"Sucking people's essence?" Ye Ningxiang was shocked in her heart, recalling that she was caught by Ji Beihuan before, and let the Gu worms he raised crawl into her body and wantonly suck her own essence, although there was nothing unusual on the surface, but the itching sensation of the Gu worms crawling and the pain of eating flesh and blood made Ye Ningxiang still have palpitations.

"Yes, while it's not clear what exactly was done, it's almost certain that these murders weren't the work of ordinary people. or someone like Ji Beihuan who knows magic, or maybe he is not a human at all. ”

"Yes, it must be Ji Beihuan again, last time he used Gu worms to suck the essence of the girl in order to make King Duan immortal, and harmed the lives of countless girls!"

Wei Xun shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about Ji Beihuan's loss of traces, now we have no evidence, and we can't do anything with him." ”

Seeing that Wei Xun was very busy, Ye Ningxiang couldn't bear to disturb him too much, so she didn't stay by his side for long before leaving.

When she returned to the palace, Ye Ningxiang bought a lot of delicious food, ready to try it for Father Ye, who had been poor all his life.

The afternoon sun in spring is always warm and pleasant, and Daddy Ye is sitting on a wicker chair, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun, looking comfortable and relaxed.

"Dad, I bought a lot of delicious things, all of which you haven't eaten before, come and try them!"

Hearing that his daughter, who had been away for most of the day, was back, Daddy Ye blossomed, and hurriedly entered the house to see what good things Ye Ningxiang had brought. However, he didn't taste it alone, but ran to the next room to pull up Ye Liu and Ye Ninglu, who were asleep, and said, "Wake up, Ningxiang bought a lot of delicious food for us, and let us taste it!"

Hearing that it was something that Ye Ningxiang bought, Ye Liu pulled down his face on the spot with a reluctant look. Ye Ninglu was the opposite, showing a very grateful look, looking at Ye Ningxiang happily and said: "Sister Ningxiang still cares about her sister, and she made a special trip to Jing'an City to buy these delicious foods for her sister." ”

While talking, she naturally took out some food from one of the food boxes and stuffed it into her mouth, and while eating, she said: "Well, it's delicious, Jing'an's snacks are different from other places." ”

"Oh, by the way, Ning Xiang, just now a man dressed in filial piety clothes came to the prince, saying that a person named Qi died last night, and then the prince left in a hurry after a few simple words. ”

"Is that person's surname Qi?"

Seeing that Father Ye nodded affirmatively, Ye Ningxiang knew that the person who died last night was Qi Changyong, who had gone through three dynasties and had once dominated the government and the opposition. Under the blow of the death of his children one after another, he dragged his sick body and struggled for more than two months before finally going to Huangquan.

Sure enough, as Ye Ningxiang expected, Mu Xize didn't come back all night, and he didn't mean to go back to the house on the second day. After struggling in her heart for a long time, Ye Ningxiang finally decided to go to Qi Mansion to see Qi Changyong on his last journey.

Although it was she who killed a pair of his children, blindly avoiding it made her feel uneasy after all, so she should go to Qi Mansion to mourn Qi Changyong, a powerful minister, and bring back Mu Xize who has been busy with Qi Changyong's funeral by the way.

The door of Qi Mansion is full of white flags, and Qi Changyong's tablet is displayed in the inner hall, and Qi Changyong's coffin is placed in the middle. Occasionally, the officials who were in pairs of stars probably found out in their conscience, remembering the kindness of Lord Qi to him when he was alive, and came to mourn Qi Changyong with a heavy face.

Ye Ningxiang also offered incense to Qi Changyong like those officials, and then kowtowed again. A young man dressed in filial piety clothes and dressed as a subordinate looked at Ye Ningxiang, as if he was not someone he knew before his family's death, and looked at Ye Ningxiang Although he was dressed in white, he couldn't hide the luxury of the clothes, and asked suspiciously: "The girl looks at the eyes, but my old acquaintance?"

