The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 57 Haunted
Mentioning the incident during the day, Lin Zisu suddenly remembered that this Xie Xi wanted to plot against him, but thanks to his quick reaction, nothing happened.

Lin Zisu's face turned cold, and she asked, "The lord said last time that he asked the minister's daughter to help him, why did he plot against the minister's daughter today?"

What Xie Xi did during the day can only be said to be a coincidence, even he himself didn't know why he acted like that at that time.

The same is asking for help, but with Lin Zisu, compared with Yang Xingyao's meticulousness, he has always been far behind.

Thinking of this, Xie Xi looked ashamed, and said: "Susu, I'm the king in the daytime, right? I shouldn't tease you, but after all, good and evil will be rewarded, and I have learned a lesson. Just look at me For the sake of the injury on your face, don't bother with me."

As he spoke, he took a Qibao exquisite turmeric tassel Bu Yao from his bosom, handed it to Lin Zisu, and said, "I broke a piece of jewelry for you during the day, and I don't have time to go to the store today to order it. If you find out this jewelry, I will treat it as an apology for you."

Lin Zisu saw that this step was exquisitely crafted and inlaid with all kinds of pearls and gemstones, which looked extraordinary at first glance, so she said calmly, "This gift from Your Highness is too expensive, and my servants dare not accept it. Please take it back, Your Highness."

Since Lin Zisu left the silver building, Xie Xi discussed some things with Yang Xingyao, and hurried back to his mansion, found the jewelry that he had always cherished, and sent it over eagerly.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zisu's attitude was not fake, Xie Xi felt a little bored, he withdrew his hand, pressed the step on the desk, and said: "Yang Xingyao gave you so many shops and houses, you Naturally, I don’t like this jewelry.”

These words were sour, and Lin Zisu could hear a hint of ambiguity in his words, and said coldly: "Your Highness, you don't have to use this to disgust me. Yang Shizi is a man of glory, and he always treats me with respect. I treat each other with courtesy, so don't get me wrong. Besides, I never thought of taking over his shops and houses. "

Xie Xi finally returned to his usual smile, and some strange expressions flashed across his face, and he said, "I knew that Su Su was never a greedy person, and I really did not misunderstand the person."

Lin Zisu pouted secretly, with a look of disdain.Yang Xingyao was tied to the rise and fall of his family and country, and he had to save him. He also considered that with his current status, it was really inappropriate to involve him too much.

But Xie Xi is different, he is just an idle prince, besides, he has no respect for himself, since he wants more than himself, then he must not be allowed to do what he wants, no matter what, he has to pay some price. .

A smile appeared on Lin Zisu's face, and he said, "My lord really misjudged the person. I remember that His Highness once told the court lady that Yang Shizi has a special status and cannot get too close to him. The court lady will always remember it in her heart." , Therefore, it is inconvenient for me to accept his things. However, His Royal Highness, I did not refuse to accept your things. "

As she spoke, she picked up the walking stick on the desk, and looked at it for a while under the lamp. Under the light, the scattered gems shone with colorful light.

Lin Zisu nodded with a smile, and said, "The workmanship of this step is really good, so I will accept it reluctantly."

The dim candlelight shone on Lin Zisu's face, reflecting Lin Zisu's bright smile. Xie Xi was in a very happy mood, and said, "Listen to my nanny, this is a token left by my mother. I never From the age of five to the present, I will leave it to you for safekeeping in the future."

Lin Zisu naturally knew about Xie Xi's background. Xie Xi's mother was originally a court lady, and because the emperor got pregnant with Xie Xi after being drunk, she got a seat in the harem.

Hearing that Xie Xi said it was his mother's relic, Lin Zisu felt a little uncomfortable on his face, and said coyly, "Since it is Lingtang's relic, it means a lot to you, His Highness should keep it for your consideration."

Lin Zisu said, and put the step back on the desk.Seeing Lin Zisu's embarrassed face, Xie Xi laughed, and said, "You stupid girl, you can believe whatever I tell you! I think you have heard about my mother's identity, how can she be around her old man? Is there such a precious thing?"

Lin Zisu felt powerless for a moment, she had never seen such a person who actually joked about her mother, and said it in a decent way.

Xie Xi glanced at her, and said: "But I didn't lie to you, my nanny did say so, and I believed it completely at the time, and hid it close to me for several years. But it was only later that I realized that those words were just A lie made up by others."

