After I traveled through the book, I made the plot of the vicious female supporting role overturn

Chapter 151

At night, the eldest daughter of the Murong family ran straight to the back house.

Baili Shun followed closely behind, but followed calmly, not even saying anything to dissuade him.

Murong Lingshuang stopped in front of the Baili family's study.

The study room, which she could enter and exit freely before, now had its door tightly shut, with a faint halo floating above it, as a result of a ban order.

"Brother Shun, can you let Lingshuang go in and take a look?"

"sorry."

Baili Shun's voice was calm and composed.

It was as if this sentence had been rehearsed countless times a long time ago. Now, once it was spoken, Lingshuang could easily see the relieved look on his face.

After knowing each other for many years, she thought she knew the man very well, but unexpectedly she was still wrong.

Murong Lingshuang squatted on the ground dejectedly, holding her forehead. She suddenly felt regretful. If she had gone straight home after leaving Puppet Street today, it would have been better, instead of rushing to find Brother Shun after hearing that he had returned. Otherwise, she would not have heard those words.

How could she face and accept the fact that the man she treated as her brother actually had such vicious intentions from the beginning?

"Why bother? I can tell you everything you want to know, Lingshuang. What that person said is true, but I didn't do it. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Uncle Murong for confirmation."

"My father?"

Murong Lingshuang's expression froze. How could her father know about this?

More than ten years ago, the Murong family and the Baili family had arranged a marriage for them. Both parties had their own calculations in this marriage, and her family wanted the power behind the other party.

Thinking that the two families would unite, she could also become the future wife of the owner of Tianshui Tower, and the other party was just after the same goal. The purpose of the marriage between the aristocratic families was just the same.

However, my father did suddenly regret it, and one day he discussed with Baili Shun, who had become the owner of the building, to cancel the engagement. Could it be that my father had a premonition?

"You and I are like brother and sister, childhood sweethearts. When have I ever lied to you? You should know that your father and I are different." Baili Shun let out a breath.

Having said that, he did accept the plan. Baili Shun continued, "If you think this is also a deception, then I am willing to relieve your worries. I..."

Baili Shun suddenly stopped talking. Murong Lingshuang raised her eyes and looked out the archway of the courtyard, only to see Ah Shi trotting in from outside.

"Master, something bad has happened!"

"Outside the door, someone from the imperial court is coming!"

At this time, outside the Tianshui Tower, people crowded on both sides of the road, watching groups of soldiers holding spears and wearing silver-black armor surround the magnificent Tianshui Tower one after another.

The two middle-aged men in the lead, with solemn expressions, reined in their horses in front of Tianshui Tower.

One of them was wearing a Taoist robe, a lotus crown on his head, and holding a Seven-Star Sword in his hand.

A man with white eyebrows and beard, wearing a patchwork garment and holding a yellow scroll in his hand.

The two are the two national magicians who guard the emperor, the former is Sikong Lie and the latter is Luoyingtian.

They dismounted from their horses at the same time, causing everyone to whisper. Some of them stared at the yellow scroll in Luo Yingtian's hand. They recognized the dragon pattern on it and recognized it as the emperor's edict.

There were divergent opinions for a while.

"The host will be here soon, please come in, two masters..."

Sikong Lie snorted and said, "That's not necessary. Please ask the owner of Tianshui Tower, Baili Shun, to come to the front of the building to listen to your orders!"

Ah Shi, Ah Qi and others who were guarding the door were speechless for a moment. At this moment, Baili Shun and Ling Shuang appeared in front of everyone together.

As soon as he saw Baili Shun, Luo Yingtian shouted loudly, "The imperial edict has arrived," then he threw away his long sleeves, unfolded the yellow scroll and began to read aloud.

"In compliance with His Majesty's decree, Baili Shun, the owner of Tianshui Tower, is suspected of plotting to murder the third prince of the dynasty. Effective immediately, Tianshui Tower will be sealed off and Baili Shun will be put in the death row for questioning!"

Ji Yuheng, dead?

How can it be? !

The people in the building who were indulging themselves in the past second ran out in panic the next second, fearing that they would be implicated if they were a step slower.

When the people outside the building heard the contents of the imperial edict, they were thrown into even greater confusion.

"The Third Prince is the Emperor's favorite prince!"

"That's right. The owner of Tianshui Tower is too bold. How dare he... murder the royal family? In Qifeng, he will be torn into pieces by five horses and thrown into a ghost cave, and will never be able to reincarnate!"

"Tianshui Tower has become more and more rampant over the years. Poor Third Prince, he was displaced when he was young, and when he grew up and was about to marry a beautiful wife, he was killed!"

Amid the sighs and speculations, someone squeezed to the front of the crowd and revealed a secret, unwilling to be left behind.

