The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 24 Xiangui commits suicide
  Lou Wu looked at the portraits one by one carefully this time, and from time to time he even held them up for comparison...

We only checked three people, and some of the people in the team were impatient...

A short chamberlain suddenly pushed his way out of the queue and ran straight out of the palace gate.

Trying to escape from Jin Yiwei's hands is simply overestimating one's own capabilities.

Lou Wu was about to catch up, but when he turned around he saw a figure not far away and suddenly stopped.

Lu Xu watched the young chamberlain pass by without stopping him.

The little eunuch was running with some secret joy in his heart. From time to time, "he" looked back at the palace gate that was getting farther and farther away from him, thinking that he could escape the pursuit of the Jin Yiwei.

But as soon as "he" turned his head, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and "he" was knocked to the ground before he could see it clearly.

The hat fell to the ground, and the black hair fell down...

Liuzhu raised his head in panic. Zhou Si, wearing a Feiyu suit, was standing right in front, staring at her expressionlessly.

"My lord, please spare my life! My lord, please spare your life!" Liuzhu quickly lowered his head and begged for mercy, "Sir, please let me go, my lord."

"Take it back." Lu Xu walked over as if he hadn't heard anything, without even raising his eyelids.

Changning Palace

"If you can't handle this, how can you gain a foothold in this harem and help your little brother rise to the top?"

It was already late at night, but candles were still burning in the dormitory. The noble lady fell to the ground, not even daring to raise her head.

The speaker was standing in a spot with dappled light and shadow, candlelight flickering. The man was wearing a black cloak, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Your Majesty, I thought everything would be fine if I sent her out of the palace, but how could I know that Jin Yiwei would know it so quickly? I really didn't mean it."

When Xiangui learned that Liuzhu was taken away by Jin Yiwei at the palace gate, he knew that he would be found out sooner or later.

"That's the Jin Yiwei! That's Lu Xu! How dare you be clever when they are investigating this matter? You are really afraid that he won't know!" The man in black said with hatred.

"Liuzhu... Liuzhu is loyal! He will never give me away! Your Majesty!" Xiangui quickly knelt a few steps forward: "My Majesty, even if I am found, I will not tell anyone about you. do not worry!"

"Haha... Sincerely? Not many people can survive the torture of imprisonment. Believe it or not, the Jinyi Guards will come to arrest you without waiting for tomorrow morning."

"This... empress..." Xian Guiren slumped on the ground with a pale face, not knowing what to do.

"If I were you, I would kill her, throw her into any dry well, and sit down. Why let her get out alive?" The woman in black sneered, "You are just stupid, stupid and soft-hearted. "

"My Lady, please help me, please help me!" Xiangui kowtowed hard, her hair had long been scattered. The Lord of the First Palace, who was so glorious during the day, was now lying on the ground crying and begging for mercy. .

"Xiangui, your biggest problem is that you are too kind and soft-hearted. Those in power are most taboo about such useless kindness."

"Yes, my dear, you are right, I won't dare to do it next time! Never again!"

"There will be no next time. I only believe in dead people. Drink it and I will protect your family from death."

"What." Xian Guiren sat on his knees in a daze, with tears on his face, as if he didn't understand what the woman in black said.

"Could it be that you want your whole family to be buried with you?" the woman in black threatened.

"Your Majesty! Please spare my life, Your Majesty!" Xian Guiren finally realized and begged for mercy out of instinct.

"If I spare your life, I will act like you have a kind heart, and you will definitely harm yourself."

The man's slender fingers were dyed with bright red kodan. He was holding the small bottle of medicine and handed it to the concubine Xian. He coaxed softly: "Drink it and everything will be as usual."

"My lord, there is something to report in the palace!" "Let him in." Lu Xu had just come out of the imperial edict, and it was already the second watch.

Sure enough, as Wen Jiu said, it was just a way to gain favor in the palace, and interrogation was not difficult.

It's just that this girl is tough-talking and has a bit of a master-servant relationship with Mr. Xian, so she still spent some time.

"Sir." The person who came was Zhao Liang, the chamberlain in the palace. "Mr. Xian Gui committed suicide by taking poison in Changning Palace."

"Suicide?" Lu Xu frowned slightly.

This person is really contradictory. He wants to put Li's concubine to death, but he is so merciful and soft-hearted to protect the maid in prison. He has a plan to arrange such a big drama of resurrecting the corpse, but he commits suicide before the last moment out of fear of crime?

These things really don't seem like something she could plan?

Lu Xu watched the candlelight on the table flicker, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

The strange light of the ghost-catching order stayed on all night, and Wen Jiu stayed up almost all night. He finally fell asleep when there was movement in the courtyard.

It was approaching winter, the sky was getting brighter and later, and it was almost midnight when Wen Jiu got up.

The servants in the courtyard were worried that the girl was exhausted from entering the palace yesterday, so none of them dared to call her today.

Hearing the movement in the room, Zisu gently pushed the door open and came in.

"Girl, you are finally up."

Looking at Wen Jiu sitting on the bed with the quilt in his arms, his eyes that used to be black and white now look like he hasn't woken up.

"Did anything happen today?" Wen Jiu seemed to have remembered something and turned to look at Zisu, his eyes still filled with confusion.

"Girl, you are joking. How can something happen every day?"

Zi Su motioned to the servants outside the door to bring all the toiletries into the room, "Now that the weather is getting colder, Madam wanted to ask the girl to go out together to make new clothes."

"Then why didn't you come to call me?" Wen Jiu got up and finished washing, then sat in front of the dressing mirror and let Banxia take care of his hair.

"I'm worried that the girl was tired yesterday. I said we'll wait until the girl wakes up." Zi Su stood aside obediently, "Can you tell the kitchen to make some food for the girl?"

"Just make something." Wen Jiu's mind is not on food right now, "You go back to your mother, and we will go out in the afternoon."

I have to go out to look for ghosts...otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night.

"Yes, girl." Zi Su walked towards the main courtyard after receiving the order.

"Didn't you have a good rest last night?" The beloved daughter, Mo Ruomu, had just got on the carriage. Mrs. Wen couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw that her daughter's eyes were all purple.

"The ghost hunting order has been reminding me all night long that there are ghosts." Wen Jiu put his face on his hands, his words full of helplessness.

"Catch ghosts, catch ghosts, your master is thousands of miles away, how can he still call you?"

Mrs. Wen has always been kind-hearted, but when she mentioned Quan Zhen Sanren, she became very angry.

"Master, including me, there are ten apprentices in total, all over the world to eliminate harm for the people."

The hard work belongs to the apprentice, and the merits belong to the master.

Mrs. Wen couldn't help but sigh, "What should I do if the girl's family fights and kills like this every day? If Prince Lu finds out, I'm afraid he will block the door and cancel the engagement."
