The fire at Yanxiang Temple lit up half of the sky in the capital and alarmed most of the people in the city.
The fire was too fierce, and it was on the mountain, so it was difficult to divert water to put out the fire. Billowing black smoke shrouded the night sky all night.
Strangely, when the government was going to put out the fire at dawn, the fire disappeared with the dawn, leaving only a pile of burnt wreckage, and all the monks in Yanxiang Temple disappeared strangely.
The huge yew tree in the temple was burnt to the point that not even its roots remained.
Strange incidents spread in the capital, and rumors swirled for a while.
Situ Zhoulan stood by the East Lake Bridge, listening to the discussions about Yanxiang Temple all around, and knew that Zhong Guoyi's matter had failed.
When Zhong Guoyi came to invite her to act together, she refused.
In order to kill Wen Chan, Zhong Guoyi voluntarily dedicated himself to the Rotten Bone Demon. In her opinion, it was a very stupid act, because she knew that Zhong Guoyi would not succeed. It is too difficult, and the most fundamental thing is to start with Liang Yanbei.
She returned to the place where she lived, and took out a wooden box carved with hollow patterns from under the bed. After opening, there was a small box with an oval lid inside. Situ Zhoulan carefully took out the box.
After the lid was opened, there was silvery thin water inside, and there were two almost invisible meat worms swimming slowly in the water. Situ Zhoulan took a look, smiled strangely, closed the small box again, and put it on her body .
After hiding her things, she got up and stepped out of the room, but was stopped by Shan Ke outside the door.
"Alan, what are you going to do?" Shan Ke's voice was a little cold.
"Second brother Shan, this has nothing to do with you, don't get involved." Situ Zhoulan also responded indifferently.
"Where did you get the Gu on Zhong Wenjin's body?" Shan Ke stepped forward and asked pressingly, his brows were tightly frowned, "Are you really raising Gu?"
Situ Zhoulan was afraid that the things on her body would be discovered, so she hurriedly took a step back and said, "I bought it elsewhere, it's just a common Gu, I brought one because I saw it as fun."
"Harmless to the human body?" In fact, he had already asked her before, and confirmed it again this time.
Situ Zhoulan was a little impatient, but she didn't dare to show it, she just said, "Don't worry, it's harmless, if there is any problem, I will pull out the Gu for him with my own hands."
Shan Ke said, "Alan, we grew up together, I know you are not a person with a bad heart, I hope you don't be stubborn."
Shan Ke said a lot about persuasion. He said he came to the capital all the way from Jinling, and now he also felt tired, so he finally reminded him, and he turned his head and left without saying more.
Situ Zhoulan looked at his back and thought, "It's a little bit, just a little bit."
Holding the small wooden box in her arms tightly, Situ Zhoulan hurried out of the Yamen and headed for Liang's Mansion. On the way, she tried her best to avoid the crowded streets, but when she walked to Liang's house, her mouth and nose were suddenly covered from behind.
Situ Zhoulan didn't know martial arts, so she didn't even notice that someone was approaching, let alone break free. Before she could struggle, she was blindfolded, and immediately felt a pain in the back of her neck, and passed out.
After regaining consciousness, the back of her neck was still sore, her eyes were still covered with something, her hands and feet were bound, and she sat on a hard chair. She raised her head and let out a whimper.
"It seems to be awake." Someone beside him said.
"Remove the blindfold." Another person said.
Situ Zhoulan immediately recognized that the second person was the voice of His Highness Ninth Prince Wen Chan, and the next moment her eyes were stung by the bright light, she frowned and blinked, after adjusting to the light, she raised her eyes and saw Wen Chan.
He was sitting on a soft chair covered with snow-white fox fur. He was dressed in an apricot-yellow brocade suit, and on his head was a straight jade crown as white as suet jade. With a warm light and an indifferent smile on his handsome face, he leisurely picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips.
"Your Highness Ninth Prince, what do you mean?" Situ Zhoulan asked with a cold expression. Although she was angry, she did not yell at the Sapo girl.
"Situ Zhoulan, you should know why I invited you here, right?" Wen Chan asked back.
"Please?" She sneered, "Your Highness's etiquette is really special."
"Bold!" Ah Fu said aside, "What are you? How dare you talk to our Highness like that?!"
Wen Chan raised his hand to stop, "You step back first, I'll have a chat with her alone."
