The next day, because of this incident, several timid maidservants were frightened at that time, and they no longer dared to go to the hut alone at night.

Especially when she heard the word "Zilu", she trembled with fright, everyone knew who she died for, and there must be grievances in her heart, so her soul wandered in the backyard of the palace and refused to leave for a long time.

This matter soon spread ten, ten to hundred, and everyone knew about it.

Even Xi Xueyao, who had been ostracized, heard this, and immediately frowned in disbelief, "Even if Zilu wants to ask for her life, she has to find Feng Lingye, what is she looking for you to do as a little maid?" ”

"How do I know?" The maidservant also felt strange, "Could it be that the princess is too imposing, so she doesn't dare to approach, so she scares us little maids?" ”

"If you dare to spread rumors again, it will make it difficult for everyone to sleep and eat, be careful that the prince will punish you!" Xi Xueyao threatened in a deep voice.

Ping Suli, she doesn't believe these things the most, what is there to be afraid of when she dies, is she still afraid of a dead person if she is a living person?

The maid saw that she didn't believe herself, so she said angrily, "If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, Zilu died for you, if she goes to you in the middle of the night, don't cry with us here!" ”

"You!" Xi Xueyao looked at the presumptuous faces of these people, and was suddenly so angry that she was going to die, anyway, she was also the daughter of the first assistant of the cabinet, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, these little hooves dared to talk to her like this!

The maidservant was not afraid of her, and left with a cold snort after speaking.

Since there was no evidence, only the maidservant girl saw it, and the patrolling government soldiers found nothing in the past, so although everyone was afraid, they were still a little skeptical.

But what happened next had to make everyone believe that the palace was haunted!

On the evening of the second day after the maid met "Zilu", due to the hot weather and the inflammation in the body, Aunt Hua of Yuhua Pavilion suddenly wanted to drink lotus seed soup, so she asked her personal maid Yuzhen to go to Qinglian Lake to pick some lotus seeds and come back.

Yuzhen was also bold, and she didn't take the haunted thing to heart, so she went to Qinglian Lake alone.

At this time, the remnant sun is like blood, illuminating this lake a little blurry and dreamy, and the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are shrouded in this dusk light, mysterious and poignant.

The air was somewhat humid and there was not a hint of wind.

There was only one cicada screaming in my ears.

After picking a basket of lotus seeds, Yuzhen also planned to go back, so she slid the boat with wooden pulp and began to shuttle through the layers of lotus leaves that rose above her head.

Since it is the height of summer, and it is the season of lotus flowers, the dense lotus leaves are blocked, and the shore cannot be seen.

But fortunately, Qinglian Lake is not big, and there will be a trace where the boat slides over, so Yuzhen will follow this trace and rock back.

But she obviously followed this road back and forth, but after an hour of incense, she did not return to the shore on time, and she couldn't help but wonder for a while.

glanced at the sun that was about to set, and my heart began to get anxious, so the strange incident of last night couldn't help but come to mind.

But she was obviously much calmer than yesterday's maidservant, so she stood up, and pushed away the lotus leaf with her hand while slipping, but after walking like this for a while, the pulp in her hand was suddenly tripped by something.

She frowned, crouched down to take a closer look, and saw a pitch-black mass wrapped around her pulp.

She suddenly "chuckled" in her heart, swallowed nervously, and then pumped the pulp out of the water little by little.

I saw a white head soaked in the wood pulp, and white and fat insects were still surging in the eyes, with a mouth wide open, only empty skeletons left in the eyes, and the lower half of the body was half rotten, and a pair of hands grabbed the oars.

Yuzhen immediately sat on the bow of the boat in fright, her face was pale, isn't this Xi Xueyao's nurse who has been dead for a few months?

She immediately gritted her teeth and desperately tried to pull out the oars, but the tighter and tighter she got tighter, and a pair of skull eyes stared at her with endless resentment and accusation.

