Taking advantage of the break in the palace banquet and the opportunity to change clothes, Emperor Ming personally followed Xuan Yue, who was admiring the flowers alone.

Then he saw a beautiful scenery that he had never seen in his life.

In order to practice swimming, Xuan Yue soaked in water all year round, and the capital city was much drier than the East Wu Kingdom. At this moment, her skin was tight, dry, itchy and uncomfortable.

There was a pool of clear green water in the imperial garden, which made Xuan Yue feel itchy. While there was no one around, she took off her shoes and socks despite the maid's persuasion.

Xuan Yue soaked her feet in the slightly cool water of the pool, feeling indescribably comfortable and relaxed all over.

Emperor Ming hid behind a tree and saw the pair of slender jade feet, skin whiter than snow, so beautiful that it did not seem like anything human could have.

At that moment, Emperor Ming had thoughts about Xuan Yuecheng that he shouldn't have.

Relying on his intuition, he sent people to dig deep into Xuan Yue's origins and finally discovered her true identity.

The fugitive saint of the East Witch Kingdom also stole the East Witch Kingdom’s sacred object, the Gold-Eating Gu. This was truly an unexpected surprise.

For Emperor Ming, compared with the gold-eating Gu, no matter how beautiful the jade feet are, they seem less attractive.

Therefore, Emperor Ming sent inner guards to follow Xuan Yue, trying to find an opportunity to take away the gold-eating Gu.

They found two opportunities in total.

The first opportunity was when King Jin found the secret guards of Dongwu Kingdom who said that people from Dongwu Kingdom disguised themselves as horse bandits and robbed Xuan Yue's carriage.

The order issued by Emperor Ming was to find an opportunity to snatch the gold-eating Gu in secret and capture Xuan Yue alive. Therefore, when the inner guards saw that the horse bandits were about to kill Xuan Yue, they immediately took action and killed all the horse bandits.

The internal guards saw this as a golden opportunity, and taking advantage of the bandits' robbery, they could kidnap Xuan Yue.

However, the appearance of a Taoist priest shattered their plans.

Xuan Yue realized that the men in black who saved me actually wanted to kidnap her. She felt extremely desperate, and just when she was about to accept her fate.

A whisk flew over and collided with the sharp sword that was stabbing at her. The sword deflected and pierced a jade pendant on the ground.

That was the Holy Spirit Talisman that Xuan Yue dropped during the fight!

With a clang, the Holy Spirit Talisman broke into three pieces.

"No!" Xuan Yue shouted in despair.

The attack was blocked, and the inner guards turned around to attack the Taoist priest who suddenly appeared. He was wearing a black and white Taoist robe with gray hair on his temples, and looked quite like an immortal.

But the inner guards did not expect that this seemingly frail old Taoist priest had such high martial arts skills!

In just a few moments, more than a dozen guards were seriously injured.

"withdraw!"

The inner guards knew they could not defeat the Taoist priests, so they had to retreat.

At that time, Xuan Yue had no time to thank the Taoist priest. She burst into tears while holding the Holy Spirit Talisman.

After all, this was the holy object that she had guarded for many years. She was very sad to see it broken like this.

"This thing was broken because of me, so why not let me seal them up and prevent this talisman from losing its spiritual power."

Xuan Yue nodded and carefully handed the three Holy Spirit Talismans to Taoist Wuwei.

The broken Holy Spirit Talisman seemed to come to life in the hands of Taoist Wuwei. After Taoist Wuwei recited some incantations, the three Holy Spirit Talismans began to glow.

Before Xuan Yue could see clearly, the three Holy Spirit Talismans were all wrapped in the jade taken out by Taoist Wuwei. One was in the shape of a crescent, one was in the shape of a star, and one was in the shape of a circle.

Xuan Yue was about to take the three talismans, but the crescent-shaped jade was stuck firmly to Taoist Wuwei's palm and could not be removed. Xuan Yue was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"It seems that our fate has not yet ended. I will keep this talisman and my disciple will return it to you later."

……

"I am very grateful to Taoist Wuwei. If it weren't for him, I would have been arrested and taken to the palace long ago."

Prince Jin's eyes were blazing with anger, he had not expected that the seemingly righteous Emperor Ming had actually coveted Xuan Yue and her gold-loving Gu long before they got married!

Taoist of inaction!

Lin Yushu's heart moved, and she looked at Nan Rongjing. This was her master!

It seems that she and Nan Rongjing had guessed wrong. They thought that Xuan Yue had an accident on the way from Youzhou to Shen Mansion, or from Shen Mansion to the capital, causing the Holy Spirit Talisman to be broken.

Unexpectedly, it was broken after entering the capital, and it was because of Emperor Ming and her master.

"What happened that day was too mysterious. Even though I didn't want to, I still agreed to Taoist Wuwei's request and gave him the crescent-shaped Holy Spirit Talisman."

Lin Yushu was extremely shocked when she heard this, and she secretly touched the Bi Yue Jue hidden in her sleeve.

The words "My disciple will return it to you in the future" actually came true today. Her master actually has such magical powers!

After Lin Yushu used the Bi Yue Jue to make detoxification pills, Nan Huaishuo can now get close to the Bi Yue Jue without triggering the abnormal movement of the poisonous insect, so Lin Yushu carried the Bi Yue Jue with her again.

Everyone was immersed in Xuan Yue's memories, even Emperor Ming was not clear about the details and was listening intently.

Since that incident, Xuan Yue has rarely gone out. She didn't know the origins of those men in black at the time, so she became very cautious.

However, as if seeing through Xuan Yue's thoughts, on the day when Nan Rongjing turned six months old, the assassin from the East Witch Kingdom took advantage of the absence of King Jin and broke into the mansion. This was the second chance the inner guards found, and also the last one.

He secretly stared at Xuan Yue, trying to find out the gold-eating guard who had been lurking not far from Prince Jin's Mansion, so he took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the mansion at the first opportunity.

"There were more than 30 assassins with outstanding skills. Most of the people in the mansion were temporarily transferred away by Qingyang that day for some reason. It was the most vulnerable time. I had no choice but to bring Jing'er to the secret room in my yard."

"They couldn't find anyone, so they set a huge fire in an attempt to force me out and the gold-eating Gu out as well."

When Xuan Yue recalled this, her heart ached so much that her voice trembled.

"Those beasts added poison to the fire, and the smoke from the burning was highly toxic. Because I am with the gold-loving Gu every day, ordinary poisonous Gu dare not get close to me, but Jing'er..."

As she spoke, Xuan Yue looked at Nan Rongjing beside her with tears in her eyes.

"I couldn't stop the poison from invading his body. He was only six months old at the time. I watched helplessly as his entire body quickly turned purple and he was about to die..."

By then, the assassin had already searched not far from the secret room and might be able to break in at the next moment.

Xuan Yue looked at Nan Rongjing who was dying in her arms, and then glanced at the gold-eating Gu placed beside her.

Xuan Yue knew she had no other choice, so she picked up the gold-eating Gu and fed it into Nan Rongjing's mouth...

As soon as the gold-eating Gu entered Nan Rongjing's body, the purple-blue poison quickly disappeared, and Xuan Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Rongjing is her bloodline, so he also has a huge attraction to the gold-eating Gu.

In order to allow Nan Rongjing to live a few more years, Xuan Yue took out her only two remaining holy spirit talismans and used the traditional secret techniques of the Eastern Witch Kingdom to control the gold-eating insect to come to Nan Rongjing's lower abdomen, trying her best to suppress its vitality.

After doing everything, she carefully hid the unconscious Nan Rongjing in a corner.

The next moment, the assassin broke in...
