207. [207] Princess Changning
"This thing has appeared in my nightmares countless times." Duanmu Kaoru looked at the black monster that was still struggling in the net, and with both hands, he tightened the net a little.
The monster seemed to be terrified of the purple light of the net, and when the net tightened, it let out a strange crining sound of bared teeth.
"Wait!" Blue grass prevented Kaoru Duanmu from reeling further, and she noticed that when the black monster touched the purple light, its body would make a "ziz" sound, and black smoke would rise from its body, as if it had been ignited by a fire.
Step by step, she cautiously approached the monster, which sensed danger and bared its teeth at the blue grass.
Bluegrass stretched out her hand, and a blue glow wrapped around the monster's body.
After a while, the monster trembled. The blue light actually pulled out a white ray of light from the monster's body, and the two rays of light staggered, returning to the palm of the blue grass.
"What is this?" Ziyi looked at Lan Cao's palm with some curiosity.
The blue light vanished, leaving a white glow suspended over the palm of the blue grass.
The white light looked warm, making Ziyi involuntarily want to get closer.
"It's Kaoru's memory." Blue Grass frowned, looked at the white light in her hand, and added, "Kaoru about your memory." ”
"How could it be—" Ziyi's eyes widened, could it be that the monster in the net ate Duanmu Kaoru's memory?
"This monster should be the evil spirit that lurked in Kaoru's body in the first place. It's just that it didn't fight Kaoru at that time, so it only devoured part of Kaoru's soul and escaped from the palace. Lan Cao stretched out her hand in front of Duanmu Kaoru: "I think, the reason why I didn't detect that Kaoru's soul was mutilated when I was probing was probably because the gap was blocked by the spiritual power that you once injected into Kaoru's body. ”
Ziyi looked at Lan Cao and blinked, a little bit not quite understanding the meaning of Lan Cao's words.
"If a person's soul is defective and not completed, it will be scattered within three days. And your power is probably to protect Kaoru, so you can complete Kaoru's incomplete soul. Lan Cao pursed her lips, looked at the white light in her hand and said, "Kaoru, this is probably the memory you have always wanted to recover." ”
Because he was in a foreign country, Lancao could no longer call Duanmu Kaoru "emperor", so he followed the mouth of Ziyi and Mu Beichen.
Duanmu Kaoru looked at the white light in Lan Cao's hand, and something seemed to be about to come out of his heart.
The ball of light seemed to feel Duanmu Kaoru as well, and gradually floated from the blue grass's hand to the top of Duanmu Kaoru's head. gradually disappeared in Duanmu Kaoru's body. Duanmu Kaoru closed his eyes slightly, and the scenes in front of him flashed in front of him like a movie.
The first time I saw Ziyi-
The first kiss with the purple cloth-
The first time I went out of the palace with purple clothes-
The scene in front of me is so clear.
"Purple clothes-" When Duanmu Kaoru turned around, he looked at Ziyi with indescribable love in his eyes.
"Y-remember me?" Ziyi's eyes widened, and he still couldn't believe that he had retrieved Duanmu Kaoru's memory so lightly.
Once, she thought that this memory would never be recovered!
She thought that this kind of tenderness could never be experienced again.
"Purple." Duanmu Kaoru hugged the purple clothes in his arms. There was a slight pain in my heart. How could he forget about the purple clothes? Even if he forgets the whole world, he shouldn't forget about Ziyi.
The big hand gently stroked the cheek of the purple cloth, and Duanmu Kaoru's eyes were full of pity.
When the fire burned me, it must have hurt.
Although he would also feel distressed by this before recovering his memory, that pain was far less painful than it is now.
In the days when she needed him the most, he chose to escape.
"Kaoru-" Ziyi once fantasized that if one day Duanmu Kaoru remembered her, she must teach this guy a good lesson and forget about her! She was going to beat him severely, and then tell him all the grievances she had suffered.
But when this day really came so suddenly, Ziyi found that a thousand words were blocked in his chest at this time, and he couldn't say a word, so he could only turn into a soft murmur.
However, it was this choked murmur again, and the enemy country had a thousand words.
"What the hell is going on?" Mu Beichen was disturbed by the sudden scene in front of him, and his head was two big. He really didn't understand how these two guys who had always been good suddenly hugged each other, and said a lot of inexplicable things.
