She lifted up her skirt, walked up the steps with curiosity, held the door frame with one hand and looked inside.
First I saw a maroon figure, standing next to Xiao Ji, swaying with pearly steps.
Fu Yuanxiao recognized her as Liu Xiangxue at a glance, and the black figure was already half-body attached to Liu Xiangxue.
The black hair was like a vine, tightly wrapped around Xiao Ji's arm.
Fu Yuanxiao's eyes changed when he saw it, and he quickly took out the talisman from his arms, quickly ran over and put it on Liu Xiangxue's back.
"ah!!!"
As a scream rang out, the vine-like hair retracted at an obvious speed as if it had been permed.
Xiao Ji found that he could move his hands and the heat in his body disappeared. He threw Liu Xiangxue out and fell heavily to the ground.
Just now, his arms were suddenly restrained by an unknown force, making him unable to move.
That scene was too weird.
He raised his head and looked at Fu Yuanxiao who suddenly appeared, and saw her beautiful peach blossom eyes wide open, staring at Liu Xiangxue without blinking, as if she was frightened.
It is said that when Fu Yuanxiao was six years old, he became stupid when he saw something he shouldn't have seen. He might even go crazy when frightened.
He didn't want to bother coaxing a lunatic.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ji stood up and walked to her, held her in his arms, and patted her back soothingly.
"Don't be afraid."
Fu Yuanxiao was about to take out another talisman and stick it on Liu Xiangxue, but before she could take out the talisman, she was hugged by someone.
The words "Don't be afraid" made her stunned for a while.
Liu Xiangxue had just regained consciousness and didn't know what had happened. She felt severe pain and arched her body in pain.
Seeing the door open, Xu Yan walked in quickly and saw a scene. When he was about to exit, he caught a glimpse of Liu Xiangxue on the ground and felt that things were not as simple as him.
He asked cautiously: "Your Majesty?"
Xiao Ji ordered: "Send Mrs. Liu back."
"It's the prince." Xu Yan came over, helped Liu Xiangxue up on the ground, and walked out.
Before Liu Xiangxue could figure out the situation, she was forced to follow Xu Yan out. When she turned around, she saw Xiao Ji holding a woman, and her eyes widened.
Xiao Ji's tall figure just blocked the woman's face, and he didn't know what the woman looked like.
Liu Xiangxue, who had just regained consciousness, did not recognize the woman in Xiao Ji's arms as Fu Yuanxiao.
Xiao Ji brought another woman back?
After the people left, only Xiao Ji and Fu Yuanxiao were left in the room.
She watched Liu Xiangxue disappear at the door, while her hand was still holding the unattached talisman.
Xiao Ji's clear voice came from above, "Mrs. Liu suddenly went crazy, aren't you scared?"
Fu Yuanxiao shook his head, "No."
When I first saw Ah Piao, I was scared to death. After seeing more of her, I wasn't so scared anymore.
Xiao Ji then let her go and asked warmly: "Why are you here?"
Fu Yuanxiao remembered the purpose of coming to the study and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I came here to ask if your husband is free tomorrow, so we can go buy new year's goods together."
Xiao Ji thought that New Year's Eve was only five days away, and he would leave all the New Year's goods in the house to the housekeeper.
What New Year's goods will the little fool buy?
"I am free tomorrow. If you want to buy anything, I will go with you."
Fu Yuanxiao got the correct message and yawned, "The husband will continue to be busy, and I will go back to rest."
Xiao Ji nodded, "Well, it's dark at night and the roads are slippery, so walk carefully."
"I understand." Fu Yuanxiao walked out with brisk steps.
Xiao Ji sat down on the chair and recalled the scene that had just happened. Liu Xiangxue's actions seemed to be controlled by someone. Could it be that he was controlled by drugs?
Just when Xiao Ji was confused, he saw Fu Yuanxiao leaving and coming back.
"What, is there anything else?"
Fu Yuanxiao came to Xiao Ji, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Husband, Mrs. Liu is entangled with unclean things. Husband, you should be careful."
Xiao Ji frowned when he heard this and glanced sideways at Fu Yuanxiao, seeing seriousness written all over his fair face.
The little fool started talking crazy again.
Fu Yuanxiao took out the talisman from his arms and handed it to him, "Husband, you can wear this talisman close to your body for self-defense."
Xiao Ji took the talisman in her hand.
"I'm going back." When Fu Yuanxiao saw him taking the talisman, he turned around and walked out with brisk steps.
Xiao Ji looked at the talisman in his hand. It was roughly the same as the last talisman.
He had seen a lot of deceitful Taoist priests, but this was the first time he had seen a silly little Taoist priest.
He smiled. Did the little fool really think that he was a Taoist priest?
When Xu Yan came back, he ordered: "Go and find out who Liu Xiangxue has met recently?"
"I obey my orders." Xu Yan exited.
When Xu Yan came back, it was just after the first watch.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Liu has not been in contact with anyone recently. She went out twice, both to buy new clothes. The day before yesterday, she went to Chu Yuwan, and there was no unusual behavior and no strangers were seen."
Xiao Ji frowned. Liu Xiangxue would not do such a bold thing unless she was controlled.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Liu Xiangxue at all times. If there is anything unusual, tell me immediately."
Xu Yan responded.
The next day, the sun shone brightly and the snow on the roof melted.
Xiao Ji accompanied Fu Yuanxiao when they went out to buy new year's goods. They took the carriage that was used as a dowry by the Fu family.
Xiao Ji looked at it carefully and marveled at the material and workmanship design of the carriage.
Fu Yunting is not only rich, but also very smart.
