Late at night, in Zi Yue's palace. As usual, the palace would become very quiet as soon as night fell. The lights in all the bedchambers were switched off one after another, and only a few places had faint lights flashing. It was most likely the Emperor's study. After all, he was the ruler of a country. There were always endless memorials to be dealt with, but most of them were trivial matters that made the Emperor Zhao Chenhao's head swell. That was exactly what happened tonight. In the Emperor's study, on the soft bed. A large pile of memorials was placed on the table in front of him. The candlelight flickered beside him, and the Emperor was frowning as he flipped through them page by page, frowning from time to time. According to common sense, the Emperor would not usually work until late at night. However, for some reason, he felt uneasy and could not sleep well tonight. At first, he thought that it was because there was no one to accompany him to bed. He did not know why Consort Xian was not in the palace either. The Empress had just given birth. So the emperor tried to find other concubines to replace him, but no matter what, he still couldn't sleep. Therefore, he simply got up and went to the study to review the remaining memorials from the day. At this moment, the sound of light footsteps could be heard in the study, but the Emperor, who was focused on reading the memorial, did not notice it at all. He still had his head lowered. The footsteps got closer and closer until the candlelight could reach them. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Eunuch Li Dequan, the chief eunuch. He held a cup of tea in his hand and gently walked to the Emperor's side."Emperor, it's late at night, it's time to go to bed.”At the same time, he put down the teacup. Although the voice was very soft, it still startled the emperor who was concentrating. He raised his head slightly angrily,"What are you doing, Li Dequan? Can't you see that Zhen is reading the memorial?" Upon hearing this, Li Dequan saw the Emperor's obviously unhappy expression and immediately knelt down in fear.""Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This old servant didn't do it on purpose. This old servant deserves to die!”He kowtowed repeatedly. The Emperor was not an unreasonable person. Seeing him like this, he knew that he did not do it on purpose. Moreover, Li Dequan had followed him for so many years. He could not bear to punish him for such a small matter. So he sighed and said,"Sigh." Dequan, get up. I forgive you."
"Thank you, Emperor!" Li Dequan felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly thanked him and got up. Sigh. This was how it was in the palace. One had to be careful everywhere. One carelessness could lead to death. There was nothing wrong with accompanying the king like accompanying a tiger! Li Dequan gradually calmed down. The Emperor took a sip of tea and continued to read the memorial. A moment later, Li Dequan still couldn't bear to see the Emperor work so hard, so he carefully reminded him again,""Emperor, it's already very late at night.”Hearing this, the Emperor put down the memorial in his hand and pinched his swollen eyes. He said tiredly,"Dequan, you go down and sleep first. I don't know what's wrong with me tonight, but I can't sleep because I'm restless! He did not know where Consort Xian had gone. Now I realize that I can't sleep without her. What do you think is going on?”The Emperor looked at Li Dequan with a questioning gaze, and the latter just smiled.""Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Consort Xian is only going home to visit her relatives and will return to the Palace tomorrow morning. Didn't she ask the emperor for instructions? You're thinking about it again so quickly?" The Emperor patted his forehead and pretended to be enlightened,""Look at zhen's memory. She did say that she wanted to go home and that there was something. However, there were only three people in Consort Xian's family, Prime Minister Li, and Imperial Sister, right? What can happen?" The Emperor asked doubtfully. "Speaking of sister Bingyue, I haven't seen her for a long time. I wonder if she's doing well?"”Hearing this, Li Dequan frowned slightly. What was wrong with the Emperor tonight? She kept thinking about the past. The Emperor is not usually like this! However, what he did not know was that Zhao Chenhao's protective Dragon Qi was getting weaker and weaker. The black Qi around him was getting thicker and thicker, and the black Qi between his eyebrows was spreading wider and wider. It seemed that if he did not save him in time, he would not live long. Sighing slightly, the Emperor wanted to lower his head to read the memorial again, but who knew that at this moment, an extremely irritable emotion suddenly appeared in his heart, and he could not calm down no matter what. Therefore, he put it down and said to Li Dequan,""Serve zhen to bed. I don't know what's going on, but I feel like something is going to happen.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Step by step, he walked towards the bedroom.
