Chapter 36: Do It Quickly, No Need to Give Me Face!
Lin Qingyue sighed: "I heard that your peach blossom wine is famous far and near, I originally wanted to recruit it for the distinguished guests in the mansion, and take care of your business by the way. I didn't expect to find that the shopkeeper who delivered the wine was a demon. Fortunately, Lord Xie of the Xuanjing Division has fiery eyes and saw through the true body of the demon at a glance."
While speaking, she turned her eyes to look.
Xie Shouzheng reacted and nodded along with her words: "Not bad, it was this official who saw it at a glance!"
Lin Qingyue said: "The strange thing is, that is clearly a demon, but it is so weak that it is almost exhausted. I asked her the reason, but she refused to tell the truth. It just so happens that you are here, why don't you tell me why?"
A Heng took a deep breath and said: "Because, Yuan Niang gave her lifespan to me."
"So that's it... then the Mayfly Silk matter, was it also done by you?"
"Yes!"
A Heng answered very simply.
He stood up slowly, no longer as humble as before.
"Although Yuan Niang is a demon, she is kind-hearted and law-abiding, and has never done anything harmful. If you have any means, just come at me, I only ask you to let my wife go!"
Xie Shouzheng asked: "You must honestly confess, what is the purpose of your actions?"
He originally didn't want to confess, but Xie Shouzheng laid out the evidence he had prepared long ago, and he couldn't deny it.
A Heng sighed and began to confess: "My wife has been aging day by day because of me. Although she always pretends not to care, I know she is sad in her heart. Ask, which woman doesn't want to be young and beautiful?"
"Since she wants to restore her youthful appearance—even if she didn't bring it up, I have to help her fulfill her wish!"
"I originally didn't worry about being discovered, because Mayfly Silk is a special larva, and before parasitism, there is no demon energy. And after parasitism, it hides in the human body. Even if there are capable people, they cannot see the problem just by looking at it."
"Plus, their infection route is raw fish. Even if it is really accidentally discovered, they will only suspect that it is a parasite carried by the raw fish itself."
"Then why infect the royal family?" Lin Qingyue asked again.
"It was just an accident." There was some helplessness in his tone, "I didn't expect Chef Zhang to gain the favor of Rui Wangfu. But since it has already happened, it was just going with the flow."
"Princess Jin." He looked up at Lin Qingyue, "I have already told you everything you want to know. Now, can you return Yuan Niang to me? Although she is a demon, she is the most innocent in this matter."
Lin Qingyue said: "Even if you want to negotiate conditions, you have to show your sincerity. For example, help us remove all the parasitism of the Mayfly Silk."
A Heng: "If it is removed, do we still have a way to live?"
Lin Qingyue: "What if I want you to stay and be punished?"
"Must it be so?"
"If you commit a crime, you must pay a price."
There was no fear in A Heng's eyes, "Since you are bullying people too much, don't blame me for being impolite!"
He stood up slowly, clapped his hands, and a familiar figure appeared—Dongfang Yan.
"Prince Jin, your Princess, and this... Lord Xie, you have spoken rudely, please help me catch them all!"
Dongfang Yan immediately ordered: "Someone!"
The mansion guards responded and poured into the garden.
Xie Shouzheng lit his blood thorn whip and scolded: "You cunning bastard, you actually control Prince Jin for your own use!"
Dongfang Yan had already been infected with Mayfly Silk, and at this moment he was a marionette in front of A Heng. Even if A Heng asked him to rebel, he would do it without hesitation.
"If I didn't have absolute certainty, how would I dare to come here alone?"
At this moment, A Heng was no longer the humble look. He put his hands behind his back, his eyes coldly scanning the few high-ranking nobles in front of him.
Even though he was still in coarse clothes, he seemed to be above everyone else.
Dongfang Yan stood beside him and ordered coldly: "Take down the Princess and Xie Shouzheng!"
Xie Shouzheng hurriedly said: "Don't listen to Prince Jin, Prince Jin is parasitized by Mayfly Silk, he is now that person's puppet!"
The guards were also a bit strange when they heard this.
Dongfang Yan roared again: "Don't you listen to the Prince's orders? Tie them all up!"
"Look clearly at Dongfang Yan's current condition!" Lin Qingyue had a way to lure A Heng here, so naturally, she had a way.
She shook her sleeve, dropped a few incense pills, and gently crushed them, and the fragrance overflowed.
The Mayfly Silk in Dongfang Yan's body was affected by it, and immediately caused a severe headache.
He held his head, still following A Heng's command and ordered: "Catch them, catch them!"
Xie Shouzheng hurriedly came out to explain: "Everyone who is parasitized cannot stand the fragrance, which leads to a headache! Don't you understand yet? Your Prince is really controlled by someone, the person controlling him is this A Heng beside him! Otherwise, with Prince Jin's status, how could he listen to a commoner like him and turn around to deal with his own Princess?"
The Prince's mansion guards had experienced the incident of Princess Qing'an, and several of them had followed Dongfang Yan to see the snake demon making trouble in the Changning Hou Mansion, knowing the power, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
And Dongfang Yan, driven by the Mayfly Silk, ordered: "Catch the Princess, the Princess is the demon!"
The guards were a bit messy, unable to distinguish who to help and who to catch for a while.
Finally, the commander was a bit smarter and said: "Acting rashly is easy to make mistakes, why not wait and see, don't act for now."
Anyway, one side is a demon, and these ordinary guards are not good at things like strange powers and chaotic gods.
"Prince Jin, since your people don't listen to your orders. Then you do it yourself!"
Dongfang Yan immediately drew the precious sword from his waist, but the sword was shaking in his hand—the real Dongfang Yan naturally wouldn't listen to the demon's words and was struggling hard.
Unfortunately, it was only for a moment, and all his struggles were suppressed by the control of the Mayfly Silk.
"Lin, Qing, Yue..." He said word by word, walking towards Lin Qingyue with his sword raised, "Quick... go!"
At such a time, he could actually rely on his consciousness to tell Lin Qingyue to go quickly?
But the next moment, Dongfang Yan held the sword horizontally across his own neck.
A Heng said: "The Xuanjing Division really has some skills, Princess Jin, you are also a character, I did underestimate you. I advise you to hand over my wife quickly, otherwise, I will let your husband bleed on the spot! Let you taste the pain of losing your loved one!"
"You want to let me taste the pain of losing my loved one?" Lin Qingyue had already sacrificed the talisman and was ready to use the next move. Hearing this, she suddenly put away the talisman, "Come, come, do it quickly, no need to give me face!"
A Heng: "..."
Dongfang Yan: "..." ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
