The early morning sun slowly shone in, reflecting on Yin Suwan's jade-like face, faintly shrouded in a layer of brilliance.

She looked at herself in the mirror, stunned.

Last night, Qi Hao didn't return to his room for a night, and this seemed to be the first time he didn't share a bed with him in the house.

It is said that he also collapsed drunk in his study......

What was going on to make him, a man who rarely drank, get drunk?

Also, why did he suddenly ask Steward Zhou to pick up some things from the warehouse yesterday and send them to the Fuyuan Courtyard?

"Princess." At this time, Shuang'er came in through the door and whispered in her ear.

Yin Suwan listened to it and sneered: "With her brain, can she come up with this idea?" ”

Shuang'er took the comb in Yin Suwan's hand and combed her hair, and said, "She went to Mrs. Liu's yard yesterday, maybe it was Mrs. Liu's trick." ”

"It won't be catkins." Yin Suwan shook her head and thought: "Although Liu Wu is a little scheming, she is not so blatant, because she is used to being a good person. ”

Shuang'er felt that what Yin Suwan said was right, and nodded: "That...... Shall we expose her? ”

Yin Suwan's eyes were slightly cold, and she sneered: "Why do you want to expose it? ”

When Shuang'er heard this, she disagreed: "Princess, Mrs. Yu, she wants to harm you!" You've been in bad health lately, what if it gets worse? ”

Yin Suwan narrowed her eyes and said quietly: "If you don't follow Madam Yu's wishes, how can you drive Gu Jinxiu out of the palace?" Let the prince completely die to her? ”

After a pause, she beckoned to Shuang'er again: "However, you ...... like this"

Shuang'er came over with his ears, listened to it, and said with wide eyes: "Princess, where can I find a reliable mage?" ”

Yin Suwan glanced at her and said disdainfully: "Money can make ghosts grind, as long as you give enough silver, I'm afraid you won't find a master with superb spells?" ”

Shuang'er swallowed her saliva and whispered, "What the princess said is that the slave maid will do it." ”

With that, she immediately withdrew.

Yin Suwan looked through the window, her gaze fell in the direction of Gyokurowon, and a touch of sarcasm crossed her eyes.

An hour later, when Qi Hao went down, he just entered the Yixin Courtyard, and saw Shuang'er and Baozhu kneeling next to the bed with a handful of snot and tears, while Yin Suwan closed her eyes with a pale face.

Qi Hao was shocked, and said urgently: "What's the matter?" ”

Shuang'er wiped her tears and choked up, "Lord Wang...... From the morning to the present, the young lady has been unconscious and does not speak, and always talks nonsense, and the slave maid asked the doctor to see it, but the doctor said that the young lady is fine. ”

"Woo...... The slave maid went to the Imperial Physician Wei Mansion again, and after Imperial Physician Wei checked the young lady's pulse, she couldn't see anything, and the slave and maid really didn't know what to do. ”

Qi Hao listened, sat down, held Yin Suwan's hand, and called softly: "Wanwan, Wanwan? ”

Yin Suwan's hands seemed to have been soaked in the ice cellar, and it was cold for a while, and her body trembled.

"Don't ...... Don't come over ......."

"Go away...... Go away! ”

Qi Hao lowered his head, only to hear Yin Suwan's vague nonsense.

"Shuang'er, you go again......" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.

"Lord Wang!"

As soon as Madame Jade entered the courtyard, her shrill voice could be heard in the house.

Qi Hao frowned, watched Mrs. Yu pull Mrs. Liu in, and said unhappily: "What are you shouting about?" Didn't you see Wanwan resting? ”

Since Mrs. Yu had Lin Chao, who was close to her, her feelings for Qi Hao were not as strong as before, so her cold and hard attitude towards him gradually became indifferent.

After making a salute, she looked at Yin Suwan and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, the concubine heard that the princess was not feeling well, so she specially came over with Sister Liu to see if there was anyone who could help." ”

Seeing Qi Hao's gloomy gaze coming over, Mrs. Liu lowered her head, blessed her body, and said in a low voice: "The concubine has seen the prince." ”

"Lord Wang, the slave and maid have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." Shuang'er suddenly knelt down and stepped forward, his face solemn.

