Chapter 15: Conjuring Spirits, Exploring the Ruined Temple at Night
The token that Li Zhan gave Tang Ning was very useful, at least he could eat a meal without poison.
In addition to the people in the imperial dining room, there are also many palace concubines who send people to loosen some things. Of course, if these things were not sprinkled with poison-attracting insect powder, Downing would have preferred it a little.
However, after all, the wicked will have evil retribution, and on the second day, many palace concubines were allergic to pollen, their whole bodies were itchy, and their faces were peeling. What's more, he talks nonsense, spits out all the bad things he has done to people, and completely looks like a fairy possession.
At this time, the Northern Qi Emperor was sending people to strictly investigate the harem, and the palace concubines in question were soon dealt with publicly when the human and material evidence was complete.
In the palace where Tang Ning and Li Zhan lived, people in black with their faces covered and bitten by poison were often found at night. When they were found, most of them were anesthetized with poison and could not move their whole bodies, so they could only be slaughtered.
"That's it?" Li Zhan looked at the records reported by the secret guards, thought for a moment and said.
"Yes. Everything that Concubine Tang did with tokens was marked with labels, and what was not marked was Concubine Tang's daily behavior. "The secret guard report that Li Zhan saw at this time was the record of the use of the Tangning token.
"Push the eldest prince tighter and let him show his feet quickly. This time the emperor was furious, this is the best time to bring down the old lady, send a letter to Concubine Xi's father, if he wants to live, he will immediately turn against him, otherwise, don't blame the king for being ruthless. Li Zhan was a little violent when he said this, he dared to cut the magnolia flower planted by his mother, he wanted to cut off that person's head!
"Find something to do for Ouyang Xun, don't let him wander around the palace idle during the day."
Li Zhan explained something like a secret guard again, and then closed his eyes and lay back on the bed.
At this time, Ouyang Xun, who was considered by Li Zhan to be an "idler", was sighing at Tang Ning.
"You're the first woman who can still run away from God when I'm talking?" Ouyang Xun looked at Tang Ning, who didn't know where he had gone, and was a little helpless.
"Flower ...... of the Imperial Garden It's a good drive. Tang Ning looked at the flowers in the distance and said incomprehensibly.
In the face of Ouyang Xun's friendly invitation, Tang Ning would also come out for a walk.
However, Tang Ning is also a measured person, she is now the concubine of King Li after all, and she is always far away from Ouyang Xun. When I am with him, I am always silent.
"The things are still here, no matter what Ouyang Gongzi does, it has nothing to do with me. Right now...... It's time for me to go back. Tang Ning didn't wait for Ouyang Xun to speak, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Ning'er, why are you so rusty!" Ouyang Xun looked at Tang Ning, and there was something very strange in his eyes.
"Ouyang Gongzi, please respect yourself." Seeing him like this, Tang Ning suddenly threw off his sleeves.
"Ning'er ......"
"This shouldn't be what Ouyang Gongzi can call."
Tang Ning's words made Ouyang Xun directly stunned. His face changed several times before he returned to his original appearance.
"Ning'er, I just want to tell you that as long as you need me, I will stand by your side. You...... Not alone. When Ouyang Xun said this, his tone was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Thank you." After listening to this, Tang Ning turned around and left without any expression.
However, Ouyang Xun's words kept repeating in her mind.
You, not alone.
Because, I'm there for you.
In fact, as long as you hear someone say this, your heart will be very comfortable. If you believe, you will only increase your troubles.
When Tang Ning returned from the imperial garden, he met a few palace concubines, I don't know if it was her illusion or something else, these palace concubines looked at her very strangely, even the older people in the palace looked at her with a deep shock.
Although Tang Ning did something with the token given by Li Zhan, she had never checked anything similar to her face, because ...... She knew where Li Zhan's bottom line was.
What is the relationship between a woman who has lived in the palace and Li Zhan?
What did Li Zhan take her with him for?
Where is the source of all hatred?
To Tangning's surprise, soon, she knew who the woman was.
However, everything was much worse than she expected.
After using Ouyang Xun, he didn't give this person a good face at all, Tang Ning thought that Ouyang Xun would not come to her again, but he didn't expect that at night, Ouyang Xun would appear by her window again.
"Follow me." Ouyang Xun didn't give Tang Ning time to refuse, pulled her in his arms, and was taken out as soon as he performed his light skills.
Li Zhan stood in the depths of the night, staring at the two people who were going away against the wind, with an inexplicable expression.
"Lord Wang, do you want to be a subordinate......" The secret guard in the dark saw Li Zhan full of murderous intent and appeared behind Li Zhan.
"You don't have to follow, I believe Ouyang will be able to handle this matter." Li Zhan spoke a little stiffly at this time, and his tone was very tough and revealed a little cold.
"I believe him." Which one is him, Li Zhan did not explain. It's just that since Tang Ning was taken away by Ouyang Xun, he began to look at the dark night outside the window in a daze.
There were a few lonely lamps in the night, dim and dim.
Ouyang Xun's body had a faint fragrance of grass, and when he was hugged by Ouyang Xun, the word "dating" popped up in Tang Ning's mind, this state of mind made Tang Ning's whole body stiff, and then quickly returned to its original state.
