Chapter 40 Obtaining the Demon Blood Jade

The queen took out a fist-sized black box from her wide sleeves.

     This box seemed to be able to block the leakage of breath. When she opened the box, a strong evil spirit suddenly emitted, making her head dizzy.

     Zhao Mu looked intently and saw an evil jade stone that was as red as blood placed in the box.

     "Is this the jade stone?"

     Zhao Mu asked.

     He felt amazing power from this piece of jade.

     "Yes, this is the Demon Blood Jade. I got it accidentally in my early years. No one knows its origin."

     The queen said, covering the box and handing it to Zhao Mu: "From today on, you will study the demon blood jade in the secret room. You are not allowed to leave the secret room until the results are obtained."

     "Yes, I understand."

     Zhao Mu took the box and nodded.

     The queen stood up and left the secret room with the prince.

     The two walked out of the rockery along the secret passage.

     The queen then said: "Prince, from today onwards, send people to guard the secret room closely and not let anyone get close. If the poison doctor can study it and come up with the best result, if he can't, then just kill him directly, Demon Blood Jade's Things cannot be leaked."

     "Yes, my child understands."

     The prince replied.

     …

     In the secret room.

     Zhao Mu reopened the box and took the demon blood jade in his hand to observe carefully.

     He found that this piece of jade seemed to be alive, with something vaguely moving inside, which was terrifying to see.

     He tried to mobilize his true energy and slowly injected it into the demon blood jade.

     Buzz!

     A terrible force suddenly surged out, actually forcibly breaking through the true energy and trying to get into his body.

     "not good!"

     Zhao Mu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately withdrew and threw the demon blood jade away.

     The next moment, a crimson demonic energy passed by him and hit the wall behind him.

     boom!

     The wall shook, and a half-foot-sized hole was blown open.

     "This evil spirit is so powerful."

     Zhao Mu was amazed, feeling that the purity of the demonic energy just now was far greater than what was inside the Queen and others.

     "The demonic energy in the queen's body should be considered diluted, but even so, it still gives the queen the ability to demonize, and her strength is even stronger than that of the grandmaster."

     "I don't know, if the most original demonic energy in the demon blood jade is released, what kind of terrible effect can it have?"

     Zhao Mu had a vague expectation in his heart.

     He walked over and picked up the demon blood jade, intending to study it after leaving to avoid any mishaps.

     "Now that the demon blood jade has been obtained, it is time to leave. However, the queen is very powerful and must move the tiger away from the mountain in order to leave the prince's residence safely."

     Zhao Mu's heart moved, and a large number of Sound Hearing Gu quickly flew out along the cracks in the secret room.

     …

     Banyue Street, Fulin Shoushi Store.

     Wei Hu was sitting at the counter, watching the people coming and going on the street.

     Suddenly, a voice as thin as a gossamer sounded in his ears: "According to the plan, let's start taking action and lead the Queen out of the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible."

     Wei Hu's eyes were stunned, and he nodded slightly calmly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

     He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately knocked on the table, and a young man came out from behind.

     "Shopkeeper, what are your orders?"

     "Go, according to the plan we arranged, secretly reveal the news about the Queen in the Prince's Mansion to Prince Su. Remember, you must not make him suspicious."

     "Yes, I understand."

     The waiter's face straightened up and he hurriedly left the shroud shop.

     "Prince Su has been restless these years. As long as he gets news from the queen, he will definitely spread the news. In this way, even if someone investigates, we will not be implicated."

     Wei Hu murmured to himself.

     King Su is the grandson of Emperor Xuanjing. He has a noble status but is in an embarrassing situation.

     The late emperor, the Immortal Emperor at that time, actually did not inherit the throne in line, but initiated a palace coup and forced his brother Emperor Xuanjing to abdicate the throne.

     In order to stabilize the court situation, the late emperor did not kill Emperor Xuanjing afterwards. Instead, he treated Emperor Xuanjing and his descendants nominally.

     Today, Emperor Xuanjing has passed away long ago, leaving only one grandson in the capital, who is today's King Su.

     Emperor Xuanjing's lineage had always been brooding over the incident of being forced to abdicate, but they just didn't dare to show it.

     King Su has actually been secretly planning over the years to try to regain the throne.

     It's a pity that the government has been stable in these years, and he has never found an opportunity to strengthen himself.

     Now the Queen went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pray publicly, but secretly came to the Prince's Mansion. Even fools knew that she must be doing something shameful.

     Once King Su gets this news, he will definitely take advantage of it to disrupt the situation of the court and give himself the opportunity to develop rapidly.

     Time passes day by day.

     Sure enough, five days later, rumors spread in the capital that the Queen was in the Prince's Mansion.

     At first, the rumors spread in a small area and did not cause much commotion.

     But as certain people continued to add fuel to the flames, the rumors spread to everyone in just three days.

     The ministers in the court!

     Common people!

     There are also the remnants of Beimang, spies from the Great Golden Wheel Kingdom and the Five Poison Sect, as well as many people with ulterior motives.

     Everyone's eyes were focused on the Prince's Mansion.

     Many people want to know whether this rumor is true or false?

     If the news is true, what is the purpose of the Queen secretly coming to the Prince's Mansion?

     Prince's Mansion.

     Snapped!

     A teacup was thrown to the ground by the Queen.

     Her eyebrows were raised: "What's going on? How could the news about me being here be leaked?"

     The prince was startled and quickly begged for mercy: "Mother, please forgive me, it may be the ghost in the house who has not been dealt with completely, so..."

     He almost cursed in his heart.

     First, the remnants of Beimang colluded with the inner ghost to poison him, and rushed into the prince's mansion to assassinate him.

     Now someone else has leaked the news that the Queen is in the palace.

     Isn't it possible to get rid of the evil spirits in your own house?

     Could it be that the Prince's Mansion is really riddled with holes?

     "Mother, now is not the time to be angry. You should think about what to do quickly, right?"

     "What else can I do? I must rush to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple as soon as possible. I must not let anyone know that I am not in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

     The queen had a gloomy face and hummed: "As soon as I leave, you will immediately investigate the prince's mansion. No one can be spared. Otherwise, if the inner ghost is not eliminated, you will sooner or later cause a fatal disaster."

     "Yes, the child knows."

     The prince quickly agreed.

     So soon, the Queen disguised herself and left the Prince's Mansion secretly.

     Half an hour later.

     Just when the prince ordered people to start investigating the ghost in the mansion.

     Suddenly He Minzhong ran over in panic: "Your Highness, has something serious happened?"

     "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

     The prince asked with a frown.

     "It's the Poison Doctor. The Poison Doctor Sun Yan broke the rockery door and escaped, and now he is missing!"

     "What?"

     The prince almost jumped up: "How is this possible? The rockery stone door is as hard as iron, and the Poison Doctor's cultivation is only top-notch. How can it be broken?"

     "No, that guy hid his cultivation, and his strength has definitely reached the innate level. When he rushed out, the guards in the mansion tried their best to stop him, but he escaped from the mansion without even taking two breaths."

     "It's over!"

     The prince sat down on the chair, his face full of panic.

     What to do now?

     The demon blood jade must have been taken away by the poison doctor.

     So, how can I explain to my mother?
