Conspiracy

Chapter 307 Shang Jingyao Self-immolation Disappears

"Corpse? I remember that there were at least tens of thousands of red bells at that time. When Jing'er and I came out of the illusion, the bamboo forest disappeared. It should be Bao Yixuan who switched or closed the entrance. I have also tried to go there these days." I searched, but found nothing."

"He sued the court for leave, but he hasn't shown up until now. Could there be some conspiracy?"

"Continue to investigate, and tell your little demons to protect Jing'er secretly after finding Jing'er. I'm afraid that Concubine Yu and the others will attack her."

"Okay! Then don't be angry, my brother and I didn't hide it on purpose."

"I know." Su Zhen raised her cup and sipped tea, remembering the change in Su Tingye's attitude, she quickly put down the teacup, the cold light in her eyes flashed away, "The group of Taoist priests who attacked me earlier have found clues."

"They were all silenced by you at the time, leaving no clues at all. My little demons didn't dare to get too close to the Taoist temple, they only dared to investigate secretly. But according to common sense, the only one who wanted to kill you at that time should be King Qin."

"King Qin? If he had such strength, he wouldn't have lost everything and ended up like this."

"Then who do you suspect?"

Su Zhen rubbed the center of her brows, feeling that she had overlooked some clue.

Yue Xianer wanted to kill her, but Shang Jingyao secretly obstructed her attempt to save her.

Master Qing Miao's hit caused an extra calamity of almost ten deaths and no life. Could it be because he gave the flute as a gift?

This variable was born, it must be because he changed the fate of others.

But who did he change?
Whether it is Shang Jingyao or Yue Xian'er, they are both half-lived and half-dead, so why change their lives?

Su Zhen reacted quickly, raised her hand to touch the cuff, and sure enough, the string of beads was gone.

"Young master? What's the matter?"

Su Zhen couldn't help laughing, "I underestimated his compassion, I would like to think that he wanted to use Shang Jingyao's hand to eliminate harm, but it turned out that..."

"What do you mean?"

Su Zhen put away her smile and blinked at her, "Want to hear it? Hey! I won't tell you!"

Jumping up from the seat, in the blink of an eye, he fell a few feet away from the end.

Seeing Mo Shen rushing over annoyedly and wanting to do something to her, Su Zhen evoked a gentle smile, but the face of Yue Xian'er appeared in front of her eyes.

Forget it, no matter what the truth is, the rift already exists and cannot be repaired.

The stream behind Huanyu Mountain is surrounded by mountains, and the trees on the mountains are reflected in the water, and only some reflections can be seen vaguely.Pieces of green leaves stumbled and fell, drifting with the clear waves.

Looking from a distance, a woman in red stepped into the cool stream barefoot, holding a pipa in her arms, and wearing a string of Buddhist beads and a blue water jadeite bracelet on her exposed wrist.

The rhythmic plucking and hooking of slender jade fingers, and the beautiful and high-pitched music can make people intoxicated and forget their way back.

After the song was played, a red light appeared in the woman's hands, and the pipa in her arms and the guzheng placed on the rock beside her shrank to the size of half a palm.

She took out a wooden box carved with green gardenia flowers from her side, and opened it gently. Inside was a rattle drum that seemed to be old. The red skin had become dull, but overall, it was preserved. It's really good.

This is the full moon gift given to her by her second elder sister.

In addition to the drum, there is also a stone stained with blood, which is not her blood, but belongs to her twin brother Yue Chengzhi.

Once upon a time, he also fought with bullies in order to protect his sister, but when did everything change?
Looking back on the past, everything had already changed beyond recognition, she was unwilling and helpless.

All of a sudden, the mountain was lit up with flames. Hearing the noisy and chaotic voices behind him, he put away the nostalgia in his eyes, and smiled alluringly at the men in black who were chasing after him.

They turned around and flew down to the bamboo raft docked on the shore. When they were about to approach, they only had time to see a wall of fire blocking their way.

Through the scorching flames, they saw that the woman in red on the bamboo raft was also ignited with black flames.

But instead of struggling to frown, showing pain, she even smiled calmly, free and easy.

The officers and soldiers who were ordered by the emperor to go to Huanyu Mountain also arrived at this moment, but they only had time to see a black flame flying into the air, and the black flame exploded with the loud and clear sound of the phoenix.

The bursting gray-blue light beam suddenly turned into golden-red, and a phoenix bathed in fire streaked across the night sky, with countless black and white flowers swirling around it.

No one saw Shang Jingyao's appearance, but since then there have been rumors that Shang Jingyao set herself on fire and turned into a phoenix.So far, no common people have ever seen her. Because of this, there are more and more rumors. Gradually, Shang Jingyao was deified.
The next day, the news about King Qin's suspected rebellion spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. In addition to the crown prince's people exaggerating, Su Zhen also contributed a lot to the old Zhutou's people.

Outside the Su Family Ancestral Hall, Su Zhen waited overnight on the roof.

Yan Huiran was overjoyed when she heard the news of her return, but she didn't know why, but she didn't want to come out to meet her.

Su Zhen's hair and clothes were stained with a lot of dew at night, the cool wind blew through, the hair stood on end, and she sneezed involuntarily.

Looking at Yan Huiran's maid, Qing Rong knocked on the door of the ancestral hall with a food box, she didn't care about the coolness of her body, she rubbed her goosebumped arms twice through her clothes, and quickly jumped off the roof.

Qingrong suddenly saw a person fall from the roof and almost knocked over the food box in his hand.

"Ouch!"

Su Zhen's feet slipped and brushed on the spot, supported the food box with one hand, put one foot against the wooden post behind her, turned sideways with all her strength, and stood firmly on the spot.

Before Qingrong wanted to exclaim, he immediately made a silent gesture.

"Shh it's me! Don't be afraid!"

"Qingrong? Qingluo? Are you guys here? What's going on outside? There seems to be strange movement."

Yan Huiran's suspicious call came from the ancestral hall.

Inspired by Su Zhen's gaze, Qing Rong changed her words and said, "Ma'am, it's nothing, it's just that a cat jumped off the roof and scared the servants."

"So that's the case, have you bumped into it?"

"Madam, don't worry, the servant is fine!"

"That's good."

Hearing the silence in the ancestral hall returned, Yan Huiran did not become suspicious, Su Zhen hooked her fingers towards Qingrong.

Qingrong moved down the steps with her, and asked in a low voice, "Eldest Prince? Why are you here? Did you not return to Jinsexuan all night?"

"Ah."

"But, but Ma'am."

"I know, the weather is not good these days, it should be raining, you go back to Qixia Garden and bring some more clothes, and take care of my mother. She is not in good health, and the ancestral hall is cold and damp. Remember to open the windows more to ventilate If Aunt Liu comes looking for trouble, just take a broom and beat her out, don't let her disturb my mother's cleanliness. Also, beware of Aunt An, except you and Qing Luo, don't allow anyone to touch my mother's medicine."
