Chapter 184: Even if You Are Really an Evil Ghost, You Are an Evil Ghost with a Buddha's Heart

~8 min read 1,565 words

Lin Qingyue asked him: "Since you knew long ago that I am not the original Lin Qingyue, why have you never asked about my background?"

Dongfang Qi asked back: "Would you tell me if I asked?"

Lin Qingyue shook her head.

Dongfang Qi smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, why should I ask more? Everyone has secrets they don't want to tell, this is human nature. I just need to be sure that you are not a treacherous and evil person, and that is enough."

He thought quite simply.

"But how can you be sure that I am not a treacherous and evil person?"

Dongfang Qi pointed to his eyes and pressed his heart: "By what I have seen with my own eyes, experienced myself, and felt in my heart."

"When you saved me in danger, and later accompanied me all the way north, you would intervene in any injustice you saw. In the Chiying Land, you even protected me with your life, which is why I am here today. Even if you are really an evil ghost, you are an evil ghost with a Buddha's heart, so what is there to fear?"

"As for Dongfang Yan..."

He swept over the corpse on the ground lightly, his tone calm: "He has been my enemy many times in the past, and I have long had the intention to kill him, but I kept him alive for the sake of the old Prince Jin. Now that he knows your secret, to prevent future trouble, he should naturally be eradicated."

After all, not everyone understands Lin Qingyue as well as he does.

Now, just because of Lin Ruzhen's few slanderous words, Dongfang Yan developed evil intentions towards Lin Qingyue and dared to kidnap her in broad daylight.

If he were allowed to live again, it would be hard to guarantee that he wouldn't spread dirty words everywhere, causing Lin Qingyue to fall into an irreparable situation.

That's why Dongfang Qi didn't hesitate to kill him just now—it seemed impulsive, but it was actually carefully considered.

Lin Qingyue was very satisfied with Dongfang Qi's answer, "Not bad, I really didn't misjudge the person. Serious business is important—since Lin Ruzhen has Flying Corpse Silkworms parasitizing her, perhaps we can find the mastermind we are looking for from her memory."

"Good, it's up to you next."

Dongfang Qi laughed secretly: she was still thinking about the Xuanjing Division's errand at this time, even if she claimed to be a bad person, who would believe it?

Lin Qingyue quickly formed seals with her fingers, and at the same time cast a talisman, shouting:

"With blood as a guide, trace the dream and return the shadow!"

As Lin Qingyue's incantation was recited, a golden talisman light fell into Lin Ruzhen's sea of consciousness.

A light curtain appeared above Lin Ruzhen, clearly reflecting the various experiences she had in the past two months—

In the pitch-black midnight, Lin Ruzhen, wearing a cloak, ran in a panic on the streets of the Jingcheng.

That was two months ago, after she boldly slept with Dongfang Yan, and was afraid that Dongfang Yan would settle accounts with her, so she fled overnight.

She didn't dare to return to the Lin family, otherwise she would definitely be found by Dongfang Yan.

A selfish and cold person like Lin Xiao would not offend Prince Jin for an adopted daughter.

So she quietly went to several noble ladies' homes in the Jingcheng.

But in the past, those close friends who had a good relationship with her had long known about her identity as a fake daughter, and wouldn't even see her.

Until later, she found the Feng family.

Yan Qiu'er, the concubine of Feng Ying, had had a few interactions with Lin Ruzhen.

However, in the past, Lin Ruzhen was the daughter of the Marquis Mansion and looked down on Yan Qiu'er's status.

Only because Feng Ying was the Libationer of the Directorate of Education and the Lin family needed this connection, Lin Ruzhen had to lower her status and deal with Yan Qiu'er, but the relationship was not particularly good.

Coming to the Feng family was a helpless move when she was at the end of her rope.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qiu'er came out to pick her up in person and arranged for her to stay in the guest room of the Feng family.

When talking about the past, Lin Ruzhen did not shy away from telling Yan Qiu'er about her grievances and entanglements with Lin Qingyue.

Yan Qiu'er listened and suddenly said: "That Princess Jin is really strange, she completely changed like a different person."

