Chapter 57
But both Wang Sheng and Yin Jianyue miscalculated one thing, that is, Chen Kanglian had been with Zhao Fangru back then.
Seeing Chen Kanglian still struggling to get up, Xia Yue mocked him, "You can still stand up, right? I thought you were already disabled."
Chen Kanglian glanced at Xia Yue deeply, a look that showed a sense of anticipation and the surprise of having discovered a great secret. Chen Kanglian ignored Xia Yue, walked straight past him, and appeared in the main hall.
"My Lady, I'm back. People from Yuntai Mountain intervened, and the man wasn't killed." His face twitched, and he couldn't help laughing. "But I discovered something."
Zhao Fangru glanced at him, and Chen Kanglian said, "You previously suspected that the eldest princess's son Yin Nanxing was not dead. This may be true. Moreover, he has returned to the capital and is still in this palace."
.
Wang Sheng left a step early and did not hear what Chen Kanglian said.
When he returned to the East Palace, Yin Jianyue came up to him and asked, "Cousin, are you okay?"
Wang Sheng shook his head. "I'm fine. Shi Ye saved me."
Yin Jianyue's expression was a little distorted. When? When did that guy appear? He glanced sideways at Han Tan, who also looked confused.
"Yin Jianyue, I just heard your conversation in Changqiu Palace. Don't say anything yet. Listen to me first. Do you know how many evil spirits Chen Kanglian still has under his command?"
Yin Jianyue thought for a moment, then shook her head. Chen Kanglian had never fought against them, so she naturally didn't know how many evil spirits he still had. However, Han Tan, standing by, said, "It's definitely not a small number. I've heard Your Highness mention their activities recently, and I've been looking into them. Chen Kanglian and his men have been collecting evil spirits for the Empress and sending them to the Northern Territory for years, so they must have found many of them themselves."
"Cousin, what do you want to do by asking these questions?"
Wang Sheng's expression was stern. He wondered if it was Chen Kanglian or Zhao Fangru who had caused the destruction of his family. If it was Chen Kanglian, then at least now that he knew, he would definitely be able to defeat him. If it was Zhao Fangru, then everything was still unknown.
"It's okay, I'll ask."
Yin Jianyue said, "Cousin, I need to go to Gancheng Palace. Since she has admitted that she was the one who killed the eldest princess, I need to let the emperor know about this. I will send troops to guard Changqiu Palace."
Wang Sheng thought about it and decided that there shouldn't be any problem. "Okay."
"I'll send a few more ghost riders over. Even though they're not as good as Chen Kanglian and the others, or even Han Tan, they're better than nothing."
Han Tan: ...
.
It is unknown what Yin Jianyue said to the emperor, but there was chaos outside the East Palace, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard. Zhao Hongde also rushed over with an old eunuch, who was a capable eunuch beside the emperor. He wanted Wang Sheng to go to Gancheng Palace, as the emperor wanted to meet Wang Sheng.
The emperor shed tears when he saw Wang Sheng, saying that they looked so much like each other. He held Wang Sheng and talked to him for a long time. Wang Sheng had no feelings for the emperor, so he accepted the imperial edict conferring him the title of Marquis of Ping'an and returned.
It was dark outside. Wang Sheng put the imperial edict aside, lay on the bed, and thought about Shi Ye.
I don't know how Shiye managed to send Liang Ruoyan and Bai Tongnu here during the day. Has he finished his work? Is everything going well?
Wang Sheng, who had long been accustomed to being with Shi Ye, had only returned to Beijing for his second day today. With so many things happening, the first thing he did when he had some time to rest was to think about Shi Ye.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his right arm.
Wang Sheng reached out his hand suspiciously and rolled down his sleeve, thinking it was an undiscovered injury. His hand had been aching ever since he met Chen Kanglian. Then he saw the word "time" light up on his hand. He sat up suddenly, his left hand clutching his right, staring at it.
What is this thing? When has he ever had something like this in his hands?
The color of this word is now getting brighter and hotter.
When he heard the word "time", he suddenly thought of "time".
Before, when he was in the ghost realm of Paper Bride Chen Li, Shi had told him something. He had cast a spell on himself called the Heart Curse, so that if anything happened to Wang Sheng, he would know.
Wang Sheng slowly frowned.
Shi Ye had never been in any danger, always saving himself. This had caused Wang Sheng to overlook one thing: the name of the Tong Xin spell. Tong Xin Tong Xin, meaning that both people could sense each other. If Wang Sheng could sense danger, then Shi Ye was in danger too!
Wang Sheng couldn't imagine what could be causing Shi Ye's danger, and he didn't dare to think about it. He got out of bed, stood up, and began to panic.
Wang Sheng momentarily forgot his purpose in returning to Beijing. He only wanted to rush out to Yuntai Mountain. He would not be able to rest assured until he saw with his own eyes that everything was fine. But before he could open the door, black smoke billowed from under his feet.
With Wang Sheng as the center, the black smoke expanded outward to an area that could accommodate three people, and then a figure gradually formed.
Wang Sheng quickly took out a talisman from his sleeve and stepped back step by step until he was out of the range of the black smoke. He watched with his own eyes as the figure absorbed all the black smoke and the human form was completely revealed.
It’s Xia Yue.
