Chapter 139 I’m Just a Scapegoat
Jin Congcong looked aggrieved: "Don't you know why I sleep in the little ancestor's yard?"
"If I hadn't been so uneasy about you coming back so late, would I have been able to sleep here?"
Qian Luan was speechless: "What are you afraid of? I've already taken that female ghost away. Can she come back to find you?"
Jin Congcong sat up and hugged the quilt tightly: "You took this one, what about the others? What if the others come looking for me?"
"I sleep at Ruo'er's door so she can see me when she comes out. This way, if I have any more...those things on me, it will be easy for her to take them away."
"Hey, after talking for so long, have you figured out who it is that dislikes me and wants to harm me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Ruo came out and said, "Ah, Qian Luan is back. Did you find out anything?"
Qian Luan nodded. "My master took this matter very seriously and personally interrogated the female ghost. She confessed that a man had controlled her and made her possess Master Jin, and then looked for an opportunity to possess the princess or the prince to absorb your essence."
Jin Congcong jumped up and said, "It turned out that Ruo'er had offended someone, and I was just taking the blame."
After he finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and kept confessing in a low voice: "Dad, I didn't mean to scold you all night last night. Anyway, you didn't hear it, so let's forget about it. I wronged you."
Bu Ruo: ...
Qian Luan: ...
"By the way, Qian Luan, why did that man let the female ghost possess Ruo'er or the prince? Did he want the female ghost to become a spirit?"
Bu Ruo kicked the blanket he had spread on the ground aside and walked out: "I don't want the female ghost to become a spirit, I want the prince and I to die. People whose essence is sucked away will become weak and eventually die of illness."
"As for that man...it's not hard to guess. He must be someone who has the potential to take that position."
Qian Luan nodded: "Yes, my master looked at the ghost girl's memory and found out that the man was Prince Su."
Bu Ruo thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who Prince Su was. Finally, Bi'er said, "Princess, Prince Su is the current emperor's younger brother from the same father and mother. He is seven years younger than the emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne, he asked to go to his fiefdom and promised never to return to Kyoto."
"The Prince of Su might be afraid of the Emperor's suspicion. After all these years, he only has one princess consort and one daughter in public, but secretly he has many wives and concubines in a villa. He also has a son who he focuses on training and teaches him all the ways of being a king."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes. "Prince Su is so anxious to attack my Lord and me because he must have received the news. Tell Mo Bao to keep a close eye on him. If Prince Su makes a move, tell me immediately. Let them fight each other first. When they are covered with tooth marks, we will take revenge."
"But...I have to collect some interest first."
As soon as Bu Ruo finished speaking, several people saw a black flower flying out from her hand, slowly becoming transparent and finally disappearing.
"Ruo'er, what are the flowers for?"
"Well, it's for collecting interest. That flower can find the evil spirit on its own, and then go find King Su. The evil spirit is not comparable to an ordinary little ghost. I'll scare him half to death first!"
Xiao Yulan, standing at the door of the study, watched the flower, which was so transparent that it had almost no substance, fly away, with a smile on his face. As expected, he knew that Ruo'er was not the type to suffer any loss.
Seeing the flower disappear, Xiao Yulan stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and an illusory figure appeared in the yard.
"Go ahead! Anyone who wants to touch Ruo'er will be made to suffer a fate worse than death!"
The shadow flickered and disappeared into the yard.
Bu Ruo was teasing Jin Congcong and didn't notice, but Qian Luan felt something was different, but was smart enough not to say anything.
When he went back for the first time, his family had already told him not to worry about anything except the matter of this little ancestor, and to pretend not to see anything even if he saw it. As long as Bu Ru was not in any danger, it would be fine.
Jin Congcong stood there and looked at Bu Ruo pitifully: "Ruo'er, how about I move to your yard and live there? I will go back after Prince Su dies. If I want to go out in the future, I will let Qian Luan follow me to avoid causing trouble for you."
Bu Ruo waved her hand and said, "No need. Just go back to your own yard and live there. I'll give you something of mine later. Just carry it with you, and those cats and dogs won't dare to get on you."
When Jin Congcong heard that Bu Ruo was going to give him something, his eyes lit up. You know, all of Ruo'er's things are valuable, and once the things are in his hands, there is no reason for them to be taken back.
Seeing Jin Congcong's eyes light up, Bu Ruo said calmly: "Bi'er, I remember that I have a piece of clothing with a torn cuff?"
"It can't be worn anyway, so go cut the cuffs off and give them to our Little Divine Doctor Jin."
After saying this, he looked at the dumbfounded Jin Congcong and said, "Remember to put it in your purse and carry it with you. It has my scent on it, and no evil spirits dare to approach you. Unless, of course, you commit suicide by doing so."
"That's just to get rid of the evil spirits, not to give you an extra life to play with."
Jin Congcong almost cried when he saw the blue cuff the size of her palm that Bier handed to him.
"Ruo'er, you stole so much money from me, and you only gave me a piece of cloth? Isn't that a bit too stingy? I see that hairpin on your head is pretty good, why don't you give it to me..."
Bu Ruo touched the hairpin on her head and said with a smile: "How dare you, a fool, to ask for it. You are quite knowledgeable."
"You're the only one who's attracted to that tattered jade crown. I can buy ten of these hairpins! Give them to you? Dream on."
Jin Congcong carefully placed the blue cloth strip in his purse, turned around with a gloomy face and wanted to leave.
"return!"
Hearing Bu Ruo's cry, Jin Congcong turned around happily: "I knew Ruo'er was the best to me. We grew up together. It's too formal to talk about money."
Bu Ruo slapped Jin Congcong's outstretched hand back and said, "What are you thinking? Take your bedding roll from the ground and spread it at my door. How can I get in and out?"
Jin Congcong: ...
Jin Congcong rolled up his quilt and held it in his arms, crying as he walked: "Wuwu... I was wrong after all. I didn't expect you to be such a Ruoer."
"Remember to sweep the floor of the mansion when you get back. You didn't do it yesterday, so don't forget to do it again today."
Someone cried even louder...
…
A few days later, at the Yongning Palace
Bu Yanfu handed a bowl of medicine to Yongning King Xiao Haoyan's lips: "Your Highness, drink it. You will get better after drinking this bowl of medicine."
Xiao Haoyan had been feeling tired from deep thought these past few days. He hadn't even been able to get out of bed for nearly a month, and even the imperial physician he had invited couldn't find anything wrong with him.
"Drink this. This is a folk remedy I found specifically for you, Your Highness. Drink it for three to five days and I guarantee you'll get better."
Watching Xiao Haoyan drink the medicine in one gulp, Bu Yanfu smiled.
