Always silent
Although Qin Shu's attitude was extremely evil, Ren Xuan still stood guard outside Lu Xiyun's room for half a day like a dog.
From the crowing of the cock in the early morning to noon, Qin Shu really only gave orders for medicine and formation masters, and did not do anything extraordinary.
General Ren reflected on this for a moment.
He is looking at Qin Shu in this life through the filter of his previous life. Isn't he a little biased?
Ren Xuan quickly shook his head again.
His PTSD is caused by the fact that the dog emperor in his previous life was too anthropomorphic. Instead of blaming himself, he might as well scold the emperor.
It's past noon.
Ren Xuan sat leaning against the eaves for half a day, his whole body almost cooked by the sun. His head was also dizzy from the sun. Sometimes he thought Qin Shu was not bad, but sometimes he remembered the face of the dog emperor in his previous life who was smiling but hiding a knife. He wanted to just bury this person in the ground.
He was feeling extremely anxious and was about to reflect on himself when he heard a loud noise at the door.
“Get out of the way!”
Fang Che rushed into the yard with great momentum, raised his hand and pushed, directly shocking the guards guarding the gate back repeatedly.
Ren Xuan didn't react to what was happening for a moment and was unable to stop him. He saw Prince Fang push open the door and rush into the house with a fierce look on his face.
The two people in the room were both stunned. Qin Shu, still holding a military report at the desk, looked up at the young prince with a puzzled expression, "Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"
Fang Che stared at him angrily, but did not answer.
The room was silent for a moment.
In the corner of the room, Prince Lu, who was drinking tea and eating cakes, thought for a moment and put down the book in his hand: "How about you guys chat——"
Before he could finish his words, Fang Che took three or two steps forward and grabbed his wrist.
The next moment, white flames began to burn on Fang Che's body, climbing up Fang Che's arm, inch by inch, to Lu Xiyun's wrist.
The red mark on Lu Xiyun's wrist, which was originally as winding as a silk thread, began to fade and dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Xiyun was shocked: "What are you doing?!"
Just as he finished speaking, another pair of footsteps came running outside the door. Fang Ci was panting and his face turned pale: "A Che, don't be impulsive! That's life essence, you can't burn it!"
Fang Che gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and said angrily: "If we don't burn it, will we let that bastard Xiao Jingxiu target us?!"
Lu Xiyun reacted, and the young man looked at Qin Shu in disbelief.
Qin Shu was completely stunned. His keen political sense told His Royal Highness Prince Xiang that some huge pot had hit him on the head.
Qin Shu blurted out, his tone quick and urgent: "I don't know about this matter——"
He spoke so quickly and sharply that he interrupted almost everyone.
But Lu Xiyun obviously didn't have time to listen to his explanation. The young man tried to break free from Fang Che's hand, but the fireworks seemed to have a spirit and he couldn't get rid of it.
Lu Xiyun gritted his teeth, his eyes darkened, and he raised the Book of Sutras in his hand and slammed it towards Fang Che's chest.
Fang Che flew backwards and hit the wall near the south gate. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and coughed up blood.
The white flame finally went out with a puff when Fang Che's Qi Yuan was interrupted.
The next moment, the blood lines on Lu Xiyun's wrist, which had been purified, seemed to break free from some restraints. A red light flashed, and it spread wildly upwards like wildly growing vines.
In an instant, the red line had climbed up to the elbow and was even approaching the shoulder and neck.
"Xiyun!"
Qin Shu felt his heart pounding and was about to step forward.
Ren Xuan stopped him: "Your Highness is in danger!"
It can be seen that Lu Xiyun is trying his best to suppress it, but the evil spirit is still spreading rapidly, and there is a faint red in the young man's eyes.
"Lu Xiyun!" Fang Ci stepped forward quickly and shouted sternly, "Qi Zuo, gather Qi in Dantian for three breaths, separate the three Qi, and reverse the five meridians. The last move of "Burning Life Sealing Heaven" is not in the book. Mobilize the Qi in your body and burn these!"
Lu Xiyun tried his best to do as he was told. The cyclone condensed and the flames rose again. This time, it was not white flames, but a mixture of red-gold and silver-blue flames.
The blood line that was coiled like a poisonous snake was suppressed by the fireworks and retreated inch by inch.
