Chapter 12: Driving Out the Dead

I stood and watched her eat a stick of incense, I was a little tired and didn't want to pretend anymore, so I made a snort in my mouth.

Aunt Na immediately stacked the empty bowls together, put them on the tray, and sent them to the door.

"Ahem." She coughed, wiped her mouth, and walked up to me.

I stared at her in a daze, and only after a long time did I ask vaguely, "Huh?" Aunt Zheng, why are you here? ”

With that, I rubbed my eyes and pressed my temples.

I'm not pressing this for pretending, but I really have a headache, or the kind that hurts, as if there is a meridian in my head that is beating violently.

"Aunt Zhen, I have a headache." I pressed my head and said in pain.

"Really? I probably didn't sleep last night, so go to the bed and lie down, sleep for a while, and it's fine. She coaxed me and helped me to the edge of the bed.

He also covered me with a futon and let me have a good rest.

I closed my eyes and ignored her.

She stood at the head of my bed for a moment, and when she saw that I had closed her eyes, she turned and went out of the house.

And my eyelids were heavy, because of the severe headache, so I didn't sleep well, my body involuntarily curled up into a ball, and I fell asleep in a daze.

If it weren't for a few little palace maids calling me, I think I would have slept straight into the night.

The little palace maids brought hot water to wash me, and I was a little drowsy, and after signaling them to put down the hot water, I took off my clothes and soaked in the hot water.

As soon as the hot water soaked, I was half awake, and when I looked at the small dresser on the edge of the bed, I found that I was extremely pale in the bronze mirror, as if I had been ill for a long time.

And in front of my chest, there is still a black thing hanging from it?

I lowered my eyes and found that this black thing was a triangular "rune" folded by the Stygian North Lin for me, but it was white before, why is it black now?

It seems that the evil aura on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really heavy, and this "talisman" should have saved my life last night.

I reached out and touched the Rune, and it fell apart, ashes and hot water.

It seemed that it was useless, so I took off the red rope and sighed slightly, but I was reluctant to lose the red rope, so I tied it directly to my wrist.

I began to ponder the "corpse soup" in my heart again, the name is scary enough, but it is quite appropriate.

A few years ago, when we were passing through Shonan City with Master, we met a corpse chaser, and at that time, we also saw a corpse chaser walking in front of him with a bell dangling, and behind him was a neat row of corpses.

These corpse chasers are engaged in the trade of bringing the corpses of dead guests back to their hometowns.

At that time, I thought that this corpse chaser was very mysterious, and if I shook the bell, those corpses would follow the corpse chaser.

Now that it has happened to me, I feel not mysterious, but fearful.

It's as if there is someone who can control your every move, and your body is no longer your own.

"Girl? Is the girl washed? The palace maid outside the door waited for a long time, but she didn't see me calling, so she opened her mouth to ask.

I came back to my senses and found that the water was already cold, so I got up and wiped my body and changed into clothes, but because I was weak and tired, I just sat on the wooden chair and beckoned them to come in and carry the tub away.

After the palace maids carried away the bath tub, I became more and more uneasy, and seeing that the sky was about to get dark again, I had to think carefully about how to deal with Aunt Zheng's "corpse soup".

The "corpse soup" has too much stamina, as long as it is swallowed, it can make people become like "dead corpses", at their mercy.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't think of any good way, and my mood began to become extremely impatient.

But what should come will still come, and the night will still be dark after all, but after eating the dinner they supplied, I didn't wait for Aunt Zhen.

Just when I thought that they would not give me a "corpse soup" tonight, the footsteps outside the door rang again.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and this time, it was not only Aunt Zhen, but also Grandpa Sun, and Xiao Ce who brought us into the palace!

Why did Xiao Ce come? My heart was pounding, and watching him move closer to me made me feel as if death was coming.

"Lord Priest, it's her, it's been two days, and her body looks really good, and she has eaten all her fine dinner today." Grandpa Sun spoke to Xiao Ce very respectfully, and he was always half-bent over.

Xiao Ce lowered his cold eyes and stared at my face for a long time.

I didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, thinking in my heart, this human skin mask, don't be seen, otherwise my life will be in danger now.

"Raise your hand." Xiao Ce stared at me and said coldly.

I didn't dare to look at him, and I trembled and stretched out my hand.

His hand grabbed my wrist and looked towards my palm.

It's probably about my palm prints, right? However, there are no lines in my palm.

"Do you feel unwell these days?" He looked at me and asked.

I thought to myself, if I wasn't unwell, they would pour me more "corpse soup", so I immediately nodded at Xiao Ce.

"I have a headache!" I put it bluntly.

"Huh! There are no rules, get up and kneel, and talk back! Aunt Zhen on the side immediately scolded.

"Not necessarily." Xiao Ce raised his hand, his eyes were still staring at me: "In addition to the headache, what else is uncomfortable?" ”

"All day, I felt groggy and uncomfortable." I said, raising my hand and pressing it to my forehead.

Xiao Ce stared at me and asked again, "In the past two nights, have you just kneeled in the prince's bedroom?" ”

"Huh?" I thought to myself, after drinking the "corpse soup", I was controlled by them, under normal circumstances, I shouldn't know what I did at night, Xiao Ce asked, is he trying to trick me?

So, I looked at him blankly and asked, "What dormitory?" ”

Xiao Ce was silent, looked at my face for a long time, and then waved his hand, and Grandpa Sun immediately served a bowl of soup.

As soon as I looked at the color of the soup, I knew it was a "corpse soup".

However, Xiao Ce poured out half of the soup before handing me the porcelain bowl.

Presumably, he wanted me to hold out a few more days.

When I looked at the "corpse soup", I felt pantothenic acid in my throat.

"Lord Priest, whatever you ask me to do, I will be obedient, can I not drink this soup? The smell of this soup is terrible. I pleaded.

"Drink!" Xiao Ce ordered coldly.

"Priest, me?" I wanted to speak again, but Xiao Ce was already impatient and handed the decoction to Grandpa Sun.

Without saying a word, Grandpa Sun came over and grabbed my neck and poured half a bowl of "corpse soup" into my mouth.
