Chapter 20: Pretending to be a ghost

"Do you hear that? The three princes are handling official business in the backyard today, and this is our great opportunity. ”

"Yes, yes, the meaning of the queen mother during the day is clear, as long as we can get the attention of the three princes......"

A few people chattered a few words, and decided to go over tonight to see the situation.

In the eyes of this group of fanatical maidens, haunting is not much of a matter at all.

Mu Qing naturally didn't plan to scare people away directly by relying on the legend of the haunting, so naturally there must be real ghosts.

"Miss, why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare away these people?"

"Naturally...... Naturally, I don't want them to fall into the eyes of the three princes, if the three princes fall in love with them, won't I, the princess, become a joke. ”

Mu Qing casually made an excuse, but he got Xin'er's support.

"Niangniang, don't worry, Xin'er will definitely help you!"

This stupid girl.

Mu Qing didn't explain too clearly, just instructed Xin'er what to do for a while, and then sat down in front of the bronze mirror and tinkered with the paints and various cosmetics that had been prepared on the table.

Fortunately, I learned this skill with my sister at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

About half an hour passed, and the heart that helped his young lady bring in the clothes was almost frightened by Mu Qing, who had put on makeup, and fainted on the spot, but fortunately, the room was still bright at this time.

"Don't call, don't call, I'm Mu Qing."

"Mother's ......"

Xin'er patted his chest in shock, and he still felt terrible when he looked at it again.

Not only is his face covered with scars, but his mouth is also cracked, and most importantly, he looks like a female ghost who has died unjustly.

She didn't know when her young lady had learned this skill.

It's really scary to look at!

"Okay, okay, help me get dressed, then sprinkle some red paint on my clothes, and you'll do as I say in a moment, understand."

Xin'er nodded.

……

The backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

A few maids walked cautiously along the road.

The backyard was desolate.

There wasn't even a candle flame inside, only some candlelight in the study in the distance, which seemed to be someone's presence.

"It seems that what the third princess said is right, it seems that the third prince is in the study, let's go quickly, it's weird here."

"It's okay, it's okay, this is the ...... of the third prince's mansion."

Mu Qing saw a few maids coming over, and hurriedly gave Xin'er a look, and Xin'er shook the trees on the side vigorously and made a sassy sound.

"Wait, what kind of sound is this, why is there no wind, but the sound of trees......"

One of the timid maids was already trembling.

Just when a few maids were suspicious, Mu Qing blew out the only candle that was originally lit in the backyard and slowly stepped out of the shadow of the tree.

"I ...... Dead...... It's miserable......"

"Ahh Ghost, ghost is out! Help me! ”

When a few maids saw Mu Qing, whose face was covered with blood and blurred flesh and blood, they fainted directly in place, and the rest of the people had already rushed out of the courtyard in a smoke, and there was no shadow for a long time.

"Cut, I haven't played it at all, why did I run away one by one!"

Mu Qing ruffled his hair, was slapped on the back unexpectedly, and screamed in fright.

"Why is it that the third princess is pretending to be a ghost herself, but she is scared."

Looking back, it turned out to be Bailichen.

Mu Qing helped his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Three Princes." She saluted, "After this incident has passed, presumably these people will not stay in the mansion, and it can be regarded as helping the third prince solve this matter, and please ask the third prince to have a large number, forgive me for overhearing the conversation between the two before." ”

Seeing Mu Qing behaving like this to himself, Bai Lichen's heart felt a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it was yesterday's actions that scared her.

"Originally, I didn't want to doubt you, in the end, the ninth brother didn't know you very well, thinking that you were the queen's person, so he treated you like this."

"Originally, it was also my fault, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the concubines went back first, and the clothes were not very good after all."

Mu Qing only felt that the identity of the third prince in front of him was not simple.

All she wanted now was to get away as soon as possible.

"Okay."

If he got Bailichen, Mu Qing ran away as soon as he slipped away.

Only Bai Lichen shook his head helplessly.

It seems that this Mu Qing is really afraid of himself, and if he calculates it like this, he still has more to gain than to lose.

"Miss, miss, you wait for the slave."

Xin'er hurriedly followed Mu Qing and shouted.

"I'm scared to death......"

Mu Qing thought about the appearance of Bai Lichen behind him just now, and felt that the other party seemed to be more like a ghost in the dark than himself.

The most terrifying thing is how he knew that he was pretending to be a ghost in the backyard, and she never told Bai Lichen about this matter at all.

Could it be that his every move on weekdays is under the surveillance of Bailichen?

Thinking of this, Mu Qing's surroundings were cold.

"Are you the only two of us who came over with the Mu family?"

Mu Qing changed his clothes and instructed the little servant to prepare a huge bath bucket.

After soaking in the barrel, she relaxed slightly.

"Yes, Niangniang, have you forgotten, when you left, you only took the slave maid and Mama Chen with you."

Heart sprinkled the rose petals into the barrel little by little.

"Okay...... In this way, the little maids and maids here are all from the prince's mansion? ”

"Yes, Niangniang, what's wrong, is there a little girl who is disrespectful to you?"

Mu Qing shook his head.

Everything here was obviously prepared by Bai Lichen, and he must have arranged for someone to keep an eye on him, such as Xiaoyun, a hair-combing maid who combs his hair on weekdays, and the red leaves who are responsible for sweeping the yard.

Even Mama Zhang, who delivered the food.

The only real henchmen around her are Xin'er Chen Mama.

"It's okay, I thought there were other people from the Mu family coming along."

Mu Qing casually found an excuse and diverted the conversation.

Now it's better to coax Bai Lichen to believe that she is not a spy, lest the other party become suspicious and sick at that time, and directly give herself the result, so isn't she wronged to die.

Although she is now the third imperial concubine, her original identity is just the daughter of a fourth-rank official, even if she dies in the prince's mansion, others will not suspect anything.

"I don't know what kind of script I got, why was it so miserable at the beginning, and there was no golden finger ......"

Mu Qing whispered a few words.

The heart over there only felt strange, since her own young lady had an accident before, she seemed to have become different from before.

There are always things that I don't understand.

But forget it, as long as Miss doesn't get bullied, compared to before, she still likes the current Miss.
