Chapter 171 Framed
Mu Wanyan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. This time she was certain that the sound definitely came from under their bed.
She held the candle carefully, and her steps were as light as a cat, for fear of disturbing the source of the sound.
Coming to the edge of the bed, Mu Wanyan and Princess Qiluo looked at each other and then slowly knelt down.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and looked into the darkness under the bed.
After a careful search, they finally found a small iron cage in the gap between the bed legs.
When they opened the cage, the scene inside shocked them both - a hedgehog was curled up in the cage, its body covered in sticky sugar juice.
Apparently, this hedgehog was secretly fed sugar water, which is why it made a sound like an old man's cough at night.
Mu Wanyan's scalp tingled. It turned out that the most terrifying thing was not ghosts and gods, but the human heart.
"No need to guess, this was definitely done by the sisters Ding Ruolian and Ding Ruoqiu." There was a hint of coldness in Mu Wanyan's tone.
"They have always loved studying small animals and they love to tease people, so they naturally know that hedgehogs will make strange noises after drinking sugar water."
Qiluo: "Ding sisters, weren't you picked up from the street by my sister? Why don't they appreciate your kindness and instead want to harm you?"
Mu Wanyan sighed softly, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Master once reminded me to be on guard against them, but I didn't expect that I was still careless."
She took the hedgehog out and put it in the grass.
"Now, the Phoenix Girl Selection has entered a critical stage. Now there are only ten people left. There is no doubt that we are the biggest threat to the Ding sisters."
Qiluo also nodded. "Those eliminated Phoenix girls were injured or sick. In addition to those who were eliminated normally, there must be many girls who were framed and eliminated by the Ding sisters."
She held Mu Wanyan's hand and said, "Sister, you have lived an honest life. Would you do something sinister? If you don't want to, I can help you."
Mu Wanyan: "Who said I won't harm others? This princess' kindness is only reserved for normal people. How can I be open and honest with those villains?"
She had planned to go and settle accounts with the Ding sisters the next day, but the more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt.
So he sat up from the bed and asked, "Qiluo, are you asleep?"
Princess Qiluo's eyes sparkled. "I can't sleep. I'm helping my sister figure out how to deal with those two ungrateful bastards."
Mu Wanyan smiled slyly, "Why don't you accompany me to the wild now?"
Qiluo: "What do you want to do, sister? Don't tell me yet, let me guess."
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Eel blood."
-
So, in the dead of night, the two girls quietly walked out of Fengnu Academy.
Mu Wanyan held a shovel and Princess Qiluo carried a bucket, and the two of them started working in the wild.
Yanyan has been learning martial arts and survival skills from Taoist Master Ziyu since she was a child, so she has a strong ability to survive in the wild. Catching a few eels is naturally a piece of cake for her.
Soon, they obtained the eel blood and quietly came to the door of the Ding sisters' dormitory under the cover of night.
They dipped soft brushes in eel blood and carefully painted the vermilion door sills and window frames, each stroke carefully, fearing that no traces would be left.
"Will we be discovered tomorrow?" Qiluo asked worriedly.
Mu Wanyan shook her head. "It shouldn't be possible. We only apply it on the vermilion areas. Once it dries in the shade, it won't be visible."
Qiluo asked again: "Will they be woken up by us?"
Mu Wanyan smiled slightly, "No, they usually sleep very deeply, and both of them have level 2 skills, so they won't wake up easily."
When the two of them finished everything and returned to the dormitory, it was almost dawn. They knew that bats would not come during the day, but at night, it was hard to say.
Sure enough, it was late the next night.
"Oh, my God, oh my God, what the hell is this thing?" Ding Ruoqiu was first awakened by the sound of something constantly hitting the frame of his window.
She woke Ding Ruolian up in horror, and they both opened the window, but were terrified by the scene before them.
They saw swarms of bats flying towards their windows, making a series of creepy noises.
The Ding sisters screamed in fear and hid in the corner of the bed, at a loss, fearing that the bats would fly into the dormitory.
