Chapter 4: Why are you so underwhelmed
Chu Wuxian's voice was so close to her, but she couldn't see Chu Wuxian, either she was not in the same place as him, or she was in something!
And it has to be something that Chu Wuxian, otherwise why is the other person's voice always farther away, and what barrier is there?
Xie Shuangge closed his eyes, thinking back to the things he was wearing when he saw Chu Wuxian before, embroidered spring knives, jade pendants, and purses......
None of these things look like they can hide people......
Xie Shuangge was stunned, yes, you can't hide people, you didn't say you can't hide ghosts, right?
She is out of her body, it can be seen that the gods and ghosts are not all lies, and the book says that some objects will give birth to spiritual wisdom after wearing them for a long time, and it is not impossible to hide people's souls.
The purse is not very similar, that is the jade pendant or the embroidered spring knife?
Xie Shuangge faintly felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, but he couldn't be sure, and he had to observe and observe.
She pursed her lips and pricked up her ears to listen, and after a while, the sound of Xin Zhi sounded outside again.
"Master?" Xin Zhi saw that Chu was hateless and silent, and couldn't help but call.
Chu Wuxian came back to his senses and pinched his eyebrows, "It's okay, maybe I heard it wrong." β
He waved his hand, "Go ahead." β
Xin Zhi was silent for a while, but still persuaded: "Master, don't be too tired, you have been busy during this time, and you haven't rested much, and the people who beat you with iron should not be able to bear it." β
"I know what I know." After Chu Wuxian said this, he turned his head and went back to the room.
Xie Shuangge narrowed his eyes, the Jinyi guard commanded the envoy to walk in front of the emperor, the emperor's uncle seemed to be quite heavy on him, he was indeed more tired than ordinary people, thinking about it, it didn't seem incomprehensible that he always had a stinky face.
The room was quiet again, and Chu Wuxian sat on the chair, frowning and silent.
Xie Shuangge felt a little flustered and wanted him to say a few more words, but he didn't dare to speak.
What if Chu Wuxian thinks that she is some kind of unjust ghost and finds a Taoist priest to overdo her?
Most people are taboo about it.
She didn't dare to take this risk, but she didn't speak, and she was a little uncomfortable.
Xie Shuangge sat down again dejectedly, and Chu Wuxian was inside and out, as if they were competing silently, to see who couldn't hold back his mouth first.
However, waiting and waiting, Xie Shuangge's eyelids became heavier and heavier, his whole body was warm, and he was sleepy again after a while.
She seems to be very sleepy all the time since she turned into a ghost?
Chu Wuxian sat for another quarter of an hour and got up to find the emperor.
β¦β¦
The emperor was sitting in the main hall, looking for a few ministers to discuss matters, and after listening to people's opinions, he let Chu Wuxian come in.
In the main hall, the civil and military forces were lined up on both sides, and when they saw Chu Wuxian coming with a knife, their expressions were different.
"There is no hatred in the lowly position, knock on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live, long liveββ"
Chu Wuxian was accustomed to the guarded gaze of others, and knelt down without squinting.
When the emperor saw him coming, his tense expression was slightly darkened, and he raised his hand and said, "Excuse me." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Wuxian stood up and retreated to his place.
Everyone's eyes followed him, this young man who had no family to rely on, just climbed to the position of the leader of the brocade guard, and also made the emperor favor, it can be seen that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
They are about to wear out their mouths, and they don't have a good face from the emperor, and when he comes, the emperor's tone is different.
Some people inevitably felt unbalanced in their hearts, so they took the lead in attacking Chu Wuxian.
"Lord Chu, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it is your duty to protect Your Majesty's safety, but as a result, you not only failed to protect Your Majesty, but also injured Princess Jianing, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Wei Chong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, stood up, and his rough big hand pointed directly at Chu Wuxi.
Chu Wuxian didn't raise his eyelids, "Let Princess Jianing be injured, it's incompetent, how does Your Majesty want to punish the lowly position, the lowly position has no complaints, but please let the lowly position find out this matter." β
"Clear? Isn't Lord Chu an assassin who has already confessed? Prime Minister Pang asked with an unclear meaning.
The ministers behind also echoed, and the emperor's face sank again, and he said lightly: "Enough." β
The hall fell silent instantly, and the ministers shut up.
