107 Ghostly Spirit (Essence)

  After the storm, the room is in disarray...

  The candle on the candlestick has burned to its very end, only a faint light struggling to emit its last rays, illuminating about five or six parts of the room clearly.

  The mosquito net hangs down, reflecting the clothes scattered all over the floor and the extremely disheveled bed.

  However, on that messy big bed, at this moment, a man and a woman were quietly facing each other.

  Four eyes met, the woman's watery eyes contained a thick anger, her gaze towards the man was like a cold wind blowing in the depths of winter, making one's heart tremble.

  Facing the hatred in the woman's eyes, the man's deep and handsome eagle eyes also flashed with deep self-blame and guilt.

  Especially when looking at the woman's hands, although they were raised high to cover her chest, but the dark red hickeys on the exposed skin and the bruises made the man's heart ache. He secretly blamed himself for being too rough earlier.

  But actually he didn't want to either.

  Originally, I was a person with strong self-control, but once I met this woman in front of me, I completely lost control.

  Especially when he thought that she was thinking of someone else in her heart, but said words that disgusted herself, a devil surged up in his heart, only wanting to vent his anger fiercely and completely possess her.

  However, once he had a taste of her sweetness, he became deeply entrenched and couldn't control himself. That night, he forgot how many times he had taken her.

  She was so sweet that he was delighted and forgot his worries, lingering on and on, only this time forever stayed in this wonderful moment.

  But dreams are beautiful, and reality is something he cannot accept.

  As he looked at her gazing at him with a resentful gaze, Gui Mei's heart was in agony, and the guilt in his eyes grew thicker.

  Unfortunately, facing his eyes with a guilty conscience, Han Xi's expression remained unchanged, and he became even more disgusted with him.

  This damn man is not only overbearing and tyrannical but must also be a stallion type.

  She just feels that her whole body aches now, and there is no place that is intact.

  She had forgotten how many times she had been tormented by him, and all she felt was that her bones were almost scattered. So, for the culprit in front of her, if her gaze could kill people now, he would have been flogged to death by his own gaze!

  "My pupil, I..."

  "Ghost, I really want to ask you, what kind of grudge do you have against the royal family?!"

  Interrupting Gui Mei's words, Han Xi suddenly asked in a cold voice.

  Her voice was icy cold, but the question was sharp enough to shock the ghost's heart. The eagle-like eyes widened in astonishment and stared at Han Xi's pupils.

  "What?!"

  Why is she asking like this?

  Under such circumstances, if it were another woman, she might have made a big fuss, but she was completely different.

  Moreover, her question was extremely sharp, and her watery eyes, at this moment, were piercing with insight into human nature.

  In an instant, Gui Mei's heart panicked, and her throat felt like it was blocked by something, suddenly becoming speechless.

  The ghostly figure dodged the gaze of Han Xi's sharp eyes with a hint of embarrassment, but that didn't mean Han Xi would let him off so easily.

  Actually, this problem has been hidden in her heart for a long time.

  In fact, she should have realized this point long ago. After all, in the words of ghosts and demons, as long as it involves people related to the royal family, they will become extremely sensitive and full of deep hatred.

  Perhaps even he himself had never realized it, but she did.

  However, she thought those things were none of her business, after all, she had already left that place. But now that it involves Xun and Xiao Ran, she can't just sit back and do nothing.

  After all, Gui Mei is the leader of the assassin's guild, Luo Sha Ge. If he really wanted to deal with the imperial family, then Xing Xiao Ran and the others would definitely be in danger.

  She didn't want them to get hurt, after all they were the people she cared about most since coming into this world.

  Thinking of this, Han Xi Tong spoke again.

  "You just said that because I'm the woman the Seventh Prince has been searching for, they want to kill me. How much do you hate them, that you won't even spare a woman? Are you doing this to make them suffer?"

  Facing Han Xi's aggressive words, Gui Mei's face sank, looking somewhat disheveled and obscure, but she only pursed her lips and remained silent.

