Chapter 31: The Palace Is Haunted
Jiang Xinyi understands that this is useless, if the "big bird" that smoked her away last time is still on the tree, if he is there, he will not die and will not be saved, unless the dead perverted prince really wants her to die.
She carried the footwash water and moved to the root of the wall lightly, although she had already experienced a life-and-death struggle, and the blind cat touched the dead mouse and injured the assassin, that night when the soul was out of the body, I learned that the assassin named Bixia was killed when she went back, and the cause of death was that she had suffered a very serious internal injury before she made a move, or the death pervert beat her, so Jiang Xinyi did not have the slightest sense of guilt, and threw the responsibility to Wen Yuxin.
But at this time, she was still nervous, her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and in a panic, she even forgot to put down the footbath and hurry to find a weapon to defend.
Jiang Xinyi felt the hesitation of the people outside the wall a little, could he also be afraid? Why don't you come in and rub around there? Feelings are tormenting me mentally! Thinking of this, she slowly calmed down, and was thinking about whether to strike first, when she saw a person stepping over the wooden plank blocked at the gate and had already entered the courtyard, the moment the person's face turned to her, Jiang Xinyi poured the footwashing water in her hand head-on, because the distance was very close, so it was splashed squarely, so that some water droplets were splashed on Jiang Xinyi's own body.
Judging by the moonlight, the person who came was a young man, and before he could react, he opened his eyes that were closed because he was splashed with water, and stared at Jiang Xinyi for a few seconds, "Ghost, help." He cried out in horror.
didn't wait for Jiang Xinyi to throw away the empty foot basin and plan to pull open the shelf and fight with him, he had already screamed and fled out, and tripped over the door panel, and didn't dare to continue running when he got up, "Help, there are ghosts." His miserable wails rang from near to far, making them particularly chilling in the silence of the night.
Ah, why did this guy drop his chain so much? It's just a basin of footwater, as for it? Grandma's, what's this called? Bai Dan was frightened for a long time.
Jiang Xinyi muttered back to the house, changed into clean clothes, fortunately it was her own foot washing water, otherwise she would have to be disgusted for half a year.
Thinking that it was time to clean the mask on her face and go to sleep, she suddenly came to her senses, walked to the dresser and looked, my obedient, no wonder he shouted that there was a ghost, I saw her in the mirror, because she applied a homemade mask, her face was pale, her eyes were dark, her small mouth was even more red, her hair was draped like this, and the clothes she changed just now were all white, what is this not a ghost?
Quack, you deserve to be scared to death, the thief should not be a good person.
Jiang Xinyi washed off the mask on her face, touched her smooth and tender little face with satisfaction, didn't forget to touch a few plums before getting into the quilt, and closed her eyes while eating, what will be the arrangement for tomorrow, it doesn't matter what kind of killer assassin he is, is it a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
Since the movement is free, it is better to γγγ hehehe.
She fell asleep in a few moments, poor people in the front yard.
It was nearly midnight, Wen Yuxin and Liu Jun behind him just came back from outside, saw a lot of lanterns in the yard, and when they walked to the hall, they saw Concubine Lian and several ladies sitting together in horror, and the girls around them were all like frightened birds.
As soon as he saw Wen Yuxin, he immediately coaxed him up and surrounded him in the middle, as if he had seen a savior.
"What's wrong? Don't go to sleep at this hour? Wen Yuxin asked puzzled.
"Master, there are ghosts." Concubine Lian stuck to Wen Yuxin's side and whispered.
"What nonsense, where the hell did it come from? and all of them went back to their own houses. Wen Yuxin shook off Concubine Lian's hand unhappily and scolded. Frightened, the other ladies hurriedly walked outside, and Concubine Lian walked out with red eyes and grievances.
"What's going on?" When there were only three people left in the hall, Wen Yuxin opened his mouth and asked Steward Ji.
"Back to the prince, Dong Wu, who was serving the flowers and plants in the mansion tonight, suddenly screamed for some reason, shouting that there were ghosts in his mouth, so he startled the lotus master and several ladies, and the rest, the old slave didn't know." Steward Ji replied on the side.
"Dong Wu? Let's go, let's see. After Wen Yuxin finished speaking, he raised his legs with a gloomy face and walked out.
Dong Wu, nearly thirty years old, is in the Yuwang Mansion where Wen Yuxin was crowned queen by the emperor, and he is silent on weekdays, taking care of the flowers and plants in the mansion every day, and when he sees the young women in the mansion, he avoids it from afar, but he is also honest. The house where he stayed was actually built in a remote corner of the garden.
