Chapter 117: Grievance
Su Ying'er took two steps back in shock: "So, it suddenly occurred to me that our deaths also seem to be related to the Crown Prince!"
Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes: "Crown Prince?"
"Noble Lady Ning was previously rumored to have seduced the Crown Prince, and the whereabouts of her unborn child were also rumored to be unknown!"
"After Concubine Jing became pregnant, she was caned to death for writing a letter to the Crown Prince, disrupting his studies!"
"And then there was Concubine Rou. She loved sour food and went to pick some sour dates outside Jingyang Palace. Later, it was rumored that the sour dates were from a tree in the Eastern Palace. She was then confined to the palace as well, and three months later, she was found hanged in her own palace..."
Su Ying'er thought about all this in disbelief. At this moment, she seemed to understand everything.
She was filled with grief and indignation, unable to help but shout, "Master, Dad! I was killed by Queen Ji! They fabricated a false accusation against me for the sake of the Third Prince!"
Lu Xuan now understood. No wonder the prince had lived in the deep palace for so long and almost never contacted the outside world.
Considering the Ji family's aggressive stance towards others, the Crown Prince has no chance of an easy life. He must be on high alert all day long!
"But even if you harbor resentment, that's no reason for you to remain in the human world forever. You said before that there was an invisible force trapping you. Do you know what that force is?"
Su Ying'er shook her head: "I don't know, I only know that unless the Sect Master takes action today, I will never be able to break free from my father's body!"
Lu Xuan had a guess.
She opened the window of the wing room. Outside the window was an old locust tree. It was midsummer and the shade was thick.
The locust tree was so lush and leafy that it blocked out most of the sunlight, leaving only a few scattered rays of sunlight penetrating through the shade.
She looked at Su Yingting and said, "This locust tree in Lord Su's courtyard must be a hundred years old, right?"
Su Yingting was silent for a moment. "This is a mansion bestowed by the late emperor. It was previously said to belong to the family of a criminal. Counting it, it's indeed over a hundred years old!"
Lu Xuan nodded: "The problem may lie with this locust tree!"
Lord Su was confused, and saw Lu Xuan walk to the window and raise his hand to cast a talisman.
The window was against the tree trunk, and the talisman suddenly shot out from behind her, flew around the trunk three times, and finally stuck tightly to the bark.
Lu Xuan recited a nectar spell, and in the blink of an eye, even Lu Xiao and Madam Su outside the door seemed to see three golden ropes on the tree trunk where the talisman had just circled three times. In just a moment, the light went out again.
"This locust tree has a spirit, and it has long coexisted with this house. The locust tree is a yin wood, and since Concubine Yun has lived in this house since she was a child, the locust tree spirit is familiar with you and can't help but want to keep you here."
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Su Ying'er covered her mouth in shock. "Is it the locust tree spirit that's causing trouble? It's caused me to be trapped in my father's body all these days and can't get out?!"
"No, the locust tree spirit probably wanted to protect the Su family and kept you in it, but something went wrong that night, so Master Su must have rested in this room, right?"
Su Yingting thought about it, his eyes widened, and he nodded quickly.
"Yes, the night I dreamt of Ying'er, I was busy with work, so I didn't go back to the dormitory and stayed in the side room!"
Mrs. Su outside had already heard everything Su Yingting said, but she didn't hear what Su Ying'er said, and thought something had happened.
Out of curiosity and fear that things would get out of control, he was so anxious that he kept pacing around the door, not daring to come in.
Lu Xuan heard footsteps outside the door and opened the door with a hand gesture.
"No wonder, no wonder the master refuses to leave this room every day!" Mrs. Su rushed in.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Lord Su, but not Su Ying'er, and almost passed through Su Ying'er.
Lu Xuan quickly put a talisman on her.
A talisman appeared on her body, and Mrs. Su opened her eyes, frightened to the point of almost staggering.
Su Ying'er's ghost was floating in front of her. She was horrified: "Ying'er!"
"Ying'er! You, what are you doing..."
Lu Xuan quickly told Mrs. Su about the matter.
When Mrs. Su heard the bad news, her vision went dark, her knees went weak, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Ying'er, you are the child that your mother and father finally had. How could you be so far ahead of them..."