The blood line that was wrapped around the side of the neck burned for half an incense stick of time before finally stopping at the arm.
Lu Xiyun had obviously reached his limit.
As soon as the blood line retreated into a controllable range, he abruptly withdrew his attack.
The young man gasped violently, as if he couldn't even breathe air smoothly. His body swayed, and he finally couldn't hold on, stumbling to his knees.
Qin Shu hugged the person.
The young man was covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water. He looked listless, as if he had difficulty even raising his eyes.
He leaned in Qin Shu's arms, as if he wanted to close his eyes urgently, but was still holding on because he was unfamiliar with the technique: "Qin Shu... tired..."
Qin Shu's expression froze, and he didn't dare to respond casually. He suddenly looked at Fang Ci.
Fang Ci was startled by the hostility in the other person's eyes. She swallowed her saliva and said, "It's normal to lose your energy. You can rest."
Before she finished her words, Lu Xiyun fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Shu looked down at the young man in his arms, picked him up and placed him on the couch.
Ren Xuan stood by and saw that when the Dog Emperor came out again, the air pressure on his body was not right.
Ren Xuan couldn't help feeling sad, Xiao Jingxiu, you are such a talented person.
Look at the evil you've done! If the emperor turns evil again in this life, you'll be the one to blame!
Qin Shu clearly wanted to deal with him: "Capture Fang Che."
The two of them rushed forward as ordered. Fang Ci blocked his brother with his body, his eyes full of anger: "It was you who sent Xiao Jingxiu first and threatened A Che with Jing Yuan! Otherwise, my A Che would go crazy and risk his life to help Lu Xiyun exorcise the evil spirit!!"
Fang Ci suppressed his anger and told the whole story in one breath.
Seeing this, Ren Xuan simply added a few more details.
Qin Shu was rarely patient and listened to everything they said.
After listening to it, he didn't even vent his anger on me. He said coldly: "Let Xiao Jingxiu come to see me."
On the other hand, it was Lu Xiyun who risked his life so that Fang Che wouldn't have to risk his own, so Fang Ci still felt a little guilty about it.
Finally, her tone softened a little: "The Blazing Life Sealing Heaven has its own backlash. Especially for bloodlines outside the other party's family, it is even more serious. Go to the palace, I will treat him."
Ren Xuan saw Qin Shu hesitate. Under normal circumstances, Qin Shu, who was always wary of the Fang family, would never respond so easily.
But now, in response to Fang Ci's understanding of the Fang family's forbidden techniques, Qin Shu nodded: "Thank you."
Ren Xuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the emperor was too flexible.
···
Princess Fang is decisive and never drags her feet.
With just one sentence, "Go to the palace to recuperate", she really cleaned up a quiet inner courtyard in the palace in half an hour.
Fang Che was called out by her: "You stay with him."
The little prince almost exploded: "Me?!"
Fang Ci patted his brother's shoulder and said confidently, "You started the fire. If you don't take responsibility, can you still be considered a human being?"
Fang Che was so angry that he wanted to tear the roof off his head, but in the end, he just stayed by the bed with a frustrated look on his face, even pouring the tea himself. But the person on the couch slept soundly without a word, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
After guarding for three full hours, Fang Che finally confirmed that the guy was fine. He gritted his teeth and said "goodbye", then left with a flick of his sleeves, as if he would die of anger on the spot if he stayed any longer.
After seeing Fang Che off, the yard finally became quiet.
Only Qin Shu and Ren Xuan were left in the room.
Ren Xuan leaned against the window, seemingly chatting casually, "Your Highness, has the Crown Prince ever practiced the Southern Palace techniques?"
Just now, Fang Ci said something and Lu Xiyun was able to follow up immediately. This cannot be explained by natural talent.
Qin Shu didn't deny it. "I exchanged it with Fang Ci for the Book of State Protection. Of the three palace techniques, only the Southern Palace technique has negative effects, but it's also the only one that can leap a realm level in a short period of time. Xiyun wanted to see it, and I thought, in case it could save his life at a critical moment, I helped him get it."
Ren Xuan was lost in thought. He recalled the day Lu Xiyun had saved him and slain a third-rank evil soldier with a single blow. At the time, he had thought it was a forbidden technique, but now it seemed it might be a Nan Mansion technique.
