Xiao Xu and Lan Qimeng continued to march towards the Royal City. After passing the bustling Royal City, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden Palace.
Xiao Xu and Lan Qimeng were stopped by the guards. Xiao Xu took off his golden eagle medal from his waist and waved it in front of the guards, who immediately let them go.
The guard apologized repeatedly, "I didn't know that the righteous prince was arriving, so he would not be able to welcome him from afar!"
When the guards nearby heard this, they knelt on both sides of the road to greet him.
Lan Qimeng wondered, "Why do they fear you so much, Xiao Xu!"
Xiao Xu smiled and said proudly, "Because I am the righteous prince, and now I am inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!"
Lan Qimeng curled her lips and said disdainfully, "What does that mean? It's not above the gods!"
Xiao Xu said lightly, "I just want to be an ordinary person. I don't want to be a god or a prince, but destiny is not up to anyone!"
Lan Qimeng smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with being a prince? You'll have fine clothes and fine food, be admired by thousands of people, and enjoy endless glory and wealth. I don't know how many lifetimes you spent cultivating this princely destiny.
!”
Xiao Xu shook his head slightly and said, "I don't care about this!"
Lan Qimeng asked in confusion, "Then what do you care about?"
Xiao Xu sighed softly, "I only care about whether I can be with you!"
Lan Qimeng was shocked when she heard this, "Really, am I not with you now?"
Xiao Xu smiled and said, "Not now!"
Lan Qimeng asked, "When was that?"
Xiao Xu said seriously, "Eternal life!"
Lan Qimeng smiled sweetly, looked at Xiao Xu hesitantly and asked, "Really? Will this take too long?"
Xiao Xu said sincerely and resolutely, "No!"
Lan Qimeng showed a happy expression after hearing this, but the expression faded away.
Lan Qimeng frowned and asked, "There are so many women in the palace, would you say this to all of them?"
Xiao Xu said seriously, "No, I only say this to the people I love!"
Lan Qimeng smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay, you are not allowed to go back on your word!"
At this time, Jiu Chi appeared in front of Xiao Xu and Lan Qimeng, wearing a dragon robe. Xiao Xu was about to kneel down to Jiu Chi, but Jiu Chi stopped him.
Jiu Chi smiled slightly and said, "Prince Yi, you don't need to be polite."
Xiao Xu also smiled lightly and said, "I have been away from the palace for many days, and I miss my brother very much!"
Jiu Chi nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Me too, by the way, have you found your father's body?"
Xiao Xu replied sternly, "I went to Luowushan and investigated. The theft of my father's body was not done by Taoist Taoists. I suspect it was done by demons. On the way back to the royal city, I found the White Dragon Cauldron, but
I was deceived by the devil again on the way."
Jiu Chi frowned slightly and said, "I also think that the theft of my father's body was the work of demons, but there are no clues. Recently, after you left, the ladies in the palace have disappeared frequently. I think this must be the work of demons, but now I
I have just taken over the throne and am busy with national affairs every day. Prince Yi, can you go check on this matter?"
Xiao Xu kowtowed and said, "It is my duty to share the emperor's worries, and I accept my order!"
Jiu Chi smiled and said to Lan Qimeng, "The fairy has also come to the palace?"
Lan Qimeng smiled lightly and said, "Yes, let's visit Brother Jiuchi's palace."
Jiu Chi said to Xiao Xu, "Take the fairy around the palace, take her to the treasure house, choose your favorite jewelry, ask the imperial chef to cook the most delicious dishes in the palace, and let the fairy try it!"
Xiao Xu obeyed and walked away with Lan Qimeng.
*********************************************
Xiao Xu said to Lan Qimeng, "The emperor just said that there is a demon in the palace. Now I want to get rid of the demon first, and then take you to visit the palace. I will first ask a few palace ladies to take you back to my palace to rest!"
Lan Qimeng smiled lightly and said, "It's such a fun thing to do to eliminate demons, why don't you call me?"
Xiao Xu frowned and said, "It's not fun to get rid of demons. You might even lose your life."
Lan Qimeng smiled sweetly and said, "Then I must go!"
Xiao Xu asked in confusion, "Why?"
Lan Qimeng chuckled and said, "If your life is gone, who will accompany me forever?"
Xiao Xu thought to himself, "It doesn't matter, she is a fairy anyway, and maybe her magic power is stronger than mine. If I take her with me, she might be able to help me if something unexpected happens."
"Okay then, don't cause any trouble!" Xiao Xu said with a smile.
Xiao Xu asked several palace ladies and guards and got a preliminary understanding of recent events in the palace.
There is something fishy about it, that is, the temperament of the seventh princess has changed drastically. The former lively and lively seventh princess has become taciturn. The seventh princess who used to love leaving the palace now never leaves the palace.
