It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 521: Ghosts and Supernatural Powers Xiang Family Ghost

Seeing Sima Yue like this, everyone didn't dare to stay here for too long. They carried the already exhausted Sima Yue back to the main bedroom, made him lie flat on the bed, and shouted loudly for people to find a doctor, Taoist priests, and monks. After all, the situation was too weird and they didn't know what to do.

Everyone is busy, everyone is looking for things to do, and everyone is extremely nervous.

It was still raining heavily outside. It was indeed a bit strange to have such a heavy rain in late spring.

"Spring thunder strikes ghosts, and nine out of ten fences are empty." This is not a good sign.

After Sima Yue spat out a mouthful of blood, he was in a trance. He lay flat on the bed, feeling dizzy, but couldn't tell where he felt uncomfortable. He wanted to ask the servants to pour him a glass of water to suppress the bloody smell, but these people were just walking around the room like headless flies, and they didn't do anything meaningful.

Helplessly, he waved his hand, signaling them to go out and make a fuss, leaving him alone to calm down a bit.

Concubine Pei did not follow in, but just stood in the yard and stared at the burnt dragon robe in a daze. She asked Sima Pi to call some more people to strengthen the guard in the yard, and told the servants not to tell anyone about this matter. After all, it was a fireball that appeared out of nowhere and burned the dragon robe. If it was spread out, who knows what kind of story it would be interpreted into.

She had a dark face, and her hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly holding the silk handkerchief. She watched the lightning and thunder in the sky from time to time, and kept thinking about what to do now. She was hesitating. It was her temper that always made her lose her direction and decisiveness at critical moments. Therefore, she missed opportunities again and again. In addition to being preempted by the shadow maid, even this time when she wanted to escape from Chang'an before Sima Yue came back, she lost the best chance because of her hesitation.

This scene now looks very familiar, it must be someone's work.

She told herself early on that she must kill Sima Yue.

But what should I do?
What should I do?
If I really lose Sima Yue as my supporter, will I be able to walk steadily on the road ahead?
Concubine Pei began to waver again, and even hated Yang Xianrong for taking action at this time. It would have been better to wait until they returned to their fiefdom in the East China Sea before taking action.

It was not until she heard screams again from Sima Yue's room that she reacted and, with the help of her maid, hurriedly ran to the main room.

There were many servants and guards standing in the main room. They looked at each other in silence, but no one dared to enter Sima Yue's bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this scene, Concubine Pei was also a little panicked, but she still took out the style of the head princess and shouted sternly: "What's wrong with the prince?"

Just at this moment, a sound similar to the wailing of a baby or a girl was heard from the dormitory. It was extremely shrill and the volume reached its peak in an instant, scaring everyone present so much that their hearts were beating wildly.

Concubine Pei's face changed completely and she almost fell down.

Then, another wailing sound was heard.

But at this time, there was no sound of Sima Yue.

Then, there was the sound of something hitting wooden boards, one after another, clang, clang, clang, interweaving with the lightning and thunder outside, scaring everyone to the ground.

Sima Pi, Taoist priests, monks, doctors and others had just arrived and were also frightened by the scene. However, there were many of them and most of them had done exorcism before, so the Taoist priests and monks had already made preparations to rush in and see what was going on.

The door was not closed tightly, so the two Taoists took the lead and pushed it open. The banging and wailing sounds from inside still did not stop.

The two men plucked up their courage and walked inside holding the candlesticks.

Soon, they saw Sima Yue lying on the ground motionless, and shouted: "Prince! Someone come!"

"The prince has fallen down! Someone come quickly!" Everyone rushed to the door, and the two monks walked in quickly and bent down to check Sima Yue's condition.

Seeing that it was okay, the four people who went in first stepped back together and screamed in surprise.

Because Sima Yue's clothes were covered in blood, his face was ashen and ferocious, and he was no longer alive.

However, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extremely strange before he died.

In the dim candlelight, the face and twisted body looked even more terrifying and panic-stricken.

At the same time, there were wailing and banging sounds coming from under his bed, like a woman wailing.

Sima Yue's personal guards bravely approached the bed with a long sword in hand. The two men first opened the quilts on the bed one by one, and then opened all the pillows and mats, but there was nothing. However, the sound was still there.

After all, there is courage in numbers.

The two men looked at each other, and simultaneously used their sharp swords to pry open the bare bed board.

The moment the bed board was lifted, a black shadow quickly leaped up. Before anyone could see it clearly, the black shadow had already passed through the gaps between the people at an extremely fast speed and disappeared into the dark rainy night.

Is it a cat?

Someone whispered.

The two guards checked under the bed and found nothing there.

The strange wailing sound disappeared, but was replaced by the wailing of everyone because Sima Yue was dead.

Concubine Pei was supported by her maids, and she knelt in front of Sima Yue's body. Seeing his horrible death, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

The mistress fainted, and everyone became even more panicked.

At this time, only Sima Pi could make the decision, but he was already too panicked and could only shout: "Father! Father! What happened! Is it an evil ghost claiming my life?!"

It would have been better if he kept such words deep in his heart, but he just said them out loud without thinking, which further confirmed that Sima Yue's cause of death was abnormal.

Taoist priests and monks saw this and could not leave immediately, so they gathered around Sima Yue's body and recited scriptures for the deceased. Although Sima Yue's housekeeper and stewards were crying, they knew that they could not kneel and cry at this time. Instead, they carried the mistress out first, dealt with Sima Yue's body first, and prepared for the funeral.

The Xiang family's patriarch and the men in the clan also got the news and rushed over in the heavy rain. They couldn't help but gasp when they saw Sima Yue's death. The patriarch put his hand on his chest and murmured, "Did the prince poison anyone before? The ghosts of the Xiang family hate poisoners the most. They will kill anyone they see."

"What the hell is this! Where is the ghost?" Sima Pi's eyes were red, and he grabbed the collar of the head of the Xiang family and yelled, "Ghosts and strange powers, is this what you did?"

“I’ve already told you, it’s the ghost from the Xiang family! I told the prince not to live here.” The head of the Xiang family grimaced, feeling very uncomfortable as his clothes were pulled. “Hey, hey, hey, don’t touch me. The ghost from the Xiang family will still protect good people like me…”

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly fell from the beam. Before anyone could see clearly, five bloody marks appeared on Sima Pi's face, and his skin and flesh were deeply scratched.
