Chapter 346 A Sudden Crisis
“The imperial palace...”
Commander Wang changed slightly. After a moment, he repulsed the forbidden guards behind him. He then said in a low voice, “Senior and Fourteenth Princess, you’d better not go to the imperial palace now!”
Fan Zisang frowned, and Jin Ying was more confused, asking, “Why?”
Commander Wang sighed, “This is not the place to talk. Let’s talk about it in another place.”
“Well, the winery over there.”
Fan Zisang nodded, pointing at the three-story building not far away, and between them they pulled Su Li and Jin Ying forward. Commander Wang noticed at the moment that there was a younger girl. Besides, she was more delicate and beautiful than Fourteenth Princess.
But he was worried about something else, so he didn’t care too much about Su Li.
A moment later, those four people sat down in the winery, and Commander Wang instructed the waiter to serve green tea. After that, he organized some words and finally said, “Your Princess, since you and Thirteenth Prince left, the imperial palace was in disorder!”
“His Majesty failed to break through in the deep palace during the isolation, and was seriously injured by reversed effect. Although the news was immediately oppressed by Her Highness, I don’t know who spread it, which made the whole palace knew it!”
“The honest princes were all ready to do something, and the harem was even in chaos. Every day, many agents went in to inquire about the isolation position of His Majesty, which is impossible to guard against! And many princesses and princes have been killed in!”
“Not long ago, I received news that someone saw you in the clothes shop and thought someone was posing, but I didn’t expect it to be true. At this point, you can’t go back, Princess!”
Fan Zisang nodded gently and observed with his spirit awareness. Naturally, he could see that what Commander Wang said was true and sincere with no falsification. As for the turmoil happened in the royal family, he would take it easy if he stood up to fight. But... he turned his eyes and fell on Jin Ying.
“What about my mother? Has she been hurt?”
Jin Ying looked a little pale. She tightly grasped the edge of the tablecloth and stared at Commander Wang.
Commander Wang gave a wry smile. He was very close to Concubine Ling. He had expected that Fourteenth Princess would have this question, but it was useless to lie at present, so he could only tell the truth,
“A few days ago, the bedchamber of Concubine Ling was smashed to pieces. Fortunately, she had some cultivation and escaped quickly without being crushed. However, she was slapped in the chest by the baddy and hasn’t woke up yet.”
“What?!”
Jin Ying immediately stood up and looked at Fan Zisang for help, “Senior Fellow Apprentice, I’m going to the imperial palace...”
Fan Zisang smiled and touched Jin Ying’s head, saying, “Go if you want. Don’t be afraid. I am by your side. Maybe I can cure your mother’s injury.”
Jin Ying immediately smiled through tears with a pleasant surprise, “Yes, Senior Fellow Apprentice, you are the disciple of Mount Head and you are powerful. It is not difficult for you to cure my mother. So, Commander Wang, please lead us into the palace quickly!”
Commander Wang nodded and led the way. He was shocked that the young man was the disciple of Mount Head of Huajian sect, then wasn’t Fourteenth Princess...
Recalling the tough situation of Concubine Ling in these years, Commander Wang gave a sigh of relief, for she was finally able to be saved.
Su Li followed Fan Zisang silently, showing seriousness in her eyes. Since she met Commander Wang, she hadn’t said a word, but watched quietly.
In her vision, there was a faint black air around Commander Wang. Although it was not obvious, it could be seen with a little attention.
She had just been observing Fan Zisang’s reaction, but found that he looked as usual and was not aware of it.
Only she could see.
With this conclusion in mind, Su Li became more serious. Was Black Lotus Ring making troubles, or... her body of evil ghost?
Apart from these two things, she couldn’t think of anything that could make her surpass Fan Zisang at present.
“Tantai Feng once said that every member of Ghost Clan could have a unique talent. Although there are many kinds, they are all powerful. The body of evil ghost was a taboo for Ghost Clan, so it must also have a talent. Is that my talent?”
She frowned slightly, but what did these black air stand for?
Black Lotus Ring had no response and no one could tell her. She could only grope by herself.
Under the protection of the forbidden guards, they walked through the long palace gate to the rather desolate front hall square. Commander Wang took them to the harem without stopping.
On the way, they could hardly see palace maids and eunuchs. Instead, there were many piled yellow leaves dancing with the wind on the ground. It was a desolate scene everywhere.
Fan Zisang became serious, for the situation in the palace seemed more serious than he imagined.
At this time, Commander Wang stopped in front of an old palace with a small area and mottled walls, saying, “Here we are. Concubine Ling was temporarily in here.”
Jin Ying was stunned and exclaimed, “Isn’t this Cold Palace?! Commander Wang...”
Commander Wang sighed again, and he didn’t speak, just let everyone in.
Jin Ying was the first one to open the door. At a glance, she saw the old maid squatting beside the medicine stove in the yard. When the maid heard the voice and looked up, she was surprised and happy, “Princess, you are back!”
