Chapter II: Premeditation

Cloud Leaf City. Kirin Palace.

Qilin Palace, and the Dragon Palace, the Phoenix Palace is known as the "Three Palaces" by the world, is the status second only to the Imperial Palace, the strength of the force, whether in the rivers and lakes or the imperial court, the "Three Palaces" make the listeners all moved.

can become the palace master, his quality is excellent, and he can even be on par with the prince.

Inside the palace, the vast courtyard, the beautiful palace, the momentum is magnificent.

The dark gray stone floor carries the vicissitudes of the history of the Qilin Palace.

The palace master Jin Song died suddenly, and he owned half of the country during his lifetime. According to his last wishes, his only granddaughter, Jin Jiao, who is only ten years old, will become the head of the first house.

In the harsh winter, the biting cold wind blew, Jin Jiao wrapped her arms around her young body and sighed: "It's so cold." ”

Jin Jiao ran into her room, her hands clutching her clothes, and her mind came to mind the scene when her grandfather was buried a few days ago, and her finger joints were white from excessive exertion.

This delicate-looking girl had a sad face, and her whole body trembled slightly from suppressed crying, and she did not have the demeanor of a descendant of the palace master at all.

Is the burden of the heir of the palace master of the Qilin Palace too heavy on such a ten-year-old girl?

The succession was not smooth, after all, Jin Jiao was only a ten-year-old child. There was gossip in the Qilin Palace, and there was an uproar.

"I actually let that little girl be the new palace master......"

"But this is the former palace master's dying will."

"If it weren't for their blood relationship......

There was chaos in the palace, and some people were waiting for an opportunity to make trouble and want to usurp the throne. Especially Si Kou Yunchou and Si Kou Haisi, the two sisters and brothers, as well as the maid Nie Yu, who originally served Jin Jiao, all turned against Jin Jiao and against her. They have served in the Qilin Palace for many years, and they have always belonged to the flow of evil forces, and the deceptive words of the Si Kou sisters and brothers, coupled with Miss Nie's performance of pretending to be weak and pitiful, and adding fuel and vinegar to the rumors, it is easy to besiege Jin Jiao and put this little girl in a disadvantageous position.

On the day of his grandfather's burial, he was buried in the same cemetery as Jin Jiao's parents.

According to Jin Song's last wishes, there was no funeral that filled the city. Jin Jiao saw him buried in the ground and set up a tomb. In the cemetery where her parents and grandfather were buried, she stood for an unknown number of hours, and was finally brought back to her room by the maid Cuijing.

Today's Jin Jiao, although her identity as a descendant of the palace master is unshakable, and she is still the heir recognized by most people in the palace, but the Si Kou sisters and sisters and Miss Nie also have a certain influence in the palace. In the face of dark forces, Jin Jiao is too young and pure-hearted, and she is no match for the wicked and treacherous, there is no doubt that Jin Jiao has now become the target of their murder.

The malicious rumors about Jin Jiao spread quickly, and Jin Jiao was slandered and wronged by the Si Kou sisters and brothers, which took root in her young heart.

Ten-year-old Jin Jiao tried hard to control her emotions and didn't want anyone to see her sad and crying. She looked at her grandfather's relics in her hands. It was a neck ring, on which were two blue jade and two large red beads of different sizes, shining with a mysterious brilliance.

Gillian got up and came to the window, looking at the junction of heaven and water, the lake was sparkling, and the blood-colored remnants were melancholy, making people forget the passage of time, but they couldn't wash away the sadness in their hearts.

"Ahem...... Wear it at my grave......" she recalls her grandfather whispering in her ear.

"Grandpa," she whispered, looking down at the jewel neck ring in her hand, "what kind of puzzle did you give Gillian about?" ”

It was pointless to think about it, Jin Jiao directly put on the neck ring. The neck looked heavier than the previous one, sucking in the heat from the skin, and there was a burst of coldness. The jewels that adorned her reflected a cold light, giving her a sense of foreboding.

When night falls, in the quiet bedroom, the quiet moonlight shines on the ground. Gillian was lying alone on the bed, and drowsiness hit.

She didn't know that behind the screen in the room, a figure was hiding. The man could be within five steps of Jin Jiao's bed.

In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow appeared in front of her eyes, and the moment he raised his hand—

"What man!?" Jin Jiao exclaimed, and there was a pain in her chest!

She fixed her eyes in the darkness to see a masked man with a short knife, the blade of which glowed coldly in the moonlight—stained with her own blood.