"What's going on?" Ding Ruolian asked in a trembling voice.
"I don't know. Could it be that some evil thing has come into our room?" Ding Ruoqiu's face was pale, and his voice trembled with anxiety.
The two sisters have done a lot of bad things since they were young, and they feel very guilty at this moment.
Just then, the dog outside the door smelled the eel and started barking towards their room.
It keeps barking and howling, which is really creepy to hear.
"Oh, it's going to die. What the hell? Go away and don't come over here." The weird atmosphere has caused the two sisters to have hallucinations.
They cried and hugged each other, too scared to move.
The wind was whistling, bats kept hitting the doors and windows, dogs were barking, and the moonlight was dim.
When people are afraid, they are more likely to have bladder problems.
They really wanted to go to the toilet, but they didn't have the courage to do so.
So, when the sun rose the next morning.
There was no doubt that there was a smell of urine in the room.
The two sisters were ashamed and annoyed, and warned each other not to tell anyone about this.
After changing their clothes and coming to their senses, the two people began to check for any abnormalities on the window sills and door thresholds.
After all, they had some common sense, so the Ding sisters sniffed it and licked it with their tongues.
After a while, murderous intent slowly welled up in their eyes, and they said in unison: "Eel blood."
Ding Ruoqiu gritted his teeth and picked up the bucket to wash it, but was stopped by his sister Ding Ruolian.
"Sister, are you going to clean up the evidence now? Who do you think did this?"
Ding Ruoqiu: "Apart from the two bitch princesses living in the east, who else could it be?"
She said viciously, "They must have discovered the hedgehog cage last night, so they deliberately used eel blood to take revenge."
"It's a pity that I didn't dare to get up at night to check carefully, otherwise, I would have noticed the clues long ago."
Ding Ruolian: "Sister, are you just going to let it go?"
Mu Wanyan and Qiluo were not frightened by the hedgehog's cough, but they were frightened by the bats and became incontinent last night.
"What else can we do? We have no evidence."
Ding Ruolian: "The Emperor is coming here today. Just based on his respect for Fengnu, he believes whatever we say."
"Then we can spend some more money and find someone to randomly point out that Mu Wanyan and Princess Qiluo framed us. Then we can take this opportunity to have the emperor eliminate those two bitches. Then the position of Phoenix Girl will belong to us two sisters, right?"
Ding Ruoqiu: "I didn't expect that you usually just follow me, but now at the critical moment, you can give me advice."
Ding Ruolian rolled her eyes and said flatteringly, "Isn't it all learned from you, sister? You taught me well."
Ding Ruoqiu smiled with her face but not her heart. She always felt that Ding Ruolian was no longer the weak sister she used to be, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
-
Pei Yuxiao has been dreaming about spending a good night with Mu Wanyan recently.
Moreover, in order to continue that beautiful dream, he even asked the doctor to prescribe incense for him so that he could meet Mu Wanyan in his dream every night.
However, for some reason, every time in his dream, he would kill the Ding sisters and Lin Xue for Mu Wanyan.
Every time he woke up, Pei Yuxiao couldn't help but laugh. He said to himself: "Ridiculous, this king has always put the throne first, how could I kill Fengnu and Lin Xue for the sake of love?"
Therefore, as absurd as the dream was, he took care of Ding Ruolian and Ding Ruoqiu during the day.
As for Mu Wanyan, Pei Yuxiao was too embarrassed to even look at her during the day, for fear that he would have any bad thoughts about her.
Because of the special incense, the dream that night was so beautiful. Pei Yuxiao always felt that he had already favored the girl and regarded her as his own woman.
However, in order to prevent others from noticing his inner abnormality, Pei Yuxiao always distanced himself from Mu Wanyan intentionally or unintentionally, and his attitude towards her became worse and worse.
-
Today, as soon as Pei Yuxiao stepped into Fengnu Academy, he sensed a strange atmosphere.
Emperor Pei Lingsong sat in the middle of the courtyard with a frosty face, listening quietly to the Ding sisters kneeling on the ground complaining.
