Chapter 141 Reincarnation (31)

Ning Qingyan's expression remained unchanged and he did not respond. He changed his pen and continued painting.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Chen Ye simply sat in the study and looked at the newly bought sketchbook.

Ning Qingyan's hidden gaze fell on Chen Ye.

The young man sat crookedly on the chair, without any manners at all. Normally, he had no idea how to stand or sit.

Holding the sketchbook in his left hand, he was eating a peach that came from nowhere in his right hand, bite by bite. The clear juice of the peach flowed down his palm and across his wrist, leaving ambiguous water marks.

...

At night, Chen Ye helped Ning Qingyan massage his legs. He asked, "How is your leg?"

Ning Qingyan said: "You can walk normally, but not for too long."

Chen also nodded. It seemed that he would have to use his inner elixir to remove the remaining poison in Ning Qingyan's leg.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will definitely help you heal."

Ning Qingyan looked at him with eyes as black as ink, "Why do you want to help me?"

"Since I have married the prince, my heart will naturally be with him."

After staring at Chen Ye for a moment, Ning Qingyan withdrew his gaze and asked, "What do you want?"

Of course I want you to fall in love with me.

Chen Ye said, "I don't want anything, Your Majesty, don't think so much."

After the massage, Chen Ye withdrew his hand from Ning Qingyan's calf, "I noticed that the prince's eyes have dark circles in recent days. Is it because he has not been sleeping well?"

Ning Qingyan pulled his robe over his legs and said, "Why? Besides healing leg injuries, can you also heal insomnia?"

"No, but I have had a very special physique since I was a child. If someone with insomnia sleeps in the same bed with me, he will fall asleep quickly."

The young man was only wearing his inner clothes. He looked at Ning Qingyan with his bright eyes and the words he said were nothing short of seduction.

"You mean to sleep in the same bed with me?"

"This is just my suggestion. If Your Majesty doesn't want to, forget it."

Ning Qingyan curled the corners of his lips, "Yes, you are my princess, so what's wrong with sleeping in the same bed?"

Ning Qingyan opened the quilt and said, "Come up, Princess."

Chen also got on Ning Qingyan's bed.

As the night deepened, Chen gradually felt sleepy. He fell asleep before he even began to count the stars in his mind.

After he fell asleep, Ning Qingyan opened his eyes. Ning Qingyan raised half of his body and stared at the sleeping Chen Ye with a dark look in his eyes.

As he gradually approached Chen Ye, Ning Qingyan smelled a faint fragrance, which was almost imperceptible and very light.

It wasn't his illusion a few days ago, the smell was indeed from Chen Ye.

Ning Qingyan's hand rested on Chen Ye's neck. He did not use any force. Finally, his fingertips lightly stroked Chen Ye's neck, and a red mark soon appeared on the fair neck.

Ning Qingyan's voice was low and his tone was full of interest. "Who are you?"

When the sky was bright, Ning Qingyan opened his eyes. He had a really good sleep last night without any dreams.

He glanced at Chen Ye in his arms, wondering who he had slept with to discover this physique.

Ning Qingyan pulled his hand out from under Chen Ye's neck, stood up, walked to the closet and put on his clothes.

As usual, Su Ye brought Ning Qingyan water for washing his face, but when he passed by the outer room, he did not see Chen Ye.

Carrying the water for washing face into the inner room, Su Ye saw Ning Qingyan who was already dressed.

Su Ye looked at the bed. There was an arch in the middle of the bed, and a few strands of black hair could be vaguely seen. An arm stretched out from outside the quilt, which was white and delicate, and it made people feel fluttered.

The line of sight was quickly blocked, and Su Ye saw Ning Qingyan standing in front of him.

"master."

After calling out softly, Su Ye stood there nervously. Ning Qingyan looked at him unkindly just now. At first glance, it seemed no different from usual, but after following Ning Qingyan for so long, Su Ye still realized something was wrong.

Ning Qingyan wiped his face with a handkerchief and said, "Get out."

Su Ye barely stopped and walked out of the house lightly. After he left, his mind was still confused. The master and Chen Ye slept in the same bed. Did they consummate their marriage?

Su Ye felt a little uncomfortable. After spending these days together, he had different feelings towards Chen.

I thought that the master didn't like Chen Ye, so maybe he would have a chance in the future.

Ning Qingyan stood beside the bed, looking down at Chen Ye who was curled up in a ball and sleeping.

A very slight snoring sound came from under the quilt, and it could be heard that the owner was sleeping soundly. After staring for a while, Ning Qingyan got on the wheelchair and left the room.

When Chen Ye woke up, it was already noon. He exclaimed, "It's over, there's no breakfast."

However, when he went out, he saw a guard, who asked Chen what he wanted to eat and asked the kitchen to prepare it immediately.

Chen Ye usually doesn't have this treatment, so he always follows Ning Qingyan and eats whenever Ning Qingyan eats.

Upon checking the favorability level, Ning Qingyan's favorability level towards him had reached 40.

