The general said she doesn't take a wife

"It is the enchantress presented to Emperor Beichen by the countries in the southern border."

When these words came out of Sui Liang's mouth, Bei Chenling frowned slightly, while Lin Aoxue widened her eyes in shock, and asked subconsciously:

"The enchantress of Southern Border?"

Lin Aoxue's reaction was beyond Sui Liang and Bei Chenling's expectations. They looked at Lin Aoxue in surprise, Sui Liang nodded in confusion, and replied:

"Yes, that concubine is indeed from Southern Xinjiang."

Lin Aoxue swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her eyes were flickering.

She remembered what Yunyan told her, that her nurse knew the art of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang.

This must not be a coincidence.

Sharp thoughts flashed across her mind like lightning, making her involuntarily generate more guesses.

She frowned and asked:

"How is that concubine doing now? Can you still find her?"

Sui Liang shook his head and let out a long sigh:

"This concubine died a long time ago. It is said that the Emperor Beichen was afraid of the maidens of southern borders. He kept secrets about her and dared not approach her. Although this woman was not in the cold palace, the emperor never visited her. Later, this woman became a madman in the palace. Suicide by hanging."

Lin Aoxue was terrified behind hearing this.

She pursed her lips, imagining the scene at that time in her mind, only to feel that the hairs all over her body stood on end.

Without waiting for her to think more deeply, Sui Liang said again:

"Although this concubine is dead, the maid she married along with her has disappeared. After this incident happened, the emperor was extremely frightened, and he didn't order a thorough investigation, so let's just let it go."

Lin Aoxue's mood can no longer be described in terms of shock, her eyes were wide open, her breathing was extremely heavy, her hands hanging by her sides were clenched tightly, her teeth were clenched, and she looked uncertain.

She was so shocked that she couldn't control the expression on her face and the emotions in her heart.

Yunyan told her that she was sent away by Bei Chenhe since she was born, and that her biological mother hanged herself shortly thereafter, and her wet nurse could manipulate witchcraft. , that is the enchantress of Southern Border.

A series of coincidences came so suddenly, and the truth was revealed so quickly that Lin Aoxue was caught off guard.

Even if there is no definite evidence, she does not believe that all this is a coincidence.

If that Nanjiang bewitching girl is really Yunyan's mother, then it would be logical for Bei Chenhe to hide Yunyan.

Both Sui Liang and Bei Chenling noticed something wrong with Lin Aoxue's expression, and Bei Chenling's eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance, and asked:

"What's the matter? What do you know?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue nodded tiredly, and said helplessly:

"Yes, some things happened in the northern border a while ago. I don't know if these two things are related, but I always feel a little strange."

Hearing Lin Aoxue's words, Sui Liang's face became serious, and he frowned slightly and said:

"Tell me what's going on?"

Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, and then captured Pei Qing, Xuanhe turned the tiger away from the mountain, Yunyan saw the dead people come back to life in the courtyard, and Xue Renyi's speculation about the secret art of southern border, but she There is no mention of Yunyan's life experience, these things are not a last resort, she will not rashly disclose them to others without Yunyan's permission, even if she can trust these two people.

Even if Lin Aoxue didn't mention much about Yunyan, those strange incidents were enough to attract Sui Liang's attention and Bei Chenling's shock.

"The art of witchcraft in the southern border?"

There was a look of horror in Sui Liang's eyes. Bei Chenling didn't know much about witchcraft, but as a senior, Sui Ling had investigated many royal secrets for the unjust case of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, so he had heard a little about this kind of secret technique.

He couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and he also understood why Lin Aoxue had such an expression just now. Obviously, Lin Aoxue had already known the power of this secret technique from other places, so when he heard that the concubine's identity was actually a demon girl from Southern Border, she revealed Such a shocking look.

The art of witchcraft is undoubtedly a taboo topic for the Beichen royal family, and the emperor keeps it a secret about it. However, the sudden appearance of witchcraft in the northern border has any connection with the Nanjiang enchantress in the palace many years ago?

In particular, the dowry maid who died at the side of the Nanjiang enchantress disappeared. Although it has been many years, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed strange.

