Chapter 196: The Ghost Lingers (Part II)
For a few days, except for the night, there was no peace, and even during the day, evil things continued to happen. As soon as the mist opened the door, the glass on the roof fell down; There were a lot of women's hair floating in the tank; If you go to the well to fetch water, you will pick up some inexplicable things, and the servants of Yuming Palace will recognize that those hairpin makeup mirrors and other things that have been fished up are all Yin's things.
Shui Mist was frightened, but still refused to leave Fu Qizheng and return to Jingyi Palace, Fu Qizheng didn't care about these tricks of pretending to be ghosts, sometimes he felt ridiculous, the Yin family had been gone for many years, how could those Zhu Hai jewelry still be found in the well. But it's not a way for the mist to be frightened all day long, and it is still necessary to catch the "ghost" behind the scenes.
Fu Qizheng sat in the room and thought about it repeatedly, the ground he saw in the main hall that day was unusually clean, most of them had been cleaned by someone recently, and he guessed that most of the female ghosts that appeared at night were hiding inside, and he decided to go and find out tonight.
At night, when the ghost flashed in front of the window, Fu Qizheng opened the door, as the previous times, there was still nothing, looked down and saw a page of paper on the ground, leaned over to pick it up and walked back to the house, and looked at the candle flame, the words on it were actually written in blood, and whispered: "The former concubine, this night is ghostly, earthly grievances, and sometimes retribution." ”
Shui Wu asked stunned, "Is this ...... That's really that...... Did the ghost of the Yin family write it? ”
Fu Qizheng didn't speak, folded the paper, and found a box to pick it up.
Shui Wu was very surprised: "The master still plans to keep this bad thing?" ”
Fu Qizheng said lightly: "If you don't keep it for comparison, how can you know who wrote these words." "She had never believed in any of the wrongdoers. People with ulterior motives want to torture her with these strange things, most likely because they think she will be afraid. After all, in the past, in order to see what Fahrenheit wanted, she pretended to follow Fahrenheit's trap and was afraid of ghosts and gods, and she couldn't sleep at night. Being seen by others is remembered as Fu Qizheng's weakness.
"Ah, there it is." Shui Mist looked frightened and pointed to the door.
Fu Qizheng turned around, and only cared about coming in to see the abbreviation on the paper, but before he could close the door, he happened to see the female ghost "floating" in the direction of the main hall. Fu Qizheng chased after him, and the white-clothed ghost really disappeared near the main hall. Fu Qizheng stood in front of the main hall and looked around. There was no one around, and he turned to look at the main hall, and there was a candlestick in front of the door. Fu Qizheng walked to the door of the main hall and wanted to push the door open, but he didn't know what would be behind this door, and it was quiet in the dead of night. I can't help but feel a little scared.
Fu Qizheng mustered up the courage to push open the door of the temple. It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen, so he took the candlestick in front of the door, stretched out into the temple and shone it, but he still couldn't see clearly, so he slowly walked into the hall, and held the candlestick and shone it around, but it was empty. Nothing, slightly relieved. When he turned around, he was suddenly shocked. The white-clothed female ghost appeared in front of the door, and suddenly Fu Qizheng was so frightened that the candlestick in his hand fell to the ground, and a fire ignited in an instant.
This sudden fire frightened Fu Qizheng, the female ghost in front of the door had disappeared, but the fire had blocked the way out, Fu Qizheng had to retreat to the hall, looking at the raging flames, panicked.
There were a lot of people outside: "Hurry, put out the fire." ”
"Master." The mist cried outside.
At this moment, a figure rushed in: "Concubine." ”
Fu Qizheng was frightened and looked at Qi Huanyi in a daze.
"It's dangerous here, get out of here." Qi Huanyi took off the soaked cloak and draped it on Fu Qizheng, pulled her and ran out quickly.
Outside, many forbidden troops have begun to extinguish the fire, but fortunately, Qi Huanyi appeared in time, this time it was just a thrill.
Seeing that Fu Qizheng was safe and sound, Shui Wu cried with joy: "Fortunately, the master is fine, otherwise how can the slave explain to the princess, is the master injured?" ”
Fu Qizheng kept silently looking at the gradually extinguishing fire, his expression was wooden, and he still did not come to his senses.
Fang Tongyu said: "General, it's caught, it's these minions who pretend to be ghosts." ”
Fu Qizheng came back to his senses, and in a blink of an eye, several inner prisoners knelt on the ground, and there was still the "female ghost" standing on one side, Fu Qizheng approached, brushed away the black hair that hid his face, the "true face" of this female ghost was actually a person who was pierced with straw. Looking at the kneeling inner prisoner again, he was even more shocked, and the leader was Gonggong Liu, who kept saying that he remembered her kindness.
"Say, By whom ye are commanded?" Qi Huanyi interrogated.
None of the several internal prisoners refused to speak, and it didn't take long for them to fall to the ground one after another, foaming at the mouth, Qi Huanyi went up to check, but they all lost their breath.
Fu Qizheng couldn't help but raise his lips and sneered: "I have fallen to this step in the field, and there are still people who want to take my life." ”
"Don't worry, the concubine will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Killing people and killing people without proof, everything is calculated, just wait for me to be buried in the sea of fire, these minions will be killed immediately, if it weren't for the general, I'm afraid I would become the real soul in this Yuming Palace."
"These supervisors have poured fire oil in the hall first, just waiting for the concubine to enter."
Fu Qizheng recalled that before, the candlestick was found by the door, I thought it was a person who pretended to be a ghost and dodged it in a panic and put it outside the door, but I didn't expect everything to be a trap, starting from entering the Yuming Palace, her every step was in the hands of the people behind the scenes.
Although the fire was extinguished, Fu Qizheng still had many questions in his heart, and it was inconvenient to speak here, so he and Qi Huanyi went out of Yuming Palace.
"Thank you General for saving me from danger again, please bow to Qizheng." Fu Qizheng waved his hand.
"The concubine master doesn't need to say thank you, the minister said that he will protect the concubine master at any time."
"The general came so at such a timely time, could it be that he already knew about their plot in advance?"
"Today, I heard that Miss Fu said that someone in Yuming Palace was pretending to be a ghost, so the minister took a few people to hide in the dark to find out, the reason why the female ghost came and went without a trace was because they hid on the roof and manipulated it with a rope, but I didn't expect that their purpose was not just to scare the concubine."
Fu Qizheng smiled bitterly: "The pretending to be a ghost a few days ago was just for today, deliberately making me suspicious, and then leading me out to find out, and then putting me in the sea of fire, such a well-designed trap, the people behind the scenes are really well-intentioned." ”
"The reason why they are so bold is only because the identity of the concubine is ...... now" Qi Huanyi paused, and he couldn't bear to say it.
Of course, Fu Qizheng knew what he wanted to say, so he continued: "Now that I am just a last class, they can bully wantonly, this is an excellent time, not to start now, let alone when." He raised the corners of his lips again, and said coldly, "It's a pity that my Fu Qizheng shouldn't die!" ”
The fire in Yuming Palace was extinguished in time, and only some things in the palace were burned, and nothing else was damaged. It was rumored that Fu Qizheng accidentally knocked over the candlestick, but Fu Qizheng was unscathed, and there were people in the palace who liked it and someone who liked it. Since it didn't cause any consequences, the matter didn't make any waves, and it was turned over quietly, but the resentment in Fu Qizheng's heart was already deep. (To be continued.) )