  "You're speaking, why aren't you saying anything?"

  Looking at Gui Mie's silence, Han Xi furrowed her brow.

  Because she knew that Gui Mei was a dangerous man, those who offended him had no good end, let alone her worrying about Xuan Xiao Ran and the others.

  With his unpredictable personality as a ghost, if he wanted to deal with Xun and Xiao Ran, he would definitely use any method. So, she absolutely cannot ignore him.

  The ghost seemed to know that Han Xi Tong was concerned about Xuan Xiao Ran, and his face looked very ugly.

  "Mind your own business, this is between me and them."

  "You want to harm them? I must intervene in this matter!"

  Han Xi Tong was excited and sat up in bed. Her long hair, like water, fell down her shoulders as she moved.

  The quilt that had been tightly covering her chest also slipped down at this moment, and in an instant, the spring light burst forth. The demonic eagle's eyes widened, and one tongue was dry, while the other's hot flow quickly condensed under his body...

  But before he could react, he felt a sharp pain on his cheek.

  With a "crack", the sound was crisp and clear, shattering all the ripples that had just formed.

  "Uh..."

  A ghostly figure loomed, and in his ear, he heard a cold, piercing voice with a warning.

  "Ghosts and demons, I absolutely will not allow you to harm them."

  When Gui Mei heard Han Xi Tong's words, she remained silent. She only gave him a complex look before quickly picking up her clothes and putting them on, then disappeared into the wind.

  As for his gaze when he was about to leave, Han Xi's eyes were puzzled, but she also knew that he wasn't someone who would give up so easily...

  ……

  "Ah, father, emperor, great elder brother, how did you all come!?"

  As he suddenly saw the familiar figure appearing in his line of sight, Yang Lie's eyes widened in fright, and his beautifully shaped lips were stretched wide enough to swallow a sparrow!

  Compared to Xiang Yanglie's astonishment, Xiang Xiaoran beside her was equally disbelieving.

  "Hmph! If I hadn't come, who knows how much longer you would have continued to make a racket!"

  Seeing his two sons with their eyes wide open in shock, Jing Huan, dressed in a brocade robe, had a slightly sunken face that was normally steady and dignified without losing its majesty. His tone also carried a strong sense of blame.

  Upon hearing this, Xuan Yang Lie and Xuan Xiao Ran Jun's faces turned red with embarrassment, as if they were naughty children being scolded by an adult.

  Only Xuan Huang's back, Xuan Tianqi, still had a warm and gentle smile on his face, like a spring breeze, making people feel warm in their hearts.

  "It's been a long time since we last met, you all look thinner, it must be tough out there!"

  Tiffany expressed her concerns and also spoke the truth.

  Three brothers have been emotionally close since childhood. In just a few months, when they meet again, the meticulous Jing Tianqi naturally sees the difference in his own brothers.

  Especially Jingyang Lie's slightly emaciated face and pale lip color seemed to have suffered some serious injury.

  When Tianqi heard the words, Yanglie and Xiaoran just smiled warmly. On the other hand, Huang, who was originally pretending to be majestic, wanted to teach a lesson to these two unruly sons. However, when he heard Tianqi's words, his heart suddenly tightened, and he also sensed Yanglie's abnormality.

  "What's wrong with you? You look so pale?"

  Although his tone was severe, it wasn't lacking in concern. Jingyang's heart warmed up upon hearing it, but he shook his head and said.

  "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Father."

  "Hmph, you don't even know how to take care of yourself when you're out, this is what you get!"

  Although it was said so, Jinghuang still specially let the casual imperial physician help Jingyanglie take a look.

  It's fine if you don't look closely, but as soon as he took a closer look, the imperial physician immediately said that Cui Yang had suffered sword injuries in the past and was now only just recovering from a serious illness.

  Jing Huang and Jing Tianqi's faces changed drastically, and Jing Yanglie had no choice but to reveal the assassinations that had occurred over the past few months.