It's completely dark, Yuzhen can't swim, and the pulp is also entangled, she seems to be forced into a desperate situation, as soon as she grits her teeth, she will die, is she still afraid of a dead corpse?!

After thinking about it, she immediately had the courage to scoop up the "nurse", then closed her eyes, and pulled off the hair that was entangled in the wood pulp, "The person who killed you is Xi Xueyao, if you want to find her, look for her!" ”

After shouting loudly, she immediately rowed up desperately, and finally got to the shore, and couldn't care about the lotus seeds, so she pulled her legs and ran to a place where there were people.

Because of last night's incident, the government soldiers strengthened their defense, and when they saw Yuzhen coming over and pointing to Qinglian Lake, they immediately led the troops over, and sure enough, a female corpse that had not completely decomposed was found on the boat!

At this moment, it exploded in the backyard of the palace.

Those who didn't believe in it also changed their faces after seeing this female corpse.

Even Xi Xueyao began to get nervous, staring at the window at night, she couldn't sleep, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the gloomy smiling faces of "Zilu" and "Nurse".

On the tiled house, there seems to be something walking around, very light, but very clear.

Her eyes widened, and she was so frightened that she quickly pulled the quilt over her head and covered her head, but she didn't sleep for long, only to hear a sudden scream in the night.

She immediately broke out in a cold sweat and sat up, only to hear a sound of neat footsteps outside, and some head-to-ear talking.

She didn't care so much, she also lit the oil lamp, followed the maids next door out of the room, and came to the courtyard curiously and frightened.

"What's wrong, who's screaming?" She asked the maid beside her weakly.

The maids glanced at her and were immediately startled, "Why is your face so white?" ”

She touched her cheek and said casually, "Maybe it's a little cold."

"The place where the screams just came was Yuhua Pavilion, I heard that in the evening, Yuzhen went to pick lotus seeds for Aunt Hua, and found a female corpse that had rotted, and then went crazy not long after returning to the yard." The maids said with a look of horror.

Xi Xueyao's throat was a little tight, and when she glanced at the dark night sky, she always felt that something was staring at her.

The maids chatted again, "I always feel that too many people have died in the house recently, so I linger in the middle of nowhere, just waiting to find a substitute." ”

"Don't talk about it, I'm getting goosebumps." The other maid stroked her arm in fear.

A maid came over and said, "I don't think this matter is over yet, I'm afraid there will be something next, I don't know who the next stand-in will be."

"Let's find a ghost exorcist to do it, otherwise how can it be better in the long run?" The timid maid said.

The maid said, "The masters have not spoken, and we have no right to decide."

Xi Xueyao listened to their words, silently remembered them in her heart, and then returned to the room with an oil lamp in a restless manner.

That night, her oil lamp burned until dawn.

Early the next morning, she went to Xi's mansion, and after finding Mrs. Xi, she told her all the haunting events in the palace.

"There can't be ghosts in the world, this may be all dazzled by the maids, and they are just spreading falsehoods." Mrs. Xi calmly analyzed.

Xi Xueyao also thought so at first, "But the body of the nurse was indeed fished out in Qinglian Lake!" ”

"Your nurse died for you, and she died unexplained, and it is not impossible that the people did not bury her properly, and it is not impossible to throw it into Qinglian Lake at will." Mrs. Xi comforted her and touched her head, "My silly daughter, there are no ghosts in the world, only people with ghosts in their hearts. ”

After Xi Xueyao said this, the fear in her heart also dissipated a little, "Everyone said that there are demons in the house, and they want to invite the mage ......to come over."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xi Xueyao was stunned and repeated the words again.

"This is it!" Mrs. Xi showed a happy smile, "Mother suddenly thought of a good idea to drive away Feng Lingye!" ”

After Xi Xueyao went through so many things, seeing her mother so happy, she thought about it carefully, and she also thought of the same idea, and immediately clapped her hands, "Why didn't Yao'er think of this?" ”

So, the two hit it off.

didn't tell Xi Niancheng, nor did he discuss it with Zhuang Nanyan, Xi Xueyao immediately went down to do it according to Mrs. Xi's suggestion.

