Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 42 The Anthropomorphic Ghost Painting
"Cough cough cough...how is it unlucky?"

"Presumably, if the painting is destroyed, will His Highness recover from illness?"

Chu Ziyan raised his eyelashes and looked at Zhao Mingyue for a while, the light in his eyes did not fade away: "Everyone thinks that Shuoyue caused the king's physical discomfort, but you suspect Cai Xiufeng? Where did you get such a bold guess? ?”

"Uh..." Zhao Mingyue thought for a while, and looked at Chu Ziyan with a pleasant smile, "If Mingyue tells the story, will His Highness start to get angry again because Mingyue is too smart?"

"Is this king ever angry with you because you are smart?"

Zhao Mingyue nodded fiercely: "You can be angry with me for anything."

"Then stop talking."

"Look!" Zhao Mingyue pointed at him.

Chu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, aware of his bad temper, blushed slightly and turned his head away, covering his mouth and coughing when he saw Mingyue not coaxing or begging for mercy from the corner of his eye.

Zhao Mingyue laughed loudly, pushed him to sit on the edge of the bed and patted his back for him to go down the steps.

Chu Ziyan turned his head and squinted at this man: "It's not your fault, it's you who said that if I treat you well, you will stay with me."

Did she ever say that?It seems that there is no impression.Seeing that he was about to turn his face again, Mingyue quickly stopped him by the shoulder: "Okay, okay, I'm kidding you."

"I just went to get the materials of the cremation case for Da Si Ming, and found that among the fourteen dead, three were of each attribute of wood, earth, gold, and water, and two were of the attribute of fire, so I guessed that it might be related to the painting. "

"Just based on this, you think it has something to do with painting?"

Mingyue reached out and pulled the quilt on his lap to cover him, got up and sat on the chair beside the bed.

"Three of those fourteen people were found to be missing spleen and heart. The five elements of the human body are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The element of metal is the lung, the element of wood is the liver, the element of water is the kidney, the element of fire is the heart, and the element of earth is the spleen. .”

"How does this relate to painting?"

"Among the attributes of the five elements, gold represents white; wood represents cyan; water represents black; fire represents red; earth represents yellow. This reminds me of Cai Xiufeng's paint. At that time, I felt that the color was bright and the smell was strong...Obviously Suddenly, I felt the breath of dead souls in the flower oil."

So at that time, she always felt that the smell was unrecognizable, as if she had smelled it before.

"Your Highness still remembers that when you saw Cai Xiufeng's paintings in the Golden Autumn Palace, you said that Cai Xiufeng's hands are very special. I always felt that I missed something before, but now that I think about it, his hands are not the same person's hands."

Chu Ziyan looked at her and said slowly: "There are some differences between people's left and right hands, so we can't make a conclusion based on this."

"That's why I say speculation."

"So you want to ruin my portrait?"

"Actually, there are several methods that can be deduced. In the palace, Cai Xiufeng leaked that he had run out of red paint, and that night Concubine Rong burned herself to death in the palace. If I guess correctly, Concubine Rong A person of the fire attribute."

Looking at Zhao Mingyue's calm and well-organized reasoning, Chu Ziyan was a little surprised. He didn't know that a person could remember those details so clearly, and she had meant to praise Cai Xiufeng's character before, but it didn't affect her. her judgment.

Zhao Mingyue continued: "Or compare the portraits of His Highness, the Prince, and Princess Meng to see if there is any difference, but compared to these methods, it will be faster to directly destroy His Highness's paintings for verification, and if not, then later You can ask Cai Xiufeng to draw another picture for you."

"Then just do that." Chu Ziyan agreed without hesitation.

Zhao Mingyue nodded, got up and walked out, and turned back when she felt something was wrong: "Why don't you come down and do it, Your Highness."

"what?"

"If it's really Cai Xiufeng, then the prince's illness is probably caused by the painting. Everyone in your family thinks that you caused the disaster. I think it's time to change their thinking."

Chu Ziyan looked at Zhao Mingyue for a long time, and the surprise in his eyes made him even more moved.What kind of fate made him lucky to meet such a special child?His life, which is so blind to light, can actually meet such light.

"Do you think this is bad? I don't know if I have the ability to destroy that painting, so it's better for His Highness to let the Chief Commander do this, and then..."

"come here."

Wouldn't he want to beat her up again? Although he didn't feel any pain when he beat her up, she glanced at the books on the table, so she wanted to hit her with them again?No, this book is a bit thick, it will hurt!

"You want me to go over?" He had already lifted the quilt.

Zhao Mingyue has already run over: "I'm here."

She stood by the bed waiting for him to leave, but Chu Ziyan suddenly stretched out his hand to her: "Mingyue, give me a hug."

"What, what do you mean?"

It was this sentence again, Chu Ziyan suddenly smiled, like a pear-white flower under the twilight, Zhao Mingyue looked a little lost, but he said softly: "Zhao Mingyue, hug me."

I'm going, I feel like being thrown into my arms, Zhao Mingyue doesn't know why, she has a very rascally silly joy, looks around, smiles sullenly, and then says helplessly.

"Okay, hug you."

