The Return of the Demon

After beating the man, Feng Gaojie knelt on the ground and shouted, "I have violated the rules in front of you, Your Majesty. Please punish me."

Emperor An had no intention of paying attention to such a small matter at this moment!

She ordered Pan Yucheng, "Open the coffin lid."

"I obey your order!"

Pan Yucheng took the order, stood up and walked over, exerted a little force, and pushed open the coffin lid.

An Di was trembling with nervousness. She mustered up the courage to look inside the coffin.

But when I saw it, I was stunned.

Ning Chen has been dead for a month and a half. Even though it is freezing cold now, it has been too long and the body should have rotted away.

But the strange thing is that Ning Chen looked as lifelike as if he was asleep.

This made her wonder if Ning Chen was lying to her?

Seeing Emperor An standing there frozen in place, the ministers became extremely nervous... They guessed that Ning Chen was severely rotten and looked so horrible that it frightened Emperor An.

They were worried that Emperor An would be too frightened and hurt his body.

Li Hanru hesitated for a few moments, exchanged glances with Ji Mingchen and others, then quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The dragon's health is the most important thing!"

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences and do not harm the dragon's body. I believe that the prince's spirit in heaven would not want to see your majesty sad."

"Your Majesty, the dead are gone, let the prince go in peace."

The three of them tried hard to persuade each other.

Emperor An leaned in to smell it and indeed there was a faint fragrance.

When the ministers heard this, they were greatly shocked.

Is this true or false?

They had never heard of anyone who had been dead for a month and a half and whose body not only did not decay, but was also still lifelike and exuded fragrance.

Civil and military officials all stretched their necks curiously to look inside the coffin, like turtles, but unfortunately they were too far away and could not see anything.

Li Hanru bravely asked, "Your Majesty, may I have a look?"

Andi nodded in agreement.

Li Hanru stood up, walked slowly to the coffin, looked inside, and his old eyes instantly widened.

After a long while, Nanyan said in shock: "He died in the light, without decay or stiffness. This is a miracle."

Since Li Hanru said so, the ministers had to believe it even if they didn’t want to.

He has been dead for a month and a half, but he is not decayed or stiff. If this is not a miracle, what is?

Feng Qizhen suddenly shouted: "I know what's going on."

Everyone's eyes were on him.

Pan Yucheng's scalp tingled, and the literary scholars present could not figure out the reason. This idiot should not talk nonsense and anger His Majesty.

Ning Chen died suddenly, and His Majesty was heartbroken. Anyone who offends you at this time would be seeking death.

Emperor An looked at Feng Qizheng and asked, "Do you know?"

Feng Qizheng nodded.

Emperor An said, "Tell me about it."

She still understood Feng Qizhen. He was a rough and uncouth man who could not read or write, but he was loyal and courageous.

Ning Chen usually expresses disdain for Feng Qizhen, but she really likes him in her heart. Because she loves Feng Qizhen, she also likes him very much.

So, what Pan Yucheng was worried about would never happen.

Emperor An's mood was indeed extremely bad at the moment, but he would never make things difficult for his brother who had been through thick and thin with Ning Chen.

Feng Qizheng said seriously: "The prince once told me that he came from the stars.

I guess he must be a deity who came down to earth to survive the calamity...Now he has returned after surviving the calamity, so his body is not decayed or stiff."

Everyone was speechless.

From the stars?

I'm afraid only this brainless man would believe such nonsense.

Emperor An thought this statement was interesting and asked, "So, is he irresponsible?

He survived the disaster and returned, leaving so many people sad and upset for him."

Feng Qizheng said very seriously: "Your Majesty, I think the prince is just going back to the stars to take a look, he will definitely come back.

If he's not coming back, why should we keep his body in tatters?"

Emperor An's eyes lit up, "As you said, Ning Chen will come back to life?"

Feng Qizheng nodded, "Yes, Xiliang has not yet surrendered, the blood debt of 60,000 soldiers has not yet been repaid with Gaoli Kingdom, Nanyue is still jumping around, Zhang Tianlun still left 40,000 troops stationed on the islands that have not been recovered... Most importantly, Showa Kingdom has not yet collapsed.

The prince hates the people of Showa the most, so he will definitely come back and destroy Showa."

Emperor An's gloomy eyes gradually regained their spirits.

She knew this was ridiculous. The dead cannot be resurrected. Even a three-year-old child knows this...but she was willing to believe what Feng Qizhen said.

Ning Chen died in the light without decaying or becoming rigid. This was not normal.

Maybe, he will really come back.

Emperor An looked at Feng Qizhen and said, "He Ye, draft an edict... Feng Qizhen followed the regent and fought in many battles. He made great achievements and was awarded the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."

He Ye leaned forward and said, "I obey your command!"

The ministers were in an uproar!

Feng Qi was the first marquis to be conferred since Emperor An ascended the throne.

Feng Qi had a dazed look on his face and was still confused about the situation.

Pan Yucheng quickly reminded, "Why don't you thank me now!"

Feng Qizheng hurriedly said: "I thank you for your grace!"

Emperor Andy nodded slightly.

Feng Qi was scratching his head, and turned to look at Pan Yucheng, "Am I a marquis?"

Pan Yucheng nodded with some envy, and was genuinely happy for Feng Qizheng, "You are the first marquis conferred by His Majesty."

"Then when we meet next time, boss, are you going to kneel down for me?"

Pan Yucheng: “…”

Xiao Yanxi stepped forward, leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Emperor And nodded and said, "You go ahead."

Xiao Yanxi said: "Your Majesty, the prince cannot be buried for the time being.

The prince's death was very unusual. I am ignorant and cannot give an explanation... Since it concerns the prince, I want to go to Shenyou Mountain in person and ask the old Taoist priest to solve my doubts.

Also, there is a pair of jade pendants in the prince's arms, don't touch them... I suspect that the prince's current situation is related to this pair of jade pendants."

Emperor An nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I know what to do!

I will send a message to the official post station to prepare a fast horse for you, so that we can go faster."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Xiao Yanxi thanked him, she looked at Ning Chen in the coffin with eyes full of expectation, and whispered: "I don't know if you can hear me? Ning Lang, come back, we are all waiting for you!"

......

Ning Chen heard it.

He heard someone calling him and slowly opened his eyes, but was stunned the next second.

Where is this?

There are lush trees and thorns all around, and different bird sounds can be heard!

This environment is both familiar and unfamiliar.

He looked around, and there was no one around.

But he clearly heard someone calling him just now, and it seemed to be Xiao Xixi's voice.

Wasn’t he on his way to dinner with Xiao Yanxi and Feng Qi?

He should be in the Bianzhou City Lord's Mansion, why is he here?

Where is this?

"Xiao Xixi, Lao Feng, where are you?"

Ning Chen shouted, but no one responded.

"Someone, someone, is there anyone here?"

Still no one responded.
