Chapter 47: Retrieving the Female Corpse Again

  The female corpse rushed up like a madman, with all her intestines flowing out of her belly. She opened her mouth wide, her teeth chattering loudly, and stretched out her fingers to grab me, looking as if she wanted to devour me whole.

  I turned the Bagua mirror in my hand over and pointed it directly at the 'female' corpse that was rushing towards me.

  "Ah!" The female corpse suddenly let out a terrified scream, Xue Qiufeng took the opportunity to swim over and sprinkle something on her body. In an instant, the female corpse turned into a pile of white bones.

  That thing is very strange and has a pungent smell. Fortunately, this place isn't stagnant water; otherwise, just this smell would be enough to make me flee in terror.

  Xue Qiufeng gave me a thumbs up and pointed to Xuan Yuanmu's room, I nodded and swam towards it.

  Is this still the same Princess Yulan from the Qi Wang Fu? Or is this the same Princess Yulan who underwent a transformation after death?

  Her head was covered with white hair, her skin was not intact anywhere on her body, her neck had been severed, and her bones were weightless. She floated in the water like a corpse that had been slashed by a knife, Xuan Yuan Mu had already gained the upper hand, but it was too difficult for him to successfully grab her.

  The female corpse's speed was too fast, even though her neck couldn't bear the weight, even though her entire body had been slashed until it was a bloody mess, she could still quickly dodge Xuan Yuan Mu's pursuit.

  I came to Xuan Yuan's side, he turned his head and looked at me, pointing upwards, meaning for me to leave quickly.

  I shook my head and pointed at the bloodied and mutilated female corpse, making it clear what I meant. I went to get her attention, telling him to hurry up and do something about it.

  Xuanyuan shook his head, not wanting an adventure, but I had already rushed past.

  The face of the female corpse could no longer be distinguished where her eyes were, those two black holes seemed to have seen me, and she quickly swam towards me.

  I saw things were going badly and turned around to swim towards the surface of the water, with Xuan Yuan closely following behind.

  Compared to the female corpse, I am after all human, and in terms of limb reaction speed, we are simply worlds apart. In the time it takes to turn around, I can already feel her icy breath right behind me. My Bagua mirror is in front of my chest, and if I want to protect myself, I must turn around, but behind the female corpse is Xuan Yuan Mu. If I do that, won't it have some effect on him? After all, he is also a corpse.

  While I was still hesitating, the female corpse caught up with me and grabbed my ankle, pulling me deeper into the water.

  At this critical moment, I suddenly felt my body relax, turned back to look, Xuan Yuan's eyes were yellow, and his long fingers had already cut off the "woman" corpse's arm, he tightly hugged her body and swam towards the water surface.

  After I got ashore, the hand still held my ankle tightly until it walked into the sunlight and then it lost its strength like a withered eggplant.

  Xuanyuan chose a different place to come ashore with me, he chose a place where the sun shines brightly, as soon as they emerged from the water, Princess Yulan's body lost its vitality and fell directly under the sunlight.

  Xuanyuan Qi and Xue Qiu Feng bound her body with a grass rope, laid grass paper under her, covered her head with a spirit symbol, and then covered the carriage with straw. We slowly drove out of the palace.

  Outside the city gate, on a mound of earth to the west, was where Xue Qiufeng had chosen a burial site for Princess Ruolan.

  "It's getting late now, let's put the body in the coffin first. Tomorrow when the sun comes out, we'll come back to deal with her. Once she leaves the water, she won't have any abilities left. Let's head back for now!" Xue Qiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Aren't you afraid that she'll rise from the dead in the middle of the night?" Xuan Yuan asked timidly, probably he also didn't expect that Yu Lan would end up like this.

  "Corpse surprise? I made such a big fuss, if she's still surprised, then I won't be called Xue Qiufeng. Besides, to get rid of her resentment, it can only be dried in the sun, and there is an inferior method, which is to burn her to death directly. In that case, her corpse would be gone, but the resentment would remain, and she would become a vengeful ghost." Xue Qiufeng replied nonchalantly.

  "Stay and watch her!" Xuan Yuan Mo ordered.

  "What? Prince, you wouldn't be so cruel, would you?" Xue Qiufeng cried out in sorrow.

  "Let's go! If you're afraid, I can call your master to accompany you!" Xuan Yuan Mu lifted me onto the horse and turned back to look at him.

  "Hey, Your Highness, don't be so heartless. My master won't even care about me, let alone approve of my hanging out with you guys... and now you want me to keep watch with you at night too..."

  Back in the East Palace, I took a hot bath and Xuan Yuan Mu also cleaned himself up. He held me and looked at the moonlight outside the window: "I always have this feeling that we're being used!"

  I turned back to him "Why did you say that?"

  "My father, the Emperor, is a deep and cunning strategist, and Guo Shi is also an expert in Taoist magic. With these two people together, how could they possibly give us such an opportunity? I think Guo Shi has probably realized that he can't keep Princess Ruolan's body here anymore, so he staged this play with my father, using our hands to get rid of Princess Ruolan."

  I nodded "So many people drowned in the palace, it's good to 'get rid of' them..."

  "Ah... no... don't... don't..."

  I hadn't finished speaking when outside there was the sound of Mei Linghua's frantic shouting, followed by the eunuchs' pursuit, and later her heart-wrenching cries slowly faded into the distance.

  "Xuanyuan dusk" I turned back to look at him, he gently poured a gentle pour on my mouth "Let her go, let her return to the Zuo Xiang Fu, although she didn't treat me as a relative, but I don't want her to go crazy in this deep palace either."

  "Even if I wanted to let her go, the Left Prime Minister's estate would no longer be able to take her in. This is a royal marriage decreed by the Emperor himself, and an imperial edict has been issued. I can reject him, but the Emperor cannot slap his own face, nor can the Left Prime Minister's estate allow her to slap the Emperor's face!"

  "What's to be done?"

  "It can be sent to the palace outside for recuperation, and this is also seen on her face with your same surname. If not, it must be sent to the cold palace!" Xuan Yuan furrowed his brow, stroking my hair: "If she doesn't move you, I can still tolerate her for a while, but it's all because she doesn't know what's good for her!"

  My heart is increasingly melancholy, this deep and secluded palace, is it really our final destination?

  "Let's get married, you can be my crown princess, and no one will dare to bully you again!" Xuan Yuan Mu looked at me with shining eyes.

  "The crown prince's consort can't be by your side every day!" I found a comfortable spot in his arms: "As your personal 'maid', wherever you go, I'll follow!"

  "How about we get married first?" Xuan Yuan whispered against my neck.

  "Why are you always hung up on this matter of being sworn brothers?"

  "Heaven and earth witness it, this is the marriage vow."

  "Wait!" I'm not unwilling, it's just that I always feel like now is not the right time.

  "You still don't want to? We can push it back a bit! After I have the real power, I'll give you a grand wedding, and then no one will dare to threaten you again! I want everyone to know that Mei Lingxue is my Xuan Yuan Mu's only wife!"
