God's hexagram favorite concubine

Chapter 370 She Was Killed by a Ghost

The woman's breath had a fishy smell, which made Xi'er's eyes flash before she finally saw where she was!

At this very moment, she was standing on the edge of the barren well in the backyard of Haitang Palace. In front of her was the dark barren well. The white moonlight cast it down. She saw the foul-smelling well water at the bottom of the well rippling slightly.

Xi'er turned her head stiffly, and met a face without facial features.

The pale face was as flat as ironed white paper, and the moonlight shone on that face, giving off a gloomy luster.

"Carry me home, okay?" The gentle and cold voice seemed to contain some kind of seductive magic power, and it sounded in Xi'er's ear.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Along with the shrill screams, there was a loud bang from the backyard.On the bed in the dormitory, Zhuge Jiajia, who had been sleeping deeply, was awakened, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Sitting up at once, Zhuge Jiajia listened intently for a while.

She seemed to have heard Xi'er screaming just now.

Is it her delusion?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jiajia lifted the bed curtain and shouted to the inside and outside, "Xi'er! Xi'er! Are you there?"

Her response was a dead silence.

The uneasiness in his heart spread like ripples, Zhuge Jiajia got out of bed, and ran barefoot to the inside and outside without putting on his shoes.

"Come on! Come on, come on!"

……

The next day, the news that Princess Jia's personal maid committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in the middle of the night quickly spread throughout the imperial city.

"In the past ten days, three palace ladies have died in this palace."

"I heard that His Majesty was also bewitched. You said that when Concubine Xian assassinated His Majesty, was she also a ghost? Otherwise, why did she assassinate His Majesty? Your Majesty loves her so much."

"I think it might be that one who caused the trouble, after all, that one died so unjustly..."

"Bah! You don't want to die! How dare you mention that one!"

"..."

Xia Zishang walked to the door of Zhonggan Palace, just in time to hear the two little eunuchs guarding the door whispering. When they saw Xia Zishang approaching, they immediately closed their mouths and pretended nothing happened look.

Stepping into the door of the bedroom with a normal expression, Xia Zishang saw the crying girl sitting next to Zhuge Qing at a glance.

It was the Zhuge Jiajia she had seen in the imperial garden before.

At this time, her eyes were already crying into walnuts, holding a handkerchief in her hand, she kept wiping her tears away, while Zhuge Qing was patiently comforting her.

When Zhuge Jiajia saw Xia Zishang, she quickly raised her head and forced back her tears, as if she didn't want outsiders to see her frailty.

"Caomin has met the empress, Princess Jia." Xia Zishang bowed to the two in front of her without saying a word.

"Young Master Xia, you don't need to be too polite, just give me your seat." Zhuge Qing said kindly.

After Xia Zishang took her seat, Zhuge Jiajia's red eyes turned into little rabbits looked at her.

"I heard that you are an onmyoji, right?"

Hearing the girl's hoarse voice, Xia Zishang nodded silently.

"Then, can you help me avenge Xi'er?" Zhuge Jiajia's voice trembled at the mention of Xi'er, "She was killed by a ghost! It must be!"

"Jiajia..." Zhuge Qing glanced helplessly at Zhuge Jiajia, "Xi'er's death may have been just an accident, you..."

"It wasn't an accident!" Zhuge Jiajia said in a decisive tone, "Xi'er definitely couldn't have committed suicide, she was killed by a ghost! She was killed by the wronged soul of Concubine Yuan! Aunt, do you still remember..."
