Chapter 473 Curse
Without exception, all the men were masked, and their sharp eyes instantly locked onto Yi Qianhuan and Ji Chilian.
Yi Qianhuan puffed out his chest slightly: "This is the National God's Palace, and you Dragon Shadow Guards will not be allowed to act recklessly here. I give you ten breaths to leave, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
Bei Lianhe had been commanding the Dragon Shadow Guards before. Now that she is dead, it is normal for these Dragon Shadow Guards to appear here.
"The emperor has issued an order!" At this time, Long Yi, the young commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard, stepped forward and held high the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.
Yi Qianhuan frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
Before she could think of a way to respond, she saw Ji Chilian kneeling beside her to receive the order.
"Your Highness Ji Chilian obeys your orders."
"Princess Lianhe has passed away. I am deeply saddened. I have ordered the Northern Governor Ji Chilian to escort the princess's body into the palace. There must be no mistakes. I decree this!"
"I obey your order. Long live the emperor."
Seeing Ji Chilian's smooth movements, Yi Qianhuan hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes to the Dragon Shadow Guards: "The Governor has received the order, so it's time for you to stop."
"Please forgive me, the gods. We are following your orders and must cooperate with the governor to escort the princess into the palace. The princess's body is now here, and we dare not neglect our duties." Long Yi said in a businesslike tone.
Yi Qianhuan, however, vaguely sensed a hint of threat.
She originally wanted to check Bei Lianhe's body first.
But these Dragon Shadow Guards are here, and even if she is a national god, she cannot easily offend the body of a "princess".
Not expecting such a situation to occur, Yi Qianhuan looked at Ji Chilian.
At this glance, Yi Qianhuan’s pupils shrank.
She actually saw Ji Chilian smiling.
Faced with such a predicament, the man did not show any reluctance or unwillingness. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips from the bottom of his heart, smiling freely and ostentatiously.
Ji Chilian usually looks gentle and elegant, and his smile is handsome, but always superficial. She rarely sees this man so happy.
No, even the word "happy" could not describe Ji Chilian at this moment. She was closest to him, so she could clearly see the excitement hidden in his eyes.
Ji Chilian's eyes were like a wild beast that had been crawling in the dark for a long time and finally waited for its prey, and the wildness in its body was almost about to burst out.
"Your Majesty, the king's orders are hard to disobey, and you must not offend the emperor's majesty." Ji Chilian's voice was not loud, but it carried a bit of ethereal flavor and reached Yi Qianhuan's ears.
Yi Qianhuan's eyes moved as he carefully tasted Ji Chilian's reaction: "Since the Governor believes that the Emperor's orders are above heaven, then bring the princess's body into the palace."
"Thank you, God of the country, for your help." Ji Chilian took the opportunity and left with Bei Lianhe's body.
Long Yi left with many Dragon Shadow Guards.
Liuli, who was standing aside, watched for a long time, and then came forward: "Miss, is it not good to hand over the princess's body like this?"
"Of course not. We have no evidence to prove that Bei Lianhe is not the real Princess Lianhe. In the eyes of the world, it is the princess who died in our national palace. If the emperor investigates, we will be in some trouble. What's more, I was cursed by this woman, and I wanted to study her body to see if I could find a way to remove the curse. Now this plan has gone down the drain."
Liuli didn't expect to be so deeply involved, but she knew the young lady's strength. If the young lady had no clue, she would not be able to find a way to lift the curse on a corpse!
"Then we should leave the body here! Miss, the governor must be unaware of the involvement, so he agreed to send the princess' body away! I will go to the governor and explain it to him..."
"No need, this man knows it very well." Yi Qianhuan recalled Ji Chilian's impatient reaction just now, "If he had my safety in mind, he would not have responded to the imperial decree so quickly."
Liuli was anxious: "The governor doesn't care, but I do. I will go and get the princess' body back right away!"
"Silly girl, how can you be a match for Ji Chilian?" Yi Qianhuan poked Liuli's forehead.
"I have to fight even if I can't win. I can't just watch the young lady being cursed to death!" When Liuli said this, her eyes turned red.
"Don't worry, I won't die. Pass the order down, everyone stay put. Also, when Ji Chilian comes back, ask him to come see me immediately." Yi Qianhuan rubbed his brows tiredly and walked straight to the backyard.
Seeing Yi Qianhuan leave, Liuli was confused.
The Duke handed over the princess's body without regard for the young lady's safety. Given the young lady's vengeful nature, shouldn't she break off with the Duke and never have any contact with him again?
Why is the young lady still willing to see the governor?
Moreover, since Duke Du had sent the princess's body into the palace, a funeral would certainly be held next. Duke Du was devoted to being loyal to the emperor, so how could he have the time to come to their country's shrine?
Unless, the Governor came to the National God's Palace to call for punishment on behalf of the Emperor.
Liuli thought about it for a long time and could only come to this conclusion.
"Liuli, do you know where the Governor has gone? Just now, when I saw the Dragon Shadow Guards surrounded the National God's Palace, I hurried back to Beifusi and brought all the brothers of Jinyiwei here. Don't worry, with us here, we promise that nothing will happen... Strange, why are those Dragon Shadow Guards gone too?" After Lin Tong rushed over with his good brothers, he found the backyard empty.
Their governor is missing, and those annoying Dragon Shadow Guards are also missing!
"What else could it be? Of course your good governor took the Dragon Shadow Guard away!" Liuli looked at these Jinyi Guards and snorted, "You are finished, your governor doesn't want you anymore!"
"That's impossible!" Lin Tong retorted, but he didn't know what the situation was with the Dugong? Why did he travel with their mortal enemy Long Yingwei?
"Believe it or not!" Liuli was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lin Tong and the others. She pinched her waist with both hands, looking very fierce. "Anyway, this is not your Beifusi. All of you leave as soon as possible!"
Lin Tong looked at Liuli's anger, feeling confused and a little flustered: "Liuli, what do you mean? If you want me to die, you have to let me die knowingly!"
"Get out and stop bothering me!" Liuli simply stepped on Lin Tong's instep and ran away while he was in pain.
Ji Chilian stayed in the palace for three full hours.
It was not until the morning light that Ji Chilian walked out of the palace.
Under the pale sky, Ji Chilian's face was pale and bloodless.
The Jinyiwei waiting outside the palace gate noticed something was wrong at the first moment. They swarmed forward and found that there was a neat string of bloody footprints left behind Ji Chilian!
Ji Chilian's clothes on her entire back were torn to pieces, her flesh and blood were blurred, and her bones were vaguely visible!
Because no treatment was received after the injury, the blood had already spread along the body to the feet, leaving a bloody path on the ground along with Ji Chilian's footsteps!
“Lord Governor——!” Lin Tong’s face turned pale. He quickly stepped forward to support Ji Chilian, with hatred in his eyes, “Lord Governor, who on earth hurt you like this!”
