Chapter 1: Resurrection from the Dead

Next Chapter

At the end of May, a bloody female corpse suddenly appeared outside the Imperial City of the Southern Night Kingdom, and under the onlookers of everyone, the female corpse suddenly opened her eyes and got up, patted the dust on her clothes and disappeared in the frightened eyes of everyone.

"The corpse of the woman...... Where did the woman go? ”

The rain outside the window was falling, and the man standing by the window looked more and more unreal through the rain curtain.

The man was slender and thin, dressed in a light green brocade suit, with a little ink plum embroidered on the cuffs, and a jade flute with a whole green body hanging from his waist.

A jade hairpin tied up his black hair, and a few cool breezes blowing from the rain curtain stirred the hair behind his back, and a few strands of hair fell to his mouth, and the handsome face of the man lined him was even paler.

The man stretched out his right hand out of the window and caught a few drops of cold rain, and his dark eyes stared at the place with a little smile, like a galaxy gradually flashing under the extremely dark sky.

"The woman went to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The escort replied truthfully.

"Prime Minister's Mansion, what does this woman have to do with Prime Minister Murong Li?"

The voice is not hurried or slow, as soft and clear as a mountain stream.

Gongsun Mingzhao had already withdrawn his right hand, and Bai Juan, who was clean and tidy in his hand, was wiping the rain in his palm, and his hands, which were rarely a little warm, began to glow abnormally cool again, he hooked the corners of his lips, put Bai Juan back in his arms, and finally waved his hand to let the secret guard behind him close the window that connected to the outside.

Tianmu came to the main room after closing the window, and saw that Gongsun Mingzhao was already sitting there drinking tea and waiting for him, he paused, took out the paper in his arms and put it next to Gongsun Mingzhao's hand, and took a few steps back before speaking.

"Lord Wang, you see, this is the news that his subordinates found through the Shadow Pavilion, and the woman who behaved treacherously that day was Murong Qin'er, the daughter of the Prime Minister."

"Oh?" Gongsun Mingzhao raised the corners of his eyebrows, and his bony hand picked up the paper on the table and looked at it carefully.

"This king has always heard that the daughter of the prime minister has been fostered in a nunnery since she was a child because of her weak health, and we don't know when she returned to Beijing, and now she appeared outside the city covered in blood for no reason...... This Murong Qin'er is a bit interesting. ”

Seeing that Tianmu's expression was a little hesitant, Gongsun Mingzhao said at the right time: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are just worried that the Holy Lord deliberately sent you to deal with the Gu poison case in Shanghe Town a few days ago, if you can't find out within a month, I'm afraid that the Holy Lord will take the opportunity to make trouble at that time, and you really shouldn't be distracted by other things now."

Gongsun Mingzhao's eyes were pale, and his voice couldn't hear emotions.

"If the royal brother wants to deliberately attack the king, the king can't avoid it even if he does a lot of good, so why bother himself. Besides, who said that Murong Qin'er had nothing to do with this matter. ”

"Lord, what do you mean......"

"The time when Murong Qin'er returned to Beijing, the time when Gu poison appeared in Shanghe Town, if it weren't for the fact that Murong Qin'er appeared outside the city at that time was too weird, this king might not have noticed that the daughter of the prime minister returned to Beijing, and naturally he would not have discovered the coincidence."

"Then the prince, do you need your subordinates to send someone to keep an eye on Murong Qin'er now."

"Hmm. In addition, prepare that this king will personally go to Shanghe Town tomorrow to investigate the situation. ”

"Yes, lord."

……

The night was thick, the breeze was light, and the courtyard was exceptionally quiet, but the woman who was sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly woke up from the bed, her fair and smooth forehead was full of sweat.

The originally ruddy and tender lips were a little dry, and there were a little beads of sweat on the tip of the straight nose, a pair of thick eyebrows were lightly twisted, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the glass-colored eyes under the feather eyelashes were still a little frightened and uneasy at this time.

Ignoring the cold sweat all over her body, she wrapped herself in the quilt and snuggled tightly in the corner of the bed.

It was the fifth day, and since she had woken up bloodied in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city, she had been having nightmares of changing faces, all of whom were looking at her with bleeding pupils, shouting for their lives, and then lunging at her in unison......

At this time, she would be awakened, but what really frightened her was not this unprovoked nightmare, but her own strange physique, when she returned from outside the city, she avoided her personal maid Yuncui, and changed her own clothes covered in blood.

Yun Cui's face turned pale with fright when she got the clothes, and she kept asking her what happened.

She shook her head, only saying that it was accidentally stained with the blood of outsiders.

She didn't want to tell Yun Cui that she was kidnapped and slashed, and even how the blood in her body slowly drained, because she knew that resurrection from the dead would not happen to an ordinary person at all.

She knows how difficult it is for her to survive until now, the picture of her mother's death has been deeply rooted in her mind since she was a child, but now she is a dignified minister, but she is seriously injured and does not die, what kind of monster is it?

She thought, she had to figure something out.
