Chapter 113 I Haven't Been Treated Worthily, and I Haven't Been Sincere

Shen Lingxi asked A Yuan to send Zhao Dong away, and then waved to Yu Zhu and Wang An outside the window.

The two of them floated in one after the other. Wang An looked at the white cloth screen in front of him, and the silhouette of the woman cut out of animal skin in the bag, and finally fully understood what happened when he saw the dead soul of his mother and concubine. thing.

Shen Lingxi explained to the young man softly, "I once saw Zhao Dong's concubine in Changsheng, and I got some details about Zhenniang's daily life from the servants of Duke Wei's mansion, so I can use candle shadows and voice , to imitate Zhenniang's dead soul, to confuse the real with the fake."

"On the contrary, it was you. When Concubine Lian passed away, you were not yet one year old, and your impression of Concubine Lian was only based on hearsay. Immortal Zhang wanted to imitate Concubine Lian in front of you, and it was easy to do..."

Wang An's face was pale, "But, ever since I saw the soul of my concubine, I can dream of her every day. How can this be explained?"

"Think about it every day, dream at night." Shen Lingxi looked into his eyes, "You have been by my side these few days, you should know that I only came to the Duke's Mansion for the first time, with Zhenniang and Yuzhu scared Zhao Dong once."

"Later in the mansion, I will pretend that I can really see ghosts, and he will believe my words, and also believe that he is being haunted by the ghosts of Zhenniang and Yuzhu, so he can't sleep or eat, and can't sleep at night. Could it be that Yuzhu really went to him Are you entangled in a dream?"

Wang An shook his head, as if he understood something, and complex emotions appeared in his eyes bit by bit.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi said again: "Just now I asked Zhao Dong to assassinate Zhuying with his own sword. He must have been convinced in his heart that Zhenniang's soul is dead. Presumably after tonight, he will never dream of Zhenniang again."

"At the end of the day, the 'calling on the soul' made by this kind of cheating magic stick is fake, and the real thing is calculating people's hearts."

"No need to say anymore..." Wang An covered his eyes with his white hands, his lips trembling slightly, "So, from the beginning to the end, the mother and concubine never came back, everything was their conspiracy and my imagination...I completely understand I'm so stupid, so stupid that I can't be cured..."

"It's not your fault." Yuzhu said softly, "Even the princess and I can be tricked by them. You are only 15 years old. No one taught you to guard against these treacherous people since you were young. How can you avoid it?"

Shen Lingxi echoed, "You miss your dead mother because you are pure and filial. If you don't think about your mother after her death, then you are a person who is cold-blooded and ruthless. Compared with you, those who make a big fuss about your dead mother A person who is really inferior to a beast."

"Your Highness, there is no need to underestimate yourself, I will seek justice for you. Those who have malicious intentions and trample on others' filial piety at will, I will definitely not make it easy for them."

The boy clenched his hands into fists and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his eyes were full of determination.

He bowed to Shen Lingxi, "Miss Shen, I would like to tell the truth about everything, please help me avenge."

*
Zhao Dong left Jinxiu Pavilion. That night, he believed that Zhenniang was dead, and he did not dream of Zhenniang again.

However, the dismembered Yu Zhu became Zhao Dong's lingering nightmare.

Because of this, the method of killing Yuzhu's dead soul that Zhang Xianren said became what Zhao Dong urgently wanted to do.

It is not a secret that Yuzhu's body is stored in Fu'an Hall.

But if you want to take the corpse out of Fu'an Hall, you have to pass the test of the eldest princess first.

In addition, it is not easy to "practice" in the attic of Prince An's Mansion.

It is necessary to report to the queen, and perhaps to disturb the emperor's permission.

What's more, Zhang Xianren also mentioned that "dragon energy should be used to suppress".

In this world, the only person who bears the spirit of a dragon is the Son of Heaven.

In other words, if you want to get rid of the dead soul of Yuzhu, you have to invite the emperor to sit in charge.

This is harder.

Zhao Dong thought about it, and finally persuaded Concubine Zhao to ask the emperor to ask the emperor to ask Zhang Xianchang to perform another ritual ceremony for King An in the name of "Yuzhu's body disturbing King An's spiritual throne", and Concubine Zhao also went together.