"Speak!" Qi Hao was focused on Yin Suwan, and she didn't want to pay attention to Shuang'er, but she was worried that what she was going to say was related to Yin Suwan, so she could only tolerate it for the time being.

Shuang'er sniffed, "Last night...... Last night, because the prince stayed in the study, the slave and maid accompanied the princess to sleep in the room. ”

"Around the time of the child, the princess woke up and said that she couldn't sleep, and then asked the slave to light the lamp, and the slave and maid ...... When the slave and maid lit the lamp, they actually ...... I actually saw Jin Mei and Cuiping......"

"Woo...... The two of them were covered in blood, so scary! ”

"Not only the slave maid and the princess, but even the jewel and a few other girls in the Yixin Courtyard have also seen it."

"Nonsense!" After hearing this, Qi Hao scolded coldly: "There are no ghosts in this world at all!" Go, invite Wei Liao again! ”

"Lord Wang, the ancients said, 'I'd rather believe what it has than believe what it doesn't.'" Mrs. Yu sat down and said in a rare seriousness: "Jin Mei and Cuiping died with a cane, and it is not surprising that they turned into powerful ghosts." ”

"Our palace has been sick recently, and the one who has been poisoned, it's better to take advantage of today to find a master with powerful spells, first, to collect those two powerful ghosts, and second, to see what caused our mansion to be unclean!"

"Lord Wang, Sister Yu said yes." Mrs. Liu, who rarely spoke up, actually took the initiative to speak: "Since there are so many people in Yixin Courtyard who have seen the ghosts of those two girls, if you don't find the master to clean them up in time, I'm afraid that after a long time, the haunted things will make people panic, and everyone will talk about it." ”

Qi Hao's eyes swept back and forth between Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yu, pursed his lips, and smiled faintly: "Okay, then the king wants to see what other people are hiding besides the two little ghosts Jin Mei and Cuiping!" ”

"Come on, go and invite the most famous mage in the capital!"

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Du Jiang answered and immediately walked out of the courtyard.

After about half a cup of tea, when Du Jiang came back, he saw a mage in his forties behind him.

The man was dressed in a Taoist robe, thin and thin, looking at the fairy wind and bones, he really had the appearance of becoming an immortal anytime and anywhere.

Since there are powerful ghosts in the house, it is natural to set up a dojo.

The dojo was located in the center of the courtyard of the palace, and the master specially placed a large incense table, on which many incense burners were erected.

He walked around the incense table with an antique peachwood sword in his hand, and there were words in his mouth.

And beside him, there were also seven or eight little mages.

After walking for six or seven laps, he suddenly picked up the rice wine, and then spit on the peachwood sword with a "poof".

Immediately afterwards, the incense burner was filled with smoke, the rune paper was flying, his wrist was flipped, and the peachwood sword slashed horizontally and vertically in the air, attracting onlookers and whispers from all over the house.

It was the first time for everyone to see the scene of the practice, so everyone's eyes were staring straight at the mage, and their expressions were solemn with the mage's every move.

No one dared to speak, and even breathed very lightly, as if they would accidentally startle the gods.

Qi Hao only felt that the mage was dazzling in circles, and the cigarette lit in the incense burner was also very choked, and he looked at this mage with an endless posture, and his heart was very irritable.

"Bang"!

A burst of flames burst out, startling everyone back.

Seeing that the mage had finally stopped, Madame Yu hurriedly asked, "Master, is there anything unusual in this mansion?" ”

The mage did not answer, but pointed in the direction of the Hibiscus Temple with a peachwood sword, stared at it for a moment, and then said, "Who lives there?" ”

Madam Yu glanced at Qi Hao and sneered, "Dare to ask the master, but what's wrong?" ”

The mage sighed, then stretched out a hand, pinched his fingers and calculated, and asked, "I wonder if anyone has died in the mansion recently?" ”

"Dead two rebellious!" Without waiting for Mrs. Yu to speak, Qi Hao said coldly.

The mage shook his head and said with emotion: "No wonder the mansion is full of yin qi, it is really as I thought, there are two more unjust souls!" ”

"Wronged souls?" Qi Hao hooked his lips and said meaningfully: "Those two cheap maids dare to slander and frame their masters, and they are innocent!" Where did the grievances come from? ”

After gently wiping the rice wine on the peachwood sword, the mage beckoned to his disciple and said without changing his face: "Bring the incense burner." ”

"Master." The little mage stepped forward with the incense burner in his hand and said respectfully.

