Chapter 183: The Host of the Mother Insect is Actually Her?

Lin Ruzhen grabbed Lin Qingyue's wrist fiercely, raising the dagger to slash at her wrist.

Suddenly, two slender jade fingers accurately clamped the cold blade.

"Had enough?" Lin Qingyue's voice was wrapped in laughter, but it made Lin Ruzhen and Dongfang Yan's hearts tighten.

"Crack!" With a slight force of her fingers, the blade shattered like brittle ice.

Lin Ruzhen staggered back a few steps, her face pale as paper, incoherent: "You you, you are not... how could it be? Are you pretending?"

Lin Qingyue sneered: "With your kind of low-class means, you still want to show off? If I didn't cooperate with your acting, how would I know what show you are singing?"

Dongfang Yan was first shocked, then a trace of imperceptible relief flashed in his eyes.

He turned to Lin Ruzhen and shouted sternly: "Lin Ruzhen, you told me before that your medicinal powder is only effective against evil things. So, she is not the evil spirit you said?"

Lin Ruzhen explained anxiously: "No, no, Prince, listen to me! Although I don't know why the medicinal powder is ineffective against her, I know she is definitely not my sister! She is an evil spirit, snatching my sister's body!"

Dongfang Yan looked at Lin Ruzhen, then at Lin Qingyue, and for a while, he couldn't be sure who to believe.

Lin Qingyue sat up from the couch, flicked the dust off her skirt, and smiled faintly:

"Lin Ruzhen, if you had hidden in the mountains and forests, maybe I would be too lazy to haggle with you about those grudges. But you insist on appearing to look for death, hmm?"

She shook the broken blade in her hand: "Speak, how do you want to die?"

Lin Ruzhen turned and wanted to run, Lin Qingyue waved her sleeve, and the door of the hall slammed shut with a bang.

Lin Ruzhen was completely panicked, kneeling at Dongfang Yan's feet and begging: "Prince, save me! For the sake of the child I am pregnant with, save me! The one in my stomach is your eldest son!"

Dongfang Yan ignored her, only staring at Lin Qingyue: "Tell me, are you really the real Lin Qingyue?"

Lin Qingyue smiled faintly: "Instead of caring about that, think about your own end."

Dongfang Yan said: "Why don't you dare to answer my question directly? So... you are really not her? I should have discovered it, I should have discovered it... It was you, it was you who used my feelings for you to blind my eyes!"

"Tell me, the real Lin Qingyue, she... she..."

"She is naturally no longer in this world."

"Sigh..." Lin Qingyue sighed leisurely, "I promised the original owner not to kill you. But now, since you already know everything, this seat has to break the promise..."

The blood-red oil-paper umbrella "Swish!" spun open, like a flower blooming in the rolling turbid world.

The bells under the umbrella ribs turned into sharp blades, forcing towards Dongfang Yan with murderous intent.

Dongfang Yan subconsciously wanted to pull out the sword he was carrying to resist, but found that he couldn't move, as if all his strength had been drained, and he couldn't even move a finger.

The surrounding air brought a strong sense of killing, making his heart race and feeling real fear.

He wanted to shout loudly for people outside to save him, but his voice was blocked in his throat, unable to make a sound.

So, this is Lin Qingyue's true strength!

When she wanted to kill him, he was like an ant without any resistance.

Until this moment, Dongfang Yan finally realized Lin Qingyue's terror.

Just when Lin Qingyue was about to take action, "Bang—" the door was kicked open, and Dongfang Qi appeared at the door, with more than a dozen Prince's guards lying scattered behind him.

And his sword was still dripping with blood, his usually gentle and calm face filled with tension.

As the door opened, the killing intent in the hall instantly dissipated without a trace. The Nether Umbrella also retracted its baleful aura, obediently returning to Lin Qingyue's hand; it looked just like an ordinary oil-paper umbrella.

When Dongfang Qi entered the door, the first thing he saw was Lin Qingyue leaning on the Arhat couch, holding the red umbrella. There was still a trace of coldness in her eyes, but the aura around her had become gentle, as if the sharpness just now had never appeared.

"Yueyue!" Dongfang Qi stepped into the door, about to check if she was unharmed.

Dongfang Yan, who escaped death, suddenly grabbed Dongfang Qi's arm and shouted: "She is a monster! She is not the original Lin Qingyue at all..."

