Footprints were soon found somewhere on the wall.
The footprints were clearly that of a man, and the sole pattern was exactly the same as that of the Togiya Imperial Guard.
Using this to trace further, Leng Yi soon surfaced.
Mrs. Xie ordered someone to report the matter to the palace.
King Jing was also shocked and inexplicable when he heard the news.
When they learned that Leng Yi had died a day ago and his body had been buried, everyone froze as if they had seen a ghost.
"How is this possible?" Inner Guard A murmured, "The person I saw at night was him!"
"I saw it too, it's not wrong!" Nei Wei Yi also said firmly, "I even said hello to him at that time! He even said hello to me! Dead people can't talk! Besides, he has a shadow!"
And ghosts have no shadows.
This is everyone’s simplest understanding of humans and ghosts!
When King Jing heard the report from the inner guard, he couldn't help but think of the half-dead body in the coffin. He couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart and took people to dig the grave in the cemetery himself!
When we arrived at the cemetery, we all changed colors when we saw the big hole in the grave!
When the grave was dug and they saw the empty coffin, everyone couldn't help but gasp!
"Is he... pretending to be dead?" Someone asked tremblingly, "Or is he simply pretending to be dead?"
"Impossible!" Old Wu shook his head categorically, "I personally inspected Ah Yi's body. He had no pulse at all and his body was stiff! How could he be pretending to be dead? And why was he pretending to be dead? If he really wanted to save him from Xie's Mansion Queen, just go directly when you take a break! Why do you need to do this?"
"Whether he's pretending to be dead or pretending to be dead, no matter what, Ayi will never betray His Highness!" Yi Ran choked, "This is not the first day we met him! He was in the East Palace and was deeply loved by His Highness. Nobushige! What reason does he have to betray His Highness and help the Queen escape?"
Everyone shook their heads: "Ayi is indeed not that kind of person!"
We are all brothers who share weal and woe, and are not afraid of life or death. As the trusted inner guards of the prince, they have a bright future and extremely generous salaries. They really have no reason or need to betray the prince.
Not to mention, Leng Yi was an orphan and grew up next to the prince!
The depth of affection is beyond the comparison of ordinary guards!
King Jing was well aware of this and stared at the empty tomb in a daze, remembering the scene when Leng Yi died yesterday.
Yi Ran would sort out Concubine Shu's affairs and report them to him every day. He would read them carefully every day, and he studied them carefully last night.
He has never understood why Concubine Shu suddenly killed her son and directly cut out Xiao Jue's heart in such a bloody and cruel way.
When I saw the empty tomb and thought of the half-dead and half-alive corpse of Emperor Xiao in the palace mourning hall, my heart sank little by little!
"Hurry up and send someone to send a message to Yuncheng!" He ordered hurriedly, "Bring it to Miss Su along with the record of what Concubine Shu said yesterday! This Concubine Shu is probably going to become a monster again!"
When everyone heard the word "Yun City", their faces turned gloomy.
King Jing was also worried as he had never been before.
…
Cloud City.
Su Li stayed by Xiao Lin's side all night long, looking at him with a pair of eyes.
She had done everything she could, and yet again she suffered backlash.
However, the backlash this time was not as painful as the first time. It only took a short moment to get through it.
This surprised Su Li.
Of course, maybe she was too anxious and focused all her attention on Xiao Lin, ignoring the pain.
However, after this backlash, she did not feel exhausted and her spiritual power did not seem to be damaged.
To her, it was a surprise.
But there is currently nothing to gain from this surprise.
It has been two hours since she used the life-extending technique on Xiao Lin.
According to common sense, even if he didn't wake up, his body should slowly recover, and his body should be filled with spiritual power and the blood should start flowing again, but this did not happen.
He was still lying there stiff and cold, unconscious and pale, like a beautiful ice sculpture. Even if Su Li threw himself on him and poured spiritual power into his body over and over again, he still couldn't warm him up.
Despair was like a poisonous snake, biting Su Li's heart bit by bit.
She held back her tears and didn't let herself cry.
At this time, crying is the most useless.
She racked her brains to recall the spells she had learned in the evil spirit realm, and finally made a decision. If Xiao Lin did not wake up within an hour, then she would perform the life-changing technique.
One life for another.
Take her life in exchange for his.
This is the best way she can think of!
While she was thinking wildly, a pair of soft little hands suddenly touched her face.
It's the little kid next to me.
He babbled twice at her, and his clear, black eyes were filled with relief and comfort at this moment.
Seeing such an expression in the eyes of a little kid, Su Li's heart almost melted!
"Xiao Fu..." She reached out and touched his little head, and said hoarsely, "I'm fine!"
Xiaofu is the name Xu Qiang and others gave this baby.
This name is really a bit earthy.
But this little kid is truly a blessed general!
Because of him, she was able to successfully find Xiao Lin.
When she was performing the life-extending spell on Xiao Lin, he had been lying next to Xiao Lin obediently, holding Xiao Lin's hand with his little hand.
Su Li once tried to hold him aside. After all, he was a little kid, and the spells she performed were unique to the evil spirit realm, so she was afraid it would be detrimental to him.
But Xiaofu is very stubborn. He cries as soon as he is hugged and stops when he is let go.
This made Su Li realize that he stayed by Xiao Lin's side voluntarily.
Thinking of some of his previous strange actions, Su Li finally gave in to his temper and let him lie there with Xiao Lin.
The three people lined up on both sides, one person hugged one of Xiao Lin's arms, rested his head on his neck, and fell asleep cuddling each other.
In the dream, Su Li returned to Yuncheng in his previous life in a trance.
But strangely, her vision changed.
Logically speaking, in her dream, she should be looking at the people around her, but in her dream, she saw her own figure running around.
She was wearing men's clothing at that time, and she was short and thin. She looked like a half-grown girl no matter what.
Not only is he small, but he is also timid. He is startled by everything he sees. He also loves to cry, and he often presses his lips and sheds tears.
Su Li dislikes these three shortcomings of his own the most.
She feels that anyone with these three shortcomings is destined to be unlovable.
However, the strange thing is that when she looked at herself like this in her dream, she felt that she was cute inexplicably. She was running around saving people with her two short legs, and she was like a little girl in a fairy tale. Which is the same.
Coincidentally, she was really wearing a new and not old red dress at that time. The dress was a bit too big, so she rolled up the sleeves again and again. The shoes were also a bit too big, so she put a thick layer of padding in them. of cushions.
Wearing this outfit, she ran around Yuncheng to save people, with the two matted hairs flying in the wind, looking festive and funny.
Sometimes while running, my shoes fall off, and I find them again with my bare feet. Sometimes, while trying to save them, my rolled-up sleeves come loose and step on the soles of my feet. When exposed, the sick people couldn't help but laugh.
