Chapter 1646 True Identity
Chapter 1646 True Identity
Yan Ruyu walked into the courtyard.
Taoist Xuanqing came forward immediately, unable to hide the joy on his face.
"princess."
Yan Ruyu looked at him, her eyes calm and without any ripples.
The smile on Xuanqing's face gradually faded. For some reason, he always felt that there was a hidden turmoil under Yan Ruyu's calm eyes.
It made him a little uneasy.
"Are you sure you want to enter the palace?" Yan Ruyu asked.
Xuan Qing smiled and bowed, saying, "It is my honor to serve the prince and princess."
Yan Ruyu chuckled and said, "In that case, I have to be frank. If you want to enter the palace, you can, but you have to explain everything that happened before. What did you do? Did you kill anyone, set a fire, have any grudges with anyone, and did you do anything immoral?"
"The palace is not a place where filth and dirt are hidden. We cannot tolerate such scum."
Xuan Qing's smile froze slightly, and a bit of unnaturalness flashed across his face: "Of course not, I am a monk, and although I don't have any achievements, I definitely don't kill or burn anything."
"There's none?"
"Absolutely not."
"Then why did this princess see that there were at least three ghosts who wanted to avenge your life?"
It was already dark and there were no lights on in the yard. Yan Ruyu stood in the cold moonlight, with a breeze blowing around her.
I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing her say that, Xuanqing suddenly felt a little creepy.
"What...what the hell? Princess, please don't scare me."
"Why would this princess scare you? If you haven't done anything, why should you be afraid?"
Yan Ruyu took a step forward as she spoke, her tone becoming a little colder: "Where you live, in the tree hole, under the earth pit, what is that?"
"They said they were not able to rest in peace, but were placed there by you."
Xuan Qing seemed to have thought of something, his face turned pale with fright, and he took a step back.
"No, no."
"No, then look, what's behind you?"
Xuan Qing turned around subconsciously and saw three corpses that appeared on the ground at some point.
They are so small, lined up neatly, and silent, yet seem to be accusing loudly.
Xuan Qing's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately stepped back: "Go, go away! Why are they here? I clearly buried them..."
"Where is it buried?" Yan Ruyu asked.
The blood drained out of Xuanqing's face, leaving it as pale as paper, his eyes filled with fear.
Yan Ruyu clapped her hands, and Huo Changhe brought people in. Torches illuminated the yard and dispelled the darkness.
Xuanqing's complexion improved a little. He glanced at the corpse on the ground and found it was still there.
Not a dream, not a hallucination.
Huo Changhe stepped forward and kicked him. He lost his balance and fell to his knees, just inches away from the three corpses.
"Tell me, what happened? What did you do?"
Xuan Qing wanted to argue, but Yan Ruyu said, "If you don't tell me, I will tie you up tonight and seal you up in the pit."
Xuan Qing shuddered with fear: "No, don't, Princess, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Xuan Qing whispered, "They...are...the bones of the babies I bought, because I heard that if I use their Yin spirits and seal them under the tree, with the power of wood and earth, I can continue my rebirth and change my fate."
Yan Ruyu sneered: "A purchased baby? Where did you buy it from? Who did you trade it with? How much did you pay?"
"This...it's been too long, I really can't remember it clearly."
Yan Ruyu tilted her head and looked at the secret guard beside her. The corpse was brought back by this secret guard himself.
I can't hold it back any longer.
Seeing Yan Ruyu's signal, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed Xuan Qing by the collar, and slapped him several times.
Xuanqing cried out in pain. He never expected that he would be beaten after all, even though he thought he was enjoying himself in the palace.
Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes and looked at him, her eyes full of anger and disgust: "To be honest, this is your last chance."
"Whose child is this? What have you done to the girl with the Sky Eye?"
Xuanqing couldn't bear it. Hearing these words was like hearing thunder, and the little bit of luck in his heart was gone.
He knew that Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe probably knew everything.
"I... indeed, I had thoughts about the girl with the Heavenly Eyes that I shouldn't have. She was young and innocent, and I was just being sincere."
Huo Changhe shouted: "Slap him!"
A few more slaps in the face.
Xuan Qing's mouth was bleeding, and he was forced to continue speaking in pain: "I had evil intentions and deceived her to make her pregnant. I didn't let the three children be buried, and it was indeed for the purpose of setting up the formation."
"Who taught you this formation?" Huo Changhe asked angrily, "Aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"
"No one taught me. I learned it by myself by reading books..." Xuanqing said in a low voice.
Yan Ruyu signaled to the secret guard, pinched Xuanqing's jaw, and forced him to raise his head.
The firelight reflected on his face, which was blue and purple, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and his eyes were vague.
"Master Xuanqing was famous throughout his life. He died in battle to protect the people."
"Who would have thought that a treacherous villain like you would take advantage of me?" Yan Ruyu said with anger rising in her eyes. "Tell me, who are you?"
Xuan Qing's biggest hidden worry exploded, and his face was filled with fear: "I... I am..."
"Master Xuanqing never likes to drink black tea, and the characters in the calligraphy are completely different from what you write. You can't understand those books at all, you can only see the superficial."
"I believe in things like rebirth. Even if it's a little more outrageous, I can accept it."
Yan Ruyu leaned close to him and whispered, "I heard that after Taoist Xuanqing died in a battle, a nearby village was also implicated and caught fire. A private school teacher who lived alone also died as a result."
"He has average education, but he has good handwriting. He is greedy and lustful. He used to write letters for some women who lived alone and sent them to their husbands. But because he had touched the women, he was beaten up. He could no longer stay in the village, so he moved out of the village to live alone."
"This person is you, right?"
Taoist Xuanqing was trembling as if he were sieved, unable to speak, and did not dare to look up at Yan Ruyu.
"You died, and then inexplicably came back to life, and became Taoist Priest Xuanqing, which made you overjoyed."
"You accidentally saw the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes, and you took her in with pretentious intentions, but in fact you did dirty things to her. Because she was different from ordinary people, you frightened her, controlled her, beat her, and even... Do you know your crime?"
Yan Ruyu couldn't continue speaking, so Huo Changhe kicked Xuan Qing over.
"My Lord, Princess, please spare my life. I know I am wrong. I am guilty. I am guilty."
"I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse, and serve you and your wife in the future..."
"The palace has no shortage of cattle and horses. The cattle and horses in our palace are not as dirty and filthy as yours!"
Yan Ruyu sneered: "Master Xuanqing is a man of courage and fearlessness. Why should he let a villain like you use his body to take advantage of him?"
"You deserve to die."
“No, no,” he knelt and crawled a few steps, “Prince, Princess, I don’t ask for anything else, just spare my life. I will leave now and never appear in front of you again.”
"And these three bodies must be properly buried!"
"You do not deserve."
