I didn't answer, just avoided his hand that was pointing at my chin... [What the heck! This emperor is really lecherous! He even has to wipe away the oil from a fox …] I'm the fox's real body!
The emperor looked me up and down, then smiled. "Last time you escaped, you really were a cunning little fellow. After being tied up by the Demon Binding Ropes, there should be no way for us to escape right? "
I jumped back a few steps and pressed my back against the wall, but the Emperor was closing in. He grabbed my ear, and as I struggled to open my mouth to bite, there was a clear shout from behind the door: "White boy!"
Green plume, green plume, green plume!
I was on the verge of tears. I used all of my strength and dived into his arms. "Martial Uncle, save me …"
Qing Ling caught me and the Emperor turned around, looking at Qing Ling with an unhappy attitude. "Crown Prince? "What's going on?"
Qing Ling quickly bowed and replied respectfully, "Imperial Father, she is my fellow disciple and my nephew."
The emperor was surprised. With a sinister look in his eyes, he replied, "Oh? She's actually your martial nephew? What is your Evergreen Sect planning? "
A few mages followed behind Qing Ling. They were probably from the Evergreen Sect. When they heard the Emperor's question, their faces immediately darkened.
Qing Ling's voice was calm as he replied, "Reporting to royal father, this fox demon is the direct disciple of my senior brother, Master Xuanyue. This time, her Heavenly Jewels were stolen, and she was implicated. There must have been some sort of misunderstanding … "
The emperor's expression changed slightly. "Oh? Master Xuan Yue's disciple? "
Qing Ling nodded. The Emperor's expression turned solemn as he looked at me with a more serious expression.
My heart secretly praises... "Master, you are so charming. Not only are you popular among our female compatriots, even the middle-aged freak uncle can eat you …"
The Emperor finally gave in to my master's' lust 'and looked at me with a different light in his eyes.
He maliciously asked me, "What is your relationship with the Sect Leader?"
I didn't know how to reply. Qing Ling's eyes were immediately filled with comfort. "Ai Hui, don't be afraid. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. The Emperor won't blame you."
He shot me a glance in the eye, and I quickly said that I was forced to do so. That Hierarch of the Thunder God Church is not a good person, and his entire family is not a good person.
The Emperor saw that he couldn't get an answer out of me, and since he didn't know what to do in front of Qing Ling, he ordered coldly, "Lock her in the dungeon for now, and don't release her! "Since the people from the Lightning God Cult brought her to the palace, I'm sure that she has some extraordinary uses …"
I was depressed... Could it be that he wants to use me as bait to lure everyone else into a trap?
Qing Ling quickly complied, and continued in a considerate tone, "Father has put in a lot of mental effort these past few days. Please return to the palace and rest early. "Why don't you just hand Bai Cai over to your son so that he can ask for it? He'll definitely be able to give Imperial Father an explanation."
The Emperor looked at me, then looked at Qing Ling, and reluctantly agreed.
As soon as the Emperor left, Qing Ling immediately removed all the guards and went forward to untie the Demon Binding Ropes on me. I threw myself into his embrace and wailed, "Qing Ling … "My master has become an immortal …"
For the past few days, the pain of losing my master as well as the grievances from running all the way, it seemed that only the embrace of Qing Ling could comfort me.
Qing Ling held me with one hand and gently patted my back with the other. "I know that Xiao Yu has already sent me a letter …" This is the tribulation of Xuan Yue's life. Moreover, he has already ascended to the Immortal Realm. Isn't this our ultimate goal as cultivators? "Alright, you don't need to worry. This is a good thing …"
When I heard this, I felt wronged in my heart, and I cried so hard that tears fell profusely, "But Master actually didn't come back to see me! After reaching Immortal Ascension, you can also descend to the mortal world, right? Why hasn't Master come back to see me for so long?! "
Qing Ling was slightly stunned, but then she comforted me, "Don't make wild guesses. Senior Brother has just reached the Immortal Realm and must have a lot of things to do in the Heaven Realm. Maybe he got stuck on something …"
And then he asked me, "But Xiao Yu sent me a letter later saying that you were taken away by a strange man. How is he? Did he make things difficult for you? "
I started, then shook my head. "No." How is Xiao Yu now? "
Qing Ling replied, "She has already returned to the Evergreen Sect and is cultivating with her fellow sect members. You don't have to worry."
