"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!"
Xin Yi's eyes flashed A glimmer of light passed: "Really?"
"Yes. "Zijing helped her to the bedside, "But before that, you have to tell me, how do you know about cutting out gallbladder to detoxify?"
Lu Xinyi held Zijing's arm tightly, with eyes in her eyes. She started to blush, and for a while, so many emotions came to my heart that I didn't know where to start.
Taking this opportunity, he felt her pulse: "What did that person 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 said slowly:
“Ling has been poisoned by snake venom, and there is no cure. He originally planned to dig out my heart to make medicine, 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 could. 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 remember the man in the stable?"
"That one? A person called a 'sick horse'?"
"Yes." Zi Jing nodded, "In Chu State, there is a witchcraft that can peel off a person's shadow like a soul in order to escape. The purpose is 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. On the surface, it was said that it was for Yuejun's safety..."
"In reality Is it to cultivate a killer for herself?" She looked up at him, feeling tight in her heart.
Zijing stared and nodded:
"But they never expected that the young man would rather die than surrender. Under the beating, the young man actually took off his flesh clothes in front of everyone, and His body was split into two, his shadow was bound within the iron chain, but his physical body flew away.”
Lu Xinyi was shocked: "There is such a magic in the world!"
Zijing turned around and looked at Xinyi: "What is even more unexpected is what lies ahead. They have far underestimated the ability of the shadow. Although the shadow is not He can speak, his face is like paint, but he has the ability to possess the body. As you said, the prince of Guogong Mansion is young and frail."
"So, Ying. You just choose 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 muttered 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 shoulders, and comforted: "You saved Yingying. Yingying knows how to repay his kindness, and it is appropriate for him to repay your kindness."
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Lu Xinyi's heart. I felt bad. If it was just to repay her kindness, Shadow had already done enough. The kindness of feeding her blood, the love of companionship, stepping forward at critical moments, and so on. I don’t know how much kindness I had repaid to 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, snake god, what's going on?"
A moment of confusion flashed across Zijing's face, he turned his head and withdrew his hand , haha: "I do know a big snake demon. He used to be a general in Emperor Jing's army, but he has been sleeping for hundreds of years. What Ling said about cutting the gallbladder to detoxify is pure 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! Our Snake Clan, this is us The name of the clan leader, if I tell it to you without reservation 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 sent someone to ask you if 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, I Go back too.”
He turned to Xin Yi and said, "I haven't been back for a long time. Let me go and help you find out what's wrong with this Ling!"
Xin Yi nodded.
Zijing and Li Si left together. As the sun was setting, the golden light filled the entire corridor, making their shadows grow longer. At dusk, Lu Xinyi felt that this scene I don’t know where I’ve seen it before, and I’ve 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. Under the light of the setting sun, he seemed to be in the afterglow. Radiant.
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, it's just some folk play books. I heard that the queen also went to listen to the play today?"
Sui sat in front of Na Sen. Although they were married not long ago, the two of them seemed not to be intimate at all. 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 does not feel the slightest nostalgia, let alone the slightest delusion.
Tu Shansui glanced at it 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, This is also the article "Joining the Army on My Father's behalf"!
Nasen smiled and said: "Then what do you think, Nujun?"
Sui pinched her chin: "As for the drama, I don't have much insight, I just envy Boss Lu, who can be like Hua Mulan in this drama , Make contributions on our own battlefield as women!"
Nasen smiled softly, then nodded: "Yes! Well, under the old system, women were not allowed to go out to do business or take exams, let alone make contributions. But now that the Yue Kingdom has relaxed the restrictions, talents like Miss Lu can also have their own stage."
"Yes. Miss Lu has her own stage, but her heroine can only sit at home every day!" Sui pouted and made a face.