Ah Fu saluted in response, exited the hall respectfully, and gently closed the door, leaving only two people in the hall.
"Forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand what Your Highness means." Situ Zhoulan had a cold and hard style, as if she was sure that Wen Chan would not dare to do anything to her.
Thinking that his surname is Situ after all, he is quite important in Jinling, and he is the younger sister who grew up with Liang Yanbei, even if Liang Yanbei is in the way, Wen Chan will not take action against her.
Wen Chan put down the teacup, raised his eyebrows lightly, "Are you dull?"
He took out a small box from behind the teapot and placed it lightly under Situ Zhoulan's eyes, "What is this thing?"
After seeing the small box, her expression changed dramatically, "You actually searched me?"
"I invite you to Xiyang Palace. Naturally, I have to confirm whether there are any dangerous objects on your body." Wen Chan chuckled, then took out a large handful of paper-wrapped medicines, and several small porcelain bottles, and dropped them clangingly on the On the table, "Look, there are a lot of things hidden on your body, who knows which one of them is deadly?"
Situ Zhoulan's anger rushed to the top of her head, but she couldn't maintain her indifferent appearance, and said bitterly, "Give me back the things!"
Wen Chan looked at her coldly, and asked, "What do you want to take these two bugs to the Liang Mansion?"
"You spy on me?" Situ Zhoulan stared at Wen Chan in disbelief.
He raised a sneering look, "So what about spying on you?"
As he spoke, he opened the lid of the small box, and glanced at the two worms inside, "These two worms are swimming happily. What kind of precious things are you holding in your arms?"
"No, no!" Situ Zhoulan hurriedly denied, "It's just two ordinary bugs, I keep them for fun."
"Keep it up for fun..." Wen Chan was thoughtful, tapping his fingers on the table, "Are you telling the truth?"
Situ Zhoulan said, "Your Highness, you sent someone to knock me out and bring me here, have you thought about the consequences? Anyway, the Situ family is well-known and promising in the Jianghu. Single family…”
"I don't want to hear that." Wen Chan interrupted her and said, "These two worms are Gu, right?"
Her expression froze, and her originally threatening expression suddenly turned, a little hatred surfaced, she smiled and said, "Yes, it's Gu."
Wen Chan remained calm and let her continue talking.
"Now that you know, let me tell you clearly that I specially prepared this kind of Gu for Brother Yanbei. It's called male and female Gu. Have you never heard of it, Your Highness?" Situ Zhoulan laughed at Wen Chan, "They were entrusted to me by me. The demon Gu bought by people in the demon market, the female enters the male body, and the male enters the female body, after maturity, the man and woman can love each other, the longer the time, the deeper the love."
When Wen Chan heard this, Yabang was so angry that his bite hurt, but he didn't show it on his face, "You want to feed this to Liang Yanbei?"
"Your Highness, you should be reasonable. I have been with Brother Yanbei for more than ten years. We have engaged in-laws since we were young. He had an accident a few years ago. I patiently stayed by his side for six or seven years just to wait for him. Come back to normal and marry me, why do you want to interfere?" Situ Zhoulan seemed to be falling into a state of madness.
"It's only natural for a man to marry a woman. I can have children for Brother Yanbei, what about you? What can you do?" She said, "Situ and the Liang family are in Jinling, and they have long been praised by everyone. As long as Brother Yanbei eats the female bug, everything will return to normal, isn't that good?"
"Why do you make decisions for Liang Yanbei?!" Wen Chan's eyes were full of coldness, "He has someone he loves, so what are you?"
"If you don't get in the way, the person Yanbei loves is me, and it can only be me!" she shouted.
Wen Chan smiled, with strong sarcasm, "With a monster, even if you can fool everyone in the world, can you fool yourself?"
"It's not important to me." Situ Zhoulan said, "I just want his love."
"It's a pity that your trick was discovered." Wen Chan sneered, "You should give up your heart."
"Your Highness, male and female Gu is not the only pair in the world. If you take this pair, I can still go to the demon market to buy it. As long as I stay by Brother Yanbei's side, I will always have a chance." Situ Zhoulan Confidence, "You can't stop it, the Liang family and I have long been like family members, and we can strike at any time."
Wen Chan closed his eyes, seemed to be calming down, clenched his fists tightly, on the verge of collapsing, he said, "Don't even think about it!"
