Chapter 220 Who is planning
Late at night, it was quiet and silent, and the entire Jingzhao Yin prison cell was immersed in darkness. However, in this dark corner, a dark shadow quietly sneaked into the room where Luo Lingyue was imprisoned.
The shadow was like a ghost, nimble and light, as if blending into the darkness. He approached Luo Lingyue's bed and stared at her quietly as she dozed off.
Xueying's voice, with a hint of stiffness and concern, broke the silence: "You knew that Xiao Xiao's cup of tea was poisonous, why did you drink it without hesitation? Don't you want to save your life?"
Luo Lingyue did not open her eyes, but replied calmly: "That little bit of poison is just a piece of cake for me." Her tone was understated, and she did not seem to take the poisoning to heart.
Xueying couldn't help but frowned and continued to ask: "Even so, you shouldn't risk your life so easily. What are your plans?"
Luo Lingyue finally slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xueying with a determined gaze: "I have my own plan, all of which is to achieve the ultimate goal. How can a mere little poison stop me from moving forward?"
Her words revealed a kind of determination and confidence, which made Xueying feel both admiration and worry. Xueying knew Luo Lingyue's character very well, and knew that once she decided on something, she would do it without hesitation!
Luo Lingyue said calmly: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. Besides, this adventure may bring us unexpected gains."
There was a hint of slight annoyance in Xueying's eyes, and he said in a somewhat stiff tone: "But you vomited blood!"
Luo Lingyue slowly opened her eyes, with a trace of fatigue and helplessness in her eyes. She responded softly: "Does your Soul-seeking Sect have no business to do recently? Why do you come to monitor me every day?"
Xueying sighed softly, as if he felt helpless about Luo Lingyue's attitude. He muttered to himself, "It's all because of you, a troublesome person! Well, tell me, what do you need my help with?"
Luo Lingyue glanced at Xueying out of the corner of her eye, and then said coldly: "Go and find out what Xiao Jinghan's current condition is for me!"
Xueying stared at Luo Lingyue closely, a cunning look flashed in his eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly: "Since you are so worried, why don't you go to the Dali Temple in person to find out? How can this mere cell stop you!" After that, he turned around and left without looking back.
In the middle of the night, everything was quiet, the moonlight was like water pouring into the room, and there was a sense of tranquility. However, at this quiet moment, Xiao Jinghan suddenly felt a strange breath beside him. His alertness was instantly awakened, but because he was still asleep, his body's reaction was slightly slow.
The next moment, Xiao Jinghan suddenly opened his eyes and was stunned by the scene in front of him. The person standing beside his bed was actually Dark Moon Fairy! Her figure appeared here silently like a ghost. Xiao Jinghan's heart tightened, and he quickly sat up, rubbing his eyes at the same time, trying to wake himself up completely from his sleep.
"What are you doing here? Do you want to break into the prison?" Xiao Jinghan's voice was a little hoarse and sleepy, but his eyes were staring at Dark Moon Fairy very sharply. He knew that this woman's appearance was definitely unusual, and now that she was in prison, any disturbance could lead to serious consequences.
Dark Moon Fairy shook her head slightly, her eyes revealing a trace of concern: "I just came to see you, worried that you might be tortured."
Xiao Jinghan raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Don't worry, they don't have the guts yet." His tone was calm and confident, as if he was fully confident of his situation. Although he was imprisoned, he was not afraid or panicked at all.
Dark Moon Fairy showed a confused look on her face: "You can obviously not get involved in this matter at all, why do you want to take risks for Luo Lingyue..."
Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly and said firmly: "Because she wants to play chess, then I am willing to be the chess piece in her hand! In another month, she will become my wife, so of course I should clear all obstacles for her!"
Dark Moon Fairy raised her eyebrows and questioned, "Aren't you afraid of sacrificing your reputation and life?"
A trace of determination flashed across Xiao Jinghan's stern face, and he nodded vigorously: "I am willing!"
Dark Moon Enchantress chuckled: "Then I wish you can get what you wish for!" After that, she turned and left, leaving Xiao Jinghan standing there alone, looking into the distance with a firm gaze.
After the voodoo doll was found in Prince Wu'an's mansion, the Queen Mother and the Empress's conditions quickly improved.
On the second day, the virtuous prince angrily reported to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty! Since the last emperor, we have completely eradicated the art of witchcraft. Now, witchcraft has been discovered in the Wu'an Palace, and it has harmed the Queen Mother and the Empress! Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Emperor Wen said solemnly, "Lord Lu and Lord Lang! Is there any progress in this case?"
Lu Zheng and Lang Ming looked at each other, and Lu Zheng replied, "Your Majesty! This matter is quite tricky! I have already detained Prince Xiao, the Luo brothers and sisters, and Miss Xiao. After a night of investigation, I have found out that those alchemists are from Nanyi!"
Emperor Wen frowned and thought to himself. He knew that the Nanyi region had always been mysterious and its witchcraft was even more frightening. Now that this witchcraft incident had involved Nanyi, it was really worrying.
Lu Zheng continued, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the witchcraft of Nanyi has been passed down for a long time, and the methods are insidious and cunning. This time they dared to sneak into the Wu'an Palace to perform witchcraft, I think they must have some ulterior motives."
Emperor Wen nodded in agreement. He looked at his ministers sharply and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
For a time, the court was full of discussions. Some ministers suggested strengthening the management of Nanyi to prevent the spread of witchcraft in Nanyi; others believed that Nanyi witchcraft should be thoroughly investigated to find out the mastermind behind it.
At this time, a white-haired old minister stepped forward and said slowly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the most urgent task is to ensure the safety of the Queen Mother and the Empress. In addition, we should send capable people to Nanyi to find out Nanyi's purpose and plan. At the same time, we also need to restore order in the country to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble."
Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "What you said is very true! Lords Lu and Lang, please continue to investigate this matter thoroughly! Wise King! You will be the chief judge of this case! You must closely monitor the progress of this case!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao, who was in the Jingzhao Yin prison cell, couldn't help but frown after hearing the report from the secret agent: "How could this matter involve Nan Yi? It was clearly the Taoist priest invited by Li Jingshu! Go to the East Palace quickly to find out what is going on."
In a palace in the imperial palace, a secret guard lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness! That Taoist priest will definitely hold on to Nan Yi! But what benefit can we get by doing this?"
The man sitting in the dark laughed softly and said, "Xiao Xiao must not be allowed to stay! How can the people of the Luo family be allowed to be bullied at will! As for other matters, you don't need to pay too much attention to them. Father will naturally push everything forward!"
