Chapter 184 Even if you are really an evil ghost, you are an evil ghost with a heart of Buddha
Lin Qingyue asked him, "Since you already knew I wasn't the original Lin Qingyue, why didn't you ever ask me about my origins?"
Dongfang Qi asked back: "If I ask you, will you tell me?"
Lin Qingyue shook her head.
Dongfang Qi smiled faintly. "If that's the case, why should I ask any more questions? Everyone has secrets they don't want to share; it's human nature. I just need to make sure you're not a wicked person. That's all I need."
He thinks simply.
"But how can you be sure that I'm not a wicked person?"
Dongfang Qi tapped his eyes with his fingertips, then pressed his heart: "Based on what I saw with my own eyes, experienced with my own body, and felt in my heart."
"You saved me from danger, and later accompanied me on my journey north. You intervened wherever you saw injustice. You even risked your life to protect me in the Red Shadow Land. That's why I'm where I am today. Even if you truly are an evil ghost, you're one with a heart of Buddha. Why should I be afraid?"
"As for the Eastern Banquet..."
He glanced at the corpse on the ground calmly, "He's been my enemy time and time again, and I've long wanted to kill him, but I spared his life for the sake of old King Jin. Now that he knows your secret, to prevent future trouble, it's natural to eliminate him completely."
After all, not everyone understands Lin Qingyue as well as he does.
Now, just because of Lin Ruzhen's slanderous words, Dongfang Yan had evil intentions towards Lin Qingyue and dared to kidnap her in broad daylight.
If he is allowed to live this time, there is no guarantee that he will not spread obscene words everywhere, causing Lin Qingyue to fall into an irretrievable situation.
That's why Dongfang Qi killed the man without hesitation just now - seemingly impulsive, but actually well-considered.
Lin Qingyue was very satisfied with Dongfang Qi's answer. "Yes, I was right. Now, let's get down to business. Since Lin Ruzhen has a parasitic flying corpse silkworm in her abdomen, perhaps we can find the mastermind we're looking for from her memories."
"Okay, now it's up to you."
Dongfang Qi laughed secretly: She is still thinking about the job at Xuan Jingsi at this time. Even if she claims to be a bad person, who will believe her?
Lin Qingyue quickly formed seals with her fingers, and at the same time, she cast a talisman and shouted:
"Using blood as a guide, I trace back my dream!"
As Lin Qingyue recited the spell, a golden talisman light fell into Lin Ruzhen's sea of consciousness.
A curtain of light appeared above Lin Ruzhen, clearly reflecting everything she had experienced in the past two months.
In the dark of midnight, Lin Ruzhen, wearing a cloak, ran frantically on the streets of the capital.
That was two months ago. After she had the audacity to sleep with Dongfang Yan, she was afraid that Dongfang Yan would come after her, so she ran away overnight.
She didn't dare go back to the Lin family, otherwise she would definitely be found by Dongfang Yan.
A selfish and cold-hearted person like Lin Xiao would never offend King Jin for the sake of his adopted daughter.
So she quietly went to the homes of several famous ladies in the capital.
But in the past, those close friends who had a good relationship with her had already known her identity as a fake daughter and refused to even meet her.
Until later, she found the Feng family.
Feng Ying's concubine Yan Qiuer had had several relationships with Lin Ruzhen.
However, in the past, Lin Ruzhen was the daughter of a marquis and looked down on Yan Qiuer's identity.
It was only because Feng Ying was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and the Lin family needed this connection that Lin Ruzhen had no choice but to lower her status and deal with Yan Qiuer, but their relationship was not particularly good.
Coming to the Feng family was really a helpless act with nowhere else to go.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qiuer came out to pick her up in person and arranged for her to stay in the Feng family's side room.
When talking about the past, Lin Ruzhen told Yan Qiuer about the grievances and entanglements between her and Lin Qingyue without any hesitation.
Yan Qiu'er listened and suddenly said, "The Princess of Jin is really strange. It's like she has become a completely different person."
