The Powerful Eunuch and the Delicate Beauty

Chapter 338 He said, am I at a disadvantage (four thousand)
She couldn't figure out why the old man would put such a confessing white Linglan at the entrance of the poetry hall.

Also, Su Ruan's eyes fell on the female ghost who floated out from under the table at some point and was still leaning next to Bai Linglan.

"My lady, do you know how Zhao and Li died?"

As soon as the words came out, even Xia Yu, who couldn't see ghosts, felt the surroundings suddenly cooled down.

"Hehehehe...how did they die?"

The female ghost laughed terribly, and after being ridiculous for a while, she burst into tears again.

"They all deserve to die! They all deserve to die!"

Su Ruan knew that her guess was correct.

The two who died first liked to linger in the place of fireworks, and after they died, it was the place that rotted first, plus the cause of death of this female ghost.

Sure enough, there is a very important connection.

However, what she still can't figure out is that although the female ghost in front of her has a lot of resentment, she hasn't been infected with human life, which means she didn't kill him.

In addition...

"Girl, they should all die, and it's good to die, but he and the two are not the only ones who died in this poetry hall. Miss, do you know that five more scholars died yesterday?"

"Five more died?" The female ghost stopped crying, but the slight timidity that had always been cast on the ghost's face did not fluctuate at all.

"If you die, you die, and it has nothing to do with me."

"But what if the murderer is someone who cares about you, or someone you care about? For example, the old man who gave this flower..."

Su Ruan directly took the flower from Xia Yu's hand while speaking, and handed it to the female ghost.

The female ghost looked at the white flower that was close at hand, and suddenly hugged her head with her hands.

"I can't remember, I can't remember..."

"Ghosts will forget the most important things after they die, so why did you suddenly make noise after the old man delivered the white flowers during the day?"

Just as Su Ruan finished speaking, Sun Yunniang suddenly interjected.

"Ruan Ruan, what you see during the day may not necessarily be an old man. Maybe he was a young man. I heard that some cultivators, if they use forbidden techniques, their lifespan will be damaged, and they will grow old overnight. Both."

Su Ruan immediately understood what Sun Yuniang said.

But just when she raised her head and was about to say something to the female ghost, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.

The female ghost was taken away immediately.

"This, is this a Taoist priest?" Sun Yunniang's voice trembled a little.

Su Ruan frowned, and just when she didn't want to pursue further investigation because most of the truth had already been revealed, she saw the little thin man coming, behind him were several hidden guards, and a crooked old man in a black cloak.

And her gaze fell directly on the small bottle that was being protected by the old man in his arms, and that bottle contained the female ghost who was taken away by Fang Fang's golden light.

"Gu Nian, are you convicted?"

Su Shen's words sound like thunder on the ground, but after carefully thinking about Su Sun Yuniang's words, Su Ruan feels that everything is reasonable.

Gu Nian didn't look up, but just replied two words lightly.

"I don't know."

It's just that there is a sharp ghost voice falling together with the word "him".

"It's not wrong, brother Gu is not wrong, it's them who are wrong, they all deserve to die!"

After the female ghost yelled, she clutched the naked bellyband in front of her and continued sternly.

It turns out that the female ghost's name is Wu Junlan, and she was originally the daughter of the Wu family, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou city. She and Gu Nian met when they were offering incense, and she rescued Gu Nian who was injured at that time.

Fate also began to take root from that meeting, but in the end it was hindered because the master of the Wu family looked down on Gu Nian's identity of having no father, no mother, and no background.

"My father said at the time that unless Brother Gu can go to high school, he will never accept my marriage with him, so Brother Gu will go to the academy to study, and then take the imperial examination, but who knows..."

Wu Junlan's body trembled ghostly, and she continued to speak through gritted teeth.

"Because Brother Gu went to the exam that day, before he came back, I wanted to copy the poems and essays that Brother Gu had mentioned in the Yangsi Poetry Hall, but I ran into two drunks with no conscience, they not only knocked my maid unconscious , and polluted me."

"So, what's wrong with Brother Gu killing them? As for the others, they all passed by that day, but none of them wanted to save me..."

When Wu Junlan said this, she stopped. She looked up at the person who was holding her in the palm of her hand, and a series of tears welled up in her ghostly eyes.

"Brother Gu, why are you so stupid? Those people deserve to die, but why did you sacrifice your own lifespan?"

"I'm not stupid, Lan'er, I just think it's too tired to be alone, so I want to find you sooner."