"I'm not an old acquaintance of Lord Qi, but I think that Lord Qi has been dedicated to his duties and dedication all his life, and he has worked hard to do his best, but in his later years, he suffered the tragedy of the tragic death of a pair of children, and finally ended up in a depressed ending, so he felt pity, so he came to worship. ”

"I can't imagine that after the lord loses his dominant position, there are still people who care about and care about the lord like the girl, which can be regarded as the blessing of the lord!"

The more the person said this, the more guilty Ye Ningxiang felt in her heart, so she deliberately changed the topic and said: "I thought that the Qi family had dispersed, and I was afraid that this funeral of Lord Qi would fail, but I didn't expect this funeral to be very decent and secure." ”

"This is also thanks to the help of His Royal Highness King Ning. The man smiled, looking extremely grateful.

"Is Your Highness still there at the moment?"

The man shook his head and said, "His Highness said that he still has something to do, so he left for the time being." ”

Hearing that Mu Xize was unfortunately not here, Ye Ningxiang was a little inexplicably disappointed, but she stopped talking after a sigh. After all, there was no one she knew in this Qi Mansion, and it was boring to stay here alone, and after a short rest, Ye Ningxiang left.

Today, there is a famous singing troupe in Jing'an City, it is said that they came from Yeqi County, and their reputation is very loud, and many people do not care whether the play is good or bad, and they have run to the stage to watch the play.

Ye Ningxiang's most annoying thing in her life is listening to operas, in her previous life, her father was good at listening to operas, and she always had to hum a few songs at home when she had nothing to do, probably because she was hurt by her father's broken gong voice, no matter how beautiful the drama was heard in the future, Ye Ningxiang couldn't wait to block her ears and didn't want to hear anything.

Thinking that it seemed too early to go back to the palace now, Ye Ningxiang thought about going to Yipinju to chat with her good sister Mo Xiaoqin, but she didn't expect this Mo Xiaoqin to be in Yipinju, and asked the guy to know that this Mo Xiaoqin heard that Jing'an had a well-known troupe, and pulled a handsome black-clothed young man to listen to the play.

Hearing this answer, Ye Ningxiang was very disappointed in her heart, and she was not in the mood to continue to wander outside, so she walked towards Ning Wangfu alone.

"Rumo, come on, it is said that the play of this troupe is the best in leaving the country, you must not have heard of it!" Mo Xiaoqin held the steaming roasted sweet potato that Rumo had just bought for her, and said with a smile, a pair of beautiful pear vortices looming.

Seeing Mo Xiaoqin so happy, Rumo unconsciously showed a shallow smile, and an unprecedented warmth was reflected on his face.

"Rumo, I think, I think you're different from before. Mo Xiaoqin smiled, then put her hand on the corner of Rumo's mouth very presumptuously, and then grinned the corners of his mouth to both sides, after that, her smile became even stronger, and said: "You should smile more in the future, otherwise you will get old." ”

Rumo didn't speak, just looked at Mo Xiaoqin quietly, looking at this innocent girl who was lively and cheerful and always had a smile on her face. There seemed to be something surging in those deep eyes, and unconsciously there was a trace of indescribable affection.

A sudden shout broke the dreamy silence.

"Run, run, the stage is collapsing!"

With the shouts of the people, the scene was already in chaos, and everyone fled in all directions, and then looked at the stage that originally looked grand, but now most of it has collapsed, and the remaining half is also collapsing in the direction of the crowd.

"Be careful!" Rumo protected Mo Xiaoqin tightly under him, only to hear a muffled sound, Rumo's face suddenly turned hideous, as if she was enduring great pain.

"Rumo, Rumo, are you okay?" At this time, Mo Xiaoqin found that Rumo was carrying a large wooden pillar half a human thickness on his back, and the weight of the wooden pillar was all transferred to Rumo's body.

Rumo quickly regained his calm face, the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." After speaking, Rumo got up very easily, removed the wooden pillar that was difficult for ordinary people to move, and then calmly carried Mo Xiaoqin out of the scene of the incident.