"In the palace, it's really hard to tell the real from the fake, the real from the fake, and the real from the fake. The person you think is close to you may be the one who is waiting to stab you at the end. You think the person who turned against you , maybe they will give you a hand in a critical moment."

Hearing this, Lin Zisu thought Xie Xi was talking about what happened to her in the past, and couldn't help being shocked.But seeing that Xie Xi's eyes were scattered and he didn't look at her, I realized that Xie Xi was just expressing his feelings.

Thinking of my previous life, as Xie Xi said, I thought I got what I wanted, but in the end I was tricked by my lover, it is really stupid and pitiful.

Xie Xi smiled again, but this time the smile was a little desolate, he pointed at Bu Yao and said: "I was going to give this object as a gift, but it's a pity...well, it doesn't mean anything to me anyway. If it makes sense, you can keep it, and treat it as a deposit for me to ask you to do something."

Speaking of doing things, Xie Xi only then thought of the purpose of his trip.

He suppressed the emotions on his face and said with a serious face: "Susu, I want to ask you a question. If a person has intermittent headaches, once they attack, they will have more than one headache. Have you ever seen this kind of disease in books? Pass?"

Lin Zisu was still immersed in the memories of her previous life, and she hadn't changed for a while. When Xie Xi suddenly asked about her illness, she froze for a moment and said: "The human mind is the most complicated place. Among the medical books from ancient times to the present , There are no less than a hundred records of headache symptoms, what you said is so general, I really can't answer it. Only when I see the patient's condition when it occurs, can I draw a conclusion."

Xie Xi nodded and said, "What you said is also reasonable. I will arrange this matter. There is no need to rush."

Seeing Xie Xi's seriousness, Lin Zisu was quite suspicious of the patient's identity. Just now Xie Xi even made fun of his mother. Who else deserves Xie Xi's attention?

Is it the emperor?Lin Zisu remembered that the emperor he met two months ago had a ruddy complexion and was full of energy, but he didn't look like he was seriously ill.

If the person Xie Xi was talking about was the emperor, then the emperor either suddenly had an emergency or was poisoned chronically.

The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, which is related to the stability of the country. Whether it is an emergency or poisoning, if it happens to the emperor, the world will be in chaos.

Forget it, don't guess, just let this Xie Xi make troubles.

The night was dim and everything was silent, and the sound of gusts of wind passing through the bamboo forest could be heard from time to time outside the window.The moonlight outside the window was getting darker, and the shadows of the candles in the study flickered. Only then did Lin Zisu realize that the candle on the desk seemed to be burning out. She raised her eyes to look at Xie Xi, and said, "It will be three o'clock Now, Your Highness, you should go back."

As soon as Lin Zisu's voice fell, the sound of drums from the third watch came, Xie Xi's face suddenly felt a little lonely, and his voice suddenly softened, and said: "Susu, I'm bothering you tonight, we Wei See you at the poetry meeting in the palace."

Xie Xi was polite for no reason, and Lin Zisu was not used to it, so he just said lightly: "Your Highness, please go, forgive me, I can't send you far away."

Lin Zisu's words were bland and tasteless, Xie Xi was a little bit reluctant.He had already lifted his feet to leave, but turned around suddenly, stretched out his hand to caress Lin Zisu's cheek, then withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "Susu, for some reason, this king is reluctant to leave. "

His frivolous behavior undoubtedly annoyed Lin Zisu.Lin Zisu didn't care if she was rude or not, she stretched out her hand and patted Xie Xi's palm, scolding: "Your Highness, my servants have always been polite to you, if you think I'm that frivolous woman who just wants to be frivolous For me, then our agreement is over."

She slapped her palm, purely out of anger, and did whatever she wanted, without thinking of hitting Xie Xi.Unexpectedly, Xie Xi did not dodge or dodge, and hit Xie Xi's waist with a slap. Xie Xi suddenly screamed, bent down, pointed at Lin Zisu and said in pain: "Susu, you Why, such a ruthless hand?"

Lin Zisu didn't expect to use such a lot of strength. She raised her hand and saw that the palm of her hand was red. It was obvious that she had used a lot of strength just now, and her hand was still like this, let alone Xie Xi was hit. parts.

