Chapter 51 She Doesn't Want Her Scumbag Ex-Husband Anymore 11
With this idea in mind, Xu Yang began to formulate a plan.
The current rank of Huang Feng, born to Ji Huadan, is indeed too low, and it is difficult to convince everyone with such a rank.
He is Hongfeng. If he and Ji Huadan have more children, they might be able to produce a high-ranking one.
He doesn't ask for much now; just one Hongfeng is enough.
Songyu Palace
Ji Xiaosong was teasing Feng Fanyin when Feng Cangwu returned from Fenghua Palace.
"Today, the sound of the Brahma suddenly broke out of its shell. I found this very suspicious, so I went back to check and unexpectedly discovered the aura of the demon race."
"Demon?"
Ji Xiaosong was startled. The Phoenix Clan has always been very protective of its territory. For thousands of years, there has never been any sign of the Demon Clan interfering with the Phoenix Clan. Why did the Demon Clan appear at Feng Fanyin's first appearance banquet?
"Yes, I thought that the first thing the Brahma did after hatching was to peck at the Flower Egg, so I decided to go and find out."
"This matter is extremely important. If demons have indeed infiltrated, they must be up to no good. Cangwu, if you go, you must be careful!"
Feng Cangwu gently embraced Ji Xiaosong, placed a kiss on her forehead, and said softly, "Song'er, don't worry too much. I will definitely protect myself and find out the truth of this matter."
The atmosphere was warm and cozy, but Feng Fanyin suddenly broke free, flew up, and started pecking at Feng Cangwu's face.
Her tiny, beady eyes looked puffed up with anger, as if someone had stolen her precious treasure.
"Hurry up, our daughter is urging you to go."
Feng Cangwu's lips curled up slightly, a helpless yet doting smile blooming in front of Feng Fanyin.
His daughter, on the other hand, has a strong temper.
That's for the best. As Feng Cangwu's daughter, she can't be weak and incompetent.
A flash of golden light, and Feng Cangwu's figure disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were already hidden behind Ji Huadan.
At this moment, Ji Huadan was basking in the sun in the parasol tree forest. A palace attendant was carefully fanning her, while another palace attendant was feeding her a slice of spiritual fruit.
Two palace servants were digging a pit not far away, doing something unknown.
Ji Huadan narrowed her eyes slightly, muttering to herself from time to time: "Xu Yang just sent over some more trinkets to curry favor. How boring. Does this princess need his little things?"
“The lady is right,” a palace attendant echoed.
Suddenly, a palace attendant walked slowly over, head bowed, not daring to make a sound.
"Madam, Elder Xu has sent someone to invite you to dine at Wangri Pavilion tonight."
Ji Huadan frowned and said impatiently, "Hmph, what trick is he up to now?"
The palace attendant beside him quickly flattered, "Perhaps Elder Xu wants to ease the tension with the lady and apologize to her."
Upon hearing this, Ji Huadan chuckled softly, her mood improving somewhat.
"Could he really be so kind? But it wouldn't hurt to go and see what he's up to."
Since Ji Huadan had agreed, the palace attendant bowed and took his leave quickly, as if staying any longer would be fatal.
"Is the pit dug yet?"
Ji Huadan asked casually.
The palace maid who was fanning herself suddenly trembled like a leaf. She lowered her head and remained silent.
Despite his trembling hands, the palace servant who was feeding the spirit fruit still glanced at the other palace servants who were digging the hole.
"Reporting to... Madam, they have finished digging."
"Then let's bury it."
Feng Cangwu watched from the side, looking puzzled.
They were all skilled in cultivation, and as members of the Phoenix Clan, they could dig a pit with a single spell. Yet Ji Huadan insisted that these palace servants use hoes.
Who exactly is being buried in this hole?
Soon, Feng Cangwu found out exactly what was buried.
A phoenix covered in blood, its features unrecognizable, was dragged over. Ji Huadan glanced at it with disgust and then ordered a palace servant to throw it into the pit.
Feng Cangwu used his divine sense to probe and found that the phoenix covered in blood still had a breath.
Buried alive?
How utterly depraved must one be to do such a thing?
Feng Cangwu quietly made a hand seal, rescuing the blood phoenix and setting up an illusion to make Ji Huadan believe that it had been buried.
Based on his understanding of the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen, they would not allow Ji Huadan to do such a thing.
Whether they are royalty or not, there is no reason to treat ordinary people like this.
They were not only subjects, but also clansmen.
Therefore, Ji Huadan's actions clearly demonstrate his ability to deceive everyone.
Feng Cangwu wrapped the blood-covered, featherless phoenix in a paulownia leaf and infused it with some spiritual energy to maintain its vital signs.
Ji Huadan has a problem; the phoenix that was buried alive might become a key clue later.
Feng Cangwu did not leave, but instead began to probe Ji Huadan's spiritual sense.
But no matter how he investigated, he found no trace of demonic energy in his aunt.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
After much deliberation, Feng Cangwu decided to first deliver the injured phoenix to Ji Xiaosong.
*
Ji Xiaosong frowned when she saw the featherless phoenix covered in blood that Feng Cangwu had brought back.
"Made by Ji Huadan?"
"how do you know?"
Could she say it's the memories of the original body's previous life?
Ji Xiaosong was originally thinking about how to find something on her, but he didn't expect to find something so quickly.
The original owner knew that Ji Huadan had done this more than once, but no one had ever found any evidence.
"This is just my guess. But in any case, we must tell Father and Mother about this so they know. However, right now, the most important thing is to find a physician to treat her. Only by ensuring her safety can we better handle this matter later."
“Song’er is absolutely right. Saving lives is the priority.”
Ji Xiaosong had a palace attendant bring the physician up, and then went to Fenghua Palace with Feng Cangwu.
"Father, Mother, I have something important to discuss with you."
Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen exchanged a glance, and Phoenix King said, "Come in."
Ji Xiaosong and Feng Cangwu entered the hall. After paying their respects, Ji Xiaosong recounted in detail how Ji Huadan had buried his injured clansmen alive.
"Such a thing has happened? That Hua Dan is far too audacious!" Empress Feng frowned, her face filled with shock.
She just felt that something was wrong with the palace servants who kept disappearing from Ji Huadan's palace.
However, Ji Huadan gave a reason, and since the Phoenix King didn't allow her to interfere at the time, she didn't get involved.
Looking back now, those missing palace servants didn't escape on their own; they were buried alive.
"Mother, this is absolutely true. I think that since Ji Huadan was used to digging pits and burying people alive near where she lived, there must also be remains of people buried alive in the palace where she once lived. We just need to go to the palace where she once lived and search carefully, and we might find something."
The Phoenix King's face grew increasingly grim. He truly hadn't expected that his trust in his niece would lead to so many deaths.
Palace servants are also members of the same clan; it's their fate too!
"Alright, let's go and take a look together."
