Chapter 15: The Devil's Body
Su Qingmo didn't remember when she was unconscious, and she was still in the courtyard after she woke up, but there were no Mu Yuanjing and Wei Xu by her side.
As far as the eye could see, it was hazy, and when I rubbed my head, which still felt a little heavy, the bun and accessories on my head didn't feel like they were when I went out.
A trace of panic flashed in Su Qingmo's heart, and he hurriedly got up and ran into the house, picked up the bronze mirror on the table, although the face reflected in the bronze mirror was not particularly clear, but it could be seen that it was definitely not her face.
Why is this happening?
Su Qingmo stabilized his mind, and only then was he able to see the surrounding environment clearly, the room was still the same room, but the furnishings inside were much newer, the bed was covered with pink and purple bedding, there was no thick dust on the table, and the surface of the tea set was still shiny.
Walking out of the house, Su Qingmo noticed that the weapons on the weapon rack on the east wall were glowing with cold light, and there was no deep pit with bones buried in the courtyard in front of him, and the most important thing was that the main door facing the house was not locked but open.
She was stunned in the courtyard, suddenly closed her eyes and pinched herself, and when she opened her eyes again, a man's face appeared in front of her, and she was so frightened that she unconsciously took a step back.
The man who suddenly appeared reached out to help her, and said with a smile: "Ah Lan, why are you stupid again." ”
Su Qingmo looked at the handsome-looking man in front of him, and blurted out: "Brother Ning Xi, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Ning Xi smiled with some apology on his lips and coaxed: "It's my fault, I won't ask you to wait for me for so long next time." ”
At this time, Su Qingmo's body and behavior were already out of control, and at this moment, she was completely manipulated by An Lan's consciousness.
She watched Ning Xi and An Lan from knowing each other to falling in love in An Lan's body, watching the two of them practice together in the open space in the courtyard against the rising sun, and quietly admiring the moon together in the night.
But the good times didn't last long, and suddenly late one night, An Lan's door was knocked, and Ning Xi, who looked bad behind the door, appeared in front of An Lan.
"Brother Ning Xi, what's wrong with you?"
A trace of grief flashed across Ning Xi's face, "Ah Lan, are you willing to leave with me?" ”
"Why did Brother Ning Xi ask that?"
Ning Xi grabbed An Lan's hand, "Don't ask the side, tell me, are you willing to leave the troupe with Brother Ning Xi?" ”
Through Ning Xi's eyes, An Lan saw fragility and expectation, so she smiled and said, "I am naturally willing, I will go with you wherever Brother Ning Xi goes." ”
After getting An Lan's promise, Ning Xi laughed instantly, just laughing and laughing and crying, An Lan raised his hand to gently wipe away Ning Xi's tears, and asked softly: "Brother Ning Xi, what happened, why are you crying?" ”
Reaching out and holding An Lan into his arms, Ning Xi's head was buried in her neck, and he whispered: "Ah Lan, don't ask anything, pack your clothes tomorrow and wait for me to pick you up." ”
Soon it was the appointed time, Su Qingmo saw An Lan waiting in the room with a small bag of broken flowers, but the time had long since passed, Ning Xi still did not come, An Lan was anxiously pacing in the room, at this time there was a knock on the door, An Lan happily opened the door, but standing outside the door was a pair of men and women that Su Qingmo had never seen.
The woman in it looked soft and weak, but her words were very harsh, "Why, I'm still waiting for Ning Xi, let me tell you, Ning Xi and I are about to get married, don't dream." ”
When An Lan heard this, he immediately retorted, "You are talking nonsense. ”
The woman smiled with a mocking face, "What are you, Ning Xi will let the class master's daughter marry you without marrying, you, you are only worthy of living in this small courtyard, no matter how hard you sing, you can't sing, what good is marrying you to Ning Xi?" ”
The woman's words pierced An Lan's heart, and the contempt on her face crushed An Lan's self-esteem.
An Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and the woman continued to speak, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, think about it, if Ning Xi hadn't told me, how could I have come to you tonight, Ning Xi is the one who will take over Su Yongban in the future, and your existence will do him all harm and no benefit." ”
As soon as the woman's words landed, the man behind her walked towards An Lan.
At this time, An Lan realized the danger, she stepped back step by step, and the man behind the woman also walked towards her step by step.
In the end, the man tied her up despite An Lan's struggles, and she was dragged to the yard by the collar and pressed to the ground.
Then the corner of the woman's mouth raised a smile, her eyes were cold, she walked to the weapon rack on the side, took down a big knife from it, she dragged the knife to An Lan, and the tip of the knife made a piercing sound on the ground.
I don't know when Su Qingmo was bounced out of An Lan's body, she stood not far away and watched the woman raise a big knife and slash at An Lan who was lying on the ground and was held down by a man, maybe it wasn't a weapon that had been bladed.
So the blade was not as sharp as expected, and after cutting it down, it was stuck by the bone in An Lan's neck, and the woman shook it from side to side and pulled out the knife, and the blood gushed out as the knife was pulled out, and the warm blood was sprinkled on the open space in the middle of the courtyard.
also dyed Su Qingmo's eyes red.
