Bai Chen instantly transformed into the appearance of a child. His cute fox ears twitched, and his little tail swayed. With a wronged look on his face, he said, "It's cold at night. I'm so frail that I might fall ill! Ruo Ruo's body is so warm!"
After saying that, he rubbed against Wan Ruo.
My goodness! This is just too adorable! My heart is about to melt!
"Hey? You can take on this form?" Wan Ruo asked curiously, reaching out her finger to poke his ear.
"Of course! What kind of form do you like? This one?" With a "bang", he instantly changed from a child into a cute, fluffy white fox. "Or this one?" Another "bang", and he transformed into a charming adult man.
"Or do you think this form will make you feel closer?" With another "bang", he turned into a charming woman.
Seeing that the charming woman in front of her was actually Bai Chen in disguise, Wan Ruo immediately felt a wave of nausea.
Wan Ruo: "..."
"Please, just be normal!..." Wan Ruo said awkwardly.
With a "bang", Bai Chen changed back to his original form. Those deep purple eyes that could ensnare people's souls, his delicate facial features, he seemed like a demonic being.
This looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Wan Ruo and Bai Chen were about to go and visit Si Hongxi when they happened to meet Yun Jiu on the way.
"Lord Bai Chen, Miss Ruo Ruo, I'll go back to Shananfang first!"
"Okay, it's fine. You can go back for now," Bai Chen said after some thought.
Wan Ruo also nodded and told him, "Be careful on the way!"
Then the two of them came to Si Hongxi's residence, but Mu Qing told them, "My lord went to the palace to see the emperor early this morning. Before he left, he specifically instructed that if the two of you came, you should wait for a while. He'll be back soon!"
He's still injured but he went to the palace? He really doesn't care about himself at all!
The two waited in Si Hongxi's room. Wan Ruo complained, "He's still injured. He doesn't even know how to take care of himself. He's so hardworking! Well... it seems that being a prince isn't that easy!"
Wan Ruo was still full of concern and complaints, completely unaware that Bai Chen was frowning darkly at this moment.
Bai Chen said jealously, "You still have the time to care about others? You can't even protect yourself!"
Hearing Bai Chen's words, although the speaker didn't mean anything by it, the listener took it to heart. Wan Ruo secretly made up her mind that she must become stronger.
Just then, Si Hongxi rushed back.
"Good that you're both here. Hurry up and come with me to the palace!" Si Hongxi said anxiously.
"What happened?" Wan Ruo saw that there was a shallow bloodstain on Si Hongxi's face as if it had been scratched by something. She asked worriedly.
"Let's go first. I'll tell you on the way!"
The three of them quickly got into the carriage and rushed towards the palace.
Early in the morning, the emperor urgently summoned the Prince of Pingnan, Si Hongxi, to the palace to discuss important matters.
A few days ago, an envoy from a foreign vassal state came to see the emperor and proposed that for the sake of good relations between the two countries, Princess Anyao should marry into the foreign vassal state.
The emperor agreed. It seemed that Princess Anyao would be married off to the foreign vassal state in a few days. But just in the past two days, Princess Anyao suddenly seemed to have gone crazy!
She went on a rampage in the harem, hurting people. The imperial doctor had examined her and said it was a madness of the mind, but the medicine had no effect at all. Now she could only be locked in a room and not allowed to go out.
Si Hongxi went to the palace today to discuss this matter with the emperor.
If the foreign vassal state found out that Princess Anyao had gone mad and couldn't fulfill the marriage contract as promised, they would surely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and there might be a war that would affect the common people!
If someone took advantage of this situation to stir things up, the consequences would be even more unimaginable!
So they must find a way to prevent this from happening!
After hearing about this, Si Hongxi quickly went to check on Princess Anyao's situation. Unexpectedly, she seemed not to recognize him and even scratched his face with her hand!
Si Hongxi thought that this matter was not that simple, so he quickly took the two of them to find out what was going on.
"Why did she suddenly go mad? Could she have been stimulated by something?" Wan Ruo asked doubtfully.
Madness of the mind? Bai Chen frowned slightly, his eyes sharp. It seemed that he had thought of something.
The three of them, relying on the imperial medal bestowed by the emperor, went straight to the Yiru Palace.
This was Princess Anyao's residence. Inside the huge palace walls, the entrance to the Yiru Palace was heavily guarded by soldiers!
From time to time, there were strange banging sounds coming from inside.
As soon as Si Hongxi was about to get closer, the soldiers at the door immediately blocked him.
"The emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to get close!"
She was completely isolated!
At this moment, they were standing outside the door. Bai Chen seemed to have sensed something. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his face was gloomy.
Seeing Bai Chen's expression, Wan Ruo knew that there must be something unusual inside, just as they had guessed.
Si Hongxi immediately took out the imperial medal and said intimidatingly, "Look clearly. This is the imperial medal bestowed by the emperor. It's as if the emperor is here in person!"
When the two soldiers saw the imperial medal, they immediately knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Wan Ruo was stunned by this spectacle. This was so cool!
"Alright, get up! Open the door!" Si Hongxi ordered.
When the two soldiers heard that they were going to open the door, they looked at each other, a little worried. "Yes!" They still opened the door.
The three of them entered the room together. Si Hongxi closed the door.
As soon as they entered the room, Wan Ruo looked around for Princess Anyao's figure, while Bai Chen closed his eyes tightly.
Suddenly, Princess Anyao jumped down from the ceiling like a monster and rushed towards the three of them, ready to attack!
Before Wan Ruo and Si Hongxi could react, Bai Chen kicked Princess Anyao flying.
With a "bang", Anyao hit the wall heavily.
Bai Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at her contemptuously. He said coldly, "What evil spirit dares to cause trouble here!"
"Anyao?" Si Hongxi watched as the beaten Anyao slowly stood up, twisted her body and neck, and took two steps towards them.
He couldn't believe that this was still Anyao.
"She's no longer Princess Anyao. She's possessed by an evil spirit!" Wan Ruo frowned tightly and looked at her strangely.
"Humph...haha...cough cough..."
Strange cold laughter came from Anyao's body. There was still blood on the corner of her upturned mouth.
"As long as her body is here, if I die, she won't be able to live either!" the evil spirit said proudly.
Hearing that Princess Anyao might die, Si Hongxi got a little anxious. He looked at Bai Chen nervously and said, "Anyao can't die!"
Wan Ruo also looked a bit nervous. This evil spirit deserved to die, but after all, this was related to Anyao's life!
The evil spirit knew that they were worried about Anyao's life and was sure that they wouldn't hurt it. It thought that the bargaining chip in its hand was big enough, so it became even more unscrupulous and sneered.
Facing the arrogant evil spirit, Bai Chen looked calm. Somehow, he was holding a small fan in his hand and patting it. He snorted indifferently, "Humph! Really? But whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me..."
Instantly, the evil spirit was stunned. It immediately put away its proud look and asked in disbelief, "What? What did you say?"
Si Hongxi and Wan Ruo were also shocked by Bai Chen's words.