Wang Sheng put down the talisman and opened his eyes wide, "A Yue? You..."
After Xia Yue appeared, his first reaction when he saw Wang Sheng was to lower his head and avoid Wang Sheng's sight. But in fact, as long as he raised his head, he would know that Wang Sheng had never blamed him for anything and still looked at his only good friend in Zhang County as before.
Wang Sheng was also curious about Xia Yue's identity. In fact, he began to suspect that Xia Yue was hiding something from him in Zhong County, but out of respect for his friend, he did not investigate further. However, he did not expect that Xia Yue was also a ghost master.
Xia Yue dodged and said, "Xiaosheng, Chen Kanglian has discovered your identity. Something is wrong with the Queen. Now that the Crown Prince has sent people to surround Changqiu Palace, you should come with me."
Although Wang Sheng did not blame Xia Yue, he still took a step back and looked at Xia Yue cautiously, "But you are also the Queen's man. How do I know if you want to trick me out of the East Palace?"
Xia Yue opened his mouth, and a lot of bitterness surged in his heart.
This is not Wang Sheng's fault. It is his own fault. The fact that Wang Sheng can still talk to him so calmly is already the best outcome.
"Young man, if I wanted to lie to you, I would not come here to tell you the news now. Instead, I would wait until the matter in Changqiu Palace was over, and then come to you with the Queen." Xia Yue's eyes reflected Wang Sheng's current handsome appearance. Wang Sheng did not question him why he kept it from him. Correspondingly, Xia Yue was not angry at all because Wang Sheng had lied to him for so long.
"Xiaosheng, please believe me."
Wang Sheng looked at the hand Xia Yue extended to him, thought for a moment, and then looked at Xia Yue again, "Then answer my last question."
Xia Yue nodded and said, "You tell me, if I know something, I will never lie to you."
Wang Sheng: "Why did you come to me without telling Zhao Fangru and rescue me?"
Xia Yue was stunned. He thought Wang Sheng would ask about the Queen or the Northern Territory, but he didn't expect Wang Sheng to ask about the things between them.
"I..."
Wang Sheng stared at Xia Yue's expression. The question he asked Xia Yue seemed useless, but in fact he was testing Xia Yue for the last time. If Xia Yue's expression was not right, he would immediately summon Han Tan's evil spirit and would no longer cherish their old friendship.
Xia Yue clenched his hands and looked at him deeply, knowing that now was not the time to speak. He said, "We've been friends for many years, isn't that enough reason to come and save you?"
From the first time he saw Wang Sheng till now, they had known each other for nearly five years. Although Xia Yue spent less time at home because he had to go to the academy, he spent his free time with his family and Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng looked at him. He was still a little dazed because Xia Yue was full of the aura of a ghost master, but he still decided to trust Xia Yue once.
"What are you going to do? What am I going to do now?"
Xia Yue: "It's too late. Chen Kanglian is staring at me closely. He should have noticed that I'm gone by now. We have to leave here quickly."
He stepped forward and grabbed Wang Sheng's arm. Starting from where he grabbed it and moving upwards, Wang Sheng felt a force enveloping him. He guessed that this was Xia Yue's trick as a ghost master, so he did not push him away.
They had just walked out of the back door of the East Palace. Xia Yue pulled Wang Sheng straight behind him to block the way and looked at the people coming from the front with vigilance.
Chen Kanglian had always been wary of Xia Yue. After he found out that Xia Yue was missing, he guessed that Xia Yue would come to look for his good friend.
He looked at Xia Yue holding Wang Sheng's hand, then smiled, "Xia Yue, I've known you for so long, how come I didn't know you were so protective of people you know? This is not like you." Chen Kanglian's eyes turned, seemingly looking at Wang Sheng, but actually still talking to Xia Yue,
"When it comes to catching those ghost riders, you're the fastest runner. Sometimes your methods make me feel inferior. Hey, what's his name, Wang Sheng, or Yin Nanxing? Do you know what happened to your good friend in the past? I'm afraid to work with him."
Wang Sheng felt his arm tighten, patted the back of Xia Yue's hand, stepped sideways and looked at Chen Kanglian and said, "Isn't this perfect? Even you are afraid of someone, now that we are together, won't we be even less afraid of you?"
Chen Kanglian licked his teeth and snorted coldly, "Then you guys try and see if you can escape from my hands?"
The ghost domain suddenly unfolded, and a strong wind swept through, blinding Wang Sheng and Xia Yue. Wang Sheng released a wind talisman, blowing the wind back in the opposite direction. Xia Yue pulled him, "Follow me!"
Xia Yue ran straight in one direction. Wang Sheng noticed that they had stepped directly out of Chen Kanglian's ghost domain. He was very shocked and said, "You can still enter and exit other people's ghost domains at will!"
Wang Sheng suddenly collapsed for no apparent reason.
Shi Ye said that there are more ghost catchers than ghost controllers in this world, and only a few can become ghost controllers. Then why is it that ever since he met Shi Ye, he has only seen ghost controllers!
Not to mention this, the people he met were more perverted than each other, not to mention the time, the strength of these people alone was enough to give Chen Kang a hard time. He thought that his eyes could defeat everyone in the world, and now here comes Xia Yue who can freely travel through other people's ghost realms. This ghost-controlling talent is worthless!
