Chapter 168: Plea

In another mansion in Tianyu City, Madame Ming Qi rubbed her sleepy eyes and found herself sleeping in a gazebo in the backyard, with a thick blanket draped over her shoulders, and a strange flame burning beside her.

She reached out and touched it in a daze, and found that it was a ball of spiritual power, which made the temperature around her very warm.

The banquet in the courtyard was stained with dew, and except for a few plates of pastries, the rest of the wine and food were untouched.

"Ahh

"Madame fell asleep in the cold night, so it's better to slow down when she wakes up suddenly. An unfamiliar woman's voice sounded in her ears, and Mrs. Ming Qi grabbed her hand in a daze, and the darkness in front of her finally dissipated little by little.

"Ah...... Miss Feng didn't rest?" Mrs. Ming Qi finally sobered up, and was silent for a long time, then she remembered that she invited Feng Ji to her home yesterday, and prepared a table of delicious food for people to go to Tianzheng Mansion to find Xiao'er and Qianye together, but I didn't expect that Feng Siniang was assassinated at dusk, and before the night Wind Lord was poisoned again, and in the middle of the night, the warning lights of the whole city were lit without warning, and the news came from the Governor's Mansion that Gao Chengchuan was avenged by the military pavilion lord and had died.

But in one day, from Kong Changshi in the morning to Gao Chengchuan, four people died in the imperial capital!

Mrs. Ming Qi held her forehead, bit her lip gently, her eyes became sharp, and she quickly swept across the yard, her son Ye Zhuofan left in a hurry after getting the news last night and has not returned, her daughter Ye Xue should still be resting after recovering from a serious illness, and now there are only two people in the backyard of the Ye family.

She looked at the plates of pastries and a pot of wine in the gazebo, and turned to Feng Ji in some surprise.

Feng Ji leaned on the other side, holding the delicate little wine glass in her hand, looking at her with a smile on her eyebrows, and then raised her hand to raise her glass and took a sip of wine.

"Ah...... This ......" Mrs. Ming Qi suddenly felt a little weak, subconsciously picked up another wine glass and poured herself full of wine, raised her hand to return a glass, opened her mouth hesitantly, and didn't know how to speak.

She originally invited Feng Ji to come to the house as a guest for a purpose, and deliberately asked her son to go to Tianzheng Mansion to invite someone to know that the relationship between Feng Ji and Xiao'er wanted to be close, but she didn't expect that so many big things would happen one after another last night, so that she swallowed back a few times when she wanted to speak, and in a blink of an eye, the sky was already bright, Feng Ji not only did not leave, but really accompanied her to have a few drinks, until her sleepiness gradually rose and fell asleep, she also used the fire of the spirit phoenix to warm herself and prevent herself from catching a cold.

Mrs. Ming Qi secretly glanced at Feng Ji, and muttered in her heartβ€”she wouldn't have seen her careful thoughts a long time ago and deliberately waited for her to speak here, right?

"Huh...... Madame, let's get to the point. Feng Ji shook her wine glass and said with a smile, "You are the first person to invite me to your house, if there is anything you need my help with, but it doesn't matter." ”

Mrs. Ming Qi paused for a few seconds, looked up, and suddenly Huo Di stood up and walked over, held her hand hard, and knelt directly in front of her with a plop, her voice trembling: "I'm sorry, I do have my own selfishness to deliberately invite you to my house, I have something to ask for, please help me!"

"Madame, please get up!" was jumped by her sudden movements, Feng Ji hurriedly wanted to help Mrs. Mingqi, the other party shook his head firmly, his eyes were inexhaustible helpless, and he held her tightly, "My daughter Ye Xue, since five years ago, suffered from a strange disease called narcolepsy, often can't wake up, as short as a few days, as long as a few months, I have invited a lot of doctors over the years, but I can't find out the reason, Ah Xue's body has become very weak because of this disease, I am really worried that one day she will really not wake up......"

Mrs. Ming Qi gasped violently, her body kept shaking, and she muttered dreamily: "Her waking time is getting shorter and shorter, and her weight is less than half of that of a normal girl's family. ”

"Narcolepsy?" Feng Ji frowned slightly, she was not a doctor, and naturally she had never heard of the name of this strange disease, but it was just a disease that the Ye family, one of the three powerful people in the imperial capital, could not be cured, why did she come to beg her?

"Ayuki...... Ah Xue's may not be a disease at all. Mrs. Ming Qi deliberately lowered her tone, her expression suddenly became strange, since her daughter was ill five years ago, she was first treated in Danzhen Palace, and she couldn't find the cause of the disease for a long time, she took her daughter to Snow City, and the doctors in the city couldn't cure it, she even put down her body to find the fine snow valley outside, but still found nothing, five years have passed, her daughter's condition has not improved at all, and her body has become extremely thin because of long-term sleep, looking like a little girl in her teens.

