Chapter 21 The stubbornness of His Royal Highness the Night King
In the study room on the second floor of the villa, Da Ji Zhongyuan sat alone on a rotating chair with his back to the door, watching the car carrying Gu Gesang go away.
The ghost guard Zhiyan knocked in and entered, "Your Highness, let me see your injuries for you."
"Today, I underestimate the enemy." The swivel chair slowly turned around. Daji Zhongyuan's original appearance could no longer be distinguished. The flesh and blood on his body was being swallowed by the tiny black gold ghost fire at a speed visible to the naked eye. Most of the person had turned into empty white bones.
"Your Highness! Your injury cannot be delayed anymore! I wish I was disrespectful!!!"
When Zhiyan brought Daji Zhongyuan back to the Night King's Palace, he frightened a group of ghost maids.
Even though they served Da Ji Zhongyuan who was sleeping for many years, they had never seen him turn into a bone shape.
"Who hurts my son seriously?" The Ghost God Empress came and shouted loudly, "Where is that living woman? Why didn't she come together?! Don't she plan to provide for my son with blood?! Send people quickly-"
"Mother Queen." Da Ji Zhongyuan stretched out his hand that was already bony and tugged at the brocade sleeve of the Ghost Goddess. "Your daughter-in-law is a living person. If you trespass into the Yin Realm, you will die. Naturally, you can't bring her here without any preparation... Besides, the son's life is safe, and he just got Dali Chenyi's trick of being a worm."
"The trick of the devil?!" The Ghost Goddess snorted angrily, "How powerful is the corpse rot poison that can burn the skin of the ghost spirit! How painful is it? How dare you say that it is just a trick of the devil?!"
Daji Zhongyuan laughed, his bones trembled, and his eyes made the ghost and god feel heartbroken.
"You are still laughing? Don't move anymore! How painful this should be..."
"Mother, my son-in-law is useless to laugh at Li Chenyi. I used to peel off his skin and bones before, so that his body and head were different, but the fight back he had just recovered from his serious injury was less than one-tenth of what I injured him. Isn't this ridiculous?"
The Ghost God sighed and walked out of the Night King Palace. He first threatened the ghost doctor waiting outside, and then went to find Lord Ghost God.
"Have the mother left?"
"Go back to Your Highness, the Empress is gone." Zhi Yan replied respectfully.
Daji Zhongyuan gritted his teeth and ordered, "Let the maids build a barrier for me - for sound insulation."
"yes."
Zhiyan took the order and retreated, feeling unbearable. Just by looking at Daji Zhongyuan in a hurry, he seemed to feel the tearing and burning pain of the bone-acupuncture needle.
——
The ghost guard who was responsible for driving Gu Gesang back was named Zhifeng, who was the leader of the ghost guard brought out by Daji Zhongyuan from the Yin Realm.
At this time, he secretly observed Gu Gesang's expression through the rearview mirror, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but comfort him.
"Princess, don't worry, Your Highness, the Night King is very powerful. No one can hurt him."
"Yes." Gu Gesang answered in a muffled voice, but couldn't cheer up no matter how hard he was.
Did he really not get hurt?
She raised her hand and covered her sore and astringent heart, always feeling very uneasy.
As Daji Zhongyuan expected, Gu Gesang's people had received a call from the police before they arrived home.
They claimed that in the three recent murders, the victim had contact with Gu Gesang before his death, so she is currently the police's key suspect.
The police officers who have retrieved Gu Gesang's information are actually very troubled.
Gu Gesang's personal profile is very clean. He has been a good child since childhood. Apart from his a little introverted personality, he has never had any anti-social or personal tendencies.
Despite this, the murder case is an indisputable fact. Shortly after returning home, Gu Gesang was invited to the Public Security Bureau for investigation.
On the way there, Gu Gesang was in a state of confusion. She knew she could not tell the truth, but she was not a good person at making lies, and her back was so anxious that she was sweating.
"Prince, don't be afraid." Achai suddenly came out of the white jade ring, "Achai just received a message from His Highness. Achai teaches the princess how to state his confession..."
Hearing the word "Your Highness", Gu Gesang immediately sat upright, "Achai, you can't lie to me - to be honest, how is Your Highness's injury?"
"How could our highness be injured so well? Hehe..." Ah Chaixu patted his chest and immediately changed the subject, "Princess, please take care of the matter in front of you first!"
Zhifeng and Achai quickly exchanged glances, and both cherished their lives and dared not betray Daji Zhongyuan.
Fortunately, Gu Gesang was fooled for the time being. Although he was frowning, he did not ask any further questions.
After arriving at the destination, he got off the car and saw the "People's Public Security" hanging high on the building in front of him and the solemn policeman. Gu Gesang was not guilty but was still a little scared.
Her palms were sweating, and she repeatedly recalled what Ah Chai had just taught her twice in her mind.
The continuous murders of Xing Sifang and others were a big case in Hangzhou. As soon as Gu Gesang arrived, a police officer who was specifically responsible for investigating the case came to question him.
In the simple and solemn small room, Gu Gesang and the investigators sat face to face.