"You don't know yet? The Third Prince fell in love with the host's woman, and the host was so angry that he rushed into the inn and killed everyone. The Third Prince was slapped in the chest and died on the way back to the imperial city in just one day. And, I heard...ah——"

Suddenly, a spiritual pressure knocked the talkative man unconscious. Everyone was so frightened by the terrifying spiritual pressure that they knelt on the ground. No one dared to say another word.

Sikong Lie withdrew his hand contemptuously, and the spiritual pressure dissipated.

Baili Shun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. Looking at Sikong Lie and Luo Yingtian who were walking towards him, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

"Baili Shun, accept the order!" Sikong Lie sighed.

Luo Yingtian took a step forward and glared at Baili Shun in a cold voice.

"Master, you are very powerful. In order to facilitate the interrogation, we have no choice but to offend you. Drink this to avoid physical pain."

After saying that, Luo Yingtian took out a transparent glass bottle with a sticky dark green liquid inside.

Ling Shuang recognized the thing at once. She had been in shock since the beginning. She was confused by what was said about the prince being killed and the Tianshui Tower being sealed off. Until she saw what Luo Yingtian was holding, she felt like she was hit on the head and fear instantly appeared on her face.

"Impossible, how could he kill the Third Prince?!" Ling Shuang pulled Baili Shun behind her, "How can such a thing be used? A cultivator who touches this will feel itchy all over and will be unable to use his abilities! It is considered the 'most poisonous thing' for a cultivator, and a serious reaction may even lead to death. If it is an investigation, why do you want to..."

Suddenly, Ling Shuang met Luo Yingtian's eyes. His look of helplessness made it difficult for her to speak.

"…I made a mistake, it must be a mistake!" Ling Shuang pulled Baili Shun's sleeve tightly, "Brother Shun, say something! You and the Third Prince have no hatred, how could you kill someone!"

"The Third Prince and Baili Shun had a fierce fight in the inn, and even killed a servant in public. This is absolutely true and cannot be denied. Princess Tiliana, who returned with them, testified to it herself. Besides..." Luo Yingtian changed the subject and looked at Murong Lingshuang, who was anxiously seeking an answer from Baili Shun.

The plume on her waist subtly proved her identity. Luo Yingtian twisted his fingers and continued, "The Murong family is innocent and selfless, but don't be impulsive. If Miss Murong says something she shouldn't say in public and His Majesty gets angry, the Murong family will not be able to bear it!"

One glory and one glory.

This is to shut her up.

Murong bit her lip unwillingly and looked worriedly at Baili Shun who was standing with his hands behind his back, only to see that he was staring at a corner outside the crowd with a calm expression.

"Please, host."

Murong's eyes were red. She looked at the bottle of liquid and stammered for a long time but didn't know how to stop it.

Baili Shun did not want to embarrass her, nor did he want to show his cowardly hesitation in front of everyone. He waved his long sleeves and calmly took the glass bottle, but did not drink it immediately. Instead, he spoke to the people who were talking.

"The heavens can see that I, Baili Shun, am innocent. Although there was indeed a misunderstanding between me and the Third Prince, the Third Prince and I hit it off right away and we have a mutual sympathy. Now that the Third Prince has been killed, I am also saddened and I only hope that the thief will be brought to justice."

After saying that, Baili Shun opened the bottle cork and drank it in one gulp, despite Lingshuang's confusion.

The sickening sourness passed through his lips and tongue, and almost the moment it was swallowed into his throat, Baili Shun felt an unusual heat rising in his body.

If an ordinary person faced this feeling, he might not feel uncomfortable, but Baili Shun practiced the most evil magic, and his physique was different from that of ordinary people. In just a moment, he felt two streams of air stirring in his abdominal cavity, and his limbs were shaken by the rushing air currents and could not stop trembling.

Supporting his body, Baili Shun's eyes, which had been a little confused just now, suddenly became clear. His back was straight, his body was tall and slender, and there was no trace of panic anymore.

Even after drinking the "poison", he could still remain neither humble nor arrogant, neither anxious nor impatient, with a pair of cold eyes full of arrogance, looking down on everything.

The crowd was either surprised or lamenting or mocking. They all thought this was a chance to bring down Tianshui Tower. They thought the Baili family would never recover from this. They thought Baili Shun would lose everything and fall into the mire! He might even die a miserable death!

Oh, that's wishful thinking.

Lin Ruojin...

Baili Shun's mind moved, and her name flashed through his mind lightly.

To be honest, I suddenly miss her at this moment.

If she were by my side, would she be like Ling Shuang, like she was at the fireworks display that night, showing a nervous expression, pulling herself out of the darkness, and seriously asking herself what happened...

"Baili Shun has a clear conscience. I believe that you two will be able to find out the truth as soon as possible and restore the reputation of Tianshui Tower and the Baili family."

There was a click,

The door of Tianshui Tower was heavily locked.
