolent aura on the young master. It must be because his malevolent aura had recently erupted, which had invisibly eroded the spiritual object that the empress wore close to her body.

If this energy is not removed, it may harm the Empress's health and even bring about a calamity!

The Empress instinctively touched the bracelet, her expression changing involuntarily.

When Liuli said that, she did feel that the jade bracelet was a bit cooler than usual, but she had never thought about it in that way before.

Moreover, she brought Huanjia into the palace to avoid trouble, and these past few days she has indeed felt unwell, with her chest pains becoming more and more frequent.

"Is this really true?"

But this jade bracelet held extraordinary significance. The Empress looked at Yin Liuli, her tone becoming more serious, "Liuli, do you know how to resolve this?"

Yin Liuli nodded.

"Of course, Your Majesty, Gu Jinyan and I chased after you into the palace for this very thing."

It requires the use of the Purifying Yin and Cleansing Sha Talisman, combined with my Samadhi True Fire, to cleanse the turbid energy.

only……"

She paused, then changed the subject, saying bluntly, "This method is quite powerful. This jade bracelet will likely lose all its spiritual essence after undergoing this ordeal, and may even shatter."

Even if it breaks, it must be suppressed with a talisman and buried deep underground... because jade has its own spirit, and by being in daily contact with the goddess, it will absorb her aura.

The Empress felt a sharp pang in her heart, and her face showed distress.

This was passed down from her mother, and she couldn't bear to destroy the jade bracelet in order to ward off bad luck.

Just as the Empress hesitated, a faint golden light appeared on Yin Liuli's fingertips, and she casually pointed at the jade bracelet on the Empress's wrist.

A wisp of spiritual light entwined around the jade bracelet. Suddenly, a layer of extremely fine gray-black mist appeared on the originally warm and translucent surface of the jade bracelet, as if it were a living thing struggling and moving inside the jade. Although it was quickly dispersed by the spiritual light, that fleeting, gloomy aura clearly fell into the Empress's eyes.

The Empress was startled; it was a truly visceral feeling of filth!

Yin Liuli withdrew her hand and said calmly,

"Your Majesty, please look. This is the manifestation of turbid energy. It has already invaded the inside of the jade bracelet. If it weren't for the Heavenly Eye of Glass, ordinary people would not be able to detect it at all."

This energy grows stronger with stronger conditions; it has already begun to erode the spirit jade. If it continues to accumulate, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Empress felt a chill in her heart.

On one end was the family heirloom her mother had given her, and on the other end was her own life and safety.

Both sides are important, how is she supposed to choose?

If this thing has been cleansed of its impurities, then it's fine to keep it. Even if I never touch it again, it would be good to just keep it as a collection!

Unfortunately, Liuli said she used magic, so the bracelet shattered and had to be buried...