At the Prime Minister's Residence of Ziyue Kingdom. It was already late at night. There was no moonlight or starlight. It was terrifyingly dark. The street was extremely quiet. Only a night watchman slowly walked past the doors of every house. However, this was also the last time he knocked on the night watchman, because it would be dawn soon. But now was the time when people were sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a dark blue halo brushed past the night watchman's shoulder. Before he could react, the halo disappeared instantly. The man was stunned for a moment before he let out a blood-curdling scream."Ah!" The next moment, he fainted on the spot. In the Prime Minister's residence, everyone, including the maids and servants, had already fallen asleep. Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and a strange figure appeared in the bedroom of Zhang Heng and his wife. The figure was dressed in a black robe. Due to the darkness of the night, his appearance could not be seen clearly. Blue light flashed in its eyes, and its body teleported to Zhang Heng's bed. At this moment, the latter was still sleeping soundly and did not know that his life was on the line. The black figure slowly took off his black robe. Through the faint light, it could be seen that this person was Concubine Xian, Li Baoxian. Suddenly, a strange gust of cold wind blew outside the window, and the house dogs of each house started barking at the same time. Everything was strange. Zhang Heng seemed to be startled by something and moved his body. Li Baoxian's demonic claws that were about to reach out to him paused. However, he soon realized that the former did not wake up. He just rolled over and continued to sleep soundly. Li Baoxian's eyes flashed coldly." If you want to blame someone, blame your nosy daughter. Don't worry. I'll get her to accompany you soon." Oh, right, he's an immortal. When the time comes, he probably won't even leave his soul behind! So you can leave first!" As he spoke, his right hand instantly reached out. His nails suddenly became extremely sharp, and a snake's tongue actually protruded from his mouth. This should be Li Baoxian's true face. Just as Li Baoxian's hand was about to grab Zhang Heng's neck, Mrs. Zhang, who was beside him, suddenly woke up. Seeing a terrifying hand reaching out to her master, she screamed in panic. At the same time, she curled up into a ball and looked at the terrifying monster in front of her in horror. The moment Madam called out, Zhang Heng was awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the monster in front of him was reaching out a terrifying hand to strangle his neck. Instinctively, he jumped off the bed and grabbed his wife at the same time. The two of them retreated repeatedly, but they managed to avoid the disaster temporarily. Li Baoxian saw that the two of them had woken up. To be on the safe side, she instantly changed her appearance. Although she couldn't see anything clearly now, she always tried to be foolproof, so she instantly made a decision to change her appearance first. Of course, the voice changed as well.
"You. Who are you? Why? He wanted to kill me. You want to kill us?" Zhang Heng asked as he retreated. After all, he was the Prime Minister of a country, so he had the ability to control himself. However, he was still a mortal. Facing such a terrifying thing that he did not know if it was a human or a ghost, even a ghost would not be able to lie if he said he was not afraid! Compared to Zhang Heng, the madam at the side was already crying in fear. After all, she was a woman, and her psychological endurance was much weaker. Perhaps Li Baoxian was getting impatient. She glared at her and Madam fainted immediately. Zhang Heng was even more afraid. The things around her kept throwing at the monster in front of her, but every time they reached the monster, they would fall, unable to hurt her at all. Li Baoxian closed in step by step, while Zhang Heng retreated step by step. The former had a ferocious and terrifying expression, while the latter's legs were trembling and his face was ashen. Finally, when Zhang Heng retreated to a corner of the room, he tripped over something and immediately fell to the ground. At this moment, Li Baoxian looked at him like a cat playing with a mouse and sneered.""Run, run again! Haha." Zhang Heng turned around with difficulty and forced himself to face it. He said with fear,"You. What are you…Who exactly are you? What grudge do I have with you? You want to kill me?" Hearing this, Li Baoxian's face turned extremely cold.""You don't have to care who I am. You just have to know that all of this is your precious daughter's fault! If she didn't meddle in other people's business, you wouldn't have died!”As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again, wanting to take his life in an instant.