But Sui Liang always felt that some clues were missing, so he couldn't sort out the whole thing clearly.

Lin Aoxue said again at this time:

"After that incident happened, I asked Third Uncle Xue's men to investigate, and found that the mysterious man who could manipulate witchcraft returned to the capital along with the men who captured Pei Qing."

After her words fell, Sui Liang and Bei Chenling's expressions shook at the same time, and Bei Chenling said in surprise:

"So, this mysterious person who can control witchcraft is Bei Chenhe's subordinate?"

If things are really as Lin Aoxue said, then this mysterious person is probably the maid who was married as a dowry back then!Why did a dowry girl know the secrets of witchcraft, and why did the enchantress from the southern border commit suicide by hanging herself.

One mystery after another rushed towards Lin Aoxue and the others. Sui Liang's complexion was heavy, and a gloomy light flickered in his eyes. After a while, he frowned and said:

"It's not too late, we must catch this person immediately, even if it alarms Bei Chenhe."

Only by catching the mysterious person who can control the witchcraft, will it be possible to investigate the truth of all this, and whether Beichenhe really intended to use the power of witchcraft to control the court, or, Beichenhe was smart, in fact, Doing wedding dresses for others.

This possibility, just conjecture is creepy.

Bei Chenling also knew that the situation was serious, she immediately stood up and said to Sui Liang and Lin Aoxue:

"I immediately arranged for someone to start the investigation immediately."

Lin Aoxue nodded and said:

"I will secretly contact Uncle Xue's staff to provide you with convenience."

Bei Chenling glanced at Lin Aoxue unexpectedly. When she met Lin Aoxue last year, the latter was still alone. Even when she went to Mingting Mountain with the courtiers to participate in the spring hunting, she was thrown into a dungeon and tortured uncomfortably because she offended the emperor. Human ghosts are not ghosts.

It has only been a year since I saw Lin Aoxue, not only has Lin Aoxue taken the position of the general of the three armies, but behind her, there is another force from the old ministry backing her up, making her act more confidently and casually than before.

Bei Chenling felt emotional in her heart, but she was more pleased for Lin Aoxue. She nodded and replied:

"it is good."

Without further ado, Lin Aoxue gave a brief account of some of the achievements she had made in the past two years in the northern border, and bid farewell to Sui Liang with Bei Chenling. wait there.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Aoxue and the two changed their clothes, returned to the Golden Bird Tower, changed their clothes in the backyard of the Golden Bird Tower, and went upstairs again with dishes and wine.

The building has not changed much from when they left before. Lin Aoxue followed Bei Chenling to the top floor of the Golden Bird Tower with ease, but before entering the elegant room, Lin Aoxue frowned and quickly pressed Beichen. Ling's shoulders changed suddenly:

"Let's go! Something happened inside!"

As soon as Lin Aoxue finished speaking, there was only a bang, and the door of the private room burst open from the inside, and several men in black came out of the room. Lin Aoxue threw the tray in her hand at the attacker, and turned her head. He wrapped his arms around Bei Chenling's waist, led her through the hall, and jumped out of the broken window.

The men in black who chased them out of the house did not expect Lin Aoxue to react so quickly, and the top floor of the Canary Tower is several feet high from the surface of Zhanyang Lake. The lake water in this season can freeze people to death, so they did not Thinking of setting up defenses on the side of the window near the lake, Lin Aoxue jumped out of the window without blinking.

Until Lin Aoxue broke through the window and fell from the sky with Bei Chenling, Bei Chenling was still in shock and couldn't recover, but when she was still in shock and thought that she was about to fall to her death, she heard Lin Aoxue's words A voice sounded from her ear:

"Close your eyes and hold your breath."

Bei Chenling subconsciously followed suit, Lin Aoxue protected it in her arms, and broke through the ice with her back. In an instant, the bitterly cold lake water squeezed from all directions, almost causing Bei Chenling to suffocate to death.

