All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 42 What are you thinking?

Chu Yan frowned slightly, how should he answer this?

Even if it's just a joke, how can you promise such a thing easily to someone.

At this moment, Liu Si's voice came from the ground to Shen Lingxi's ears, "Girl, he lit incense!"

Shen Lingxi raised her sleeve, quickly covered it with her sleeve, and put the pill into her mouth.

Seeing that Chu Yan was still in a daze, she tugged at his sleeves, and tapped her lips with her index finger, signaling him to learn how to take medicine by himself.

Chu Yan:? ? ?
This is to make him wu... wu... kiss her? ? ? ?

absurd.

Excessive.

He took half a step back, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Girl doesn't have to do this, it's better for me to take him back to the north..."

Before the word "Ya" could be uttered, Shen Lingxi quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth, covering his lips with green fingertips.

"Liu Lang, you don't have to say it." She was on the verge of weeping, saddened, "I already know the answer, you and I are love in the end, the flow of water has no meaning, the heart is like iron, I just pretended to be passionate..."

At this moment, Chu Yan realized that she meant to let him take medicine just now.

Thinking of his misunderstanding just now, Chu Yan could only feel the veins on his forehead twitching, and his back stretched straight.

Shen Lingxi didn't notice the strangeness in him, and the tip of her nose keenly smelled a strange fragrance wafting in from nowhere.

It is a thousand pieces of incense.

If she hadn't prepared the antidote in advance, maybe this time it really hit Shen Liang's way.

Chu Yan also smelled the strange fragrance, and then thought of what Shen Lingxi said to him when he first entered the temple——

Although he wondered why Shen Lingxi had calculated Shen Liang's every step so clearly, he also understood that the most important thing right now was to be able to be kidnapped with her, so as to ensure her safety.

Chu Yan tried his best to search for vocabulary, and said a little stiffly, "I don't have any intentions for the girl... It's just that the girl is the daughter of the marquis mansion, and I'm just a poor scholar. You and I really... really..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Shen Lingxi winking at him, and "fainted" and fell into his arms.

"Miss Shen? Miss Shen?"

Chu Yan pretended to be panicked twice, then shook his body, subconsciously hugged Shen Lingxi tightly, and fell to the ground with a "plop" and "fainted".

A moment later, the secret door on the side of the Changsheng Pavilion was opened from the inside, and Shen Liang walked out with a few men in black.

"Hurry up." Shen Liang urged: "After Mu Huai'an comes back later, it will be hard for you to escape."

The man in black stepped forward, trying to pull Shen Lingxi out of the scholar's arms, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the scholar's arm.

"Hey, this man said he refused, but he still hugged him tightly." The man in black said disdainfully: "These sour scholars have nothing good in their bodies, that is, they are stubborn."

Chu Yan: ...

Shen Lingxi: ...

Shen Liang waved his sleeves, "Take this scholar away as well."

He took out an embroidered handkerchief from his lapel and handed it to the man in black, "Tell the pavilion master to lock the two of them together, and when they have a head and tail, threaten her with this man's life and make her stay willingly. That way nothing will go wrong.”

The man in black responded, secretly carried them into the carriage from the secret path, and galloped down the mountain.

Because they used Qianjinxiang, they were sure that the two of them would not wake up, neither tied them up, nor guarded them in the carriage, which made Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan a lot easier.

"What were you thinking just now? Why didn't you take the medicine?" Shen Lingxi said with lingering fear, "If I hadn't had the foresight to grab a handful of medicine in advance, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to follow this time."

"No." Chu Yan's eyes were rarely evasive, "You have been acting since the middle of the mountain, as long as Shen Liang is not a fool, he will arrest me together, so that he can coerce you to do things for him .”

That's true.

Shen Lingxi is used to preparing things with both hands. Even if Chu Yan didn't take the medicine, she still has a way for Shen Liang to take him away.

"It's you..." Chu Yan asked inquiringly, "Every step is calculated in advance, even when Shen Liang burns incense, you have the same score, why is that?"

Shen Lingxi looked at him with a smile, "There is a dead soul watching Shen Liang for me, no matter what Shen Liang does, the dead soul will tell me in time."

Chu Yan was silent.

Only this time, there was no previous look on his face, where he felt that the other party was talking nonsense.

Because Shen Lingxi's remarks now seem to be the most logical.

Otherwise, there is no explanation.

"In this way, Yaoniang's soul taught you your embroidery skills. Liu Si's body was also taught by the soul. At Wanguanfang that day, there was also a soul watching cards for you?" Chu Yan pondered ask.

Wanguanfang?
Shen Lingxi did not expect that he was also present at Wanguanfang that day.

Immediately, she understood that the reason why he rushed to Fu'an Hall overnight and pretended to be a Confucian scholar to test her was probably because she was too conspicuous in Wanguanfang and showed her flaws.

Shen Lingxi blinked her eyes, her clear eyes were shining, it was rare to see a look of surprise and joy.

"You believe me?" she asked.

"Do not believe."

Chu Yan answered truthfully, and seeing the joy in her eyes fade, he subconsciously added seriously: "Although I don't believe what you said, I believe you."

Believe her?

Shen Lingxi laughed again.

If he really believed her, he would not have tempted her like that in Fu'an Hall before.

Shen Lingxi would never be so stupid as to take such jokes seriously.

"Then please, sir, keep it a secret for me." She lowered her eyes and looked worried, "If others find out, I'm afraid they will take me as a person who pretends to be a ghost and deceives the public. Sir, I don't know anything. They also specially gave me a copy of "Zhou Lu Shu Yi", if one day I am accidentally targeted by them and sent to hang me, my little life will be completely over.

Chu Yan's expression froze for a moment.

He cleared his throat, "The embroidered clothes envoy...enforces the law impartially, without evidence, and will not arrest people indiscriminately, the girl can rest assured."

"Borrowing your auspicious words, I hope so." Shen Lingxi sighed.

*
The carriage drove for more than an hour before slowly stopping.

The man in black moved Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan out of the carriage, and according to Shen Liang's instructions, threw them into a wing room and locked the lock on the outside.

Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan both got up and looked around.

This is an attic, like a woman's boudoir, with crimson veils hanging, the air is filled with the fragrance of cosmetics, and the sound of exotic silk and bamboo is faintly heard outside the room.

Shen Lingxi poked open the window paper carefully and looked outside.

I saw a small courtyard under the attic.

At this moment, Liu Si and the dead soul of the magpie were standing in the small courtyard.

They looked around in horror.

Just because beside them, there are many dead souls densely surrounded...
