I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

After the conversation with Bai Yiling was over, Lu Qi walked slowly back to Sang Hongrui's mansion. He used the time of walking to think briefly and consider what attitude he should use to treat this powerful and admiring family. A woman with a violent personality.

At this point in time, no matter whether it is the setting of the original book or the current reality, Lu Qi has never been sincere towards Sang Hongrui, especially since the two have released the bond between the hero and heroine. This natural attraction also disappears.

But it had to be said that Lu Qi needed the other party's family power very much - the 20 troops in the hands of King Youzhou was not a small number, it was very important to him.

Today's prince seems to have little interest in women, and he doesn't have many heirs. Since the accident of the fourth prince Lu Xie, only the second prince Lu Cheng, the fifth prince Lu Yu, and the seventh prince are the only ones who can succeed him. Pei Wang Lu Hui, since the Seventh Prince, there has been no new addition to the palace for 20 years, not even a pregnant concubine.

Among them, Concubine Yin Shu, the biological mother of the King of England, has the highest status in the harem at present. The Yin family is an old family. Now Yin Zuoxiang is getting older, but he has been in the court for many years and his reputation is still there.However, the emperor's favorite is always Prince Huai, and King Ying is not valued by him.

As for Lu Hui, aside from just turning 20 years old this year, his biological mother was just an unnamed court lady who died of dystocia when she gave birth to him.The Seventh Prince was usually unknown, so when Lu Qi thought about his competitors, he didn't take him into consideration.

When Lu Qi entered the door, he found that the ground was in a mess. Sang Hongrui was sitting there sulking, surrounded by maids and servants kneeling on the ground, all of them looked ashen - although the lady often lost her temper, it was the first time she had seen such a violent situation .

She was teased and intimidated by Bai Yiling for no reason, but she couldn't even fight back. She was almost mad with anger. After finally waiting for the outsiders to leave, Sang Hongrui closed the door and smashed it indiscriminately.

It happened that Lu Qi came back at this time, and saw the scene seriously, he didn't say anything else, and said to the servants: "You all go out."

When the King of Linzhang spoke, they couldn't wish more, and immediately bowed their waists and retreated, leaving only Lu Qi and Sang Hongrui in the room.

No matter how cruel Sang Hongrui was, she was still a young girl after all. She didn't want to show weakness in front of Bai Yiling just now, but she was already full of grievances. When she saw that only Lu Qi was left in front of her, she burst into tears Come, sobbing and said: "Look at my face, Bai Yiling must have done it! It's so deceiving, no one has dared to humiliate me like this before! If I, if I don't take revenge, I won't be called Sang Hongrui!"

Lu Qi glanced at her, and saw that in just a short moment, a small red rash appeared on Sang Hongrui's face, which was not only ugly, but also very itchy. Hongrui's changed. ,

Lu Qi was full of upset and didn't feel like comforting Sang Hongrui, so he asked, "Is this something you added to someone else's teacup?"

Sang Hongrui stopped crying, choked for a while, and still couldn't stop, but he didn't hide it from Lu Qi, and said in a low voice: "Yes, he is too rude, I just want to punish him a little bit."

Lu Qi suddenly patted the table beside him, and shouted sternly: "It's just nonsense!"

He reprimanded mercilessly: "Do you know who he is? If something goes wrong, don't say it's hard to explain to the Holy Majesty, even the Duke of Zhen will not let you go, maybe even me Get into trouble! This is Kyoto, not Youzhou, if you continue to act recklessly like this, I will find a way to make you go back immediately!"

After being bullied, instead of being comforted by her sweetheart, she was severely reprimanded. This is hard for anyone to accept, and Sang Hongrui's tears that had just stopped burst out again.

She rushed forward, beat Lu Qi indiscriminately, and cried: "Why do you even say that! I am obviously angry with him, but you want to talk to him? If you are capable, drive me back, I will You will be happy when you leave, and finally no one will block your eyes!"

Lu Qi didn't move at first, but was pushed back a few steps by her, grabbed Sang Hongrui's hand suddenly, and warned in a cold voice: "You better not act wild in front of me! I don't have time to cry with you !"

As usual, he might be willing to coax the other party a little bit, but ever since Bai Yiling and Lu Yu confirmed their relationship last night, Lu Qi felt that there was a flame of anger burning in his heart, which made him extremely irritable. Rui made such a fuss, so naturally he was not very angry.