Autumn Maple Garden.

Tao Yao told Feng Lingye all the things she had heard in the house in the past few days, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, "The maids said that when they saw Zilu, Xi Xueyao still didn't believe it, but when she saw that the female corpse fished out of Qinglian Lake turned out to be her nurse, she also panicked, and hurriedly went down to find the mage, saying that she was going to do a ghost exorcism in the palace!" ”

"Did you say when it would happen?" Feng Lingye was holding a cup of tea in her hand, her expression indifferent.

Tao Yao nodded immediately, "According to reliable sources, it is said that an auspicious day of the zodiac was chosen, and the altar was opened at noon the day after tomorrow." ”

Feng Lingye bowed slightly, with an approving look in his eyes, and then glanced at Gong Jiyue.

Gong Jiyue understood, took out a delicate purse from her sleeve, and handed it to Tao Yao.

Tao Yao took a look, her eyes lit up instantly, this is the best brocade silk in the Tianyu Silk Village, and the embroidery on it is also embroidered by the best embroiderer in Kyoto, although it is not priceless, but it is extremely rare.

She put it into her arms in surprise and bowed obediently to Feng Lingye, "Thank you for the reward!" ”

"Let's go down." Feng Lingye raised her chin.

Tao Yao immediately retreated and closed the door sensibly.

Gong Jiyue glanced at it, and after seeing that her figure had gone away, she looked at Feng Lingye, "It seems that Xi Xueyao has taken the bait, and then we can collect the net and catch fish." ”

"This time, no one can save her." Her eyes were calm and determined, with an awe-inspiring momentum that the overall situation was in control.

The revenge of the emerald red must be avenged!

After the news that Xi Xueyao was going to exorcise ghosts came out, it was strange that there were fewer strange things that happened one after another at night, but no one dared to travel alone, and they all waited for the mage to completely solve it, and the heart that had been hanging could be put down.

Although Xi Xueyao has been demoted to a maid in the house, her strength is still there, what she wants to do, the subordinates in the house do not dare to refuse, and for her exorcism this time, Zhuang Nanyan also turned a blind eye and did not express her position, so everything went smoothly.

On the day of the exorcism ceremony, Xi Xueyao invited all the women in the backyard, including Zhuang Nanyan and Feng Lingye, to the back garden.

When Feng Lingye arrived with Gong Jiyue, Tao Yao and Green Lotus, it was already overcrowded, and I saw the maids standing on the periphery, tiptoeing, stretching their necks, and looking curiously at the scene in the center.

Walking through the crowd, Feng Lingye saw a high wooden platform in the center, on which were placed some magic weapons and props to ward off evil spirits, on both sides of the wooden platform, Xi Xueyao and Zhuang Nanyan and others were standing, and even Aunt Hua and Yuzhen were also invited.

At this time, Yuzhen's face was dull, guarded by two subordinates, and her mouth kept muttering, not knowing what she was saying, her eyes were wide open, and she had an inexplicable dementia.

The mage was a thin and tall old man, with a wisp of fairy wind bones, and he was quite Taoist, and after seeing Feng Lingye, he glanced at the little boy on the side.

The little boy understood, so he walked to Feng Lingye's side and led her to a place to stand. Only then did she realize that everyone was standing in a different position.

Except for Duan Junmo, who went to the military department to deal with affairs, everyone in the palace has arrived.

The mage looked up at the sky, waited quietly for a while, and finally began to open the altar, spraying a special liquid onto the mahogany sword for a while, and then lighting a talisman and putting it into a bowl containing an unknown liquid.

The people around him felt very amazing, and watched intently at the movements in his hands.

Zhuang Nanyan stood aside cooperatively, and there was no extra expression. Only Xi Xueyao folded her hands with a reverent face, as if she was praying sincerely for the backyard.

