Chapter 218: The Secret in the White Tower

Xiao Mingyue took the key from Li Yuanxu's body, and quietly came to the White Tower with Amber and Zhiru.

There were not many guards at night, so a few people took advantage of the gap in the change of guard guards to open the tower door with a key, "Miss, could there be something terrible?" Amber said worriedly.

"Don't scare yourself! There are no ghosts in this world at all, some are just pretending to be ghosts!" Childish said to Amber.

"Don't be afraid! I have a wolf tooth pendant here, which can exorcise evil spirits! Amber, you're behind me!" Xiao Mingyue comforted Amber.

"Don't! Miss, Amber has to protect you!"

After speaking, Amber also mustered up the courage to walk beside Xiao Mingyue with the childish Ru left and right.

This white tower has four floors, and the top of the tower is more than 20 meters high, and several people are holding palace lamps step by step on the stairs.

On the second floor, it's just some party murals and antiques, nothing special.

When I went up to the third floor, I saw that there were several rooms, and if I looked closely, they were just rooms for people to rest.

Slowly came to the top floor, and a few people only felt that the atmosphere had become dull and a little weird.

"Miss!" Amber screamed.

Xiao Mingyue and Zhiru looked at Amber in unison and asked, "What's wrong?!"

"No, it's nothing, I just think it's weird!" Amber finished speaking, and continued to follow the two forward.

Came to the top of the four-story tower, the windows here are all sealed and airtight, although it is the largest space among the floors, but it is also the most gloomy.

I saw a jade table in the middle, with crystal clear flowers in the vase, as if it was like a fairy asleep, "The slave has grown so big, it's the first time I've seen this kind of peculiar flower, like crystal!"

Amber said as she couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"Don't move! It's not an ordinary flower, it's 'crystal blue', its pollen is highly poisonous, but legend has it that it brings the dead back to life!" Childish said.

Frightened, Amber quickly retracted her hand and took a few steps back, far away from the flower.

"Brought back to life?" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but murmur.

"I can't imagine that you can still see this kind of flower here, this flower originally grew in the center of the deep pool, the legend is that there is a beautiful queen after the death, unwilling to be lonely, the soul is transformed into this flower, rare and hard to find." Zhiru explained.

"Even so, it must have something to do with witchcraft!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Miss, here's a portrait of a woman! Look at the dress, like a woman from before! looks like a young lady!" Amber exclaimed.

"Amber! Don't talk nonsense, this is disrespectful to the ancestors!" Xiao Mingyue said angrily.

"Oh! Got it!" Amber nodded in response.

Then I also went over to take a look, an ancient woman from Western Xia, dressed in noble white clothes, but only one side face, and the lower right corner wrote: 'Xia Imperial Princess' and the next few words have been blurred clearly.

"Who is this? Could it have something to do with this witchcraft? Zhiru couldn't help but say.

"Is there anything strange somewhere else?!" Xiao Mingyue asked.

"In the cupboard, I found the white wax of witchcraft, as well as the candlestick, and the silver basin." Childish said.

"Let's see if we can find any other clues. Don't let go of every corner!" Xiao Mingyue said to the two.

"Miss, the slave found a scrap of paper under the foot of the table, but it's only half a word!"

Amber said as she took the scraps of paper to Xiao Mingyue to look at.

When Xiao Mingyue looked at it, she saw a piece of sallow oil paper, which should be the lower left corner of a piece of paper, that is, the end of the content of the article (note: the ancients wrote articles in the order from right to left, from top to bottom), although there was only half a word, Xiao Mingyue could see that it was a "soul" of the word "soul".

"This should be a sacrificial text!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Sacrifice? The wizard still has to write a ritual?!" Amber asked, confused.

"I guess it's someone to pay tribute to! Maybe it's the founder of the Dark Witch Clan and the Protector God or something!" Childish said.

"Makes sense. This place should not be stayed for a long time, if someone finds out it will be troublesome, let's leave quickly!" Xiao Mingyue admonished the two of them, and put the scraps of paper in her sleeves.

So, the three of them hurried out of the White Pagoda again, but fortunately no one bumped into them!

Back in Furong Xuan, Li Yuanxu was still lying on the bed and falling asleep, and Xiao Mingyue was also relieved.

took out the scrap of paper that only had half a word for "魄", sat at the table and thought about the ins and outs of this matter.

