Chapter 296: Shortbread

When Xiao Maruko, who was hiding outside the secret passage, heard it, the whole person was stunned, Daddy...... Will it die?

Holding back tears, he turned and walked out.

Qin Ying sensed the movement outside and turned his head; "Who?"

Haoyue went out to look, but did not see a human figure; "No one."

Qin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the disappearing scroll on the wall, he took a cool breath and said in a cold tone; "Somebody came in."

After all, some words were heard, and Qin Ying now asked Lianying to investigate this matter.

"Stealing the portrait of the Red Lotus Ghost Mother?" Jiang Chuge was stunned, how could he go into the dark room to steal the portrait?

"The national teacher can't understand it, if it's really a thief outside, how can he know where the dark room is, not to mention, the valuable things in the prince's house are all there, but the painting is missing, and it's really incomprehensible to steal only one painting."

Jiang Chuge was puzzled, knowing the people in the dark room, was it Yi Xing who was shadowing with her or that there were no outsiders outside Haoyue, could it be the people in the house, but who was so bold in the house, no, just stealing a painting, what was there to care about.

She looked at Haoyue, saw that Haoyue seemed to have something on her mind, and asked; "I don't think it's just stealing paintings, right?"

Haoyue was stunned and spoke instantly; "It's not as simple as stealing a painting, so what?"

"It's just a painting, if you steal it, you steal it, Qin Ying doesn't look like a person who will be nervous about a painting, unless the thief has done something else or seen something......"

Seeing that Jiang Chuge's brain was spinning faster than anyone else, he was afraid that she would guess, so he interrupted with a smile; "It's just a painting, but it's also a painting left by his mother."

"I'm going to ask Qin Ying!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chuge walked over.

Haoyue shook her head, saying that sooner or later she would know, so what's the use of concealing it?

Jiang Chuge walked into the house and saw that Qin Ying seemed to be worried about something, and even someone as keen as him didn't notice her coming in.

It wasn't until he saw a figure blocking himself that Qin Ying came back to his senses and raised his eyes.

"I was stolen from a painting, and I let you do this?"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ No. Qin Ying avoided her gaze a little and wanted to get up and leave.

Jiang Chuge stretched out his hand to stop him, Qin Ying lowered his eyes and frowned.

"Qin Ying, I always think you have something on your mind."

"Nope."

"You have, you don't dare to look at me." Jiang Chuge walked in front of him, did he have something on his mind that she wouldn't be able to see?

Qin Ying slowly raised her eyes to meet her gaze, and there was a hint of sadness in her pale eyes; "Dol, this king......"

Jiang Chuge approached him and spoke domineeringly; "If you won't say it, I'll see with my eyes."

Qin Ying hugged her into her arms in distress, as if she couldn't hold her anymore.

"This king just doesn't know how to say it, don't look for the Red Lotus Ghost Mother anymore."

Jiang Chuge seemed to understand something, and his eyes were dark; "So you're trying to abandon me and Maruko?"

Qin Ying was stunned, let go of her and looked directly at her; "No, this king has never thought of it that way......"

"Then you want to give up?"

"This King ......"

Jiang Chuge lowered his head and said lightly; "If you say you won't look for me, won't you? If I can't find it, I'll believe the rumors, and I'll go and find eternal life, so that you can live a little longer and watch me and my son die of old age. โ€

"Dor, you...... The king's days are numbered. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Jiang Chuge thought of the words of the person in the illusion, it turned out that this was not a lie.

"I'm sorry, maybe this king shouldn't have said that to you, but this king doesn't want you to waste your time on this king anymore, this king doesn't regret having a pill with you, he is our only son, even if this king can't accompany you in the future, and he ...... Not. โ€

Jiang Chuge stood on tiptoe and blocked his lips, and after Qin Ying was slightly stunned, he raised his hand to palm the back of her head and responded deeply.

After a long separation, Jiang Chuge grabbed his shirt; "You don't want to leave me and the balls."

"Maruko, why did you end up there?" Jiang Chuge looked at him.

"It was the little red lotus who took me there, mother, the little red lotus is the ghost mother of the red lotus, exactly the same as in the painting!" Maruko said seriously.