Seeing that Wen Chan was tortured, she was happy for no reason, and was about to laugh when she was interrupted by a voice from outside.
"Your Highness, Mr. Liang is here."
As soon as Situ Zhoulan's eyes lit up, she opened her mouth to shout, but Wen Chan pinched her dumb acupoint very quickly, and then covered her mouth with the cloth that had previously blindfolded her eyes.
She struggled crazily, trying to make some noise, but the ropes on her body were tied too tightly, and she couldn't even move.
Wen Chan opened the two screens and hid Situ Zhoulan's chair behind. Because of the haste, there was a gap in the screen. Situ Zhoulan's eyes happened to be facing there, and she saw Wen Chan He tidied up everything on the table, rubbed his face, and said, "Let him in."
Then there was the sound of the door knocking, and Liang Yanbei shouted when he entered the door, "Your Highness, it's so cold outside, you still let me stand for so long..."
As he spoke, he took off his cloak casually, put it on a chair beside him, and saw that there was still half a cup of hot tea on the table, so he picked it up and drank it.
Wen Chan asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Come and see you." He replied.
When she walked past the screen, Situ Zhoulan struggled fiercely again, trying to make some noise, Wen Chan noticed her intention, and hurriedly suppressed the small voice with a burst of laughter.
Liang Yanbei was very surprised, and asked with a smile, "What happened to Your Highness? So happy?"
"I'm happy if you come to see me." Wen Chan said, and then pulled Liang Yanbei away from the screen, saying, "I just made a flute these two days, and I'll play it for you."
He took out a box from the desk, took out the oiled piccolo inside, and before Liang Yanbei could take a closer look, he put it to his mouth and played it.
Speaking of which, Wen Chan still knows how to play a little bit. After all, he is also an experienced flute maker. After finishing the flute, he can't help but want to play it, but he never learned it because of it. He just explored it by himself.
It can make a sound, but it doesn't sound good, but in order to suppress those small movements made by Situ Zhoulan, Wen Chan still blew it cheekily, and his whole face turned red after a while.
Liang Yanbei was very surprised by the sound of the flute, and after listening to it for a while, he wanted to persuade him to forget it, but seeing Wen Chan playing hard, he didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
"Your Highness..." He tried to shout.
Wen Chan turned a deaf ear, turned sideways to take a breath and continued blowing.
On the other hand, Situ Zhoulan was vomiting blood in a hurry. While listening to the piercing sound of the flute, she also tried her best to get Liang Yanbei to notice her, and her hands and feet ached.
Just when Wen Chan was about to take a third breath, Liang Yanbei suddenly pulled his wrist, took away his piccolo, and pushed him lightly against the wall.
Then he put his whole body on it, and without giving Wen Chan a chance to react, he lowered his head and kissed his lips.
After seeing this scene, Situ Zhoulan froze all her movements and widened her eyes as if struck by lightning.
She watched Liang Yanbei cover Wen Chan's figure, put his hands on the back of his head, and there was a hint of tenderness in the kiss, which sealed all Wen Chan's voice.
what is this? ! what is this? !
She never thought that she would see such a scene with her own eyes. Through this gap, her eyes hurt. She wished she could break free immediately and rush out to punch and kick the two people in front of her.
Liang Yanbei quickly let go of Wen Chan's lips, followed the corners of his mouth, leaving light kisses one after another, and finally bit the root of his ear.
Wen Chan's face was still red, and when he thought that Situ Zhoulan was still in the room, he felt even more ashamed, coughed uncomfortably, and complained in a low voice, "Can you stop making such a sudden mess?"
Liang Yanbei rubbed the tip of his nose, "Your Highness looks so cute, I can't help it." After speaking, he put the piccolo to his lips, and blew lightly, the quiet flute sound slipped out, only One sound becomes a rhyme.
"Next time I will teach His Highness how to play," he said.
Wen Chan nodded, "I've made a note, I can't break my promise."
"When did I ever break my promise to Your Highness?" Liang Yanbei put the flute into his sleeve, nodded his lips again and said, "I still have to go to face the saint, and I'll see you later."
Wen Chan really wanted him to leave at this moment, and immediately said, "The snow is thick and the road is slippery, be careful on the road."
Liang Yanbei responded, and walked around the table and chairs towards the screen. Seeing this, Situ Zhoulan struggled again, hoping he could hear.
