In any case, in any case, in any case, I am a symbolic young miss of the Prime Minister's residence. On the wedding night, I actually came with the groom who was about to marry to this courtyard that had just been annihilated, and stepped on a footprint full of blood. It was really a bit strange.
/p
As well as tragic.
/p
God have mercy on me. Why did someone like to make trouble for me during my meal time? The hot and fragrant Osmanthus cake just showed up in front of me, and I had to abandon it again. Only a few wisps of fragrance passed through my nose, flowed through my body, and digested into my stomach. Miserable, really miserable.
/p
Prince Yue seriously analyzed the situation. "The blood has seeped three inches into the ground, but when I came here, I took a look at the situation of the Sun household. Including the servants, there were only thirty or so people. How could there be such a tragic situation?"
/p
I glared at him and bluntly said, "Even if there were more than a hundred servants and maids in the residence, it would be impossible for the blood to seep three inches into the ground. This family's blood must have been mixed with something to create such a strange scene."
/p
"Yes, the Princess is right."
/p
The courtyard was empty. I looked around and asked, "The Sun household couldn't have been burned to ashes and left in the courtyard. Where are their corpses?"
/p
Prince Yue said, "They should be in the room." He also looked around and very naturally pulled me by the wrist into the room. I originally wanted to struggle, but I was already married and my name was written in the ancestral hall. There was no need for me to be reserved and refuse, so I let the Prince do as he wished.
/p
As expected of a room where thirty or so people had died. The cold air and the heat of July were enough to suffocate a person to death. Prince Yue took the lead and entered the room. His nose twitched as he sniffed. Then he took a step back and said to me, "You're wearing a piece of cloth on your face. The smell is not right."
/p
"Even if it's not right," I said, "Why don't the Prince take a look first?"
/p
My nose is sharp. In fact, I smelled something outside the door. But even though my nose is sharp, I don't know what it is. Since Wang Ye smelled it, I will let him go in first. I will just stay outside as a lookout.
/p
Prince Yue glanced at me with a half-smile. "Princess, are you suspecting that I'm going to live off a woman?" Without waiting for my sincere explanation, he went straight in, and left me standing outside, worrying whether he would make things difficult for me when he returned home.
/p
The stairs were fine, but I looked at the reddish-brown soil in the courtyard. It was wet, sticky, and smelled disgusting. I didn't know if anyone within a few miles would want to continue living here after this incident.
/p
I have a bad habit of not being able to stand still. My mind was in a mess, and my feet would move around randomly. But when I stepped on the blood-soaked soil, I really didn't want to. After thinking for a long time, I saw that the courtyard was full of small white pebbles. The pebbles looked like the fingernails of a skeleton. It seemed like a good place to step on, so I didn't hesitate to step on it.
/p
The sound of a crack woke up half of the silent suppression, and really scared me.
/p
Which shabby craftsman built the courtyard? Even the pebbles were brittle. How crafty!
/p
But before I could curse out loud, I saw some movement in the smelly ground next to where I was standing, as if something was about to break out of the ground. I wondered if this wet rain had misled the earthworms and snails into thinking that it was the wet time for rain.
/p
I stared at the place where there was movement for a long time, but I didn't see any earthworms or snails. Instead, I saw a white and glossy skull.
/p
The skull seemed to be a living thing. It turned its head, and there were two black holes where its eyes should have been. I stared at it, and it seemed to stare back at me.
/p
I sucked in a breath of cold air and subconsciously stomped on the skeleton. I put a lot of strength into this stomp. Crack! Crack! There was a deep pit under my feet. The poor skeleton didn't have time to do anything before I stomped it back into the ground. I even rolled it over a couple of times.
/p
Although I had pressed this one into the ground, I was keenly aware that the surrounding area was beginning to emit a series of small movements. The sound of bones grinding against each other was really hair-raising.
/p
Out of habit, I almost shouted the word 'prince' at the top of my throat. Thinking about it, it was the middle of the month, and every family's men were hugging their wives to sleep. If I shouted like this, wouldn't I wake up half the people in the city? Moreover, although calling out 'prince' was quick, it would also disturb this bunch of unknown things. At that time, they would be angered, and all of them would rush towards me. It would be difficult for two hands to fight against four fists. If I couldn't beat them, wouldn't I be like the Sun family in this courtyard, and my life would be over?
/p
Well, I could only sigh at my own cleverness, and move slowly and cautiously towards the room, lest I should guess something again, and rouse the subterranean agitation.
/p
Prince Yue was carefully looking at the corpses in the room. Seeing me walk in in a panic, he was stunned. He asked me anxiously, "What happened outside? Why do you look so pale?"
