"Yes, Lord Protector, please rest assured that Ling'er will definitely handle this matter."
"Hahaha, okay! I'm waiting for your good news. When it happens, I will help you kill that Yun Jinyi." The arrogant laughter of the protector spread throughout the basement. .
"Then Ling'er takes leave first." Xuanyuan Ling'er heard the protector's laughter and left excitedly.
Yun Jinyi, you will soon find out what the consequences will be if you snatch my brother Fuchen!
…
Three days later, Xuanyuan Ling'er once again took the black iron token given to her by the emperor's grandfather and went to Sima's house.
Sima Yuanqi had already sent someone to wait at the door of Sima's house. Xuanyuan Ling'er jumped off the back of the flying spirit beast and said politely to Sima Yuanqi, "Master Sima."
"Well, Princess Ling'er invites you." Sima Yuanqi nodded and then made an inviting gesture, gesturing for Xuanyuan Ling'er to come in before talking.
Xuanyuan Ling'er walked in without refusing, and Sima Yuanqi followed her in.
"Princess Ling'er is drinking tea. I have placed the child's blood in the forbidden area of the Sima family. I have to go and get it from the forbidden area." Sima Yuanqi picked up the teacup on the table and handed it to Xuanyuan Ling'er.
"Okay." Xuanyuan Ling'er took a few sips of the tea and waited quietly.
"Princess Ling'er, please wait a moment. I will take you to the Sima family's forbidden area later. I'll go get ready first." Sima Yuanqi said with a faint smile.
Xuanyuan Ling'er frowned when he heard this and chuckled twice, "Then there is Patriarch Lao Sima."
After two sticks of incense, Sima Yuanqi came late and didn't know what he was doing. "Princess Ling'er, you can go to the forbidden area."
"Let's go." Xuanyuan Linger motioned to Sima Yuanqi to lead the way, then turned around and followed Sima Yuanqi towards the forbidden area.
Sima Yuanqi led the way, and soon they arrived at the forbidden area of the Sima family. Xuanyuan Ling'er only saw a cemetery, with a faint cold breath coming out. It turned out that the forbidden area of the Sima family was actually in the tomb. Who would have thought that? .
Xuanyuan Ling'er felt wary in her heart, but her face remained calm.
"Princess Ling'er, please." Sima Yuanqi stood there without moving and said with a faint smile.
Xuanyuan Ling'er nodded, and then took steps forward. The colder atmosphere became heavier the deeper she went, making her feel a sense of fear in her heart.
She walked closer to the forbidden area step by step. When she reached the last step, Xuanyuan Ling'er suddenly felt like she was in an ice cave, and a biting chill spread throughout her body.
Xuanyuan Ling'er gritted her teeth and insisted that she must continue walking towards the depths of the forbidden land because she had to bring the child's blood back today!
Xuanyuan Ling'er walked to a stone door. She couldn't see any way ahead. Sima Yuanqi stretched out his finger and pressed lightly on a corner of the stone door. With a soft sound, the stone door slowly opened. It used to be a cave.
Xuanyuan Ling'er was surprised when she saw this situation, but she quickly realized that it was a forbidden area after all, and it was normal in such a secret place.
She walked in, and the stone door quickly closed, leaving no flaws visible to the outside world.
Xuanyuan Ling'er slowly walked deeper. The cold atmosphere here was much stronger than outside. After a while, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of him, and Xuanyuan Ling'er sped up and walked over.
What came into view was a pile of corpses of children under five years old, piled together, which looked shocking. The dried blood had solidified on the children's bodies, and the fine sand on the ground had been dyed wine red.
Xuanyuan Ling'er was so frightened that she stepped aside, her face turned pale, and her body couldn't stop trembling.
She tried hard to control the fear in her heart, took a few deep breaths, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with determination.
"Where is the child's blood that has been taken?" Xuanyuan Ling'er calmed down and asked slowly.
"Your Highness, please come with me." Sima Yuanqi smiled faintly, and then brought Xuanyuan Ling'er to a stone gate.
Sima Yuanqi injected spiritual energy and opened the stone door, and then Xuanyuan Ling'er saw a step leading down.
Xuanyuan Ling'er clenched her fists, bit her lip, and walked on bravely.
A huge basement appeared in front of her at the bottom of the steps. The surrounding walls were inlaid with various gems, and luminous pearls emitted a warm and soft light that illuminated the entire basement.
Xuanyuan Ling'er looked around carefully. There were many wooden shelves here, and many exquisite boxes were placed on each wooden shelf.
Sima Yuanqi walked to one of the wooden shelves and opened a box. Inside was a jade bottle with a lot of bright red liquid. When he opened the bottle cap, the smell of blood came out.
Xuanyuan Ling'er's pupils shrank violently and her heart was pounding. That was the child's blood she needed to find.
Xuanyuan Ling'er walked up to Sima Yuanqi and said, "Is this child's blood?"
"Yes." Sima Yuanqi nodded.
Xuanyuan Ling'er took a deep breath, forced herself to stabilize her mind and said, "In that case, I'll trouble the Sima family leader."
"Haha, it is my honor to serve the Supreme Emperor." Sima Yuanqi said with a smile.
Sima Yuanqi handed Tongxue into Xuanyuan Ling'er's hands, then turned and left.
Xuanyuan Ling'er collected the child's blood and hurriedly left the forbidden area. She must not let others know that she had taken the child's blood.
After she came out of the Sima family's forbidden area, she went straight to her bedroom in the Weiyang Palace.
"Princess, you are back! My slave has prepared hot water. Princess, please freshen up quickly and change clothes."
"Yes." Xuanyuan Ling'er nodded.
The maid waited on Xuanyuan Ling'er to wash up and change into new clothes before leaving.
Xuanyuan Linger lay on the bed to rest after eating. Thinking of the shocking incident last night, she could finally have a good rest now.
When I woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
"Knock knock knock." The guard's voice sounded at the door.
After Xuanyuan Ling'er got dressed, she walked to the door and opened it. There were several maids at the door, and guards were waiting outside.
"Princess, it's time for lunch." The maid said respectfully.
"Well, I will be leaving the mansion soon, you don't need to follow me." Xuanyuan Ling'er ordered.
"As ordered." The maids bowed respectfully.
Xuanyuan Ling'er quickly ate some pastries and then left the Weiyang Kingdom Palace on the flying spirit beast and headed straight to the west of Weiyang Kingdom. Now she had to get the body that the Lord Protector wanted.
The secret guard who had been following Xuanyuan Ling'er hurried back to report to Shangguan Fuchen.
Inn.
"I've met the prince." Looking at the sweaty secret guard, Shangguan Fuchen knew that something must have happened.
"Get up, what happened?" Shangguan Fuchen asked softly.
"In the past few days, I followed Princess Xuanyuan to the Taiji Palace of the Supreme Emperor. The guards in the Taiji Palace were too tight and our people couldn't enter at all. Later, Princess Xuanyuan went to Sima's house without stopping..." The secret guards came one after another. The past two days.
