Fu 'er was about to greet her, but her mouth was covered. She looked up at Yan Li in confusion.
"Shh, don't make a sound. Let's see what she's doing here." Yan Li whispered in her ear and let go of her hand.
Fu 'er asked blankly, "What's' doing '?"
Yan Li sneered, "Shady business. She's not here to look for the toilet, is she?"
"Where's the bathroom?" Deng Xinyuan muttered to herself as she looked around.
Yan Li was stunned. Was she really here to look for the toilet?
"Master, don't think of everyone as a bad person." Fu 'er said arrogantly, "It's because you always have evil intentions towards others that you're always on guard against others. In fact, there are many good people in this world."
Yan Li scratched her nose, "Only you know. Let's go."
"Fu 'er knows a lot." Fu' er raised her head and puffed out her chest like a little rooster that had won a fight.
Yan Li rolled his eyes at her and was about to leave. He did not want to be charged with the perverted crime of 'peeping on Madam Sima'. He believed that the news would spread like wildfire tomorrow and evolve into hundreds of more exaggerated versions.
But after a few steps, he noticed that there was no movement behind him.
He turned around and saw that Deng Xinyuan had disappeared.
Where did she go in the time it took to say a few words?
"Did you see her?" He couldn't help but ask.
Fu 'er was confused, "Who?"
"That … Um, pretty sister?" Yan Li said.
"She went in," Fu 'er said.
"So fast?" Yan Li couldn't help but glance at the toilet door. Could it be that Deng Xinyuan practiced the Shadowless Divine Art?
"What?" Fu 'er pointed at the door in the distance, "She went in. Didn't she go to look for the toilet?"
"Oh?" Yan Li was immediately interested, "Are you sure she went in?"
"What is Master up to now?" Fu 'er said excitedly, "Is she going to scare sister? I want to go too, I want to go too … "
"No, let's go and see what she's up to," Yan Li said.
"Trick?" Fu 'er's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
"Ghost means …" Yan Li paused, unable to organize concise and vivid words in his mind. "Anyway, a married woman came to such a remote place in the middle of the night. There must be a ghost. No matter what happens later, don't make a sound, okay?"
"Is, is there really a ghost? I'm scared …" Fu 'er's arm, which was holding Yan Li, was shaking.
"Then you go back first." Yan Li just happened to send her away.
"No," Fu 'er said, "I also want to see what a ghost looks like."
Yan Li had no choice but to sneak through the bushes with her. Fortunately, this garden had been abandoned for a long time, and the weeds were even taller than Fu 'er. Soon, they arrived outside the wall of the small courtyard.
Their line of sight was blocked by a wall, so of course they couldn't see what was going on inside. Moreover, they didn't know what was going on inside, so they didn't dare to look up rashly. Thus, they took out the Leaving Cliff Sword and carefully dug a hole in the wall.
Through the small hole, he saw Deng Xinyuan standing at the door of the small courtyard, still looking around. But it didn't look like she was in a hurry to go to the toilet. Instead, it looked like she was waiting for someone.
The hole was too small and could only fit one eye. Fu 'er shook Yan Li and said, "I also want to see."
Yan Li couldn't see anything strange at the moment, so he let her look.
"What? There's no ghost at all. Master lied to me." Fu 'er was very angry after seeing it.
"Wait a little longer," Yan Li said. Of course, he wasn't interested in Deng Xinyuan's ghost story, but it happened in the Situ Mansion, so it was worth investigating.
It turned out that his "sixth sense" was very accurate. Deng Xinyuan was indeed waiting for someone, a man.
The man appeared in the small courtyard without a sound.
Yan Li suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. He subconsciously closed his mouth and covered Fu 'er's mouth, afraid that she would make a sound. Then, he carefully moved his eyes to the eye hole. He couldn't help but be shocked. The person who came was none other than today's birthday boy, Li Boyong.
"You're here." Deng Xinyuan looked at the man in front of her and said with a complicated but happy tone.
"I missed you." Li Boyong walked over and gently stroked Deng Xinyuan's cheek.
This man had a very affectionate face. His handsome nose matched with his unique mature and charming smile. To Deng Xinyuan, it was like a poison that she couldn't get out of.
"Me too … but …" Deng Xinyuan slightly moved her eyes away. She didn't dare to keep looking at him. She was afraid that she would do something irreversible.
"But what?" The middle-aged man's mellow voice was like a glass of aged wine. It might not have a strong taste, but only after drinking it could one feel the intoxication from the bottom of their heart.
Deng Xinyuan couldn't help but bury her head in his arms. "Did Yi Xiu find something? Otherwise, why would he give you Lin Meishu's statue for no reason? "
Li Boyong's face darkened. "Don't mention that woman to me. Have you forgotten?"