However, the fact that the Seventh Princess did not leave the palace does not mean that the Seventh Princess is related to the demon. Perhaps the death of the late emperor had a great impact on the Seventh Princess.
As the half-brother of the seventh princess, Xiao Xu is completely necessary to care for his sister.
Xiao Xu ordered his men to prepare many gifts and went to visit the seventh princess.
Xiao Xu, Lan Qimeng and several guards entered the princess's palace. They were surprised that the princess's palace was deserted and not even a single eunuch could be seen.
Xiao Xu asked the guards to search around for the princess's whereabouts.
After a while, several guards came back and said, "Your Highness, the princess's palace is empty. The surroundings have been searched."
Xiao Xu thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you have searched all around?"
A guard said, "Only the maze in the princess palace has not been searched!"
Xiao Xu asked in confusion, "Why don't you search?"
The guard replied, "The maze is very big. If you go in, you might not be able to get out!"
It turns out that the Seventh Princess likes hiding cats very much. Emperor Shotoku ordered someone to build a huge maze in order to adapt to the princess's interests.
As for the method of entering and exiting the maze, only the seventh princess and a few maids in the princess's palace know.
Xiao Xu looked at Lan Qimeng and said, "Let's go to the maze together."
Xiao Xu and Lan Qimeng entered the maze and saw various marks on the walls of the maze, but they didn't know what they meant.
The walls of the maze are of various heights, and the maze is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. Everyone stops after taking a few steps because there is a fork in the road ahead.
Xiao Xu paused and asked, "Who knows how to get out of the maze?"
A smart guard said, "I know, take a bucket of paint and mark the places you pass!"
Xiao Xu said to the guard, "This is a good idea. You are responsible for finding a bucket of paint."
Xiao Xu and the guards were waiting for the guard carrying the paint. At this time, Lan Qimeng said, "No need for paint, everyone, follow me!"
Xiao Xu had no doubts about Lan Qimeng's strength and intelligence, and followed Lan Qimeng around the maze.
After walking for a long time, he still couldn't find the exit of the maze. Xiao Xu saw that the passages in these mazes were all the same, and thought to himself, "Oh no, I won't be trapped in it!"
At this time, Lan Qimeng said excitedly, "Look ahead, there is the exit of the maze."
Everyone looked in the direction of Lan Qimeng's finger, and sure enough, the exit in front was a different color from the previous intersection.
Everyone walked over and saw a study room at the end of the maze.
The princess was holding a dead palace maid in her study, sucking the soul. Next to her lay the corpses of a group of palace maids.
Xiao Xu was shocked when he saw this, and shouted, "You are so bold and evil, you dare to suck the souls of strangers in the palace!"
The seventh princess stood up, her mouth full of blood, and laughed loudly, "Humph! Here are a few more people who are willing to die, please sacrifice your souls."
Xiao Xu was afraid of hurting the seventh princess's body, so he pretended to attack the seventh princess.
At this time, the seventh princess did not give way. A plume of black smoke came out from the seventh princess's body, and the black smoke gathered into a monster that looked like a woman.
Xiao Xu was surprised and said, "Ximing Enchantress!"
When all the guards saw the demon appearing, they all stabbed it with their spears.
Xiao Xu shouted, "Everyone, be careful and get out of the way!"
But it was too late, the guards were ejected by a flash of black light, fell to the ground and struggled for a while, then all died.
Ximing Enchantress looked at Xiao Xu and said, "It's your turn!"
Xiao Xu couldn't move the King Ming's dharma body, and used the strongest of the Lingwu Fulong Saber Techniques, the "Dharma Realm No Dragon" technique, to strike at the devil.
However, Ximing Enchantress just waved her hand, and a black light flicked Xiao Xu away. Xiao Xu hit the wall, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and happened to hit a mechanism on the wall. A door opened on the wall, and a secret room appeared.
In front of you.
Ximing Enchantress looked at Lan Qimeng, put her palm towards Lan Qimeng, and a black light flew towards Lan Qimeng.
Lan Qimeng said, "The flower of nothingness on the other side!"
Twelve blue morning glory-shaped flowers appeared in front of Lan Qimeng. The black light was divided into twelve rays, sucked into the heart of the flower and disappeared.
The Enchantress of the West Ming Dynasty had not recovered from her old injuries in the battle with Master Zhiguang, so she resorted to absorbing people's souls to replenish her demonic energy. This time she encountered a strong opponent and had to fly into the secret room.
Lan Qimeng and Xiao Xu carefully sneaked into the secret room. There was no one in the secret room, except for a dragon robe. But who did this dragon robe belong to?
I went out of the secret room to see the Seventh Princess. She had died because she had no soul.
