Chapter 185 As long as I am in power, you, Lin Qingyue, will be able to walk all over Qi State!
Yan Qiu'er knew she couldn't get away with this burden, so she threw down a bottle of medicine powder and said, "The Xuanjing Division is now completely controlled by Lin Qingyue. They suddenly came to trouble me, perhaps because of you!"
"Looks like we need to bring our plan forward! Take this medicine bottle. Just a little bit of it will make the evil spirit that has taken over my body unconscious. Then, use the bloodletting method I taught you earlier to force her to reveal herself!"
"For safety reasons, you can't show up directly. So you must first go to King Jin and find a way to make him trust you and be willing to join forces with you to deal with Lin Qingyue!"
The next scene that appears is the night before, when Lin Ruzhen and Dongfang Yan met. Lin Ruzhen used sweet words to persuade Dongfang Yan, and they planned to plot against Lin Qingyue together.
The scene ends here. There is no value in keeping Lin Ruzhen, so Lin Qingyue pulls out the soft sword under the umbrella handle and cuts her throat with one blow.
The thing in her stomach sensed danger and twisted and expanded wildly in Lin Ruzhen's stomach. As its belly continued to expand, it became as thin as a cicada's wing, and a worm as thick as an arm could be vaguely seen lurking inside.
Dongfang Qi was quick to draw a blood-red talisman in the air and shouted, "Seal!"
The blood-colored talisman instantly sank into the swollen belly, deflated little by little, and returned to the size of a normal pregnant belly.
The corpse silkworm inside fell into a deep sleep after being sealed and did not move much.
Lin Qingyue couldn't help but praise him, "You're using this technique of creating talismans out of thin air very well. I think I only taught you once."
Creating talismans out of thin air is a more advanced form of talisman magic.
Using one's own spiritual power as brush and ink, and the void as paper, one can draw and create talismans. This method is more convenient and more powerful.
But it requires great talent and spiritual power to apply it at will.
Lin Qingyue just demonstrated it casually once at that time, so it couldn’t really be considered as teaching.
She had originally planned to teach him the technique of creating hand gestures in the air after he had mastered the basic talisman techniques, but she hadn't expected him to master it after just one look.
Little did they know that Dongfang Qi had only used this move in a desperate situation.
After using it, I was a little surprised: "It turns out that I am a genius in the art of talismans."
Lin Qingyue snorted coldly, expressing her disdain. She then asked Dongfang Qi, "You killed Dongfang Yan. What are you going to do next? He has many followers in the court and the support of several major families. If we don't handle it well, I'm afraid it won't end well. How about..."
She paused, her tone suddenly becoming cold: "...Why not take this opportunity to eliminate them all at once?"
Dongfang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "That's too much of a fuss. To avoid a bloodbath, we can only frame someone and let Lin Ruzhen take the blame for Dongfang Yan's murder."
Lin Qingyue said, "That's one way. However, those nobles might not believe it completely. The best way is to eliminate the root of the problem."
Dongfang Qi said, "I will handle this matter. I will definitely not show mercy when necessary."
Most importantly, he didn't want Lin Qingyue to get involved in the factional struggle. Even more so, he didn't want her to become a knife that only knew how to kill.
So no matter how difficult the situation is to deal with, Dongfang Qi will face it himself.
Lin Qingyue knew he could handle it, but she couldn't help but say, "If you need anything, you can always come to me."
Dongfang Qi looked up and asked, "Are you worried about me?"
Lin Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Of course, after all, you and I have friends. And now, everyone knows that I, Prince Chaolan, am a member of the Prince's faction. If you fall, who will support me?"
Although she said it in a joking tone and deliberately emphasized the word "friend", Dongfang Qi couldn't help but feel happy.
——She still considers me a friend, which at least means that I have some status in her heart.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm in power, you, Lin Qingyue, will be able to walk all over Qi!"
Lin Qingyue took it as a joke and said with a smile, "For now, let's deal with the corpse silkworm case first."
Dongfang Qi nodded, then turned and opened the hall door, instructing the people outside, "An evil spirit has taken possession of Prince Jin's concubine, intending to harm Prince Jin and Prince Chaolan. Prince Jin has unfortunately passed away..."
He sighed softly, a look of sadness that was hard to tell whether real or fake appeared on his face. "This matter is of great importance. The news is temporarily blocked and not allowed to be spread outside."
Lin Qingyue, acting as the Deputy Envoy of the Xuanjing Division, instructed his subordinates, "Lin Ruzhen is dead. She was parasitized by the mother of the Flying Corpse Silkworm. The mother's greatest danger is that after parasitizing the host, it consumes the host's internal organs alive and then lays its eggs in the host's abdomen. After the host dies, the daughters hatch and grow by feeding on the host's decaying flesh."
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, take Lin Ruzhen's body back to Xuanjingsi. The corpse silkworm in her stomach is still alive, but it has been sealed and has lost its vitality."
Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi took a look and felt their scalps tingle:
"Deputy Envoy Lin, since you're certain it's a corpse silkworm, why not just burn the body and the worms? Why bother bringing it back?"
"Yeah, what if that thing comes out and harms people?"
Lin Qingyue said, "No, this kind of sealing technique is still a death seal. It only keeps a breath of life alive for the time being. It has no ability to hurt anyone else."
The reason why Dongfang Qi used the Death Seal but did not kill the corpse silkworm directly was to leave evidence to prove that Lin Ruzhen was indeed parasitized, so that he could put the blame on her in a fair and just manner.
After all, Dongfang Yan was the King of Jin, and he needed an explanation after his death.
Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi felt relieved after hearing this. They suppressed their nausea and carried Lin Ruzhen's body away.
Dongfang Yan's body was collected by the prince's men and would be given a grand funeral later.
As they walked out of the gate of the villa, Xie Shouzheng rushed over hurriedly, shouting as he ran: "Your Highness, Your Highness! Hey, Deputy Envoy Lin, are you safe? I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay!"
Dongfang Qi asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
Xie Shouzheng said: "We've discovered Yan Qiu'er's whereabouts!"
Lin Qingyue hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"
