Chapter 185: Manager Wang has a crush on me
The entire scene seemed to fall into silence in an instant.
The woman looked at Jian Yue in front of her in astonishment, holding her hand and talking to her nonstop.
Jian Yue could even say to her in a familiar manner: "Look, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. You won't blame me, will you?"
The woman was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you really from the Xue family?"
Jian Yue said: "You are a very honest person, otherwise why would I be attracted by your beautiful singing voice? Every time I hear your singing, I even feel like you held me in your arms when I was a child!"
"Do you really think my singing is nice?" She narrowed her eyes and looked at him coldly.
Jian Yue's heart was a little nervous: "Yes."
The woman smiled and said, "You have such good taste! Now I believe you are really from the Xue family!"
Jian Yue: “…”
Isn’t this method of judgment a bit too hasty?
She said: "Does our Xue family really still have any descendants alive now?"
Jian Yue first pulled out his leg that was pinched by his second uncle on the ground with great difficulty, and then said, "If there is no accident, there should be."
The woman's expression changed and turned cold: "You don't even know about this kind of thing?"
Jian Yue immediately became serious: "Because I am not with him because of his identity, we are true love!"
What he said was simply powerful.
These words shocked the woman. She looked at Jian Yue with a little admiration and said, "I underestimated you. You are so aware. Don't say it. Although I don't seem to have a nephew, from now on, you are my biological nephew!"
Jian Yue's eyes were filled with tears: "I have long wanted to have an aunt, aunt, you are my real aunt!"
The woman patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, look how excited your uncle is. Come on, don't touch the child with your 80-year-old dried meat. No one wants it."
Jian Yue choked up. He thought that this person was hitting him with a brick! It turned out to be dried meat! I misunderstood you, uncle!
Watching it.
The fog around him seemed to have grown thicker without him noticing. A woman's voice whispered in Jian Yue's ear, "You should leave here. This is not a place for you to stay for long."
Jian Yue immediately turned around and asked, "Where exactly is this place?"
The woman did not answer him. Her face became blurred in Jian Yue's eyes. Even after the mist reappeared, it slowly turned into a pile of white bones. Only her voice continued to remain in Jian Yue's ears: "This is not the place you should come. The Xue family are all sinners... We can't pay for our sins..."
Jian Yue looked at the woman who was slowly turning into a pile of white bones in front of him. He felt as if a chill was coming out from behind him. However, he was also attracted by her: "What do you mean? Why is there a sin?"
噳Ｐ隟Ｐ開Ｐ哩K
Right in front of him, the bones were hidden in the house.
For some reason, the fog around us became thicker and thicker, until we couldn't see our hands in front of us.
Jian Yue was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, but when he saw the person who had just been talking to him disappear, he couldn't help but take a step forward, but he found nothing.
There were only rustling sounds in the fog, which was sticky, as if some creature was crawling on the ground.
This invisible thing is the most tormenting.
The sound was getting closer and closer to him. Jian Yue slowly moved his hand to his waist, where he placed a hanging knife. When the sound was closer to him, his hand was also very close to the handle of the knife.
Until the voice actually hit him on the shoulder.
"ah!"
Screams rang out in the fog.
Little Leo said: "Ghost!!"
Jian Yue looked at the man who was staring at him in bewilderment, and calmly took back the knife that was on his neck. After a moment of silence, he said, "I am a human."
After confirming several times in shock, Little Li even touched Jian Yue's pulse and hand. After confirming that there was really temperature, he patted his chest and said, "It's really you. I was scared to death."
Jian Yue asked: "Where did you go just now?"
"Just when I came to my senses, you were gone." Little Leo said, "I was walking alone in the fog, and then I heard singing over here, so I came over to take a look, and I met you."
Jian Yue wondered, if they all heard the singing, did that mean he got here earlier than them, or was the space actually different?
"Did you see anyone else?" he asked.
Little Li nodded quickly and said, "I see, they are in front, I came to find you."
Jian Yue said: "This fog is coming very quickly, it might be dangerous, so let's go first."
Little Li felt the same way. He hurried forward, and Jian Yue followed him. The two walked one after the other in the fog. The fog around them was thick. Jian Yue walked behind Little Li and said, "Are you all okay? Are you injured? I put some medicine on each of you when you came here."
"No one is hurt, everything is fine." Little Leo said: "Were you in danger?"
Jian Yue said: "No."
