Qingqiu is difficult

"I remember his name." Seeing the person in front of him like this, Zijing couldn't bear it. "It's not your fault that you don't remember. If you want to remember, I can tell you his name!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Xin Yi's eyes: "Really?"

"Yes." Zijing helped her to the bedside, "But before that, you have to tell me how you know about cutting out the gallbladder to detoxify?"

Lu Xinyi held Zijing's arm tightly, and her eyes began to turn red. For a moment, so many emotions came to her heart that she didn't know where to start.

Taking this opportunity, he felt her pulse: "What did that man say that made you so anxious?"

Lu Xinyi smiled miserably, and Feng Danyun said lightly, "Ling told me."

Speaking of that name, she breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down, and then slowly said:

"Ling was poisoned by snake venom and there was no cure. He originally planned to take out my heart to make a medicine introduction, but he said that since I had eaten another person's blood, he could no longer kill me."

Although she didn't see Zijing's alert eyes, she clearly felt his hand tighten.

"But weren't you the one who came here those nights?" she asked.

Zijing was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists and remained silent for a long time.

"It's not me who's here..."

Xin Yi's heart tightened, and Zijing frowned and whispered: "What you said reminds me of something. Do you still remember the person in the stable?"

"The man called 'Sick Horse'?"

"Yes." Zijing nodded, "In the Chu State, there is a kind of witchcraft that can peel off a person's shadow like a soul and use it to escape, just like a gecko cutting off its tail to survive."

He slowly walked to the window and continued: "That day, a horse boy confronted Yuejun Nasen in the street. Although he was alone, he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and refused to back down. His swordsmanship was superb and he was invincible to anyone. However, In the end, they were still outnumbered.

Then Nasen couldn't bear to kill him, seriously injured him and abandoned him outside the city, but the Duke captured him and brought him back to the Duke's Mansion, ostensibly for the sake of Yuejun's safety..."

"Actually, it's to cultivate a killer for yourself?" She raised her eyes and looked at him, her heart tightening.

Zijing stared and nodded:

"But they never expected that the young man would rather die than surrender. Under the beating, the young man took off his flesh clothes in front of everyone and split his body into two. His shadow was bound in the iron chain, but his body flew away. .”

Lu Xinyi was shocked: "There is such a magic in the world!"

Zijing turned around and looked at Xin Yi: "What's even more unexpected is what's behind. They far underestimated the ability of the shadow. Although the shadow can't speak and has a paint-like face, it has the ability to possess the body. The Crown Prince of the Duke's Mansion - —Ling, as you said, young and frail."

"So, Shadow chooses Ling as the best object to possess?"

He breathed a sigh of relief and saw Lu Xinyi froze on the spot. After a long while, he shook his head and murmured to himself:

"No wonder, no wonder, he kept saying, 'He' is another 'him'. It seems that the shadow came back, possessed him, and then saved me."

Zijing stepped forward, put his hand slowly on her shoulder, and comforted: "You saved Yingying. Yingying knows how to repay his kindness, and it is appropriate for him to return his kindness to you."

A flash of distress suddenly flashed in Lu Xinyi's heart. If it was just to repay a favor, Shadow had already done enough. The kindness of feeding blood, the love of companionship, stepping forward at critical moments, and so on. He didn't know how much kindness he had repaid her. .

Now that the truth is revealed, half of the stone in her heart has fallen to the ground.

She turned back and looked at Zijing: "So, what's going on with the snake god?"

Zijing's face flashed with confusion for a moment, he turned his head, withdrew his hand, and said haha: "I know a big snake demon who used to be a general in Emperor Jing's army, but he has been asleep for hundreds of years, Ling said. Cutting the gallbladder to detoxify is sheer nonsense!"

Lu Xinyi lowered his head and thought for a long time, then finally shook his head and just asked: "What's his name?"

"Oh, he...his name is Yu, Yu Jingmo." Zijing stammered, not daring to look into her eyes.

Lu Xinyi looked at Zijing's expression: "Why are you so hesitant about him?"

Zijing pretended to be calm and said: "Of course! In our Snake Clan, this is the name of our clan leader. If I say it to you without any explanation today, I have already committed a crime of great disrespect!"

Lu Xinyi nodded, thoughtfully.

"Dong dong dong——" There was a knock on the door, and Li Si asked at the door:

"Boss Lu, the Duke's Mansion has sent someone to ask you if you want to reject them?"

Lu Xinyi said: "Just say that I haven't come back, and you don't know where I have gone!"

After Li Si answered, he was about to leave, but heard Zijing on the side say: "Wait a minute, I'll go back too."

He turned to Xin Yi and said, "It's been too long since I've been back. I'm going to help you find out what's wrong with this Ling!"

Xin Yi nodded.

Zijing and Li Si left together. As the sun set, the golden light filled the entire corridor, making their shadows grow longer. At dusk, Lu Xinyi felt that he had seen this scene before. , and have seen it countless times.

She suddenly became playful and shouted loudly: "Yu Jingmo!"

Zijing and Li Si were stunned on the spot as if they were petrified.

-

When Tu Shansui came back, Nasen had been waiting in the palace for a long time. He was not in a hurry. He read alone with a book, which seemed to shine in the afterglow under the light of the setting sun.

Tu Shansui changed his clothes, took the fruit plate from the maid, walked forward, and squatted down next to Nasen playfully.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

Nasen was startled, then put down the book in his hand, turned around and sat upright, looking at Sui with a smile.

"It's nothing, just some folk opera scripts. I heard that Nujun also went to listen to the opera today?"

Sui sat in front of Nasen. Although they were married not long ago, there seemed to be no intimacy between the two. Nasen just followed the etiquette officer's instructions and came to see her every morning when he got up and fell asleep.

Sometimes, even if he is lying on the same bed, he doesn't feel any nostalgia, let alone any delusion.

Tu Shansui glanced at him and saw that what Nasen was reading was "Joining the Army on My Father's behalf", so he put down the fruit plate and said with a smile:

"Yes, and what I read today is also the article "Joining the Army in place of Father"!"

Nasen smiled and said: "Then what does the female gentleman have to say?"

Sui pinched his chin: "As for the drama, I don't really have any opinions. I just envy Boss Lu for being able to make contributions on our own battlefield like Hua Mulan in this drama!"

Nasen smiled softly, then nodded and said: "Yes, under the old system, women were not allowed to go out to do business, take exams, let alone make contributions, but now that the Moon Kingdom has relaxed the restrictions, talents like Miss Lu can also have their own stage. "

"Yes, Miss Lu has her own stage, but her queen can only sit at home all day long!" Sui pouted and made a face.