The emperor has always been very appreciative of Zhang Xianchang's spells. Hearing this, he also decided to watch.

In this way, Yu Zhu's body, which had died in Fu'an Hall, was ordered to be transported to Prince An's Mansion without the consent of the eldest princess.

Everything is developing as Shen Lingxi expected.

When she walked up to the attic of Prince An's Mansion for the third time as "Zhang Immortal"——
I finally saw what it looked like when the young man said, "When I died, this attic was covered with talisman papers..." when I first saw the dead soul of King An.

Shen Lingxi asked Ah Yuan to restore the layout of the attic after King An's death.

Everywhere you can see, there are talisman papers written with cinnabar.

On the wooden floor of the attic, centered on the hanging beam on which Wang An hanged himself, a circle of black dog blood was used to draw a gossip pattern.

In the specific position of the gossip map, there are also boys and girls made of paper.

The entire attic was arranged like a spooky, witchcraft ritual scene.

At this moment, it was still early, and everyone went to the front gate of Prince An's Mansion to welcome the nobleman.

The attic was eerily quiet and empty.

The moonlight shines through the wide-open window lattice and sprinkles on the floor.

The soul of a young man is stepping barefoot on those filthy black dog blood.

Originally pure and innocent eyes, because of knowing the truth, a lot of resentment arose.

He recounted what he had encountered in a very sad tone——
"I have never received maternal love since I was a child. Although Concubine Wen brought me up to ten years old, she only used me as a tool to fight for favor. She would only smile at me when my father was around."

"After she died of illness, I was taken into the palace by the concubine. People in the palace used to praise the high and trample the low. Some people always whispered in my ears that I was born with an ominous fate, and that I was the fate of the lone star of the evil spirit."

"It is an unlucky person to say that I killed my mother's family when I was less than one year old. They also said that the Liang family was collaborating with the enemy, so my father hated me extremely in my heart. They also predicted that one day, everyone who treats me well will Died for no reason..."

Shen Lingxi frowned slightly when she heard the words "the lonely star of the evil spirit".

For no reason, she suddenly thought of Chu Yan.

Chu Yan lost his mother at the age of ten and lived in the deep palace for a long time. Has he ever encountered such a thing?

"Sometimes, hearsay cannot be taken seriously." Shen Lingxi pondered and said, "It is said that you were enlightened at the age of six and entered school at the age of ten, so you should know what it means to 'look at the reason, see the reason, and observe what is safe.' , 1 to distinguish the authenticity."

"That's right." The young man nodded, "I didn't believe it at first, but after Concubine Wen and Brother Eight Emperor died of illness, the people who served me died unexpectedly one by one. I couldn't help but believe it."

He looked up at Shen Lingxi, "Now that I think about it, they never wanted me to live well from the beginning, so they brought me into a dead end step by step."

Shen Lingxi moved her lips, not knowing what to say.

In the deep palace, a prince who has lost the protection of his mother's family can only rely on the emperor.

But now it seems that the emperor, the father, is not competent at all.

Shen Lingxi hesitated for a while, "I heard His Royal Highness Prince Ning said that the emperor has never treated you badly, and the eldest princess is also protecting you."

"Although father has never treated me badly, he has never really cared about me." He said calmly.

When the eldest princess was mentioned, the young man's eyes became a little gentler, "My aunt is very kind to me. When she took me out of the palace for a short stay, it was my happiest day. And... Consort Cui, and the Zhao family, I have never Never felt any ill will from them."

"On the contrary, they gave me the warmth of my family. Cui Jin was always afraid that I would be bored, so he searched for interesting things for me. Mrs. Wei Guogong would arrange a table of dishes every time, coaxing me to eat more. Even Zhao Dong In order to make me laugh, he is willing to lie on the ground and let me ride him like a horse..."

Speaking of this, the young man smiled, and tears glistened in his crystal eyes, "Look, how ironic, after ten years old, in this short five years, what gave me warmth was actually wanting me A man of life. And my biological father, on weekdays, never even gave me a look of encouragement..."