"Wait!" Zhang Heng shouted. At this moment, when his life was about to end, he suddenly became calm. He said with unprecedented calmness,"What do you want to do to my daughter? You can kill me, but you can't touch my daughter!”Hearing this, Li Baoxian felt as if she had heard a huge joke.""Haha, I'm not sure. Lord Prime Minister, you still don't forget to show off your official prestige even at the end of your life. Do you think you still have the right to negotiate with me? If you die, your daughter will die even more. You will be reunited soon.”With that, a demonic hand reached for Zhang Heng's neck, and the latter slowly closed his eyes. He didn't expect a person to be so calm at the moment of death.
In the Imperial Palace, in the Yilan House. At this moment, Zhang Zixun did not know what was going on, but she kept pacing back and forth in the room uneasily. Perhaps it was because she had slept all day, but she was not sleepy at all. However, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. She did not know if something was about to happen. She had wanted to imitate the gods on TV and calculate with her fingers, but no matter what she did, it didn't work. In the end, she attributed all of this to her magic power being halved. Zhang Zixun paced back and forth in the room, feeling increasingly flustered and frustrated. After a moment, she finally couldn't take it anymore.”Zhang Zixun shouted. After a while, Qing 'Er hurriedly ran out of the inner room. Her clothes were a little messy. Clearly, she had just been woken up from her sleep.
"Miss, what's the matter? Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's so late!" Qing 'Er said sleepily. He thought to himself, You slept the whole day, but we haven't slept yet! Now that he's energetic, he still wants us to be unable to sleep.”
"Aiya, Qing 'Er, I don't know what's going on either. I just can't sleep!”" It's not because I slept during the day," Zhang Zixun said helplessly." It's just that I don't know what's going on. I'm panicking. I keep feeling that something is going to happen." What do you think it is?" Zhang Zixun pulled Qing 'Er to the side and asked.
"Miss, I'm no longer a god! Speaking of which, you're the immortal, right? Why are you so restless? Try to calm your mind and activate the Calming Spell. That way, you can fall asleep.”Qing Er said in a daze. She was really sleepy and did not want to be entangled with this energetic young lady anymore. The simplest method was self-hypnosis. After Qing 'er left, Zhang Zixun sat cross-legged and regulated her breathing according to her instructions. It did not take long for her to recover. She was starting to feel sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep on the bed, an image suddenly flashed in her mind. It was her father, Premier Zhang, who was being strangled by a terrible monster with sharp claws. He looked extremely painful. No matter how he struggled, it was useless. He could not even shout for help. It struggled desperately and desperately. Her mother, on the other hand, was lying unconscious on the side. It looked like she had fainted from shock. However, his face was still pale and bloodless. She looked at the monster that was strangling her father's neck. Its face was extremely ferocious and terrifying, and its eyes were glowing with blue light. Looking closely, there seemed to be a snake tail on its lower body. At this moment, Zhang Zixun shouted,""Stop! Don't do that." He suddenly sat up on the bed, only to find that his forehead was already drenched in sweat. She looked out of the window. The sky was still dark. "No, I have a bad feeling that something has happened to my father.”Although Zhang Heng was only her temporary father in the mortal world, she had to repay the kindness of taking him in. Moreover, Madam's concern for her made her feel her mother's love. Therefore, she had to go back now to make sure that her family was fine before she could rest assured. She immediately got out of bed and tidied up her clothes."Qing `er, Qing` er."
"Miss, what's wrong?" Qing 'Er ran over unwillingly. "Miss, what happened?"”