Little Li then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's go quickly."
A clear smell of blood and a thick taste could be smelled in the fog. When Little Li reached a corner, his figure became increasingly blurred, while the bloody smell and the sound of something sticky crawling in the fog became louder and louder. As his figure became increasingly blurred, he said to Jian Yue, "This is it. Come in quickly..."
The dagger reappeared at his neck.
Jian Yue's voice was very cold. He said, "Let me leave here."
Little Leo's figure paused.
He didn't seem to think about how Jian Yue saw through him. He just turned his head stiffly. His eyes became empty and resentful at some point. When he looked back at Jian Yue again, there was only viciousness in them. He just stared at Jian Yue without saying a word.
Jian Yue held the knife against his throat without releasing it. He smiled and said, "I didn't put any medicine on your bodies, but you didn't refute it. Although your disguise is no different from that of an ordinary person, even your body temperature and breathing are not wrong, but you ignored the habit of walking. He doesn't walk as lightly as you do. Be careful in your next life."
Xiao Lizi's hand instantly turned into a pile of white bones and attacked Jian Yue.
Jian Yue blocked it with his backhand blade.
The white bone was broken, and he looked at Jian Yue with his teeth and claws bared in pain. The flesh and blood on his body was slowly melting, and finally he turned into a complete bone man.
At the same time, the fog around thinned a little.
Jian Yue saw clearly that there were white human bones crawling all around him.
The mist slowly dissipated as Xiao Lizi's bones collapsed. When Jian Yue turned around and opened his eyes, he found himself back in front of the blood-written stone tablet. On his left and right were Gao Fei and others.
Gao Fei asked anxiously, "What happened to him? Why did he suddenly faint?"
Concubine Liu took the needle from her pocket and was about to stab Jian Yue: "Hey, don't bother me, I'm thinking."
Little Leo squatted down and said, "He's awake! He seems to be awake!"
Everyone looked at Jian Yue.
Jian Yue looked at the needle so close to him, feeling lucky that he woke up early. He pushed away Concubine Liu's hand and said, "Did I just faint?"
"That's right!" Little Li said, "You just touched the blood-written stone tablet and suddenly fainted. We were scared. Where can we find a doctor for you in this underground palace in the wild mountains?"
Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then said to Xiao Lizi, "Take two steps and show me."
Little Leo was stunned: "What? You are the one who fainted, I am not sick."
"Just take a walk if you're not sick." Jian Yue said.
Little Leo: “…”
Don't understand but respect.
He took two steps and turned around twice, then turned back and said to Jian Yue: "Do you want me to perform another crosstalk for you?"
Jian Yue lowered his head and rubbed his brows with relief: "No need."
Gao Fei asked, "Nothing happened when you fainted, right?"
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but sigh when they saw this:
"This is the strength of the top 100!"
“They’re all so sharp!”
"What makes this dungeon so cool is that everyone's IQ is online!"
Jian Yue simply told what happened after he fainted.
"There's another me?" Leo was shocked and made an indescribable expression. He thought for a moment and said, "If I saw that, I would be scared to death."
Jian Yue thought about it and thought that if she saw someone exactly like herself, she would probably be scared too.
Lady Liu asked, "Are they really exactly the same?"
Jian Yue nodded.
"Is this an illusion?" Gao Fei guessed, "There are things in this underground palace that can cause hallucinations."
Jian Yue glanced sideways at the stone wall. He had not forgotten what they said, that he fainted after touching the blood letter, so he reached out to touch it again and study the stone wall.
Gao Fei said: "Hey! Why are you still touching it?"
Jian Yue: "Since we are here now, and we have just encountered this once, we might as well study it thoroughly, otherwise we will lose out."
Everyone: “…”
You're not here to travel, brother!
After Jian Yue's fingertips slowly moved across the stone tablet, he actually noticed something different. He moved the flashlight a little closer and said, "There is a painting on the stone wall behind the blood letter."
At the beginning, everyone was only attracted by the blood-written self. When the attention was all on the words, it was easy to overlook something.
The others moved closer.
Under the winding blood words, if you look closely, you can indeed find that there is a faintly angular painting underneath the words, with pavilions, towers, mountains, rivers and lakes on the picture.
Jian Yue's gaze was fixed on the lake.
That was the place I touched at the beginning.
"I may have entered this painting." He was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.
Gao Fei and the others were shocked: "What!?"
Jian Yue's gaze was fixed on the stone wall. He said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be like this."