Su Ruan looked at Gu Nian who answered the words, if it wasn't for his eyes not being in focus with Wu Junlan's soul when he spoke, she almost thought that he could see ghosts too.

However, Su Ruan felt it was a pity to see Gu Nian, who had obviously had a cloud of black mist on his head.

Because of this Gu Nian is about to die.

She thought for a while, then pulled the little skinny man aside, and also the hidden guard who was holding Gu Nian.

After Su Ruan and Su Shen finished talking about the whole story, they turned their heads and saw Gu Nian, who was standing just a moment ago, was already leaning against the wall behind him, and Wu Junlan was sobbing on his heart.

"Woooo, it's so miserable. Once Gu Nian died, he couldn't even gather his soul together. It seemed that he couldn't get out of his physical body, and he was about to melt together with his physical body."

Su Ruan's heart was also depressed, but even if she didn't know the consequences of using forbidden techniques to hurt people's lives, she didn't know the consequences.

But she saw that Sun Yuniang had praised her appearance before, but she knew it was Gu Nian, who was gray-haired and lost her life.

"Please let me out, I want to accompany Brother Gu, please, let me out..."

Listening to Wu Junlan's cry, Sun Yuniang floated over immediately.

However, just when she was about to use ghost power to open the vial, she heard a blocking sound.

"Wait a minute."

The person who came was a white-haired old man. He looked at the people and ghosts who were looking at him, stroked his beard, and explained.

"Gu Nian put Miss Wu's soul in the golden bottle on purpose. In this golden bottle, he has used it for more than 80 years to accumulate virtues and good deeds, and added his congratulations during his lifetime, so as long as Miss Wu stays in this bottle For three days and three nights, you can forget all the sufferings of the past and go directly to reincarnation."

"More than 80 years?" Sun Yunniang, who was crying, was a little dizzy. The Gu Nian she met before was obviously a handsome scholar.

"Well, Gu Nian has lived for a hundred and one years, but he started to learn Taoism at the age of ten. Although it was not long, he had quite a bit of comprehension, so when he was in his twenties, his appearance and stature were already a foregone conclusion. , no longer changes."

All the people and ghosts present couldn't hide their surprise after hearing the old man's words. After all, they have heard of immortality, but they have never seen it.

Just thinking about it this way, they couldn't help but feel sorry for the thought of losing their souls.

Only Wu Junlan in the bottle knelt down in the bottle after seeing the old man's appearance clearly.

"You are Brother Gu's master, and Jun Lan has met you before. Since you are Brother Gu's master, you must have a way to save him. Please, please save him."

"Don't worry, don't worry, since I'm here, I won't let him lose his soul just like that." The old man took out a gold vase that contained Wu Junlan from his pocket, but looked carefully.

The color is darker, and when the bottle cap is opened, colorful lights flash.

Afterwards, Su Ruan and the two ghosts, who were able to see ghosts, saw a small shadow gathered in the golden bottle.

"See, this is your elder brother Gu. You can stay in your small bottle safely. As for him, he will be fine with my merit bottle. When the time comes, I will send you to go with him." Reincarnate."

After finishing speaking, the old man put the gold bottle in the palm of his hand and Gu Nian's heart into his sleeves, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Do you still remember me, sir?"

The old man looked at Su Shen who was standing in front of him, and then his eyes fell on Su Ruan who was still a little unresponsive, he said with a smile.

"Of course I remember, look, what I said at the time was right, the person you think about and love has come back, and judging by the looks of you, you should have connected with each other. This is really a big deal Fortunately."

One of the greatest blessings in the world.

Su Shen didn't expect that the old man, the fortune teller he had met twice before, would speak so bluntly, and he froze in place for a moment.

Su Ruan also looked confused and shy.

What is empathy?Could it be that she and the little skinny man were so obvious?

Su Ruan was slightly distracted, and when he realized it, he heard the old man leave a sentence inscrutable.

"Su Duzhu, don't stop the old man, we will have more time to meet in the future."

……

The sky was slightly bright, and Su Ruan, who had just returned to the inn, felt a little sad when thinking about what happened not long ago.

"Little skinny man, I just said that if, if one day..."

Su Shen's eyes immediately turned cold when he heard what the ghost said.

As for Su Ruan who was talking, she stopped and shook her head, then hugged the little skinny man standing in front of her, and her little hands squeezed the thin waist dishonestly.

"Forget it, if I have something good or bad someday, I will definitely take you with me, so you must be like me, no matter what happens in the future, we will be together."

