Chapter 42: Salt Spikes
"Miss." Yugu stood outside the door and whispered.
Lin Yanxi cried a little angrily, and looked at Yugu in confusion.
Yu Gu held a cloak in her hand, and she gently draped it on Lin Yanxi and said, "I should have died with Madame, but she asked me to stay and take care of you and the third young lady."
Lin Yanxi shook her hands and took the cloak, her eyes were full of pain, "It's all my fault, she said she wanted to give me the cloak, she said she wanted to look at me again, but I was at that time, I was angry at that time."
Her voice was broken and trembling, like a dandelion crumbling in the wind, ready to disperse with the wind at any moment, "I was so angry with her that I didn't even let her see me one last time as she wished."
Shen Muzhou couldn't bear her to blame herself anymore, "It's not your fault, no one knows that it will become like this."
"Who is it! Aunt Yu, tell me who killed my mother?"
Yu Gu's tears couldn't be controlled, and she said, "Madame asked me not to tell you these things, but I think I should let you know."
"Spellcasters who practice forbidden arts against the sky have to do it at the cost of backlashing themselves, and the only thing that can counteract this backlash is the magic essence of the talisman clan. The eldest young master, Jiang Hao, also died because of this."
"But the backlash is not over, there is more than one spell master, when they can't get the essence of the rune, they need to absorb the essence and blood of ordinary people to temporarily offset the pain of the backlash, but that's just a drop in the bucket, they have been secretly looking for the person who awakens the rune bloodline, but I don't know why the young lady can use the rune, but there is no breath of the rune awakening."
"However, they still quickly set their sights on the Taifu Mansion, Madame knew that this matter could not be hidden, she used the Spirit Gathering Talisman to disguise herself as the person who awakened the power of the talisman, lured out the spell master, and then used three salt nails to hit the skull, which can dissipate the talisman master's cultivation, so that the other party mistakenly thinks that Madame is burning jade with them."
"So, when they didn't get the essence blood of the talisman, the sorcerer was angry and ruined to the people of the entire Zhuangzi...... Madame let me hide in the secret door beforehand to escape."
Shen Muzhou asked, "Then can you see the appearance of the spell master?"
Jade Gu shook her head, "All I saw was them wearing black cloaks."
Black cloak, black cloak again!
Lin Yanxi's eyes were red, dyed with a hint of murderous intent, "I want them to pay for their blood debts."
Strangely, she didn't see the breath of spells on her mother's body, but the wounds on her mother's body were indeed not caused by sharp blades.
She must have missed something......
Yu Gu shook her head and said, "Madame is doing this to cover up the signs of your talisman master's awakening, live incognito for the rest of your life, and stop thinking about revenge."
"It's just Miss, why have you used talismans before, but you can't detect any signs of the talisman's awakening?"
Lin Yanxi was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't detect it before because she borrowed the power of the soul ring, but two days ago, her mother could already detect signs of the talisman awakening in her body.
Apparently Yugu didn't know.
She wanted to explain, but Shen Muzhou took over and said, "For now, let's take Madam back to Taifu's Mansion first."
He always felt that the whole thing was a little strange, and he clearly saw a hint of temptation on Yugu's face.
When Lin Ze came, he brought someone from the government office, and when he saw Jiang Wan's body, he couldn't say a word, he quietly hugged Jiang Wan.
"Take you home for your husband."
He picked up Jiang Wan with some difficulty, and the rain hit the faces of the two.
"I remember when I first met you, there was this drizzle in the sky, and the smoke and rain were like a dream, and you hid in the pavilion in a red dress to avoid the rain, but you didn't notice me."
"You support me in everything, including my ambitions, I always promise you things that I can't do, I promise you to return to the fields and take you to see the beautiful mountains and rivers all over the moon, I thought you would wait for me to fulfill these promises."
It's a pity that Jiang Wan can't wait. qs
The past few decades have passed by like a white horse.
The white lantern was hung under the eaves of the Taifu Mansion emitting a miserable white candlelight, the coffin was lying in the mourning shed, and Lin Ruoyan was crying hoarsely on the side.
Lin Yanxi was kneeling on the mourning hall wearing a white filial piety cloth, her face was not sad or happy, there was no expression, but her low-hanging eyes were hollow and dim, as if covered with a layer of ash.
Shen Muzhou led the people of the Dark Night Division around the Taifu Mansion, and he was worried that the Spell Master's people would attack the Taifu Mansion again.
Lin Ze walked up to Shen Muzhou and said to him, "Ninth Prince, how long do you want to stay in my Taifu Mansion?"
"If it weren't for your repeated interference in the affairs of my Taifu's mansion, why would my wife be in trouble here?"
"Don't think I don't know what you deliberately did to get close to the little girl!"
Shen Muzhou stood outside the mourning hall, his eyes were murderous, and he clenched the hilt of the knife.
"Why, it's not enough for you to kill my wife, do you want to kill the old man?" Lin Ze said defiantly.
The prince always suspects that the Taifu Mansion and Shen Muzhou are too close today, he has always been scheming, even if he is disrespectful to the prince on this occasion, outsiders will not say anything, after all, he has just lost his wife, and everything is grief-stricken.
And he can just take this opportunity to frame Shen Muzhou for having ulterior motives for the Taifu Mansion, and he can also make a show to the prince to show his position.
Shen Muzhou's knife handle was pulled out, and the people of Taifu Mansion were protecting Lin Ze's body, his eyes glanced at Lin Yanxi, who was kneeling on the ground, paused, and put away the knife handle.
