Chapter 362: Disarmament

Last time, we talked about Li Yi getting Su Bu's tacit approval, not only for the Wu Gu Cult, but also for Yue Hua. This gave Li Yi the confidence to do it boldly. So how will he enter the Prince's Mansion next? Let's read on.

In the next few days, Jing Xin and Xiang Ying were the busiest. The former kept running to the Prince's Mansion, while the latter took Mo Bai to the streets every day. Meanwhile, wood was brought into the city, and workers began to build the altar.

Jing Xin's mission was to get close to the Crown Princess, which was not an easy task. Fortunately, she knew how to come up with clever excuses and please the Crown Princess. She soon became good sisters with the Crown Princess and brought Xiang Ying with her to the mansion to pay a visit.

It is said that the princess consort of Western Chu was named Yunrou, and was a descendant of a prominent family in the past, but her family had declined and no longer had its former glory. The royal family of Chu did not intermarry with the three clans, and preferred these small clans. Perhaps the king of Chu was wary of the three clans and wanted to support other clans, so he chose such a wife for the prince.

While chatting in the Prince's Mansion, the three of them talked about the issue of fighting over men. Jing Xin pointed out that Xiang Ying did not understand etiquette and she could not teach her, so she wanted to ask the Crown Princess to help find a nanny to teach Xiang Ying.

Zhao Yunrou originally disagreed, but Jing Xin explained the difficulties. With Xiang Ying's temper and personality, ordinary people could not control her. She did not dare to act presumptuously only in the Prince's Mansion. It happened that she heard that the Prince had a new concubine who was learning etiquette, so she came up with this idea that the two of them could learn together.

The Crown Princess took one look at the heartless Xiang Ying and thought that this silly girl had no bad intentions, so she agreed. So Xiang Ying and Yuehua became classmates, and together they learned etiquette and needlework from the maid of the Washing Women's Department.

Xiang Ying was also very moved after meeting Yuehua. She thought there was actually a woman who was even dumber than herself. Yuehua felt the same way. She thought that the Chu people didn't understand etiquette and embroidery. She thought that their brains might not be very good. So the two simple fools became friends.

Afterwards, Xiang Ying told Li Yi about Yuehua's situation. The latter wanted to sneak into the Prince's Mansion that night to rescue her, but was persuaded by Xiang Jingqu and the other two. Although the three had selfish motives, what they said made sense.

Qu Xia said that rescuing Yuehua would affect the future handling of the Witchcraft Cult, so they had to make long-term plans.

Jing Xin said that since Gu Zhou was stabbed, the Prince's Mansion has strengthened its defenses, and even the people from the Witchcraft Cult have participated in it. Who knows what tricks they will use.

In fact, Xiang Ying did not persuade Li Yi, but supported him to save Yuehua. As a result, Li Yi listened to her and made up his mind to let Yuehua continue to study in the Prince's Mansion. She said:

"I support you. If you really can't do it, I'll go with you! Learning etiquette and needlework from those little girls is really painful! It's harder than practicing martial arts! Especially the embroidery. Don't look at the needle, it's just that small. In my opinion, it's heavier than a sword!

I just learned flat stitch embroidery, so let me learn needlepoint and fixed stitch embroidery. I have to ask my mother to teach me again when I get home. It’s really painful! So I support you, let’s rescue Yuehua tonight!"

After listening to this, Li Yi touched his chin and asked, "Yuehua should really like learning needlework, right?"

Xiang Ying replied: "Yes, she studied very hard! But I feel that she is quite stupid, and she doesn't learn as fast as me. She learned much earlier than me and only learned five needle techniques. But even if she knows five needle techniques, she can't embroider anything decent.

Let me put it this way, she showed me her masterpiece, and I knew it was a leaf! But she insisted that Mommy teach her how to make clothes, but Mommy scolded her, saying that she couldn't even embroider a bird, and it was too presumptuous for her to want to make clothes.

"So what do you think of Yuehua's mental state?"

"I think she's going crazy!"

"How to say?"

"She told me that she is very happy every day now! She is still happy even though she is forced to learn these useless things every day. If she is not crazy, what is she?"

Qu Xia and Jing Xin shook their heads and sighed at the same time, expressing their contempt and sympathy for Xiang Ying.