"Dong Wu, the prince has come to see you." Ji Hai said as he carried a lantern at the door of the hut. But after a few screams, there was no movement inside.
Wen Yuxin shook his head at Liu Jun, Liu Jun put his hand on the saber on his waist, ready to deal at any time, Wen Yuxin took the lantern from Ji Hai's hand, and pushed the door into the house with Liu Jun.
The scene in the house shocked the two of them, the places illuminated by the lantern in the house were stained with blood, a long-dead puppy on the ground had already stiffened, and on the bed in the corner of the wall, a black shadow shrank in the innermost, Wen Yuxin took the lantern forward, only to see a person with a face full of blood, holding a mirror and scissors in his hand, and a pair of frightened eyes staring straight ahead, trembling all over.
"Dong Wu?" Ji Hai, who followed behind, walked into the bed and shouted.
"Ghost, ghost, don't come here." Dong Wu didn't seem to hear Ji Hai calling him, and still looked at the front with dull eyes.
"Go, call Ironheart." Wen Yuxin said to Liu Jun beside him.
Liu Jun nodded and turned to leave.
Wen Yuxin and Ji Hai also walked outside the door, the bloody atmosphere inside was really unbearable, and the person inside was even more hairy.
Ghost, Wen Yuxin doesn't believe it, he suspects that someone is pretending to be a ghost in the mansion, and now only by recovering Dong Wu can he uncover the truth of the facts, and he doesn't know where he was injured.
After about half a pillar of incense, Tie Xin followed Liu Jun to Wen Yuxin's face, and on the way, Liu Jun had already roughly explained the situation, so Tie Xin didn't quarrel with Wen Yuxin this time, and went directly into Dong Wu's house, Dong Wu didn't let him take the pulse at all, but Tie Xin clicked Dong Wu's acupoint, and then put him flat on the bed to check.
"What about him? Where is the injury? Wen Yuxin asked Tie Xin, who had just walked out of the house.
"Hurt? Oh, I've checked them all, slight abrasions on my hands and knees, severe fright, nothing else.
"Abrasions? Wouldn't it, the blood in there? Liu Jun questioned puzzled.
"That's all dog blood, he killed the dog himself, and then smeared the dog blood all over his body, the dog hair on the scissors in his hand can prove, it seems that he is warding off evil spirits, it is said that the blood of the black dog, as well as mirrors and scissors, are all evil things, you have to find someone to watch this guy, otherwise you won't be able to see peach blossoms in this yard next year, hehe, don't understand? He would cut down the peach tree to build a house, and that one would ward off evil spirits. Iron-hearted hippie said with a smile.
"Can I ask him now?" Wen Yuxin asked.
"Well, it won't work for a while, even if the body is injured even if I enter the Yama Palace, I am sure to pull him back, the brain is injured, I don't have that ability, the needle has been pierced, mainly by conditioning, I don't understand, third master, what else in your house is more frightening than you, can scare a man in the prime of life into insanity?" Tie Xin put his face in front of Wen Yuxin and asked exaggeratedly.
"However, there is another reason that comes from himself, to put it bluntly, it means that when he is frightened, he must be very weak in his heart, otherwise it would not be so serious." Tie Xin thought about it and added.
"What do you mean?" Wen Yuxin asked Tie Xin.
"As far as I know, there has never been any ghost talk in Yuwangfu, you see that this Dong Wu lives alone in this remote corner, it's not a matter of the past few days, right?" Tie Xin didn't smile anymore, but said very seriously.
"It's been a few years." Yoshihae interjected.
"That's right, that means he's very bold, he's been fine for a few years, why is there something tonight? Third master, it seems that there are masters in your house. After Tie Xin finished speaking, he patted Wen Yuxin's shoulder and turned to leave.
Wen Yuxin instructed Steward Ji to find someone to take care of and protect Dong Wu, hoping that he would recover his consciousness as soon as possible, then the truth would be revealed, he wanted to know who had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually dared to pretend to be a ghost in his Yuwang Mansion and make waves.
On the way back, Wen Yuxin suddenly stopped and asked Liu Jun; "There was such an incident tonight, you said she lived in the back, what would she be afraid of?"
"Women are afraid of ghosts, maybe the princess doesn't know about it yet." Liu Jun replied.
"I really want to see how scared she looks, go, go and see, I don't feel sleepy anyway." After Wen Yuxin finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the backyard.
There was a lot of excitement to see, how could Liu Jun give up, and followed up.
