[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Chapter 149: Detective Cases and Palace Fights

Jing Wuming was completely confused, he had no idea what was going on!
He didn't even know about the copy merger. He had been concentrating on reading Miaobishenghua's fan fiction. However, Hua Manlou's group had a healthy schedule. They were ready to go to bed at this time. Jing Wuming had no choice but to go downstairs to find some water. Suddenly, he saw Wen Xue'an and a few strangers. His first reaction was - are there new ghosts in the castle? The most annoying one among them seemed a little familiar...

That would have been fine, but what these ghosts said was really incomprehensible to him.

What does "Can you turn me into a man too?" mean? Does the word "also" mean that there are other people who have been turned into men by him? Let's not talk about who this unlucky guy is, how come he doesn't know that he has such an ability?

Jing Wuming's attitude towards words he couldn't understand was to ignore them. When he was young, Shangguan Jinhong once said about his problem: "Not talking is your greatest strength, but not listening to others may be your fatal flaw."

At that time, he responded with silent protest. Even Shangguan Jinhong hadn't changed his bad habits, so it was even more impossible for others to do so. So he didn't pay any attention to those extra ghosts. He now wanted to know how Yue Lingshan had hanged herself inexplicably and put the rope in his hands inexplicably.

...But looking at the stupid faces of his teammates, he knew that it was useless to ask this question. Jing Wuming thought about it and attributed it to ghosts. It seemed that the ghosts this time were more powerful. It didn't matter. For Jing Wuming, it didn't matter who died. He didn't even care about his own life, let alone the lives of his teammates.

He was silent for a while, reeled in the rope, and slowly walked out dragging Yue Lingshan's body.

"Wait!" Hu Fei reacted first and quickly followed: "You still don't know anything, let me tell you..."

Watching the man walk out, Wen Xuean seemed to be relieved, and said in a cold tone: "This guy's eyes are really uncomfortable."

Of course, if Jing Wuming's eyes were the only thing that made people uncomfortable, then Wen Xue'an's whole person gave people a sticky, suffocating feeling, as if he was rusty.

Especially when he's staring at someone.

He looked at the NPCs coldly without saying a word, and scared the three of them so much that they ran away like quails.

Hu Fei followed Jing Wuming to his room, and by the way, rescued poor Yue Lingshan from the rope and held her in his arms.

Her neck was completely broken, her eyeballs were bulging and grayish white, and there was vomit from suffocation mixed with blood at the corners of her mouth.

I hope she didn't die in too much pain, Hu Fei thought, closing her eyes for her, then looked at Jing Wuming and said, "You killed her."

"Me?" Jing Wuming asked, "What do you know?"

Hu Fei didn't say anything. He first put Yue Lingshan's body on Jing Wuming's bed. Jing Wuming didn't object until Hu Fei sat down as well and didn't say anything, which made Jing Wuming a little impatient.

His right thumb rubbed the hilt of the sword, as if urging him to do so.

Of course Hu Fei could see Jing Wuming's impatience, but as if testing his patience, he remained silent for a long time and stared at the stack of papers on the windowsill. It was a very thick stack, pressed down by the ink bottle. The wind came from nowhere and blew the edges of the papers into pieces.

Hu Fei sighed: "I thought you were a person without emotions, but now I realize that your emotions are stronger than anyone else's."

The emotions are so strong that they are hopeless, and can only be pinned on an illusory story... Is it because the person he is emotionally devoted to is truly emotionless and even inhuman?

His feelings had been cruelly killed long ago.

Jing Wuming looked at him coldly: "Get out if you keep talking nonsense."

Hu Fei said: "Do you still remember Lu Xiaofeng, the one in the detective level? Their level has been merged with this one. This is the last test before leaving the game."

Jing Wuming then showed a little interest: "You mean, a murder will happen here, and the murderer is among us. We have to find the murderer before we can pass the level."

Hu Fei said: "Yes, if you knew it earlier, maybe you wouldn't do such a stupid thing as killing someone and dragging him in front of us." He smiled: "But it doesn't make any difference. If it were you, you would kill someone and you wouldn't bother to hide it."

Jing Wuming looked at his hands for a long time without saying a word.

Hu Fei asked: "Where do you want to go after you pass the customs? Go find him?"

Jing Wuming did not answer him. He always asked questions without answering them. However, his eyes, which were emotionless and even lifeless, also fell on the windowsill.

If there was anything that hit him harder than Shangguan Jinhong's death, it would probably be seeing Shangguan Jinhong being humiliated...

Of course, these had nothing to do with Hu Fei, and Jing Wuming didn't want to have anything to do with Hu Fei anymore. He was about to drive the people and the corpses out together, when suddenly, a loud scream came from outside!