"A completely different person?" Lin Ruzhen suddenly realized, "Yes, that's right! It's like she's completely changed! Aside from her appearance, her words, actions, and temperament are all different from before. And those strange abilities she has, I don't know where they came from."
"Once, she simply tapped me on the shoulder, and she cast a strange spell on me. It gave me sores in my mouth, and now my voice is still hoarse and unpleasant, like a dying old woman!"
Yan Qiu'er pondered and said, "Based on your description, Lin Qingyue's situation looks very much like she's been possessed."
"Possession?"
"The so-called possession of a body refers to a person's body being taken over by someone else. I've heard that some people who practice evil arts, when their bodies age, take over the bodies of others to continue living. Or, a dead evil spirit, without a physical body, takes over the body of a living person to live a new life. This can cause their temperament to completely change!"
"So, Lin Qingyue was possessed by someone? The one who came after her was possessed by an evil spirit?"
After figuring this out, Lin Ruzhen was ecstatic: "If Prince Jin knew the truth, he would definitely not want her anymore. The position of princess is still mine! That's right, it was originally mine!"
She grabbed Yan Qiu'er's hand as if it were a lifeline: "How can I prove that she is an evil ghost who has taken over someone else's body? Qiu'er, you must help me! When I become the Princess of Jin, I will definitely repay you well!"
Yan Qiu'er glanced at her belly. "Prince Jin is still deceived, so this isn't the right time. It would be safer to wait until you're sure you're pregnant. By then, you'll have exposed Lin Qingyue's identity, performed a great service in front of Prince Jin, and you'll be pregnant with his child. He'll definitely treat you and your child well."
So, in the next few days, Lin Ruzhen checked her stomach several times a day.
She wanted to get pregnant, to take one last gamble, hoping that her bold action that night would result in Dongfang Yan's child, and that she would be honored as a mother because of the child.
In a hurry, she asked Yan Qiuer to ask a doctor to take her pulse every two days.
Unfortunately, the results are always not as expected.
Later, Yan Qiuer gave her a nourishing and fetal-consolidating pill.
Yan Qiu'er coaxed her, saying, "This is a folk secret recipe. After taking it, even if you don't get pregnant, it can retain the essence and energy from that time and solidify it into a fetus."
"Are you serious?" Lin Ruzhen stared at Yan Qiu'er's belly. "Hasn't it been over a year since you married into the Feng family? Why haven't you gotten pregnant yet? If you have something this good, can't you just eat it yourself?"
Yan Qiu'er sighed, "My luck isn't as good as yours. The Prince of Jin is young and strong, so the chances of him hitting the target with one strike are very high. Unlike the one in our family... who looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside, he's already useless. If I get pregnant, he'll think I'm cheating on him. So, I have no use for this nourishing and fetal-consolidating pill. I'm giving it to the future Princess of Jin. Don't forget me when she becomes powerful in the future."
Lin Ruzhen finally felt relieved and swallowed the pill in front of Yan Qiuer.
A few days later, the doctor came to take the patient's pulse again and found that she was pregnant.
But the strange thing was that not long after, she could feel something moving in her stomach.
Yan Qiuer said that this is called fetal movement, which means that the fetus is lively and naughty, and must be a boy.
Lin Ruzhen had no experience, so how could she know that fetal movement would only occur after four or five months of pregnancy?
She believed Yan Qiuer's words and dreamed every day of giving birth to a child and being welcomed back to the palace by Prince Jin, where she lived a life of luxury.
Two months passed like this, and Lin Ruzhen's belly became bigger and bigger.
That day, she was so bored staying at Feng's house that Yan Qiuer accompanied her out shopping.
When he came back, he found that people from Xuan Jingsi had rushed into Feng's house and were trying to capture Yan Qiuer.
Seeing that things were not going well, Yan Qiuer grabbed Lin Ruzhen and ran away.
Lin Ruzhen was pregnant and fell down after running for a while.
She asked Yan Qiu'er in confusion: "Why did the people from the Xuanjing Division arrest you? What did you do?"
