In the book, the villain male second was conquered by me and became a loyal dog

"Let's continue from the last chapter!" The female storyteller spread out her folding fan, "The whole country is clamoring to burn the Crown Princess and her son at the stake!"

"Although the prince is the crown prince, it is difficult for him to resist these heinous charges alone!

Look at the ministers in the court, all of them are speaking fiercely, puffing their beards and glaring, as if the Crown Princess is a witch who is bringing disaster to the country and the people, and must be eliminated as soon as possible! "

"In the court, all the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted at the top of their lungs: 'If the Crown Princess and her son are not punished, the country will no longer be a country, and the people will no longer be people!'"

"The prince's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, 'How could my beloved concubine have committed a crime?'"

"Then the Dragon Emperor was furious, pointing at the Crown Prince and scolding him: 'As the crown prince of a country, you should put the country first and don't let your love blind you!'"

"The prince was filled with grief and indignation. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying: 'My beloved concubine is virtuous and my young son is innocent. How can I tolerate such injustice?'"

"But the emperor had made up his mind and was not moved at all. He just said: 'If I don't punish the people, how can I keep my country stable?'"

"In this palace, there is a sense of panic and everyone is in danger. The Crown Princess and her son are trapped in the cold palace, how miserable they are. The sound of the young son crying is heartbreaking!"

When she said this, her voice became so mournful that the audience also felt distressed.

"On this day, the situation suddenly changed and trouble arose within the family. The Queen Mother found an expert in catching demons from somewhere." The female storyteller's tone suddenly changed, becoming mysterious.

"The expert came before the emperor and said with great confidence: 'Your Majesty, I have a method that will definitely make the monster reveal its true form and leave it nowhere to escape.'"

"The Emperor was delighted when he heard this and asked hurriedly, 'Is that true? If you can find that evildoer, I will reward you handsomely.'"

"The demon hunter nodded slightly and said, 'Your Majesty, rest assured, I will fulfill my mission.'"

People in the audience were talking a lot.

A woman exclaimed: "Even the prince of a country has a love as strong as gold, but some men are still cheating on her behind her back."

A wealthy man in fancy clothes retorted: "Look, we don't like what you say. The monster is at least extremely beautiful. The woman at home is old and ugly, how can she compare to him?"

"You are such a fool, are you worthy of a beautiful girl? You are also a piece of mud."

Another noble lady looked down on him: "The prince is a royal family, and you are just a creeper. You still expect Mei Niang to like you? You are just dreaming."

"Hahahahaha! What the lady said makes sense!"

"Bang," the wake-up stick was struck again.

"quiet."

The female storyteller took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then continued slowly:

"As soon as this expert arrived, the Crown Prince was put under house arrest by the Emperor because he was protecting the Crown Princess."

"Over here, the demon hunter led the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the others straight to the cold palace."

At this point, the female storyteller suddenly raised her voice and waved the folding fan in her hand forward fiercely, "When we get there, we will start the ritual without saying anything else!"

"That demon-catching expert, holding a magical instrument, chanting something, and walking with his feet, looks so majestic!"

"The incense and candles lit up, the yellow talismans fluttered, and the magic circle was set up to trap the Crown Princess and her son."

"Wait till the formation is activated, wow!" The storyteller slammed the wake-up stick again.

"The light is so bright that it makes people unable to open their eyes."

"When the light faded, everyone looked closely and saw that the Crown Princess had revealed her true form. She was indeed a seven-tailed white wolf!"

"Everyone was shocked when they saw this! The emperor's eyes widened in shock, almost popping out; the empress dowager was also pale and her lips were trembling."

"The entire palace was in chaos, and the palace maids and eunuchs were frightened and fled in all directions."

"The cries echoed throughout the palace. They were so miserable."

"I saw the seven-tailed white wolf struggling and roaring in the formation, with a look of helplessness and sorrow, tears in its eyes, as if it had thousands of words to say but couldn't say them."

“It’s really heartbreaking!”

There was another burst of hisses from below.

"Is it really a demon?"

"I thought this demon might be a fox or something, but it's actually a white wolf? Or a seven-tailed one?"

"I've never heard of a seven-tailed white wolf in this world!"

"That's true! I love to read some strange monster stories, but I have never seen a seven-tailed white wolf!"

However, Tong Huanyou, who was almost engrossed in listening on the second floor, suddenly noticed something was wrong.

His eyes stole a glance at Yu Qingci, who was half-supporting his forehead and looking down at the people below the stage.

Although his expression seemed calm, a closer look revealed that the veins on the back of his slender white hand resting on the corner of the table were bulging.

(Sure enough... I shouldn't have let him come.)

Tong Huanyou's eyes, which had always been bright, dimmed a lot. A trace of guilt welled up in his heart and his brows furrowed slightly.

"It's okay." A cold voice slowly fell into my ears.

"Huh?" Tong Huanyou was stunned.

"Miss Tong, don't you like listening to stories? Why are you looking at me?"

Yu Qing said goodbye and turned around, meeting those confused eyes, which were full of innocence.

"Ah... because you are very good-looking!" Tong Huanyou hurriedly made an excuse.

Yu Qingci's eyes almost turned red, but he seemed to have to suppress it, and said in a casual tone: "So we don't need to listen to the story?"

"Then I'd better listen." Tong Huanyou said, and then hurriedly looked towards the audience with a focused gaze.

Yu Qingci stared at her profile, in a trance for a moment, with complex emotions in his eyes, and murmured: "Youyou."

"Hmm?" Tong Huanyou turned around.

After a while, he asked, "That day with the snake demon Shuijing, was it you?"

Tong Huanyou remained silent, with his lips tightly pursed.

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. Logically speaking, how could an ordinary person like her enter someone else's water mirror...

Seeing that she didn't answer, Yu Qingci turned his eyes away, with a barely perceptible touch of emotion flashing across his face.

He casually said, "It seems that you are not very interested in this story. You can be distracted by a few random words."

"No way." Tong Huanyou curled her lips, supported her chin and looked at the audience again, without forgetting to put a chestnut in her mouth.

The female storyteller closed her folding fan and said in a loud voice, "Then the Emperor told the Crown Prince that the Crown Princess was a monster."

"When the prince heard the tragic news, it was as if he was struck by lightning. He couldn't believe it! He was completely stunned, like a wooden sculpture or a clay statue."

"This is not the most shocking thing. The emperor actually asked the prince to personally execute the mother and son by burning them to death. Just tell me, this is so heartbreaking!"

She shook her head repeatedly, her face full of pity.

"But! That very night, something strange happened!"

The female storyteller spoke in a drawn-out tone, with a horrified expression, "Overnight, several people in the palace died suddenly and mysteriously. The tragedy was simply unbearable to watch!"

"They were lying on the ground in all directions, their heads and bodies separated, their faces blue and purple. They looked so horrible, as if they were being taken away by evil spirits."

"Even the expert in catching monsters died mysteriously. It is said that his eyes were wide open when he died, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying."

"Everyone in the palace was in a panic, saying that this was the Crown Princess's doing and that she was seeking revenge. This is really a mess!"

The female storyteller sighed, "The Crown Princess was clearly in the formation and had not escaped at all. How could she have the ability to cause trouble?"

"But the Emperor and the Empress Dowager didn't care about that. They were blinded by fear and recruited demon hunters from all over the world to completely eliminate the Crown Princess and her son."