Gillian was so frightened that she reflexively got up, pushed the man in black away, and ran out of the room in a hurry.

Gillian ran instinctively, in the dark night, by the moonlight, just running.

She wanted to call someone for help, but she was afraid that there were accomplices of the man in black in the palace, and if she found out that she was not dead, she would come to make up for herself.

What's more, I was bleeding nonstop, I was too frightened, and it was difficult to even speak out, and it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to flee in a hurry!

Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and there were torrential showers, and it was a night of thunderstorms that the heavens did not appreciate.

The torrential rain poured down, pouring abundantly, soaking everything in an instant.

Inadvertently, I have arrived at the cemetery. Facing her grandfather's tombstone, Jin Jiao couldn't help but stop.

The two red beads on the neck ring began to shine brightly!

Grandpa's tombstone suddenly burst out of a dark cloud and black fog-

"From now on, you are my host." There was no entity, but a heavy, terrifying male voice was heard!

Accompanied by the male voice mixed with pain and despair, Jin Jiao only felt that the neck ring tightened, and the two red beads became hotter and hotter, unable to make a sound.

Demon?

A black mist swirled around him, enveloping him. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her forehead. It's the kind of stiffness that can numb the whole mind. The red beads were already unbearably hot, and the neck ring was suffocating at the same moment!

The black fog soon disappeared. Jin Jiao could feel the blood gathering on her forehead, and the blood was boiling.

"Could it be...... The magic ...... on my grandfather in the past Think of me as a new host? Jin Jiao felt the neck ring tightly strangled her delicate neck, still very hot, "Now I really have a demon sealed in my body?" This...... This neck ring is my talisman? ”

"Oath with soul, wait with life." A familiar voice rang in my ears.

She now finally understood the meaning of her grandfather's words when he was alive.

Jin Jiao's blood was red-hot and surging in her body without stopping. It turns out that there is a demon in me. I don't dare to think about this kind of thing, and I don't dare to think deeply.

Thunderstormy nights, boundless darkness.

Grandpa died, he was stabbed, possessed by demons, and so much happened, and the defense in his heart collapsed. Gillian's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, and tears flowed freely, but fortunately there was rain to cover it.

Suddenly, thunder hit the bottom of her heart, Gillian screamed, and her body shrank into a ball. The thunder roared, and she felt her bones tremble.

The red beads on Jin Jiao's neck ring began to emit a ghostly light.

Jin Jiao felt that her body was weak and her consciousness was confused, her surroundings were pitch black, the torrential rain roared wantonly on the earth, and her demonic nature was about to move in her body.

A sudden pain struck, her head seemed to crack, and the uncontrollable pain caused her to fall to the ground, her eyes glazed and her vision blurred, and she felt like she was about to lose consciousness. Her ears were buzzing, she couldn't hear the rain, only the erratic ghostly cry of the seal in her body, and her hands trembled involuntarily, completely uncontrollable.

The torrential rain was falling wildly despite Jin Jiao's mood, and her whole body was soaked by the rain.

The discomfort of the demon wandering in the body, the auditory hallucinations instigated by the male voice, loomed and lingered.

"If the assassin wants to kill him, my existence must be a hidden danger, because I will inevitably become a new host, a new palace master......" Gillian's consciousness was chaotic, and her brain was so numb that she could no longer think about it.

"Grandpa, he may know that this is dangerous......"

There was a feeling of pressure in my chest, and my breathing began to be a little unsmooth. It was a feeling that the whole mind was captured, which made Gillian faintly afraid.

The rain was heavy and rapid, and she fell to the ground, her clothes soaked through the rain and stained with mud. She was bleeding profusely, her whole body was cold, her headaches were splitting, her brain was overrun by fear, and her heart was a mixture of confusion, anxiety, and worry......

The rain fell heavily all night, and it became more and more intense, and it did not stop until dawn.

The next morning, there was an exclamation in Jin Jiao's boudoir. It turned out to be Cuijing and Cuiqiong, two little palace maids, who found a bed and bloodstains all over the ground, but they didn't see Jin Jiao's figure, and their faces were as frightened as earth.

The bloodstains left by the night on the road were washed away by the pouring rain. Two anxious palace maids shouted Jin Jiao's name while searching for her whereabouts. When Cuijing and Cuiqiong finally found Jin Jiao in the cemetery, she was covered in blood and unconscious, and the two palace maids were so frightened that they thought Jin Jiao was dead.

However, the lonely young Jin Jiao escaped death and survived tenaciously.
