After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

The soft nun ordered a few palace maids and left together.

Cining Palace became quiet again.

But the silence didn't last long, and the Cining Palace became lively.

Qiao Niannian suddenly opened her eyes, counted with her fingers, and knew something had happened.

She left quietly, covered Xia Muyan with a quilt, then put on her clothes and walked out of the house.

outside the house.

It was already a mess.

The maid who followed Aunt Ruan to the imperial dining room entered the Queen Mother's chamber with a panicked look on her face.

"The Queen Mother, Auntie Ruan fell into the pond and disappeared."

The Queen Mother was shocked.

Aunt Ruan has been by her side since she entered the palace. They have been with her for half a lifetime, and the two of them have already surpassed the relationship between master and servant.

It's not an exaggeration to say they are relatives.

When the Queen Mother heard that Aunt Ruan was in trouble, her feet felt weak.

The next moment, she suddenly remembered that during the day, Qiao Niannian had reminded Aunt Ruan not to go to places with lots of water.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother immediately spoke.

"Hurry up and call girl Nian."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Qiao Niannian walked in from the outside: "The Queen Mother, I already know the matter, and now I need the palace maid to help me lead the way."

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Quick, lead the way for Nian Yatou."

The palace maid immediately got up from the ground and stumbled out.

The Queen Mother also quickly put on her cloak, led the palace maids, and chased Qiao Niannian and the others in the direction they left.

The maid supported the Queen Mother and quickened her pace.

On the other side, the palace maid who led Qiao Niannian walked closer to the pond and suddenly did not dare to go forward.

She spoke with a horrified look on her face.

"This is where Aunt Ruan was dragged down into the pond. I called the guards over at that time, but everyone went down to fish for a while, but no one saw Aunt Ruan."

Qiao Niannian looked at the guards in the pond. They were still looking for Aunt Ruan in the water, but they found nothing.

Logically speaking, if this person fell into the water, he would not sink so quickly.

Besides, the pond is not deep. Anyone with good water quality can touch the bottom of the pond.

But when so many people went down, they were surprised not to find Aunt Ruan.

While the palace maid was explaining, the Queen Mother also came to the pond with the support of another palace maid. Looking at the dark water, she asked the guard commander beside her anxiously.

"How's it going? Have you found the soft nanny?"

The guard commander knelt on one knee.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, I heard the shouts of the palace maid and rushed over with my men, but there was no fluctuation in the water surface, and I could not see the figure of the soft nanny."

"The guards have been searching for a long time, but they still haven't found the soft nanny."

The Queen Mother swayed.

Can't believe this fact.

Qiao Niannian spoke at the right time.

"Don't be anxious, Queen Mother. This is a disaster that is destined to happen to you. Even though I have warned her, it seems that she still hasn't escaped."

"But this won't kill Auntie Soft."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother finally felt relieved, and at the same time she had a deeper understanding of Qiao Niannian's mystical skills.

"Girl Nian, is there any way to find Aunt Ruan?"

Qiao Niannian took out a talisman from her body.

"This is the water ghost asking for his life. The reason why the guards couldn't find the soft nanny is because the water ghost has some moral skills and used blindness."

After saying that, Qiao Niannian chanted the talisman, and the yellow talisman in his hand spontaneously ignited without wind, and the falling dust floated into the pond.

The commander of the guards glanced at the surrounding trees. The leaves were not moving at all. There was no wind at all.

But he saw with his own eyes that the dust fell from Qiao Niannian's position to the pond a few meters away. The moment the dust fell, everyone heard the cry for help.

"Help, help."

The guards in the pond were stunned.

It was clear that Aunt Ruan was not seen just now, but at this moment, Aunt Ruan was right next to him.

The guard did not hesitate, grabbed the soft nanny's arm and brought her to the shore.

There were guards on the shore who responded and immediately pulled the soft nanny up.

Aunt Ruan's face turned pale, she spat out two pieces of water, and then passed out.

The palace maid was about to step forward, but was held back by Qiao Niannian.

"Wait a moment."

Qiao Niannian stepped forward, stared at Aunt Ruan's body, and spoke sharply.

"You come out on your own, or I beat you out."

Everyone didn't know what Qiao Niannian was going to do, but the person lying on the ground was clearly Aunt Ruan.

Moreover, it was night and the ground was cold. Lying down like this might kill Aunt Ruan.

The Queen Mother looked worried, the people around her looked at each other, and the soft nun on the ground had a pale face and looked like she had fainted.

Qiao Niannian saw the ghost hiding in Aunt Ruan's body and grabbed it with her bare hands. She pulled out a black shadow from Aunt Ruan's body and threw it to the ground.

Everyone can see this scene clearly.

Because Qiao Nian read the spell just now, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the black shadow.

The shadow was not black. He was wearing shabby white clothes, and his hair blocked his face in front, making it difficult to see his appearance and gender.

On the ground beside it, the watermark continued to expand, and sparse water flowed from the black figure, as if there was no end to the flow.

Everyone was shocked.

The guard suddenly pulled out his sword and guarded the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but take two steps back.

Qiao Niannian didn't move. She looked at the water ghost with a cold expression.

"You have already committed a lot of sins, and now you want to find an innocent person to be your scapegoat. Do you think you can enter reincarnation if you find a scapegoat?"

The water ghost didn't move and sat slumped on the ground, looking very peaceful.

It didn't respond until Qiao Niannian spoke.

"what do you know?"

"You Taoist priests are just sanctimonious. You can stand and talk without pain in your back."

"I soak in this cold pond every day. Day after day, my body becomes swollen. I don't want to harm anyone, but I just want to be reincarnated."

"I only have such a small request. Is it too much?"

"But I just can't reincarnate. I'm trapped here. If I don't find a scapegoat, I will never be able to reincarnate. I've been here for twenty years."

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel that this water ghost was a little pitiful.

Qiao Niannian kicked the water ghost aside with such force that the water ghost was torn into pieces.

However, the water ghost is a soul body, and even if it is scattered, it can maintain itself.

The water ghost put his body together pitifully, making his whole body look particularly pitiful.

On the contrary, it made Qiao Niannian a bit vicious.

Qiao Niannian sneered: "You're lying again."

"The reason why you became a water ghost is because you killed too many people and committed countless crimes. After being found out the evidence, you ran away in a panic and accidentally fell into the pond."

"It turns out that it was soaked for too long. Even if the body is found and fished out, your soul is trapped here, right? Empress Zhaoyi."

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the people on the ground.

Zhaoyi?

Which Zhaoyi?
