Chapter 1

The autumn wind is bleak, and the sound of suona.

A bright red sedan chair swayed through the path full of fallen leaves, and bumped into the coffin covered with white silk at the corner.

Xi Po, who was walking beside the sedan chair, was taken aback, and she cried out in surprise and stroked her heart.

"Yo! I said that there is a suona sound even from a distance. The red suona meets the white suona. Tsk tsk, it's unlucky!"

She collected herself, covered her lips with a red silk handkerchief, giggled twice, and her expression changed from panic to ecstasy.

She took a piece of silver from Aunt Mei, and said that it would make the wedding "lively". Now that this happened, shouldn't she use it quickly?
The leader of the funeral procession over there was the eldest son of the deceased, dressed in a filial robe, but without any expression of grief on his face, he walked over cursing.

"Hey, you blind mother-in-law, don't you see that we are doing something for nothing? Hurry up and get out of the way!"

Xi Po's neck twitched: "Hmph, it's just a dead person. The one sitting on our sedan chair is the daughter of our Duke's Mansion, Princess Xiao of the Northern Jiang Dynasty. If you want to let it go, you will do it!"

The man sneered: "Who doesn't know that Xiao Wang is a cripple who is dying, don't let the bride die before she comes home!"

The atmosphere was tense. Seeing that the two groups of people were about to start working with their sleeves rolled up, the curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly lifted.

A hand as white as jade was exposed, accompanied by a weak but firm voice.

"People have their own way, and ghosts have their own way. You took your father to walk on the way of humanity, and you have already caused him to be full of resentment. You still don't know how to repent. Do you have to make a disaster to know how to repent?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "What kind of humane ways are ghostly ways? This old man is going to go this way today! Keep going!"

As soon as he pushed Xi Po away, he made a gesture to move forward, but he sprained the sole of his foot and fell down on the flat road.

"Ouch!"

The man struggled to get up, only to feel a warm current running down his chin.

When I touched it subconsciously, it turned out to be two broken front teeth.

"Damn it!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and was about to call the servants behind him to continue blowing, when the butler at the side ran over in a panic.

"Master, it's not good, our suona just suddenly...suddenly stopped playing!"

The butler glanced at the sedan chair with lingering fear, and said in a low voice, "Master, I heard that Prince Xiao is very evil, and Princess Xiao is probably a bad luck person, let's avoid it!"

The man panicked for a while, and he didn't dare to say any more, so he could only turn around in embarrassment: "Useless things, change the way for me!"

Several servants who carried the coffin complained in their hearts, but as soon as they changed the route, they felt that the coffin, which was as heavy as Mount Tai, suddenly became much lighter.

Thinking of what the person in the sedan chair said just now, he couldn't help but shiver.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Mu Yuning watched the gradually dissipating resentment over the departing team, and gently lowered the sedan chair curtain.

"Let's go."

She lightly rubbed the agate beads left by her mother on her hands, her thoughts racing.

Ten years ago, her mother rescued His Majesty and the young King Xiao from a group of mad lions and tigers, and asked His Majesty for a marriage contract with King Xiao for her.

But not long after, her mother was buried in a bizarre fire. She was also thrown into the countryside by Mu Jianli, the father of the concubine who killed his wife, and was brought up by her grandmother.

Now that King Xiao's fate is unlucky, Mu Jianli wanted to please the royal family again, so he brought her back to fulfill the marriage contract.

A coldness flashed in Mu Yuning's eyes.

She has no relationship with that family. If her grandmother, who hadn't been away for many days, said before she left that she had come to the capital to handle business, she would never have let that trash Mu Jianli find her.

While thinking, the sedan chair slowly stopped.

Xi Po opened the car curtain, impatience flashed in her eyes.

"The palace is here, the bride should get off the sedan chair."

After a set of complicated procedures was completed, Mu Yuning was sent to the bridal chamber.

She raised the heavy hijab on her head and looked at the layout of the new house.

Although there are red makeup everywhere, there is only one paper lantern lit in the house, and the red light envelopes the whole room, which looks weird and gloomy.

These paper-cut figurines are pasted on the wall, with distorted smiles on their faces and hollow eyes.

Mu Weining curled his lips. If this new house is used for ranking, it can be directly used as a mourning hall. I don't know what King Xiao did, and someone made such a thing about the underworld.

A faint fragrance came, with a sticky and ambiguous smell.

Mu Yuning frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the incense burner not far away.

It is the fragrance of joy.

Her eyes sank, and she lightly pinched them out.

Hearing that King Xiao had lost all energy and blood, and was only hanging on his breath, this incense probably wasn't for him.

Mu Yuning narrowed his eyes, and stared at the door.

"What are you doing sneakily, I'm just a weak woman, can I still eat you?"

The door opened with a creak, and several young men with grinning faces poked their heads out.

"Since the princess already knows, then lie down obediently and serve us well, so as not to suffer from that flesh and blood."

The leading servant looked obscenely at Mu Yuning's slender body, "I can only blame you for offending someone!"

Mu Yuning lowered his eyelashes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

She has only just returned to the capital, and it seems that she has blocked the way of many people.

Just as he was about to speak, a pain suddenly rose from his heart, Mu Yuning covered his chest, and blood slid down his lips.

The boys were taken aback, and seeing her bloodless face, they all muttered.

"Isn't this woman also a sick ghost who is going to die?"

The leader gritted his teeth: "Don't worry about that, it's important to complete what the lady told you!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture to step forward.

Mu Yuning sat on the bed naturally, there was no fear in her honey-colored eyes.

"It seems that you have been instructed by others, but I am afraid that this work can only be done by one person. You should think about it, who will do the first job?"

Her voice was soft and soft, but like a golden thread, it entangled several people together.

The boys felt dizzy for a while, and when they came back to their senses, there was only one thought left in the eyes of their companions.

Don't let this group of people take the credit for yourself!

"Grandma, take credit from me, go to hell!"

I don't know who made the move first, the beautiful wedding room suddenly turned into a martial arts practice.

Mu Yuning watched the group of empty-eyed men huddle together with crooked eyes, and unconsciously twirled the beads on his hands with his fingers.

It's a pity that if her spirit leopard hadn't lost half of its original spirit inexplicably, they could have played more excitingly.

When she was seven years old, she went to the mountain to collect medicine and rescued a poisoned golden-spotted leopard, but she didn't want to accidentally fall into the cliff when she was looking for the antidote.

The naturally raised spirit leopard saved her with its own spirit, and since then it has been a twin with her, and it also gave her some strange abilities.

But a few days ago, she sent Lingbao to look for her grandmother, but only half of her soul came back. Maybe something happened in this capital.

Since that day, her body has also become weaker and weaker.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuning's eyes dimmed a bit.

She will find out everything and make those people pay the price.

Feeling hungry for a while, Mu Yuning smiled and watched the little servants fighting, while quickly saving a bright red apple from the fruit plate that was about to be turned over.

Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, a big pale hand with distinct bones suddenly stretched out from behind her, grabbing her wrist.

Mu Yuning was startled and turned around abruptly.

Facing him, a pair of eyes as deep as ink.