Jiang Chuge was stunned, puzzled; "How can the little red lotus be the Red Lotus Ghost Mother, it's so small, the Red Lotus Ghost Mother is very big."

"It's going to change, mother, I didn't lie, that night it was Little Red Lotus who took me to find my mother to kiss you, it became very big, exactly the same as in the painting, it took me to fly, Maruko really didn't lie, I don't believe you asked Little Red Lotus!"

Maruko pulled her into the room, and the painting on his desk was indeed a portrait of the Red Lotus Ghost Mother.

"Little Honglian, come out quickly, where are you, come out and save my father!" Xiao Maruko shouted around, he remembered that Xiao Honglian was obviously with him.

Jiang Chuge pondered something, the little guy is the Red Lotus Ghost Mother? I've been following her for a few years, and she doesn't even notice it.

If it was really the Red Lotus Ghost Mother, it would have been three years ago......

After being rescued from the fire, he saw Little Red Lotus accompanying him, could it be that Little Red Lotus saved him?

"Mother, tell the little red lotus to come out, it was still there just now." Xiao Maruki couldn't shout at it, and anxiously pulled the corner of Jiang Chuge's skirt, Jiang Chuge was busy comforting; "Okay, okay, my mother is going to find it, don't worry."

Jiang Chuge comforted Xiao Maruko and walked out of the house, she never knew the trace of the little red lotus, and its appearance was unaware, Jiang Chuge knew that it would appear on its own, so she never went to look for it......

But now I want to look for it, but I don't know where to look for it......

She thought of Haoyue, so she hurried to the Bird Banquet Building.

In the evening, the Bird Banquet Building.

Jiang Chuge pushed the door and walked into the room, Haoyue happened to walk out of the study with a book, and was stunned when she saw Jiang Chuge, and said; "Why are you here?"

"Xiao Maruko heard your conversation with Qin Ying, and the person who went to the secret room was Xiao Maruko."

Haoyue was surprised, sat down and said; "How would he know about the Chamber of Secrets?"

"It was the Ghost Mother Gu Snake who brought him over, I just came to ask today, is it possible that the Ghost Mother Gu Snake is the Red Lotus Ghost Mother?"

"The existence of the Ghost Mother Gu Snake is said to be called the Ghost Mother Gu Snake because of its resemblance to the Red Lotus Ghost Mother, but their size is too far apart." Haoyue felt that this was a little unlikely.

"But Xiao Maruko has seen the Red Lotus Ghost Mother, he said that it was the Ghost Mother Gu Snake who changed, and that night Xiao Maruko went to the forest was brought by the Red Lotus Ghost Mother, if it is really the Red Lotus Ghost Mother, it will have a way to save Qin Ying, right?"

Haoyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, the ghost mother Gu snake is really the Red Lotus ghost mother?

Qin Ying stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, not knowing what to think again.

"Hiss~"

He turned his head sideways and saw Little Red Lotus staring at him on the table.

In the twilight sunset, a man with an umbrella stood not far from the alley, and passers-by did not seem to notice him.

The umbrella that blocked the face was slowly propped up, Jiang Chuge was surprised, that person was not ...... Psychic?

Jiang Chuge walked into the alley, the face of the man with double eyes was still pale, and he was also holding such an umbrella when he first saw him.

"We're meeting again?"

The man with two eyes smiled slowly; "I'm coming to you, to be exact."

"Looking for me?" She looked at him in a daze, a little confused.

"You want to save Qin Ying, you want to find the Red Lotus Ghost Mother." The man with two eyes spoke slowly, as if he could see through her thoughts and thoughts.

Jiang Chuge lowered his eyes and said; "Yes, because only the Red Lotus Ghost Mother has a way to save him."

"If it was in the past, the Red Lotus Ghost Mother would have been able to save it." The man with two eyes walked past Jiang Chuge, squatted down and spoke slowly, Jiang Chuge frowned and looked at him in confusion; "What do you mean?"

"Your descendants have not been affected by the bloodline of the ancient clan, even if half of the bloodline of the ancient clan flows through his body, but it is a fresh bloodline, and the so-called bloodline curse of the ancient clan has disappeared."