Concubine Liu was shocked and asked, "People can enter the painting?"
Little Li thought for a moment and said, "There is a nanny in our bedroom who comes to put paintings every night. Could this be related?"
If we follow this line of thought, there is indeed something wrong with the painting, and after entering this copy, many things that cannot be explained by science and common sense have indeed happened, so entering a painting does not seem to be something so unacceptable.
"The most important thing is that real people will appear in the paintings." Jian Yue's voice fell: "In the previous illusion, paintings were just paintings, and no living people would appear in them."
Everyone's faces turned a little pale when they were exposed by him.
indeed.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that I think about it carefully, it is really true.
Little Leo was the most frightened. He pulled his lips and forced a smile to comfort himself, saying, "It's just in the painting."
Jian Yue said: "What if there are more and more people in the painting, so many that you can't tell whether it is in the painting or in reality."
Everyone felt a chill down their spine instantly.
The most terrifying thing is not being able to distinguish between the display and the illusion. The terrifying thing is that when you don’t know whether you are living in a painting or in reality, how do you know whether you are dead or alive? Maybe you have been trapped in the painting, and the person in the painting has replaced the real you and is living in reality?
Gao Fei and Liu Guiren guessed Jian Yue's hidden intention, and their expressions became serious.
Lady Liu said, "What's even scarier is that maybe the person in the painting is already around us."
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Just as the fear was slowly spreading around him, Jian Yue's face was full of seriousness. He slowly said, "It has come to this."
Everyone looked at him nervously.
Jian Yue raised his head and looked at the sky above the underground palace at an angle, making a sad arc, and sighed seriously: "Let's eat first, I'm hungry."
“…”
Don't use this expression at this time!!
Jian Yue stood up from in front of the stone tablet and said, "Let's find a way out first. It's been several hours. If we don't go back to rest, we won't have energy tomorrow. Are you really not hungry?"
Gao Fei and the others were already starving.
They had been busy all day, then fought a battle of wits and courage with the python in the underground palace, and walked such a long way after coming in. If they were not so nervous, they would have wanted to sleep on the floor in the underground palace!
Little Leo said, "But how do we get out?"
Jian Yue said: "Isn't it drawn on the map?"
If you look carefully, you will find that this map is actually a panoramic map of Bailu Temple, and the exit of the back door is outside a stone gate less than 500 meters away from this stone tablet.
Only then did everyone realize that this was actually a map!
"Let's give it a try!" Gao Fei said, "It's better than being trapped here and feeding the snakes!"
Jian Yue wanted to remind him that maybe it wasn't just feeding the snakes, because his uncles from the Xue family were also there, but he didn't say anything to scare them.
Everyone walked forward. Fortunately, except for the danger Jian Yue encountered in the illusion, the rest of the journey was very safe. After successfully finding the stone door, they pushed open the door and there was a step. The step was very high and they couldn't see the top. Everyone climbed up slowly and returned to the door of the secret room of the library. When they pushed open the door, they could see the moonlight outside.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the breathable air came in.
It’s great to be alive.
This idea entered everyone's mind almost at the same time.
Jian Yue separated from the other people and rushed back without stopping. He was extremely hungry, but after returning to his room and washing up, he was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes and fell asleep immediately.
I fell asleep less than half an hour ago.
Jian Yue was awakened by being chased by the white bones in the painting in his dream. He sat up and found that someone had hung a painting in his new bedroom without knowing when, which was very haunting.
Jian Yue was now tired, sleepy and unconscious. He was in no mood to care about the painting. He struggled to get up and entered the emperor's bedroom. The eunuch on duty looked at the steward in horror. He had dark circles under his eyes and almost bumped into the pillar when he walked, but he still forced himself to walk over.
The young eunuch asked, "Master Wang?"
"You go back." Jian Yue said, "I'll stay here to keep watch."
Young eunuch: "But..."
You don't seem to have the spirit at all!
Jian Yue said vaguely: "No need for buts. I can't sleep without watching over His Majesty. You can go now. Leave this to me."
The young eunuch swallowed all his words and left.
Jian Yue glanced at the bed curtain behind the screen. The eunuchs did not have beds to sleep on, and they usually curled up against the pillars. Jian Yue was not in the mood to be picky about the bed environment, so he leaned against the pillar and fell asleep on the ground.
So when Huangfu Chengyu woke up at the appointed time, he found someone curled up on the ground not far from his bed.