Mrs. Su was heartbroken and collapsed on the ground, crying loudly.
"You've been wronged so much. You've never suffered so much since you were little. You're tearing my heart apart..."
Lord Su had been holding back his tears, but now his heart ached, and every word he spoke was full of tears: "Your mother and I were in our forties when we had you. You are our only child. If you are gone, how can your parents live on?"
He couldn't help but choke up and sob: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sent you to that cannibalistic palace. Don't want that kind of wealth and glory, marry someone from an ordinary family!"
Lu Xuan looked at Su Ying'er and said, "Princess Yun, even if you harbor resentment, the human world is not a place for you to stay for long. Say goodbye to your family, and then I'll send you on your way!"
"Master!" Su Ying'er knelt down, grief-stricken. "Thank you, Master, for letting me see my parents again. But Ying'er is unwilling to give up. I must find an opportunity to seek revenge on the Queen!"
"My child, my first child, is gone just like that. I can't accept it!"
Lu Xuan could understand Su Ying'er's persistence, but he was somewhat displeased with her self-destruction: "I saved you today because I hope you can enter the reincarnation cycle and avoid the pain of your soul being torn apart! Not because I want you to harm others and yourself for revenge again!"
"Your vengeance can be avenged by heaven and man, but not by ghosts! What kind of place is the Imperial Palace? It's the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, filled with the aura of a true dragon. Isn't it enough that you were ejected? And you're still rushing to seek your own destruction!"
Madam Su secretly glanced at Lu Xuan's face, sobbing and trying to persuade him: "Ying'er, your parents will avenge you one day. Don't be so obsessed! If your soul scatters, then your parents will never see you again in the next life..."
Mrs. Su's tears seemed to burst out, and the old tears flowed down her wrinkles. She even breathed hard and covered her heart with her hands in pain.
Su Yingting was even more filled with hatred.
Ying'er died, and not even a word of the news came out of the palace!
How could he not hate such disregard for human life and bullying?
That was his daughter whom he had doted on all his life, the jewel he held in his hands so tightly that he was afraid it would melt!
Suddenly, with a "pu" sound, Su Yingting spat out a mouthful of blood.
"father!"
"Master!"
After vomiting blood, Su Yingting's attention was diverted and he felt better.
He choked up and said, "Ying'er, your parents will live well for you until they avenge you! You should follow the princess's guidance and stop being so stubborn!"
Now he can only endure it and find an opportunity to avenge his daughter later.
Lu Xuan's voice turned cold: "To be honest, I also have a grudge against the Ji family, so Yunpin doesn't have to worry about this grudge!"
She looked at the locust tree and said, "Since God arranged for me to meet you today, I think he wants to tell me some information through you. When I take revenge, I will definitely take your share!"
Su Ying'er stood there in disbelief.
The sect leader also has a grudge against the Ji family?
She was stunned for a moment, thinking about her parents and her own abilities, and felt that this surprise was a little too unreal.
She immediately kowtowed to Lu Xuan excitedly, "Master, take me with you. Even if my soul scatters and I can never be reincarnated, I will personally witness and wash away the grievances of this life! When the time comes, I can also help you!"
After saying this, she looked at the rebirth talisman in Lu Xuan's hand with a hint of disappointment. "If Princess insists on taking me to reincarnation, I will not be willing to do so. If I struggle and tangle on the road of reincarnation, I will only end up with my soul torn apart. Please, Princess, help me..."
Seeing her expression of rage, Lu Xuan was shocked. She didn't expect Yunpin to be so persistent in her desire for revenge. Even though she said she had an old grudge, she still insisted on seeing it with her own eyes and killing him herself!
Su Yingting and Mrs. Su had complicated expressions.
First, the princess told such a big secret for the sake of her daughter, and Mrs. Su felt ashamed for her previous doubts about Lu Xuan.
Secondly, even after all this, the daughter didn’t appreciate it and still insisted on taking revenge!
This also shows that my child has suffered a great injustice.
Lu Xuan thought for a few moments and sighed, "If that's the case, then so be it!"
She looked at Madam Su and said, "Madam, please take off the jade bracelet on your hand and use it as a requiem for Concubine Yun. When I have my revenge, I will send her to reincarnation."
