Chapter 177 Duke Rong discovered something unusual

Just from this one sentence, Zhao Lingji knew that Duke Rong's memory was indeed stuck in twenty years ago.

Zhao Lingji was anxious. He didn't care whether Duke Rong believed it or not. He rushed to the desk and told him everything before Duke Rong asked anyone to kick him out.

After he finished speaking, Duke Rong was shocked and looked at him as if he was a madman.

Zhao Lingji knew that Duke Rong didn't believe it, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head, thinking about how to make Duke Rong believe it.

He suddenly saw the old face of Duke Rong, looked around the study but didn't see any mirror, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Zhao Lingji said seriously: "I know you don't believe me, Duke, but now twenty years have indeed passed. If you don't believe me, I can find a mirror to show you.

But before I find the mirror and come in, don't mention this to anyone around you, otherwise I may not be able to come in for a while. ”

Although Duke Rong knew that this matter was ridiculous, he agreed to it for some unknown reason.

He was also very curious whether this matter was true. If it was false, it would not be too late to kick the person out then.

But if it's true..., no, it can't be true!

He just wanted to see what this absurd farce was all about!

After a while, Zhao Lingji slipped in again, this time holding a small bronze mirror in his hand.

When Duke Rong took the bronze mirror, his heart beat faster and faster, because he just realized that he could hardly remember how long it had been since he last looked in the mirror.

When he saw the old face in the mirror, he was so scared that the mirror in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke into pieces.

The servant who came to change shifts outside heard the noise inside and asked nervously at the door: "Master, are you okay? Do you need me to come in and help you?"

When Duke Rong was painting, he didn't like outsiders to come in and disturb him, so when he heard any noise inside, the servants didn't come in immediately, but asked at the door.

Duke Rong was distracted for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he saw Zhao Lingji putting his finger on his chin, begging him not to let anyone outside in.

Duke Rong took a deep breath and replied to the outside: "It's okay, the teacup on my table fell accidentally, I can handle it myself, don't come in and disturb my painting."

"Yes, sir." The servant outside responded, and then there was no movement.

Duke Rong then bent down, picked up the largest piece of the broken bronze mirror on the ground, held it in front of himself, and looked at it repeatedly, examining it carefully.

At first he didn't believe that the old man in the mirror was him, but now after looking carefully, he found that this person was him.

In the past twenty years, due to his own aging and the layout of Rongguo Mansion, Duke Rong had already become extremely old.

Duke Rong's hands couldn't help but tremble, and his voice was shaking: "What's going on, what's going on..."

Zhao Lingji's eyes were red. "Duke, we are the only two alive in the whole mansion now. I suspect that the Duke's mansion was suddenly struck by misfortune, and the young masters and young ladies died in accidents one after another. They were all harmed by someone.

A few days ago, Princess Chen came to our Duke's Mansion. She said she came because she wanted something.

She is willing to help us break the magic circle set up in the Duke's Mansion and investigate the truth of that year.

Her only request was to get what she wanted. She said that she couldn't make the decision and asked me to come back and ask you. ”

"Princess Chen?" The Duke searched his mind carefully, "Is she the Fourth Prince's wife? It happened so fast. Wasn't the Fourth Prince born not long ago? He has already started a family. What family is Princess Chen from? Why does she know these magics? Is she very powerful?"

Zhao Lingji nodded heavily: "She is very powerful!"

He told her everything he had heard about Wen Ling.

The Duke fell into a long silence. After a while, he nodded and said, "You can ask her to come and help."

Zhao Lingji was ecstatic: "Okay, then I'll go out and meet Princess Chen now!"

He turned around and wanted to escape through the window at the back of the study, but soon he remembered something and paused.

He ran back and asked Duke Rong in embarrassment: "Duke, I have a question but I don't know whether I should ask it or not..."

"It's already come to this, just say whatever you want to say." Duke Rong said helplessly.

Zhao Lingji then said, "In fact, I know that in the past twenty years, the people in our house have been doing almost the same things every day. It seems that everyone's memory will always stay on this day. Every day is a repetitive cycle, and everyone will forget what happened yesterday.

What should I do if you ask me to go to Princess Qingchen for help now, but you forget what happened today when you wake up tomorrow? ”

Duke Rong's expression also paused, and a huge fear surged into his heart.

It turned out that he had been repeating the same day every day in the past, but he was completely unaware of it.

Only his aging body told him the passage of time.

If it weren't for Zhao Lingji's reminder, he might have lived this kind of life until his death. Even after death, his soul would be the same as those servants outside who had long since passed away, repeating the same thing every day.

It seemed as if a chill was rising from the soles of his feet...

Duke Rong seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant. He even sounded a little confused: "I... I don't know what to do..."

Zhao Lingji was very anxious again, and suddenly he had an idea.

He searched his body and took out the amulet that Wen Ling had given him.

He handed the amulet to Duke Rong very solemnly: "Duke, take this. This is a gift from Princess Chen to me to protect me from evil spirits. She said I might need it. I think now is the time for me to use it.

Wear it close to your body today, and don't take it off at night. Maybe you will remember what you did today tomorrow.

If you don’t remember, I’ll find a way to remind you tomorrow. It’s okay, there are always more solutions than problems! ”

Duke Rong took the amulet, and as soon as he took it, he felt a warm feeling flowing into his hands.

It seems that this amulet really has some special powers.

When Duke Rong looked at Zhao Lingji again, his eyes were full of praise and gratitude: "Old Zhao is lucky to have such a clever grandson like you. You really did not make a mistake in naming him."

Zhao Lingji smiled broadly: "My grandfather often said this, and he often said that it was his blessing to have a grandson like me."

Then he turned around and ran out through the window. If he didn't go out, it would be midnight.

Zhao Lingji ran to the Wanshiwu again and told her that Rong Guoyue had asked her to come over the next day.

Wen Ling nodded: "I understand, just go back and wait for me to come tomorrow."
