Chongxi's idiotic prince is married on behalf of his concubine

Chapter 138 Devouring (1)
"Wuying Clan?" Hua Chao looked surprised. She had heard about this family in her previous life, and she was still neighbors with her family, but they had no contact with each other.She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could she still have a fellow villager in this world?

Dongfang Ye looked at her very curiously, and said with a smile, "When I have free time in the future, I will take you to Nanyue to meet them."

Hua Chao smiled faintly, as if he was thinking, but his thoughts quickly returned to the topic, and he frowned slightly puzzled, "Could it be that the Wu Clan was not affected at all when the other families fell?"

Dongfang Ye shook his head, "No. I once heard from my master that the power of the witch clan was originally passed on to women, but since then, all of their power has suddenly disappeared, and only men can get the power of witchcraft." Inheritance. Moreover, the number of male descendants of the Wu clan is also decreasing, and it is pitifully few now."

Hua Chao said clearly: "So that's how it is."

It may also be because of this that the Wu Clan has been hiding from the world for many years. It was not until Hua Chao was attacked last time that Dongfang Ye knew that there were members of the Wu Clan lurking in the capital.

He stuck to Hua Chao, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled: "It stands to reason that with the power of witchcraft, it shouldn't be so small."

In other words, if he really fought against the witch clan, Hua Chao was not just sealed in the art of controlling beasts before, and suffered some trauma.

Hua Chao thought for a while, raised her eyebrows, and smiled coldly, "I probably know the reason." She looked at him with deep meaning, and said slowly, "Your fifth brother is really charming!"

Seeing the deep meaning in her words, Dongfang Ye was slightly stunned, as if thinking of something, the eyes that looked directly at her suddenly deepened.He knew that Hua Chao had his own opinion on this matter, so he didn't open his mouth to point it out.

"No matter what, when you meet the witch tribe again, you must not be brave anymore. If you have something to do, you can tell the shadow guard to take care of it. Their witchcraft is useless to ordinary people." He just continued to instruct, with a face But there was a touch of worry.

Hua Chao only nodded.

Dongfang Ye sighed softly, and asked again: "What are you going to do, lady?"

Hua Chao looked at him hesitantly, "...as soon as possible."

"Okay." Dongfang Ye said quietly, and after a long while, he finally returned to normal, slowly stretched out his hands, and quietly embraced her in his arms, "My lady, remember to keep your word!"

General's House.

The night was dark, and the inside and outside of the mansion gradually became quiet.

After Ji Yan left Ji Fei's courtyard, she went straight back to her room.Her room is divided into an inner room and an outer room, and no one else can enter the inner room except herself.

After dismissing the maid and closing the door, she turned around and stepped into the inner room.The room is very dark, but even without lighting, she can clearly remember where each object is placed.

As soon as she crossed the threshold, she smelled a stranger's breath, before she had time to react, there was a soft pop, and the warm yellow candlelight instantly lit up the room, and the flickering light jumped happily with the flames stand up.

Ji Yan was startled, and saw a woman sitting on a chair beside her, waving her hand lightly, with a crisp laugh, "Don't come here, Miss Ji."

Ji Yan frowned slightly, and quickly returned to normal. She looked seriously at the smiling woman in white in the candlelight, and slowly said, "I don't know what's the matter with the Ninth Princess' sudden late-night visit?"

"Ms. Ji should know the reason why I'm here?" The woman's laughter came again, and she said disapprovingly.

Ji Yan was secretly a little annoyed, and said coldly: "I am not the roundworm in the stomach of the Ninth Princess, how can I know what the Ninth Princess is thinking?"

But Hua Chao didn't care, stood up, smiled casually and said: "Thankfully I came here in person, I thought Miss Ji must be a smart person, but it seems that Miss Ji is not ready to cooperate at all. That's it , I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to keep the secret about Miss Ji."

Ji Yan's heart trembled suddenly, "I don't know what the Ninth Princess means?"

"As the saying goes, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Even if you want to play tricks, you should choose the right time. Don't you think so, Ms. Ji?" Hua Chao shook his head with emotion, and immediately changed his words meaningfully: "Ah! Wrong, I actually called you It's right for Young Master Ji." At this point, even the smile on his face became more meaningful.

She stared at Ji Yan, and said each word very slowly and carefully: "If people know that Miss Ji of the General's Mansion was actually a man, how do you think everyone will react?"

"How could you—" Almost in disbelief, Ji Yan was shocked suddenly, staring at Hua Chao with wide eyes.

Hua Chao's smile deepened, "Shocked, how did I know?"

Ji Yan was really shocked in her heart. It should be said that he never thought that the secret he had hidden for nearly 20 years would be revealed one day. At first, she thought that Hua Chao was just trying to deceive herself with words, but she didn't know that she really Hit the spot.

Ji Yan managed to calm down and steady her mind, "What do you want?"

Hua Chao raised his eyebrows lightly, "You should ask this question in reverse. Based on your behavior of assassinating me that night, I didn't twist your neck off on the spot now, which is enough to give you face."

At this moment, under the warm candlelight, even though the face was full of smiles, there was still a hint of coldness and sternness between the brows and eyes. Seeing this, Ji Yan immediately became vigilant.

Hua Chao looked at his defensive actions, smiled, and said, "Don't be nervous, I've already done it if I wanted to kill you, and I will never hold back until now." After a pause, she waved a welcome to Ji Yan Posture, "Let's sit down and talk about business first."

She sat back on the chair first, glanced at Ji Yan, and asked lightly: "Tell me, why do you want to kill me?"

But Ji Yan didn't dare to move rashly, and still stood where she was, without opening her mouth to answer.

But Hua Chao didn't care, folded his hands on his chest, and said lightly with a sense of complacency that saw through the facts, "I guess it's because of Dongfang Sheng?"

Ji Yan continued to remain silent.

Hua Chao went on to say: "You saw Dongfang Sheng approaching me but kept neglecting you, so you thought he had special thoughts on me. So, you became mad with jealousy and wanted to get rid of me, didn't you? "

Judging from Ji Yan's behavior, it can already be known that this is a very paranoid person, and once paranoid becomes crazy, it will become a kind of pathology.But obviously, Ji Yan is already a symbol of this kind of sickness.Although Hua Chao couldn't understand his morbid heart, but he could figure out some of his behavior.

Ji Yan was still cold-eyed, and finally admitted: "So what?"

Hua Chao looked at him with a half-smile, smiled coldly, and said slowly: "You can really think! Dongfang Sheng wanted to get close to me, and he did have a purpose, but it was not the one you imagined. Because he suspected I was the one who wanted to kill him in the camp, so he just wanted to prove whether it was true or not. Unfortunately..." At this point, the sneer at the corner of her mouth gradually became tinged with sarcasm.
