Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Invite the Yue Kingdom envoy to Beijing and hold a banquet in the court hall.

Naturally, Prince Xiang and his wife were among them. After the incident in Tianlao, they were in poor health and should not leave the banquet early due to fatigue.

After the banquet, Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu walked together.

"The candlelight at the palace banquet is too bright and makes people feel uncomfortable. I want to take a walk."

Jiang Lianzhu drank some wine at the banquet and was a little tipsy. If the temperature was too high, she would feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll walk with you."

Liao Yunchuan didn't stop him. Now that everything had been resolved, he just wanted to live a peaceful life with Jiang Lianzhu.

Worried that Jiang Lianzhu would fall, Liao Yunchuan helped people along the way.

Although it was late at night, the streets of Kyoto were very lively with people coming and going because Yue Guo was invited to come for peace talks.

Liao Yunchuan accidentally bumped into a gray-haired old man.

"Hey! How are you walking? Didn't you see that I am so old?"

Jiang Lianzhu also woke up a lot because of this accident, and quickly pulled up the old man on the ground with Liao Yunchuan.

"Sorry, it was our fault. Old man, are you injured?"

Jiang Lianzhu said that she was about to check the other party's injuries. After taking a closer look, she noticed that the person she and Liao Yunchuan bumped into was actually an old Taoist priest.

"I am an immortal, I don't need money and worldly things like you. If I meet an old Taoist priest today, I am destined to you. Then I will give you a hexagram. You can take this hexagram and go to the Taoist temple outside the city to interpret the hexagram!"

The old Taoist priest was crazy and his words were very strange.

Liao Yunchuan had doubts in his heart.

Although he was not too distracted to notice the other people around him because he was taking care of the slightly drunk Jiang Lianzhu along the way, he was sure that he never bumped into the old man very hard.

Now that the old Taoist priest was pretending to be a ghost, he naturally wanted to stop him with words.

"These silver lunch boxes are our compensation, Lianzhu, let's go."

Liao Yunchuan was wary and didn't want Jiang Lianzhu to get involved in strange things. However, Jiang Lianzhu, who got the old Taoist priest's hexagram, could see some clues.

"Taoist Priest, the hexagram you gave me is a dragon, right?"

Serpent.

Folks also call this thing a little dragon. Since His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he is naturally a real dragon, and the prince who lives in the East Palace is called a dragon.

Because Jiang Lianzhu spoke like this, Liao Yunchuan also belatedly discovered the weirdness in it.

"The heavenly secret must not be leaked. If you two want to know what this hexagram means, you might as well follow the old Taoist instructions and go to the Taoist temple outside the city to interpret the fortune."

The old Taoist priest changed his rogue appearance and spoke mysteriously.

Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu looked at each other and were about to continue exploring the matter, but they found that the old man who was in front of them had already walked away.

"Let's go, follow us! That person just now was so suspicious! He seems to be waiting for us at the gate of the palace on purpose today!"

Jiang Lianzhu had a strong premonition and wanted to follow up to find out.

This was a keen feeling she had accumulated from working as an agent for so many years, and Liao Yunchuan naturally had the same wishes as her, so the two hit it off immediately.

After finding the old Taoist priest, I followed him all the way to the Taoist temple outside the city.

This Taoist temple was very dilapidated and no one came here on weekdays. Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan searched around and finally found the old Taoist priest who led them here.

"You deliberately tricked us into coming here. Why? Who are you and what are your intentions?"

Liao Yunchuan protected Jiang Lianzhu behind him and asked questions.

"The poor Taoist Sun Qi."

When the word Sun Qi was mentioned, Jiang Lianzhu suddenly pushed aside Liao Yunchuan, looked at the old Taoist Priest with stern eyes and high energy in front of him, and asked tentatively.

"Are you the master of Dr. Li in the palace, the medical sage Sun Qi?"

Jiang Lianzhu only heard about the name of medical sage from Dr. Li.

Dr. Li taught his medical skills to be very impressive. Jiang Lianzhu wanted to meet this person for a long time, but she never found Sun Qi's whereabouts.

"It's the old man."

Sun Qi opened his mouth to admit it.

After hearing that the other party was indeed a medical saint, regret flashed in Jiang Lianzhu's eyes.

"It's a pity that I have only met Dr. Sun now. If I could have found Dr. Sun earlier, I believe there is still room for recovery from His Highness the Crown Prince's illness..."

Jiang Lianzhu did not forget what Dr. Li said. He said that if anyone in the world could really cure His Royal Highness, it would be his master, the medical sage Sun Qi.

"Now that you meet an old man, it's not too late for His Royal Highness!"

When Jiang Lianzhu was feeling sad, she didn't expect that Medical Saint Sun Qi would smile brightly, and then, a young man would slowly walk up from behind him.

When everyone stood in front of Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu, they almost screamed in surprise.

"His Royal Highness?!"

It was clear that His Highness the Crown Prince had died with his own eyes not long ago, and now he was standing in front of him alive. No matter who saw such a thing, he would probably be shocked.

"Master Liao, don't be afraid, Mrs. Liao. I am not dead, nor am I a revenant. It was this old gentleman who saved me that day."

It's all too hard to believe, but the prince is indeed alive now.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Yunchuan could only ask what happened that day.

"That day, I was sent to the imperial mausoleum by General Cheng Xu and buried in the underground palace. I found myself waking up in the coffin. At that time, there was no one around, and no one answered my call for help. I thought I would be trapped alive. I died in the imperial mausoleum, but to my surprise, Senior Sun suddenly appeared and rescued me, and then the two of us escaped from the secret passage of the imperial mausoleum."

The prince still felt sad when he mentioned everything he had experienced these days.

"Old senior, why don't you send His Highness the Crown Prince to the palace? His Majesty would be doubly happy to know that His Highness the Crown Prince is still alive?"

Jiang Lianzhu asked, expressing her confusion.

"Mrs. Liao, the person who killed the prince is still in the palace. Before someone finds out, the news that the prince is still alive should not be leaked out!"

Sun Qi affirmed.

"What did you say?"

Liao Yunchuan originally thought that after Prime Minister Xiao and his group were cleared out of the court, everything would be stable, but he never expected to hear such words from Sun Qi's mouth.

"Is there any basis for what the old timer said?"

"Of course what my old man said is true! His Highness the Crown Prince is weak because someone planted a poisonous bug in his body when he was born. This is a kind of poisonous bug in southern Xinjiang. I have been working in the field for more than ten years. I learned the art of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang and trained a Gu King. On the day when the Prince was buried in the imperial mausoleum, I was able to appear in time only because the Gu King screamed and I discovered the trace of the Prince."

"Originally, the child voodoo in His Highness the Crown Prince's body will become increasingly toxic as he grows older. According to the plan of the person behind it, His Highness the Crown Prince will die naturally in two months, but for some reason, the mother voodoo suddenly controls the child voodoo. If he self-destructs, the prince will suddenly die violently and fake his own death."
