Charm King Poison Queen Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Safety Talisman (1)

Tangli Courtyard, Ning Yue is playing backgammon with herself, while Qiu Xiang sits on her knees by the coffee table, doing her homework for her.

Mother Zhong opened the curtain and came in: "Miss, Fifth Miss brought some dried persimmons. They said they were freshly marinated and tasted good."

The sun didn't come out from the west, did Ning Zhen actually give her something?

Can I eat it? It won't be poisonous, right?

"Do you want to return something to Miss Fifth?" Mother Zhong asked. Although I don't know why Fifth Miss, who has always been noble, is willing to walk with Third Miss, but it is still necessary to reciprocate courtesy.

Ning Yue thought for a while, then nodded: "Bring her a box of crab cakes, she doesn't like sweets, I remember."

Mother Zhong packed a box of crab cakes and went.

At night, Xuanyin arrived as promised, Lin Lanzhi felt a little cold, and after talking for a while, she lay down on the table and fell asleep.

Ning Yue asked Qiuxiang to prepare the sliding pole, planning to take Lin Lanzhi back.

Xuan Yin's face was black: "Stinky girl, why don't you ask me what happened?"

Ning Yue wasn't in the right mood tonight. It's not that Ning Yue didn't notice it, but he just didn't bother to ask. Now that he brought it up, Ning Yue asked in line, "Oh, why is Big Brother upset?"

It was originally a joke, but it was indescribable to Xuanyin's ears.

Xuanyin soon told about the loss of the amulet.

"Isn't it just a peace talisman? I'll buy another one if I don't have it." Having said that, Ning Yue knew that the obsidian, which couldn't even be covered with a kang head, was probably a rare treasure.

Xuanyin sighed: "That's me..." After a pause, he said, "My father gave it to me, and the meaning is different."

Intuition told Ning Yue that what Xuanyin wanted to talk about at first was not the father, but besides his father, who would give him a peace talisman when he was born? It is possible for the princess, but if it is the princess, there is no need for him to hide it.

Forget it, what are you thinking about? It has nothing to do with myself.

Ning Yue asked, "When was the last time you saw it?"

Xuanyin rested his chin on the cold stone table, and said: "It was the day when your mother recognized Ma Keqing, you return the peace amulet to me, and I will lock it in the drawer after I go back."

"Have you never taken it out since then?"

"No."

Ning Yue said thoughtfully: "In other words, it might have disappeared a month ago, but you only discovered it yesterday."

"This..." Xuan Yin thought for a while, "It's also possible."

Ning Yue looked at Lin Lanzhi, who was making a female celebrity, and smirking at them from time to time, and said, "So, anyone who has entered or left your house this whole month is suspected."

Xuan Yin blinked feebly: "It is true to say so, but when I was away, only Dong Ba came in."

Ning Yue looked at him strangely: "Why must it be when you're not around? If you're here, wouldn't you have a chance to strike?"

Xuanyin widened his eyes and said: "Of course not! Because I have been hiding the key in the pillow, whoever touches my pillow, I will definitely find out. Moreover, I didn't even tell Dongba where I put the key."

"Looking at it this way, either the other party has monitored your actions early in the morning, or the other party discovered the key by accident."

"Unintentionally?" Xuanyin is obviously more inclined to the second guess.

Ning Yue nodded: "It's like... some people may not have planned to steal, but he accidentally found a piece of gold, and no one around him knew that he found it, so it is possible for him to steal the gold without anyone noticing it. It's huge."
