It was the first time that Dongfang Ninghe saw a woman so disregarding her image, and in front of so many people.
But this breath is really unpleasant, and he deeply agrees with it.
As the Emperor of Man, he not only has to deal with government affairs, but also has to deal with various matters with the demon and immortal worlds. He is really too busy to keep up.
By his generation, the royal bloodline had been passed down for a thousand years, and he was already the twentieth generation.
Everyone had lived in peace for the past thousand years, but in the past hundred years, incidents of strange deaths had been increasing, forcing him to be on high alert.
There were three bodies neatly placed in the morgue. After Su Jiaojiao vomited, she held her breath and went forward to check.
She found that these three were young and beautiful women, but they were not dressed very well, their clothes were full of patches, and their skin was not particularly well maintained.
There was a big hole in their hearts, and the blood that gushed out had now turned into a dried dark red color, which was enough to show that this was their fatal injury.
Dongfang Ninghe's eyes lit up when he saw Su Jiaojiao's face.
It’s not that he likes beautiful women, but he has seen Su Jiaojiao’s portrait in the emperor’s study.
He was only ten years old when he first saw the portrait.
However, the portrait had turned slightly yellow, and the edges were even a little curled.
There were dots of red plum blossoms, and a girl in white was lying under a tree holding a book. His mind was immediately attracted by the girl in the painting.
He once asked the emperor why such a beautiful woman was not taken into the harem.
At that time, the emperor just smiled and said nothing, saying that he would understand when he grew up.
The moment he saw Su Jiaojiao, he understood what the emperor said.
Why not take her as your concubine?
Because she is a demon.
Humans and demons have different paths, and a human's life is like a blink of an eye for a demon.
"Why did they die so tragically?" Su Jiaojiao's voice brought Dongfang Ninghe back to his senses.
Now is not the time to think about those romantic things.
Dongfang Ninghe put those messy thoughts behind him and thought about the case seriously.
When the first victim was discovered three months ago, everyone thought that a ruthless killer had appeared.
He specifically targets young women walking alone at night.
The authorities arrested a butcher and seized various tools used in crimes from his home.
But on the second night after he was put in jail, another murder occurred.
The government had no choice but to release the butcher.
Six people have died so far.
The people in the capital were in a panic. Every household stayed indoors at night, and the whole capital suddenly became very depressed.
"It's the work of a demon. I can't think of anything else. So I had no choice but to issue an imperial decree this time." Dongfang Ninghe hasn't slept well for several nights because of this case.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the tragic scenes of the dead, and his conscience was uneasy.
The Human Emperor holds a secret magic weapon in his hands that can summon both the demon and immortal realms, but it becomes less and less with each use.
Ye Jiuli moved closer. He did not sense any demonic aura on the three corpses, so he did not think that it was done by the demons.
"You don't believe it?" Dongfang Ninghe frowned slightly.
"If it was done by the demon clan, I would definitely be able to detect demonic energy on him, but I don't have any now." Ye Jiuli didn't want to say much.
Someone has framed the demon clan. As the Demon King, he will not let the mastermind off easily!
Dongfang Ninghe is a mortal after all, and his body is almost reaching its limit after staying up all night.
Seeing that his eyelids were about to droop, Su Jiaojiao quickly urged him to go and rest.
Dongfang Ninghe seemed to see the woman in the painting walking towards him, leaving the drawing paper, bringing with her a sweet fragrance that made him intoxicated.
Ye Jiuli raised his hand, and a black-purple light sank into Dongfang Ninghe's head, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have just entered a dreamlike state.
When he opened his eyes again and met Ye Jiuli's cold eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, please go back and rest. We'll talk tomorrow." Ye Jiuli said lightly, his narrow eyes emitting endless coldness.
Dongfang Ninghe nodded, glanced at Su Jiaojiao, and returned to the palace with the guards.
Now that there was no one in his way, Ye Jiuli turned around and left this messy place.
Su Jiaojiao took a step behind and extinguished the candle before following.
"Why did you follow me?" Ye Jiuli hated the fox in front of him. They had only met for one night.
"As your majesty's concubine, of course I have to serve your majesty at all times." Su Jiaojiao said as a matter of course.
Ye Jiuli glanced at her, his lips slightly drooping, he was a little impatient.
When Dongfang Ninghe finished washing up and was about to go to bed, he caught a glimpse of the scroll hanging on the wall.
There are dots of red plum blossoms, and a young girl is sleeping soundly under the plum tree, with a scroll blown by the wind at her side.
It is different from Dongfang Xuchong's painting.
"Grandfather Emperor, today I finally saw the girl in your painting. She looks exactly like the one you described fifty years ago."
"I have imagined her voice countless times, but when I heard it just now, I realized that it was unlike any other voice in the world."
"Grandpa Emperor, tell me, if she knew my feelings, would she be angry?"
Dongfang Xuchong has been dead for ten years, so naturally he cannot answer his questions.
Dongfang Ninghe would often stare at the portrait alone before falling asleep. This was a secret known only to his personal eunuch, Eunuch Yu.
No concubine was allowed to enter his bedroom. Su Jiaojiao was unaware of Dongfang Ninghe's fatal unrequited love; she was currently rolling around happily on her bed. Ye Jiuli despised her behavior and disliked her as a person.
Su Jiaojiao naturally had to seize such a good opportunity to be alone.
"Your Majesty, let me serve you for a while." Su Jiaojiao took off her outer shirt and wore only a translucent white gauze skirt.
She spoke as she walked, her voice full of charm.
Ye Jiuli frowned, "Get out!"
With a low growl, Su Jiaojiao froze in place. Her charm failed again!
"I, I am confident that I can get pregnant within a month, as long as you..." She was too embarrassed to say the rest, so Su Jiaojiao met his terrifying gaze and swallowed subconsciously.
Ye Jiuli sneered when he heard her speak so arrogantly.
"A few days ago, I was poisoned by the love flower and was taken away by a woman. If I find that woman, I will..." Ye Jiuli looked at her with narrowed eyes, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"It will...it will happen like this?" Su Jiaojiao froze and looked away.
Such a man is too dangerous!
But she is that woman!
"I will tear her into pieces, take the demon pill and devour her soul!" Ye Jiuli keenly noticed that Su Jiaojiao was trembling slightly.
What is she afraid of?