"Then did the poison that she was poisoned take effect? Have you found the antidote? "
Qing Ling shook her head. "I've helped her check the poison, it's a secret medicine from the Thunder God School. We can't cure it, but with a few martial uncles taking care of her, the poison can be suppressed in a short period of time. Ah Wu, have you been staying with the Hierarch of the Thunder God Church these past few days? Why did he come to the Imperial Palace to steal the Heavenly Jewels? Can you ask him for Xiao Yu's antidote? "
I remembered Mi Yu's identity … He was a criminal wanted by the imperial government! Can I tell him his address?
After hesitating for a long time, I eventually shook my head and lied, "I don't know where they are. They threatened me."
Saying that, he lowered his head.
Fortunately, Qing Ling did not pursue the matter and instead sighed. "Imperial Father has hated the Lightning God Cult for a long time, so I will definitely think of a way to capture them this time. You can stay here for a few days, and when this matter is settled, I'll let you go. "
I panicked. "But it's so cold here."
"I'll get someone to bring you some blankets and thick clothes later," said Qing Ling.
"But I will be afraid!"
Qing Ling patted my hand. "Don't be afraid, I will come over to accompany you. Right now, royal father still has his doubts towards you, so I cannot immediately let you go … "I've just returned to the palace, and many people are staring at me. Ah Cai, please forgive me."
I muttered, "So Qing Ling is the crown prince. I never knew …"
Qing Ling smiled bitterly. "I am just a prince who has been raised in the Evergreen Sect. I grew up there …" In the past, he would only occasionally go back to the palace and recently, his royal father wanted to become the crown prince and I was his only son so he brought me back to the palace. "
I asked, "Does Qing Ling know about Guan Bei's drought?"
Qing Ling nodded. "Yes, I know about that. The imperial government has already allocated the funds and food for the disaster relief. The prime minister is doing this …"
"Did you just take over?"
Qing Ling nodded, "Yes."
I sighed. "So that's how it is."
So Qing Ling was not responsible for this. No wonder the victims of this disaster were in such a miserable state!
I'm kind of relieved... I knew Qing Ling wasn't the kind of person who wasn't responsible.
Qingling looked at me. "Did Wu go to Guanbei in the next few days?"
I nodded. "Those who pass by are miserable and have nothing to eat."
Qing Ling replied, "It can't be. A few days ago, the Green Miao City's City Lord even reported the memorial. He said that the victims over there have basically been pacified to the point …"
I'm stunned... Green Miao City's City Lord? Hadn't he already been captured by Mo Yu? Wait a minute, this is a bit of a mess.
I don't know if I should tell Qing Ling Green Seedling about this, but if I tell him, I think Mu Yu will be exposed, right? Oh, what should I do?
Qing Ling frowned at me. "Ah Wu, you seem to be hiding something from me?"
Startled, I quickly shook my head like a rattle. "No, no!"
Qing Ling was silent.
Qing Ling said that the matter of the imperial court was currently under the personal responsibility of the Emperor. He had just returned to the palace and did not live in the palace, so he was able to take care of very few matters. At this moment, the Lightning God Cult actually came to the palace to steal a treasure, and the treasure they stole was the Heavenly Jewel of the Heavenly Royal Family. As such, it was a matter of utmost importance to them, so he spent a lot of time with me.
Everyone seems to firmly believe that I am related to the Lightning God Cult, so they think that Mu Yu will come to rob the prison sooner or later. Everyone wanted to use me to capture the Demonic Sect's Leader. Only Qing Ling seemed to sincerely accompany me.
That day, he came to see me again in prison. Not only did he bring me roast chicken and wine, but he also played chess with me. The roasted chicken at the palace was certainly delicious, but I wasn't too interested in Go. However, being locked up here was boring anyway, so he had to pass the time.
