Sitting next to the water, smelling the faint fragrance, Xiyue and Qumo ordered something, admiring the blooming flowers, and were about to speak when they heard the guest opposite say in a mysterious and lowered voice.
"Have you heard about it recently? I heard that the Department of Prisons recently had a big case."
"Yes, we have also vaguely heard that groups of corpses appeared on a mountain dozens of miles away from the capital. This is too scary, so now people are panicked and no one dares to go out.
ah."
…
"If this is really the case, there will never be peace in the capital. What if the mysterious killer captures us again and kills us on the mountain? This...this, this, this...this is too scary."
"By the way, have you heard which mountain it is?"
——Hearing this, Xiyue raised her eyes, took out a talisman and wrote something on it. She chanted a spell and sent it to the Seventh Prince. Qu Mo was a little puzzled. Xiyue reached out and picked up the delicate little wine bottle.
, said softly while pouring wine into Qu Mo’s cup.
"If my guess is correct, what they are going to talk about next is the location of the incident, and there will even be someone to verify whether it is true or not -"
"I asked Xuanjing to send someone to block the hole, or create an illusion so that no one can see the abnormality. Those who go to verify it will not see anything, and the rumor will naturally be disproven."
…
Qu Mo nodded, and then the people behind him started whispering again.
"Yes, yes...it's on that mountain. I heard that only those who gather herbs and collect firewood occasionally go up there. It's very mysterious, so the body was left there and no one has ever found it."
"I think this is impossible, and no one has gone to see if this is the case. If a body is placed there, there must be traces, and we can verify whether this is true or not..."
"Speaking of verification, I have a good candidate here——"
…
Qu Mo raised his eyes and looked at Xiyue with admiration. Xiyue also smiled helplessly, her eyes were very heavy. Qu Mo, on the other hand, was not surprised and felt a little depressed. He didn't know what was going on.
Xiyue took a sip of wine and then asked.
"I haven't seen you for a while, what's wrong with you?"
"well--"
When he mentioned this, Qu Mo suddenly turned pale. After drinking a few drinks, he smiled bitterly and explained the whole story to Xiyue.
It turned out that Qu Mo, who was a cabinet bachelor, secretly fell in love with the daughter of a wealthy businessman after an encounter. However, in ancient times, wealthy businessmen were the lowest in the eyes of people. The Qu family did not agree with this marriage at all. Qu Mo and that
The girl was also in great pain. Her family pressed her hard and even made an agreement with Qu Mo about a marriage from another well-matched family. Qu Mo was so angry that he wanted to elope with his beloved.
…
When she said this, Qu Mo's eyes were a little red. Xiyue frowned and looked at the sincere Qu Mo, and her heart tightened slightly. She could feel how deep Qu Mo's heart was when he said this.
of pain.
"I don't care about her background or whether she's a good match. I just want to be with the one I love. What's wrong with her?"
"My father has threatened me with future, and my mother has threatened me with death, but they won't allow me to marry her. Fourth Miss, Su Su and I have made an agreement, and we will elope on the night of the full moon and disappear from this world."
