Chapter 209 Ancestral Rules
Zhiying secretly grinded his teeth, while pretending to be calm, he took two sips of the sweet potato juice handed to him by Little Golden Crow, then held the bowl and muttered: "I shouldn't have done anything shocking, otherwise you would have done something wrong.
You're laughing at me!" After saying this, he drank the whole bowl.
"I feel good about myself and have a good attitude!" Xiao Jinwu curled her eyes and gently wiped away the remaining persimmon juice from the corner of her mouth with her fingertips.
Xiao Jinwu's fingertips were like a soft-bristled brush, tickling Weaver Ying's skin. The tingling feeling seemed to be on the apex of his heart, the itch was severe, and a layer of heat was stirred up wherever he brushed it.
So I couldn't help but miss his fingertips.
"I'll do it myself." His tone was slightly flustered.
Zhiying touched the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and the tingling on the tip of his heart subsided slightly, but the heat could not subside for a long time.
Where did this smelly crow learn these seductive tricks? It really makes her a little unable to resist...
She lowered her eyes and put the bowl on the bedside table as if to avoid it. She settled her mind and then looked at Little Golden Crow strangely: "You are also drunk, Liu Guang. Why is it that I am the only one drunk, but you are like this?"
Are you energetic?" Thinking of a certain point, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is it possible that you drank secretly in the past and developed your drinking capacity?"
Xiao Jinwu gently twisted his fingertips, and the sweet and rich aroma of persimmon juice faintly emanated. He replied casually: "Didn't you just want to get drunk last night? If I get drunk again, who will take care of you?"
Zhi Ying's eyes sharpened: "If any little thief dares to take advantage of someone's danger, this goddess——"
"Freeze him into an ice sculpture."
Xiao Jinwu took over the words smoothly.
Zhiying raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded: "Not only that, but you also have to throw it into the Xianyun Pond to wash away the three poisons in your body, and be reincarnated as a human being!"
Little Golden Crow nodded his chin in a serious manner: "There is indeed someone who is about to be reincarnated as a human being."
"Huh?" Zhi Ying asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Xiao Jinwu said seriously: "Fudan sent word that the incident involving the female assassin the day before yesterday has been resolved."
Zhiying was slightly surprised: "So fast?" She thought that time would be stuck and the results would be available tomorrow.
Little Golden Crow said: "Those two flying squirrels are still of some use after all." He stopped Zhi Ying who was in a hurry to get out of bed, "Don't worry, now in Chenchu, the Demon Queen has just started to interrogate the female assassin. I will go with you later.
You should recuperate your spirits first before you can watch the show." The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a hint of mystery.
Zhiying sat back slowly, and finally waited until the end of the morning. She dragged Little Golden Crow and was swept like a whirlwind to the Chenji Hall where Mrs. Yantang was interrogating the female assassin.
At that time, the Queen of the Demon Realm and the Fox King Gaotang had already sat down with dignity. Xu made up his mind to kill the assassin, but he did not avoid suspicion and invited Ji Li to attend the trial. However, Sang Tai, who was investigating the case, did not return.
Standing behind Mrs. Yantang as an invisible person, she stood at the bottom of the steps, with a tall and straight posture and a calm gaze, showing a bit of the aura of a leader.
Zhiying and Xiao Jinwu chose seats and sat down, and Mrs. Yantang called the female assassin in.
Not long after, two guards escorted a woman in and walked to the center of the hall before stopping.
The guards used force to force the woman to kneel down. The handcuffs and shackles collided with each other during the movement. The sound was particularly loud in the quiet hall. Because she lowered her head and closed her eyes, it was really difficult for others to see her face clearly.
Mrs. Yantang said: "Raise your head."
The woman did as she was told. She was wearing plain white clothes, her temples were slightly messy, and her complexion was pale, but it could not cover up her own beauty at all. However, it was not as charming as when they first met, nor when she was doing the green waist dance.
It's smart and light, but it's a kind of desolation and helplessness as the leaves fall in the autumn wind.
Although we only met a few times, these few days were enough to impress Zhiying and he recognized her at a glance. This woman was none other than the beloved concubine who often accompanied the Fox King Gaotang.
——Draw the screen.
Zhiying glanced at Mrs. Yantang suspiciously.
