I blinked.

I don’t know when Zhou Quan came in, and I didn’t even hear the footsteps. He was already standing less than five steps away from the dragon bed, which shocked me to death. Under the cover of the flickering candlelight,

The deep facial features seemed to be covered with a layer of vague orange, making it difficult for people to see the expression on his face clearly.

Mandrill looked back at him, then turned back and stared at me in disbelief.

"You actually assassinated General Liu?"

"He deserves to die!" Before I could answer, Lin Jingyu spoke before me. I immediately nodded in agreement: "That bastard's crime deserves to be punished! His whole family should be exterminated, and even the nine clans should be executed!"

Now it was Lin Jingyu's turn to glare at me. His almost bloodless pink lips pursed, and then he took a deep breath. Then he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Master Supervisor holds important positions and shoulders many responsibilities."

To assist me in the important task of governing the country, the late emperor once issued an edict that while he was supervising state affairs on my behalf, he would be exempted from death penalty. If a family member makes a mistake, he will only be judged according to the law and there is no need to implicate others. "

Wow! There is such a useful gold medal to avoid death! No wonder Uncle Liu can make trouble and make money everywhere!

I pursed my lips and complained in a small voice, but Zhou Quan spoke up again, it was still the same problem.

"Is it really you who killed Liu Qiang yourself?"

I nodded and saw that his face was serious and he was staring at me for a moment, so I joked again: "Were you there that day? I remember that you are the ones I like! I know you well."

Well, you'd better surrender to me!" Before I could finish speaking, a big palm swung at me. I was so frightened that my face turned pale, and I quickly rolled towards the bed, but he grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up.

.

"Ah! Let me go! I'm going to sue you for molesting the dragon body!"

With a gentle flick of his big hand, he threw me back on the bed, facing Lin Jingyu.

He looked at me blankly. His eyes were obscured by the dim candlelight, and only two faint dancing flames could be seen.

"Hey, I won't tell anyone that kind of thing!" I leaned close to his cheek and whispered in his ear. His body stiffened for a moment.

"What's going on?" Zhou Quan and Mandrill asked in unison.

That's it, forget that these two are unusually skilled, and their ears are pointier than a rabbit's.

"It's not a big deal." Before I could think of a word, Lin Jingyu waved his hand and dismissed them. The two people originally wanted to say something, but after looking at Lin Jingyu's unhappy face, they still respectfully withdrew.

Got off.

Only then did I notice Qin Murong, who had been standing by the bedside without saying a word. His moist eyes with shimmering light had been watching me silently.

When our eyes suddenly met, he immediately turned his eyes away, bowed his head slightly and saluted us, and then stepped back.

Through the translucent screen, I watched the three of them exit the dormitory. I finally breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt exhausted all over.

It's tiring enough to deal with one Qin Hu, but now two martial arts masters are added to the mix...

"Tell me about you."

A pair of thin little hands patted my cheeks, held my face and turned to him. I quickly lay down obediently and let him lie down.

"Does your butt hurt after sitting for so long?" Without answering his question directly, I naturally put my hand on his waist.

Lin Jingyu did not reject me, and put his face against my chest. His little hands slowly climbed up and slowly drew circles on the pit of my heart.

"Although it hurts a little, it's not my own body. I gritted my teeth and endured it and it passed." He slowly put his hands away, hugging me - or rather, hugging his own body, and said in a steady voice, "

As long as the dragon body is fine, everything is fine."

This guy! He takes good care of his own body! He’s so narcissistic!

I flattened my mouth.

"How did we meet?" He still couldn't help being curious and asked about me.

"The day you get married..."

Memories came flooding back. I smiled and slowly told him what I had experienced. However, I erased the part about possessing Liu Susu, for fear that he would have random thoughts again. I only said that I had been wandering around the palace, everywhere.

When I was playing, I followed the dragon warriors on the Double Ninth Festival. When I saw them being attacked and falling off a cliff, I didn’t think much at the time and rushed directly towards the dragon body. After that——

"When I woke up, I became you again. But, you were gone."

I said with an innocent face.

As a result, the person lying on my chest showed no reaction.

Taking a closer look, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This guy! He obviously wanted to know what I said, but he fell asleep on me!

With a low sigh, I pulled the soft brocade quilt over my body. I stared at the bright yellow tent ceiling, my mind went blank. I subconsciously hugged that slender body tightly with my hands.

After being in a daze for a long time, my mind slowly started to become active, and I couldn't help but think of some puzzling things.