Duanmu Kaoru gently scraped the tip of Ziyi's nose, and couldn't help but be very glad for his decision.
Here, as expected, there is something very, very important for him.
"Is this guy the culprit of the plague?" Ziyi touched the corners of his eyes and looked back at the little black monster that was still in the big net. The little monster had curled up to the size of a palm.
"At least for the time I was in a coma, I was entangled with this guy in my dreams." Duanmu Kaoru's tone was relaxed, but he also said the danger at that time: "Several times, I was almost swallowed by its big mouth. ”
"Which of you is going to sue me for what the hell I am!" Mu Beichen was very dissatisfied that he was here like a blind man.
To be honest, if it weren't for the bloodthirsty monster he had seen with Ziyi in the Shaolin Temple before, he wouldn't believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world now.
Lan Cao walked up to Mu Beichen and said softly, "Lord Wang, I will lend your hand." ”
Mu Beichen stretched out his hand to Lan Cao with some hesitation, and Lan Cao bowed slightly: "Offended." ”
A blue light separated Mu Beichen's hand like a knife, and red blood instantly gushed out from his palm, and the light penetrated into Mu Beichen's body through the wound.
"Hiss-" Mu Beichen gasped, and suddenly only felt a cold breath rushing from the wound into his brain, his eyes gradually blurred, and when it became clear again, he clearly saw the purple net in Duanmu Xun's hand, and the black monster in the net.
"This-" Mu Beichen looked at his hands in disbelief, the wound just now was gone, if it weren't for the bright red blood stains on his palms, he would almost think that the one qi ē just now was just an illusion.
The people in purple clothes told Mu Beichen about the affairs of the Luodu Dynasty little by little, and Mu Beichen suddenly realized: "I said that although I saw that you were also together before, I always felt weird. However, why did this thing come to our Beichen Kingdom? ”
"I don't know about this, but there is another thing that makes me feel even stranger than this question." Zi Yi shook his head gently, rubbed his chin with his little hand and said, "This monster is now in this Lingxiao Palace, why hasn't your imperial brother been infected with the plague?" Why didn't it attack your royal brother? ”
"What do you mean?" Mu Beichen felt something from Ziyi's words, which was something he didn't want to touch. "You suspect someone is manipulating this thing?"
"It's possible." Ziyi smiled at Mu Beichen and said, "Now, I really believe that everything is possible. ”
"So what are we going to do? Kaoru, what are you doing?! Mu Beichen looked at Duanmu Xun, and suddenly found that Duanmu Xun had collected the big net in his hand, and the black monster took the opportunity to rush out of the door and disappeared.
"If we don't let it go, how do we know who its owner is?" Duanmu Kaoru had a smile in the corner of his eyes, which made the purple clothes in his arms look a little stupid for a while.
Her Kaoru is back.
This qiē is like a dream.
"But-" Mu Beichen pointed to the door, a little angry: "What if it harms people again!" ”
"Don't worry, I just hurt it, if someone really controls it secretly, then this guy should be back with the manipulator. It had just been injured, and it was impossible to hurt someone for the time being. Lan Cao comforted Mu Beichen softly, turned to look at Duanmu Xun, and said, "But, Kaoru, this is a matter of Beichen Kingdom, let's interfere, is it really okay?" ”
"Don't worry, Namu Beiming will hand over the matter to Beichen to deal with, we just need to investigate." Duanmu Xunfeng's eyes narrowed slightly. If there is a manipulation behind this evil spirit - then is this manipulator related to the Romans?
Is the plague of the Luodui Dynasty also caused by this person?
This is definitely not just a matter of Beichen Kingdom!
You must know that the Queen Mother was also taken by this evil spirit!
At this time, the dishes on the table were already cold, and Mu Beichen instructed his subordinates to re-serve the dishes on the table.
Ziyi looked at the food on the table and had no appetite, her hand gently resting on her lower abdomen, hesitating to tell her suspicions with Blue Grass about Saoru Duanmu.
If it was Duanmu Kaoru before the memory, Ziyi would definitely not say it.
But now Duanmu Kaoru has remembered that he has become the man who unconditionally doted on her, loved her, and trusted her.
"What's wrong? Under the weather? Duanmu Kaoru remembered that Ziyi's body had been weird in the past few days, and his handsome eyes couldn't help but be stained with a touch of worry.