After saying that, the old maid realized something. Her face immediately changed, “Your Princess, aren’t you...”
She was full of humiliation when she recalled that the princess was required as a concubine by Thirteenth Prince to go to the sect together a few months ago.
Could it be that Thirteenth Prince get tired of her in such a short time?
“Mammy Hui, it’s not what you think.”
Commander Wang was anxious and interpreted when he saw that Mammy Hui was stunned by what Jin Ying explained, “I’ll explain it to you later. The top priority is to see Her Highness. This is the senior disciple from the sect. He must have ways to cure her!”
When Mammy Hui heard these words, she was so happy and immediately stood up and saluted to Fan Zisang, “Immortal, please cure Her Highness.”
Fan Zisang said nothing but smiled, “Lead the way ahead.”
“Alright!”
Mammy Hui opened the door of the side hall, and they streamed in. When Su Li stepped into the door and saw the dark picture in the room, she couldn’t help but stop.
Sensing this change, Fan Zisang was shocked and asked softly, “What’s the matter?”
He saw that the girl frowned all the way.
Su Li shook her head and didn’t speak. Even if she did, Fan Zisang would not believe it.
The room was full of black air visible to the naked eye. The more inside, the stronger. At the moment when she stepped into the room, she could feel that a natural force in her body suddenly shook.
Fan Zisang didn’t know the reason, but it wasn’t the time to explore. He took Su Li to go inside and soon came to the bedside in which a pale but beautiful woman lay quietly with her chest slightly undulating.
“Mother!”
Jin Ying was red-rimmed eyes instantly, and she was about to pounce on the bedside, while Fan Zisang did not let go of her hand. She raised her head in amazement, “Senior Fellow Apprentice?”
Fan Zisang frowned tightly, because the woman made him feel very bad, just like... the demon he once met in that place. Her strange pneuma made him feel uncomfortable, as if he was stared at by something unlucky.
All of a sudden, he thought of Su Li’s action before entered the room. Could it be that... his junior sister apprentice was aware of it at that time.
Fan Zisang surprisingly looked back and found that Su Li was looking at the woman with gloomy eyes. To be exact, Su Li was looking at her shoulder.
Gloomy?
Did a 14-year-old girl have such a look?
Fan Zisang was shocked. Looking again, he found that Su Li was innocent and her eyes were clear but full of confusion, as if all he had seen before were illusions.
“Wasn’t it that the weird feeling that made me hallucinate?!”
Fan Zisang was slightly awed and immediately let go of the two. He gestured and shouted lightly, “Both heaven and earth have spirit, and all things gather together!”
As soon as he said, a light blue protection boundary immediately covered all the people in the house, and even Concubine Ling lying on the bed.
In Su Li’s vision, the black air like ink was pushed out by the protection boundary, but in a second, the black air seemed to be boiling, crazily drilling into the protection boundary, and the direction was the shoulder of Concubine Ling!
“No!”
As Fan Zisang sensed the frantic strange pneuma, his face was as pale as papers. He immediately sat down with his legs crossed and crazily gestured. He struggled to resist the black air that wanted to enter the protection boundary.
Since he had promised his junior sister apprentice, he would not go back on his words. Whether he could save Concubine Ling or not, he would have a try.
“What’s the matter? Senior Fellow Apprentice, what’s wrong with you?!”
Fan Zisang didn’t have time to explain. Jin Ying didn’t know the situation and became flustered. Commander Wang and Mammy Hui were also quite bewildered. They couldn’t touch the real cultivation at their level, let alone the means of a practitioner in Zhuji Realm.
“Senior Fellow Apprentice...”
Jin Ying looked at Fan Zisang whose eyes were closed. She wanted to go up and hold his sleeve, but at this time, she saw a hand in front of her.
“He can’t be distracted now. You take Commander Wang and Mammy Hui out now.”
Hearing this extremely calm words, Jin Ying immediately recollected herself and saw that it was Su Li who stopped her.
“Junior Sister Apprentice Su, you must have a way, right?!”
Jin Ying’s eyes suddenly brightened. She knew that Su Li had some unknown secrets. Commander Wang and Mammy Hui hesitated, for the girl looked smaller than the princess. And since the princess called her “junior sister apprentice”, she obviously joined the sect later than the princess. How could she have a way.
Was the princess muddled?
“Princess, it’s urgent to...”
Commander Wang wanted to say something, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by a cold voice, “Now go.”
Su Li looked a little gloomy.
She had to stand out, otherwise, when Fan Zisang could not bear it and got serious injury, she would lose a temporary strength to protect her, and the possibility of exposure would be greater.
It was better for her to show it a little right now. Fan Zisang had no time to be distracted anyway. As long as she drove out others, no one would know her personal action, and there would be no way to prove it.