However, even if he tried his best, he wouldn't beat Xie Xi like this if he had never practiced martial arts in this life, right?
Seeing that she was suspicious, Xie Xi struggled to straighten up and said, "Do you still remember those two bags of grain behind you when you fell down during the day? At that time, I was afraid that you would be injured, so I threw those two bags of grain behind you. I didn't want to twist my waist. Just now your palm just hit my sore spot."

Hearing that Xie Xi said that she was injured to save herself, Lin Zisu felt a little guilty again, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to it just now, so it didn't matter. Is your injury not a problem?"

Seeing some concern on Lin Zisu's face, Xie Xi was satisfied, and immediately put on a smug expression, and laughed loudly: "Susu, I'm talking nonsense with you, and you can believe it, those two bags Grain, how could you hurt me? With your little hand, it’s almost enough to scratch me, how could you hurt me!"

Lin Zisu stomped her feet angrily, this Xie Xi didn't say a few words of truth, thanks to the slightest bit of regret, she didn't expect to be playing tricks on herself again!
She was about to reprimand Xie Xi, but before she could speak, Xie Xi had already left the door in a hurry, without giving her a chance to speak at all.

I shouldn't be polite to him!
Lin Zisu cursed in her heart, and was about to tidy up the books on the table, then went to take a bath and rest, lowered her head, and saw Bu Yao lying on the desk, thinking of the life experience Xie Xi just mentioned, the resentment in her heart eased a little, It touches some sympathy for each other.

This night was extremely short, Lin Zisu fell asleep when he was young, and was awakened by the noise outside before Maoshi, and only heard a chattering sound outside his room.

"It was really haunted last night. As soon as I lay down, I saw a ghost floating in front of me, and then I fainted from fright."

"Me too. I was smoking the girl's clothes. It was dark in front of my eyes, and I didn't know what happened next, but I woke up early this morning and fell asleep on the bed. It was like a dream."

"Lve Ying, why didn't you speak, you were the first to wake up, did you notice anything wrong?"

Lve Ying was usually taciturn, and the other two maids were also used to it. Seeing her silent, they didn't care.The three of them stood at Lin Zisu's door, knocked on the door, and shouted together: "Miss!"

The two servant girls, Hu Po and Fei Cui, were still worried and didn't realize that Lve Ying's voice was so low that it was barely audible.

Lin Zisu called the three of them into the house, and when Amber got to the bed, she asked, "Miss, our room was haunted last night, how are you doing here?"

Lin Zisu sat up from the bed, Hu Po hurriedly brought up a pillow and put it behind Lin Zisu.Lin Zisu leaned on the pillow, her sleepy eyes were still hazy, her face was full of laziness, and she said, "I went to bed early last night, what happened? ghost?"

Amber and Jade glanced at each other. Although the lady said so, they still believed in the fact that there was a ghost in their hearts.Hu Po thinks even more that her eldest lady is possessed, and even Master Lingyun of Yuanjue Temple is in awe of her own lady, and demons and ghosts must not dare to provoke her own lady; Evil people will only bully honest people like himself and Fei Cui.

Lin Zisu asked a few more questions, then straightened her arms, yawned, and said, "I'm fine here, so Lve Ying will stay here for a while, you two go quickly."

Lve Ying took Xie Xi's sweat medicine yesterday, and finally Lin Zisu woke her up with a bowl of cold water. After she woke up, under Lin Zisu's instructions, she moved the fainted Amber and Jade to the bed.

Lve Ying didn't sleep peacefully all night, and fell into deep self-blame. Although Lin Zisu never blamed her, she was the guard next to the young lady, but Xie Xi took advantage of her again and again, which was really embarrassing.

At this time there were only two people left in the room, Lve Ying felt ashamed after all, and did not dare to look at Lin Zisu's expression.

Lin Zisu saw that she was ashamed, and sighed, "If we see Xie Xi again in the future, there is no need to stop him."

Lve Ying thought that Lin Zisu was blaming her for not being good at learning, so she knelt down and said in a low voice, "Miss, this time it's my servant who is careless. If he comes again next time, this servant will definitely not let her harass you."

Lin Zisu shook her head and said, "It's not necessary. You can stop him for a while, but you can't stop him forever. If he wants to come, just let him come."

Come whenever you want, Miss, what do you think?Lve Ying murmured in his heart, such a man, going in and out of his lady's boudoir at night, should the lady let him?

Lve Ying was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Miss, are you really...interested in him?"