Mrs. Ming Qi lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, her fingers clenched Feng Ji in pain, in order to treat her daughter over the years, she had almost personally run through the four realms of Feiyuan, but invisibly there seemed to be something that had been preventing her from finding the truth.

"I thought about taking her to Kunlun with me, Xiao'er's mother and I are good friends, she will definitely help me, but ......" Mrs. Ming Qi let go of her hand, sat on the ground like a broken up, covered her face with her hands, and cried in her tone that was difficult to hide, "The Central Plains is far away, and the climate near Kunlun is harsh, Ah Xue's body really can't support it for so long, I don't dare to take risks, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what will happen on the road, I don't even have time to save her." ”

Feng Ji couldn't answer, and the richly dressed lady in front of her just cried helplessly like a mother who was usually worried about her child.

After a long while, Mrs. Ming Qi finally calmed down, and her tear-stained eyes suddenly showed a bright light, and said sternly: "But I wrote to Qiushui about this, hoping that she would tell the Qingqiu Zhenren of Kunlun, because the four peak masters of Kunlun often go out to travel, and there has been no news for many years, and I didn't have any hope, who knew that Qiushui replied to me, saying let me try to find a master of magic, Ah Xue's illness is probably not a disease at all!"

"Oh?" Feng Ji's eyes sank, thoughtfully, Qiushui was Yun Xiao's mother, who had served as the master of ceremonies in Feiyuan's Jialuo Bai Sect, and her husband was Feng Jiuqing, it was not unusual for that woman to have a certain understanding of Feiyuan's techniques.

Mrs. Ming Qi's eyes suddenly became shrewd, and then she had a unique gaze of a strong woman, she took out a list that had been prepared long ago from her arms and handed it to Feng Ji, and said urgently: "The four major realms of Feiyuan have their own good spells, in order not to startle the snake, I can only privately investigate what spells can make people sleepy, this is some of the information I have found in the past few years, you, you are the head of the hundred spirits, I heard that the breath of the spirit phoenix will repel evil arts, so ...... That's why I took great pains to invite you to the house. ”

Mrs. Ming Qi rubbed her hands a little embarrassed, Feng Ji took the things in her hand, looked at them carefully, and glanced at them in surprise.

There is a clear gap between martial arts and magic, but where there is a powerful sword technique, most users are proud of it, and will not deliberately conceal it, and even become famous all over the world, but the practice of magic, if accompanied by some vicious processes and unexpected consequences, the caster will generally not publicize it, so the warlock is always more mysterious and dark than the swordsman, and this investigation ranges from the insect control technique of the Jialuo Bai Sect to the soul art of the East Underworld, the sacrificial art of Yangchuan, and even some witchcraft unique to the alien race!

Feng Ji was a little distracted, and smiled at the corners of her mouth, and was also moved by the forbearance on her body, is this a woman's strength as a mother?

"That ......" Mrs. Mingqi also pulled the corners of her mouth with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes, and asked nervously, "Can you help see Ah Xue's situation?" Xiao'er came to see her before, but she faintly felt something in her body, but she couldn't say the specifics, I was afraid that she would be worried and didn't tell her the truth, you are Xiao'er's sister, a pure-blooded Lingfeng clan, you help me, help me!"

Feng Ji sighed slightly: "The breath of the spirit phoenix is indeed the fire of the divine bird, and it will instinctively repel evil arts, but if the other party intends to target Miss Ye, I am afraid that all preparations have been made long ago......"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Mrs. Ming Qi hurriedly answered, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she would never give up, gritted her teeth, "Ah Xue has started to get better recently, if she doesn't relapse this month, I will consider taking her to Kunlun, even if someone deliberately targets Ah Xue, I don't believe he can follow him to the Central Plains!"

Feng Ji paused, raised her head, and suddenly smiled: "Madame lead the way, I drank a pot of good wine from you, and I always have to repay the favor." ”

A boulder in Mrs. Mingqi's heart finally landed, showing a relieved smile, and hurriedly led Feng Ji to Ye Xue's boudoir.

"Madame......" The little girl who took care of Ye Xue gently covered the door, and as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Mrs. Mingqi's arms, she rubbed her forehead, and saw that Madame was coming with Feng Ji, so she hurriedly and cautiously retreated a few steps, blocked the door hesitantly, and whispered, "Madam, there is not much incense in the house, Miss can't smell the fragrance for a long time before falling asleep, don't go in at this time and wake up again......"