/p
I closed the door, and directly used my back as the door latch. I interrupted him and asked, "Are you sure that these Sun family members were killed by bandits?"
/p
Prince Yue nodded and said, "Although I can't be sure that they were killed by bandits, the fatal wounds were caused by a sharp weapon. Although the blood is a little strange, it doesn't seem to be the result of poisoning. It could be that the family members shared something before they died. It's very strange."
/p
I felt that there seemed to be some force outside. Immediately, my face paled, and I hurriedly said to Prince Yue, "The strangest thing is outside the door. Can you hear the sound of something crashing? A bunch of skeletons crawled out of the ground outside! "
/p
"Skeletons?" Prince Yue snorted and laughed, "I'm afraid that the princess is tired tonight. Unexpectedly, you saw something so inconceivable."
/p
I couldn't be bothered to get angry at his carefree attitude. The force of the outside knocking on the door was getting stronger and stronger. Naturally, Prince Yue also felt the commotion outside the door. He put away his smile and asked me in a deep voice, "Outside."
/p
"It's really skeletons. They're still alive and kicking." I put my hands behind my back and stretched my legs forward. I tried my best to form a fixed triangle to block the poor wooden door. My hands and feet were busy, so I could only tilt my head and pout, "It's fine if you don't believe me. Go take a look outside the window."
/p
"You."
/p
Seeing that he wanted to take over my work, I said, "Hurry up and take a look outside the window. If these things climb in through the window, we'll be attacked from both sides!"
/p
Prince Yue exhorted, "Then be careful." Then he ran to the window and stuck his head out to take a look. I heard him let out an unrestrained "Whoa!" His voice was so loud that it almost reached the heavens. She knew what he had seen. "What's the matter? You finally believe me, right?"
/p
Prince Yue said in a very indignant tone, "In this age of peace and happiness, there are still people who dare to use this kind of obscenity. Seriously …" After holding it in for a long time, he finally squeezed out two words, "Nonsense!"
/p
What's with his helpless tone? It was like an old father who hated his unfilial son for not living up to his expectations. However, I couldn't ask him any further. The force behind the door was too strong. Even if I really treated myself as a bolt, I would still break under the attack.
/p
"Your Highness." I shouted towards the other side, "I have to open the door and let them in."
/p
Prince Yue nodded and locked the window. He ran to my side and said, "I'll count to three. You dodge to the right and we'll release them together!"
/p
I was on the right and he was on the left. If I dodged to the right, he would retreat to the left. After thinking it through, I agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to Your Highness."
/p
Prince Yue closed his eyes. I saw that there was a red undercurrent in the depths of his eyes, and it was a bit like a flickering flame. He was probably excited and timid, or was it simply my eyes that were playing tricks on me?
/p
"Three!"
/p
I took a deep breath.
/p
Prince Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Two!"
/p
I turned around and used all my strength to push against the door. This way, it would be easier for me to retreat to the side. I took some time to look to the side. Heh, Prince Yue had the same idea as me. We were really telepathic.
/p
"One!"
/p
I abruptly withdrew all of my strength and flipped to the right to dodge the attack. Unexpectedly, Prince Yue did not dodge to the left. Instead, he took a step and stood in the middle. His hands quickly formed a complicated seal, and three fire dragons rushed out from his seal. They were like heavenly light and karmic fire, instantly burning all the skeletons and evil creatures outside.
/p
This happened in the blink of an eye, but I was so surprised that I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. I blinked and looked at the empty space outside. The fire dragons had broken through the skeletons and burned them to ashes. It was as if they had completed their mission. They didn't harm a single blade of grass or tree in the courtyard. Instead, they turned into sparks and scattered away. I was moved, but at the same time, I was a little confused. Was this just a move, or were they living creatures?
/p
If a move evolved into the appearance of a living creature, then even if it was cultivated to the point of perfection, ordinary people would not be able to match it. If a living creature willingly became a weapon and became a move, then regardless of whether it was the caster or the living creature, it was most likely a sacrifice to display a selfless heart.
/p
Prince Yue, who had used this move, was currently standing upright. Seeing that he was unsteady on his feet, I steadied him and pulled him into my embrace. He didn't reject it and just smiled gently. "Fortunately, you came in time. If a wisp of wind came before you, I'm afraid I would have fallen to the ground."
/p
"If you fell to the ground, I wouldn't be able to help you up," I said. "What are these things?"
/p
Prince Yue pondered for a moment, then said to me, "Someone in the capital is practicing a secret technique of the non-human race."
/p
I narrowed my eyes and asked tentatively, "What was that move you used just now?"
/p
"It's a proper technique."
/p
I asked, "They are both secret techniques. Why is one of them a non-human secret technique and the other a proper one in your hands?"
