Not only that, but Wu Qi's eye circles are a little red, I don't know if it's because I've only seen A-Niang.

"What do you want to ask?" Du Tinglan asked bravely, she was obviously not used to facing such Wu Qi.

Wu Qi said indifferently: "Even though I tried to break my head, I couldn't figure out where I showed my flaws. I came to you today just to ask if you guys did any tricks in the room that night?"

Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, if you want to answer, answer, if you don't want to answer, don't bother.

Teng Yuyi didn't answer, but quietly looked at Wu Qi.

She looked slowly and carefully.

In the past, she had only seen Wu Qi's external appearance, but this time, she wanted to see the inside of this person.

The truth of the previous life will never be traced, but as long as the murderer is the same person, the views on the same matter must be the same, then some words can be understood by just asking face to face. After examining Wu Qi for a long time, she slowly opened her mouth: "I can answer you this question, but before that, I have to ask you two questions. As long as you answer truthfully, you will know the answer immediately."

Wu Qi didn't say anything at first, why should one answer be exchanged for two answers, but she also knew that if there was no problem that night, Lin Chengyou might not be able to capture Wang Li in time, so even if she was found after the incident, she would not be able to get it. Testify against her.

All her plans were planted that night, so she must know the truth.

The answer is right in front of you, and it's hard to give up if you don't ask. After a while of confrontation, she compromised: "You said."

"Assuming that the prince fell in love with a certain lady, the emperor also thought that this little lady was an ideal candidate for the crown princess. The girl was still serving filial piety, and the prince took special care of her, and even revealed that he wanted to marry her after her filial piety. If you know about this, will someone murder this girl?"

There was silence in the room, this question was a no-brainer, Du Tinglan was at a loss, and Lin Chengyou also looked surprised.

But maybe it was related to the prince, Wu Qi thought about it for a moment, and actually answered seriously: "If I didn't practice sorcery, this question might be another answer, but since I came into contact with this kind of bad personality, my temperament has changed for a day. It's more extreme than a day. As long as I can achieve my wish, I'm willing to try any method. If the prince's heart can't be changed... If I don't get rid of that girl, how can it be my turn to be the prince? Even if I can't do it well for a while It is decided that Master Jing Chen will also encourage me to take action."

Teng Yuyi clenched her fingers, enough.

It was no longer just a guess in her heart, but she finally heard the motive of murdering her in her previous life from the murderer's mouth.

She felt a chill in her heart, but her teeth rattled.

Thinking about the tragic situation in which she drowned in ice water in her previous life, and then looking at Wu Qi's appearance as neither a ghost nor a ghost, the phrase "Heaven's way is good" almost blurted out.

Her heart was full of violent storms, but unexpectedly, her gaffe fell into the eyes of others, Yu Guang caught Lin Chengyou's gaze, and hurriedly stabilized her mind.

Wu Qi was startled by herself, and after a while she laughed at herself: "Up to now, I have nothing to excuse, but before I formally dealt with Master Jing Chen, I have never harmed anyone. Too much to win me over, treat me like a daughter, teach me self-defense techniques, and take care of me everywhere. I was young at that time, and I didn't know her hidden evil intentions. I mistakenly regarded her as a good teacher and friend. There is no injustice in my mother, and my wife will tell me that my mother and father loves my sister more, and the sorcery she teaches is extremely destructive. Over time, my actions will naturally become more and more extreme. Besides—"

The corners of her mouth drooped down: "In order to pinch me, they secretly encouraged me to do bad things. The idea of ​​murdering my sister was originally conceived by Wang Li, but in the end, I was just a self-righteous puppet that was used by them. ."

Teng Yuyi's eyes were sharp as sharp swords, and Peng Yugui had said similar things before his death in Caifeng Tower. It is precisely because the imperial court is very aware of the various harms of practicing sorcery that it is determined to clear the Wujimen.

But how exactly was Wu Qi being lured to go astray, and what does it have to do with her? She only knew that she died tragically at the hands of these people in her previous life.

It was a pity that there was not enough time to ask for another question. She released her clenched fist and continued to ask calmly, "Did you want to steal my sachet at the banquet at Chengwang's mansion that night?"

Wu Qi looked inexplicable: "Stealing sachets?"

Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou looked at each other in surprise, could it not be Wu Qi.

"I never stole your sachet." Wu Qi said lightly, "I didn't even think about whether to deal with you, so how could I startle the snake? You underestimate me too. I rushed to the Chengwang Mansion that night, but it was just Just looking for a chance to meet the prince."

Teng Yu nodded thoughtfully.

"What's the answer I want?" Wu Qi looked up at Teng Yuyi.

Teng Yuyi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked back, "Isn't the answer in my last question?"

Wu Qi made a sudden realization: "Is it because you are worried that the thief will still shoot, and since then, he has left some kind of mark in the room every night?"

Teng Yuyi sneered: "In the end, I couldn't catch the little thief, but I caught the big thief like you. It's really amazing."