"Do you want Miss to fall asleep all the time?" Mrs. Ming Qi was angry when she heard this, and directly raised her hand to blast the little girl away, turned around and smiled, "The little girl can't speak, don't pay attention to her." ”

Feng Ji just glanced at the little girl who ran away in a hurry out of the corner of her eye, and found that she subconsciously turned her head around the corner, her eyes and movements were straight, and she was a little weirdly stiff.

Feng Ji followed Mrs. Ming Qi into Ye Xue's boudoir, and sure enough, she saw a delicate aromatherapy stove on the table in the room, and even carved lifelike butterflies with green jade, Mrs. Ming Qi reached out to test the aromatherapy furnace, lifted the lid and took a look, sighed and explained: " Ah Xue has liked this kind of aromatherapy since she was a child, and she has to smell it to sleep peacefully, and then she got this strange disease, I wanted to withdraw the aromatherapy, but who would have thought that as long as she didn't light the incense for a day, she would cry in her sleep all the time, as if she was doing some terrible nightmare, but she couldn't wake up. ”

Mrs. Ming Qi put down the aromatherapy stove, approached the bed lightly, sat on Ye Xue's pillow and gently touched her daughter's cheek.

Feng Ji gently touched the jade butterfly on the aromatherapy stove, only to see the butterfly's eyes suddenly light up, and then when she looked closely, it seemed that the scene just now was just her own illusion, she quietly withdrew her hand, walked in and asked, "Who usually takes care of Miss Ye?"

"She's like this, why do you need someone to take care of her. Mrs. Ming Qi smiled bitterly and continued to murmur, "Now I am taking care of it personally, and I usually change the fragrance It is the little girl just now, called Sisi, she has been in my house for more than ten years, and she is Ah Xue's accompanying girl." ”

Feng Ji didn't say anything, Mrs. Ming Qi helped her daughter up, and was about to roll up her sleeves for her to see, but Feng Ji waved her hand: "I'm not a doctor, I don't understand these things, Mrs. just let Miss Ye continue to fall asleep." ”

"Oh, good, good. Mrs. Ming Qi hurriedly did so, there was still a worry between her eyebrows, although Ah Xue's condition improved slightly, but every time she fell asleep, she slept very deeply, even if she walked in and helped her up, she would not wake up at all.

Feng Ji folded up her sleeves, she Ming Qi looked at her in surprise, there was a huge phoenix tattoo on her arm, but there was only a small half of the tail, the rest of the part should be on the body, Feng Ji gently rubbed her fingers on the skin, only to see a trace of mist floating on the snow-white arm, and then a wisp of flames ignited, she hooked her finger and pointed to Ye Xue who was sleeping on the bed, and before Mrs. Ming Qi could react, a blazing phoenix with flames burning all over her body roared out of her body and pounced on Ye Xue!

Mrs. Ming Qi covered her mouth to prevent herself from exclaiming in shock - the blazing phoenix is really raised in the body and feeds on bones and blood!

The divine bird stretched its wings to wrap Ye Xue, and Feng Ji was also quietly perceiving the strange appearance faintly coming from Miss Ye's body.

Something...... Indeed, as Mrs. Ming Qi said, there is something mysterious that she can't say.

Feng Ji frowned slightly, she had already realized that this matter was not simple, except for the strange thing on the Ye family's body, there were other things in this room that were affecting her perception, and even the moment she used the spell, her brain appeared a brief blank.

Feng Ji's eyes rolled slightly, and her confused eyes suddenly cleared, and she looked directly at the butterfly on the incense burner - her eyes lit up again, as if someone was secretly observing everything.

"Come back, Blazing Sky. The corners of Feng Ji's mouth raised, and she casually recalled the phoenix, and Mrs. Ming Qi hurriedly followed, nervously asking, "How, Ah Xue...... Did Ah Xue really fall for some kind of spell?"

"Hmm. Feng Ji nodded affirmatively, Mrs. Ming Qi paced anxiously, and just wanted to say something when Feng Ji directly interrupted, "Let me take this aromatherapy furnace away, I have to find someone to confirm." ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Ming Qi was puzzled, and Huo Ran raised her eyes to look at her.

Feng Ji just smiled lightly, and said something that made her jaw drop in shock: "This kind of Tulip Diffuser should come from the Valley of Confinement in the Eastern Underworld, but it is a little different, I want to take some for the gods there to see for themselves, maybe it will be good for Miss Ye." ”

Mrs. Mingqi's face turned pale as paper the moment she heard these two words, and she bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time - she had always had doubts about one thing, but she always forced herself not to think in the worst direction, Ah Xue's illness was suffered without warning after she was engaged to Gongsun Yan five years ago, and Gongsun Yan ...... Originally, it was the Eastern Underworld!