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said, "So the Gu in Yuehua's body doesn't restrict her in any way. Is she still carefree?"

"How can she be carefree! She spends all day thinking about going out to buy cloth for her brother to make clothes. She says that she didn't have the chance before, but now she has the chance but can't go to the cloth shop. She even asks me to help her buy cloth."

Li Yi said sternly: "Don't buy it for her! It's a waste of money! Let her learn slowly. I guess she may not be able to learn it even if I teach her after I eradicate the witchcraft!

Since she has Momo to teach her etiquette and needlework, it's good, but she is not free. Well, then I will fight for Yuehua's freedom and remove the Gu from her body."

"Brother, please don't act impulsively!"

"Don't worry, I still have some sense of propriety. The Lower Yuan Festival will be in three days. This time, I will do it in one go and leave Mo Bai in the Prince's Mansion, so that I can free my hands and feet to deal with the Witchcraft Cult. In order to minimize the impact, the three of you have to cooperate with me in acting out a play. Come and listen to me..."

The next day, Jing Xin and Xiang Ying brought Mo Baigang to the Prince's Mansion to chat with Zhao Yunrou. Suddenly, the ground shook, and everyone ran outside nervously, thinking that an earthquake was coming. As a result, they saw a figure hovering over Baidi City, emitting a blood-red aura.

Xiang Ying was surprised and asked: "Wei Le, has he made a breakthrough and entered the extraordinary realm?"

"He is Wei Le?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw black clouds pile up, lightning flashed in the shadows, and a bolt of lightning struck Li Yi. He did not use the divine thunder seal on his right hand to block it, nor did he use the purple thunder bone-hardening technique to resist it. He completely used his physical body to overcome the tribulation, because this time he wanted to break through to the immortal body of the martial arts transcendent realm.

When the dark clouds dispersed, Li Yi's figure disappeared from the sky. Jing Xin asked nervously: "Where is Brother Wei? I hope he is okay!"

"Who?" Xiang Ying turned around suddenly and found Wei Le in the yard. Everyone came to their senses and looked at him in surprise.

Li Yi bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess. May I ask why there is a Gu in the Prince's mansion?"

"Gu? What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be a Gu in the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

At this time, the guard leader rushed in. It was the commander Sun who had been seen in Zhuqing Pavilion before. He shouted, "Wei Le? How dare you trespass into the prince's mansion! Come, arrest him!"

However, none of the guards behind him dared to move. They had just seen Wei Le transcend the tribulation, so who would not be afraid of death and dare to step forward?

"What are you afraid of? Come on!"

"Commander Sun, he... he is either a god or a transcendent. If he goes any further, wouldn't that be courting death?" The other guards echoed.

"Come on, everyone! Otherwise you will be punished for disobeying military orders!"

Hearing this, the guards had no choice but to charge forward.

Li Yi casually said: "In the Prince's Mansion, the bowstrings are broken, the weapons are rolled up, the soldiers take off their armor, and it is difficult to move!" Under the impetus of Li Yi's powerful mental power, the righteous spirit began to take effect as soon as he said it.

All that could be heard was the sound of clattering, pieces of armor falling to the ground, bowstrings breaking, all weapons bending, and the guards could no longer take a step forward.

Zhao Yunrou shouted: "Wei Le, you are so bold!"

Li Yi looked at her with contempt, then raised his hand and grabbed, and the brown-red Qi base directly brought Commander Sun in front of him. After a fierce look, Commander Sun fell unconscious.

Li Yi ripped off his shirt, exposing his neck and back, and made a sword-like cut with his fingers. The skin and flesh parted without bleeding, but everyone could see a nearly one-foot-long multi-legged poisonous insect lurking on Commander Sun's spine! It could be said that it had replaced his spine!

Everyone was horrified. Some maids fainted on the ground, while others covered their mouths to suppress the churning in their stomachs. Even Jing Xin was so scared that she hid behind Xiang Ying and dared not look anymore.

"Can you see clearly, Princess? This is the true state of the Gu worm in the human body! May I ask, Princess, how could such a thing appear in the Prince's Mansion? And how did this person from the Wu Gu Cult become the leader of the guards in the Prince's Mansion?"