The eunuch heard a voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty."
Huangfu Chengyu pointed and said, "Why is he here?"
The young eunuch hurriedly said, "Chief Steward Wang said he couldn't sleep without watching over you, so he came last night."
Huangfu Chengyu: "..."
The young eunuch was newly transferred and wanted to show off: "Your Majesty, may I help you change your clothes?"
The former servants in the palace all knew that Huangfu Chengyu didn't like people getting close to him, so no one dared to make such a request. Huangfu Chengyu frowned slightly and waved his hand calmly: "Go down."
The young eunuch was stunned. The emperor's aura was so intimidating that he didn't need to speak in a hasty manner, but it was still enough to inspire awe. He almost immediately didn't dare to say anything and quickly retreated.
Jian Yue, who was curled up on the ground in front of the pillar, was still sleeping.
Until a voice fell from my ear: "Wake up."
The person who had not slept for three hours curled up his ears and continued to sleep, as if he didn't want to be paid attention to.
This was the first time he was ignored so thoroughly. The emperor was silent for a moment before he said, "Deduct the monthly allowance."
The person sleeping on the ground suddenly opened his eyes. Jian Yue sat up subconsciously. He hadn't even opened his eyes yet. He was so sleepy that he couldn't even speak clearly, but he had already opened his mouth vaguely: "What do you mean by deduct? Don't deduct my salary, boss."
He was so sleepy that he was unconscious and could barely see the person in front of him.
Jian Yue wanted to lie back on the ground, but he also wanted his wages. After weighing the pros and cons, he hugged the legs of the person in front of him, leaning against his back and making a series of deceptive noises while sleeping: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you, and the world can attest to that..."
Huangfu Chengyu's mouth twitched, and he tried to kick away the person who was sticking to his legs, but the person was as hard to kick away as a plaster.
After a moment of stalemate.
Huangfu Chengyu looked at the clear purple circles under the man's eyes and said slowly, "What did you do last night?"
Jian Yue said: "I went to see my second uncle and my aunt."
Huangfu Chengyu: "..."
After Jian Yue felt a chill, he slowly woke up from his sleepiness. He opened his eyes and saw the emperor standing in front of him, looking at him with deep eyes. When he regained consciousness, the bold man wiped his saliva and tried to save himself. He smiled awkwardly and said tentatively: "Actually, if I say that I was talking in my sleep just now and that my second uncle and my aunt are cousins, would you believe it?"
Huangfu Chengyu was silent for a moment, then slowly curled his lips.
Jian Yue was delighted: "Your Majesty believes it?"
"I believe it." Huangfu Chengyu said slowly, "I hate talking in sleep the most. Since you haven't woken up yet, just continue sleeping..."
Jian Yue interrupted immediately: "It's not a dream, it's not a dream! I don't like to talk in my sleep by nature. Your Majesty, I remember it now. It's not a dream. I saw it in the underground palace!"
Huangfu Chengyu looked at the people in front of him and was silent for a moment before he said, "The underground palace has been abandoned for nearly a hundred years, and the people inside are now just skeletons. Are you saying that a skeleton saw you and asked you to call them second uncle and aunt?"
Jian Yue: “…”
It may sound unbelievable, but it is true, Your Majesty!!!
Jian Yue asked tentatively: "Then, am I seeing a ghost?"
Huangfu Chengyu said calmly: "There are no ghosts in this world."
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "But the Imperial Master still prays to the gods for Da Qian's blessing every day. If there really are gods, there should be ghosts as well."
There is actually nothing wrong with this logic.
Jian Yue felt that Huangfu Chengyu should also believe it.
But Huangfu Chengyu just smiled. He lowered his eyes to look at Jian Yue, and actually slowly squatted down to look at him. The man's handsome eyebrows suddenly narrowed. He curled his lips, his eyebrows and eyes were both good and evil, and he said slowly: "If there really are ghosts in this world..."
His voice was very soft, but it was extremely clear to the ears.
Although he was smiling, he was filled with endless coldness.
"He should be the first one to die."
Jian Yue felt a chill on his back, and he felt as if he had accidentally touched the tip of an iceberg. The huge iceberg hidden deep under the sea was just like the truth behind the extermination of the Xue family, so deep and cold.
Huangfu Chengyu had already stood up: "Change clothes."
Jian Yue's thoughts were pulled back and he said, "Yes."