Jiang Chuge was stunned, yes, Xiao Wanzi was really not affected by that bloodline, and he was completely a healthy child.

"If the curse of the ancient bloodline disappears, then why does Qin Ying ......?"

"Because he's a dead vein."

After the double-eyed man finished speaking, he turned to look at her stunned and continued; "This is the only vein in the world that is rare in the ancient clan, his mother is not a vein, so the bloodline of the descendants is also affected, but the vein is different, the Red Lotus Ghost Mother can't save him."

Jiang Chuge seemed to have been poured cold water, it was clear that the Red Lotus Ghost Mother had always been by her side, and she obviously had a way, but now she was told that what she had done was in vain.

"In fact, Qin Ying himself knows that he can sense the existence of the Red Lotus Ghost Mother, why didn't he look for it all these years? Because he knew that the Red Lotus Ghost Mother couldn't save him at all. โ€

Jiang Chuge was stunned in place, so this was the reason why he asked himself not to continue looking?

It's not that he doesn't know about the existence of the Red Lotus Ghost Mother, he has known it for a long time, but he never said it.

ยทโ€œ Don't...... Is there no way around it? She lowered her head heavily, her fists clenched, telling her to give up how could it be, she couldn't give up.

"What would you do if I said yes, but there was a price to pay?"

Xiao Honglian kept swallowing beans on the table, turned her head to look at Qin Ying, who was holding her head with one hand and looking at herself, tilted her head, and continued to swallow.

"Little thing, you are the Red Lotus Ghost Mother."

Little Honglian turned her head to look at Qin Ying and narrowed her eyes.

Qin Ying took a breath, his tone was deep; "This king can feel you, but I didn't expect you to follow Duo'er all the time."

After the little red lotus was full, she crawled in front of him, and Qin Ying looked at the place where she had cut it off with a sword, and it had healed completely without wounds, just like the rumored Red Lotus Ghost Mother still had the ability to kill and not die.

"Lord Wang." Shadow was standing outside the door.

"What's wrong?"

"General Pinde is already in the study, I want to see you."

"Got it."

Qin Ying got up and glanced at the little red lotus; "This king will not accompany you."

With that, he walked out.

After Xiao Honglian looked at Qin Ying and left, she lowered her head as if sighing.

Den.

After Mu Pinde saw Qin Ying appear, he clenched his hands into fists; "Lord Wang."

Qin Ying nodded, walked to the position and sat down, and asked; "Why are you here?"

"It's that Liancheng and Bai Zhi are worried about you, so the last general will come over to take a look."

The prince canceled today's summons, Yi Xing didn't know the reason, and even Cheng Zhuo and Bai Zhi were anxious.

Qin Ying smiled lightly; "This king has something to do today, let them come tomorrow."

Mu Pinde nodded in agreement; "Then he will go back and speak to them."

"By the way, if the Queen Mother still investigates the underground changes in the Library Pavilion and the descendants of the Xiao family, tell her that this matter has nothing to do with the previous dynasty, and the Ye family will not be in chaos, so that the Queen Mother can rest assured."

Mu Pinde was stunned, but he didn't think much about it, but he just responded.

Seeing that Mu Pinde was about to retreat, he spoke again; "And ......"

Mu Pinde turned around in confusion; "What else does the prince have to explain?"

"It's nothing, stand down."

Mu Pinde hugged his fists and retreated, and when he walked out of the courtyard, he didn't understand anything.

The two walked to the bridge, and the lights on the shore were bright, reflecting the sparkling microwaves in the river.

"Duo'er, why did you suddenly think of going to the night market with this king tonight?"

Jiang Chuge turned his head to look at him and laughed; "Isn't this a fun world for two!"

"I can't help it."

"There's something fun there, let's go check it out!" Jiang Chuge said, running in front of him first.

Qin Ying also followed, and Jiang Chuge squeezed into the crowd, it turned out to be a ring to take the treasure.

It's all worthless gadgets, but it looks like it's fun.

"Boss, give me ten laps!"

"Great!"

The boss handed ten circles to Jiang Chuge, Jiang Chuge took out a circle and carefully picked it, and asked Qin Ying beside him; "Which one do you think?"