"Because I haven't been sleeping well at night recently, my sleep quality is too poor, I saw a doctor and took medicine but it was useless. My family felt that the right way was useless. I heard that when I learned that there was a man who was very good at Feng Shui in the vegetable market, I asked my boyfriend to accompany me to see... But I didn't expect that he would be killed suddenly... We left there during the day, and he was fine when we left!"
The last sentence is not within the scope of the content Achai taught her, but is Gu Gesang's own voice.
She also felt sympathy yesterday because of Xing Sifang's fate of being indifferent to relatives, but in a blink of an eye she heard that the person who wanted to die was dead...
Life is too fragile.
Gu Gesang silently clenched his hand.
If one day I can compete with Dali Chenyi face to face, she must let this demon who is careless and slander her man taste the pain!
——
That night, in the palace of Yewang.
"Although the death of a living person was verified by the Yin-Yang Administration, it was done by the Dali clan, but because the matter involved you, it caused a lot of criticism in the court." Lord Ghost and God stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the pavilion of the Night King Hall and looking at Wangchuan, emitting a faint blue light, leaving behind a thoughtful back for Daji Zhongyuan.
"There are people in the court who are making a big fuss about this incident." Da Ji Zhongyuan's skin had recovered, but because of the pain, he could only lie on the bed and could not move.
He sighed with great remorse, "It's a bad thing for the sons. Not only did he not share his worries for his father, but he also caused trouble for his father."
Lord Ghost turned around and smiled slightly, "As long as you can get your heart back as soon as possible, this pressure is nothing to your father. By the way, I heard that my daughter-in-law was also implicated. How is she now? I must be very scared when I see the dead, right?"
"Defend not to underestimate her, she is very powerful."
"Oh? Hehe..."
Gu Gesang, who was very powerful in Daji Zhongyuan's words, is now studying at home. Because of Daji Zhongyuan's special instructions, Zhu Yi specially moved the Gu family from the villa and took care of Gu Gesang's daily life in every detail.
Gu Gesang was originally a refusal to this, but Gu’s father and mother Gu usually had to go to work, so everyone was worried that Gu Gesang was alone at home. In addition, the Gu family’s parents did not know that Zhu Yi was a human form transformed by ghost spirits, and thought that he was the one invited by Daji Zhongyuan, so they accepted the arrangement without any objection.
"What do the princess want to eat at noon? I'll go buy vegetables." Zhu Yi stood at the door of the study with his hands down, very respectful.
Gu Gesang bit the end of the pen and was flipping through the information, and answered casually, "You can arrange it."
"Then make the princess' favorite avocado salmon warship sushi." Zhu Yi said it very plainly, and it sounds like she is making it often.
Just hearing the name of this dish, Gu Gesang's greed woke up. She looked at Zhu Yi in surprise, "Miss, you... So that's so amazing..."
"I have lived for more than a hundred years, but I haven't learned anything else, but I just learned how to cook." Zhu Yi smiled.
More than a hundred years...
Gu Gesang instantly returned to the real world from his fantasy of food.
"Princess, please read the book first, I'm out." Zhu Yi said and closed the door gently.
Gu Gesang turned his gaze back to the book, but in less than half a minute, the noise from outside once again interfered with her learning progress.
"Hello! Does Miss Gu Gesang live here? We are reporters of "Today's Topic" and want to conduct a simple interview with Miss Gu in terms of several recent murders..."
Zhu Yi slammed the door and closed it.
Gu Gesang had already walked out after hearing the sound, and the reporter heard most of the words.
Zhu Yi looked back at her sorry, "I'm sorry, the princess..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Gu Gesang rubbed his hair in distress.
"Let's call the police, they are considered disturbing the people like this." Zhu Yi said, taking out his cell phone and pressing 110.
Soon, a nearby patrol police received a report to drive away the reporter, and Zhu Yi finally walked out of the house to buy vegetables. However, when she came back, she found that there were many sneaky people downstairs in the Gu family community, either pointing at Gu Gesang's bedroom, or peeking at the Gu family's window with a high-end telescope in the car.
Under the constraints of the two-world convention, Zhu Yi was unable to drive these people away by using the Yin power to control their consciousness, but this did not prevent her from eavesdropping on their words.
"That Gu Gesang lives here! It's definitely right! My colleague squatted here as soon as he received it in the morning! He's seen her parents!"
"I guess I don't dare to go out if I have such a thing."
"The more you dare not go out, the more you mean there is a ghost in your heart!"
"Don't say so much. Only by taking valuable things can you get this news. It's best to take a picture of the person involved in the news, who looks pale and thin... Tsk tsk, the people love to watch it the most."
Zhu Yi, who was carrying the dish, pretended not to know anything and walked into the corridor with a blank expression.
The reporters who have seen photos of Gu's parents are not sure that Zhu Yi is also a person around Gu Gesang, so her existence naturally did not attract attention.
After returning home, Zhu Yi told Gu Gesang about the situation he found. Gu Gesang was so upset that he simply threw the book aside, called his parents separately, informed them of the abnormal situation near their homes, and notified them not to come back.
"You can stay at my aunt's house or my aunt's house for two days, don't come back anyway."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Gesang got back into the room in annoyance.
"princess--"