……

The palace is quiet and deep.

It was the season when lotus flowers were in full bloom, and there were more than a dozen large water jars in the Queen's Palace. The tender pink lotus flowers and the rich aroma of spices in the palace complemented each other, but today the Queen ordered the water jars to be moved away and a long table for sacrifice was set up instead.

Shangguan Jinhong was standing in front of the long table, while the queen was kneeling devoutly on the futon. She didn't even turn her head. Facing the statues, she turned the rosary in her hand and said slowly, "Why is Concubine Wen so late? You have extraordinary skills and have just received the favor of His Majesty. It's okay for you to disrespect me, but you also disrespect the gods of heaven and earth?"

The palace servant who was serving him had already prepared his words. He took a deep breath and was about to start scolding, but Shangguan Jinhong had already taken action.

He stepped forward and kicked over the altar.

In fact, he had already adjusted his mentality on the way here and was not very angry. The reason he did this was just to tell the queen that he was very angry.

It was a bit exaggerated to say that when Gang Leader Shangguan got angry, a million people were killed. It was also unnecessary to say that blood splattered every five steps, but it was still easy to break a table by kicking it.

Even though it was a redwood table used for sacrifices, it was two feet long and nine feet wide, with the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Gods enshrined on the top and the Thunder Gods below, with more than ten lamps and twenty-eight offerings on the table, and a bronze-clad pig and sheep in the middle. All this not only made the sacrifice look extremely solemn, but also made the table extremely heavy.

With one kick, the table broke into pieces, and the offerings and statues rolled into a pile. The queen was completely stunned.

He was still kneeling, staring at it all blankly, his mouth open, unable to utter a sound, his face growing paler and paler.

He couldn't understand. Wasn't it just to ask Concubine Wen to come over and make it snow to cool down the temperature? He had already found out clearly that when His Majesty asked Concubine Wen to make it snow, he almost dragged Concubine Wen out and had her chopped to pieces. Concubine Wen didn't say anything. Why did he change his attitude when he came to him? He was polite, at least courteous. Why did he change his attitude?
What is this for?

It can't be that Concubine Wen likes to be dragged out and chopped off, right?
I have heard that Concubine Wen came from a rough and tumble family. People from the rough and tumble families may not know etiquette. Who made His Majesty fall in love with him? It's just that everyone in the deep palace is playing tricks. It's really hard for people to get used to a rough man suddenly sneaking in!

The Queen was angry and afraid, she knelt there trembling, and for a moment she was at a loss. After all, it was His Majesty who conferred the title upon her personally, as you could tell from the title, "Wen". This year she was counting on him to adjust the scorching heat in the palace!

"Empress Wen...you...you are so bold!" The palace servants couldn't stand it any longer. The queen's personal attendant stepped forward and said with his neck held high: "How can we allow you to act wildly in Zhaoyang Palace? Someone -"

"Slowly." The Queen slowly stood up with the help of her servants. His eyes were slightly cold, but his face was gentle. He said softly: "After all, Concubine Wen was born in the underworld. She just entered the palace and was sent to the cold palace not even a day later. She is also lacking in etiquette. This concubine..." As he spoke, he looked directly into Shangguan Jinhong's eyes.

Shangguan Jinhong was naturally also looking at him. Her eyes were neither as cold and sharp as Ye Gucheng's, nor as disgusting as Jing Wuming's, and she did not have any murderous intent. It was clearly just a plain glance, but it made the queen tremble in her heart and send a chill down her spine.

That was a look that was almost contemptuous, as if it could crush him to death at any time. The queen was frightened, terrified, and her legs were weak. She couldn't speak, and it felt like a big stone was pressing on her chest. She was really terrified to the extreme!

Shangguan Jinhong had no interest in scaring young people in their early twenties. He snorted coldly and turned away.

As soon as he left, the queen fell to the ground.

The personal attendant hurriedly supported the man and said hesitantly in a low voice: "Sir, he is gone. In this hot summer, your health..."

"No need." The queen swallowed her saliva and said, "I suddenly feel much cooler."

The forest that suddenly appeared outside the Zhengyang Palace was still lush and green, but all the palace servants who were sweeping and serving were gone. Only Xiao Xia Zi was hiding in the grass nest trembling with fear. She was seen by Shangguan Jinhong, who grabbed her by the collar and pulled her out.

"where are they?"

Xiao Xiazi trembled and asked, "Who are you?"

Shangguan Jinhong said: "Li Xunhuan, no flowers."

Xiao Xiazi said, "The two ladies have been summoned by His Majesty."