"Changed like a different person?" Lin Ruzhen was enlightened, "Yes, that's right! Just like completely changing into a different person! Except for the appearance, her words and deeds, temper and disposition, were all different from before. And those strange abilities, I don't know how they appeared."

"Once, she just patted me on the shoulder and planted a strange curse on me. It caused my mouth and tongue to be covered in sores, and now my voice is still hoarse and ugly, just like an old woman on her deathbed!"

Yan Qiu'er pondered and said: "According to your description, Lin Qingyue's situation is very much like possession."

"Possession?"

"The so-called possession refers to the body being occupied by a cuckoo. I heard that some people in the folk who practice evil arts have aging bodies, and in order to continue living, they take other people's bodies for their own use. Or, evil ghosts who have died and have no physical body occupy the bodies of living people to live again. This will lead to a complete change in temper and disposition!"

"So, Lin Qingyue was possessed? The one later is an evil ghost?"

Thinking this through, Lin Ruzhen was overjoyed: "If Prince Jin knew the truth, he would definitely not want her anymore. Then the position of Princess Jin is still mine! That's right, that was originally my position!"

She grabbed Yan Qiu'er's hand, like grabbing a straw: "How can I prove that she is a possessed evil ghost? Qiu'er, you must help me! When I become Princess Jin, I will definitely repay you well!"

Yan Qiu'er looked at her stomach: "Now that Prince Jin is still blinded, it's not the time. It will be safer if you go after you confirm you are pregnant. At that time, you expose Lin Qingyue's identity, make a great contribution in front of Prince Jin, and are pregnant with his offspring, he will definitely treat you and your child well."

So, in the next few days, Lin Ruzhen checked her stomach several times a day.

She wanted to be pregnant, wanted to gamble one last time. She hoped that the bold act that night would conceive Dongfang Yan's child, and then rely on the child to be honored.

In a hurry, she asked Yan Qiu'er to help her take her pulse every two days.

Unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory every time.

Later, Yan Qiu'er sent her a Nourishing Fetal Pill.

Yan Qiu'er coaxed her: "This is a folk secret recipe. After taking it, even if you haven't conceived, it can retain and solidify the essence at that time into a fetus."

"Is this true?" Lin Ruzhen looked at Yan Qiu'er's stomach, "Didn't you also marry into the Feng family for more than a year? Why haven't you been pregnant? With such good things, why wouldn't you eat them yourself?"

Yan Qiu'er sighed: "My luck is not as good as yours, Prince Jin is young and strong, and the probability of hitting the mark in one shot is very high. Unlike ours... he is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and has long been useless. If I were pregnant, he would think I gave him a green hat. So this Nourishing Fetal Pill, I can't use it at all. Now I give it to the future Princess Jin, please don't forget me when you get power in the future."

Lin Ruzhen felt relieved and swallowed the Nourishing Fetal Pill in front of Yan Qiu'er.

A few days later, the doctor came to diagnose the pulse again, and sure enough, he diagnosed a pregnancy.

But the strange thing was, not long after, she could feel something moving around in her stomach.

Yan Qiu'er said, this is called fetal movement, indicating that the fetus is lively and naughty, and it must be a boy.

Lin Ruzhen had no experience, how would she know that fetal movement would only occur after four or five months of pregnancy?

She believed Yan Qiu'er's words, and every day she dreamed of giving birth to a son and being welcomed back to the mansion by Prince Jin, living a life of gold and jade.

Just like this, two months passed, and Lin Ruzhen's stomach grew bigger and bigger.

That day, she was really bored in the Feng family, so Yan Qiu'er accompanied her to go shopping.

When they came back, they found that the Xuanjing Division had rushed into the Feng family to arrest Yan Qiu'er.

Yan Qiu'er saw that the situation was not good, pulled Lin Ruzhen and ran.

Lin Ruzhen was heavily pregnant and fell down before running far.

She asked Yan Qiu'er in confusion: "Why did the Xuanjing Division arrest you? What did you do?" ===== CHAPTER 185 =====