——We clearly shared Jingyue’s body a few days ago, so why couldn’t he return to his dragon body after losing consciousness? Also, on the Double Ninth Festival, I was clearly possessed by Liu Susu and fell off the cliff with the little whale in my arms.

Yes, why did you get into the dragon body when you woke up? Even if Liu Susu’s soul wakes up and squeezes me out, it should be me who enters Jingyue’s body! Why is it Lin Jingyu who is possessed? The most disturbing thing for me

What I can't figure out is - where did Jingyue's soul go?

Now there are four spirits but only three bodies. Could there be another one wandering around?

I couldn't help but shudder, and quickly raised my head to look around.

The place where the candlelight couldn't shine was eerie, as if there was some beast lurking in the darkness, with its black mouth open, and it would pounce out and devour me if there was any movement. I was so frightened that I quickly closed my eyes and thought in my heart.

Immeasurable Buddha suddenly misses the days when there were electric lights.

…lights…

What on earth is this thing? Why do some weird terms always pop up in my mind? There are also those fragments of memories. The fragments are filled with things I have never seen before. Those are like things from another world...

…

Could it be that there is some force blocking us somewhere?

After thinking about it, I fell asleep without even realizing it.

The dark shadow hidden on the beams suddenly jumped down.

The window opened a crack and then closed again. A gust of wind came in through the crack and blew out most of the red candles burning in the room.

Lin Jingyu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes clear and clear.

******

"How is that possible! She is a living being! Her body is not dead! I can definitely guarantee this!"

The side hall of Zhengyang Palace was pitch dark, with no lights lit, but suddenly a slightly higher-pitched voice sounded in the quiet darkness.

Zhou Quan reached out and tapped the noisy and coquettish man's mute point. Qin Murong opened his mouth, but when he found that no sound came out, his face immediately turned red and he glared at him angrily.

"Then - you plan to cast a spell to force her out?" Zhou Quan couldn't help frowning and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that this is very dangerous? If you don't succeed -"

Qin Murong couldn't speak. He was running around in circles in a hurry, pulling hard on his smooth hair. Zhou Quan couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Why are you so stupid? Don't you have practiced internal skills and can transmit sounds into secrets?"

What?"

Qin Murong reached out and patted his forehead, and then he came to his senses.

"What kind of medicine did you give to the emperor - I mean the one with only the empty shell?" Zhou Quan looked solemn.

'...Secret medicine.' Qin Murong hesitated for a while before answering.

"Can't you tell me the ingredients?" Zhou Quan sighed.

"I have already told the imperial physician what to do." Qin Murong's eyes flashed and he avoided answering. Anyway, the imperial physician would naturally prepare the dragon's body according to his own prescription. But what he didn't expect was that the secret medicine was

The poisons were mixed together and produced an extraordinary effect. This was very helpful to my own study...

"It's a good thing that the emperor took this guy's medicine in advance, otherwise it would be troublesome if the poison penetrated into the heart and lungs." Mandrill ducked through the side door and entered quickly.

"The Emperor is resting in peace?"

Mandrill nodded as an answer.

"Today the emperor - I am referring to the dragon body, what he said is not unreasonable." Zhou Quan pondered for a while, and then said: "The murderer originally wanted to poison the emperor, not the emperor. Maybe he really just made the emperor misunderstand

Eat."

"If the poison was only targeted at Jingyue, the scope of suspects would be much narrowed. It would be faster to start the investigation directly from the concubines. However, the ten-day deadline given by the Queen Mother is still a bit tight." Mandrill expressed sympathy for Zhou Quan.

"Those jealous women!" Qin Murong cursed bitterly.

Mandrill saw that he was speechless and sweating while using his internal power to transmit sound, and he couldn't help but smile happily. He had always looked down on this senior brother who only knew other things. Although his master only taught this man with an appearance only internal skills and inner skills.

, however, he, who entered the profession only one day later than him, had to call him senior brother, which always made Mandrill very dissatisfied. So he joked:

"If not, senior brother, sacrifice your appearance and go find out information from all the palace maids? There will definitely be unexpected results!"

Qin Murong's anger rose, and his lips opened and closed, but he could not retort, which made him even more annoyed. Just when he was about to throw something in a rage, Zhou Quan suddenly said "someone" and stopped his movement, and then ducked to the door.

The door was opened slightly, and before the person outside the door could react, Zhou Quan immediately reached out and grabbed the black figure——

empty?
