“But 1 heard that he stopped breathing the first two times and lost his heartbeat. The second time, he was nailed to the coffin for burial,” Ning Yue said.

The emperor’s frown deepened. “It’s not that 1 don’t believe Jiang Ying. 1 only have this question because of the first two times.”

“That’s right. Lian Xin is too cunning,” Ning Yue echoed.

This time, Jiang Ying frowned even more. If their suspicion was right, it was very likely that Lian Xin would “come back to life” in the next few days.

“I haven’t thrown his corpse out yet. I’ll send someone to guard it immediately.” With that, Jiang Ying left the imperial study and instructed the guards who had followed him to do the work.

After giving the instructions, not long after, the guard returned to tell him that Lian Xin’s corpse had disappeared!

He walked into the imperial study with an ugly expression and told the emperor the results.

“This is a common trick of his. It’s just that I’m curious how he can pretend so well,” the emperor asked.

“This is very simple.” As she spoke, Ning Yue took out silver needles from her bag and inserted them into a few major acupuncture points on her body.

Then, she walked to Jiang Ying’s side. “Help me check my pulse.”

As she spoke, Ning Yue extended her hand to him. Jiang Ying hurriedly placed his hand on it gently.

Jiang Ying’s eyes widened as he looked at Ning Yue in disbelief. “How did you do it?”

Ning Yue pulled out the silver needles and explained this to Jiang Ying and the emperor. “It’s very simple. As long as I seal a few acupuncture points on my body and stop the blood from circulating, I can do it.”

As for breathing, it was even simpler. As long as his lungs were strong enough, holding his breath for a few minutes was not a problem.

“No matter what, Lian Xin is too terrifying.” Jiang Ying suddenly sighed, making Ning Yue agree.

Yes, Lian Xin was too terrifying.

He had considered all the possible consequences in advance, and he could still think of a very effective way to deal with them.

“I wonder if he has any friends,” Ning Yue asked.

After all, such a terrifying person was despairing as an opponent, but as a friend, it should be the opposite, right? That was why Ning Yue had this question.

However, Ning Yue’s question lit up the emperor and Jiang Ying’s eyes. That’s right. Why didn’t they think of starting with Lian Xin’s friends?

“I remember that he had a companion he played with. I forget his name too, but legend has it that the companion died soon after he came of age.”

Jiang Ying tried his best to recall all the information he had investigated. Therefore, it was not easy for them to start with Lian Xin’s childhood friend.

“If even Lian Xin can fake his death, why can’t his friend? I think all the normal possibilities might become abnormal for him. We might not be able to understand him from a normal person’s perspective,” Ning Yue said.

“You’re right. What we can do is investigate this properly.”

The three of them continued chatting for a while before Jiang Ying left with Ning Yue.

“Jiang Ying, come with me to find Uncle,” Ning Yue said.

It was still early. Yuan Hui should be at Liu Xuan and Erlang’s place.

Jiang Ying nodded and accompanied Ning Yue there.

Ning Yue told Yuan Hui that Lian Xin’s corpse had disappeared. Yuan Hua was not surprised at all. He looked at Ning Yuan and said, “When 1 told you about him again, I already thought of this outcome.”

“I thought it was impossible. I underestimated him too much,” Ning Yue said with a bitter smile.

To think that she thought that she and Lian Xin came from the same place and more or less understood him. However, after these things, Ning Yue suddenly felt that Lian Xian was not someone who could be understood.

“I don’t think you underestimated him. He’s too cunning. By the way, what are your plans next?” Yuan Hui looked at Jiang Ying and asked.

Jiang Ying thought for a moment and replied honestly, “Next, 1’11 send someone to tell my father about the situation here. Lian Xin won’t do well in our hands. I’m worried that he’ll take revenge at the border. Once there’s a war, the people on both sides will suffer. This is something I don’t want to see..”
