"Where did the queen mother go? Erchen acted like this for the sake of Xiao Xiao and Xie Wei. Yang Guang hurriedly argued.

"Mother doesn't want to see a second An Ruoxi next to you!" Dugu Jialuo glanced at the Yuan clan and said unabashedly.

As soon as she mentioned An Ruoxi, Yang Guangdeng lost the interest in continuing to do homely things, and lowered his head and was silent.

At this time, a palace maid came to report, saying that the splendid palace where the crown princess was arranged to live was ready to stop, and asked the Yuan family to go and inspect it.

Dugu Jialuo then took the opportunity to advise the Yuan family: "You live alone in the Splendid Palace for two days, and after the prince is called back to Beijing, you can go to the Splendid Palace to live with you." ”

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere in the palace, the Yuan family also wanted to get out as soon as possible to see the residence arranged by the queen for her in the palace, so he got up and said yes, said goodbye to Dugu Jialuo, and turned to leave.

After the Yuan clan left the main hall of Zhengyang Palace, Yang Guangfang raised his head and asked Dugu Jialuo: "Queen Mother, when the son was in the Linde Palace, I heard my father also say that the palace was haunted, I don't know what the situation is?" ”

Dugu Jialuo sighed and replied: "Yesterday I invited the gods to enter the palace to investigate, according to the gods, perhaps the construction of the new capital was too hasty, and the Daxing Palace and the east palace where the prince lived were built in the terrain depression, so the hot flashes in the summer and the cold in the winter are very easy to attract ghosts. No, I heard the crown princess talk about the haunted situation of the East Palace just now, and it is quite different from the Daxing Palace: there are often people in the Daxing Palace who are in a trance recently, like a delusion, and what's more, just before Er'er moved into the palace last night, a palace eunuch found a frightened palace maid outside the Linshu Palace; In the East Palace, according to the Yuan family, a ghost appeared every night, constantly carrying something back and forth. Do you think it's weird? ”

Yang Guang heard that the palace maid was scared to death last night, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Er worriedly, seeing that she nodded to himself silently, Fang believed that what the queen mother said was true, so he continued to ask: "How does the queen mother know that the palace maid outside the Linshu Hall was frightened to death, not died of other reasons?" ”

"Er'er, and the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau have come to take a look, the palace maid has no external injuries on her body, and no signs of poisoning have been found, she is not scared to death, what can it be? There are rumors in the palace that it was Liu Yi and other ghosts who plotted against the rebellion that took away the soul of the palace maid. In this regard, there is nothing to be done about the immortals, and there is only one person to count on at the moment. Dugu Jialuo replied with a little frustration.

When Yang Guang heard what the queen mother said, he was even more worried about the safety of Xiao E's mother and son, stood up, and hugged his fist at Dugu Jialuo and begged: "Queen Mother, please allow your son to live in the palace tonight." ”

Dugu Jia looked at his son, and then at Xiao E, and seemed to understand that Yang Guang was not worried about Xiao E's mother and son, so he asked to move into the palace to live with her mother and son, so he nodded and agreed to his request.

"Lord Wang, when you first returned to Chang'an, you became the pastor of Yongzhou, if you move into the palace to live, I'm afraid it will not be convenient for you to see people every day, so you can handle official business." Although Xiao E also hoped that her husband could be by her side, she still reminded Yang Guangdao.

"The princess is too worried, I will still go back to our house to deal with official business during the day, and then enter the palace to live at night, isn't it. Moreover, I also hold the position of Inner History Order, and I also need to participate in the handling of government affairs in the palace, so I don't have to do anything. Yang Guang turned around and smiled at Xiao Er and explained to her.

Because Yang Guang has been busy investigating and handling cases for the past two days after returning to Beijing, and he hasn't bothered to see his sister-in-law Yang Zhao, the husband and wife have a conversation with Dugu Jialuo, so they got up and said goodbye, walked out of Zhengyang Palace hand in hand, and walked towards Lanzhi Palace, where Xiao E's mother and son lived.

