Chapter 520 The Person Who Was Poisoned

Can a little girl of seven or eight years old poison someone?

The answer is yes.

Because the evidence pointed to her, and the reason was very simple. The clan leader wanted to marry her to another wealthy family in the same city as the great-grandson's wife, and the little girl happened to have fought with this great-grandson. She was so angry that she didn't eat for three days, and then she found rat poison in the servant's room and put it in the wine bowl... The clan leader was poisoned to death.

The tribesmen were naturally unhappy and demanded that the clan come to judge her.

On the eve of the clan meeting, the little girl hanged herself on the beam of the main house.

"How tall is she? Can I climb up such a high beam?" Sima Yue had already returned to his main room at this time, looking at the carved beam that was as high as two people and calculating.

"Your Highness is really smart," Servant A replied. "At that time, everyone was panicking and thought that the child committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and the matter was over. However, later on, everyone figured out that there were too many strange things about this matter."

"Yes, there must be something wrong." Sima Yue frowned and looked at the beams again. They were covered with loose soil due to years of disrepair.

"Later I found out that it was an uncle in the clan... Well, this matter is quite complicated to explain." This time, the clan leader found it a little difficult to speak.

It turned out that the little girl's father was the only grandson of the first wife, but he was a fool and married a very beautiful young wife. The uncle coveted the first wife's wealth and was happy to see the young wife. He thought that if he poisoned the fool, he would not only get the first wife's property, but he might even be able to sneak into the beautiful young wife's room in the middle of the night to do something.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He took advantage of the little girl's stubborn temper and secretly guided her to do this series of things. However, at the last moment, he did not expect that his silly grandson did not die, but accidentally poisoned the clan leader. In order to avoid being exposed, he killed the little girl at night, creating the illusion of suicide.

During the years of serving, there would always be subtle crying sounds around the main house at midnight, as if they were complaining about their grievances, which made the Xiang family members not dare to live here. Until Sima Yue came and said he wanted to requisition this place as his temporary residence. Because of his status as a prince, he naturally had to live in the main house, and the Xiang family members did not dare to say anything.

Of course, after so many years, the people involved have long since died, and those who knew about this matter have only spread rumors and their accounts are not complete.

"So that's how it is. There was no sound in the second half of the night, and I slept very well." Although Sima Yue felt a little disgusted, he still didn't believe it.

"That's because the prince has a strong yang energy." Servant B couldn't help but mutter, "The prince is wise and powerful, of course he is different from us. The man who was poisoned to death didn't dare to come out and cause trouble for the prince."

This sentence was very timely, and Sima Yue was in a very good mood. But when he heard the word "poisoned to death", he still felt a little uncomfortable.

By midnight, he was getting really annoyed.

Because the crying started again, intermittently. I slept too much last night, and I couldn't fall asleep tonight. I just listened to the crying surrounding the whole room, which made me upset. He got up and asked his personal guards to search the room from front to back, but they didn't see anybody.

The head of the Xiang family who came upon hearing the news said with a dark face: "It is the ghost of this child who has come back to make trouble every day. Why don't you move to the side yard? After all, this big house was previously prepared for the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yue was so angry that he threw the tea bowl, "Am I not worthy of living here?" "That's not what I meant. I just mean... Your Majesty should move to the other courtyard. The royal family and princes and ministers before also lived in other courtyards." The head of the Xiang family said it directly again, and Sima Yue was so angry that he threw another teapot.

At night, the crying did not stop. Because of the heavy rain, the strong wind blew open the windows and doors. In the dim light, a black shadow was wandering in the yard.

At first glance, Sima Yue couldn't help but be shocked. The outline of the black shadow was very similar to that of the dead idiot emperor Sima Zhong. Even the "three shakes with one step" walking posture was very similar.

Because of the heavy rain, Sima Yue's subordinates all went back to their houses to take shelter, and all the lanterns and torches were extinguished. In this situation, even if someone saw this scene, they did not dare to come out to see what was going on. After the black shadow walked around in the rain twice, it suddenly laughed unpleasantly, and there was an extremely vague voice that was fragmented in the rain: "Why do you want to poison me? Why? Why?"

This scared Sima Yue. He hadn't slept well for two days. He thought that if there was a ghost again, he would definitely catch the person who caused the haunting. But who knew he would hear such words? He stood at the door in a daze.

At this time, another gust of wind blew, and everyone was blinded.

After a huge flash of lightning flashed across the sky, everyone smelled a fragrance again.

Sima Yue was even more shocked. He only knew that this was the favorite scent of the foolish emperor Sima Zhong back then - ambergris mixed with osmanthus fragrance, and this scent was only used by him. Now, it was actually drifting outside the big house of the Xiang family, and it was after a flash of lightning and a loud thunder. He stood there in a daze.

Then, a fireball suddenly fell from the main entrance less than a meter away from him, burning strangely in the heavy rain, and it was not extinguished. It was just like the strange fire that burned when Sima Zhong was buried in the Sun Mausoleum, which was terrifying.

Concubine Pei and Crown Prince Sima Pi, who received the news, all rushed over. In the heavy rain, they saw Sima Yue with a pale face pointing at the figure in the firelight, but he could not utter a single sound.

At this moment, even Concubine Pei and Sima Pi were frightened out of their wits.

In the firelight, it seemed like Sima Zhong was standing there.

Thunder rang out one after another, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

However, after the seventh thunder, the fire suddenly disappeared.

Everyone's eyes went dark, as if they had lost their direction, and they were all trying hard to find something.

The guards who reacted quickly brought out the candlesticks from the room, barely illuminating a small area in front of them.

This time, they were shocked again. In the place where the fire had burned out, there was a burnt dragon robe in the puddles.

Sima Yue, supported by everyone, gritted his teeth and walked into the heavy rain, leaning over to examine the dragon robe. The style, workmanship, and materials were clearly the same dragon robe that Sima Zhong had worn. He even saw a black dragon pattern that belonged exclusively to Sima Zhong among the embroidered dragon patterns.

His eyes went dark and a large amount of blood spurted out.