Chen Ye immediately ordered a bunch of food and asked the guards to bring it.

The weather is getting colder and there is no snow in Kyoto.

Li Wenshui's memorial day is approaching, and Chen Ye tells Ning Qingyan that he is going on a long journey.

I thought Ning Qingyan would ask something, but Ning Qingyan asked nothing.

Chen Ye said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will treat your injuries as soon as possible after I come back, and there will be no delay."

Ning Qingyan tapped his fingertips lightly on the side of his leg, "It's okay, the king is not in a hurry."

Three days later, Chen Ye packed up some things and set off.

When he left, he paid attention to what was behind him, making sure that no one was following him before he went to Qingyun Mountain with peace of mind.

It had not been long since he left, but when Chen Ye returned to Qingyun Mountain he felt as if he were in another world.

He lit a stick of incense in front of Li Wenshui's grave.

"Li Wenshui, I found your reincarnation. Your reincarnation is so fierce, not as gentle as you."

Chen Ye pulled a piece of grass from the grave and put it in his mouth. He leaned against the tombstone and looked at the clouds in the sky.

"But it doesn't matter, I like you no matter what you are like."

After working for an entire afternoon, Chen finally cleaned the grave.

He entered the cabin and lay down on the bed, planning to sleep for the night before leaving.

When Chen Ye left, he also took away the jade hairpin that Li Wenshui had given him. The system notified him in a hurry at that time, and he went down the mountain in a daze and took nothing with him.

Two days later, Chen Ye returned to the palace.

In the palace he heard some rumors about a heart-eating monster.

The heart-dug monster just randomly killed people, and those killed were all ordinary people, but a few days ago the monster killed the Minister of Rites.

The killing of an official was a serious matter. The emperor was furious and ordered the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Chen was also a little puzzled. Where did this monster come from that dared to kill people in Kyoto?

When they arrived at Ning Qingyan's study, Ning Qingyan was looking down at a letter. Chen Ye had good eyesight and saw the word "Northwest" on the envelope.

It seems that although Ning Qingyan is in Kyoto, he has been paying attention to the war in the northwestern border.

After seeing Chen Ye coming in, Ning Qingyan quickly put the letter away.

Chen was also wearing a yellow dress embroidered with cloud and bamboo patterns. Ning Qingyan was stunned when he saw the clothes.

Chen Ye walked over and asked, "What's wrong? I haven't seen you for a few days, and your Majesty doesn't recognize me?"

Ning Qingyan's throat was a little hoarse, "I have never seen you wear this dress, and the hairpin on your head is not the style of the mansion."

The clothes were Chen Ye’s old ones. If he remembered correctly, he and Li Wenshui bought them at the foot of the mountain more than 20 years ago.

Ordinary clothes naturally cannot be kept for so long, so Chen also used his spiritual power to mend the clothes when they were torn or faded, and in the end the clothes remained in their original condition.

"This is what I used to wear at home, and this hairpin is also what I used to wear."

Ning Qingyan lowered his eyes, but why did he feel so familiar with it?

"What did you go off to do this time?"

Seeing Ning Qingyan asking, Chen also said: "I went to see a friend."

"Friend?" Ning Qingyan rubbed the jade ring on his thumb twice.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I went to meet you."

Chen Ye stared at Ning Qingyan's face for a while, "Your Majesty, I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest for a while."

After Chen Ye left, Ning Qingyan called Su Ye.

Su Ye knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, as he felt that his master did not look happy.

"He said he was going to meet a friend. I asked you to follow him, but what happened?"

"Master Song was very alert. I didn't dare to follow him closely, so I sent a falcon to investigate his whereabouts. According to the information sent back by the falcon, Master Song went to Qingyun County. We have to wait for An Yi to send back the information about his specific whereabouts."

Ning Qingyan's eyes were solemn. "When An Yi comes back, ask him to come and see me directly."

...

Chen was also tinkering with herbs in the pharmacy. He was using them to fool Ning Qingyan, and after a while he became somewhat interested in herbs himself.

So he followed the old doctor whenever he had time and learned some knowledge of Chinese medicine.

He was busy boiling the medicine, while Ning Qingyan was in dead silence.

Ning Qingyan was sitting in a wheelchair with a painting spread out on the desk in front of him.

Under the lush magnolia tree, two people stood side by side, one in yellow and the other in green.

The two of them seemed to be leaning against each other, very close.

An Yi knelt on the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling that he had discovered some incredible secret.

Ning Qingyan pulled the corner of his lips and sneered, "You said that you saw this at Song Yao's place?"

An Yi: "That's right. After the princess left, I sneaked in to investigate and found this painting. I found something fishy about the painting, so I took it upon myself to bring it back."

Ning Qingyan stared at the painting, wondering what he was thinking.

The date on the painting is the 23rd year of the Yongli reign, when the late emperor was still alive and he was not yet born.

Ning Qingyan had never seen the young man in yellow before, but when he saw the smiling young man in yellow in the painting, he suddenly felt that the young man in the painting and Chen Ye overlapped.

