Tang Dynasty Puppet Doctor

Chapter 75 Dreaming Again
Murong Huan also came to his senses in an instant, and used the bamboo flute to block and hit Hong Xian's wrist. Hong Xian felt the pain and took a few steps back. Just as she was about to escape, Xuan Yu swung the sword across and pressed it on her slender neck.

"My dear, I am just a weak woman, please let me go!"

"Shut up! I won't fall for your evil charms!" Xuan Yu said bluntly, "Behave yourself! Answer whatever my husband and this young lady ask you, or I'll take you to the Dali Temple's jail and punish you severely!"

"You are not like this by nature. Your experiences have made you what you are now."

Murong Huan spoke up and said that in her fleeting memories, Hong Xian once wanted to rescue those girls who had similar experiences as her and were sold to their masters, but she didn't expect that her plan failed and she was eventually discovered by her master. When the master asked who came up with the idea, those girls betrayed her without hesitation, so she hardened her heart and killed those girls.

"No one will truly treat you as a friend. Even those men only see you as a plaything that can be discarded at any time. Hong Xian, if you want to control your own destiny, you can't trust anyone but yourself. In fact, conversely, you can also treat those men as your playthings!"

As the man's words echoed in her mind, Murong Huan asked again, "Who is that man who scares you but you have to rely on?"

Hong Xian suddenly regained consciousness and sighed, "Your hypnosis skills are truly powerful. I fell into your trap without even realizing it."

"Your hypnosis skills are not bad, but you used them in the wrong place. Hong Xian, you shouldn't abandon your good intentions. As the saying goes, one thought can make you a Buddha, and one thought can make you a devil. You still have other options."

"Hehehe...what choice do I have?" Hong Xian suddenly laughed coldly. She looked at Xiao Muchen, then at Murong Huan. "How can you nobles, who are so high and mighty, understand the suffering of us lowly people? My father sold me for only five copper coins so that my brother could survive. Not only me, but also many children like me. We were locked in a cage and fought like wild beasts just for a bite to eat.

In their words, untouchables like us are worse than dogs and will be thrown away like garbage when we die."

"I gave myself a chance, and I wanted to keep my kindness. I wanted to save them, but they betrayed me!"

"I also wanted to be a good person. As long as this man was willing to accept me, even as a concubine, I would be willing to live a humble life beside him. But I put so much effort into making him, a bastard, gain his father's recognition and status in the family, and after he succeeded, he actually betrayed me!"

"Later, I discovered that as long as I abandoned this so-called kindness, I could live a good life. My master gave me the ability to meet nobles that I never dared to see in my life before. In his words, while they treated me as a plaything, I could also treat these noble children of the aristocracy as my plaything.

When you've had enough fun, just kill them. Why not?"

When she said this, tears fell from her extremely charming and pitiful eyes again, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and it was a crazy smile.

"But you haven't killed many people, and most of them were bad guys. Tell us, where is Qiu Shenji hiding now? What is the plan between your master and the King of Wei?"

Only after being asked this did Hong Xian calm down and resume her gentle and charming demeanor.

"So, you're actually trying to trick me into telling you where Qiu Shenji is, and then, by the way, get the master and the King of Wei's plans?" She laughed. "Do you think I'll tell you the truth?"

After saying that, she giggled again.

The next moment, a sword drew a bloody mark on her snow-white neck.

"Even if you don't tell the truth, I have a way to make you tell the truth. Do you want to tell it now? Or do you want to suffer a little later?"

Xuan Yu said sternly.

Murong Huan reached out and pressed his hand down, saying, "That's not necessary!" He then looked at Hong Xian again and said, "In fact, I can free you from your master's control and let you live a free life. Not only that, I might even help you and others like you escape from slavery..."

When she heard the words "escaping from the lowly status," a light finally flickered in the woman's eyes. Then she laughed again, "Are you bragging to try to turn me against me, young lady? Escaping from the lowly status...how could it be so easy? Some are born noble, some are born lowly. This is the unchanging law of this world, and no matter how hard you try, you can't change it."

"You can't change it because you haven't tried hard enough!" At this time, Xiao Muchen continued, "You should know that she is just giving you a way out. You have been lurking in my house for a long time and have never thought of killing me, but you had to sneak into my room tonight. It shows that your master has given you the final death order.

Now that your mission has failed, even if we release you, will your master let you go?"

At this point, Xiao Muchen added, "I'll spread the word that you've confessed everything to me. What do you think your master and the King of Wei will do?"

"you--"

The woman's eyebrows suddenly raised, she looked at Xiao Muchen and sighed, "So Xiao Lang's tenderness is only for one person? He's so cruel to me?"

"Are you willing to say it now?"

Under Xiao Muchen's pressure, Hong Xian slowly relaxed and turned to Murong Huan, smiling:
"You may not believe what I say, but since this little girl can use hypnosis, then use it on me again. I won't resist again! But you have to keep your promise!"

……

When the fragrance entered her nose and she entered Hong Xian's dream again, she saw Hong Xian holding a lantern and pretending to be a ghost, scaring the Dali Temple jailers and constables away in all directions. Then another man in black dressed in jailer's clothes came to the Dali Temple and took Qiu Shenji out in the name of interrogating a prisoner.

Afterwards, Hong Xian came to the top of the cell, lifted a tile, and put a snake into Guo Hongba's cell. She rang the bell again, and the snake quickly crawled onto Guo Hongba's body. Guo Hongba immediately screamed, picked up a knife and stabbed himself in the stomach.

When Guo Hongba's shout rang out, many more people rushed into the Dali Temple, so no one noticed how the two men in jailer uniforms got out.

And then... Qiu Shenji never showed up again. Instead, Hong Xian came to an abandoned house and had sex with the man whose face could not be seen.

……

The scene took another subversive turn, with Qiu's curses and the figures of King Wei, Lai Junchen and others appearing one after another in Hong Xian's memory.

There are also some strange places, such as monks, temples, etc.

Lai Junchen's sinister smile flashed across his face, and then the voice of the King of Wei said:
"I don't care what method you use, but within three days, have everyone on this list imprisoned in your court of justice, and convince the Saint that they are truly conspiring to rebel."

"If Xiao Muchen dies, I will recommend you to the Saint as the Chief Censor. What do you think of this offer?"

"Here!"

……

"And you, put this in Xiao Muchen's bedroom, you should know what to do?"

The memory was suddenly interrupted, and Hong Xian suddenly regained consciousness, gasping for breath, and looked at Murong Huan and Xiao Muchen as if he had just recovered from the shock.

"So, what exactly are you doing here tonight? What are you trying to hide here?"
