Chapter 192: Priesthood of God
Today, Master Nan's state looks much better, but he is still afraid, and when he sees me, he shrinks into a ball again.
"What the hell have you done that can't stand me?" I stood in front of him and asked coldly.
Cheng Jing was right behind me.
And my words are not just asking Master Nan.
"You're so afraid of me, what have you done to be sorry for me."
Otherwise, how could you have avoided me all the time.
I really can't help but mind.
If I could have persuaded myself last night that he just hadn't found the right opportunity yet, then I really don't know how to explain it when I saw Qu Jie hiding behind a tree and peeking at me today, she looked at me like that......
Yuan Jue, what is your relationship with her.
Master Nan hid in a corner and trembled.
"Say!" I was furious and screamed.
Cheng Jing didn't even shudder unconsciously.
Master Nan trembled and looked up at me from between his arms, and again, and again, he became more and more nervous, and the rickety old man slowly made a sound like a sob, and after he repeated it several times, finally, he slowly let go of his hands and feet, and actually knelt in front of me. "Immortals spare their lives, immortals spare their lives......"
"Say." I gritted my teeth.
"Back then, back then...... I really didn't mean to...... I thought you weren't human...... Bah. He realized that he had said the wrong thing and slapped himself in the face, "Back then, I misunderstood you and thought you were a goblin in the mountains, so I took the adults back to the mountains...... I...... I just thought ......"
What happened back then has become the ugly appearance it is now.
I finally understood what had changed in this dream, it was me, it turned out that with my change, with the human nature I knew, it became so ugly.
Or, that in itself is the truth.
His eyes drooped slightly, and he sighed so coldly...... "I'm not here to investigate your matter, I just want to ask you, twenty years ago, King Yu's Palace, Mrs. Ruyi, and your master Jia Da was in charge." β
Master Nan was stunned for a moment, and shook his head desperately, he glanced at Cheng Jing who was standing behind me, and didn't dare to speak.
"Say, if you don't say it, you will die, can you still bring the secret into the coffin?" I heard it in a cold voice, and I was embarrassed to hear it. He will definitely die, his life is certainly life, so many lives in my Shaoshan died overnight, I can't forget it. "It's just a matter of how you want to die."
He knelt in front of me, his head pressed against the ground, his hands clasped, but slowly clenched into fists, trembling uncontrollably. "Immortals...... Immortals ......"
I walked over and sat down.
"Speaking of which, I shouldn't be alive, and these twenty years of living in secretion are enough......" He prostrate on the ground, his body shaking irregularly.
Looks like he was trying to say it.
I saw him slowly raise his head and look at me, "I have done too many sins in my life, I should have known that there would be a real day." I know that even if it weren't for the immortals you came to me, I would be found by the people in the palace sooner or later...... Always, inevitably a ...... of death"
"Is this why you've been pretending to be crazy for so many years?" Cheng Jing can be regarded as understanding.
He turned over to look at Cheng Jing, and acquiesced to Cheng Jing's guess. "When they find me, what I am afraid of is not death, but torture, I know that they must want to get words out of my mouth, in order to get the truth of the past, they will definitely torture me by any means."
"So, what was the truth back then, you know." Cheng Jing seemed to have lost his patience.
Master Nan frowned and bit his mouth tightly.
"Mrs. Ruyi's death back then, but because she knew something she shouldn't know? That's why he was put to death by the king? I asked.
Master Nan panicked, nodded with a stiff mouth, and said, "Yes." β
"You pretended to be crazy and hid for years because you knew something that shouldn't have been known?" I think this matter should not be so simple, the only possibility that can make him afraid of being like this is probably that he not only knows Yuan Jue's life experience, but also discovers the secret between Mrs. Qimo and Yun Chu.
He stared at me, his eyes bloodshot and he knew what I was asking. After a long time, he nodded his head and said, "Yes." β
"On the night of Mrs. Qimo's wedding, the assassin who infiltrated Mrs. Ruyi's palace was Jia Da? Why do they do it? "This is a doubt that has been hidden in my heart for a long time.