Wu Qi's chest was ups and downs, she suddenly got up, and then she fell back, she said in a dejected manner: "Forget it, without you, Teng Yuyi, sooner or later, she will show her feet elsewhere. I know from the fact that Wang Li has hidden so many of my handles, even if I don't have you this time. If they escaped, they will not be able to escape their shackles in the future.”

"Okay." Lin Chengyou was expressionless, "It's your turn to answer the question."

Wu Qi pulled the corner of her mouth: "I remember that the law stipulates that as long as the accomplice takes the initiative to provide clues, the sentence can be reduced as appropriate?"

Lin Chengyou: "How to do it depends on the clues you provide."

Wu Qi was silent for a while: "That time when a big monster suddenly appeared in the Yuzhen Nuguan Guan, I was also terrified. After staying at home for a few days, I couldn't help but ran to the Guanzhong to ask what happened to the teacher, who was from the teacher. When I came back from outside, I seemed to be in a good mood. I drank a lot of alcohol for the first time, and told me mysteriously that there would be a catastrophe in Chang'an in a few months. I asked her what the disaster was, and she realized that she had lost her temper after drinking, and she refused to talk about her life or death."

Catastrophe? Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou frowned at the same time.

If it refers to resistance to the world, and the disaster is clearly imminent, why do you say it is "a few months later", and since the master knows that there will be a major disaster, how can he not understand the origin of the disaster.

After saying this, Wu Qi looked indifferent: "Is this clue heavy enough?"

Lin Chengyou was noncommittal, turned around and took Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to leave the prison.

"Wait a minute!" Wu Qi hurriedly crawled to the iron cage, "I'm done talking—I told my aunt just now that my aunt's remnant was not thrown into the water that night!"

The three stopped, Lin Chengyou seemed a little unbelievable: "Where is the remnant soul?"

Wu Qi said: "Hidden under the bed of my academy. Wang Li said that there are many people around Qinglong Temple. If Huo Songlin didn't escape in time, he might be caught on the spot. When people wake up, they will definitely say who planned to harm her that night. If my side is exposed, the whole game will fail, so Huo Songlin's wine urn contains Li Ying'er's remnant soul, and my sister's remnant soul is He hid it under a bridge pier near Qinglong Temple, and I took it back the next day and put it in the academy, today is the seventh day of the Buddha Bathing Festival, if I act in time, I will definitely be able to save it!

Lin Chengyou's face froze: "Let's go."

Teng Yuyi hurriedly followed Lin Chengyou's pace, but when she looked back, she saw that Wu Qi was still clinging to the cage, obviously because she couldn't get Lin Chengyou's right words, she was full of unwillingness.

Teng Yuyi said to Lin Chengyou, "Wait a minute, I'll leave after a few words with her."

He quickly returned to the cage and said in a low voice, "I haven't seen you talk about it for two days after being locked in the cell, why did you say it today?"

Wu Qi didn't expect Teng Yuyi to return, and looked at Teng Yuyi inquisitively: "You seem to be curious about me, but it's okay to tell you, I hurt my elder sister because I wanted to be a princess, and I was caught in a bull's-eye for a while. The wicked take advantage of me, and now I am a complete defeat, why should I harm my sister again? Besides—"

Teng Yu intends to supplement Wu Qi in her heart. If she doesn't do this, how can she soften her heart and plead for her in front of the imperial court.

This is Wu Qi, maybe she wasn't that bad originally, but there is no turning back if you get involved with sorcery.

Want to get away with this?

"I persuade you to die." Teng Yuyi smiled coldly, "What about the daughter of Zhongcheng? I heard that the crown prince was also begging the saint to punish the case, and the master Jingchen, who had been under the law for a while, had murdered the king. Heart, now the entire court knows that these cases involve treason, and everyone avoids it for fear. Don't even think about being acquitted, it's not bad for the entire martial family. Besides, you know it better than anyone else. , If you don't get arrested this time, I don't know how many little ladies will be murdered by you in the future. It's not an exaggeration to break you by hanging. Stay in the prison of Dali Temple. It is said that it is at least ten years old. captivity."

Wu Qi's face changed in an instant. I don't know if she heard that the crown prince also asked for severe punishment, or she heard that her exoneration was far away.

She looked angrily at the back of Teng Yuyi who was walking away, leaned forward, grabbed the cage and said, "Teng Yuyi, why do you hate me so much? I didn't hurt you!"

This time, Teng Yuyi's footsteps did not stop at all.

In the cell, only Wu Qi's shouts echoed in the stone walls, and she let her grasp the knuckles of her fingers white, and the only answer to her was her own angry breathing.

***

Lin Chengyou ordered Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to go home, while he galloped to Qingyun Temple to ask for his master.

When Teng Yuyi returned home, on the one hand, he kept his attention to the news of the Wu family, and on the other hand, he secretly wondered what the "big disaster" that Shitai Jingchen said was referring to.

The next day, I heard that Wu Hao woke up, but people were a lot more stupid than before. Daoist Qing Xuzi said that the soul has been separated from the body for too long, and the spiritual roots are somewhat damaged. I have to recognize the people around me one by one. Two or three months.

