The day's visit lasted from noon to evening. At the invitation of the enthusiastic Cuidisi, Lin Sen would have dinner with the monarch, and before the dinner, there would be a grand dance.
Before Lin Sen returned to the King's Palace and waited, Dongfang Ruo and Leng Ying also found some useful clues in the little princess.
Not long after Lin Sen followed Cuidisi to the Hall of Valor, the little princess brought Dongfang Ruo and Leng Ying to her palace. The princess's name followed the naming habits of the Cuidisi royal family in the past. Before she lost her crown, she was named Bernard according to law.
Liya means bright pearl in the ancient text of Cuidisi.
Liya's palace is located in the northwest corner of the imperial court. Because it is very close to the artificial sun, there is almost no night. The entire palace courtyard is shrouded in dark golden light. Even the lotus flowers that Dongfang Ruo left here a long time ago are also covered in light.
They all lost their color and became dazzling.
The little princess's room originally belonged to Dongfang Ruo. Although it changed owners now, nothing has changed, so when she returned here Dongfang Ruo seemed very calm and familiar.
After removing her makeup, Liya finally returned to her normal natural beauty, but the feeling behind this naturalness was very hollow.
Dongfang Ruo and Leng Ying both saw it very clearly, but they had a tacit understanding and did not ask directly. Instead, they used indirect ways of awakening memories to try to confirm whether the little princess was a puppet.
The results obtained were surprising. Liya's thinking was continuous, and there were no defects or blanks like that of a puppet. However, when Dongfang Ruo asked Liya about her "mother", Liya seemed very confused.
She couldn't understand the concept.
After receiving this response, Dongfang Ruo immediately stopped talking and changed her thinking mode. She began to guide Liya to think about other things, and then asked Leng Ying to search for clues about Liya's mother inside and outside the room.
As Cui Disi's younger sister, Leng Ying still had an impression of her sister-in-law whom she had only met a few times. Unfortunately, the beauty who was shrouded in silence all the time had hardly appeared again since she married into the imperial court. Now she even
Her own children have no impression of her at all, so this joke is too big.
While Dongfang Ruo was teaching Liya some skills as a teacher, Leng Ying quietly left the princess's palace and walked toward the courtyard where the queen was.
Leng Ying met many attendants and guards along the way, but Leng Ying was not discovered in her hidden state. She arrived at the queen's palace unimpeded, but as soon as she entered the door, she felt something unusual here.
There was a dead silence in the empty courtyard. Not only was there no sign of the queen, but there were no servants or attendants. This strange scene made Leng Ying even think that she had come to another world. And as she went deeper,
Leng Ying discovered that it was not just dead silence here, but that it was indeed completely different from the world outside the door. The old feeling here exuded the smell of decay, as if no one had lived there for many years, but Leng Ying
However, Sakura clearly remembered that just two years ago she was here to witness the birth of the little princess with her brother Cuidisi.
Standing at the end of the corridor that Leng Hong had walked up and down countless times with excitement and uneasiness two years ago, looking at the splendid door that had now become dilapidated and decaying, a huge uneasiness came over her.
"Did everything start from that time?" Leng Ying suddenly realized something. The depths of her awakened memory actually felt severe pain again at this time, like some kind of deep hidden imprisonment inadvertently.
It was like being discovered by Leng Ying.
With this kind of pain, Leng Ying forced herself to calm down. She cautiously retreated to a relatively safe corner, and then carefully recalled everything.
In the memory that had been turned into fragments, Leng Ying remembered something that should not be forgotten. It was the first time she saw a child, and it was also the first time she saw her brother become panicked after joy.
It has changed and become distant...
Is Liya really dead?
Strange thoughts torture Leng Ying, what is going on all this... Ke Liya still exists, why...
No...there must be something overlooked.
The pain deep in Leng Ying's memory became more and more obvious, which required her to use more attention to recall, so she did not notice the soft footsteps coming from the corridor behind her at all.
It wasn't until the disconnected memory fragments lingered in a horrifying scene and froze that Leng Ying woke up, and the footsteps had already come behind Leng Ying.
Leng Ying stood up suddenly and faced the enemy who was approaching quietly.
Although Leng Ying had disappeared into the invisible state of nothingness, she almost screamed when she saw the person who suddenly appeared in front of her.
In fact, the person standing in front of Leng Ying can no longer be called a human, because she has no facial features, only a "mouth" that seems to open and close on her soft clay-like face, and the inside of the mouth is dark and empty.
Yes, her head was swaying unsteadily from side to side as if she had lost the support of her neck. Her pale body was covered with holes and sockets, and those sockets that still retained rusty metal ports were filled with dark blood. Her limbs
It was so shriveled that only bones were left, and some female features had basically degenerated and almost disappeared.
She dragged her body like this and stood less than ten centimeters away from Leng Ying. The rotten stench made Leng Ying unbearable, but Leng Ying did not dare to move. She was not sure whether this sudden monster had discovered her.
You can retreat quietly and wait for an opportunity to escape from here.
But every time Leng Ying took a step back, the monster would move forward as if it smelled the breath, and she whimpered and made a sound of "vomit...uh...um...uh..." in her throat.
There was no expression in that voice, it was just the most primitive instinctive reaction.
What to do... Although Leng Ying's invisibility ability is very strong, it is not unlimited. As time goes by, she will soon expose herself, so she must find a way to get rid of this thing and escape first.
Seeing that she was about to be forced into the room after taking a few steps back, Leng Ying's face turned cold. She turned over the dagger in her hand, and when the monster was unconsciously exploring forward, she suddenly raised her hand to strike first.
The sharp blade easily cut through the monster's throat, and then when the monster whimpered, "Uh...oh..." and waved its arms wildly, Leng Ying ducked around it and ran straight towards it.
Run to the courtyard outside the corridor.
However, what Leng Ying never expected was that she far underestimated the strength of this monster.
Just when Leng Ying walked back to the yard through the corridor and rushed towards the door, the monster let out a miserable scream, then folded back in half, then suddenly pressed down like a giant spider and chased after it at a terrifying speed.
As it came, the black blood turned a gloomy green, making a frightening corrosive sound as it splashed around.