"How did you know about this!" Master Nan's reaction suddenly became extremely intense, and he shook his head desperately, "This matter, this matter should not be known by anyone anymore!" β
"But I do know." If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes in his dreams, I wouldn't have known about it, and since I could see it happen in his dreams, I guess Master Nan must have known about it. Now his reaction just confirmed my thoughts, "Why the hell? β
"This thing...... This matter was my master's idea. Mrs. Qimo entered the palace, and the monarch treated Mrs. Ruyi coldly, and seeing Mrs. Ruyi fall out of favor, even our life is not easy...... My master, that is, the chief manager Jia Da, gave Mrs. Ruyi an idea, saying that if something happened in this palace, it could attract the attention of the monarch, and maybe Mrs. Ruyi would have hope to see the monarch again. Mrs. Ruyi, there was no way, so she agreed. My master pretended to be an assassin and broke into Madame Ruyi's dormitory at night, and then I brought in the guards at the right time, and he ran. No one would have guessed that he was pretending, but it was indeed because of this incident that the monarch really remembered Mrs. Ruyi. β
If it weren't for the bad ideas they gave Mrs. Ruyi, she wouldn't have ended up in the situation she was in at all. "Who was the one who came up with the idea to ask Lady Ruyi to find the Warlock?"
"It's also my master, he believed this, so he encouraged Madame to look for it, but I didn't know that Madame would fall deeper and deeper later...... We have admonished Madame about the harm of witchcraft, but Madame, after tasting the sweetness once, actually ...... She also had to tell the king what she had seen. My master didn't stop her, and he knew that he would not escape, he told me a few words, and I begged someone to transfer me to the imperial dining room at that time, who knew that my master would have an accident after that. β
"What did he give you? Did you take it with you when you left the palace? I asked hurriedly.
But Master Nan lowered his head helplessly, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his chest, this move may be abrupt, Cheng Jing glanced at me, and then pretended to be indifferent.
Master Nan pointed to the piece of flesh protruding between the two ribs in the upper abdomen, "I knew I couldn't bring that out, so I secretly hid it here." β
He actually hid what Jia Da gave him under his flesh?!
I struggled to stay awake in shock, and reached for the approximate shape of what was hidden under his skin, but I didn't know what it was.
"Fairy girl......" Master Nan suddenly became sincere. I know that I am guilty of a great sin, and I should not go to the village to talk nonsense about the girl's true identity, so that the adults think that there are really man-eating monsters in the mountains, and I am the one who harmed me...... This thing has been hidden in it for many years, and I also understand that you need it to prove someone's innocence, so I can't live anymore if this thing is taken out, so if the fairy girl has anything else to ask, let's take it out after asking first. β
This is probably the reason why he tried to survive, because Jia Da entrusted him to bring out such a thing, and leave it for many years to wait for us to take it out, so as to prove someone's innocence.
I didn't have anything to ask him, so I looked at Cheng Jing and didn't know if he had anything else to ask.
"What is the reason for the disappearance of one palace person after another in the palace back then?" Cheng Jing asked.
"His Majesty wanted to know who taught Madame Ruyi witchcraft, and he repeatedly traced it, and was afraid that the use of witchcraft by someone in the palace would be publicized, so he killed everyone who knew the inside story." Master Nan said, and then said to me, "Fairy girl, do it, it seems that you don't have anything to know." β
My hand, where it reached to his chest, closed his eyes.
But I was in a quandary.
I've never killed anyone, he's the first.
Cheng Jing watched from the sidelines, and I knew that if I asked him for help, he should be willing to do it for him, but in this way, Master Nan's death would change the meaning of his struggle for so many years. I glanced at Cheng Jing with my head tilted, and he narrowed his concerned gaze a little and said, "I'll go out and wait." β
I finally ......
I was numb when my five fingers dripped blood from the object from his body......
I don't feel like it's my hand anymore......
He remained motionless on his knees in front of me until he died, only this time he lowered his head and never lifted it again.
When I came out of the room, Cheng Jing was waiting outside the door as promised, frightened by the sight of my hand still dripping blood. He took the tray from the maid's hand and held it half in front of me, I glared at him, lifted the hand that had been inserted into Master Nan's chest, and put the jade pendant in his hand on the tray.