But she was used to the freezing cold in the north, and the coldness in the lake was not enough to restrict Lin Aoxue's actions. She grabbed Bei Chenling's belt tightly, dragged Bei Chenling to turn over at a very fast speed, stepped aside and went ashore, and lay in ambush in the Golden Bird Tower. The man in black on the road had some scruples and didn't dare to chase down blatantly, so he was delayed for a while.

Lin Aoxue took this opportunity to sneak into the busy city with Bei Chenling, who was dazed by the cold, broke into a cloth shop through the window, quickly changed two sets of clothes, wiped off the water stains on her body, and went through another window run out.

When the steward of the cloth village heard the movement and rushed over, the building was already empty, not even the shadow of the two little thieves.

Lin Aoxue took Bei Chenling along all the way. Because Bei Chenling was cold, she put a thick layer of clothes on Bei Chenling to keep warm. She didn't run towards the small courtyard where she came out just now, and she didn't go back to the general's mansion immediately. Instead, after going around the market several times, sneaked into an inn.

After confirming that there was no man in black chasing after her, Lin Aoxue held Bei Chenling's belt in one hand, climbed up the window with one hand, got into a guest room, put Bei Chenling on the bed, and then quickly locked the door and window.

She spread out the quilt in the guest room to cover Bei Chenling, and quickly took out the spare quilt, and put it on together. Only at this moment, Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Bei Chenling huddled under the quilt with blue lips and shivered. She still maintained a sliver of consciousness and did not fall into a coma. After Lin Aoxue settled everything, she opened her eyes with difficulty. There was confusion in her eyes. tremblingly asked:

"Just now... what happened?"

Lin Aoxue's complexion was also very ugly, but her body was much stronger than Bei Chenling's. During the time in the northern border, Yunyan tried every means to take care of her, and her body and bones were much better than before. The coldness just now was not enough to let her Frozen.

She pulled the band on her head, flicked the water from her hair, then found a clean towel to wipe it off, and then went to the bed to re-tie her hair, moving her hands Without stopping, answer Bei Chenling's question at the same time:

"Those people are coming after you."

Lin Aoxue just came to the capital not long ago, and today's trip to the Golden Sparrow Tower was impromptu. It is unlikely that these men in black will target Lin Aoxue.But Bei Chenling was different, she was a frequent visitor of the Golden Bird Tower, if these men in black had bribed the waiter of the Golden Bird Tower in advance, it would be easy to set up an ambush upstairs.

They obviously knew that Bei Chenling would use this method to get rid of the golden cicada's shell after going to the Golden Bird Tower. Therefore, as soon as Bei Chenling and Lin Aoxue arrived at the Golden Bird Tower, the men in black immediately took action. The stand-in Xiao Er and the maid took control, and then sat on the sidelines, waiting for Bei Chenling to enter the urn.

It was originally a sure-fire plan, but because of Lin Aoxue's appearance, it was an accident. Lin Aoxue's keenness and insight were beyond the imagination of these men in black. She actually discovered the ambush before entering the elegant room, and Lin Aoxue's response speed was also very fast. Surprisingly, these men in black caught Lin Aoxue and took Bei Chenling away unexpectedly.

Bei Chenling huddled on the bed, still terrified, she trembled for a long time before gradually suppressing the involuntary shrinking of her body, gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Aoxue, who was calm on the side of the bed, who was fiddling with her hair, she was very puzzled, so she asked directly :

"How did you find out that something was wrong in the room?"

Lin Aoxue turned her head and smiled at her. After retying the hair rope, she got up and went to the window, opened the window and looked out. Once again, she made sure that there was no one outside the window, and then she walked back and said:

"There is a strange fragrance in that building. I smelled it when I was close to the elegant room. I have seen similar fragrance before, so I became vigilant in my heart and paid attention to it deliberately. When we went to the elegant room, I felt a dark smell. Murderous, but there is no real evidence, maybe it is my tired experience from the battlefield in the past few years."

She couldn't say whether something like intuition was accurate, but sometimes, she would rather trust it to avoid unexpected dangers.

Bei Chenling was extremely astonished, but at the same time she felt a little sore in her heart. It took many life and death struggles to accumulate such an intuition for predicting danger.She felt sorry for Lin Aoxue, but she couldn't give Lin Aoxue more comfort. Besides, Lin Aoxue didn't need her to comfort her anymore.