After An Lan took his last breath, the two murderers dug a pit on the spot and pushed the person in and buried it.
Su Qingmo heard the woman say to the man as she walked: "Seal this courtyard, no one will come in the future anyway." ”
When she lost consciousness again, she seemed to hear An Lan muttering under the ground, "Son, wait for you to pick me up." ”
When he opened his eyes, Su Qingmo's consciousness was still a little unconscious, and he didn't know whether he was still in An Lan's past memories or had returned to reality, until Mu Yuanjing's voice sounded in his ears.
"Qingmo, is that you?"
Su Qingmo rubbed the back of his aching neck, and his voice was a little weak, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Without waiting for Mu Yuanjing to speak, Wei Xu said on the side: "Princess, you seem to have been ghosted just now. ”
Su Qingmo was stunned, "What have I done?" ”
"You woke up after you passed out, and then snatched my dagger to stab the prince, and in the end there was really no way for the prince to knock you out."
Su Qingmo's face tightened, "Did I hurt you?" ”
"No, I avoided it."
"That's good."
Su Qingmo leaned on Mu Yuanjing's arms, closed her eyes and recalled what happened this night, and had a faint guess in her heart, she opened her eyes and looked at the corner of the open space in the middle of the courtyard, which was the place where An Lan's body was buried, and said in a slightly high voice: "An Lan, I know you are here, I have something to say to you." ”
The night breeze was blowing, the leaves were rustling, and there was no change in the courtyard, Su Qingmo continued: "Don't you want to know why you are trapped here? ”
Su Qingmo waited quietly, and just as he was about to give up, slowly, a figure appeared in the open space.
An Lan still looked terrifying, she stood not far from the three of them, and said in a faint voice, "You know? ”
Su Qingmo was helped to stand up by Mu Yuanjing, she looked at An Lan's red eyes, and a trace of unbearability flashed on her face, "You, do you know how you died?" ”
An Lan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Su Qingmo again and shook his head.
Su Qingmo's hands clenched unconsciously, her eyes drooped downward, and then looked at An Lan, "Then do you remember Ning Xi?" ”
An Lan was dazed at first, and then pain crossed her face, she rushed to Su Qingmo at a speed that caught people off guard, grabbed Su Qingmo's neck with both hands, and asked with a hideous face: "Tell me, who is Ning Xi." ”
Su Qingmo grabbed Mu Yuanjing's hand, and it was a little difficult to breathe, "Let go of me, and I'll tell you what happened, otherwise, you will never want to know." ”
An Lan hesitantly let go of his hands, Su Qingmo gasped, and after his breathing calmed down, he said, "Tonight, you let us go first, and everything you want to know will have an answer tomorrow." ”
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of An Lan's mouth, "If I can't wait for you tomorrow, the man who left earlier will appear in this courtyard like them." ”
Su Qingmo knew that the person An Lan said was Lin Ning, and it was not impossible for her to tell An Lan the truth immediately, but An Lan was dead after all, and the resentment on her body was extremely heavy.
No one could have predicted that An Lan, who knew the truth, would lose her mind and go on a killing spree, she needed to go back to the palace to prepare in case An Lan hurt people.
After An Lan finished speaking, he slowly disappeared from the eyes of the three of them, and Su Qingmo was about to open his mouth to explain why he left Lin Ning as a hostage, Mu Yuanjing said softly, "No need to say more, I believe you, let's go back to the house first." ”
Su Qingmo was held by Mu Yuanjing and jumped all the way back to the Moxiangju in the palace, and when he entered the Moxiangju, Mu Yuanjing noticed something unusual.
That is, the maid Qingzhu beside Su Qingmo seemed to have received the letter in advance, she waited in front of the door of Mo Xiangju early, and checked the back of Su Qingmo's neck as soon as Su Qingmo left his arms.
It was in the courtyard, when Su Qingmo was put on the body, he shot out to stun her position.
Mu Yuanjing glanced at Qingzhu thoughtfully, and then instructed Yong'an, who was following behind: "Prepare the bath room, this king wants to bathe." ”
Yong'an was ordered to leave the main room of Moxiangju, Su Qingmo also walked into another soup room under the service of Qinghe and Qingrui, and sat in the bathtub, Su Qingmo exhaled comfortably, Qingzhu jumped lightly from the beam of the room, and whispered: "The prince seems to have noticed it." ”
Su Qingmo didn't speak, and Qingrui on the side asked while scooping water and pouring it on the master, "Didn't the princess tell Qingzhu not to expose the dead easily before she got married?" ”
"One time, another time."
Qingrui blinked, not understanding what the master meant, Qinghe smiled and patted her on the head, "Stupid girl." ”
Su Qingmo also laughed, and explained softly, "He has already given me all the things about the Hidden Guard, the Hidden Guard, and the Hidden Guard, so I can't hide the matter of the dead from him anymore." ”
Qingrui had some curiosity on her face, "Does the princess like the prince?" ”
Su Qingmo looked at Qingrui behind him and said with a smile: "Where did you learn this?" ”
"It's not Yong'an by the prince's side, the Qingrui girl who surrounds her all day long, the Qingrui girl's call, must have been learned from Yong'an."
