Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

Erkang and a team of guards hurried to the palace gate, only to see a group of people in strange costumes standing there menacingly. A big man in the lead shouted, "Hand over Xuanfeng quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Erkang stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously at the palace gate! This is a forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, not a place for you to run wild!"

The big man sneered and said, "We are fellow disciples of Xuanfeng. Xuanfeng was captured by you, so we naturally come to take him back! If you know what's good for you, hand him over quickly, otherwise we will destroy this palace today!"

Erkang said angrily: "Humph! What a big tone! Xuanfeng has been doing evil in the capital, trying to use the reborn to achieve his ulterior motives. How can we hand him over to you! If you leave now, you may be able to avoid punishment, otherwise you will be severely punished!"

The big man disagreed and said, "Stop talking nonsense! It's none of your business to interfere in our sect's affairs! Come on, brothers, let's go in first!"

As they said that, those people were about to rush into the palace. Erkang immediately ordered the guards to stop them. For a moment, the atmosphere at the palace gate was extremely tense.

In the emperor's bedroom, Yongqi frowned and said, "Father, these people are coming with such force that it seems they won't give up easily. We have to find a way to deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise if they really rush into the palace, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Little Swallow paced around the room anxiously, saying, "Oh, this is so frustrating! If only I were at the palace gate, I would beat them to a pulp! Humph!"

Ziwei comforted him, "Xiaoyanzi, don't worry. Erkang will stabilize the situation. We have to think about how to solve this problem fundamentally. Father Huang, how powerful do you think the Xuanfeng sect is? They come here so blatantly to ask for people, aren't they afraid of punishment from the court?"

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know the specific situation of their sect, but what I can be sure of is that since they dare to act like this, they must have something to rely on. Maybe they think that they can do whatever they want by mastering the secret of the reborn person. Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, do you think that what Xuanfeng said about the Lingxi grass is reliable?"

Yong Qi nodded and said, "Father Emperor, we can only trust him for now. After all, we don't have any other clues right now, and your illness is so strange, maybe it's really related to this Lingxi grass. Xiao Jian and I are ready to set off as soon as possible to find the mysterious valley, but now the situation at the palace gate must be resolved first."

Dong Er said, "Your Majesty, how about we send some more people to support Er Kang? There is strength in numbers. We can't let those guys rush into the palace!"

Nan'er also agreed: "Yes, and we have to quickly think of a way to let them know that we are not easy to mess with. We can't let them be so arrogant!"

Xiaoyanzi clapped her hands and said, "Yes! We can bring Xuanfeng over and let them see that Xuanfeng is in good hands. If they dare to act rashly, we will start with Xuanfeng! Humph!"

Ziwei said with some concern: "Xiaoyanzi, isn't this too risky? It would be terrible if they took the opportunity to snatch Xuanfeng away."

Yongqi thought for a moment and said, "What Ziwei said makes sense, but what Xiaoyanzi said also reminded me. We can take Xuanfeng to the top of the palace wall so that they can see Xuanfeng but it is not easy to snatch him away. Then we can negotiate with them and see if we can stabilize them first and buy time to wait for the court's reinforcements to arrive or until we come up with a better solution."

The emperor nodded and said, "Well, Yongqi's method is feasible. Go ahead and do it. You must be careful and cautious, and don't be careless."

Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi and others brought Xuanfeng to the top of the palace wall. When Xuanfeng's fellow disciples below saw him, they immediately started shouting.

The big man in the lead shouted, "Quickly release Xuanfeng! Otherwise, you will all have a hard time today!"

Yongqi responded loudly: "Listen carefully! Xuanfeng has committed many crimes in the capital, we will not let him go easily. But we don't want to make a big deal out of it. As long as you leave now and stop pursuing Xuanfeng's affairs, we can consider giving him a lighter sentence. Otherwise, if you continue to cause trouble, once the imperial army arrives, none of you will be able to escape!"

The big man said disdainfully: "Humph! Don't use the imperial court to scare us! We only want Xuanfeng. If anything happens to him, you will have to bear the wrath of our sect!"

Xiaoyanzi shouted angrily: "You bunch of bad guys! Xuanfeng has done so many bad things, and you are still protecting him! If you dare to make trouble again, I will be rude! I, Xiaoyanzi, am not afraid of you!"

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Xiao Jian hurried to the palace wall. He whispered to Yong Qi, "Yong Qi, I just got the news that the Xuan Feng sect seems to have colluded with some underworld forces, so they are so fearless. We have to be more careful."

Yongqi's face changed and he said, "This is troublesome. What should we do now?"

Xiao Jian thought for a moment and said, "I think we can pretend to agree to their request and release Xuan Feng, but in the process of releasing him, we can set up an ambush and wait for them to let down their guard after getting Xuan Feng, and then take them down in one fell swoop. However, this is also very risky, and we need to plan it carefully."

Yong Qi told Xiao Yanzi and the others about Xiao Jian's plan, and Xiao Yanzi immediately said, "Okay! Let's do it! I've been wanting to deal with these guys for a long time! Humph!"

Ziwei said worriedly, "Will this really work? It would be terrible if something went wrong."

Yong Qi comforted her, "Ziwei, there is no better way now. We will try to be careful, and we can't keep being in a stalemate with them like this."

So, everyone began to arrange things according to Xiao Jian's plan, waiting for the right time to take action. However, the tense situation at the palace gate continued, as if a storm was about to come.

On the other side, Yongqi and Xiao Jian's original plan to go out to find Lingxi grass was temporarily shelved. But they knew that the emperor's illness could not wait too long, so Xiao Jian quietly arranged a few reliable men to follow the route described by Xuanfeng before to explore the location of the mysterious valley.

One of the men asked, "Master Xiao, the location of this mysterious valley is so vague, can we really find it? And what if we encounter any danger?"

Xiao Jian said seriously: "You must be careful and cautious. If you encounter danger, hide if you can, and try not to confront the other party head-on. First find the approximate location of the valley and see if you can find any trace of Lingxi grass. If you really can't find it, come back and report it, and we will think of other ways. The emperor's illness depends on this Lingxi grass, so you have a heavy responsibility on this trip!"

The men said in unison: "Yes, Master Xiao! We will definitely do our best!"

They set out on a journey to explore the mysterious valley, climbing over mountains and crossing ridges, going through hardships, sometimes encountering steep mountain roads, sometimes encountering bad weather, but they never gave up, thinking about the emperor's condition.

In the emperor's bedroom, Ziwei, Dong'er and Nan'er were guarding the emperor's bedside. The emperor's condition did not seem to improve, and he still lay weakly in bed.

Ziwei said softly to the emperor, "Father, you must hold on. Yongqi and Xiaojian are trying their best to deal with those people at the palace gate, and they have also sent people to look for Lingxi grass. You will definitely get better."

The emperor opened his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Ziwei, I know you are all worried about me. It is a blessing for me, an old man, to have you children around. I just hope that all these disturbances can be settled as soon as possible, and don't let more people get hurt because of my affairs."

Dong Er said, "Grandpa Emperor, don't worry. We will definitely protect you, and those bad guys will not succeed."

Nan'er also nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa Huang. Ruixuan is still waiting for you to recover and visit him. You must get better soon."

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried into the palace and reported: "Princess, Master, it's bad! The situation at the palace gate seems to be getting worse. Those people have started to use some strange spells to attack the guards, and the guards can't resist them anymore!"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed again and they became even more worried. They wondered whether Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi and Xiao Jian could successfully deal with this increasingly serious situation.