Zhao Mingyue hugged him gently, and patted him on the back so pretentiously, Chu Ziyan, what should you do if you leave me, alas, Zhao Mingyue, you are really important...

"Ah." Zhao Mingyue immediately pushed him away and touched his neck and stood up, "Why are you biting again?"

"Hehehe..." Chu Ziyan showed a perverted and beautiful smile, "I just want to bite you."

"I shouldn't have believed you!" Mingyue said angrily.

Chu Ziyan leaned back on the bed and said, "If the prince's illness is related to the painting, do you know what will happen?"

"What happened..." Mingyue didn't want to talk to such a sick person, but soon she figured out what he was going to say, "The painting will involve Chu Zirui."

Cai Xiufeng was from Chu Zirui's Sage Village, and it was Chu Zirui who recommended him to paint for the emperor in the palace.And who will benefit the most after the prince is sick?Of course it's Chu Zirui who is now proud of the spring breeze, he even came to the door to show off that day.

"Cai Xiufeng portrayed so many people in the palace, and only the crown prince was the one who had the accident. If I guessed it wrong, it would be that Cai Xiufeng cast a sorcery on a specific person. Even so, if Chu Zirui knew that Cai Xiufeng had such a wicked He even dares to ask him to draw pictures for the emperor, and his thoughts are very unrighteous, such a person should make him suffer..."

Seeing what she said, Chu Zirui laughed: "Since Mingyue said he deserved to suffer, he deserved to suffer. Go and call Da Si Ming over."

Wu Xu came to Jing'an Hall.

Chu Ziyan asked: "The Commander-in-Chief has been investigating the case of burning corpses recently, do you have any clues now?"

Wu Xu submitted the information and said: "Before, my subordinates couldn't conclude that it was the so-called evil, but the newly obtained information shows that the classification of the five elements of the deceased is very regular. The distribution of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth is one less than the fire attribute. Besides, there are three..."

Chu Ziyan: "You give the information to me."

Wu Xu submitted the information, and the five elements filled in on it were obviously added by Zhao Mingyue. Chu Ziyan looked at Zhao Mingyue, and this kid had an innocent and irrelevant face, which made him faintly smile. meaning.

He closed the file and returned it to Wu Xu: "The death method of Concubine Rong in the previous palace is very similar to these, and Da Si Ming believes that these can be related."

"It has something to do with it. If I guess correctly, Concubine Rong should belong to the five elements of fire. In this case, the five elements in this case of burning corpses will reach a state of balance, but I haven't thought about why the murderer needs these five elements... "

Wu Xu suddenly realized that he had been in a dead end recently, and at this moment he suddenly realized it when he was reminded like this.

"Among the dead, there were those who lacked a heart and spleen. The murderer wanted to ingest the five internal organs? Could it be..." Wu Xu suddenly realized that both Chu Ziyan and Zhao Mingyue looked at him expectantly.

He cheered up and said, "It's for nourishment!"

Zhao Mingyue almost fell, Da Si Ming, aren't you telling a bad joke?However, this kind of inference is undeniable. According to the different attributes of the five elements, practitioners are suitable for practicing the five elements that are more suitable for them. It exists forever, but only for a while.

Mingyue couldn't help but said: "Master, Mingyue found a very strange thing. No matter how you look at it, the portrait of His Highness is more realistic than before. Almost everyone in the painting can walk out..."

"Hmph." Wu Xu gasped and stroked his beard and said again, "Could it be..."

Mingyue suddenly didn't dare to expect his epiphany, but this time Wu Xu suddenly said: "Mingyue, go and get that painting."

"Yes."

Zhao Mingyue went to fetch the painting.

Wu Xu opened his heavenly eyes to stare at the portrait, his complexion became more and more dignified, and then he pointed at Qi with his sword, and said a name: "Fu Dou."

Like the sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed, Wu Xu had an extra lightsaber in his hand, and Mingyue also saw the word "Fu Dou" appearing on the back of Wu Xu's hand.

Horcrux.

Da Si Ming's Fu Mo Sword, the name of the Horcrux, Fu Dou.

"Spirit fight."

He read another name, Da Si Ming Fu Mo Talisman, Horcrux name, Spirit Dou.

Spirit Dou seemed to have the master's idea, and flew close to the portrait. A magic circle appeared on the screen, and Wu Xu's subduing demon sword pierced into the center of the magic circle...

The portrait suddenly twisted, as if struggling in pain, and then the talisman lights intersected, the portrait instantly regained its calm, and Wu Xu retracted the two Horcruxes.

Chu Ziyan took a deep breath and gasped in pain.

"Is Your Highness alright?" Mingyue supported Chu Ziyan on the bed, "Is it alright?"

Chu Ziyan exhaled heavily, looked at Mingyue and said, "It's okay, I feel that my body is not so heavy."

Wu Xu said: "It's all subordinates who didn't realize it for a while and caused His Highness to suffer. This technique is called 'personification'. The soul of the subject is captured by the painting. The subject becomes weaker and weaker, and the portrait becomes more and more realistic. Finally, the subject dies and the portrait becomes more and more realistic." Resurrection, that's terrible!" Wu Xu said in horror.

Chu Ziyan nodded: "The Chief Commander knows what to do?"

"This subordinate enters the palace immediately!"