Lin Aoxue came over and rubbed Bei Chenling's hair. She fell into the lake just now, and Bei Chenling's hair was already soaked. Although her body was colder, her body was warming up now, and she didn't have time to deal with her hair. Already having some headaches.

Lin Aoxue fetched the towel, and wiped Bei Chenling's hair neatly with her hands and feet. Bei Chenling was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, giggling immediately, and she didn't have the fear of the rest of her life. Instead, she felt a little warmth in her heart:

"Oh, sister Xue, you are so kind to me, I'm almost jealous of Miss Yun!"

Caught off guard by being called Sister Xue, Lin Aoxue's face blushed completely, she rubbed Bei Chenling's hair carelessly, immediately stood up and turned her face away, and reprimanded in a low voice:

"Nonsense, if you feel better, get up, and I will send you back to the palace."

It was the first time for Bei Chenling to see Lin Aoxue like this, and while she felt novelty, knowing that Lin Aoxue was not angry at all, she laughed, as if she had found some joy in her childhood.

Bei Chenling knew that she couldn't stay here for too long. The incident that happened in the Golden Bird Tower just now had to be investigated carefully. Right now, the palace is in dire straits, and there is a dark tide surging outside the palace. She doesn't know about the men in black who are going to kill her or capture her. Which side does it come from, time is tight, and there is no delay for a moment.

She felt that she had almost recovered, so she got out of bed, Lin Aoxue opened the door, a gust of wind came in from outside the door, Bei Chenling shuddered, and couldn't help sneezing at the same time.

Lin Aoxue looked back at her, shook her head helplessly, and said:

"You've got a cold, call a doctor to show you after you go back later."

Bei Chenling nodded obediently, and obediently responded:

"it is good."

Lin Aoxue and Beichenling came out of the guest room, and went out directly among the drinkers who were coming and going in the inn. Lin Aoxue handed over some money to the waiter at the inn door, and borrowed a carriage in the inn. Lin Aoxue drove it herself, and took Beichenling Successfully rushed all the way back to the palace.

The incident on the Canary Tower quickly reached Bei Chenhe's ears. When Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling returned to the palace, Bei Chenhe rushed over immediately. He glanced at Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling who had changed their clothes. There was an unconcealable surprise in his eyes, and he said in surprise:

"what happened?"

Lin Aoxue took a deep breath and took the initiative to answer:

"Returning to the lord, the princess invited the general to go to the Golden Bird Tower for a drink, but was intercepted by a mysterious man upstairs, and the general was no match for four hands. In desperation, he took the princess and jumped into Zhanyang Lake to escape. Because of this, the Princess has caught a cold, so she must have the doctor come and take a look immediately."

Bei Chenhe's face was heavy, he turned his head and said to the guards following behind him:

"Go and invite the doctor immediately!"

The guard hurried down, Lin Aoxue said again:

"Please also ask the prince to find out who is the ambush just now!"

Beichen congratulated his face like frost, nodded in response:

"The king will send someone to investigate."

He was also very curious, who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, even his Bei Chenhe's daughter dared to ambush him, he was really emboldened.

Seeing that Bei Chenhe arranged for someone to investigate, Lin Aoxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:

"His Royal Highness needs a good rest, so I won't bother you any more. My lord, I will retire."

Bei Chenhe glanced at her, frowned and said:

"You also fell into the lake just now, do you need a doctor to take your pulse?"

How dare Lin Aoxue ask Bei Chenhe's doctor to see her, she waved her hand solemnly and said:

"My lord underestimated the last general. The sky in Xingbei Pass is much colder than the water in Zhanyang Lake. This level of cold air is inevitable. Don't worry about it, your lord."

Lin Aoxue spoke calmly, with a sense of arrogance in her brows, as if she was unwilling to let Bei Chenhe underestimate her, Bei Chenhe laughed and shook her head:

"Okay, since that's the case, you can go back on your own."

Lin Aoxue bowed and thanked Bei Chenhe, and then withdrew from the palace.