He was now very skilled at changing clothes for others, at least he wouldn't trip anyone anymore. While changing clothes, Jian Yue could see the dark lines on Huangfu Chengyu's body, the color was still very dark, and it even seemed to have spread a little more than in the past few days.
It was still dark, but people from the kitchen outside were already delivering food inside.
Huangfu Chengyu didn't like too many people around him, and Jian Yue gradually got used to taking care of everything for him. He checked the breakfast list, and tested the food with chopsticks one by one. He stopped only after he was sure there was no problem. He put down his chopsticks and touched his stomach happily. He was full. Hehehe! The boss's diet is good! !
Wait for the people inside to come out after washing up.
Huangfu Chengyu saw Jian Yue testing the poison himself again, and he said, "We can have someone else do the test later."
Jian Yue had just finished his meal, and he was not going to do anything after hearing this. This was such a good opportunity to eat at the government's expense. He quickly said, "Your Majesty's food is not safe for me to leave to others. Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing!"
Huangfu Chengyu gave Jian Yue a meaningful look.
This person really cares about him. Even the chief steward Zhao who was sent by the national master before could not do this. He found the antidote for him, explored the underground palace for him, and even came to his bedside late at night and was willing to sleep on the floor. Now he would rather test the poison himself.
Even Manager Zhao, who approached him for profit and money, couldn't do it, but Jian Yue could do it.
Even his life was not wanted.
Could it be that...
He remembered that the storybooks said that if you really like someone, you will get flustered, nervous and avoid looking at them when you make eye contact.
Huangfu Chengyu said, "Manager Wang."
Jian Yue was startled and looked up at him nervously: "Your Majesty?"
He was so nervous that his breathing became disordered. It was all over. His Majesty wouldn't know that he had secretly eaten a few more bites just now. Ahhh, would his salary be deducted? He would not have eaten more if he had known. It was all because the pastry was too delicious!
Huangfu Chengyu saw Jian Yue's eyelashes fluttering nervously when he looked at her, and he subconsciously avoided her gaze. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since you are willing, let's do this for now."
Jian Yue was overjoyed, and it seemed that he hadn't noticed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I hope you don't think that I am meddling in other people's affairs!"
Huangfu Chengyu saw him like this and thought that Wang Zongguan thought he didn't notice his thoughts. He said slowly: "As long as you don't betray me, I won't punish you."
Jian Yue quickly said, "How could this be possible? I have been your Majesty's servant all my life!"
His greatest courage was just to eat one more piece of cake!
Besides, why would he betray a boss with such a bright future? Besides, it’s not like he hasn’t seen Huangfu Chengyu’s methods before, and it’s not like he’s tired of living and wants to receive the Nine Clan Gift Pack!
Huangfu Chengyu ate very quickly. After each meal, when he was not busy with court affairs, he would go to the Bailu Temple to listen to the morning sutras, which was also a practice for the royal family.
Jian Yue was responsible for waiting outside.
suddenly--
The system panel popped up: "Main storyline progress, key character male second has entered the main storyline, character unlocked: King of Chu"
Jian Yue was in high spirits: "The King of Chu has come to the capital? Has he come to Bailu Mountain?"
The system did not answer, but only popped up a description of the King of Chu in the plot: "The second male lead, the King of Chu, is an infatuated male lead, a romantic and philandering prince. When he saw the heroine, he was stunned by her beauty among all the beauties. He was deeply attracted by her unique temperament. Although he seems to be romantic, he is actually very cunning! He has been planting many spies in the palace and is a strong rival for the hero!"
After reading it, Jian Yue said: "I understand the truth, but what does it have to do with me..."
The system stopped talking.
Jian Yue suddenly had a bad feeling. He tried to comfort himself, "It's really okay, right? I'm telling you, you can't mess with me. Don't you know who Huangfu Chengyu is? If he finds out that I'm doing anything, he'll really kill me. But I'm just an ordinary eunuch. No matter how you think about it, I can't be the King of Chu's spy, hahahaha...
Just chatting.
suddenly--
A group of guards were walking over from not far away. When the captain of the guards passed by, he accidentally bumped into Jian Yue. Before Jian Yue could say anything, the captain of the guards stuffed a note into his palm.
Jian Yue froze for a moment, and moved away from the crowd. He opened the note and read: "His Highness wants to see you at midnight tonight on the mountainside."
“…”
Depend on! ! !
