Neverland

Just after the leak, the red candles in the house were half-burned, and the wax dripped down the groove of the lampstand into the small box containing the spices at the bottom.The solidified incense block is smoked by the heat source, transforming the originally unpleasant smell of wax oil into a subtle floral fragrance.

Liu Yingying's liking for fragrances is extraordinary. In addition to the special candlesticks, there is also a small copper magpie stove next to the soft place where she rests, and the priceless incense powder is slowly burning inside.

It was late at night, but Liu Yingying hadn't gone to bed yet. She took off her hairpin and heavy makeup, and leaned on the bed with her long hair and half-dry hair. One leg was casually resting on the side of the bed, and she was stepping on someone's shoulder. .

In the half-hidden night, the thin man was wearing a servant's uniform embroidered with dark thread, kneeling on the edge of the cave, calmly massaging Liu Yingying's calf.

The man's slender fingers are holding the woman's well-shaped calf, and are pressing gently and slowly.

Liu Yingying was lying on the soft pillow, lazily resting on her arm, enjoying the man's service with half-closed eyes.From the day she entered the palace, the other party has been with her for six or seven years, and she has everything she likes and dislikes. Even doing such a simple little thing is very appropriate, and the way is just right, which really makes Liu Yingying feel uncomfortable.

The delicate-faced woman was like an elegant cat, she tilted her head and rubbed her arms, hooked her plain white toes, and rubbed the cloth on the man's shoulder with the sole of her foot gently.

"When are you going to do something?" Liu Yingying asked.

"Respond to your mother's words, I will go as soon as the maidservant's time is over." The man raised his face slightly, half of his face that was originally hidden in the darkness was illuminated by the candlelight, it was the man who fought Yan Cen in Song Xueyao's mourning hall.

"It won't go wrong this time." Liu Yingying leisurely found a comfortable position, and said with a smile: "Song Xueyao can't stop for a few days, and the imperial doctor will be buried in three days. ——If you don’t succeed tonight, I will be very upset.”

Liu Yingying spoke softly, with an obvious smile in her words, she sounded cute and cute, but the man kneeling on the ground could hear a cold sweat, the hairs on his back stood up, and he wanted to get goose bumps all over his body.

The man forced a smile, and quickly expressed his loyalty: "Don't worry, ma'am, there was only a small accident last time... No one thought that the eldest prince could hide in the mourning hall. This time, the servants must be more careful, and such troubles will never happen again. "

The smoke curling up from the magpie incense burner became thinner, probably because there was less incense powder in it.The maid who had been standing quietly at the side glanced at the direction of the incense burner, and was about to go up to add some incense powder, but was stopped by Liu Yingying with a wave.

The big palace lady was probably used to being taciturn, so Wei Wei saluted, then turned her head and stood back, like a silent sculpture.

Liu Yingying took out a slender gold drill from under the pillow, leaned out while pinching the plum blossom handle on the top, picked the powder box on the magpie's back, and spread the unburned powder all over the iron box before she was satisfied. Withdrawing his hand, he turned around and raised the man's chin with a gold drill.

"It's just a little doll, so it's worth your caution. Song Xueyao is dead, so there's nothing to be afraid of such a little thing." Liu Yingying flicked her nails, and her bright red long nails were shining brightly under the candlelight: "Do you become more mother-in-law as you get older, huh?"

The man raised his face obediently, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, he could only promise with a poignant smile: "My servant promises that after tonight, I will never disturb my mother again."

The man was dripping with hatred, but he couldn't say what happened that night.If Liu Yingying knew that besides the little prince, there were eagle dogs from the Pingjian Camp in the mourning hall that day, his skin would have to be peeled off.Although the man doesn't know the details of the other party, but as long as the other party does not move for a day, he will not dare to move, so he can only swallow this bitter fruit forcefully, his teeth itching with hatred.

Liu Yingying curled her lips, looking like a little girl in trouble.

"Then why don't you go quickly." Liu Yingying shook the golden braze and said with a smile, "If you can't get it back, you don't have to come back."

The man put her calf back on the couch respectfully, knelt down and kowtowed, and said softly: "...Yes."

He walked on his knees and pushed back two steps, and walked around behind the screen before getting up straight and walking outside.

There was a soft creaking sound from the door, and the cool night wind rushed in in an instant, swallowed and assimilated by the warm breath of the room.

The palace maid who had been silent all this time came up to take over the man's position. She knelt on the couch and stretched out her hand to put the crooked thin quilt on Liu Yingying's waist and abdomen back into place.

"It's getting late, go to bed, ma'am." The palace maid advised softly, her voice was very strange, it was not soft and delicate like ordinary women, but showed an abnormal hoarseness.

Liu Yingying covered her lips and yawned. Before she could speak, the candle on the candlestick made a crisp sound, and the lamp flower burst.

"It looks like something good is going to happen." Liu Yingying said.

The grand maid lowered her head and did not speak.