The backyard was even quieter, and the two first glanced at the big tree outside the wall, and then looked at Jiang Xinyi's bedroom, but there was no candlelight or sound.
Liu Jun looked at the prince, that means, everyone is asleep, let's go back.
Wen Yuxin slowly walked to the door and pushed the door casually, God, she didn't tie the door. He hesitated for a moment, motioned to Liu Jun to give him the lantern, and then cautiously lifted his breath and walked in, entered the inner room, and came to the bedside, and saw his princess sleeping soundly, so careless that she didn't even bolt the door, and slept so deadly that he didn't even notice him coming in, he stood by the bed, listened to her even breathing, and made sure that she was indeed sleeping, not pretending.
Who are you? Wen Yuxin suddenly wanted to know in her heart, who was the woman who was sleeping at this time? Or is it that the queen discussed with the prime minister to hide it from the prince, and even the prince didn't know?
Wen Yuxin was a little envious of the people in the bed, who could sleep so soundly. He was still a little afraid, he couldn't tell what he was afraid of, anyway, he just wanted to escape from here quickly, when he raised his feet to leave, his eyes aimed at Jiang Xinyi's jade hand exposed outside the quilt, and there seemed to be something in the palm of his hand, so he reached out curiously and gently pulled away her fingers, Wen Yuxin felt like she was going to faint, and there were two plums in her palm.
Wen Yuxin even suspected that the person on the bed was playing tricks on him, and before his mind was about to become a paste, he hurriedly left, so he carefully and lightly walked out of the room and closed the door gently.
Liu Jun couldn't find an answer on Wen Yuxin's face, and he didn't dare to ask, Wen Yuxin beckoned to the big tree outside the wall, and a person immediately jumped down from the tree, it was Xiao Li, the "big bird" that Jiang Xinyi had thought of.
The three of them moved outside the courtyard and walked some more roads, and Wen Yuxin stopped and ordered Xiao Li; "It's okay during the day, but at night her eyes are bright, she is so careless that she doesn't even tie the door."
"My subordinates understand that they must stick to their posts." Xiao Li said.
"Do you know what happened in the front yard today?" Wen Yuxin asked
"What's the matter? Don't your subordinates know? Xiao Li asked curiously.
"Dong Wu in the mansion, tonight suddenly frightened crazy, his mouth kept saying that there was a ghost, hum, when he woke up, if he found out who was pretending to be a ghost in his master's mansion, I would let him live rather than die." Wen Yuxin finished speaking viciously, and suddenly found that Xiao Li's expression was wrong.
"What's the matter, don't tell me you're afraid of ghosts too." Wen Yuxin asked Xiao Li puzzled.
"Oh, master, you don't have to wait until Dong Wu is sober, and you don't have to check, because the person who frightened him is the master inside." Xiao Li smiled miserably and pointed to the courtyard.
"What? Tell me what happened. Wen Yuxin felt tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe.
"When it got dark, there was a man outside the courtyard, and he wandered outside the door for a while, and it happened that the princess came out with a footbath and poured water, and as if she had found him, the princess hid aside, and when the man entered the courtyard, the princess splashed him with foot-washing water, and then the man screamed, "Hell, ran to the front yard, and then the princess slept, and my swallow darts were useless." Xiao Li tried to be as detailed as possible.
"That's it?" Wen Yuxin and Liu Jun asked in unison.
"That's right, that's it, although it's dark and I can't see who that person is, but I'm sure it's definitely that guy who was frightened tonight, but I don't know why he was so afraid of the princess and scared so badly." Xiao Li said.
"Why don't you go along and see who that person is?" Liu Jun complained about Xiao Li on the side.
"I was ordered to take care of the princess here, and the lord said that this is my task, what if something happens to the princess as soon as I walk away? Besides, I didn't expect it to be so serious. Xiao Li was tendoned, which made Liu Jun very helpless.
That is to say, the culprit tonight was her, who scared a big man stupidly, frightened all the women in the front yard, and caused him to not sleep with Liu Jun, and also found Tie Xin overnight, and guessed it, but she slept soundly there!
"There you go." Wen Yuxin waved weakly at Xiao Li.
"Yes, the subordinates retired." Xiao Li hurriedly turned around and continued to climb the tree.
"Master, what should I do?" Liu Jun looked at the prince with his shoulders drooping and asked.
"What can I do with her? Didn't you listen to Xiao Li, didn't she deliberately run out to be scary, it was Dong Wu who sent it to the door by herself, I'm tired, let's wait until tomorrow to talk about big things. Wen Yuxin's feet were very heavy, and she felt that she couldn't take a stepγγγ
