I made the villain right.

For a moment, the air around was filled with warmth.

Shi Jin suddenly remembered something and said, "Ah Yu, let me ask you, if I were not Shi Jin, the daughter of the general, would you still stay with me like this?"

There was a hint of barely perceptible worry in her eyes.

When Fan Hua heard this, his face froze, obviously he had not expected her to ask this question.

But he quickly came to his senses and stared into Shi Jin's eyes, as if his gaze could see into her heart.

He understood that since she asked him this, she must be doubting his feelings for her and wanted to know her true thoughts.

So he answered without hesitation: "Silly boy, I fall in love with you just because you are you, regardless of your status."

When Shi Jin heard this answer, his frown relaxed and the corners of his mouth raised in a happy arc again.

Shi Jin raised his head slightly and looked at the vast night sky with a vague look in his eyes.

She never dared to tell anyone around her that she was a spirit from another world.

Now that the original owner has returned, she has to face the reality and speak frankly to him.

She cautiously probed, "Then do you think there are such absurd and bizarre things in this world where souls from other worlds can attach themselves to other people?"

Fan Hua also followed her gaze and looked at the starry sky.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The world is vast and boundless, and there are countless strange things happening. Who can say for sure that there are none? Perhaps in some unknown corner, such a strange thing is happening."

"Ah Yu, if I tell you frankly that I am originally from another world and my soul happened to be attached to Shi Jin's body, would you be afraid or think of me as a monster?"

Shi Jin stared at Fan Hua, his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, and he felt a little nervous.

When Fan Hua heard this, his body paused and his eyes were full of astonishment.

His mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the sudden words blocked his throat and he was unable to respond for a moment.

Not far away, Shi Xiaomian was strolling leisurely. She happened to see this scene and was startled. She hurriedly shouted, "Crown Princess!"

This sound instantly cut off the two people's thoughts.

Shi Jin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shi Xiaomian staring at them. She asked in confusion, "Miss Shi, is there something wrong?"

"I have something to discuss with the Crown Princess."

Fan Hua frowned when he heard this, feeling displeased by Shi Xiaomian's sudden interruption.

He was about to say something, but Shi Jin beat him to it.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Shi Jin immediately stood up and said simply.

Fan Hua looked at Shi Jin and Shi Xiaomian's receding backs, a trace of confusion appearing on his face.

He murmured in a low voice: "No... Is Mianmian too polite to her?"

Suddenly, he remembered Shi Jin's unusual words just now, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

After Shi Jin followed Shi Xiaomian into the room, he said bluntly: "The time is not right yet, let's talk about our affairs with Fan Hua for now."

"What was the timing?"

Shi Xiaomian deliberately said mysteriously: "The secret cannot be revealed."

Shi Jin looked puzzled.

Why are you still acting mysterious?

Shi Xiaomian suddenly urged her to leave and said, "Go back quickly, or he will be angry."

Ok?

Who is he referring to? Is it Ayu?

For some reason, she felt that the original owner in front of her was a little different from the original owner she had met before.

Is it her imagination?

Shi Jin walked out with a bewildered look on his face.

After returning to the original place and seeing Fanhua, she put the matter behind her.

"Mianmian, what you just said..."

"Ayu, what I just said was just a joke, don't take it seriously." Shi Jin quickly explained, interrupting him directly.

There was a flash of surprise in Fan Hua's eyes, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at Shi Jin.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Is she hiding something from me?

"Mianmian, it seems like you like joking a lot today?"

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment, then said with a half-chuckle, "Life is boring, so I just make some jokes occasionally to comfort myself."

However, Fan Hua's brows were still furrowed, with some doubt and consideration in his eyes.

Maybe I'm overthinking it. Mianmian would never lie to me.

Shi Jin saw that Fan Hua was still frowning, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Fan Hua is smart, and Shi Jin is afraid that he might notice something, so she has to pretend to be angry and cover it up.

Suddenly, there was a hint of anger in her eyes: "What? Are you doubting me?"

Fan Hua looked panicked and quickly explained: "No, I don't disbelieve you."

"I don't listen! I don't listen!"

Shi Jin quickly covered his ears, acting like an unreasonable and troublemaker.

"Humph! You don't cherish what you have. Let's sleep in separate rooms tonight so that we can both have peace and quiet!"

Shi Jin crossed his arms over his chest, turned sideways, and no longer looked at Fan Hua. He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Then she stood up and walked away quickly.

When he turned around, the smile on his lips seemed to be unable to be hidden and spread out wildly.

Fan Hua was left alone there, looking stunned.

He was confused by this sudden quarrel.

"Why did this cause such a quarrel?"

After a moment, he looked at the deep night and let out a long sigh.

Before returning to his room to rest, he went to Shi Jin's door to seek forgiveness.

"Mianmian, I was wrong, please don't be angry."