However, in the next second, the door, which was closed so nicely, suddenly swayed, making a teeth-stinging rubbing sound.The night wind that had been blocked just now swept in and blew the candle three times in an instant, and it seemed that it was about to go out.

"What's going on-" Liu Yingying frowned dissatisfiedly, and complained: "You don't know how to lock the door for useless things when you go out."

The big maid didn't wait for her order, she stood up and gave a blessing, and hurriedly went to check the situation.

The pitiful candle still couldn't hold on to it in the end, and finally a wisp of green smoke came out in a flash of light, and it was completely extinguished.There were other candlesticks lit outside, but most of them were blocked by the screen, and the candlelight was reflected by a thick layer of gauze, leaving very little light source.

As the candle was extinguished, there was a soft knock at the door—as if someone had walked in.

"Trash." Liu Yingying yelled with some unease: "Can't you see through every door - talk!"

However, her obedient lady-in-waiting did not answer her this time, and a slender shadow shot from outside, refracting bit by bit on the screen made of gauze.

——The opponent is approaching.

Liu Yingying frowned, clenched the soft quilt under her hand.

"Someone-"

Before Liu Yingying finished her sentence, she felt a black shadow flashing past in front of her, and she was shocked and angry for a while.

The candlelight outside the screen flickered for a moment before returning to normal, but Liu Yingying was speechless—the visitor stood silently behind her and covered her mouth, the opponent's hand was rough and strong, Pressing half of her face and lifting it up easily, the woman's slender, fair and fragile neck was revealed.

Liu Yingying's eyelashes trembled, and at that moment, she felt like she was being watched by a hungry wolf.

In the next second, she only felt a tingling pain on the side of her neck, and she suddenly became in a trance.

The lights and shadows in front of Liu Yingying's eyes overlapped, the originally distinct candlelight and the night were distorted and blended together, making it look strange.There was a buzzing sound in her ears, and she reacted belatedly. The hand covering her mouth had left at some point. A figure walked past her bed and met another figure.

Dimly, Liu Yingying seemed to hear someone whispering.

"...Brother Yan, are you making it a little big?"

"Return the same way to the other body." Yan Cen said, tearing off the coarse cloth wrapped around his hands, throwing it on the ground, and stuffing the silver needle used to feed the poison back to its original position, he said: "Anyway, the poison came from Song Xueyao in the first place, and it's not wrong to use it on her - not to mention that with this small dose, it won't kill her. She can still see some effect when she is awake. If she is asleep, It feels like nothing but a nightmare."

Xu Muzhou sighed, thinking that Yan Cen could be given the title of "Outlaw Madman".

"I thought you would hypnotize her." Xu Muzhou said, "After all, you have done this before. It is simple and efficient, and has no side effects."

"I'm too lazy to put my heart into her." Yan Cen said.

——It is impossible to refute, Xu Muzhou thought.

Xu Muzhou turned his eyes back to Liu Yingying, who had loose eyes, lying on his side on the soft couch, looking straight at them, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and he didn't seem to know whether he was conscious or unconscious.

"I can't be stupid..." Xu Muzhou muttered, he was a little uncertain, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Liu Yingying.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yingying's eyeballs moved slowly following his hand, and she actually smiled slowly.

"It's you." Liu Yingying said with a smile.

--who?Xu Muzhou looked at her in bewilderment.

When he and Yan Cen entered the door just now, Liu Yingying still had a feeling of "uneasiness", but now this feeling is gone, and she doesn't know who she saw in the hallucination, it seems that her mood has improved.

Liu Yingying bent her eyes, put her white and slender fingertips on her hair, wrapped her knuckles playfully around her hair, and said softly, "Why don't you live in peace after death?"

Xu Muzhou: "..."

What kind of horror movie plot is this, Xu Muzhou thought.He originally thought that, according to the routine of mainstream horror movies, Liu Yingying, who had a guilty conscience, was frightened by the hallucinations and squirmed, guilty and regretful, to repent for the blood on her hands.

——Take the wrong script?Xu Muzhou thought suspiciously.

Seeing that Xu Muzhou didn't speak, Liu Yingying giggled for a while, then sighed with emotion: "But you didn't do me any harm when you were alive, why are you so courageous when you're dead?"

"Are you not afraid at all?" Xu Muzhou couldn't help asking.

"Afraid?" Liu Yingying looked at him in surprise: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will tell you the truth, or that you will kill yourself—"

Xu Muzhou was taken aback.

The hallucination magnifies the deepest impression in people's mind infinitely. Xu Muzhou originally thought that Liu Yingying recognized her as Song Xueyao who killed her personally, but he didn't expect Liu Yingying's strong spirit to be so unusual.

"But didn't I do it right, huh?" Liu Yingying smiled more and more happily, her thin lips parted slightly, but the words she uttered were laced with swords: "Everything is filial piety, and you can't cry even if your relatives are gone. Sin, I didn't do anything, I just told you the truth, if you can't think about it, who can blame—"

"Right." Liu Yingying smiled and said, "Meng Wanqing."