Sang Hongrui's wrist was painfully pinched by Lu Qi, she struggled subconsciously, but when she raised her head, she met the cold eyes of the other party, she didn't know why, but suddenly felt a burst of fear.

She had never seen Lu Qi like this before, and instinctively felt scared, and flinched back: "You, you..."

"Listen to me." Lu Qi closed his eyes and calmed down, and said in a calm voice, "Before you came to the capital, what did your father tell you?"

Sang Hongrui said: "He, he originally intended to send me into the palace directly, but the emperor seemed to have no intention of choosing a concubine at all, and then my father wanted to marry me to Duke Huai..."

She actually wanted to say later that she didn't like Duke Huai, and the only person she wanted to marry was Lu Qi, but thinking of Lu Qi's expression and tone just now, Sang Hongrui felt suffocated, and she didn't say those words for a while.

Lu Qi seemed to see what she was thinking, raised his hand to stroke Sang Hongrui's hair, and said slowly: "But you don't want to, because you are afraid that His Majesty will give you a marriage at will, you have only been in the capital for a few days, and you deliberately made trouble Everyone here knows that you are irritable and capricious, so keep them at a respectful distance, so that no one will manipulate your marriage at will."

Sang Hongrui nodded quickly, but Lu Qi said: "But don't forget, if Your Majesty doesn't grant a marriage, it is impossible for me to take the initiative to ask to marry you."

Sang Hongrui was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Lu Qi meant. She could turn herself into a hot potato, so that no one dared to marry her, but Lu Qi's princess position was still vacant.As the daughter of the king of Youzhou, she has a delicate status. It is impossible for the current emperor to let his younger brother, whom he has always been afraid of, have such power.

Sang Hongrui forgot the fear just now, and suddenly became anxious: "Then what should I do?"

She didn't realize that she was completely led by Lu Qi's thoughts, Lu Qi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, you just need to be safe, and everything will follow my arrangement—"

Early the next morning, as soon as Bai Yiling arrived at the North Inspection Department, someone hurried over and told him that the condition of those people who had been affected by the mind-bending technique yesterday was not very good.

Bai Yiling went over to have a look in person, and it wasn't really a big problem, but everyone had more or less bruised veins, their arms were trembling and weak, and they couldn't hold the knife. They stretch their muscles.

Bai Yiling said: "Bring Ah Nuan here."

After being punished by Sang Hongrui yesterday, Ah Nuan was taken away by the North Inspection Department, and she went to prison immediately. At this time, the people below heard Bai Yiling's order and immediately brought her here. Time for Ah Nuan to freshen up.

After being locked up for less than twelve hours, the girl who was arrogant and domineering the day before became sluggish, her body was filthy, and she lay on the ground trembling slightly.

Bai Yiling glanced at her and said, "How does it feel to be in prison?"

Ah Nuan shook her head in fright. In the prison of the Northern Inspection Department, all vicious people are locked up. She usually relies on the prestige of her master and thinks that no one dares to provoke her. After entering, she realizes that there is really a so-called hell on earth in the world. People don't want to stay for a moment, and my little tricks are not enough to watch.

Ah Nuan was crying and trembling, couldn't help rushing over and grabbing the corner of Bai Yiling's robe, and said sobbingly: "Master Bai, I was wrong, please let me go! I will never dare again!"

Bai Yiling ignored her, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then asked directly: "The veins on the person who is affected by your insanity have bulging veins and weakness in hands and feet. Is this a normal aftereffect? ​​Can it be cured?"

When he asked this, Ah Nuan immediately realized that Bai Yiling had hired her for the sake of the guards who were hurt yesterday, and now, for her, this might be the only remaining value.Not knowing where the courage came from, Ah Nuan bit her lip and said, "If you promise to let me go, I promise to cure them."

After Bai Yiling finished drinking the water, he put the lid on the cup and put the teacup on the table beside him, without even lifting his head, he still said in a flat tone, "Drag on."

But this sentence was not directed at Ah Nuan. Ah Nuan was taken aback for a moment, but before she realized what was going on, the two grabbed her arms from behind, one left and one right, and dragged her out forcefully.

Only then did Ah Nuan see, and she didn't know where it was, there was a big pit on one side of the yard. It was obviously in summer, but there was a raging flame burning in the pit.