Otherwise, what a pity the one left.

"Ah."

Hearing the promise in his ear, Su Ruan closed his almond eyes and pulled him onto the bed.

Sleep together overnight.

……

In the early morning, Su Ruan woke up with a shaking. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was leaning on the little thin man's arms and sitting in the carriage.

"Ruan Ruan, the case of the Yangsi Poetry Museum is closed, and I directly explained the cause and effect to the Holy Majesty."

"Eh? Does he believe it?"

Su Shen spoke lightly.

"This matter is full of weirdness everywhere, and there is no room for the Holy One not to believe it."

Su Ruanyin was not fully awake yet, so she followed the little skinny man's words and nodded.

It's just that she doesn't know what it will be.

Su Shen would report this matter, not only because he wanted to close the case, but also because Emperor Jing Yuan wanted to live forever.

If he guessed correctly, Emperor Jing Yuan at this meeting must be looking for the old way from last night.

Thinking of this, Su Shen's light brown eyes flashed a bit dark.

Ten days later, Yanjiao City.

When Su Ruan arrived at the familiar gate of the city, she was still a little unbelievable.

After all, she originally thought that the road back to Yanjiao from Yangzhou would definitely be uneven, but who knew that the journey back was smooth.

"When the Holy Majesty returned from Yangzhou, he encountered several interceptions."

Su Ruan was startled.

So it was the dog emperor who blocked the robbery for them?

However, who is so anxious to want the dog emperor to die?

Su Shen knew that the ghost should be full of fog, so he hugged the body that had withdrawn from his arms again.

His chin rested on the hollow of his slightly thin shoulder.

"When the Holy Majesty set off from Yangzhou, there was already news about finding the way of immortality, which leaked into Yanjiao, and the Holy Majesty had already accused the East Palace several times before leaving Yanjiao."

"But this time Emperor Jingyuan came to Yangzhou from the palace, didn't he not tell the outside world, and even found a substitute?"

"Yes, but as far as I know, when the Holy Majesty left Yanjiao this time, he ordered the second prince, Song Chushu, to cooperate with his substitute."

Su Ruan suddenly realized.

"So it was Song Chuyan who sent someone to assassinate Emperor Jing Yuan."

"The Holy Majesty has already sent someone to imprison the prince in the East Palace, but the matter has not yet been settled."

Su Ruan looked at the little thin man with a calm face, and then thought about going back to Yanjiao Road, the little thin man looked peaceful.

And the gentleness and politeness that is getting back to the nature more and more, my heart skipped a beat immediately.

"Little skinny man, although you are fine now, you need to remember that those who hurt you, you have to be vigilant. In short, if someone provokes you, you have to return it immediately. We don't have to take the initiative to harm others. But absolutely not to be harmed.”

After the painstaking teaching, Su Ruan added another sentence with a little worry.

"In short, I don't care if you are a good person, I only care if you suffer."

"Well, good." Su Shen's twinkling eyes were full of intoxicating smiles, he leaned down slightly against his weird face, and immediately kissed him at a familiar position.

Whispering together, he asked softly.

"You kissed me more than I kissed you last night, so am I at a disadvantage?"

The sound of warm breathing stuck between her lips, and Su Ruan pressed back with a smile, and she lifted her white chin, which was close at hand, with one hand.

"That doesn't count. If I kiss you more, that only means that I love you more, so do you want me to love you more?"

With a questioning tone and a captivating gesture, Su Shen closed her eyes when she nibbled his Adam's apple playfully, and the tips of her ears were blushing like blood.

This is why Su Ruan, who was just thinking about teasing her a few times, couldn't stop talking in an instant.

……

The East Palace at this moment.

A school of singing and dancing was uplifting, and above the main hall was the sound of dancers playing. Bimu in the corner looked at the prince who was surrounded in the middle, and clenched his hands in his sleeves tightly.

But then it was helpless.

After all, he knows the pain in the prince's heart better than anyone else.

Thinking of this, he asked the hidden guard beside him in a deep voice.

"No one has found out yet, who exactly framed His Highness?"

Seeing the dark guard shaking his head, Bi Mu was disturbed and asked people to back down, but he was secretly praying in his heart.

He hoped that the Holy Majesty would have someone monitor the East Palace, so that the Holy Majesty would know about the grievance of His Highness the Crown Prince this time.

Even in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did take action, but the assassination of the first batch of dead soldiers really had nothing to do with the East Palace.
