Chapter 1866 He really woke up
Lu Zhaoling didn't pay attention to what was happening in the capital for the time being.
However, she still needed to know the general outline of what was happening with the Crown Prince.
So she asked Xiao Hei to keep an eye on things.
The Great Zhou royal family was in turmoil, something Youming would normally observe as a mere spectator.
However, this time, they are more concerned about something else.
After all, the Princess Consort of Jin is the eldest sister.
The Crown Prince is the eldest sister's nephew.
So, this matter, rounded up, can be considered their own business.
The ghost messengers will all know about it.
Even Meng Po, when she received a ghost from the capital who had just died today, asked a few questions first.
"You're a citizen of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty? And you just died today?"
An elderly woman standing next to her looked somewhat uneasy.
"Yes. He just died today."
"That's strange, how come someone who just died today is already allowed to cross the bridge?"
Meng Po found it strange.
With so many ghosts lined up, the judge hasn't had time to deal with them properly yet. Logically speaking, those who have just died should have to wait in line for at least half a month.
If the judge hasn't returned yet, it could take several years.
It's truly remarkable that this old woman can now cross the bridge to go to her death.
"I... I heard from the ghost messenger who brought me down that I did good deeds in my previous life and had a brief encounter with a certain sister. There happened to be a suitable place for me to go, so they sent me here."
The old woman was still a little uneasy.
Was this also her first time meeting Meng Po?
Anyway, I have no experience. Even if I've seen it before, I have no memory of it.
But wouldn't you just quietly come over, take the soup, drink it, and then quietly cross the bridge?
Why does Meng Po have so much to talk about with her?
What sister?
Meng Po glanced at her and then realized what was happening.
I'm afraid they're talking about the eldest sister.
"Have you met Princess Jin?" she asked.
The old woman's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, you know her too? My house is very close to the Cui residence. I saw her when she first returned to the capital, and I also helped her out when she was saving people on the street."
"Also, recently her junior brother's family has been staying at the Cui residence, and I occasionally send them some vegetables or something, treating them like neighbors. However, I rarely have the chance to see Princess Jin anymore."
"She just got married to Prince Jin a few days ago, and now she's a princess."
When Lu Zhaoling is mentioned, the old lady becomes quite talkative.
She was the Lu family's neighbor.
I even used to help criticize the Lu family.
Moreover, a while ago, when the Lu family went to the Cui residence to curse the Jin family, she even joined in the cursing.
Those people from the Lu family are truly shameless.
They even claimed that it was their home and that the Jin family had forcibly occupied their home.
It was clearly the Cui residence that was registered; it was Lu Zhaoling who allowed the Jin family to move in, yet the Lu family still dared to go and curse at them.
However, the old lady had quite a strong voice when she was scolding people.
She never imagined that she would die in her sleep like this.
This death truly came without warning.
But she didn't feel too bad. She was already 68 years old, which was considered quite a long life in their area.
She was initially very nervous when she met Meng Po, but after talking about Lu Zhaoling, she miraculously stopped being nervous and was even able to chat with Meng Po for a few more minutes.
I never expected that Meng Po would also know about Lu Zhaoling.
After hearing her words, Meng Po understood why she was able to pass away so quickly.
This old woman has never done anything wrong in her life. She is kind-hearted and always helps others whenever she can. She has also helped Jin Yuan and Lu Zhaoling, both of whom are members of the First Xuanmen.
Leaving aside the eldest sister, everyone else in the First Mystic Sect also holds a position of importance in their Netherworld.
Therefore, it is her good fortune that this old woman was able to be reincarnated first, instead of having to wait in line in the underworld.
"What news was happening in the capital before you died? What was going on in the palace? Tell me a few words."
Meng Po and the other ghost messengers were all paying attention to what was happening in the capital, and Lu Zhaoling naturally overheard some of it.
Zhou Shiyue finally woke up today.
He woke up the day before yesterday but fell back into a deep sleep. He woke up briefly again yesterday, but he still didn't have the strength to speak. Judging from his eyes and expression, his consciousness was still somewhat blank.
He simply held Lu Zhaoling's hand, looked at her for a moment, and then closed his eyes.
But after what happened yesterday, Lu Zhaoling was truly relieved.
She stayed by Zhou Shiyue's side, almost never leaving his side.
Yin Changxing went to the desolate region again.
He said that they did need help there, but he hadn't yet explained how he knew to use those things to save Zhou Shiyue.
They said they would talk about it after Zhou Shiyue was fully awake.
Yin Yunting stayed in the Judge's Hall to handle official business.
This is good news for the ghost messengers. With the judge returning and him presiding over the judge's hall, all matters can be handled quickly, and they have a pillar of support.
Some of the ghost messengers even secretly asked—
"When will the judge die?"
"Would you dare ask him that in person?"
"I wouldn't dare."
"But I also think it would be better if Your Honor died soon."
If others heard this conversation, they would probably be stunned.
However, what the ghost messengers meant was something Yin Yunting himself understood. Although he was a judge, he was still Yin Yunting, and still had a living body.
He will eventually have to return to the mortal realm to complete this life.
Only by truly dying can one truly return here. However, when he heard the ghost messengers discussing this, he could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.
"My lord, the Prince of Jin has awakened."
Xiao Hei came over and whispered something to him.
At this moment, Yin Yunting sat in the hall in the form of a judge, with two ghosts kneeling below him.
These two ghosts had done all sorts of bad things in their lives, so we need to find out more. We're about to sentence them to the animal realm.
Hearing Xiao Hei's words, Yin Yunting was in a good mood and almost sentenced them to be birds of prey.
He quickly tilted the pen to the side and corrected it.
"Go, there are two places waiting for you in the animal realm."
"Your Honor, please spare us! We promise to repent and reform ourselves in our next life..."
The two ghosts cried and screamed, and were quickly dragged away.
"Does Your Excellency wish to visit the Prince of Jin?" Xiao Hei asked.
"Wait a minute, he just woke up, and Senior Sister must have a lot to say to him."
Yin Yunting shook his head. He decided to give the couple some space so he wouldn't have to watch them being all lovey-dovey.
"next."
He still has a lot of things to take care of.
In the rear hall.
Zhou Shiyue was holding Lu Zhaoling, his voice a little weak.
"I remember someone was crying a lot. Let me see if they've changed my clothes yet?"
Lu Zhaoling pinched him, "Why change your clothes?"
"Didn't you cry all over my clothes?" Zhou Shiyue's voice was weak, but still tinged with sarcasm.
It seems he's truly awake now!
He made Lu Zhaoling's tears disappear.
"You almost died, do you know that?" she said through gritted teeth.