"I have to go back now. I just dreamed that something happened to my father.”Zhang Zixun held Qing 'Er's hand and said seriously.
"Please, Miss. It was just a dream. You can't take it seriously. Moreover, it was already late at night. Even if he wanted to go back, he would have to wait until tomorrow, right?”Qing 'Er felt even more helpless. Why was this young miss so crazy today?
"No, Qing `er, I have to go back now. I'm afraid that something might really happen to father and mother.”As he spoke, he ignored Qing 'er's obstruction and walked out of the room. Seeing that there was no one around, he closed his eyes and circulated the magic power in his body. In an instant, a purple light flashed and Zhang Zixun disappeared from where she was. Qing 'Er looked at the spot where Zhang Zixun disappeared and her expression changed. She said coldly,"Even if you go back now, I'm afraid you can only collect your parents 'corpses! Humph!" He turned around and entered the room, closing the door with a bang. This was the first time Zhang Zixun had used her immortal energy to fly in the air. She was still not able to control it well and was swaying in the air. However, due to her anxiety, she was using all her strength. Her speed was extremely fast. In less than a minute, a purple light flashed and she had already arrived at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence. However, due to the lack of control over his strength, he fell to the ground."Aiyo, my butt!" Her buttocks came into close contact with the ground. However, now was not the time to care about this. He got up from the ground and was about to rush into the residence. However, at this moment, he saw a person unconscious on the street from the corner of his eye. She carefully walked closer to take a look. It turned out to be a night watchman. After a brief investigation, it turned out that she was just overly frightened.
"Too frightened? What could scare the night watchman who came out every night to faint? Not good!" Zhang Zixun was shocked. She could no longer care about the damage to her body. With a wave of her jade-like hand, she healed that person. Then, he directly entered the residence in a flash. Everything was quiet now. Zhang Zixun didn't notice anything unusual when she walked into the courtyard. Just as she felt a little relieved, she suddenly felt a strong demonic aura coming from the house. He closed his eyes and was shocked. The demonic aura was coming from his parents 'bedroom. Without caring about anything else, he directly flashed and his figure had already arrived in the room. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned. Just like in his dream, Zhang Heng was struggling in the hands of a ferocious demon. It seemed that if he was a step late, he would have lost his life. Looking at the room, it was also a mess. It seemed that there had been a struggle. How could Zhang Heng, a mortal, fight this demon?
"Stop!" Zhang Zixun shouted as the zhenqi in her body surged. Although it was only half, she was still a princess and her magic power was extraordinary. Hearing this, Li Baoxian turned her head. Her face had changed and now looked extremely scary. However, Zhang Zixun could still sense a familiar scent from her.
"You still came." As Li Baoxian spoke, she casually threw Zhang Heng's dying body aside. When Zhang Zixun saw it, she immediately took out a purple silk from her sleeve and caught it gently before slowly putting it down. At this moment, Zhang Heng was already unconscious. Zhang Zixun checked and heaved a sigh of relief."Fortunately, there's still a breath." Putting down Zhang Heng, Zhang Zixun's eyes shot out a cold light."Monster, if you have the ability, then fight this princess alone! Bullying mortals is nothing!" Hearing this, Li Baoxian laughed out loud.”At the same time, he waved his hand, and countless small snakes flew out from his sleeve. They opened their mouths and flew towards Zhang Zixun. The latter shouted, and the ribbon in her hand danced with a brilliant purple light, blocking all the small snakes. But at the same time, she knew that this was not a place for fighting. "If you have the ability, come with me!"”With a flash, he jumped out of the Prime Minister's residence. Li Baoxian's anger was aroused when her attack failed. She shouted,""Am I afraid of you? Today, let's see if you, the princess of the Heavenly Court, are better or I am better!”His figure flashed as he followed closely behind. The Prime Minister fainted in his room, which was a mess. However, the servants were still sleeping soundly. They did not know that a great battle was about to begin.
