Jiaochu

The flute player will be nearby.

Ye Lingxi raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on the figure on the treetop. Yan Fei threw a hidden weapon, and the figure suddenly disappeared. The Long Shadow Guard immediately chased in that direction. After the sound of the flute disappeared, the living dead closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep under the soothing sound of the flute.

A crisis was resolved.

Huo Xuan immediately showed a smile and complimented Ye Lingxi: "I know that the princess is blessed with great fortune, so she will be fine. What kind of music did the princess play just now? I have never heard of it. Please give me some advice." He felt something strange as he spoke. With murderous intent, he turned his head and met a pair of eyes as cold and deep as cold stars, "Isn't this the banquet guard? I sent people to look for you for several days, but there was not even a trace of you. Where have you been hiding these days? Now?" Yanfei didn't answer.

At this time, Anqinghou came over, followed by the frightened Wang family and his son. After Huo Xuan explained the situation, Anqinghou thanked Ye Lingxi and Yanfei and asked how Ye Lingxi should deal with these living dead. Ye Lingxi said that these people have been planted with puppet threads in their bodies. Once the puppet threads in their bodies are awakened, they will turn into zombie killing machines, and they can only burn all the corpses.

An Qinghou immediately asked people to prepare kerosene. Huo Xuan said that his second sister had fainted and asked Ye Lingxi to come over and have a look. On the way, he asked Ye Lingxi how she escaped. She said that there was a secret passage in the room. Huo Xuan praised it. She was so smart. Yan Fei asked him why he came to the palace to fight and kill people when he was not sleeping at home in the middle of the night. Could it be that he wanted to rebel? Huo Xuan said bluntly, "If you want to rebel, you have to wait until now."

After entering the royal study, Ye Lingxi took Li Fei's pulse and said she was fine, but fainted from fright. She gave Li Fei a sniff of the bottle of medicated oil she had collected from the high priest, and she soon woke up. When she came over, she yelled "Ghost!" when she saw Ye Lingxi for the first time. Huo Xuan comforted her, "Second sister, it's okay. This is a princess and not a ghost." After Li Fei calmed down, she wanted to go out. Look, Huo Xuan said people were burning outside and told her not to go out to watch, and she almost fainted from the fright.

Ye Lingxi asked what happened, and Concubine Li winked to stop Huo Xuan from telling her. Huo Xuan said that Ye Lingxi saved everyone, and people want to repay their kindness, so she told them all the causes and consequences, which made Concubine Li very angry. She felt that this younger brother I was really confused. I was so fascinated by the beauty of this little princess that I spilled all my secrets.

Over the years, Emperor Zhou became more and more ignorant, arrogant and lewd. He indulged in women and indulged in pleasure all day long. As a result, corrupt officials were in power and the people were in dire straits. Xi Yan was once again eyeing the surrounding countries and had already fought with Qi State Hui. One day, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty came to war. Amid internal and external troubles, the Marquis of Anqing decided to depose the emperor and establish a new king to eliminate evil and reorganize the dynasty.

The first step to eliminate is the power of the Wang family. Although the two families are in-laws, the Wang family father and son are greedy for power and money, have many gang members, and secretly collude with the high priest, so they must be uprooted.

But I didn't expect these living dead to appear, and almost failed.

After listening, Ye Lingxi asked meaningfully, "Is Emperor Zhou really gone?"

Li Fei rolled her eyes, "Is he still alive?"

Huo Xuan advised: "Second sister, don't be angry first. Let the princess finish her words first. Princess, please speak." Ye Lingxi said, "Actually, Emperor Zhou is not Emperor Zhou. He is just a puppet like the living dead outside." .”

Hearing this, Huo Xuan and Li Fei looked surprised. Ye Lingxi told what he had seen behind the gauze tent before, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. After unfolding it, the paper turned yellow and the edges were damaged. It was a few years old, and it contained an extremely sinister magic that could turn living people into puppets. The siblings took a look, and she walked over, lit the paper on fire, and burned it.

"I haven't seen it clearly yet, why did you burn it?" Li Fei said dissatisfied.

Huo Xuan said, "Second sister, this harmful thing should have been burned a long time ago." Ye Lingxi glanced at Yan Fei and said, "I have found out about the assassin. He was sent by the Wang family." Huo Xuan said. Xuan thought for a while and asked Ye Lingxi to wait. He went out and brought the Wang family and his son in to confront him.

Faced with the evidence listed by Yan Fei, Wang Weicai took action, but it was not his idea and he was acting under orders.

Ye Lingxi felt chilled when she heard that it was her eldest sister who gave the order. Yan Fei looked at her with soft eyes and a firm voice that gave people a sense of solidity and reliability. "The matter has not been investigated clearly yet." She nodded. You know what he means, it's too early to draw conclusions.

Concubine Li suddenly looked shocked, "Could the Queen be a puppet too?!" Ye Lingxi said, "No." Concubine Li retorted, "Why not? If she wasn't a puppet, how could she send someone to kill you? "Ye Lingxi looked at Wang Weicai, who looked panicked, "The Queen said that the princess came with bad intentions and would do bad things." He then defended, "Actually, the Queen didn't really want to kill the princess, she just wanted to scare her back."

Huo Xuan smiled and said: "If others were scared, they would have been scared away. But the princess is different. The living dead outside did not scare the princess."

There was a fire outside, and Yan Fei left first with Ye Lingxi.

Huo Xuan sent a team of people to take the Wang family father and son out of the palace first, and told the three of them not to run around and be careful of the sword without eyes. Then he sent Concubine Li back to the palace, leaving a team of people to protect his second sister. He left first.

Yanfei planned to take Ye Lingxi out of the palace. She wanted to go somewhere, so the two of them arrived at the gate of Changqiu Palace, which was Ye Sirou's bedroom. When the two walked in, they saw that the lights were still on in the dormitory. After a while, Man'er opened the door and came over to salute Ye Lingxi. Her eyes were still red and she looked like she had just cried. Ye Lingxi asked Man'er when he entered the palace, and Man'er replied that he entered the palace two years ago.

Two years ago, I probably didn’t know much about it, Ye Ling Xixin said.

"Your Majesty has something for the princess. Princess, please come with me." Ye Lingxi told Yan Fei not to worry with her eyes, and she followed Man'er into the bedroom. After closing the door, Man'er suddenly knelt down and begged her, "Princess, please save your Majesty. Your Majesty is not a bad person. Your life was saved by your Majesty. As long as I can save your Majesty, I am willing to work as a horse for the Princess." She asked. Man'er got up, but Man'er couldn't afford it. She promised to save her eldest sister. After letting Man'er get up again, she asked Man'er if she had noticed anything strange about her eldest sister after she entered the Changqiu Palace as an errand. You must tell the truth.

Man'er thought about it and looked a little hesitant. It seemed that she had indeed noticed something. She said that she had seen Ye Sirou sitting behind the dressing table talking to the mirror several times, as if she had changed into a different person.

Ye Lingxi walked to the dressing table and looked at the bronze mirror for a while, then sat down on the stool and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Man'er said that Ye Sirou was sitting in front of the mirror like this before, talking to herself. Ye Lingxi raised her hand and shushed, and Man'er stopped talking.

Seeing Ye Lingxi sitting motionless and staring at the bronze mirror, as if she was a little dazed, Man'er felt a little nervous and didn't dare to look at the bronze mirror for fear that some monster or ghost would suddenly appear in the mirror.

The candle flame swayed slightly, and the cold light reflected by the bronze mirror swayed slightly. The mirror suddenly became chaotic, and the next moment Ye Lingxi's consciousness sank into that chaos...