Shangguan Jinhong asked: "When was he summoned?"

Xiao Xiazi swallowed and said, "After you left." Actually, he wanted to say, after it snowed in the imperial study, but he didn't dare to say it for fear of being beaten.

Even if he didn't say it, Shangguan Jinhong guessed it.

He sneered: "This little emperor really knows how to enjoy himself." After that, he threw Xiao Xia Zi to the side and lay flat on the recliner under the shade of the tree. The little civet cat came out from somewhere and jumped into his arms.

Shangguan Jinhong stroked it gently with her fingers, but there was no intention of cherishing it.

He actually didn't like pets, especially little things like kittens that could be crushed to death with a light pinch. He just felt that the skin under his palm felt very comfortable.

After a while, the kitten began to snoring.

The imperial study was very cool, but not as cool as the emperor's heart.

She was playing chess with Wuhua, and while playing chess, she talked about the past and present with Li Xunhuan. When the conversation got excited, the little emperor laughed out loud, and at the same time, he used his sleeves to fiddle with the chess pieces on the board, thinking he was quick, trying to reverse the situation - it was useless, and he was still defeated by Wuhua.

In four games in a row, even though Wuhua gave up four pieces at the beginning, even though the emperor regretted his move, and even though Li Xunhuan was there as his advisor, the emperor still lost miserably.

As Wuhua dropped the last black piece, the outcome was decided and there was no chance for the white chess piece to turn the tables. The little emperor's heart turned cold, his hands trembled, and his pupils quivered.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and with a snap, the white piece fell in an unexpected position.

"The five in a row is complete! Hehe, I win this round!"

Wuhua put down the chess piece and said with a faint smile: "Yes, Your Majesty is a master of chess, and I cannot compare with you."

This was said with such irony that even Li Xunhuan, who was watching, felt his face turn red. However, the emperor himself did not feel that and smiled openly: "My dear, you really are worthy of being called the Wonderful Monk of the Seven Wonders. Today I have learned one of your seven wonders. When can you let me learn the other six wonders?"

Wuhua's pretty face actually blushed: "Your Majesty, you are joking. I am of low status and have only learned a few skills. How dare I act rashly in front of Your Majesty?"

The little emperor laughed again, took Wuhua's hand and stroked it carefully: "Since you mentioned your status, I have thought about it and it is really unfair for you to be a concubine with your talent. Since you have played chess with me today, I will confer you the title of...concubine. How about it?"

Wuhua was not surprised by the favor or the disgrace, and still smiled faintly: "Your Majesty's gift, I dare not refuse."

"Very good." The emperor patted Wuhua's hand gently. "But you are a monk without a surname, so you must have a title. It sounds more respectable. I think about it. Seven Wonderful Monks, ah, I have it, why not give you the title..."

Wuhua could hardly hold back his smile. It was Concubine Miao again, right? Unpleasant memories suddenly came to his mind. Even though the one who touched his hand was an out-and-out woman, he still got goose bumps when he thought of the affectionate calls of "My beloved concubine" outside the Zhengyang Palace.

He Wuhua swears to never reconcile with the title of "Miao Fei"!
Fortunately, the emperor did not bestow the title "Miao".

"How about the title of Jue, Jue Fei?"

Wuhua: "..."

This guy is even worse than Concubine Miao!
Oh my god, this title is so amazing!

Li Xun Huan bit his lips tightly. In order to hold back his laughter, he thought about all the sad things in his life.

"Hahahaha, my dear, your expression is really funny. I was just joking. How unpleasant it is to call a concubine. My dear, your appearance is as bright as the moon between clouds, so I will give you the character 'Jiao' as your title. Are you satisfied this time?"

Wuhua: "..."

Jiao Fei... the word is beautiful, but you can't pronounce it. It sounds worse than "Jue Fei"
Why not give her the title of Concubine Jiao instead of Concubine Xie?
Seeing Wuhua's expression of gratitude, Li Xunhuan felt that no matter what sad things he would encounter in the future, he would be able to laugh out loud whenever he thought of it.

In fact, he was laughing so hard that he couldn't hold it back. When the Emperor asked him what he was laughing at, Li Xunhuan managed to squeeze out a few words, saying that he was happy for the "Feet Concubine".

Wuhua glared at him fiercely.

As he was speaking, he heard a report from the palace servant outside.

"Your Majesty is overjoyed. News has come from the Imperial Hospital that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant!"

The smile stopped abruptly, and Wuhua and Li Xunhuan were both stunned.

Who is pregnant? The imperial concubine?
Isn't the imperial concubine a man? How did he get pregnant?

Has the world gone so crazy that men can get pregnant?
