Chapter 1823 True Identity Revealed
Chapter 1823 True Identity Revealed
Although he was mentally prepared, the abbot still found it difficult to look directly at the monster.
The previous time it was at night and the light was dim, so he couldn't see clearly. Now it was broad daylight, and he could see it clearly at a glance.
"Oh, I'll go."
The abbot turned his face away and covered his mouth and nose.
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly and could see the monster clearly.
This is not a monster at all, it's clearly a human being.
However, for some reason, it began to exhibit animalistic behaviors, such as running on all fours, making breathing sounds from its mouth, and sharpening its claws when it senses danger.
The abbot didn't dare to look, and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Did you see it clearly? What is it?"
"He's a human being, there's no need to be afraid," Yan Ruyu said.
"People?" The abbot looked back, "Why..."
He couldn't hide his astonishment. He really didn't know what method could turn a person into this.
"This person is too miserable, isn't he?"
Yan Ruyu didn't comment, but suddenly her eyes focused and she saw something around the man's waist.
The clothes were already very tattered and there was no way to tell what they looked like originally. The things on the waist were also broken into small pieces.
Like a jade pendant.
Yan Ruyu felt that she must have seen him somewhere before.
She thought about it for a while, but couldn't remember.
"You watch first, I'm going into the space to look for something," Yan Ruyu said to the abbot and entered the space.
After searching in the space for a while, he found a jade pendant.
The style and pattern are very similar to that piece.
Taking it out of the space, the abbot came over to take a look: "This one is really similar to that one."
Yan Ruyu looked down, then at the monster's waist for comparison.
Take a closer look at the person's attire.
The clothes were tattered and the color and style could not be seen, but now that I had a rough guess, I could tell a little bit.
It's a happy dress.
The abbot asked, "What did you see? Can you recognize who it is?"
Yan Ruyu whispered, "I guessed it."
"Who?"
"Cheng Fengyao."
The abbot opened his eyes, unable to hide his surprise: "It...she...this?"
Although Cheng Fengyao is not very beautiful or stunning, she is not ugly. She was brought up in the Cheng family and is considered a rich lady.
She also wanted to marry Huo Changhe and replace Yan Ruyu as the princess.
Yan Ruyu closed her eyes slightly - originally she didn't hate Cheng Fengyao, she just felt angry and amused.
The Cheng family is not a good family, but Cheng Fengyao can be considered a victim. She is spoiled on weekdays, but at the critical moment, she is abandoned by her father and brother and sent to marry a so-called wealthy businessman in exchange for wealth.
Judging from her condition, she must have been murdered on her wedding day, otherwise, she wouldn't be wearing the wedding dress she wore that day.
The once lovely young girl has turned into a half-human, half-ghost appearance.
It's really sad.
The abbot came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Why did she arrest me? To seek revenge?"
That's not right. The abbot and Yan Ruyu are in cahoots, but they didn't do any harm to Cheng Fengyao. So it's not the abbot's turn to take revenge.
The abbot was puzzled and Yan Ruyu couldn't figure it out either.
"What should we do now?" The abbot couldn't bear to watch any longer, "How should we deal with it?"
Yan Ruyu was silent for a while: "Kill him."
The abbot's eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrongly.
But on second thought, there is really no better way.
"Living like this is more painful than dying," Yan Ruyu said in a deep voice, "If she was conscious, she wouldn't want to live like this."
The abbot was speechless.
"Then I..."
Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "Come outside the courtyard and I'll handle it."
The abbot nodded and left the yard.
Yan Ruyu walked up to Cheng Fengyao, looked down at her, and slowly took out the knife.
The knife stabbed into Cheng Fengyao's heart, and the ferocious expression on her face gradually disappeared. Her originally cruel and turbid eyes showed a trace of clarity.
A hint of human words emanated from the throat as he exhaled.
"Thanks……"
Yan Ruyu had many questions that puzzled her. She didn't know how she became like this, why she wanted to capture the abbot, and whether she had anyone else with her.
But no one asked.
A few minutes later, Cheng Fengyao closed her eyes.
The abbot was waiting outside, and Yinding came to report that he was ready to return to the city.
As he was speaking, Yan Ruyu came out.
"Bury her."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu looked at the abbot and said, "Come back with me first. I have to ask Lou Tingyu about something. Come back after you confirm it."
"Ok."
It’s not far anyway.
Yan Ruyu was in a bad mood when she set out to return to the city.
The Cheng family made one mistake after another. They deserved to die, but they shouldn't have died like this.
When they returned to the palace, Huo Changhe heard that she was back and hurried to greet her. Seeing that she was not in high spirits, he quickly looked at the abbot.
Seeing that the abbot was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Didn't the abbot survive? Why are you unhappy?"
Yan Ruyu said, "Let's talk about it in the yard."
After returning to the courtyard and changing clothes, Yan Ruyu told him the whole story and the identity of the "monster".
When Huo Changhe thought back now, he couldn't actually remember what Cheng Fengyao looked like, but she was an unmarried girl after all.
Thinking of a monster like that, it really cannot be equated with a girl.
"Those people really deserve to die, they are so vicious and cruel," Huo Changhe gritted his teeth, "I don't know how many more there are..."
Cheng Fengyao is definitely not the only one.
Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment, then whispered, "She has been looking for the abbot, and after capturing him, she didn't seem to have any intention of harming him. I think there is something hidden."
“Perhaps, if we find the reason, we can find a solution.”
When Huo Changhe heard this, he had the same concerns as her.
"The situation is still unclear. I don't know if there will be another person like her. The abbot's safety..."
"I haven't mentioned it to him yet. Let him stay in the mansion for a while first."
Yan Ruyu asked again: "How is the matter going on with the prince?"
Huo Changhe told Yan Ruyu about his two visits to Zhang's house.
Yan Ruyu praised: "Your Majesty is very wise, and nothing can escape your discerning eyes."
Huo Changhe smiled: "Yu'er taught me well."
Yan Ruyu took out some cloth and silk from the space, some of which were top-grade moonlight gauze.
"Your Highness is here, you can take these with you to reassure them and not let them get suspicious."
"it is good."
These fabrics were not originally obtained from the Cheng family, but were obtained from the Yan Mansion and King Yi.
Especially those in Prince Yi’s Palace, all of them were top-notch items from all over the place, some of which were even presented to the emperor, but some were withheld by him.
These are more than enough to scare Gong Yanghua and the others.
"Your Highness, please go and do your work. I will take a break and then go to pay my respects to my mother."
"it is good."
Huo Changhe went to find Beibei, put on makeup, and went out to do some work.
Yan Ruyu didn't take much rest either, and went to see Lou Tingyu.
Lou Tingyu has been busy with the reconstruction of his space recently, and fortunately the progress is going smoothly.
He is the first person who was able to repair and rebuild a house that was so dilapidated.
I was thinking that when I return one day, I will talk this matter over with the head of the family.
I was busy in the space when I heard footsteps.