"It's okay, probably because of the water and soil." Ziyi shook her head lightly and nestled in Duanmu Kaoru's arms.
Until the matter is settled, she still doesn't say anything.
Otherwise, it will not be good to rejoice in the air.
After lunch, Ziyi returned to the accommodation arranged by Mu Beichen and took a nap. When I woke up again, the sun had already set. And there is also news from Lancao and Duanmu Kaoru.
When Ziyi arrived, he saw a festering corpse.
"Who is she?" There was a churning in his stomach, and Ziyi forcibly suppressed the sourness that came up, looked at Mu Beichen and asked.
"It's a palace maid in Princess Changning's palace." Mu Beichen furrowed his brows, the appearance of this palace maid was obviously the same as the death of the person who was killed by the plague before. It's just that according to other palace people, this palace maid is still good in the morning.
It seems that this palace maid went from a high fever to a festering death in just one afternoon.
People in the palace were panicked for a while.
"It looks like this monster is hiding in this temple." Duanmu Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Beichen: "This is Princess Changning's bedroom?" ”
"Yes." Mu Beichen had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to believe that this matter would have something to do with Princess Changning.
Princess Changning is the daughter of Mu Beiming, and she is just sixteen this year. has been married to the son of the prime minister of Beichen Kingdom, and he will be married in October. The age difference between Changning and Mu Beichen is not too much, the two of them can be said to have grown up together, and they can be regarded as people who are relatively close to Mu Beichen in this palace.
Duanmu Kaoru didn't speak again, but carefully supported the purple clothes, bypassed the terrifying corpse, and walked into the inner hall.
No palace maid dared to step forward to stop it, and everyone thought it was a plague - now that people were dead in this Fuyao Palace, it was estimated that their lives would be gone.
The atmosphere in the entire Fuyao Hall was very depressing, and sobbing could be faintly heard.
Lan Cao looked at Mu Beichen who was standing aside, sighed lightly, and followed closely behind Ziyi and Duanmu Xun.
There was an aura in the hall that they were all familiar with—the scent of the black monster.
That's the smell of death.
With depression.
Only those who have experienced it will understand.
Mu Beichen stood outside the Fuyao Hall and hesitated for a long time before finally bypassing the corpse and following Ziyi and the others.
This large hall is large, and there is a garden behind it through the main hall. The garden is full of pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and unknown trees are planted in the garden, blooming with beautiful pink flowers.
Duanmu Xun, Ziyi, and Bluegrass stood in the garden, waiting for Mu Beichen behind him.
"Let's go, this way." Mu Beichen caught up with the three of them, sighed lightly, led the three of them through the garden, walked to a palace door, stepped forward and patted the door gently: "Changning, Uncle Huang has come to see you!" ”
The room was quiet, and Mu Beichen turned around and looked at Duanmu Xun. If it was in the past, this hall would not have been empty, and every time Changning saw him, he would rush over happily.
Duanmu Xun waved his hand lightly, signaling Mu Beichen to dodge, he picked up a few leaves on the ground, and the leaves flew out of the "brush", and he actually scratched a big hole in the window paper on the wooden door.
Suddenly there was a sound of "ping pong" in the hall.
Instantly, something fell to the ground and shattered.
"Changning!" Mu Beichen anxiously broke down the door, however, there was no one in the house except for a set of broken tea sets on the ground.
Caring about a lot, Mu Beichen rushed to the cabinet.
It stands to reason that even if he is Changning's imperial uncle, he should not break into Changning's boudoir.
The room in Changning is very clean, all the objects are neatly placed, and there is nothing unusual to see.
Several people searched the whole temple for a long time, but there was nothing.
"What do you think this is?" Ziyi stared at the bed in this room from the moment he entered the door, and because of the secret passage between the beds in Ziyao Palace, Ziyi thought of this very lightly.
Although Changning's bed was very neat, the bed had the breath of the monster on it.
Ziyi gently tapped on the wood carvings around the bed, and finally found that on the wood carvings, the eyes of the phoenix seemed to be movable.
With a soft snort, her hand pushed the phoenix's eyes hard, and the entire hoarding under the bed suddenly unfolded to both sides, and a dark secret passage appeared in front of everyone.