Pointing to the incense in the incense burner, the master said with a heartbeat: "Lord Wang, please see, the normal incense should be low on both sides and high in the middle, and it will not press the incense head, but now it is the opposite, indicating that someone in the house must have done great evil things, and some people died unjustly." ”

Madam Yu was overjoyed in her heart, and said urgently: "Master, how do you crack it?" ”

The mage stretched out his finger again and counted it, and said word by word: "Find out the trouble, clean the portal!" ”

With that, he led his apprentices to the Fuyuan Courtyard.

Qi Hao gave Du Jiang a look, and then instructed Steward Zhou and others to remove the incense case and incense burner.

"Hey, Lord Wang, won't you follow the master to the Fuyuan Courtyard to have a look?" When Mrs. Yu saw Qi Hao turn around and go to Yixin Courtyard, she couldn't help but grab his arm.

Qi Hao shook off Mrs. Yu's hand and said unhurriedly: "This king is afraid that there are too many people who go, and it will alarm some invisible things, so let's go to the Yixin Courtyard and wait for news!" ”

Madame Jade stomped her foot heavily, looking unwilling.

But when she thought that she could dig out something interesting from under the tree in the Hibiscus Courtyard for a while, she didn't bother to care about Qi Hao's attitude.

After returning to Yixin Courtyard, Qi Hao saw that Baozhu was tucking the quilt corner for Yin Suwan, so he waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

Baozhu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Yin Suwan, and retreated.

Qi Hao caressed Yin Suwan's face, noticing that the corners of her mouth were stained with white powder, and her eyes were deep.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Baozhu's hands as if he had hidden something in his sleeves, and he said sharply, "Stop!" ”

Baozhu's body trembled, turned around slowly, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang." ”

Qi Hao looked at the jewel coldly, "Take out the things in your hand." ”

"Lord Wang......" Baozhu was stared at by Qi Hao's sharp eyes, and involuntarily took a step back.

"Take it out!" Qi Hao saw that Baozhu's eyes were dodging, and the anger on his face was even worse.

Baozhu gritted his teeth and handed over the paper bag in the palm of his hand.

After opening the paper package, Qi Hao saw that there was some powder similar to flour inside, and said slowly: "What is this?" ”

"This ...... This is...... Pearl powder. Baozhu took a deep breath and tried to make herself look less flustered: "The slave maid saw that the princess had been restless, thinking that when she was in the Taifu Mansion before, Mama said that taking an appropriate amount of pearl powder could calm her mind, so she ......"

"Oh?" Qi Hao pinched it, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and then carefully twisted it in his hand.

With a "poof", Baozhu knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily and said: "Lord Wang, this is indeed pearl powder, if Lord Wang doesn't believe it, you can ask Imperial Doctor Wei to come and identify it." ”

"The slave has been by the princess's side since she was a child, and she will never do that kind of rebellious thing."

"Lord Wang!"

Under the leadership of Du Jiang, the archmage led a group of small mages, followed by Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu, and the two ladies were followed by the large and small servants in the house, so the group gathered in the courtyard of Yixin Courtyard again.

Qi Hao went out when he heard the sound, looked at Du Jiang holding a red jar in his arms, raised his eyebrows and said, "What is this?" ”

"This was found in Concubine Gu's courtyard." Du Jiang thought about Gu Jinli's light face just now, and said in a low voice: "The mage said that because Concubine Gu buried the witch Gu in the ground, and she was burdened with two unjust souls, Jin Mei and Cui Ping will come back to find the princess. ”

"They...... They want the princess to clear her name. ”

At the beginning, when Shuang'er talked about the soul, Qi Hao just thought it was too absurd.

Then, Mrs. Yu ran over again and said that the house was not clean, and even Mrs. Liu spoke together, and he felt that today's incident must be the same as the previous times, someone was trying to make waves behind his back.

When the mage first held up the peachwood sword and asked who lived in the Fleur Courtyard, he immediately understood.

It turned out that those filthy people were dealing with Gu Jinli this time......

