Chapter 1342: Take a Good Look—Who Am I?
Qingmei nodded, just about to speak, when Bai Xilie had already opened the window, standing inside the hall, his expression appearing strong and serious.
"Why are you here? I am very busy today and have no time to listen to your nonsense."
"No matter what trouble you’ve caused, don’t tell me today! Come back in a few days."
After he finished speaking, he closed the window.
Prince Kang hastily lifted his robe and entered: "No, Imperial Brother, this time it’s not me who caused trouble, it’s Fourth Brother!"
Bai Zhi’er, upon hearing this, immediately sat up and looked toward the direction from which Prince Kang entered: "What’s wrong with Little Uncle?"
As Prince Kang came in, just about to speak, he noticed a woman sitting beside Bai Zhi’er, wearing a veil hat.
The figure of this woman seemed somewhat familiar to him.
Prince Kang furrowed his brow and looked several times, puzzled.
Until Bai Xilie’s tall figure directly blocked Jing Jia’s front.
He fiercely questioned: "What are you looking at? What is it, quickly speak."
Only then did Prince Kang remember his main purpose for coming.
He anxiously said: "Fourth Brother has gone mad or something, in the Capital city, he’s brought many witches, shamans, and fangshi to his mansion."
"Elder Brother just went to stop him, and heard he wants to summon souls! It’s like he’s possessed by a demon, no matter how advised, he won’t listen, Imperial Brother, you must take control of him!"
"He’s muttering that Jiang Ying is gone, like he’s gone insane."
"How can he be so reckless? Jiang Ying isn’t dead, if he likes her, let them get married quickly!"
Bai Xilie furrowed his brow: "What is he messing about now, I haven’t gone back on the marriage edict, and I promised not to interfere in his and Jiang Ying’s matters."
"Jiang Ying is perfectly fine, you go pass the word immediately, tell him to stop, I’ll dispatch two teams of Imperial Guard to go over, if he continues to act foolishly, have them hold him down and bind him into the palace, I’ll personally watch over him!"
Bai Zhi’er, however, hurriedly stood up: "Father, wait a moment!"
"Little Uncle may not be speaking nonsense, Father and Third Uncle might not know, but there was indeed a murder case at the Jiang Family two days ago."
"This matter is quite strange..." Bai Zhi’er briefly described a few sentences.
Listening to this, Bai Xilie and Prince Kang’s brows furrowed tightly.
In the end, Prince Kang expressed understanding: "The world is vast and full of wonders."
"Even I have dreamt of an Evil God enticing me to go to some Demon City to exchange a price to save the Princess Consort’s life."
"What Zhi’er said might be true. What if our Fourth Brother has also been entangled by some Evil God?"
At this moment, Jing Jia, wearing a veil hat, spoke with a clear, cold voice: "No, it is not an Evil God."
"Prince Qing likely indeed wants to summon a soul, but the person he seeks is very likely already gone."
Prince Kang looked at Jing Jia again.
He furrowed his brow and said in a hoarse voice: "Miss, why do I seem to have seen you somewhere before?"
Bai Xilie sternly said: "Get lost! What do you mean calling her Miss, in the future call her Imperial Sister-in-Law."
Prince Kang was taken aback: "Imperial Sister-in-Law?! Imperial Brother, are you confused? I only have one Second Sister-in-Law!"
Bai Zhi’er and Jing Jia both chuckled lightly.
Bai Xilie gave Prince Kang a sideways glance: "You fool, not a bit of our parents’ wisdom inherited in you."
Prince Kang grew more suspicious: "What do you mean?"
Jing Jia lifted the veil in front of her: "Third Brother, take a good look, who am I?"
Prince Kang looked closely and was suddenly stunned, his expression instantly turning to joyful ecstasy: "Second Sister-in-Law! Second Sister-in-Law, it’s really you who’s come back!"
"I knew it, where would my Imperial Brother get the nerve to keep another woman in the palace! All these years, he’s remained pure, and the outside has gossiped that he is an Emperor destined to be a monk!"
