Seeing her serious expression, Jiang Ruyi knew that she was doing this for Dongfang Ninghe's sake as well as for her own good, and she relaxed her guard against her a little.
"Then you shouldn't have entered my dream." Jiang Ruyi sat down awkwardly.
"There's nothing we can do about it. I didn't expect you and Ning He to be together so early, when you were fifteen?" Su Jiaojiao also sat down confidently.
"Well, I just married him that year. I like flying kites, so he took me to fly them. The peach blossoms were in full bloom." Jiang Ruyi's mouth curled up with a hint of sweetness.
"But later, I didn't expect to find your portrait in his bedroom." Jiang Ruyi's mouth was filled with bitterness again.
Su Jiaojiao was also silent, but soon she started laughing.
"The life of a mortal is too short in the eyes of us monsters." Su Jiaojiao ate another grape and fed one to Jiang Ruyi as well.
"I know Dongfang Xuchong and Dongfang Minghao." Dongfang Minghao is Dongfang Ninghe's father.
"We are often separated for a short time, and the next time we meet, we are already separated by life and death." There was a hint of regret in Su Jiaojiao's tone.
This is something everyone knows, but Dongfang Ninghe's ability to accept it seems to be a little worse than the previous two.
At least the feelings of the first two towards her only remained in the beautiful fantasies of their youth. How come when it came to Dongfang Ninghe, his feelings seemed to be a combination of the feelings of the first two?
Su Jiaojiao really couldn't understand it.
Jiang Ruyi thought that this was right. She was just a weak mortal and might die in another thirty or forty years.
But Su Jiaojiao will still look the same in thirty or forty years.
A sense of desolation arose in her heart.
"Then you also entered his dream?" Jiang Ruyi asked.
"Yeah. That monster broke into his heart. I'm afraid that my problem will sooner or later become his inner demon." Su Jiaojiao stopped chewing and slowly thought about the inner demon.
Every person, demon, and even immortal has inner demons. The former is at most a psychological illness, but if the latter two develop inner demons, it may bring about a devastating disaster.
The conversation between the two ended and the banquet ended.
But Dongfang Ninghe came alone.
"He left because he had something to deal with in the demon world. I came to tell you something." Dongfang Ninghe stood beside Jiang Ruyi, shielding her from the wind. "I thought you had returned to your bedroom a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be here. What were you two talking about?"
"Of course it's a topic between women." Jiang Ruyi raised her head and said, "It's late, go back and rest. Miss Su also needs to rest."
Dongfang Ninghe glanced at Su Jiaojiao and nodded at her.
Su Jiaojiao watched them leave, her gaze fixed on the calm lake.
Before, Ye Jiuli had hurried back to the demon world without even saying goodbye to her. It should be the same this time, right?
The next morning, it was not the sunlight that woke Su Jiaojiao up, but the noisy and chaotic footsteps of the palace maids and eunuchs outside.
Su Jiaojiao grabbed a palace maid and asked her what happened. The palace maid looked terrified.
"Empress Li, Empress Li is dead!" the palace maid said, she was so scared that she burst into tears.
Seeing her like this, Su Jiaojiao knew that she couldn't get anything out of her, so she came to Concubine Li's palace.
Her body was placed in the main hall, with the imperial physician and the coroner examining it.
And sitting on the chair next to him was Jiang Ruyi.
How come she is here?
Su Jiaojiao came up and took a look at Concubine Li. Seeing a pair of scissors stuck in her chest, she knew that it was a fatal wound.
But when she saw the bloodstains on Jiang Ruyi's cuffs, she was stunned.
Could it be that Concubine Li’s death is related to Jiang Ruyi?
Jiang Ruyi was still wearing a plain-colored middle-length shirt and trousers, with a coat draped over the outside. Apart from that, she didn't even comb her hair. It was obvious that she came out without anyone knowing.
"Your Highness?" Su Jiaojiao walked up to her.
When Jiang Ruyi saw that the person coming was Su Jiaojiao, a look of pain appeared on her face.
"I, I don't know why this happened. I didn't want to kill her!" Jiang Ru felt that Su Jiaojiao seemed to have found an outlet.
She poured out all the panic in her heart.
She slept with Dongfang Ninghe last night, but she didn't expect to find herself in Concubine Li's bedroom when she woke up in the morning.
And there was a pair of scissors stuck in Concubine Li's chest.
If the palace maid who came to help Concubine Li get up hadn't discovered it, she might not have woken up yet.
Everyone thought that Jiang Ruyi killed Concubine Li, even she herself thought so.
Because someone saw Concubine Li and Jiang Ruyi arguing in the aisle, and Concubine Li even pushed Jiang Ruyi.
Jiang Ruyi has a motive to kill.
Dongfang Ning talked to Ming about the situation and hurried over.
He didn't believe that the woman who slept next to him last night would run out and kill someone.
Jiang Ruyi looked at Dongfang Ninghe desperately and helplessly.
When she saw Dongfang Ninghe, tears instantly filled her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I did not kill Concubine Li's sister! I did not!" Jiang Ruyi threw herself into Dongfang Ninghe's arms and cried sadly.
There were palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, everyone was sad about the death of Concubine Li.
The palace maids and eunuchs on night duty were separated and knelt on the left side of the hall.
They all claimed that they did not see Jiang Ruyi come in.
Otherwise, I would have called for help long ago.
"There's something strange about this matter. Until we find out the truth, I'll have to ask you to stay in the palace and not come out." Dongfang Ninghe also wanted to protect Jiang Ruyi.
He wiped away Jiang Ruyi's tears with his sleeves and put a cloak on her.
Soon two eunuchs came and took Jiang Ruyi back.
The coroner carefully examined the body, but when he opened the mouth of the body, a bead suddenly fell out.
The bead fell to the ground and turned into black gas when it was exposed to the sunlight and disappeared.
At the same time, Concubine Li's body shriveled up rapidly, her eye sockets sunken, and she seemed to have turned into a mummy.
Such a change shocked the coroner, the imperial physician and everyone present.
Such a death is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"This must have been done by a monster!" someone in the crowd said and immediately covered his mouth.
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Jiaojiao intentionally or unintentionally.
It seemed as if she was the mastermind behind this. Su Jiaojiao was not afraid of this scrutiny and questioning gaze. If she hadn't done it, she hadn't done it.
"Your Majesty, there are uninvited guests in the palace. Why not invite Master Mingkong to take charge?" Su Jiaojiao took the initiative to suggest.
Baoxiang Temple is a national temple and is truly blessed by Bodhisattva, so when this was said, most people nodded.
Although their opinions were not important, Dongfang Ninghe also thought so.
He immediately ordered Gu Sheng to take people to invite Abbot Mingkong to come to the palace to take charge.
The news of Concubine Li spread throughout the entire harem in an instant, and every concubine was worried, fearing that she would be the next one.
They only heard that the imperial concubine killed the Li concubine in anger, but they didn't know the secret behind it.