Here, Ye Ninglu was dragging a blood-soaked wounded leg in the corner and howling, trying to attract someone's attention, to be precise, Mu Xize's attention.

Because at this time, Mu Xize happened to pass by here, and when he saw this sudden accident, he was very enthusiastic to help rescue the wounded.

After calling for a long time, Mu Xize didn't see Mu Xize glance at her, Ye Ninglu finally used a trick, she shouted directly in the direction of Mu Xize: "Lord Wang, save me! Lord Wang, save me!"

Although there was a lot of noise everywhere, the people around still heard what Ye Ninglu was shouting about, and they all looked around suspiciously, as if they were looking for the "prince" that Ye Ninglu said in his mouth.

Hearing Ye Ninglu shouting to herself so bluntly, Mu Xize could no longer continue to turn a deaf ear, and quickly rushed to her side with a worried face, and asked with concern: "Ninglu, why are you here, how are your injuries?"

can be regarded as getting Mu Xize to his side, Ye Ninglu naturally did not let go of every opportunity, and suddenly fell into Mu Xize's arms, and cried loudly: "Lord Wang, Ning Lu is so afraid, just now Ning Lu thought she was about to die, and she will never see you again!"

Listening to this delicate woman mouthful of the prince, the people around also stopped rescuing, whispering to each other, as if discussing the handsome young man who was called the prince in front of him.

Although he didn't say bad things about himself, he always felt weird when he was talked about like this in public, Mu Xize smiled awkwardly at the onlookers, picked up Ye Ninglu, who had been injured by the collapsed stage, and walked towards the palace.

As soon as she walked out of Yipinju, Ye Ningxiang heard that there was an accident on the stage, and many people were injured by the collapsed stage, and she was not worried about Mo Xiaoqin, so she quickly ran towards the stage.

However, what she didn't expect was that she didn't see Mo Xiaoqin and Rumo, but unfortunately she saw Ye Ninglu and Mu Xize.

When she saw them, Mu Xize was holding Ye Ninglu in her arms and walking slowly. And Ye Ninglu put one hand around Mu Xize's neck, and the other hand gently rested on Mu Xize's chest, looking very ambiguous.

The moment he saw Ye Ningxiang, Mu Xize originally wanted to put Ye Ninglu on the ground, but Ye Ninglu suddenly showed a very painful expression, and tears were still soaking out of the corners of her eyes, "It hurts, Lord Wang, it hurts!"

Seeing her suddenly like this, Mu Xize couldn't bear to put her on the ground like this, so he responded with a polite smile: "Hold on, and you'll be almost at the palace." ”

Ye Ningxiang wanted to say a few words of concern when she saw the injured Ye Ninglu, but seeing that Ye Ninglu was entangled with Mu Xize, she couldn't even say half a good word, and the most she could do was to shut up as much as possible and not speak.

After a long time, after Ye Ningxiang felt a little calmer, she said, "Just now I went to Qi Mansion and put incense on the pillar for Lord Qi, but I didn't see you. ”

"Just going out to do something. ”

Ye Ningxiang didn't want to say this, but she uncontrollably said the vinegar-smelling words.

"Then I just went to see a play, and I just happened to save my poor sister!"

Mu Xize seemed to feel very wronged, obviously he was just passing by by accident, but he was entangled by Ye Ningxiang, the sister who injured her leg, and obviously saw Ye Ningxiang, but his words as a princess were full of * flavor.

He sighed bitterly in his heart, he could completely control it in the court and the opposition, but now he accidentally fell into the trap of a woman, and was overwhelmed by these two women.

In this case, it usually gets darker and darker, but at this time, Ye Ninglu said while sobbing: "Sister, don't get me wrong, Your Highness and I really have nothing to do." ”

Mu Xize didn't say much anymore, and asked bluntly: "Xiao Yezi, are you jealous?"

Hearing Mu Xize ask like this, Ye Ningxiang smiled unnaturally and said, "Nonsense, I don't like you again, how can I eat your jealousy!"