The emperor looked at Chu Wuxian, Chu Wuxian was still the same drooping appearance, although he didn't speak much, he looked inexplicably a little aggrieved, especially when surrounded by a large group of people, he seemed even weaker.
"No one can predict the assassination in advance, and if it could, I would have to wonder if someone had reported it in advance."
The emperor flicked his sleeves and stood up, his posture was straight, and he was not angry and arrogant.
"Chu has no hatred."
"Humble duty." Chu Wuxian took a step forward, and heard the emperor ask, "Has the assassin been recruited?" β
Chu Wuxian replied truthfully: "Not yet, these assassins are all dead soldiers, their mouths are very strict, and their humble positions have already made people use the interrogation methods of Jinyiwei, and there is no result for the time being." β
The emperor was not surprised by this, and after a moment of silence, he bowed his head and said: "Continue the trial, if you can't get the trial, you will be killed." β
"Yes."
"The assassin can avoid the sight of the Imperial Forest Army and go straight to the hunting grounds,heh-" The Emperor sneered, "Wei Chong, you can explain to me who is in charge of patrolling outside the hunting grounds?" β
The commander of the Imperial Forest Army, who was still commanding just now, suddenly turned white, and knelt on the ground in fear and begged for mercy.
His voice was low and rough, as if it was infinitely amplified in the hall, buzzing to the ear.
Xie Shuangge was woken up at this time.
She lay on the ground, sleeping in a daze, her whole body was hot and soft, she hadn't slept enough, she was disturbed by her dreams, and her temper suddenly went up.
She waved her hand and muttered, "It's noisy, shut up!" β
Still, the voice kept drilling into her ears.
Xie Shuangge covered her ears indignantly and turned over and sat up, "You-"
The words choked in her throat, and she looked at the familiar white mist, and her brows gradually relaxed, "Oh, I forgot that I became a ghost." β
She sighed and rubbed her somewhat hot face, absentmindedly wanting to hear what Chu Wuxian was doing.
"Give me a check! Carefully check it from the inside out, and there must be someone among them who is in harmony with the Assassins! I want to see who is so impatient! β
"Uncle?" Xie Shuangge was stunned for a moment when he heard this voice, and then he felt more cordial again, and his mood suddenly improved.
It was only then that she realized that she had just made a sound!
Xie Shuangge was startled, drowsy at all, subconsciously covered his mouth, and waited nervously.
However, after waiting for a long time, his eyes were sour, and he didn't hear Chu Wuxi's voice, and that strange sense of touch didn't appear.
The ministers begged for mercy again, and the emperor waved his hand impatiently.
"I'm tired, stand down."
"Yes, the ministers are leaving."
It was obviously a group of people talking together, but Xie Shuangge was very keen to distinguish Chu Wuxie's voice from it, and it was still very close to her, as if separated by a barrier.
This was followed by the sound of the fabric rubbing against each other.
That's it? Xie Shuangge's clear eyes moved slightly, and Chu Wuxian...... Didn't hear her?
Why can't you hear it again?
She was suspicious, and the next moment she heard the emperor say: "Chu Wuxian stays, I still have something to explain." β
"Yes."
Xie Shuangge: "! β
The noise of people subsided like a tide, and it fell silent in an instant.
"I heard that kid from the Shen family, went to see Jianing?"
The emperor sat back on the dragon chair, holding his head with one hand, as if he was a little tired.
Chu Wuxian's eyes sank slightly, "Yes, the humble post said a few heavy words and drove him out." β
The emperor didn't ask much about the reason, just raised his eyebrows and stared at him for a moment, and suddenly asked, "You don't seem to be able to look down on Shen Hanyu all along, why?" β
Chu Wuxian said in a deep voice: "The humble position is to feel that the timing of his approach to the princess is too coincidental, he still doesn't know how true the princess is, the humble position is the hand of His Majesty, knowing that His Majesty pities Princess Jianing the most, because he can't sit idly by and ignore it, let it come, and Princess Jianing is simple-minded, and it is very easy to be bewitched." β
Xie Shuangge: "? β
You're actually trying to call me stupid, right?
She clenched her fists, endured and endured, but she couldn't hold back, and punched the white mist in front of her.
Chu has no hatred! Underwhelmed!
However, at this moment, the white mist that had been diffuse suddenly faded, revealing a blank space that was a man high.
