Zhou Rao Imperial Palace.

Several palace maids gathered around each other, and following their gazes, they could see a majestic man standing on the shore of Shangrao Lake, wearing a dark red embroidered gold robe, with an extraordinary temperament.

Although the palace ladies were already quite familiar with this man, they still couldn't control their eyes and were always attracted to him.

Since Princess Yinghua married to Zhou Raoguo, this prince has claimed to be the princess's brother, and he went to the palace with the princess, and spent most of his time with Princess Yinghua. Although there is something wrong with this matter, it is strange that the prince of Yanqi did not object. The people in the palace guessed that Beidi was a big country after all, and Yinghua, as the only princess of Beidi, was suddenly thousands of miles away from home, and there would always be reluctance, and it was reasonable for her brother to accompany her for a few days.

At this time, Changqin was standing on the shore of the lake, although he was admiring the lake and mountains on the surface, and he also understood that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him around, envious and curious, but he was calm in his heart, and there were deep doubts.

Ye Shu asked him to take the puppet Yinghua out of the palace, what did he want to do? Do you really want to do something to the puppet Yinghua?

In this month, he is nominally Yinghua's brother and accompanies Yinghua, but in fact, he wants to start from the puppet Yinghua and lure out the people behind the manipulation of her. Strangely, the man was slow to show up, and he had no contact with the puppet Yinghua.

The puppet Yinghua is more like a tool without life and thought, and he, as the god of music, cannot make her manifest herself.

Changqin frowned, it's been a month, and Yinghua is still safe and sound, right?

At this time, his maidservant Ah Luan stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, and Changqin was shocked when he heard it.

"Where are the people?"

"Plum Time Inn."

"Get out of the palace now," Changqin strode down the steps, "by the way, you take Yinghua to meet Yeshu first, and I'll come later." ”

Ah Luan answered, and his eyebrows were full of sorrow.

Although Yu Qi had ordered that Princess Yinghua should not be allowed to leave the palace, under Changqin's spell, the puppet Yinghua was still smuggled out of the palace by them.

Three Trees Inn.

Ye Shu glanced at the trembling puppet Yinghua, and asked Ah Luan casually: "Do you know what danger Qingdai has?" ”

Ah Luan shook his head, "I saw a letter from someone who placed it when I was tidying up the study, and the letter said to go to the Meishi Inn quickly, Qingdai is in crisis. You know, when it comes to Qing Dai, even if it's a trap, Childe won't take it lightly. ”

Ye Shu turned his head and looked down at the puppet Yinghua: "I know that you are also used by others, but the situation at this time no longer allows you to continue to play Yinghua." As he spoke, he raised his hands and slowly pressed them to the top of the puppet Yinghua's head.

"Wait a minute." At this moment, Jiu Li hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Shu's sleeve.

Ye Shu looked at her with a slight frown.

"Won't this hurt Yinghua..."Jiuli said, then she took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ye Shu, the paper was densely written.

Ye Shu glanced at the piece of paper, and finally put down his hand.

Suddenly, he glanced out, gestured to Xue Chen, and almost in the flash of light, Xue Chen had already flown out, and in a few moments a person was pulled out of the bushes outside.

"Plop~" Xuechen threw the man to the ground.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the man's face, because the man was the blind man Hongyi who was following Qing Dai. I think he was there just now when they decided what to do with the puppet Yinghua, but why did he eavesdrop?

Xuechen also panicked for a moment after seeing that it was Hong Yi, afraid that the force just now was too great, she stretched out her hand to help Hong Yi up, and asked puzzledly: "Blind man, what are you doing sneakily here?" ”

Jiuli also stepped forward and asked, "Yes, what about Qingdai and Changqin?" Didn't I come back with you? ”

However, Hong Yi seemed to be a different person, and did not answer everyone's questions.

When everyone was paying attention to Hong Yi, only the puppet Yinghua looked at Hong Yi with a frightened face, and she slowly retreated to escape from here.

Hong Yi bent down and patted the soil on his body, and no one saw the corners of his mouth curl evilly, and the cruelty flashed in his eyes. The moment Hong Yi got up, he took out a string of crackling firecrackers out of nowhere with his left hand and threw it at everyone, and with his right hand, he took out a bright thing from his sleeve and stabbed it straight at Jiu Li, who was closest to him.

This change happened too suddenly, Jiu Li looked at the knife that was coming at him, and was surprised that he forgot to dodge, but fortunately, Ye Shu's eyes around him were quick, and he protected Jiu Li with both hands and threw himself to the side. However, Hong Yi was clearly just a flicker just now, and with a twist of his blade, he stabbed straight at the real target, the puppet Yinghua, who had retreated behind everyone.

The others all subconsciously took several steps back when Hong Yi was still firecrackers at them, and now it was too late to save the puppet Yinghua, and everyone watched as Hong Yi's knife stabbed through the puppet Yinghua's chest.

"Thorn-"

He pulled out the knife fiercely, threw it back, and the whole person staggered to the ground, his face pale.

Fake Yinghua looked down in disbelief as a huge black hole appeared on his chest, and the black hole seemed to be able to spread when it met air, constantly expanding. To everyone's surprise, there was no blood on the knife or on her chest.

Fake Yinghua finally looked up at Hong Yi, and her whole body collapsed.

With a puff of smoke, everyone saw that the fake Yinghua had disappeared, and an object appeared on the ground where she had just fallen.

Jiu Li pounced and picked up the object, and glanced at the back with a solemn expression.

It was a piece of wood. To be exact, a humanoid puppet with a crack in its chest.

"This is a puppet carved in the image of Yinghua." Ah Luan glanced at the puppet and exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's Feng Zhi." Jiu Li's face was pale.

At first glance, the puppet looks exactly the same as Yinghua, but if you look closely, you can see that its dress and expression are not like Yinghua, but very similar to another woman she had seen in the illusion, the yellow bird Fengzhi.

Jiu Li and Ye Shu looked at each other, and almost at the same moment, the two of them turned their heads to look at Hong Yi, the initiator of Fang Cai.

"He's hurt!" The others apparently also noticed Hong Yi who was sitting on the ground, and for some reason, he looked like he was dying.

Jiu Li clutched the puppet tightly, and when she turned the puppet around, she found that the puppet's back was engraved with two big characters, "Hongyi".

The sun was shining in the spring, but her hands were cold.

Hong Yi was panting and sweating profusely, as if he was suffering a great deal of pain. His robe and hands were covered in blood, and blood was still pouring out of his chest. He waved his arms and couldn't speak because of the damage to his vocal cords, just screaming "ahhhhhh His two unfocused eyes looked around helplessly, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, not knowing where he was or why he was injured.

Ye Shu hurriedly ordered a few of Hong Yi's big holes to help him stop the bleeding, and then lowered his head to examine his wounds, shook his head halfway, and said softly: "Voodoo." ”

A bloody hole appeared in Hong Yi's chest, exactly the same location as the rift on the puppet.