"I'm sorry …" Deng Xinyuan said in a low voice. "I, I'm just scared … I've been having nightmares these days …"
"Aren't you already fine?" Li Boyong said.
Deng Xinyuan raised her head. Her eyes were dark. "Did you kill Fang Junyi?"
"What are you trying to say?" Li Boyong's expression was indifferent.
Deng Xinyuan said quietly, "The way she died was exactly the same as Lin Meishu's. It reminded me of what happened in the past …"
"The past is the past." Li Boyong let go of her. "Bringing up the past won't do either of us any good. You should understand that."
"I'm sorry …" Deng Xinyuan hurriedly grabbed his hand. "Don't be angry. I'm just worried that one day …"
Li Boyong looked at her deeply. "If I wanted your life, would you still be alive now?"
Deng Xinyuan's delicate body trembled.
Li Boyong's eyes became gentle again. He gently held her face. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Soon, we can be together. We don't have to worry about anyone."
"Why?"
"Because on New Year's Eve, the Great Xia Dynasty will fall."
Deng Xinyuan was keenly aware of something. Her face suddenly turned pale. "You promised me that you wouldn't hurt him."
"That was in the past." Li Boyong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with going back on his words.
"You …" Deng Xinyuan's face suddenly turned red with anger. "This is our agreement. Do you want to betray me?"
Li Boyong smiled and said, "I don't remember ever serving you. Tomorrow, find an excuse to go back to your parents' home. I'll make a corpse of you. From then on, we can be together forever. "
After saying that, he started to move up and down.
Deng Xinyuan wanted to resist, but at this time, she had no room to resist. Her mind was full of resistance, but her body was honest. Her face that was red because of anger turned into an intoxicating blush.
Even they didn't have the habit of deep intimacy outside. The boundless spring scenery in the attic had nothing to do with Yan Li.
As a bystander, he was very dedicated. He didn't even take a breath during the whole process.
Only when he was far away from the small courtyard did he slowly exhale a mouthful of turbid air.
"Wu wu wu wu …" At this time, Fu 'er struggled.
As soon as Yan Li released his hand, Fu 'er gasped for breath and then said excitedly, "Master, master, what are they doing? Let's go back and take a look. It seems very interesting. "
"Cheating." Yan Li held back for a long time before spitting out two very incisive words.
"Cheating?" Fu 'er's beautiful eyes widened. "That sounds very fun."
"Fun?" Yan Li looked at her bitterly and said solemnly, "Their behavior is wrong. It is a double betrayal of the body and the soul. It is completely twisted …"
After that, he gave more than a dozen examples and made a long and incessant speech. Finally, Fu'er understood how evil and ugly it was to have an affair.
Although she understood, she had a new question, "But master, why doesn't that sister leave the person she doesn't love and be with the one she loves?"
Yan Li finally understood the truth: behind the why, there were countless whys and whys.
A young girl who had just experienced her first awakening of love still had a long way to go to grow up to understand these truths.
"Well, I'll tell you next time. Right now, I have to go back first. Otherwise, people will be suspicious." Yan Li had to find an excuse to separate from her. "Don't run around. Don't ever go back. Otherwise, even I can't protect your little life."
"What?" Fu 'er pouted. "My little life is still very precious."
The two separated. Not long after Yan Li returned to the banquet, Deng Xinyuan returned.
She still looked so dignified and noble, her charming face rippling with a reserved smile. She didn't look like a woman who had just returned from an affair.
On the second day of the birthday banquet, a major event shook Yong Ling.
More than fifty experts from the fourth rank to the cultivation realm suddenly died in the imperial worship hall, including the famous Black and White Impermanence. The cause of death was unknown.
The case was handed over to the Judicial Department.
But that afternoon, Imperial Censor Long Qianhua, Left Gate Commandant Zhang Mu, Left Gate Commandant Guan Yu Bo, Guard Commandant Luo Sen, and First Guard Commandant Qi Chu all died in their homes.
That night, Grand Marshal Wei Jun died and the Sima Residence was burned to the ground.
For a time, the imperial court was shaken and all the officials were in danger.
Even the slowest fool would know that a storm was brewing in Yong Ling.
"It's been confirmed. This was Yang Youyun's method back then."
Li Wei sat in front of Ji Tiansheng and sighed deeply. "Your Majesty is unfortunate. You will have to experience the darkness that Spirit Emperor experienced back then."
Ji Tiansheng said expressionlessly, "You mean, the Feast of Ghosts and Gods?"
"That's right, the Feast of Ghosts and Gods," Li Wei said.
Ji Tiansheng said, "Divine Physician, how many of the officials in the imperial court do you think are their people?"
Li Wei shook his head and slowly stood up. "Your Majesty, this old man only has one thing to say."
"Please speak," Ji Tiansheng said.