  Upon hearing this, Yun Huang and Yun Tian Qi's faces immediately turned grave.

  After all, they sneaked out this time because they heard that the Sixth Prince had encountered an assassin and was fortunately unharmed.

  There's also the matter of Huang Gong Xiang being stabbed, and all these things added up are somehow related.

  Xing Xiao Ran said, the one who assassinated them was the master of Luo Cha Ge. In the end, who bribed the people of Luo Cha Ge to dare to assassinate even the emperor and his son?

  One by one, problems surface, leaving everyone in doubt, yet unable to find a solution.

  Finally, Yang Lie thought of something and opened his mouth to ask Yang Huang.

  "Your Majesty, you and the Crown Prince have gone undercover this time. You're not just trying to catch us returning, are you?"

  This can't be! They still haven't found Xi Tong.

  It's strange to say, they received a message that Xi Tong was in this place, but the clue ended here.

  It's as if someone had interrupted them.

  And yet, in this entire White Feather Town, they dug three feet underground but couldn't find the person they had been searching for several months. Could it be that Xi Tong has already left this place!?

  At this thought, both Xuan Yang Lie and Xuan Xiao Ran felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

  They had been searching for several months, during which they encountered another assassination, and it kept dragging on. Hui's eyes seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them. Was it possible that in this lifetime, they would never see her again?

  Thinking of this, both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts.

  Looking at his two sons with their heads hung low in despair, Jing Huan felt a sense of frustration and disappointment.

  However, he has also experienced romance, especially at their age, they are prone to impulsiveness and have too many beautiful illusions about love. Just like him back then...

  She let out a soft sigh before speaking up.

  "One is to bring you back, I came here for another matter..."

  ……

  "How's the investigation going?"

  "Reporting back to the Lord, I have investigated and found that the Emperor and the Crown Prince are traveling incognito. They have already arrived at White Feather Town, where they will meet with the Seventh Prince. It is said that in two days' time, they will head to the White Feather Mountain Villa to see the Sixth Prince."

  A corner of Baiyu Town, a delicate stone bridge, and houses stretching continuously.

  In the streets and alleys, from time to time, there are children's laughter and chasing shadows.

  On a street corner, there was also an old man in his sixties, pushing a small cart and selling hot steamed buns, attracting the attention of passersby.

  At this moment, in a teahouse on a street corner, a man dressed in black stood facing the street, his expression solemn.

  A cool breeze blew up his hair, creating a beautiful arc behind him.

  That black outfit matches his cold aura perfectly, always making it difficult for people to get close to him.

  However, behind the man, a man in brown clothes was respectfully reporting something to the man in black.

  "What does the Prime Minister plan to do?"

  After a long deliberation, the man in black seemed to have made up his mind and said in a cold voice.

  "In the place where the road from Baiyu Town to Baiyu Mountain passes through, set up an ambush and kill!"

  An icy voice, like a sound from hell, sent shivers down one's spine.

  The man in brown clothes heard this and immediately turned around and left.

  But the man in black still stood quietly there.

  His deep and piercing eagle eyes gazed out at the heavily overcast sky.

  Just now, the weather was still good, in the blink of an eye, the temperature dropped a lot.

  A gust of cold wind blew by, but the man seemed to fear no severe cold.

  It's as if he is always surrounded by a layer of frost at all times.

  But everyone only saw the majestic aura emanating from the man's body, yet no one saw the flashing sorrow and faint longing in the depths of his eyes...

  However, as the man sank into his own sorrow, he did not notice that behind him, not far away, there was a small figure standing upright, listening to their conversation without missing a single word.

  My heart is trembling with excitement, worry and joy.

  She was excited and delighted.

  Jiang Tianqi is also in Baoyu Town!

  It's been several months since she last saw them, and now they're all here at once. How could she not be excited?!

