Then Gan Tiantian found an excuse to take a stroll in the palace.

Perhaps it was because of the female lead’s aura thing like Su Bei said. Gan Tiantian happened to meet that female ghost who had possessed Noble Consort Zhou last time.

So Gan Tiantian took the opportunity to explore the news from the female ghost, who said, there is a place covered with paper runes, no ghost could get close to it.

And Ji Shuli would go there everyday, wearing some kind of strange expression, always.

Giving her knowledge about Ji Shuli, Gan Tiantian guessed that maybe Ji Shuli had hidden that person away in case of the damage that the possessing thing would bring him.

After going back, Gan Tiantian had no idea if she should tell Ji Shuxuan about it.

Su Bei woke with a start, Ji Shuli was sitting by his side gently looking at him, “You wake up?”

Then trying to help Su Bei comb his hair.

Su Bei’s eyes were blank, like a doll, letting him fiddle with, “88, have you ever heard a word?”

His voice was so ethereal that it made 748 a little scared, so it did not answer him.

Su Bei said after a long time, “It seems I also forgot. But I can remember the rough meaning.”

“When someone is in a hopeless state, facing with the greatest test of life and death, and when his tormentor shows appropriate tenderness, and it will change from fear to gratitude, from hate to love.”

748 wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say, actually sometimes, even it couldn’t tell what Su Bei was thinking.

Su Bei stopped abruptly and said nothing more.

748 felt some inexplicable fear instead, as if, back to that world in which Su Bei was hypnotized.

However, Su Bei was just saying it, but did not intend to do anything, really no other action.

But 748 knew it was just a facade.

Gan Tiantian finally still told it to Ji Shuxuan, saying she would help him solve the rune thing.

At night, she and Ji Shuxuan sneaked into the palace.

Most of the people in the palace were also asleep, except for some patrolling guards and a few scattered lit palace lamps.

Under the guide of that female ghost, Gan Tiantian and Ji Shuxuan got to that place.

As expected, only ghosts couldn’t touch those runes, but Gan Tiantian broke all of them easily.

The moment those runes were removed, Gan Tiantian saw that Ji Shuxuan’s eyes were beaming.

She did not want to think what that slice of light meant.

The moment Gan Tiantian opened the door, Ji Shuxuan disappeared in the secret passage.

Gan Tiantian went down step by step, like each step needed great courage.

But the tunnel wasn’t long, so it was easy to get to the end, a dark room.

Ji shuxuan stood in front of her, looking ahead.

What is lying there?

On a large carved bed was a thin, chained man.

He was dressed in all white, which was mostly dyed red.

And Ji Shuli, the emperor high above, was also lying on the bed, eyes wide open like he died with a grievance.

Blood gushed out of his neck, the wound looking quite horrible.

Even if the man in white got the long hair covering his face, Gan Tiantian still felt very familiar, even, that man’s name was at the mouth.

Ji Shuxuan suddenly came to his sense, step by step, he walked close to the carved bed, and then called with a trembling voice, “Su Bei.”