The New Year is approaching, and there are more than twice as many vendors setting up stalls on the streets as usual.
The variety of New Year's goods in the shops is dazzling.
People coming out to buy new year's goods crowded the streets, and there was a New Year's atmosphere everywhere.
Xiao Ji didn't like the excitement. He lowered his eyes and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, who looked excited. He looked at this and that, they were all gadgets.
He glanced at the package in Wei Qing's hand, which contained some food.
Fu Yuanxiao happily raised the two small-faced figures in front of him, "Husband, look, do these two small-faced figures look like you and me?"
Xiao Ji looked at the two figures in her hands, one was a little girl wearing pink clothes with sideburns, and the other was a young man wearing moon-white clothes and a jade crown.
Looking at Fu Yuanxiao's pink little face, his peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles.
Innocent, that's how she is.
"picture."
"I think so too." Fu Yuanxiao looked at the face mask in his hand and handed the girl's mask to Xiao Ji, "Husband, this is for you."
Xiao Ji held the girl in front of him. He didn't like these useless things.
Fu Yuanxiao returned home with a full load and no need to worry about snacks during the Chinese New Year.
She suddenly thought of what happened last night and felt a little uneasy.
"Orb."
Bao Zhu was packing her clothes when she heard the sound, put down the clothes in her hands and came over, "Girl, what do you want to do with calling me slave?"
Fu Yuanxiao asked: "Where does Mrs. Liu live?"
Baozhu said: "Cui Yuxuan, what's wrong, girl?"
"I'll go find her." Fu Yuanxiao picked up the hand warmer and walked out.
Bao Zhu was so frightened that she immediately stopped her, "Girl, what are you doing with her?"
Fu Yuanxiao said seriously: "I'm afraid that the long-haired ghost will harm people."
"Girl, let's not talk about this, okay? I will bring you something delicious to eat." Baozhu knew that Fu Yuanxiao loved sweets, so he went to the back room and brought out a few pieces of hibiscus cake.
"Girl, eat."
Fu Yuanxiao took the hibiscus cake and didn't eat it in a hurry. He knew that Baozhu didn't believe it, but that Ah Piao was not a good nuisance. If he didn't get rid of it, not only would Liu Xiangxue die, but he would also harm others.
"Then I'll go find the prince."
This time Baozhu didn't stop her, "I will accompany the girl."
When Fu Yuanxiao came to the study, Wei Qing was guarding the door. After he informed her, she walked in holding a hand warmer.
Incense was lit in the study, and as soon as I entered, I smelled a faint fragrance.
"Husband, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Ji looked at Fu Yuanxiao who walked in, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Fu Yuanxiao walked to Xiao Ji's right hand side and stood, took out a talisman from his arms and handed it to him, and said seriously: "Husband, please find a way to put this talisman into Mrs. Liu's clothes. She is not clean." Something got tangled up in it, and I'm afraid it might harm someone."
Xiao Ji glanced at Fu Yuanxiao and saw that she had a serious look on her face, and then glanced at the talisman in her hand. He reasoned with the little fool, so he might as well just follow her words.
He took the talisman and said, "I will."
Fu Yuanxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel relieved if my husband helps me, so I'll go back first."
Xiao Ji: "Yeah."
After Fu Yuanxiao left, Xiao Ji crumpled the talisman into a ball without even looking at it and threw it into the wastebasket.
During dinner, Xiao Ji came to Chu Yuwan's restaurant and saw Fu Yuanxiao sitting there waiting for him. When he saw them, he shouted, "Husband, you are done."
"Yeah." Xiao Ji walked over and sat down.
There were six dishes and one soup on the table, and the bowls were steaming.
Baozhu filled two bowls of rice and placed them in front of Xiao Ji and Fu Yuanxiao.
Halfway through the meal, Xu Yan walked in and said in Xiao Ji's ear: "A dead person was found in the house."
Xiao Ji frowned when he heard this.
Fu Yuanxiao ate the meat and raised his head to look at Xiao Ji, his eyes full of doubts.
Xiao Ji put down his chopsticks and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "I will handle the matter. You don't have to wait for me."
After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
After leaving Chu Yuwan, Xiao Ji asked: "What on earth is going on?"
Xu Yan said: "The body was found near the rockery in the backyard. The person who died was Wang Erzhu in the mansion. He had no grudges on weekdays. The cause of death is unknown, but..."
Xiao Ji asked: "But what?"
Xu Yan said: "My subordinates found scratches and kiss marks on Wang Erzhu's body. He must have been looking for a woman before he died."
Xiao Ji ordered: "Don't make any noise about this matter and investigate thoroughly in secret."
"I understand," Xu Yan replied.
But the matter has not yet been clarified, and people are dying one after another in the house, all of them men.
In the study, Xiao Ji looked solemn. He didn't take it seriously at first, but one after another people died, with traces of love on their bodies before they died, so he had to take it seriously.
"Haven't you found any clues yet?"
Xu Yan said: "There are no clues at all. Except that the four of them are all male, there is nothing in common and no enmity."
Xiao Ji said coldly: "Continue to investigate."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Yan turned around and strode out.
People died one after another in the house, which was fine during the day, but at night, the cold wind howled like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, making people panic.
"Four of them died, and I don't know how they died."
"Who knows? Maybe I've made an enemy."
After dinner, Fu Yuanxiao went to find Xiao Ji in the study. When he passed through the moon cave door, he heard the sound of conversation, which sounded like two men.
She heard the sound and went away, and through the light in the corridor, she saw two men walking with lanterns and talking quietly.
A thirty-minute countdown to death was written above one of the men's heads.
