Red waist breaking line

Chapter 821

--segmentation--

Early morning. Deserted village, small house, by the window.

With a warm forehead wrapped around Hongye, he held the window frame with one hand and supported his chin with the other, staring blankly at the raindrops outside the window.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Bai Shu walked in with two bowls of medicine. When he saw Hong Ye's appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

Startled, Hongye quickly came back to her senses: "Oh! Okay." She stood up and picked up one of the bowls of medicine and drank it all. She put the bowl down and sighed naturally: "This medicine is really bitter."

Bai Shu smiled and said, "Although the medicine is bitter, it is not as bitter as the pain of missing you. Your Majesty is thinking about your husband, so naturally nothing you drink tastes good."

Hongye blushed: "Are you going to be so rude?"

Bai Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't mind. It's normal for people to miss someone. What's more, we are meeting again after a long separation, so I'm sure you will miss them all the time."

Hongye smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Bai is an old friend of mine, and I know him well. I don't mind revealing my feelings to you. But what you said just now made me a little wary - after all, my status is different now. If I always look like I am worried about love, will I appear unstable in front of others, which is not conducive to governing people?"

Bai Shu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worried. If it were in front of others, you should have restrained yourself. But at the moment, Your Majesty is claiming to be sick and rarely sees outsiders, so it's not a big deal."

Hongye smiled: "Mr. Bai is steady after all. He can make people feel at ease with just a few words."

Bai Shu saw that although she said she was relieved, her brows were still slightly furrowed, so he asked, "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about what happened last night?"

Hongye sighed and said, "Mr. Bai understands me."

Bai Shu said, "After seeing off the Prince Consort and General Mu last night, Your Majesty secretly asked Qi Ji to accompany you to the tomb of Prince Consort Yang. But what happened?"

Hongye said, "Last night I ordered Qiji to dig up the soil from the tomb and open the coffin for an autopsy. Who would have thought—" She stretched her fingers slightly and hooked a corner of the tablecloth, holding it in her hand: "Who would have thought that the person in the tomb had no face."

Bai Shu was startled: "Isn't it Prince Consort Yang?"

Hongye said, "Looking at the figure, it seems so, and there are indeed traces of taking Biling on the skin, but... the body is badly damaged, so even I can't be sure."

Bai Shu said: "But didn't the deceased Miss Shanpu say..."

Hongye said, "Yes, Shanpu's words are so convincing, and Qiji also got the information back, saying that Yang Yizhao's previous incarnation is dead, which makes me believe it. A few days ago, I was immersed in the joy of reunion after a long separation, and Mr. Bai explained the theory of Gu science, which was reasonable, so I didn't think about it carefully. Now that Yang - Shuyan has been taken away by Mu Tong, I have time to think about it." Bai Shu felt a little uneasy when she mentioned "theory". Although he was kind, this theory was just an inference after all, and there was no actual evidence. The matter of replacing Yang Yizhao with Shuyan has far-reaching implications, and it must not be investigated further at this time. Unfortunately, Mu Tong was not there, and he was not very good at turning things around, so he didn't dare to speak up. He could only listen to what she said first and then respond.

But Hongye said, "Originally, amnesia... I also know that it shouldn't be forced. Since he was reborn and lost his memory, it's reasonable that he's a little different. But... but... I always feel that he's more clingy than before. Although he used to be quite clingy, he at least had some sense of propriety. But now... he wants to stick with me all the time. If I leave for a while, he'll look for me, for fear that I'll leave him. He used to be a generous and sociable person, but now he's very withdrawn, and even his daily behavior is full of paranoia and dominance. Sometimes when I look at him, I'm a little dazed - is he really the reincarnation of Yang Yizhao? Why is there so much difference except for his eyebrows and eyes?"

Bai Shu thought for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my shallow knowledge. This art of rebirth is profound and I cannot fully understand it at the moment. Your Majesty knows Prince Consort Yang better than I do, and what you feel and think may not be unreasonable. But I saw from the side that Mr. Shu seemed to love Your Majesty deeply. Not only me, but even the sharp-eyed Lord Mu concluded that this was the case... This kind of affectionate look and behavior does not seem to be something that others can pretend. I can't think of a third person in this world who can reach this level except Prince Consort Yang and Lord Xiao."