Shi Jin lay in bed, looking at the figure outside the door, and shouted: "I am not angry, it is late at night, you should go back and rest early."

After hearing this, Fan Hua was still worried and was planning to stay outside the house with him for the night.

Shi Jin saw that he was still outside and advised him, "Ah Yu, don't stand at the door, go back quickly!"

Fearing that he would not give up, she threatened and lured him: "If I see you still outside the door tomorrow, I will ignore you."

Fan Hua was afraid of provoking Shi Jin's anger again, so he compromised and said, "Okay, I'll go back to my room first, and you should have a good rest."

The next day.

When Shi Jin woke up, he heard that Fan Hua had entered the palace to meet the emperor.

Inside the octagonal pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Xu Wusheng sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with majestic dragon patterns, exuding the dignity of an emperor.

Fan Hua stood straight, and his moon-black brocade robe made him look imposing. When he saw Xu Wusheng, he bowed respectfully.

He looked calm and said, "Your Majesty, I found a way to solve the Blood Evil Puppet yesterday."

Xu Wusheng's eyes lit up instantly, and he raised his hand to support her, saying anxiously, "Sir, please sit down quickly and tell me in detail!"

Fan Hua sat down peacefully, his brows slightly furrowed, "The Blood Evil Puppet is brutal and bloodthirsty. Its eating of human flesh may not be caused by poisoning. It may be related to the poisonous insect hidden in its body."

"Gu insect?"

Xu Wusheng's brows tightened instantly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"No wonder all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital couldn't diagnose the cause. It turns out there is such a strange thing hidden in the body."

Fan Hua nodded slightly, his face solemn: "There are many poisonous insects in this Blood Evil Puppet. If we want to treat it, we have to find a way to draw out the poisonous insects. However, the medicinal materials needed in this process are rare and complicated, and the cost is high. Your Majesty needs to make a decision."

Xu Wusheng pondered for a moment, his eyes firm, "The matter of the Blood Evil Puppet has caused panic among the people of Kyoto. Now the only way to calm the people is to do our best to treat these victims. Prince, just tell me what medicinal materials you need, and I will let the Imperial Hospital do its best to prepare them."

"I will send someone to deliver the prescription as soon as possible."

Xu Wusheng stood up and said politely, "I am busy with official duties and cannot accompany the prince for a long time. When we are free soon, Ying'er and I will invite the prince and his wife to have fun together."

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!" He said respectfully and humbly.

"You are too polite, my lord. In terms of seniority, I have to call you brother."

When Fan Hua heard this, he bowed slightly, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and showed just the right amount of fear and humility on his face.

"The etiquette between the monarch and his subjects cannot be abolished. I am honored to be able to help Your Majesty solve his problems. I am very honored. I cannot bear the title of elder brother."

There was a hint of intimacy and respect in Xu Wusheng's voice, but his eyes revealed the majesty and depth of an emperor.

When Xu turned around and left silently, the pale yellow sachet tied around her waist fell to the ground.

Fan Hua was sharp-eyed and reminded him, "Your Majesty, your sachet has fallen to the ground."

Xu Wusheng looked down after hearing what he said, then bent down to pick it up, held it gently in his hand, and patted the dust off as if he was carefully protecting it, with tenderness in his eyes.

"This is the purse Ying'er gave me. Now that the situation is stable, it's time to put Ying'er and I on the agenda. When Ying'er and I get married, I will definitely drink with the prince."

"Okay, then I would like to congratulate Your Majesty on your happy marriage." Fan Hua responded with a smile, and that smile contained a sincere blessing.

But deep in his eyes, there was an imperceptible thought.

It’s just a sachet. If he wants it, Mianmian will give it to him.

As they walked further away, Eunuch Hong beside Xu Wusheng leaned forward and said:

"I heard that the prince had been living away from home for many years and had become cruel and unruly. At first, I was worried that he would lose his manners in front of Your Majesty, but now I see that he is respectful and humble in his words and deeds, and he has a sense of propriety. There is nothing wrong with him. I was worried for no reason."

Xu Wusheng's eyes revealed a hint of depth: "Rumors in the world are not to be believed. He is the son of the Holy King. Like father, like son. He has the blood of the Holy King flowing in his bones. He has inherited the heritage and style of the family. How could he be so bad?"

Eunuch Hong smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty thinks highly of the Holy Lord Prince."

"I am now able to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor, thanks to the great efforts of the Holy Lord and the Crown Prince. I have always respected talents and only employ people of merit. The Crown Prince is resourceful and far-sighted, and he can always help me solve problems at critical moments. He is a rare talent, and I naturally value him."

Xu Wusheng's voice was low and firm, and his eyes showed both admiration and fear for Fan Hua.

Fan Hua is a man of great talent, so it is better to be his friend than his enemy.

If he became an enemy, he would be a serious threat. He knew this very well.

The fate of Xu Wuchen and Qin Yixian is a lesson for us.