It's just muddying the water in the palace once or twice, but he is still so unrelenting, then don't blame him for being polite!

"Here!" After walking around the courtyard, the mage pointed to the base of the guide wall under the flower bed.

The little mages understood, and soon dug out a black jar from under the flower bed.

The mage opened the jar, and saw a white larva wriggling at the bottom of the black jar.

"Lord Wang, this is a pair of sons and mothers, who should have been fostered together. Since the mother and son are separated, such a Gu has a very strong grudge, if it is dripped with human blood again, then the person in the Gu will lose his yang energy. ”

"Those who lose their yang energy will have their yin energy flourishing, so that they will easily get dirty things."

After listening to the mage's explanation, everyone looked back and pondered for a moment, and instantly understood what was going on.

At that time, Jin Mei personally confessed that the hairpin was instigated by Cui Ping, and it was she who gave her the idea to poison Gu Jinli.

And Cui Ping confessed to all the charges, and presumably was threatened or instructed by Gu Jinli, and finally became a scapegoat.

So, why did Gu Jinli poison herself?

The reason must be to get Qi Hao's attention with this!

Because of her, Jin Mei and Cui Ping died unjustly.

And Gu Jinli had a vicious mind to Yin Suwan, so the two maids would appear in front of the princess Yin Suwan, who was lacking in yang energy!

Qi Hao suppressed the boredom in his heart, turned his head and asked Du Jiang, "What did Gu Jinxiu say?" ”

Du Jiang said: "Concubine Gu...... She said, everything is up to the king! ”

"That's it?" Qi Hao frowned slightly, and unconsciously raised his voice.

He also said...... If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! Du Jiang coughed lightly twice, and his voice was a little quieter.

Qi Hao listened, his eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't say a word.

What does she mean by that? Is he sure that he will deal with her indiscriminately?

Or is she gambling with him because of something?

Seeing that Qi Hao was silent, the mage said: "Also, the life of the people in that courtyard is too hard, and it belongs to the fate chart of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, which is inconsistent with the prince's eight characters, if you continue to stay in the mansion, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to the people in the mansion." ”

"At least it will linger on the sickbed, and at worst it will be a disaster of blood and light."

Qi Hao's thin lips were pursed, and he said after a long time: "According to the master's meaning, if that person leaves the palace, the palace will be peaceful?" ”

The mage stroked his already sparse beard, and said solemnly: "Don't hide it from the prince, that person's fate is not good, especially with the princess, so please think about it carefully." ”

"This king only asks you, is it that if she leaves, Wanwan will be fine? The ghosts in the house can also be removed? Qi Hao raised the corners of his lips, looking serious, but only Du Jiang noticed the coldness behind his smile.

The mage nodded heavily, "If Concubine Gu leaves, the unjust soul that haunts the princess will also follow, and she will no longer make trouble in the princess's courtyard." ”

"Well, this king knows." Qi Hao glanced at the mage, then turned and walked back into the room.

Everyone was very puzzled when they saw Qi Hao's attitude.

After Du Jiang sent the mage and his disciples away, when he saw Qi Hao leaving the Yixin Courtyard, he stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, your subordinates have already sent someone to keep an eye on it." ”

Qi Hao said "um", took out the paper bag found from the jewel from his sleeve, and handed it to him: "This king doesn't look like pearl powder, you go and send someone to find out what it is." ”

Du Jiang answered and immediately flew away.

Qi Hao walked towards the study, thinking about what Gu Jinli asked Du Jiang to relay.

If he really followed the mage's wishes to drive Gu Jinli away, did he just follow her wishes?

Thinking like this, his steps grew heavier and heavier.

After Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu sent the mage away in Du Jiang, the two of them saw that Qi Hao did not have an accurate statement, so they had to walk to their courtyard unhappily.

"Sister, what do you mean by the prince? The mage had already found the Mother and Son Gu from the Fuyuan Courtyard, why did he have to keep that scourge in the mansion? Madame Yu tugged at the veil vigorously, and her apricot eyes were full of resentment.

"Sister Jade, don't worry, the prince has his own ideas, let's wait and see what happens." Mrs. Liu stroked her hair bun with a faint expression.