  Today, because I saw that Xuan Mei Chen has been studying hard for days, I was afraid he would exhaust himself, so I let him relax first. After all, learning can't be rushed, it needs to be done slowly.

  Then, he took Xuan Mei Chen down the mountain together, planning to play around, and unexpectedly heard such shocking things in this small teahouse.

  But amidst Han Xi's excitement, there was also shock and worry.

  Because of Guī Méi's last sentence.

  His guts are really big, he even wants to kill the emperor and the prince, does he really not fear death?

  Even if he is not afraid of death, however, if the emperor's son were to die, this world would likely be thrown into chaos!

  The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, causing Han Xi Tong to involuntarily take a cold breath. It was this cold breath that made the man, who had been lost in thought, suddenly come back to his senses. His deep and piercing eagle-like eyes instantly transformed into an invisible force, shooting towards Han Xi Tong.

  Although there was a wooden board in front of him, the ghost's sharp eyes seemed to have a piercing power that shot straight through the thin board, making Han Xi's heart skip a beat.

  Lips pursed, unexpectedly discovered!

  However, she didn't panic, but instead took steady, slow steps, slowly walking out of that wooden door.

  Her red lips curled up into a sneer as she said in a cold voice.

  "I didn't think you'd really be so bold."

  "Your eyes, it's you!"

  Upon seeing the familiar figure, a gleam of joy flashed across Guī Mèi's face, but after hearing her words, his smile froze.

  "Did you all hear that?"

  "Not bad!"

  Han Xi Tong said as it was.

  With a firm gaze, filled with incomprehension and reproach.

  At this, the ghost's thin lips pursed, and his eagle eyes gazed deeply at Han Xi's pupils for a moment before slowly turning away, looking again at the heavy sky, and suddenly asking.

  "On such a cold day, if it were those noble princes, what do you think they would be doing at this moment?"

  "What?"

  Hearing Gui Mei suddenly ask such a strange question made Han Xi's eyes widen in confusion.

  Her eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement because she didn't know why the ghost would suddenly ask such a strange question.

  However, she vaguely knew that Guimiao had something to say, so she didn't speak again and quietly waited for Guimiao to continue speaking.

  The ghost seemed to notice her surprise and confusion, and after a bitter smile, continued to speak.

  Those arrogant princes, from the moment they were born, were destined to enjoy unparalleled wealth and luxury. In their childhood, they were carefree and wore silk and jade, with a large group of palace maids and eunuchs serving them. They ate delicacies from mountains and seas, wore silk and satin, and if one of them was unhappy, a large crowd would constantly think of ways to please them, because... they were the sons of the emperor, flowing with the most precious blood in this world.

  At this point, the ghost suddenly paused, and its tone changed, with a hint of sadness and desolation.

  "Did he know that he had another son, with the same blood flowing through his veins, who was born but suffered unimaginable hardships from a young age, relying on his mother for survival, watching as she grew thinner and thinner due to her struggles to make a living, until she finally passed away in despair..."

  He didn't know that he had a son who shared the same blood as him, and how much his son hated him for his ruthless abandonment. What his son really wanted was not those endless riches, but his recognition, a warm word from him, wanting him to acknowledge his mother, so that she could be happy for just one day...

  In the end, Gui Mie's voice was low and mournful, Han Xi couldn't tell if he was crying or what, she just felt that at this moment, he was like a wounded beast, silently grieving and shedding tears.

  So lonely, desolate, and pitiful...

  But what shocked Han Xi the most was Gu Mei's words just now.

  She's no fool. Even if the ghost didn't mention names, from those events linked together and his hatred for the imperial family, Han Xi suddenly guessed what was going on.

  Her mind was shocked by the sudden thought, and Han Xi's whole body was like a thunderbolt on flat ground, stiffening on the spot. Her eyes widened in shock, her small mouth opened, and she involuntarily covered it with her hand, taking a cold breath.

  It turned out that the ghost's identity was actually...