Hearing Bai Shu mention Yunxi, Hongye felt a little guilty and her face turned red. "That's right. Maybe he had experienced something before he lost his memory, or maybe he had this temper when he was young, but I didn't catch up. Now that he is back, I can only be grateful. I really shouldn't doubt him. Ah, maybe it's because he doesn't let me call him Yang Yizhao. Although the name Shuyan is shared by the two of us, I still want to call him by his original name. But he won't let me. It's really annoying."

Bai Shu smiled and said, "This is your Majesty's fault. As long as he is Prince Consort Yang, what does it matter what he is called? Besides, if your Majesty insists on calling him, I don't believe that Prince Consort Yang will not respond. You see, he is so reluctant to leave your Majesty, but isn't it because of your Majesty's words that he is willing to follow Lord Mu to do things? The decision is still in your Majesty's hands."

Hongye bit her lip and smiled: "I said Mr. Bai would be easy-going. Well, call him whatever he wants." After that, she calmed down and said, "Let's talk business. I asked Ye Qi to send a letter to Yun Xi a while ago. Did you get a reply? Is he okay?"

Bai Shu nodded and said, "Yes. Lord Xiao said in his secret letter that he had searched all the existing ancient books of Zhao Yin, but he did not find any relevant records of Emperor Jie raising the Green Spirit to inherit the soul. Some books in the library were deliberately destroyed during the rebellion in Lanjing City, which may be related to this matter. According to his judgment, it was probably the sin committed by Zhang Ziliu during his lifetime. Since the ancient books have been destroyed, we have no way of knowing what is on them. As for other government affairs, everything went smoothly. Lord Xiao took control of the government, eliminated some of the remaining forces, and seized a lot of treasures. In addition, the taxes paid by important places such as Yuezhou City were enough to pay off the debts of the former Lingyue Dynasty. At present, he is arranging and promoting the policy of recuperation. The affairs are complicated and I think it is very hard."

Hongye smiled gratefully: "Thanks to him, otherwise..."

Bai Shu smiled and said, "Lord Xiao has another confidential document enclosed in the letter. Your Majesty, please open it and read it alone."

As he spoke, he presented a brocade bag. Hongye took it doubtfully, and just as she opened it a little, she saw a piece of silk embroidered with red leaves folded inside the bag, and several red beans were wrapped in the silk. The red leaves looked lifelike, with a touch of red kisses and a few scarlet finger marks overlapping on the leaf flesh, which showed that it had been played with and rubbed for a long time. Her cheeks immediately flushed, and she quickly tightened the mouth of the bag and hid it in her arms: "I don't think he is tired at all, and he still has the mind to play with these toys. Alas, what's the good of having three wives and four concubines? You can't even this one up with that one. When I go back in the future, I will have a jealous person on my left and a black-hearted old witch on my right. I don't know how I will live."

Bai Shu smiled and said, "Zhao Yin once said, 'If you come, you should make the best of it.' It doesn't matter if it's left or right. When your Majesty is angry, who can tell the difference?"

Hongye glared at him, "Mr. Bai has always been honest, don't follow them and learn bad things. Please continue to talk about business - Mr. Bai, I have something to ask you. I remember when I first met you, you were poisoned by the fake Biling and pretended to be dead in the cave for several years... You once said that it was the fake Biling that found food for you, so you could continue your life?"

Bai Shu nodded, "Yes. Shen Tuisi fed me half-finished insect eggs, which hatched and grew in my body, and then grew wings to become an insect... The insect usually lives in my body, occasionally goes out to find food, and then returns to my body after finding food. This repeats, ensuring that I will not die for several years. Otherwise... I am afraid I would have become a starving corpse long ago."

Hongye said, "In other words, the semi-finished Biling regards you as its host, right? Just like the relationship between the real Biling and the Yulingmu?"

Bai Shu said: "The semi-finished product did treat me as a host. But this is different from the Imperial Spirit Wood. The Imperial Spirit Wood is more of a nourishing container. Even without the Green Spirit, it can still survive. The Green Spirit just borrowed its vitality and used it as a nest and food, and will not give back to it."

Hongye said: "Then, if I become a host, can I control them?"

Bai Shu said, "It depends. According to Gu Science, if you hatch the Gu with the intention of controlling it, you will have a certain chance of becoming its master. Just like when I was poisoned by the insect eggs, my will will also affect them. So when they find food, they will share it with me. We can be said to be in a mutually dependent relationship."

Hongye asked, "According to what you said, this Gu also has its own ideas?"