Along the way, Yang Guang couldn't help but ask Xiao E: "Last night, you really went to inspect the body of that palace maid, aren't you afraid?" ”

Xiao E smiled slightly, and replied half-jokingly: "The queen mother calls me a goddess, and she is counting on me to move into the palace to live, so that I can suppress the evil spirit in the palace." What if I, the goddess, were intimidated? ”

Yang Guang was grateful, pulled Xiao E's hand and held it in his palm, comforting her: "I'm sorry for you." However, from tonight onwards, you don't have to be afraid, I will come into the palace to accompany you. ”

Xiao Er glanced at Yang Guang embarrassedly, reminded him that there were still two palace maids behind him, Chi Shao and Luluo, gently withdrew his hand from Yang Guang's palm, and asked Yang Guangdao: "Does the prince really believe that there are ghosts and monsters in this world?" When I was a child, I heard my master tell me that all ghosts and demons are just nonsense, and most of them are just made up by people in the world for some purpose. ”

As a time-traveler who traveled back to the Sui Dynasty in the 21st century, Yang Guang naturally didn't believe that there were really demons and monsters in the world, and of course he didn't believe that Xiao E was a so-called goddess with the divine power to subdue demons and drive away ghosts, but when he heard Xiao E's words, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked her thoughtfully: "You don't believe that the palace is really haunted, how can you explain the fact that the palace maid was frightened and died outside the Linshu Palace?" ”

Xiao E looked back, and saw that the two maids, Chi Shao and Luluo, deliberately distanced themselves from themselves and Yang Guang, so they approached Yang Guang and said quietly: "I think someone is pretending to be a ghost and deliberately causing trouble in the palace. It's just that there is no evidence, and he didn't say it directly to the queen mother. ”

"Then in addition to asking you to move into the palace to live, and besides, please come and enter the palace to check, the father and mother have not taken other countermeasures to prevent another disaster in the palace?" Yang Guang believed that even if the queen mother Dugu Jialuo was convinced of the haunting in the palace, his father Yang resolutely would not easily think that the palace maid outside the Linshu Palace was frightened to death by the evil ghost that suddenly appeared, and most of them would make other arrangements.

"Well, I don't know." Xiao Er shook his head.

Lanzhi Palace is not far from Zhengyang Palace, where the queen lives every day, and the Splendid Palace where the crown princess Yuan lives, and the husband and wife have walked outside the gate of the Splendid Palace while talking.

"The last general Qianniu prepares Guo Yan to see His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Princess Jin."

Inadvertently, a fully uniformed forbidden army general Zuo flashed out from the gate of the Splendid Palace, bowed to Yang Guang and Xiao E, and saluted with fists.

"Did the Queen Mother send you to the Splendid Palace to protect the crown princess?" Yang Guang stopped, looked Guo Yan up and down, and saw that he was of medium height, white face and short beard, and he was about twenty-four or five years old, with a calm and capable body, and couldn't help but have a good impression of him, and asked casually.

"Lord Wang, the last general was ordered by the emperor to come to the palace to patrol the night and be on guard, and just accompanied the princess to check the Jinxiu Palace, and was about to go to Lanzhi Palace, but I happened to meet the prince and the princess." Guo Yan replied calmly.

"Since he is a strong man who entered the palace to catch ghosts on the orders of his father, he might as well go all the way." Yang Guang turned his head and exchanged glances with Xiao E, and instructed Guo Yan.

Guo Yan took the order, strode in front of Yang Guang and Xiao E, and led the way for the two.

"The general really has the ability to hunt ghosts?" Yang Guang saw that Fang Cai called him a strong man who was ordered to catch ghosts, Guo Yan was not humble at all, and couldn't help but ask him strangely.

"Back to the prince, the skills next to the last general are not very outstanding, and this courage alone is bigger than others, so the general recommended the last general to the emperor to come to the palace to patrol the night." Guo Yan replied truthfully.