"Sister!" Seeing Mrs. Liu's salty and indifferent appearance, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but get anxious: "I finally sent someone to sneak into those two courtyards and hide the jar underground, but there was no result, do you think I can be happy?" ”

"Sister, you and I have been with the prince for a long time, don't you know the prince's temperament? What he has to do is never something we can interfere with. Mrs. Liu sighed faintly, looked at the bluestone path under her feet, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, it's about to be Qixi Festival!" ”

"I still remember when I was in the palace before, every Qixi Festival, the Queen Mother and her old man would give us a day off, and it was ...... at that time."

Mrs. Liu had just opened the box of memories, but was interrupted by Mrs. Yu's impatient rudeness: "Sister, how many years ago, don't talk about it anymore!" ”

Her face froze, and Mrs. Liu pointed to her yard not far away, and said with a smile: "Sister, I still have some things, so I'll go back first, and I'll go to your yard another day." ”

After that, she didn't wait for Mrs. Yu to respond, so she left with Xueqin without looking back.

"Huh!" Mrs. Yu didn't expect Mrs. Liu to dare to drop herself, spat on the ground, and turned her head angrily to walk in the direction of Yulu Courtyard.

"Master, Mrs. Yu has that temperament, you can't be angry with her." Xueqin quietly looked at Madame Liu as she followed her.

Mrs. Liu snorted coldly, and said in a mocking tone: "Over the years, if I really had been worried about her every time, wouldn't I have been angry to death?" ”

Xueqin echoed: "The master is magnanimous, so naturally he is not as knowledgeable as her. ”

Mrs. Liu thought of something and asked, "How is Lin Chao doing over there?" ”

Xueqin blushed and whispered, "Hmm...... The slave didn't ask yet. ”

Mrs. Liu frowned and said unhappily: "Let him hurry up and strive for one-time success!" ”

Xueqin nodded, "Yes, master." ”

Mrs. Liu imagined Mrs. Yu's coquettish and charming appearance on the bed, and said quietly: "By the way, Liang Yu said before that when she did it with the prince, her favorite was the!" ”

"You tell Lin Chao to let Liang Yu kneel like a and ensure that she conceives a man in one fell swoop!"

"Uh...... The slave and maid know. Xueqin has been with Mrs. Liu for many years, and the first time she heard Mrs. Liu say such a meaty thing, her face turned even redder.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, raised her hand to hook Xueqin's chin, and said slowly: "Serve me well tonight, and you will naturally eat and drink spicy food in the future." ”

Xueqin hung her head shyly and squirmed "um".

Mrs. Liu pinched Xueqin's waist again before entering the Qiu Ju Courtyard.

In the Fleur Courtyard, after Aiyue filled in the pit dug by the mage in the courtyard, she patted the dust on her hands and returned to the room with a pout: "Miss, tell me, why do you have to rely on us every time something happens in this mansion?" ”

"What is the incompatibility, what is the lonely star? They're going to drive us away, and we're desperate! ”

"This place, do you really think we're willing to stay?"

Gu Jinli half-leaned on the soft collapse and flipped through the medical book, and said in a light tone: "What are Rouge and Jinse doing?" ”

Aiyue pursed her lips and said, "Rouge is taking care of Hexiang, and Jinse should be in the backyard." ”

Gu Jinli's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I've been watching the two of them recently. ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Aiyue was puzzled: "Miss, the two of them are quite well-behaved!" The officer is diligent and doesn't talk much, so there should be no problem. ”

Gu Jinli closed the book and looked straight at Aiyue, "Except for the people in the Fuyuan Courtyard, who else do you think can hide that mother and son in my courtyard without knowing it?" ”

With a sneer, she continued, "Last night, after dinner, you splashed that bowl of Sihong soup under the tree, and after the soup soaked into the ground overnight, the soil would turn red. ”

"And the mud on Jinse's shoes is red, which means that she must have gone under the tree."

"Today, a mage suddenly popped out of the mansion, and there was an extra jar in the Fuyuan Courtyard for some reason, why do you say this?"

Aizuki opened her mouth, "Miss means ......"

"Wait, we'll find out soon." Gu Jinli yawned, turned over and found a comfortable position and closed her eyes.

Aiyue saw that Gu Jinli wanted to take a nap, so she quietly stepped aside.
