Inside the dimly lit palace.
Jin Rui frowned and stared intently, silent for a moment, as if she was thinking and weighing the man's words.
Phantom, on the other hand, kept bowing his head and kneeling quietly on the ground, letting the invisible sense of oppression quietly flow.
Gradually, everything fell into silence. Occasionally, the sound of birds spreading their wings and flying by at night came from outside the temple, breaking the depressing atmosphere a little. Time passed by like water.
After an unknown amount of time, Jin Rui said faintly, without any emotion or anger in his tone, "You should get up first."
Phantom's heart tightened, and then he slowly stood up with his slightly sore legs. Just as he stood still, he heard Jin Rui say to himself: "I know about that matter."
Such an inexplicable sentence made Phantom slightly stunned. She raised her eyes and looked into his eyes. She saw a flash of light. She felt bright and sharp. She paused in her heart and waited for the next words.
"Everyone has heard about that girl Yan'er's thoughts about you." Jin Rui narrowed her eyes and looked at the ice blue eyes in front of her, and said unhurriedly.
Seeing the man at this moment, he gently took off the hood on his head. In an instant, a head full of silver threads was revealed. Under the light of the lights, the silver threads bloomed with a bright and splendor like snow. .
The handsome face, enchanting and cold, is comparable to the tea flower that blooms at night, exuding the soul-stirring fragrance and fatal attraction.
This moment of revealing his true face, this hair color, this stunning face, who else could it be if it wasn't Yan Qisha? !
If Ge Shu Wuluan were to know that her many guesses were not wrong, but that she was being tricked and fooled over and over again, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood!
The man watched his master's expression quietly and hurriedly explained, "Phantom to Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by Jin Rui, with a strange sparkle in his handsome eyes, "Actually, this matter is nothing. We are of the same age, and we should marry a man and a woman. It's just... I want to advise you, who do you like? You can do anything, but you can't have any undue thoughts about Yan'er! As for Yan'er, she is willing to be close to you, and I can't control it, but you must remember to keep an appropriate distance and don't let her get further into trouble. The deeper you go, and at the same time, don’t forget your own identity and become detached from yourself.”
There was no unnecessary explanation, and the words were completely abrupt. Although the tone was casual, there was a hint of stiffness, and it was obviously unreasonable.
In fact, there was no need for the Lord to remind him that he had no feelings for Princess Miao Yan at all, but after hearing this profound warning, Phantom's back still stiffened slightly.
His thoughts were drifting away quietly, as if something was flashing through his mind. After a fleeting moment, he calmed down and said, "Yes. Phantom knows."
Jin Rui looked at his lowered eyes for a moment, tugged the corners of her lips with satisfaction, and softened her tone, "Yeah. As for brother Shu Wuluan... you are right, she can still take advantage of her if she can't be at ease in the past. The value. In this way, I will give you some more time to complete this task properly. You, please don’t let me down again."
Hearing such earnest words in Phantom's ears, not only did he not calm down, but instead, there was an inexplicable chill rising in his heart, and he nodded silently without saying a word.
At this point, Jin Rui withdrew his gaze and waved his hand, indicating that he could retreat.
A gust of breeze blew by, swaying the candlelight. Under the dim shadow of the lamp, Jin Rui, who was holding the book, looked at the disappearing figure and his eyes dimmed in time.
…
Outside the hall, the moonlight in the sky was extremely quiet, spreading down like a veil of smoke, lightly covering the surrounding area, and surrounding it with a touch of hazy poetry.
The night wind suddenly rose, blowing away pieces of fallen flowers and blowing over the man's body with the delicate fragrance, instantly dyeing the ink-colored cloak with the lingering elegant fragrance.
Stepping down the mottled stone steps, his eyes swept across the dead tree in the distance, and he walked slowly towards the figure waiting under the tree.
Clinker, before he could even steady his steps, he was greeted by a scolding voice, "You clearly know that the Lord's body is already showing signs of weakness, and you must not be worried and weak, yet you still make him angry at this time. Could it be that in your heart, that Are women more important than the Lord who treats you so kindly and deeply?"
It was still the same old voice, dry and harsh, but at this time, it became the voice of an old woman.
The man looked quietly at the wrinkled cheeks with a reproachful and angry expression in front of him, and said in a low voice: "My mother-in-law is right to blame me, the Phantom knows he is making a big mistake."
The moonlight passed by, and I saw Granny Pi, who was dressed as a royal doctor. She raised her hand to gently touch the Fengchi point on the back of her head. Then she looked at the male face without a beard tonight, and it gradually transformed into an unattractive old woman. human face.
This kind of disguise that instantly changes one's appearance is called illusion. Compared with using a mask to disguise one's appearance, it is more time-saving and simple, and is difficult to expose.
Therefore, in order to make it easier for Phantom to secretly serve her Lord, she passed on all the magic of phantom appearance and ventriloquism to him.
In other words, a man's ability to successfully avoid suspicion in Ge Shu Wu Luan's place all depends on these two key points.