When Du Tinglan heard the news, she asked Teng Yuyi to visit Wu Zhang at the Wu family's house that day.

Wu Hang's room was full of classmates, and everyone was whispering to Wu Hang.

Wu Zhang sat on the bed like a wooden stake. Facing the care of her classmates, she smiled blankly, but her eyes were dull, and she couldn't even name a classmate.

When everyone talked to her, she was either in a daze, or turned her head to look for it in confusion.

Deng Weili and Liu Siniang asked Wu Xiang softly, "What are you looking for? Do you want something to eat?"

Wu Zhang opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "Ah, where is Aqi?"

The classmates looked at each other and fell silent collectively.

In the silence, Deng Weili pursed his lips bitterly, and forced a smile: "You have been bored at home for a long time? Would you like to go out to relax? The day after tomorrow, my grandfather's birthday will come to our house to play."

Wu Zhang smiled stupidly: "Oh."

The classmates laughed along, and the atmosphere in the room warmed up again.

After a while, Deng Weili pulled Teng Yuyi outside the house and said, "You only returned to Chang'an this year, and you haven't had a good time with us in previous years. I've already told everyone that you're the guest of honor this time, and the day after tomorrow, we will host a banquet at my house. Come to my house."

Teng Yuyi slanted Deng Weili: "Are you trying to be lazy? Did you forget that I'm more lazy than you? I'm good at drinking, but you can find someone else to order and arrange things."

The classmate next to him couldn't help laughing, Deng Weili pinched Teng Yuyi's cheek: "Look, this is the one who dares to openly say that he is lazy. It's okay to be lazy on weekdays, you have to help me that night, or I will I'm just looking for trouble for you. Anyway, I told you, you have to come and greet me earlier. "

Two days later, Teng Yuyi was well groomed at home. Seeing that it was getting late, she invited her sister to Deng's house for a banquet.

The maids enthusiastically led the sisters to the inner courtyard to find Deng Weili, only to find out that they were the first to arrive. Deng Weili was still dressing in the room. Hearing that they were so happy that they came, he went down to the corridor to greet them in person.

The atmosphere of the entire Deng Mansion is the same as that of Deng Shizhong, which is full of turbulence and quick talk.

That night, the guests of the Deng family were full of guests, and the garden was full of colorful and beautiful shadows. Teng Yuyi was surrounded by her classmates. She was busy posting "double land". , She was full of doubts and left the flower hall under the guise of going to the clean room.

After coming out, Teng Yuyi raised her head and looked around. Seeing Duanfu following far behind, she felt a little relieved and went straight to a very quiet rockery in the garden. She wanted to let Xiaoya out, but the Xuanyin bell on her wrist suddenly rang. When he got up, Teng Yuyi was rushing to draw his sword, when suddenly a figure fell from the tree and said in a low voice, "Come here."

"Sir?"

After the two cats arrived at the rockery.

Teng Yuyi raised his head and glanced at Lin Chengyou. He was wearing a sapphire blue robe with silver flower pattern. His eyes were brighter than the brilliance above his head.

"Take the sword back." Lin Chengyou listened attentively to the movements around him, and whispered to Teng Yuyi.

Teng Yuyi did as she was told, and whispered, "Sir, was there an evil thing nearby just now?"

"There is a land that is passing by, but I have already taken it away." Lin Chengyou said, "By the way, since you and I have met here, there is no need for someone else to go to the Teng Mansion to inform you that tomorrow I will go outside the city to take a walk , do you want to follow along?"

"Go." Teng Yuyi's eyes lit up, "Hey, there are no ghosts in the city?"

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, "Where did so many ghosts come from? You managed to attract dozens of them last time, and you killed them all."

After he finished speaking, he secretly thought that something was wrong. Didn't he clearly say that he arranged the bunch of ghosts last time?

"I mean—" Lin Chengyou tried to make up for it calmly, "I like to fight with evil things in a pile, because it's fun to fight. Last time, I happened to be tired, and the sword of the holy and ignorant was stained. If you can't find a man, you will be called once."

Teng Yuyi turned her face to one side and snorted at the rose bush over there.

Lin Chengyou glanced at her, and said seriously: "It just so happens that I will also be short of staff tomorrow."

Teng Yuyi nodded.

She didn't answer, Lin Chengyou had nothing to say, so he had to say, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Gone."

silence. Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Teng Yuyi's face was still facing the other side, and she said as if nothing had happened: "I'm listening to the prince, right?"

Lin Chengyou looked at her for a while, and then looked away: "The reason why I took you this time is because Jue Sheng and Qizhi have other jobs to do tomorrow, and I can't do anything, so don't think too much."

"What am I thinking about?"

Lin Chengyou was suspicious. Why did Teng Yuyi look a little different tonight than usual? He couldn't see that he liked her.

He was silent for a while, then simply pointed to himself: "Hey, do I look like I like you?"
