Chapter 377 Losing an Important Piece
In the secret room of the Beauty Hall, the flickering candlelight made Concubine Yin's figure appear longer and shorter.
She sat in front of a desk and whispered to the constantly twisting black air.
An old female face can be vaguely seen in the black air, sometimes condensed and sometimes dispersed.
The surging black gas was Yin Ling'er's mother Yin Yingzi.
At the same time, she is also the eldest princess of the founding emperor of the Wa Lie Kingdom and the wife of the former prime minister of the Xia Kingdom. But now she is a black void.
"Mother, Li'er..." Concubine Yin suddenly choked up, digging her nails, tanned, into her palms. "He really won't call me Mother anymore!"
"The last time we met in the Imperial Garden, he actually...actually called me 'Empress Yin' in public!" A tear slid down from the corner of her eye, leaving a sad mark on her face.
The black air surged violently, and Yin Yingzi greedily inhaled the purple smoke rising from the incense burner.
After all the incense smoke was absorbed, Yin Yingzi's hoarse voice of comfort could be heard from the black air.
"Ling'er, don't worry. Li'er is your biological son. He has your blood flowing in his veins. He's just angry now. As the saying goes, mother and son are connected by heart..."
Before Yin Yingzi could finish her words, Concubine Yin suddenly flicked her sleeves, and the teacup on the table hit the wall, scattering porcelain chips everywhere.
"It's all that damned bitch Gui Mei's fault! Not only does she have the exact same face as that old bitch Luo Lan, but now even Li'er has been instigated by her to become estranged from me. If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled her to death myself when she was born!"
"Alright!" Yin Yingzi said, "The most important thing now is to find Gou Chunmei."
Concubine Yin quickly replied: "My daughter has searched the entire capital, but it's as if that girl has disappeared into thin air..."
Then, she reported in detail the whole story of Gou Chunmei's disappearance.
"That's enough. No need to waste your energy." After hearing this, the black energy sneered sinisterly, "With Yin Zhizi protecting her, your people won't be able to find her at all."
"I know this imperial sister best. Ten secret guards cannot get close to her in terms of their abilities. What a pity..." The black gas slowly condensed into a blurry human face.
Her tone suddenly turned contemptuous: "It's a pity that her indecisive nature will never allow her to achieve anything great.
Back then, I had no choice but to marry her to Gou Hongying, who was only a county magistrate at the time, just so that I could use her bloodline today!
"Go and get Gou Chunmei's blood! Let me cast a spell and see how long she can hide!" Yin Yingzi ordered sternly.
"Yes, mother. I'll get it right away."
Concubine Yin hurried out of the secret room. After the clock struck three times in the corridor, she came back holding a green jade porcelain vase. The hem of her skirt was still covered with dust from climbing the ladder.
She carefully placed the porcelain bottle on the incense table.
A strange spell from the Ware Kingdom emerged from the black air, Yin Yingzi's virtual body twisted and deformed with the syllables, and the candlelight on the incense table suddenly turned dark green.
However, after only a moment, her ethereal form stopped swinging.
The celadon bottle on the table suddenly exploded, and the dark red liquid condensed into blood beads in the air.
Yin Yingzi pounced forward suddenly, but let out a shrill scream at the moment of contact.
"No, this is not her blood!" Her hoarse and gloomy voice sounded.
"Impossible!" Concubine Yin was shocked, her face pale, and she said in disbelief: "That day, my daughter saw her prick her finger with her own eyes."
Yin Yingzi's black energy surged violently, and her voice suddenly became gloomy: "If it is really as you said, then there are only two possibilities. Either there is a traitor among you, or someone has betrayed you."
Her black energy slowly wrapped around Concubine Yin's shoulders: "No matter what the situation is, Ling'er, you must be extremely careful."
"Damn it!" Concubine Yin clutched her sleeves tightly, her nails piercing the brocade, and said viciously: "If I can find this traitor, I will cut him into pieces and grind his bones into ashes!"
Yin Yingzi sighed deeply, "Ling'er, the war between Wolie and Li has already begun, and Gou Chunmei's essence and blood have been swapped. We must be more cautious now."
"You must find her as soon as possible! If the Wa Lie Kingdom is defeated, I will have no choice but to forcibly occupy her body and take the risk of sneaking into the Holy Mountain of Li Kingdom." Yin Yingzi's voice suddenly became urgent.
She condensed the black energy into a skinny hand and outlined the shape of a mountain in the air.
"There is a thousand-year-old holy fruit on the top of the holy mountain. It is my only hope to rebuild my original body and break the seal."
"Yes, mother!" Concubine Yin's armor made a harsh sound as it scraped against the table.
"It's just that the war between Walie Kingdom and Li Kingdom is ongoing, and the situation is unclear. It's not easy to find Gou Chunmei in this chaotic world."
Yin Yingzi pondered for a moment and said, "First, secretly check the people around you, and at the same time send reliable people to search near the battlefield. Gou Chunmei and Yin Zhizi will definitely be paying attention to the war, and they might be around the battlefield."
"Yes, mother!" Concubine Yin's eyes flashed with a venomous look: "When I find this bad girl Gou Chunmei, I will no longer care about my aunt's blood relationship. I will bring her to mother and control her body!"
Yin Yingzi nodded slightly and said in a cold voice: "The plan set up more than ten years ago was ruined by this girl's viciousness.
Now that the real Miao princess is dead, we have lost this important chess piece, and the Miao Kingdom can no longer be used by me.
I originally wanted to spare Gou Chunmei's life out of blood relationship, but now it seems that this girl really deserves to die!
She changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how's the investigation going on with Wang Xinyao in Nanhu County? Have you found anything strange?"
"Mother, I've heard that Wang Xinyao had a huge fight with the Crown Prince three months ago over Gou Chunmei's pregnancy, and in a rage, she ran back to Nanhu County. Since then, I haven't sent anyone to follow her!"
"Ling'er, I always feel that this little woman is not simple." Yin Yingzi narrowed her eyes and her voice gradually became deeper: "I even have a strong premonition that the colorful ring I'm looking for is on her!"
"Wait!" Yin Yingzi suddenly seemed to realize some important information and asked hurriedly, "You just said... Gou Chunmei is pregnant with Crown Prince Zhao Haoxuan's child?"