I'm in a bad situation right now.
On the verge of collapse......
I didn't care about anything else, but when I stared at Cheng Jing at that moment, I was thinking, no matter who he helped, no matter what they were up to, now I just want to get away with all of this.
The smell of blood drives me crazy, and I almost can't restrain the bloodthirsty ** in my body......
I walked towards the outside of the courtyard and listened to Cheng Jing explain behind me that his subordinates properly dispose of Master Nan's body.
Suddenly, I missed Yuan Jue very much.
The last time I experienced Master Nan's death, it was Yuan Jue who accompanied me, and he also ordered him to do the same, but this time, he was not there, and I knew that he might be here, and I also knew that I could make up all kinds of reasons to excuse him, just like I knew that there was another woman with him now, going through those things that were important to him.
I walked out of Chengfu, but on the steps in front of the door, I saw another person who was also depressed. Jialan sat on the steps with her back to the door, and I first saw her back, walked up and patted her.
On the way back, it was exceptionally quiet.
I didn't speak, she didn't speak, I didn't even have time to care about my own sorrow, I looked at her, but I couldn't do anything. It was not at all surprising that Bilo had such a reaction to his situation at the moment.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and the father-in-law beside Yuan He had been waiting for a long time, and after watching us get off the car, he hurriedly greeted us, "Niyin girl, you can come back." Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time, and let the servants wait here, and will take you there as soon as you return. β
"You go back first." I told Jialan that her mood is also very heavy now, there is no need to bother her anymore, and Yuan Hyuk just wants to know the truth, "Father-in-law, please lead the way." β
I was about to follow him as I spoke, and as soon as I turned around, my feet were weak, and if it weren't for the help of the person on my side, I would have fallen like this.
"It should be that the carriage has been sitting for a long time, and my feet are a little numb." I remembered what Phoenix had said to tell me not to expose my weaknesses in front of people, so after I reacted, I explained to the person who held me.
But when I saw it, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Is Miss Neon alright?" Master Meng greeted with concern on the side.
Phoenix helped me up, "Why are you so careless?" β
"Does the High Priest know the Neon Girl?" Master Meng was very surprised, he didn't expect to meet me by chance at the gate of the palace, let alone that I would almost fall because of my soft feet, but the person he brought into the palace just happened to hold me, and what he absolutely could not have imagined was that the high priest he brought actually knew me.
"I heard earlier that Lord Meng went to great lengths to find the priest for the sake of the sacrificial ceremony, how could I have thought that the person he found was you." Yes, it's the phoenix, who would be fit for the position of high priest? It's not a coincidence, maybe it was Phoenix who arranged it, and she said she would come to me.
"Silly girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, why is she so weak." The phoenix was angry and tapped my forehead, which seemed to be quite heavy, but when it came to my eyes, it became a little lighter.
"High Priest, Your Highness is still waiting, why don't you wait until you meet Your Highness, and then catch up with Miss Niyin?" Master Meng couldn't bear to see us delay any longer, and urged.
But his words happened to provoke the phoenix, and the phoenix looked at him with a pair of dark red eyes.
"It just so happens that I also have something to go to see Your Highness." I turned around and gestured to my father-in-law, who had been waiting by the side just now, and grabbed Phoenix, "Why don't we go together." β
"It's fine." Only then did the phoenix ease up.
"By the way," I thought of Jialan, she was still here, and I looked for her from side to side, but I couldn't see her anymore.
"If the girl is looking for Aunt Jialan, she has already gone back just now." The father-in-law pointed to the other side and replied.
She went back. How fast is the action?!
However, too, one here is Master Meng, who is not compatible with her, and the other is Phoenix, so she naturally slips away faster.
"Who are you looking for?" The phoenix is unknown.
"A friend just went out with me on some errands. It's okay, she wasn't feeling well just now, so I asked her to go back and rest first. "I explained it roughly, and I can only wait for an opportunity to tell SΓΉ Phoenix about Jialan. (To be continued.) )