——What was even more frightening was that the two people who were dragging her behind did not say a word, but directly pressed Ah Nuan's head into the fire pit, without even the slightest intention of sympathizing with her.

Seeing her face getting closer and closer to the blazing flames, Ah Nuan was horrified, she held the ground with her hands, struggled and writhed, and shouted desperately: "Don't do this, I was wrong! I Wrong, I will never dare again! Please let me go, I was wrong—"

She choked her head tightly, almost feeling that her neck was about to be broken, but she didn't dare to relax at all. She burst into tears and was extremely horrified, and the scream almost toppled the roof.If someone who didn't know came to the Northern Inspection Department at this time, they would probably turn their heads and run away in fright.

Finally, just when she was about to faint, Bai Yiling's calm voice came from the room: "Bring it in."

Ah Nuan was almost paralyzed, and was dragged back to Bai Yiling like a dead dog.

Bai Yiling didn't even have a single extra word to say, and repeated it: "The person who has been hit by your soul-stirring technique is currently having bruised veins and weakness in limbs, can it be cured?"

Ah Nuan was drenched all over, she fell on the ground and shivered, before Bai Yiling finished speaking, she nodded quickly and said: "Yes, these are normal reactions, even if they die, they will recover in a few days .If you want to recover as soon as possible, the servant has a way!"

Bai Yiling asked again: "Why did this happen? Is there anyone in the capital other than you who can use this mind-boosting technique?"

Ah Nuan had never been so obedient since she was born. The beautiful face opposite her made her have nightmares even if she looked at her again. Whatever Bai Yiling asked, she answered without delay. The interrogation ended smoothly very quickly. Bai Yiling asked Lu Hong to press Ah Nuan to look at the guards, and he also stood up.

Yan Yang said: "Sixth brother, where are you going?"

Bai Yiling smiled at him, his brows and eyes stretched, and the icy sternness just now melted away, and he said, "I want to go and see Liu Bo's corpse again."

Among all the people, Yan Yang is the most transparent and careful. Hearing what Bai Yiling said, he immediately thought of what Ah Nuan said just now: "Yesterday I heard that this girl named Sang Hongrui can use spells to control other people's will. , Liu Bo will automatically run into the fire, is it because of her bewitchment? But just now Ah Nuan explained that this kind of magic is inherited from her family blood, and it is impossible for ordinary people to practice it. In other words, Liu If Bo was really killed by her, there should be traces of spells on his body."

Bai Yiling smiled and said, "Smart."

Yan Yang also laughed, and bumped his shoulder: "Is this a compliment to yourself? Let's go, I will accompany you."

The two walked through the courtyard side by side, and came to another remote house in the shade. Yan Yang suddenly paused, and asked someone to bring a piece of clothing for Bai Yiling to wear outside, and then opened the door of the house. Door.

A chilly air rushed over, and there was nothing else inside, only one level of stairs leading to the bottom. After walking down, there was the ice room specially used by the Northern Inspection Department to store corpses.

The ground is pitch-black, with candles around, and the flames are constantly jumping, which adds a little bit of gloom for no reason.

Liu Bo's body was lying on a bed, his face was covered with a thin layer of frost, his face was pale, and his whole body was stripped naked, but it was still well preserved.

Bai Yiling couldn't help thinking of the way he talked to him arrogantly, it was really shameful to die like this.

Seeing him sizing up Liu Bo's body, Yan Yang said, "Do you want me to call Wu Zuo over?"

Bai Yiling waved his hand: "Look, he doesn't have any bulging veins."

He said that he did it himself, and turned Liu Bo over. Although some of the flesh was burnt, at least there were no such marks on the almost intact arms and thighs.

Yan Yang nodded, took out a small silver knife, and cut a deep gash on the corpse's arm. He opened the wound to check the cut surface, and Liu Bo's body did not seem to be in a state of muscle relaxation.

Yan Yang put him down and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Bai Yiling say, "Wait a minute."

He stopped, looked back, and saw that Bai Yiling had already taken the knife from Yan Yang's hand, opened the wound on the corpse, and said in a deep voice, "No, Liu Bo was poisoned before he was burned!"

The words he said are likely to be the key to overturning the whole case. Yan Yang was startled. Following his words, he saw that the wound he cut just now was deep enough to see the bone, but the color of the bone exposed underneath was black!