Tang Ning turned his face to look at Ouyang Xun, putting aside this person's rogue and demonic temperament, he was really like Chu Shaoyang, but he was not after all.
The same face, but not the same heart.
"Ouyang Xun, where are you taking me?" Tang Ning's voice was a little complaining, she was now Li Zhan's concubine, and she still had to abide by the corresponding rules where the imperial power could restrain her.
"You'll know when you arrive."
"Let go of me, I'm coming down!" If it weren't for the fear of struggling too much and falling down, and being found with Ouyang Xun at night, Tang Ning would have pricked the poisonous needle into Ouyang Xun's neck.
"Good, don't move, let me hug you." Ouyang Xun's voice was very soft, with a faint attachment, which had a very soothing effect.
Tang Ning didn't know martial arts, so he naturally didn't know that Ouyang Xun had just used the art of sound photography.
However, she really didn't move or speak obediently.
Looking at Ouyang Xun's side face, it was so similar that Tang Ning really couldn't do anything hurtful to that face.
The night breeze said, with a faint fragrance of flowers, except for a few halls in the center of the palace, everyone was black.
The two of them walked unscrupulously in the palace like this, Tang Ning was hugged by Ouyang Xun, and in order to balance, he had to hug him back, which made Ouyang Xun hold her tightly.
"It would be nice if it kept going like this."
"Huh?"
Tang Ning seemed to hear Ouyang Xun's dream-like whisper, but when she raised her head, she was seen that Ouyang Xun's expression had changed, and she still looked like she wanted people to step on him.
"Here we are." Soon, Ouyang Xun took Tang Ning to a pavilion, but the hand on Tang Ning's waist did not open.
"Ouyang Xun, have you hugged enough!" After Tang Ning came to his senses, he immediately struggled out of Ouyang Xun's arms and kicked him hard by the way.
"Ah, like a little wild cat with a dancer's paws." Tang Ning's strength was delicate, and Ouyang Xun didn't dodge it and let her beat it. It's just that I couldn't help frowning afterwards.
"I'm a little wild cat, you're a flower fox!" Ouyang Xun said this, and Tang Ning immediately refuted.
It's just that when Tang Ning retorted, he didn't forget to check the surrounding situation. Make sure there's no one around, so you can stand firm.
"I'm a flower fox who likes to eat little wild cats." Ouyang Xun said, then turned around and pulled Tang Ning to the pavilion.
Ouyang Xun's movements were very casual, but Tang Ning stroked his hand, no matter whether she had a good impression of Ouyang Xun or not, she was now Li Zhan's concubine, and Tang Ning subconsciously didn't want to do anything too out of line.
"Why don't you go?" Ouyang Xun walked forward, and when he saw that Tang Ning hadn't followed, he frowned and turned back.
Under the moonlight, Ouyang Xun, who was dressed in white, was handsome and unreal, like an elf in the moonlight. The eyebrows are gorgeous, the clothes are windy, and the eyes are affectionate.
"Purpose. Why did you bring me here. "Anything must be done with a purpose, and Downing doesn't want to waste his energy doing anything useless.
"What if I say...... Here you have what you want most, do you believe it? Ouyang Xun spoke in a very soft voice, he raised his eyebrows when he spoke, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked very pure.
"Do you know what I want most?"
"If you can make the young master of the Tang family stay in King Li's Mansion willingly, isn't it for the treasure of the town clan."
"Am I so obvious?"
"Now...... Would you like to come along? ”
"Conditions?"
"Not yet."
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief."
"If the girl is willing to have a spring breeze with me, it will be the best."
"If the time comes, you have this life!" The silver needle in Tang Ning's hand flashed, and the meaning was self-evident.
Ouyang Xun smiled noncommittally and walked forward with Tang Ning.
One after the other, the figures of the two people melted into the moonlight, and they were very harmonious in the haze.
I pushed the door straight in, and dust fell. Ouyang Xun is protected from the inside, so he is naturally not afraid of this, Tang Ning can only go in after the dust has settled.
"We're on a business trip?" After Tang Ning entered, Ouyang Xun had already lit a row of lights in the main hall, and the inside suddenly lit up, which was very anti-guest-oriented.
"The Northern Qi Emperor has always wanted me to summon the spirits of the concubines who have lived, and it is naturally okay for me to come and walk around in the middle of the night." When Ouyang Xun spoke, he looked like a privileged class.
"Martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medical skills, and now they will summon spirits. Ouyang Xun, is there anything you won't have? Although it was a sigh, Downing's speech was somewhat like a joke.
"Yes, for example, to have a child, I can't do this alone." When Ouyang Xun spoke, his eyes looked straight at Tang Ning, as if to say, you give birth to me, you give birth to me.
"Ouyang Gongzi is famous, and he really deserves his name." Regarding Ouyang Xun's teasing, Tang Ning was very calm.
"That's because I haven't met Miss Tang before."
"If you had met me earlier, you would have become a eunuch directly."
"Xiao Ning'er is so ruthless, she doesn't pity the fragrance at all." Ouyang Xun made an aggrieved expression with a peerless demeanor, which made Tang Ning laugh all of a sudden.
Really...... It's a demon.
