Chapter 202 Marriage Talisman ([-])

However, her expression suddenly changed at the next moment. She saw the black line being cut in two by the dagger, like a ray of life being cut off neatly. With a shrill scream, the bright red dress fluttered and fell outside the palace wall.

She curled up on the ground in pain, and the white hands covering her face quickly became shriveled and cracked, like an enchanting flower that quickly withered and withered, and the backs of her hands were covered with black scars.

A head of black hair also suddenly turned gray and white, losing all its luster in the blink of an eye. The pair of charming almond eyes also became cloudy, and the deep-set eye sockets on both sides were also covered with black scars.

In just a few seconds, the bright and charming peach blossom lady turned into a haggard old woman.

Those cloudy eyes stared at the slender figure in front of him with great hatred.

Looking at the pair of spiteful eyes that were about to peel off his skin, cramp his bones, and scatter his bones into ashes, Yan Jiang asked politely: "Old lady, have we met before?"

The old woman's voice made those cloudy eyes become even more resentful. The next moment, a weird hoarse laugh came from her withered throat, like the last madness of a person before death. The black scars covering her face suddenly became distorted and muddy. His pupils suddenly shrank, as if he was about to reach the end of his life, and his withered hand struggled to grasp the air, as if trying to catch some phantom in the void.
"Ya!!!"

The dry and hoarse voice yelled a name. The next moment, the withered hand fell to the ground, and the shrunken pupils became slack and dim, no longer able to reveal a trace of the breath of a living person.

When he heard that name, Yan Jiang already knew who the "old woman" in front of him was.

The bull-headed horse-faced black and white Wuchang were among the four major arrests in Si Jingtai. Two were killed and two were injured. The only one who survived was this black and white Wuchang. After that, the two of them founded a seven-kill sect and assassinated two officials who had surrendered to the previous dynasty. After that, they were banqueted. Jiang led the Long Shadow Guards to attack Huanglong. Hei Wuchang lost his life and Bai Wuchang jumped off the cliff.

After briefly recalling the past, Yan Jiang used the tip of the knife to pick up the broken black thread. The strange red light that originally appeared had disappeared, showing a gray color. He used the tip of the knife to pick up the covering again. The bright red sleeve on the withered wrist, one end of the black thread was wrapped around the withered wrist, as if embedded in the skinny flesh.

After the two Long Shadow Guards took away the body, Yanjiang asked the other two Long Shadow Guards to go to another palace to let the Long Shadow Guards there retreat.

Two hours ago, Yanjiang secretly entered the palace and presented the mahogany box to Ye Lanchen. He suspected that the peach blossom lady had not left the palace, so he used a wait-and-see strategy.

Just in case, Ye Lanchen asked the Long Shadow Guards to go to each palace to inform them in advance.When Concubine Lan finished telling Ye Lingxi about the past, a Dragon Shadow Guard came over, and then the mother and daughter moved to the side hall.

……

When it was completely quiet outside, the lights came on inside the side hall.

A pair of small hands gently opened a crack in the door and looked outside with big, alert eyes.

"Lingxi, come back quickly."

"Mother, it's okay, I must have been caught."

Ye Lingxi slowly opened the door and waved hello to the slender figure who came over. Yanjiang came over and saluted, "The empress and princess were frightened. The man has been caught. I have sent people to report to the emperor. The emperor is waiting. Be here soon."

After hearing the last two sentences, both mother and daughter felt very relieved.

"Third uncle, who is that peach blossom lady and why did she come to Weiyang Palace?" Ye Lingxi asked quietly.

Yanjiang also quietly replied: "She must be interested in the princess being smart, lively and cute, and wants to kidnap her to be a wife of some boy."

Ye Lingxi: "..., when will brother Yan come to school?" Yanjiang replied: "That boy has a good foundation. He will be able to go to school in two days." He also sighed, "One day is like three autumns, that boy If he knew that the princess missed him so much, he would definitely not even need to take medicine and he would be fine."

"Then Third Uncle, please take me out of the palace now. I will definitely get better faster if you see me as a living person." Ye Lingxi suggested seriously.

Yanjiang glanced around quietly, as if he really planned to steal the person away, "It just so happens that the emperor hasn't come yet. Princess, go and tell the empress. I will just take the sack and put the princess in it later. I don't know what is going on." Take it back without realizing it.”

"Then I'll go tell my mother and concubine, Third Uncle, go find the sack."

"Princess, please don't let me slip and betray me."

……

When Ye Lanchen came over, Yanjiang hadn't found the sack yet, and Ye Lingxi hadn't told Concubine Lan yet.Seeing her father walking straight towards her mother and concubine to greet her, Ye Lingxi consciously waited beside her, looking at the two of them with relief. Eunuch De was very discerning and came over to greet her. Then both her father and her mother and concubine paid attention to her. On the body.

"Lingxi isn't scared, is he?" Ye Lanchen bent down and picked up the little girl and asked.

Ye Lingxi shook his head, "Lingxi wants to protect his mother and concubine, Lingxi is not afraid."

"The princess is so brave. Just now she opened the door and came out to take a look." Yan Jiang said.

Ye Lanchen tapped Ye Lingxi's head lovingly, "Don't be so courageous in the future." Ye Lingxi nodded obediently.

After letting the mother and daughter go back to the dormitory first, Ye Lanchen left Yanjiang to question him alone in the yard.

When Yanjiang talked about the identity of Lady Peach Blossom, Ye Lanchen looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the other party was not dead, and Yanjiang didn't expect that the person could survive.

"After suffering such a serious injury and falling off the cliff, Wei Chen thought that Bai Wuchang would definitely die. Unexpectedly, he survived and learned such a magic. Who taught him? "Yanjiang held his chin and thought for a while, then said to himself, "It seems like I have to go far away."

"It's not peaceful in the palace recently. You stay and let others go." Ye Lanchen said.

Yanjiang accepted the order and said: "Wei Chen wants to visit Mr. Xi Mu tomorrow, but I don't know if this Shengyin is available. Why don't you, Your Majesty, send someone to tell you in advance? For your sake, Your Majesty." , I believe Wei Chen will not be turned away."

Ye Lanchen said: "Tomorrow, Mr. Xi Mu will go to the Chancellor's Study Room to give lectures. You should also go and listen."

……

The next day, Yanjiang took a pair of puppets tied together with black threads to Si Tianjian. After studying the pair of puppets for more than a quarter of an hour, three star officers from Si Tianjian told Yan Jiang some information. .

A puppet tied together with black thread is called a resentful puppet. It is a witchcraft used to curse a couple. The caster uses cinnabar to write the name and birth date of the cursed person on the puppet. The two people are tied together by the black thread. They will become resentful over time and become a pair of resentful couples.

Yanjiang asked how to untie it, if he could just cut these black threads.Xingguan said no, if it was cut off forcibly, it would be counterproductive.
