There is a smile on the face of the painting, but there is a trace of desolation in his heart.

She came to Peony Garden mostly because of him, if he wasn't responsible for the ghostly incident, she didn't want to see him bear this crime for no reason.

Even if he is a demon.

Of course, it is also to capture the real murderer, no matter whether he is a human or a demon, he will definitely bring disaster to the world, if he is let go, the disaster will be endless.

"I came to Peony Garden to investigate the real culprit of the ghost case." Hua Jiao didn't look at him, but his eyes fell on the flowers on the branches not far away.

Perhaps because of the sunlight, the purple flowers reveal a hint of pale pink, which is extremely gorgeous.

"So, you came to Peony Garden to reverse the case for me?" Yu Taiqing asked softly.

The corner of the painting turned to look at him.

At this moment, Yu Taiqing's originally calm black eyes were shining brightly.

Hua Jiao said in a low voice: "If you were the one who colluded with Concubine Xian, why would you go to Ronghua Palace and throw yourself into the trap that day? I think there are other people. I heard that Concubine Xian often came to Peony Garden a few days ago, so I came to have a look Look, maybe we can find some clues."

Yu Taiqing looked at her with a smile, her brows raised: "I'm very happy that you think so."

The red-haired fox had been squatting at Yu Taiqing's feet all this time, now he looked up at the two of them, let out a soft "cut" sound, and glanced sideways at the corner of the painting.

The corner of the painting gave the fox a blank look. A fox demon actually looked down on her so much.It wasn't like this when she was locked in the cage.

Huajiao smiled faintly: "I just don't want the real culprit to go unpunished."

The smile in Yu Taiqing's eyes gradually faded away, and then a little sadness was added.

"Did you ever miss me these days?" He looked at her and asked slowly, but without waiting for her answer, or fearing that she would answer, he said, "In these days, I miss you every day. "

As Yu Taiqing spoke, a suspicious blush floated on her cheeks, because her face was already pale, it was particularly conspicuous, just like the flowers on the branches illuminated by the sun, showing a bright color.

Hua Jiao turned his face away, suppressing the wild beating of his heart.

Yu Taiqing said again: "But I know that I am a monster in your eyes. Even if I am not a heinous crime, I am not of my race. Even if I follow my promise and save your cousin within half a month, you will never talk to me again." Is it?"

The look on his face was sad.

The plain light robe accentuated his slightly sickly appearance, and the jet-black hair hung down and fluttered in the wind on his forehead, looking serene and noble.

How does this look like the arrogant and domineering demon king in the legend?

Hua Jiao also knows that monsters are best at deceiving people, and the appearance in front of you is often mostly an illusion.

However, she felt that he was not.

"They all said that you are the demon king Que Sheng, are you really that? Did you remember?" Hua Jiao asked.

Hua Jiao felt a little anxious. Last time, she asked if you were a demon, but he said that he didn't even know.

This time, she hoped to get a definite answer.

"Hehe!" The fox demon bared her teeth at the corner of the painting and let out a strange cry.

There was a trace of disdain and mockery in this voice.

The red hair all over his body exploded, as if he was about to rush towards the corner of the painting at any moment.

Hua Jiao smiled angrily: "I said fox, if your master hadn't stolen you out of my mansion, you are still imprisoned in a cage in my mansion right now, do you believe that I can lock you in again."

Yu Taiqing looked down at the fox, then raised her hand to stroke the fox's head.

The fox demon suddenly became quiet.

In this world, it really is one thing and one thing.

Yu Taiqing calmed down the angry fox, looked at Huajiao, and said, "Although I haven't remembered it yet, I...but I am sure that I am not Que Sheng, but Qianji."

Huajiao lowered her eyes in dismay, not because she didn't believe his words, but because he didn't remember himself, so how could she believe him?
What if the demon king Que Sheng had two names?

What if both Que Sheng and Qian Ji were him?
"They also said no." Yu Taiqing seemed to see through Huajiao's mind, pointing to the fox demon and the little green snake swimming in the grass not far away.

"Really?" Huajiao smiled slightly, and the curvature of the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.

If the fox demon and the green snake were his subordinates, they would naturally know who he was?

Yu Taiqing fixed her eyes on her face and asked, "You haven't replied to me yet."

Huajiao was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"

"If I'm a demon, are you...will not pay attention to me anymore?"

Huajiao was inexplicably worried.

That's right, if he wasn't the demon king Que Sheng, he didn't seem to be human either, he was probably still a demon.

And she is a demon subduing master, a demon subduing master who subdues monsters!
Uncontrollable panic suddenly spread in her heart.

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer him.

After a long time, she raised her head and smiled at him: "I won't ignore you."

However, the relationship between them is about that.

"Why did you hide in the Peony Garden? Does Princess Jing'an know?" Hua Jiao hurriedly asked, fearing that Yu Taiqing would ask further questions.

Yu Taiqing lowered her head and smiled, and didn't ask any more questions.

He can understand the second half of her unspoken words, he dare not expect any more, so that's good.

At least, she won't abandon him.

He nodded and said, "She knows."

"I see." Hua Jiao smiled, "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness to trust you so much."

It turned out that he had such a good relationship with Princess Jing'an.She actually placed him in the garden without telling the head of the Yuncang faction, which shows that she has great trust in him.

"Lin Lang knows that I am not responsible for the ghost incident, because she knows that I am not familiar with the concubine Xian."

Hua Jiao frowned: "Then, you and Her Royal Highness should find out who that person is, right? But Cui Lanshu?"

*
In the flower pavilion, Cui Lanshu, Xue Jin and two other young ladies were busy making incense.

Huajiao entered the pavilion with a box of peony stamens.

Princess Jing'an leaned on the chair, resting her chin with her left hand, and quietly watched the crowd make incense. When she raised her eyes and saw the corner of the painting coming in, Princess Jing'an straightened up and asked, "Ms. Jiang, did you get the peony stamen?"

Hua Jiao walked forward with the box in his hand, opened the box, and inside were dried golden stamens.

Huajiao said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the color of this pistil does not fade, and the fragrance is strong. It is a good spice for making incense."

Princess Jing'an smiled slightly: "Lady Jiang, you don't have to be polite, just take it and use it yourself."

Huajiao closed the box, thanked her, and glanced around, and caught a glimpse of Cui Lanshu holding a small scale in her hand, weighing spices.

"I don't know what kind of incense you are making today?" Hua Jiao asked.

Xue Jin raised her eyebrows and said, "Huanhunxiang."

Huajiao walked over and saw a lot of spices in various dishes on the long table.

Cui Lanshu put a plate of spices in front of the painting corner, and said with a smile: "Sister Jiang, please help me smash this tiger thorn plum." (End of this chapter)
