Chapter 706 Bai Qianqian, the Mermaid

Xiang Tian had already been moved to a couch behind the screen in the outer hall when Hua Yan came over, so when Hua Yan came in, she didn't see anyone at first, but was instantly attracted by the letter on the table.

When Si Linglong heard Hua Yan's words, her heart skipped a beat.

"Isn't that a curse on this letter?"

Hua Yan obviously understood why the queen asked her to come over, and hurriedly explained in a low voice, "The source of the curse is resentment, which people on the shore like to call foul air. My brothers all say that those who are contaminated with resentment are bad mermaids."

As for what people on the shore say, those who are contaminated by foul air are ferocious beasts.

For example, a notoriously ferocious beast like the Qiongqi is said to be surrounded by foul aura all year round. Ordinary beasts would turn around and run away if they could even sense its aura from a distance, let alone approach it.

Of course, Hua Yan only heard about it.

"Although resentment and foul air are the same thing, I am a mermaid myself, so I can still distinguish some of them by their aura. However, there are many kinds of curses, and I can't say for sure how they will affect people in the end."

Hua Yan felt a little ashamed when she said the latter part.

After all, although the resentful power of this curse came from her own kind, because she had always been a good and obedient mermaid, she didn't know much about the curses used by bad mermaids.

Fearing that the queen would think she was useless, she quickly added, "But I have thirty-seven brothers, and they know more than me. If we can contact them, we can definitely confirm what kind of curse is on the letter."

But the prerequisite is that you have to get in touch first.

Si Linglong patted Hua Yan's head to comfort her.

"It's enough to know that it was a curse cast by the mermaids."

Because Xue Sha appeared in time, Helian Yue was not touched by the curse itself, so what kind of curse it was seemed less important.

Instead, the resentful power of the curse determined that the curser was a mermaid.

This is a very important clue.

So here comes the problem.

Was the curse on the letter cast by Bai Qianqian herself, or was it cast by someone close to her?

[If it was someone else, then it means that Bai Qianqian also has a person similar to Hua Yan by her side.]

[If it weren’t for…]

"Bai Qianqian should be the mermaid who cast the curse." Helian Yue simply interrupted Si Linglong to come to such a conclusion, which surprised everyone in the room.

Xue Sha was the first to jump out, "I've smelled her, she's not a mermaid."

朏朏 had also looked at Concubine Lian from a distance before, and now she also nodded, showing her rare agreement.

Concubine Lian should be an individual.

Helian Yue simply told about the strange things that happened after Bai Qianqian came back to life on the morning of New Year's Day.

As for the matter of reading minds, he did not intend to let anyone except Linglong know about it, even if Xue killed these exotic beasts.

But according to the rules he had summarized, he really couldn't hear the heartbeats of monsters like Xue Sha and Xing Xing, so he was sure that Bai Qianqian had changed after the first day of the new year.

Although he didn't know under what circumstances a person would undergo such a change, as long as the result was certain, the process was not important.

As for how to deal with it after the result is determined, that is a matter for later.

Although Si Linglong was a little puzzled as to why Ah Yue was so sure that Bai Qianqian was the mermaid, she believed that Ah Yue was not the kind of person who would make random comments, so she said,

"If we want to confirm whether Princess Lian is a real mermaid, we should let Hua Yan come into contact with her in person once, right?"

The reason why Hua Yan was sent instead of Xue Sha or Xiao Xiao was because Hua Yan, as a member of the same clan, should be able to see through Bai Qianqian even if there was something covering her.

After all, it shouldn't be possible for a person to suddenly change from a human to a mermaid.

Even though Huayan, the companion mermaid, also has human appearance, her true nature was still detected as soon as they met.

Si Linglong was more inclined towards Bai Qianqian using other methods.

Although Helian Yue already had the answer in his heart, he also hoped for direct confirmation.

As for the flower color.

Maybe because she had not performed well enough just now, she was so happy to hear that Linglong could still use her that she immediately agreed.

"I can!"

He looked like he was afraid that if he hesitated for even a second, the job would be snatched away.
