"So you think it's the soul of the prince and Hui Niang?"

"Isn't it?" Zhou Jin looked directly at Su Shi, "If not, then how can you explain the vision that happened in the Shangyi Bureau?" ”

"The vision was only seen by the nine Praetorian Guards." Su Shi smiled, "Maybe they collectively hallucinated, or maybe they conspired to weave this lie." ”

Zhou Jin categorically vetoed: "The nine guards are from different noble families, it is impossible for them to conspire to make up such a ridiculous lie, it is a great crime to punish the nine clans." ”

After the incident, the secret guards also investigated their diet and found no drugs that could cause hallucinations. And from the time they discovered the vision to the time they were investigated by the secret guards, everyone behaved normally, completely devoid of the reactions they had after taking the drug. ”

Su Shi also knew that his idea could not be established, but he didn't take this matter to heart at all, whether it was someone pretending to be the prince and Hui Niang, or the appearance of their ghosts, he didn't care at all.

He was concerned about something else.

"Your Majesty is sick?"

Zhou Jin nodded lightly with worry in his eyes.

"Are you seriously ill?"

Zhou Jin shook his head slowly: "I don't know." ”

"How could you not know?" Su Shi looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you go to visit Your Majesty?" ”

"As soon as I heard that my father was sick, I went to the Hanxiang Palace, but the queen mother said that my father needed to recuperate and it was not suitable to see people, so none of us saw my father."

Su Shi couldn't help frowning: "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”

Zhou Jin said silently: "The imperial doctor only said that my father was injured and would be able to recuperate for a few days. ”

"Mentally damaged?" Su Shi looked at Zhou Jin with a strange expression, "Just because of the ghosts of the prince and Hui Niang?" ”

Zhou Jin's expression changed at this time, but he didn't answer him, just bowed his head and said nothing.

The change in her expression naturally did not escape Su Shi's eyes, and he let out a soft breath: "Is there something else going on?" ”

Zhou Jin didn't seem to know how to answer him, and was still silent, but his eyes gradually became extremely complicated.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Su Shi had no choice but to ask again: "Why is the palace under martial law today?" Why are you out of the palace now? ”

After a long silence, Su Shi sighed: "If you don't say anything, I can't do anything." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jin's body shook slightly, and then he slowly looked up at him.

"The reason why the palace is under martial law, in addition to the appearance of the ghost of the prince's brother and Huiniang, is also because another terrible thing has happened, this matter is even more weird, more bizarre, and more terrifying, I guess my father's heart is damaged and I am afraid that it is related to this incident." Speaking of this, Zhou Jin seemed a little hesitant, and his eyes involuntarily avoided Su Shi, "I...... I don't know whether to tell you or not. ”

Su Shi looked at her quietly: "Do you think I can stay out of it now?" ”

Zhou Jin slowly walked to the fence of the garden and looked into the distance with a sad gaze.

Although the moon is like a silver platter, it is pitch black in the distance.

"I really shouldn't have involved you." Zhou Jin's gaze gradually dimmed, as if there were countless shadows.

"You...... It's better to leave the capital as soon as possible. ”

"I also thought about leaving the capital, but His Majesty didn't agree." Su Shi's expression did not change, and he still looked at Zhou Jin calmly, "I believe that Your Majesty will not agree now." ”

Zhou Jin Huo Ran turned around and stared at Su Shi tightly, his eyes full of pain and worry.

"Do you already know?"

Su Shi thought for a while and said slowly: "I have met the crown princess, and I have learned some news from her. ”

"What's the news?"

"Zhong Lichuan turned out to be His Majesty's man, and on the night the prince was murdered, he behaved very strangely."

Zhou Jin's face became as pale as moonlight, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Su Shi's expression did not change, and he said lightly: "I have seen the crown princess, and I must not be able to escape His Majesty's eyes, and His Majesty will not let me leave the capital." ”

"So I wonder what else happened in the palace last night?"

Zhou Jin was in turmoil at this time, and slowly closed her eyes, but then she seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and opened her eyes to look at Su Shi.

"Do you remember Lu Chi?"

Su Shi immediately remembered this person, because after the purple smoke rose, he committed suicide that night. What is even more suspicious is that this person went crazy the night before the prince was killed, and he also spoke out of great rebellion.

So when Zhou Jin mentioned this name, Su Shi immediately became alert: "It's the eunuch who committed suicide." ”

Zhou Jin nodded lightly and said slowly, "Last night was his first seven. ”

The first seven are also known as the night of the soul, and it is said that on this day, it is also the time of the day when the yin energy is at its highest, and the soul of the deceased will return to the yang world again.

Su Shi was slightly stunned, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile: "Could it be that not only the ghosts of the prince and Hui Niang have reappeared in the Shangyi Bureau, but even Lu Chi has returned to his soul again?" ”

Zhou Jin looked at the smile on the corner of Su Shi's mouth, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you think it's scary?" ”

"I might be scared if I did see a ghost, but I haven't seen any ghost until now."

Zhou Jin shook his head slightly: "This time is completely different from the haunting of the Red Plum Pavilion, that time it was Pei Xun's people who pretended to be ghosts in secret, so they were tricky, but last night there were really many people who saw the ghosts with their own eyes." ”

In the end, Zhou Jin's voice was trembling slightly, and it seemed that he couldn't calm down until now.

"You mean there are also quite a few people who have seen Lu Chi's ghost?"

Zhou Jin nodded affirmatively.

"Who has seen it?"

"It's another group of forbidden troops patrolling the night, also nine people, and the leader is called Gao Ning."

"The Forbidden Army on Night Patrol again?" Su Shi's brows furrowed again, "Where did they see Lu Chi?" ”

"Taiqing Lake."

"Taiqing Lake?" Su Shi was surprised, "Is that where Lu Chi made a mistake ten years ago?" ”

"You know that, too?"

"I asked the crown princess." Su Shi nodded slightly, "It was the crown princess who told me." The night before the prince was killed, on his way back to the East Palace, he passed through Taiqing Lake and met Gonggong Lu, who had lost his mind. ”

Zhou Jin's face became ugly again, and he asked silently, "What else did the crown princess say to you?" ”

Su Shi shook his head: "She didn't see this matter in person, and the prince didn't tell her the details, so she didn't know much." ”

Then he sighed: "Actually, I want to know what kind of rebellious words Lu Chi called after he made a mistake and went crazy, but the prince didn't tell the princess, and the princess didn't take it to heart at that time." ”

Zhou Jin's eyes gradually became a little strange: "Why are you so interested in Lu Chi's words?" ”

Because Lu Chi's appearance is so coincidental, it is difficult not to suspect that his appearance was deliberately planted by someone. And this person can't think of anyone else except Bae Hyun. ”

"Since Lu Chi was arranged in the palace by Pei Xun, then the words he said must have also been taught by Pei Xun. I also want to know what Pei Hyun wants to say through Lu Chi's mouth. ”

Zhou Jin's expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and it took a long time for her to sigh: "Just last night, the old thing ten years ago was repeated by Taiqing Lake. ”