After listening to Phantom Maungruo's self-reproaching words, Grandma Pi's frown gradually deepened, obviously revealing that he didn't mean what he said and was unrepentant, and she couldn't help but worry.
How much influence did that woman have on him to make him disobey the Lord like this? !
She stared at the man and frowned for a long time, then suddenly her expression paused, her face instantly turned solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "The inexplicable fever you had some time ago indicates that the ice silkworm poison in your body has invaded your heart. If it is not released in time, The antidote, I'm afraid, within a year, your life will be..."
At this point, her voice began to tremble, and she involuntarily stopped the next words, and a trace of pain appeared in her cloudy eyes.
The unspoken consequences made Phantom understand in his heart. He had already understood this level without his mother-in-law’s explicit instructions. Not only did the Demon Refining and Poison King once say this to him, he was about to die soon, but also He himself also noticed changes in his body.
Before the fever, the reason why he dared to show his face in front of Aluan that night was because his eyes and hair changed color and returned to their true colors.
Originally, his eyes and hair were originally black, but it was just because the ice silkworm cold poison had been left in his body. As the cold poison spread over the years and the cold air gathered around him, his eyes gradually turned ice blue. His eyebrows and hair turned silvery white, and even his skin color was different from ordinary people, looking sickly and pale.
It wasn't until the moment the poison invaded the heart that the energy and blood suddenly reversed, and then a flash of light occurred...
The Phantom hurriedly put away his thoughts, looked back at the palace far away behind him, slowly returned his gaze, and smiled faintly, "I understand my situation very well. But please, mother-in-law, don't let the Lord know about it for the time being. For the sake of the Lord, For the sake of your health, keep this matter a secret for as long as you can."
Seeing his calm look, Grandma Pi knew that he was deliberately comforting her, and her heart ached, but her words were cold and mean, "You still know how to care about the Lord's body, which proves that you haven't forgotten your roots! Okay, old lady, I know the pros and cons of this matter better than you. Otherwise, why would the Lord not mention the cold poison in your body despite summoning you many times?"
Oh, he should know better. His mother-in-law has always been thoughtful, so how could she reveal this matter to the Lord and make him worry? It turned out that he was doing something unnecessary.
However, this mother-in-law's talkative attitude has not changed at all. She is obviously worried about him, but she is unforgiving.
While the man was laughing secretly, Grandma Pi's face changed in vain, as if she had remembered something. Then, a little excitement appeared in her eyes, and then she slapped her thigh and said hastily: "Ouch, I almost forgot, I'm such an old fool. Already…”
Phantom was confused for a moment, blinked his ice eyes, and joked: "My mother-in-law is old, and her memory is inevitably poor. Tell me, what events have been reversed this time? Could it be... There are admirers waiting for my mother-in-law in the Royal Medicine Hall , did your mother-in-law miss her appointment?"
Granny Pi immediately blushed, as if she was told something important. The color looked like an old woman applying rouge, which was really naive.
He glared at the man with shame and annoyance, his face tightened, and he said in a serious voice: "Be more serious and listen to my mother-in-law. Speaking of your cold poison, in fact, I have never prepared an antidote for ice silkworm poison in so many years. It's hard to find a medicinal herb. This herb can only be found in the Demon Refining Poison King who poisoned you. Unfortunately, he is dead. However, fortunately, my mother-in-law and I suddenly discovered that there is such a medicinal herb in the world just a few days ago. The existence of Yin, with it, the antidote is prepared, and your ice silkworm cold poison will be completely driven away!"
These words made Phantom startled slightly, and a fire of hope was ignited in his chest bit by bit. Gradually, the fire became stronger and stronger, boiling the blood in his body.
Faced with the hope of survival, everyone would be filled with excitement, even him at this moment was no exception.
Originally, he was not afraid of death, but since the appearance of someone, he has brought a ray of bright sunshine to his cold world, and also turned his dark world into colorful ones.
She illuminated his heart that had been sealed by ice and snow for a long time, and the heart warmed up and started beating. At that moment, he understood the beauty of love. At that moment, he actually had the desire for life. …
He deliberately suppressed his turbulent mood and asked: "What is the medicine guide and where is it?"
Faced with the man's sudden change of mood, Grandma Pi's face became complicated. There were entanglements, hesitations, and struggles. In the end, she seemed to make up her mind, calm down, and answered simply, "Blood in the heart! In a woman's heart, On the body."
Before Phantom could digest these words, she suddenly missed his sight and stared at the waning moon in the sky that was gradually covered by clouds. Facing the gloom, she said in a deep voice, "This woman is the first female official of Dashang, Jin Yi. Hou Geshu Wuluan! Her blood is extremely pure, rare in the world, and is the only key to cracking the cold poison of ice silkworms... "
This name, like the sound of thunder, suddenly dispersed the waves in the man's heart, so that he could no longer listen to what his mother-in-law said, and then interrupted with a painful voice, "No!"