They were obviously two different faces, but they gave him the same feeling.

As for the Taoist priest in green who looked like him, Ning Qingyan was not unfamiliar with him. He had seen him before in a dream.

In the dream, the Taoist in green saved a white fox, and that white fox was the one he often dreamed of.

White Fox, Taoist in Green, Chen Ye and Song Yao from the Border...

A series of things appeared in Ning Qingyan's mind. Ning Qingyan always felt that he had grasped something, but also felt it was too incredible.

Ning Qingyan reached out his hand and gently stroked the painting. His fingertips trembled slightly as they brushed past the young man in yellow.

What he didn't know was that at this moment there was a subtle tenderness in his eyes.

After a while, Ning Qingyan said in a deep voice: "Immediately ask the painter to make a copy of the painting and send it back to its original place."

An Yi bowed his head, "Yes, Master."

"Go find out who owns that place and who has lived there. Also find out who Song Yao had contact with before she got married."

"I obey my orders."

Ning Qingyan waved his hand and An Yi left immediately.

Ning Qingyan sat on the chair, one hand supporting his forehead, his cold eyes emitting a chilling light.

Who are you and what is your purpose?

In the dead of night, Chen Ye squatted in front of Ning Qingyan's bed like a thief. Ning Qingyan's leg was almost healed, but there was still some residual poison.

Chen Ye initially wanted to use his spiritual power to take it slowly, but now he plans to use his inner elixir to help Ning Qingyan completely eliminate the toxins.

He would feel at ease sooner Ning Qingyan’s leg gets better.

After Chen Ye knocked Ning Qingyan unconscious, he sat down beside the bed.

He opened his mouth, and an inner pill emitting white light came out of his mouth.

This inner elixir was cultivated by him later. It is not as powerful as the previous one, but it is still usable.

The inner elixir slowly floated to Ning Qingyan's side and entered Ning Qingyan's body.

Ning Qingyan frowned, as if he was in some pain. But soon his expression calmed down again.

After an incense stick of time, the inner elixir cleared the toxins from Ning Qingyan's legs.

Chen Ye moved closer to Ning Qingyan and sensed that his inner elixir was in Ning Qingyan's dantian. Chen Ye began to try to summon the inner elixir back.

However, a minute later, the inner elixir seemed to be embedded in Ning Qingyan's dantian, with no sign of leaving Ning Qingyan's body.

Chen was also stunned for a moment.

"System, why is my inner elixir not obeying my orders?"

The system quickly answered, "Your body was reshaped by Li Wenshui using his spiritual power. Your blood and spiritual power all come from Li Wenshui, so the inner elixir you cultivated will subconsciously be close to Li Wenshui's reincarnation."

"Then how can I get it back? If I don't get it back, I won't be able to maintain this body."

Without the inner elixir, Chen Ye would not be able to generate spiritual power, and the possessed body would soon decay without the protection of spiritual power. After the physical body was no longer usable, Chen Ye's true body would separate from the physical body.

[You can only let Ning Qingyan take the initiative to give you the inner elixir. However, he does not know that your inner elixir is in his body. Unless you tell him and he realizes the existence of the inner elixir, he can force the inner elixir out and give it to you.]

Chen Ye: "His favorability towards me is 45 now. If I reveal my identity as a monster now, I can't guarantee that he won't feel resentful. Also, will he believe that he is Li Wenshui's previous life?"

【Host makes his own judgment.】

After thinking for a long time, Chen decided to stay put for the time being. He could maintain this body for at least ten days or half a month. At least until Ning Qingyan's favorability reached 70, he would confess the truth.

...

The fog was thick and Ning Qingyan stood in it, unable to see anything clearly.

He looked down and saw that he was wearing a green Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword in his hand.

The dantian was very warm, and Ning Qingyan felt a familiar yet unfamiliar power flowing in his body.

He had never had this kind of power before, but this power was very close to him.

As if his body was out of control, Ning Qingyan turned his head and saw a snow-white fox.

The fox lay on the windowsill and stared at him, its eyes bright and its look naive and cute.

The next moment, "Ning Qingyan" moved. He walked to the windowsill and negotiated with the fox.

The surprise in his heart faded away, and Ning Qingyan quickly guessed that he must have entered the memories of the Taoist priest in green.

The scene changed, and Ning Qingyan found that his hands were moving. He was painting, and the subject was still the fox.

The white fox slumped on the chair, looking lazy. Ning Qingyan remembered that when he was seven years old, he locked up the white fox for more than twenty days. At that time, the white fox also lay in the golden cage.

Same expression, same posture.

A pair of beautiful fox eyes appeared in front of Ning Qingyan. Ning Qingyan came back to his senses and found that the scene and place of his memories had changed again.

Ning Qingyan was stunned when he saw the handsome young man in white with surprise in his eyes. This young man was exactly the person in the painting.

A voice came from his ear, and Ning Qingyan heard "himself" say, "Little fox?"

Ning Qingyan was shocked and understood in an instant that the white fox was a demon.