When the props on the table were almost used, the mage walked up to Yuzhen again and began to exorcise evil spirits from her, he pinched a talisman in his fingers, and was about to stick it on Yuzhen's forehead, when suddenly, the paper talisman suddenly ignited, and even the mage was so frightened that he took a step back, his face was slightly pale.

Seeing this change, Xi Xueyao hurriedly asked, "Archmage, what's wrong?"

"The old man can't do anything, please ask the masters to be smart!" After the mage finished speaking, he immediately stepped onto the high platform and hurriedly packed up the props.

Xi Xueyao looked panicked, and immediately chased after him and asked, "Archmage, do you have anything unspeakable?"

The mage looked at her, stopped talking, and finally sighed and walked away.

Xi Xueyao hurriedly chased after him, stretched out her hands and stopped him, her face changed slightly, "What do you mean by this, Archmage?" You took the money, but the matter was not resolved, so it seems inappropriate to just leave, right? ”

Hearing this, the mage sighed heavily, and slowly turned to Feng Lingye's location, "There is a demon in the house, and the power is infinite, although the old man can compete with it, but I am afraid that it will hurt her original body!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people standing around looked at Feng Lingye one after another, and they all unconsciously took a step back and kept a certain distance from him.

"Since it's all for the good of the palace, why don't you say it directly if the mage has something to say?" Feng Lingye saw that the spearhead was already pointed at him, so he raised his eyes and looked over.

The mage looked at her, as if with a hint of jealousy, and finally looked at Xi Xueyao, who bowed her head slightly, signaling him to continue.

The mage bowed slightly, so he walked to Feng Lingye's side, but deliberately kept it five steps away, "Does the princess often feel that her emotions are uncontrollable, sometimes it is like a different person, some things are obviously not done by herself, but she has an impression of this matter?" ”

Feng Lingye's face was normal, and he opened his mouth and was about to reply, only to see Xi Xueyao immediately interject, "The archmage is really clever, and the princess is sometimes like a different person, and her temperament has changed greatly." ”

Hearing this, the mage looked pensive, "If this is the case, then everything can't go wrong, that's because the princess has demons around her, which will affect the princess's temperament, words and deeds, and cause the princess to do something that is inconsistent with her wishes, and she doesn't know it." ”

"That's what happened." Xi Xueyao's face suddenly realized.

Regarding this remark, Feng Lingye did not express his position, but only looked at the two calmly.

The mage's face was heavy, "So that's why there are always unjust souls in the house, and even some people are crazy and are hooked by this demon." ”

"Does the master have a solution?" Feng Lingye looked at him, and her quiet apricot eyes couldn't tell whether she believed it or not.

The mage sighed, "This demon path is extremely deep, and it has the power of the old man, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Money is not a problem, as long as the archmage removes the demons from the princess's body, I will return peace to my palace." Xi Xueyao hurriedly said.

"It's not about money," the mage shook his head, and then looked at Feng Lingye in embarrassment, "It's just that the princess is willing to cooperate?" ”

When Xi Xueyao heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Feng Lingye's hand, "Princess, for the sake of peace and peace in the palace, and for the sake of getting rid of the demon as soon as possible, you can cooperate, right?" ”

Feng Lingye didn't answer her, but looked at Zhuang Nanyan, "I don't know what Concubine Qin means?" ”

This trip to troubled waters, Zhuang Nanyan has learned the lesson last time, this time she definitely doesn't want to wade again, so she said politely: "Since there is a demon, it is naturally necessary to get rid of it, but since this demon is possessed by my sister, this decision is naturally decided by my sister."

It was a good kick.

Feng Lingye smiled, and then turned to the mage, "I want to hear about it." ”

The mage bowed slightly, and explained: "This demon is too deep, unconsciously attached to the princess, can unknowingly seize the souls of others, if it is not for the recent decline of his time, he will not come out to make waves, with the old man's cultivation is not enough to compete with it, so you need to transfer the demon to the Nanwu Temple on the outskirts of the city, and purify H2 with the Buddha's light there."