She knelt there silently, as if nothing outside had anything to do with her.
Seeing that he hadn't provoked him, Lin Ze said hoarsely, "Get out of here with your people from the Night Division!"
"Daddy."
Lin Yanxi, who had not spoken, called in a low voice.
Lin Ze immediately put away his anger, "It's okay, with my father, you don't have to be afraid of the people of the Nine Kings' Mansion."
Lin Yanxi glanced at Lin Ze deeply, wanted to say something but held back, she turned to Shen Muzhou and said, "Nine Princes, please go back, I promised you something before, I hope that after you are done, you can put ......
The people of the Dark Night Division forcibly took Lin Ze aside, and he could only be stopped by the side with his eyes stared, there was nothing he could do, and he knew the strength of the Dark Night Division.
Without waiting for her to finish, Shen Muzhou took her hand and put the soul ring in the palm of her hand.
Qin Tianjian said that Lin Yanxi was the only one of his nine deaths, but if all this was premised on forcing and threatening her, he would rather choose nine deaths.
As for Lin Yanxi's, during this period of time, he believed that she would not be the one who provoked the war of annihilation of the world.
"...... you" Lin Yanxi was a little surprised, he returned the soul ring to himself so easily?
Shen Muzhou's deep eyes stared at her, and his voice was low, "Protect yourself."
Then he left the Taifu Mansion with the people of the Night Division.
After he left, Lin looked at the bright sky and smiled meaningfully.
There are still two hours left to go to the court at dawn, and Shen Muzhou will be framed and imprisoned in the court, and it will be seen how proud he will be when the time comes.
Lin Yanxi noticed Lin Ze's smile, she gritted her teeth, clenched her palms, and knelt on the ground again.
Lin Ruoyan was still crying and wiping her tears.
Lin Yanxi hugged her little sister in her arms and comforted her hatefully: "Yan'er, don't worry, I will definitely avenge my mother."
"Sister, mother kisses her dead...... Is it painful?"
The word death calmly smashed into everyone's heart.
She was silent, her nails were sunk deep into the flesh, she couldn't deceive herself, her mother's ten fingers were broken due to struggle, her skull was beaten alive into three three-inch-long salt nails, and she even convulsed and incontinence due to the severe pain of being tortured before she died......
Black cloak, sorcerer, she's going to make those people pay a thousand times over!
Her apricot eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she took a deep breath and said, "Death will be painful, but those who live must have the courage to continue to live."
"Yan'er, I swear to you, I will definitely let the person who killed your mother live better than die, and pay for the blood debt!"
Ruoyan had never seen such an angry second sister, she stopped talking, and didn't want to upset Lin Yanxi again.
sky
The sun rose as usual, Yan'er fell asleep on Lin Yanxi's body, and Lin changed into his official uniform and prepared to go to the court.
Lin Yanxi looked at Lin Ze fixedly, and said coldly, "Dad, can't you not go to the court today?"
Lin Ze's expression stiffened, "Ah, there is something very important in the court today, and my father promises that he will rush back after the next court."
"What's important?"
"I told you about the things in the court, and you don't understand."
Lin Yanxi glanced at the sleeping little sister, put her to the side, got up and walked to Lin Ze's side and said, "Give up."
Lin Ze's expression stiffened for a moment and asked, "What?"
"Dad, my mother's death is related to the prince, I told you before, the Taifu Mansion should not become a sharp blade in the hands of the prince, framing innocent people for power, the two parties fight, and it hurts the foundation of Nanmin."
She carefully recalled that the first time she noticed the existence of the spell was Shen Muzhou's body, his illness was related to the spell, and then she was at the hairpin meeting, and the hairpin that the prince gave her was attached to the spell.
After that, in Quanjing Village, Heijin seemed to be instructed by someone to deliberately lure them there, also with the purpose of killing Shen Muzhou.
When she met the black cloak in Quanjing Village, she used a spell to escape for her life, obviously for the black cloak, she was an unexpected gain, and their original intention was to kill Shen Muzhou.
Shen Muzhou has many enemies, and the person who wants Shen Muzhou to die the most in the palace is the prince, and it just so happens that all these things are related to the prince in some way.
Once she always thought that she was just the second lady of the Taifu Mansion who had not left the cabinet, and it was impossible for her identity to shake the status of the prince, she just wanted to persuade her father to stop working hard for the prince, and stay alone in the court or resign directly and go into hiding.
But now it's different, she found that she was wrong, she complained about Concubine Yu in her heart, and felt that Concubine Yu saw the prince commit violence in her previous life, but she was indifferent, and it was precisely because of the blindness and connivance of these people that the prince would continue to be violent unscrupulously.
So it's the same with Shen Muzhou, if she ignores her father and the prince's design to frame Shen Muzhou, then what's the difference between her and Concubine Yu in her previous life, as well as those abusers?
Besides, if she wants to bring down the crown prince, she needs to use Shen Muzhou's power.
"Dad, the first person the prince will bite back after gaining power is you, and the Taifu Mansion will also be involved. If my mother's death is related to the crown prince, do you still have to do those wrong things for him?"
Lin Ze has not spoken, this matter in the court is intertwined, as a former master, where can he easily withdraw.
"Zhaozhao, you believe in Dad, your mother's death, I will find out the real culprit and give you and Yan'er an explanation."
After Lin Ze finished speaking, he left in a hurry and took the carriage in the direction of the palace.