After a while, Qin Shu said in a muffled voice: "Xiyun may have suspected that I instructed Xiao Jingxiu to do it."
Ren Xuan let out an "Ah," his expression intriguing. Tsk, no wonder Qin Shu had been so polite just now; it seemed the Emperor was only thinking about how to distance himself from the matter.
Qin Shu hesitated and said, "Ren Xuan, you say it. I say this matter has nothing to do with me. Can Xiyun believe it?"
Ren Xuan paused, covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "The main thing is, there are too many things you didn't know before..."
He said it politely: "The wolf has come more than once or twice."
Qin Shu was annoyed for a moment: "Xiao Jingxiu, that bastard."
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. It was as if someone was pressing down on his head with a pot lid.
He raised his eyes and stared at Ren Xuan: "What should we do then?"
Ren Xuan had been waiting for him to say this.
Ren Xuan put his hands behind his back and paced a few steps, acting like a dog-headed military advisor. "Your Highness, if you force an explanation now, it will only make you look guilty—the more you explain, the worse it gets."
Ren Xuan: "We have to learn to take the initiative!"
Qin Shu raised his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ren Xuan turned slowly, his expression shrouded in secrecy: "Isn't it excessive for the prince to secretly travel south to Southern Xinjiang without telling you?"
"The prince was infected with the evil weapon, but he kept it a secret from you. Isn't that too much?"
"The prince ignored his own evil influence and forcibly used his internal energy to repel Fang Che, nearly getting himself involved. Isn't that too much?!"
Ren Xuan's tone was up and down, and his emotions were just right. It was clear that he wanted to list the evidence that "the advantage lies with me" one by one.
He spread his hands and concluded with great authority: "Your Highness, you are the one who should be angry!"
Qin Shuben was still a little uncertain, and was slightly stunned by his outburst.
Qin Shu came to his senses a little, narrowed his eyes and said faintly: "What you said... makes a lot of sense."
Ren Xuan nodded in satisfaction: "Your Highness, you must not let him go so easily this time!"
Qin Shu waved his hand to interrupt him: "No need to say more, I know what to do."
Ren Xuan gave Qin Shu an encouraging look that said, "Brother, don't be a coward, be tough with him!"
Qin Shu nodded faintly.
His Royal Highness Prince Xiang was full of aura and walked in with great momentum, lifting the curtain.
As a result, as soon as I stepped into the room, I met the aggrieved and confused gaze of the young man on the couch.
The young man spoke in a low voice, feeling like he was about to cry: "Qin Shu..."
Prince Xiang, who came to demand an explanation, was defeated in a second.
He paused for half a second, then rushed forward and sat down beside the bed, patiently coaxing her: "What's wrong?"
The young man threw himself into his arms: "Fang Che just said...burning your life essence once will shorten your life span by many years..."
Lu Xiyun felt terrible: "I should have known not to learn the Nan Mansion's skills..."
The more he spoke, the more pessimistic he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it: "If I die...what will happen to my father..."
Qin Shu rushed over to comfort him, "Don't overthink it. Fang Che was just talking nonsense. I've read 'Blazing Life Seal Heaven' too, and you've only read five chapters. How can you burn your life essence? Fang Che is furious today. He was upset just now, so he's looking for trouble with you."
Lu Xiyun was skeptical: "Really?"
Qin Shu gritted his teeth: "I'll call him back!"
After saying that, he stood up quickly, walked out of the room quickly, and raised his hand: "Ren Xuan! Go call Fang Che back to me!"
Ren Xuan, who was standing beside him, was speechless. "Your Highness, you..."
Qin Shu paused for a moment, then realized what was happening. He was speechless. "But he kept throwing himself into my arms, so of course I had to coax him. How could I possibly be mean to him?"
Ren Xuan said quietly: "Your Highness, haven't you noticed that every time the prince shows weakness, your brain is like a brand new one."
——It’s completely useless.
Qin Shu coughed dryly, feeling somewhat guilty, and began to make amends: "This time the circumstances are special... Next time, I will not tolerate it."
As for this time... After His Royal Highness Prince Xiang finished speaking, he lifted his skirt and hurried back to the house.
Ren Xuan: “…”
If you keep silent all the time, you will regret it sooner or later!
Your Highness, please get hard!