However, when Liang Yanbei walked past the screen, he glanced into the slit, and met his boss Situ Zhoulan's eyes clearly, only paused for a moment, but walked over after a moment, Situ Zhoulan froze all of a sudden up.
He saw it! He knew she was here all along! But chose to ignore it!
Liang Yanbei's handsome face raised a smile of unknown meaning, he took a cloak and put it on his body, he came and went in a hurry, and when he was parting, he looked at Wen Chan several times reluctantly, and then braved the cold wind and left Xiyang Palace.
After Wen Chan confirmed that he had left, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the screen, but saw Situ Zhoulan's dull expression as if he had lost his soul. He thought she was scared by Liang Yanbei himself just now, so he didn't care.
He said, "Situ Zhoulan, although I won't kill you, I won't let you go so easily either."
He turned around and took out the small box, took off the silk cloth from her mouth, pinched Situ Zhoulan's chin to force her to open her mouth wide, "You can enjoy the pair of monsters you bought."
She realized what Wen Chan wanted to do, and struggled violently, but Wen Chan's hands were so strong that she couldn't move her face, so she had to swallow the male and female gu that he poured into her mouth.
Wen Chan also pinched her throat to make sure she swallowed it all before letting go, and said with a smile, "This is also good. The person you love the most in the future will be yourself, and no one will take away your love."
Situ Zhoulan trembled all over, coughed violently, and retched constantly trying to spit out the pair of Gu worms, but the Gu worms were alive, and they burrowed into the blood vessels of the inner organs as soon as they entered, and they couldn't rely on dry Vomit out.
Tears poured down violently and wet her entire face in a short while, despair overwhelmed her.
That brother Yan Bei who grew up with her, who would protect her and care about her, who was like an elder brother and a relative, now completely abandoned her for an outsider!
Everything she had worked so hard for turned into decay and vanished in the very moment when they looked at each other.
Wen Chan looked at her crying bitterly, in a good mood, almost laughed out loud, holding a steady coat and shouting, "Come here!"
Ah Fu came in in response, "Your Highness, the servant is here."
"Send her back." Wen Chan pointed to Situ Zhoulan and said, "Just throw her anywhere."
"Wen Chan! I hate you!" She glared at Wen Chan with resentment, and cursed, "You will die badly! Die badly!"
Ah Fu got angry when he heard this, and immediately slapped her very loudly, "Bah! Shut up that rotten mouth of yours!"
Wen Chan didn't care, and said with a smile, "You said you hate me?"
He approached Situ Zhoulan, his expression became more and more cold, "Have you ever thought about how much I hated you? Just because of your male and female Gu, I ruined half of my life. If I can, I really want to cramp you." Pull out the bones, torture to death, and relieve the hatred in my heart."
His expression became extremely terrifying at this moment, making Situ Zhoulan flinch involuntarily.
But the next moment, Wen Chan returned to his former gentleness, and said with a smile, "But I won't do that, I want you to taste the evil results yourself, and die little by little in unwillingness and resentment, just like Zhong Wenting Same, like Zhong Guoyi."
Situ Zhoulan yelled hysterically and struggled like crazy, trying to break the rope on her body, her eyes were bloodshot, she looked extremely hateful.
Ah Fu was taken aback by her appearance, he quickly pulled Wen Chan back a few steps, and said to the outside, "Come here! Come here!"
The dark guard who had tied up Situ Zhoulan had already been prepared, and when he heard him shout, they entered the door in unison, knelt on the ground and waited for orders.
"Throw him out of the palace quickly." Ah Fu said, with disgust in his tone.
The dark guard stepped forward, knocked Situ Zhoulan unconscious who was still screaming and struggling, and took him out of the palace just like when he came.
Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, this woman looks like a lunatic, you are still so close, what if I bite you?"
"How can her neck be so long?" Wen Chan sat on the soft chair and sighed comfortably, "What do you think will happen when a pair of male and female insects live in the same host?"
"Do they love each other and reproduce together? Or do they kill each other for the sake of the host?"
Ah Fu didn't understand what he said, but he still thought about it seriously, and said, "Perhaps they will breed offspring for survival, and then eat up the host body?"
Thinking about it, he shivered, "Why does this servant feel a little scary?"
"Is there?" Wen Chan said with a smile, "I think it's not bad..."