"Bang!" Dongfang Qi hurriedly closed the hall door, locking the Xuanjing Division guards who followed him along with his own men outside the door.

And Dongfang Yan was still talking:

"Dongfang Qi, we were all deceived by her, the original Lin Qingyue died long ago, she, she is..."

Suddenly, Dongfang Yan's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked down in disbelief, seeing the long sword in the Crown Prince's hand had pierced his chest.

Blood rolled out in large patches, wetting the python robe on Dongfang Yan's body.

"Crown Prince, you... you..." Dongfang Yan fell down softly, his eyes wide open, still full of doubts until his death.

Clearly, Lin Qingyue was also afraid of the Crown Prince knowing her identity, why did the Crown Prince kill him to silence him instead after he exposed it?

Lin Qingyue was indeed a bit surprised.

Dongfang Qi slowly pulled out his sword, wiped the blood on the sword expressionlessly, and when he looked up again, he returned to his gentle and jade-like appearance.

He said gently: "Yueyue, I'm here to save you."

"Oh right..." Dongfang Qi's gaze suddenly fell on Lin Ruzhen, "Another one. It seems I have to wipe the sword one more time."

Lin Ruzhen, who witnessed everything, trembled, crawling out with her hands and feet, muttering: "Madman, you are all madmen!"

"The mad one is you." Lin Qingyue flashed, and appeared at the door, blocking Lin Ruzhen's way.

Lin Ruzhen said: "Spare... me... I won't dare... dare again..."

Lin Qingyue smiled: "Don't worry, I won't kill you for now. For the sake of your big belly."

Dongfang Qi discovered that she was pregnant: "Is she pregnant with Dongfang Yan's child?"

Lin Qingyue sneered: "How is that possible? If I'm not mistaken, there should be the mother insect of the Flying Corpse Silkworm inside."

Dongfang Qi was surprised: "So, this Lin Ruzhen is the host of the mother insect? Then isn't she..."

He remembered that Lin Qingyue said yesterday that larvae only eat rotten internal organs, while the mother insect is completely opposite, eating living internal organs.

At this moment, looking at the slightly bulging stomach of Lin Ruzhen, it was moving constantly, as if the thing inside sensed danger and wanted to escape.

Lin Ruzhen was also in pain and rolling on the ground, shouting: "Good baby, don't toss Mom! Be good, otherwise Mom can't bear it!"

The thing in her stomach seemed to have a mother-child connection, and after listening to Lin Ruzhen's words, it really stopped making trouble.

Lin Ruzhen stroked her stomach and said: "What a good baby."

Lin Qingyue said: "The thing in your stomach is not a fetus at all, but a monster!"

These words instantly angered Lin Ruzhen, and she retorted loudly: "No, this is my baby! And the eldest son of Prince Jin's mansion! If you hadn't snatched my position as Princess, it should have been the legitimate eldest son!"

She looked down at Dongfang Yan lying in a pool of blood, her heart panicked, and she couldn't help but beg:

"I won't say anything! As long as you spare me, I will never tell your secret. Prince Jin is already dead, the child in my stomach is the only bloodline of Prince Jin, if I give birth to it, I can inherit the throne! I will be the Prince's mother in the future, I can help you, you want me to help you do anything!"

Lin Qingyue looked at her crazy appearance and only felt that she deserved it.

She waved her hand, and Lin Ruzhen rolled her eyes and fell asleep.

Lin Qingyue walked a few steps closer to Dongfang Qi and asked: "When did you know?"

Dongfang Qi's act of killing Dongfang Yan just now was clearly helping her cover up her identity. Since that was the case, he must have known everything long ago.

"A long time ago," Dongfang Qi said, "Probably since you were still Xiao Hua, I knew your background was extraordinary."

"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Qingyue raised her eyebrows, "My background is unknown, and I might be an evil ghost possessing someone, wanting to harm the world."

"You are not." Dongfang Qi said firmly, "Although I don't know your true background, I dare to be sure that you will never do the thing of killing and possessing."

"So sure?" Lin Qingyue smiled lightly, "I have never said I am a good person."

"You are." Dongfang Qi looked at her, his gaze persistent and firm. ===== CHAPTER 184 =====