Thinking that if Li Yuanxu and the old black witch joined forces and wanted to destroy all countries, why did a portrait of a woman hang on the white tower? Among the black witches, men have the highest status, and there is no reason to worship a woman; And in the history of the party, I have never heard of a goddess who is proficient in witchcraft! So who is the woman in the portrait? To whom is the memorial written? And the 'crystal blue' on the table, what the hell is it for?

Xiao Mingyue lay on the table, and she couldn't hold on to falling asleep until the second half of the night, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep, and when she got up, the two little palace maids had already prepared breakfast, but she was sleeping on the bed, and Li Yuanxu didn't know when she left!

Amber came in and smiled and said, "You two go down first!" I'll groom up for Sister Wu'er!"

"Amber, you slept in the ear room, do you know when Li Yuanxu left?" Xiao Mingyue asked.

Amber shook her head and whispered, "You came back too late last night, you know the slave's sleep!" Thunder can't move when you're asleep!"

"Did he leave early?" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but think in her heart.

While the two were talking, a eunuch came to report and said, "The king has an order, saying that Miss Wu'er will go to the racecourse to watch the horse race after dinner!"

"Got it." Xiao Mingyue said.

"Watch the horse races! What kind of reputation is this party king? Amber couldn't help but say.

"It's not a 'Hongmen Banquet'." Xiao Mingyue said.

"Hongmen Banquet? No way? Did the king of the party find out that the young lady stunned him? Do you want to avenge yourself? Amber said.

Thinking that if Li Yuanxu was really angry with himself, he shouldn't have carried himself to the bed, right? Instead, let yourself be full of food, groomed and dressed to accompany her on horseback? There is no reason to treat the 'enemy' in this way.

But when she arrived at the racecourse, Xiao Mingyue knew that although this was not a Hongmen banquet, it was almost the same as the Hongmen banquet, if there were nobles from the party, the princes, kings and grandchildren were all present, and Zi Ji who wanted to strangle herself!

I can't help but sigh in my heart, "In the end, my daughter's family still has a better maiden background, or she is a little famous." Otherwise, like himself, now he can only borrow the identity of this witch Wu'er, and everyone will not look at themselves in their eyes, and they all want to see their own jokes, even Li Yuanxu doesn't know what to think? Maybe he was like these horses, just one of his things.

But no matter what difficulties he has, he has to use Wu'er as an identity to overcome them, and finding out the truth and stopping the conspiracy is his first priority.

"Miss Wu'er, the king asked you to come and sit beside him!" An attendant beside Li Yuanxu came over and said.

"Got it." Xiao Mingyue replied.

He followed Li Yuanxu's meaning and sat on the seat on Li Yuanxu's right.

Li Yuanxu turned his head and smiled at Xiao Mingyue, but did not speak.

It was Zi Ji on the left, who couldn't wait to swallow Xiao Mingyue alive with that look.

Xiao Mingyue simply didn't look at her, thinking 'out of sight and out of mind', she didn't come to compete with her for favor, although she didn't know, but even if she showed favor to her, it would be regarded as a demonstration.

"Fifty fine horses are waiting for you, my lord!" A tall squire ran over and said.

"Let's pick first! It's good to be the last one in this king!" Li Yuanxu said.

Then he asked Xiao Mingyue beside him, "Does Wu'er know how to ride a horse?" "

Xiao Mingyue wanted to refuse, but thinking that she had to get closer to Li Yuanxu to have more chances, and when she was in conflict, Zi Ji said coldly: "How can a witch from the countryside ride a horse?" In addition to looking more standard and looking like the princess, she is just a mediocre person, and the king shouldn't bother with such a woman!"

"Shut up!" Li Yuanxu scolded.

Zi Ji hurriedly got up and lowered her head and said to Li Yuanxu: "The concubine should die!" Don't mention people you shouldn't mention!"

"Don't take it as an example!" Li Yuanxu said.

"The Great Princess? Seems to be a key figure!" Xiao Mingyue thought in her heart.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to ride a horse, look at your outfit today, it's also light, this king will teach you!" Li Yuanxu then said to Xiao Mingyue.

"Thank you, King!" Xiao Mingyue said with a smile.