Huaping is from Gaotang, which means she is from Mrs. Yantang and Chaoqian. She is Chaoqian's life force. Huaping's assassination of her is undoubtedly a hindrance to Mrs. Yantang...
After Zhiying was assassinated, he guessed that the person who instigated the female assassin was Mrs. Yantang's political enemy, but he did not expect that the female assassin was the closest person to Gao Tang.
She naturally looked at Gao Tang opposite, only to see him with his eyelashes lowered and his thin lips slightly pursed, coming in from her and Xiao Jinwu. Even though he was summoned to Huabing to enter the palace, he did not waver in the slightest. I can't tell what kind of emotion it is.
She vaguely heard Mrs. Yantang let out a sigh, and then Sangtai below asked in a routine manner: "Huaping, do you know your guilt?"
Huaping knelt in the center of the hall, his eyes filled with dead silence, and he remained silent without saying a word.
"You have been living in the Fox King's mansion for a long time, and you will not understand the various punishments of the monster clan. If they are imposed on you, how long will you be able to survive?" Sangtai's eyes were calm and calm, and he presented himself to the painting screen. Very powerful.
Zhi Ying secretly shook his head. It was extremely unwise to use severe torture to extract a confession and beat him into a move. Sangtai's move was not considered clever.
Sure enough, the painting screen opened with a sneer: "I am a prisoner under the stairs, a person who is about to die, why should Manager Sang bother to explain the pros and cons to me? I am the one who assassinated the Liushuang Imperial Envoy. The painting screen confesses and accepts the punishment. There is thunder and rain. It's your kindness, but I dare to ask the Demon Queen, is the current master of the demon world your Majesty, or you?"
A pair of charming eyes were extremely cold and stern, looking at Mrs. Yantang sitting on the seat, and then sliding towards Chao Qian beside her.
Chao Qian was holding a scroll in his hand. After hearing this, he looked up at the picture screen below him, then turned his head and smiled with Madam Yantang, and then looked at the picture screen again.
"According to the rules of our ancestors, kings and queens each have their own duties. The affairs of the female relatives of the demon clan have always been handled by the demon queens of all generations. You are the female dependents of the Fox King's house. How to deal with it is naturally decided by the demon queen. The abilities of the demon queen are very important to me. Don't worry. You go on, don't worry about me." After saying that, he focused on the book in his hand. When he found that he had finished reading this page, he raised his hand to turn to the next page.
Zhiying smiled, she had long heard that the demon king and queen had a deep love for each other, but she never thought that Chao Qian was such a demon king who was crazy about protecting his wife.
"The rules of our ancestors..." Huaping scoffed, "The demon kings of all generations were appointed by the demon kings of the previous generations. It is easy to get the position of demon king. The demon queen has played a lot of role in this, right?"
Her laughter was as gentle as the breeze blowing through the willows in spring, but her words were as cold and biting as the ice that was hard to melt in the middle of winter.
Zhiying suddenly thought of the Tushan Demon King Ji Li told her that day. When she heard Huaping talk about it today, she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart. Then she took a closer look and found that the Huaping was originally a two-tailed red fox.
As a member of the Fox clan, Huaping had no reason to go against Gaotang, who dotes on her. Either she was bribed by others, or...she was the Tushan Fox who was at odds with Qingqiu, so she assassinated her and indirectly undermined the imperial court. Diving dragon.
With Gaotang's power and love for her, there was really no need for Huaping to be bribed, so the only possibility was that she was Tu Shanhu.
She could guess these things, so how could Chao Qian, Mrs. Yantang and others, who were so crooked in their minds, not think of this? However, everyone had their own thoughts and secretly weighed the pros and cons, and the scene became cold for a while.
Weaver Shadow played with a lock of hair hanging on her chest, braiding it and then unraveling it, repeating the cycle several times. Finally, when the calm was broken, someone in the palace suddenly moved.
Before anyone could see clearly how he left his position and how he moved, his palms had already grabbed Huaping's throat, and his expressionless face fluctuated slightly at the moment when Huaping had difficulty breathing and showed an expression of pain.
"Fox King, no!" Sang Tai stepped forward, intending to stop him.
Gao Tang seemed not to hear anything, and raised his eyes, his eyes slowly resting on the beautiful and charming face on the screen.
Only then did Shadow Weaver see that hidden under his thick eyelashes were a pair of bloodshot and tired eyes, in which the pain of being betrayed by someone close to him was self-evident.