Qinghe's words made Qingrui blush, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't learn it from Yong'an, I want to know what the princess thinks of the princess." ”
"It's hard to say what will happen to me and the prince in the future, but if there is really a love for the day, I don't want the matter of the dead man to become a secret between me and him."
"What if the prince doesn't ask the princess?"
Qingzhu's words caused Su Qingmo to smile, "If he obviously noticed it but didn't ask me, it only means that he doesn't trust me as much as he said, then why should I take the initiative to tell the story of the dead soldier." ”
Su Qingmo had finished bathing while a few people were talking, and when he entered the room, Mu Yuanjing had already finished bathing for a long time, the candlelight in the room was bright and warm, and the man with a clear temperament sat on the bed as if waiting for someone.
Su Qingmo looked at Mu Yuanjing and asked, "Isn't the prince resting?" ”
"Well, wait for someone."
Su Qingmo looked back at the door and wondered, "Who is the prince waiting for?" ”
Mu Yuanjing wanted to help his forehead, who else could he wait for in their room.
Looking at her really puzzled face, Mu Yuanjing laughed softly and stretched out his hand to Su Qingmo and said, "Come here." ”
Su Qingmo always felt that there was something wrong with Mu Yuanjing tonight, she slowly moved over with hesitation in her heart, but she didn't put her hand into the other party's palm for a long time.
Mu Yuanjing leaned forward, pulled her past and sat beside her, and said softly with a smile: "I have something to ask you." ”
Su Qingmo's eyelashes drooped, and he raised his head again, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”
Mu Yuanjing rubbed the delicate hand in his palm, "Why did you reveal the matter of the Su family's death to me." ”
He had already sent Lin Ning to investigate, and naturally knew that she had deliberately revealed the matter of the dead soldier to him.
Su Qingmo didn't know how to answer, seeing that she didn't speak, Mu Yuanjing was not displeased, but the expression on his face became softer and softer, "You are gradually starting to pay attention to me, aren't you?" ”
Mu Yuanjing rubbed the roots of her ears and said with a smile: "If you don't speak, I'll treat you as a default." ”
Su Qingmo bit his lower lip and did not refute Mu Yuanjing's words, but blushed and whispered, "Didn't the prince ask me about the Su family's dead soldiers?" ”
Mu Yuanjing replied, "I don't really like you to call me the prince." ”
Su Qingmo blinked, thought for a while, and hesitated: "Brother Jing? ”
Mu Yuanjing showed a satisfied and happy look, and responded with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”
Su Qingmo held back the sense of shame that burst in her heart, she blushed and looked at the smiling person beside her and said stubbornly: "Don't you want to know why the dead soldiers of the Su family followed me into Beijing?" ”
"You want to tell me?"
In fact, the existence of the dead man told Mu Yuanjing that it really didn't matter, on the one hand, the existence of the dead man was just to ensure her safety, and on the other hand, the Su family had no ambitions, and they didn't have to worry about being found out.
Thinking of this, Su Qingmo said: "Actually, the Su family originally had no dead soldiers, but with the continuous expansion of the family business, danger and the jealousy of others also followed, so the head of the Su family of the previous generation spent a lot of effort to cultivate the first batch of dead soldiers of the Su family. ”
"On weekdays, the dead are in the hands of the head of the Su family, and the role is only to protect the safety of the Su family and the Su family.
Speaking of this, Su Qingmo stopped, and Mu Yuanjing continued: "Father-in-law is afraid that you will be hurt if you marry in the capital, and I am afraid that I will not treat you sincerely." ”
Su Qingmo nodded noncommittally, hesitated for a moment and continued: "The dead soldiers in my hands are all in charge of Qingzhu, in fact, Qingzhu knows everything tonight, if Qingzhu leads the dead soldiers to act in time, Lin Ning may not be controlled, but without my signal, Qingzhu will not act without permission." ”
Mu Yuanjing sighed softly: "Qingmo, you shouldn't blame yourself for this. ”
"Won't you blame me?"
Mu Yuanjing looked at her eyes very seriously, "I don't blame you, I won't have a gap with you because of this matter now, and I won't have a dislike with you because of this matter in the future." ”
Su Qingmo's heart finally fell back into his belly.
Mu Yuanjing rubbed the top of her hair, "It's not early, you're tired all night, just rest." ”
Su Qingmo nodded, climbed into the inside of the bed, and then got into the quilt, and as soon as he lay down, he was dragged into the arms of the person who came into the futon later, Mu Yuanjing patted her like a dream and said, "Sleep." ”
Mu Yuanjing's arms with cold incense were a little cold, but it unexpectedly made Su Qingmo feel at ease, she shrank her body and closed her eyes obediently.
With a smile on the corner of Mu Yuanjing's mouth, he gently hugged Su Qingmo, waited for her to fall asleep, and then imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and then fell asleep together.