Zhao Yunrou was not aware of the witchcraft and was extremely frightened at the moment, but as the Crown Princess, she had to pretend to be calm in front of others. She calmed herself down and said seriously, "I don't know about this either, but even if there is witchcraft in the Crown Prince's Mansion, it is not your turn to take care of it!"

"What the Crown Princess said makes sense. I will bring him before the King and ask the King to make the decision."

"Wait! He belongs to my Prince's Mansion, you can't take him away!"

"Crown Princess, Rong Wei is speaking out of turn. If I want to take him away, no one in Baidi City can stop me."

Xiang Ying stood in front of the Crown Princess and shouted, "Wei Le, are you crazy? How dare you act wild in the Crown Prince's Mansion!"

Jing Xin also stood up and said loudly: "Brother Wei, even if you are extremely powerful, you can't ignore the law and act recklessly!"

At this moment, Mo Bai jumped into the courtyard carrying Yue Hua. The latter saw Li Yi and shouted loudly, "Brother!"

"Yuehua? Why are you here?"

Even though Mo Bai had just told Yue Hua the whole story and taught her how to act, Yue Hua still couldn't hold back her excitement. She ran towards Li Yi, jumped up and threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck tightly, and couldn't stop her tears from falling.

Li Yi stroked her hair, patted her back and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay. With brother here, nothing will happen."

"Wei Le, you are so bold! Do you know that Dugu Yue is the prince's concubine? Are you going to..."

Before the Crown Princess could finish her words, Yuehua suddenly turned around and shouted, "My name is not Dugu Yue! My last name is Li! My name is Li Yuehua! My brother is Da..."

Without waiting for Yuehua to finish her words, Li Yi suddenly reached out and covered her mouth, and said to her: You are stupid! You forgot what Mo Bai said to you! My name is Wei Le now! Don't let me slip!

On the other hand, Li Yi just let go of Yuehua and immediately turned around to glare at Zhao Yunrou, his eyes full of murderous intent. If Jing Xin hadn't supported her, she would have almost fallen to the ground!

Li Yi pointed at Zhao Yunrou and said angrily, "Crown Princess, why did you put a Gu on my sister? Since my sister is already the Crown Prince's concubine, she is the Crown Prince's bedfellow. Even she has a Gu on her body. I'm afraid the entire Crown Prince's Mansion has been controlled by the Witchcraft Cult!"

"Wei Le, stop talking nonsense here! I have no idea what's going on! The Prince's Mansion has never been controlled by the Witchcraft Cult!"

Jing Xin stepped forward, grabbed Li Yi and said, "Brother Wei, the Crown Princess said she didn't know anything, so she definitely didn't know anything. Don't wrongly accuse a good person."

"Good person? Humph, Yuehua, let me ask you, how does this Crown Princess treat you? Is there anything she is not considerate of?"

Yuehua said seriously, "Sister Yunrou is... quite nice to me. She even arranged for someone to teach me etiquette and needlework. I like it very much. I eat well and wear good clothes here. It's much more interesting than in Dunhuang."

Hearing Yuehua say this, Zhao Yunrou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thanking luckily that Yuehua was a silly girl. It was clearly her who was making things difficult for her, but she ended up feeling comfortable wearing them. This could be considered a blessing in disguise that helped her escape a disaster.

Jing Xin immediately consoled him, "Brother Wei, listen. Sister Yuehua has said this. Do you still not believe the Crown Princess? Sister Zhao and I are also very familiar with each other. Sister Zhao is a very good person. You really misunderstood her."

Li Yi looked at Jing Xin, then at Yue Hua. The latter nodded in response, and he took a few steps forward.

Xiang Ying reached out to stop him and said seriously, "Wei Le, what are you doing?"

Li Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air, clasped his fists and saluted to the Crown Princess, saying: "Before, I was worried about my sister and did not understand the truth. I misunderstood the Crown Princess. I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."

Xiang Ying turned her head and looked at Zhao Yunrou, who didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Jing Xin walked to Li Yi, knelt down and said, "Sister Yunrou, no, Crown Princess, please forgive him this time because Wei Le did not mean to offend me." Xiang Ying also knelt on the ground and pleaded for Li Yi.
