Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 321 Ghost Ghost
It was dark at night, and the streets in Anzhou Prefecture were brightly lit, and pedestrians were bustling with laughter.

Princess Ping's convoy arrived at the gate of Prince Ping's Mansion on Chengxi Street, Anzhou Prefecture.

Su Mo opened the window and was surprised to see that the gate of Prince Ping's Mansion was nothing like it used to be.

In the past, there were two rows of red lanterns hanging at the gate of Prince Ping's mansion. They were brightly red and kept on all night, illuminating the gate of the mansion brightly.There are well-dressed domestic servants waiting at the gate, and every time she comes back from a trip, the servants will enthusiastically rush up, some lead the horse, and some put the step stool.The maids opened the car door, supported her with smiles like flowers, and shouted "Princess Ping is back", which filled her with joy.

The current Prince Ping Mansion has its doors closed.All the lanterns were extinguished, and they hung blackly above the gate, swaying with the cold wind, like two rows of human heads hanging up, which made her hair stand on end.

The guards of the convoy were silent, as if there was something invisible in the air that prevented everyone from making a sound.Only the horses pulling the cart snorted heavily, and their hooves stepped on the bluestone ground, making a sound like monsters giggling in the dark.

All this made her uneasy.

As soon as the carriage stopped, she couldn't wait to open the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the gate of the palace.

The gate of the palace squeaked softly, a gap opened, and a person's head poked out in the darkness, then the door opened wider, and the figure walked out sideways, and came to Su Mo to salute: "Princess Ping is back. "

Su Mo recognized that the person was the maid Xiaoxiang, and when she was about to ask, a guard in the motorcade took out a torch and wanted to light it.

Seeing that the guard was going to light the torch, Xiao Xiang quickly waved her hands and said in a low voice, "Don't light the torch, put it down quickly." The guard had already pulled out the flint, but hearing what Xiao Xiang said was serious, he quickly put down the torch.

Su Mo was a little strange, she grabbed Xiaoxiang and said, "What's the matter, why didn't you let the torch be lit?"

Seeing the guard put down the torch, Xiaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to Su Mo, "Princess, Prince Ping's condition is not very good. He can't see the light, and said it hurts his eyes. And he can't hear too loud voices..."

It was only then that Su Mo noticed that in such a large palace, the entrance was dark and the inside was silent.

There are thousands of handymen and servants in Prince Ping's mansion, and it seems that there is no one in the whole mansion now.

"Have you asked the doctor to prescribe medicine?" She asked Xiaoxiang as she walked.

Xiaoxiang shook her head and said: "Prince Ping refused to invite a doctor, saying that the medicine is useless... Fortunately, Wangfei, you are back, we slaves don't know what to do at all."

Only then did Su Mo know that Xiao Beiheng's situation was more serious than she thought.

Thinking that Xiao Beiheng had recovered, she decided to visit Shen Yuexi in Shengjing.Unexpectedly, after going out for a trip, Xiao Beiheng became more serious.

If a person does not have a good rest, even his personality will become irritable.

The two entered the front yard of the palace, and walked to the front hall under the dim moonlight.In the surrounding darkness, figures kept appearing and disappearing, all of them silent and without footsteps, like ghosts and wild ghosts.

At the entrance of the front hall, a group of figures emerged from the darkness of the side room and walked over tiptoely.The leader came to Su Mo and bowed, "I have seen the princess before."

This group of people are sergeants responsible for the security of the palace, but now they are walking like a group of thieves.

Su Mo nodded to let the sergeant pass by, then turned to Xiao Xiang and said, "How many days has King Ping been like this, and you have always been like this?"

"It's been five or six days. It wasn't like this at the beginning," Xiaoxiang said. "After you left, King Ping got up that night to practice swords in the back garden, and practiced archery with a bow. We all stayed together until midnight. I can still sleep for two hours. After that, King Ping will stay up all night, and we slaves can’t hold on. The housekeeper arranges half of the people to sleep, and half to serve King Ping, and everyone takes turns. As a result, King Ping named a maid that day, and it happened to be her turn. She went to bed late. King Ping got angry and took her..."

Speaking of the latter, Xiaoxiang's voice trembled.

Su Mo knew that the maid was obviously in danger, so she was anxious, so she stopped Xiao Xiang and said, "Stop talking, which room is King Ping in?"

"Practice swords in the back garden."

"Has he eaten?" Su Mo walked towards the back garden.

Xiao Xiang followed closely behind: "No, King Ping didn't eat all day today, and he ate some yesterday... We dare not go."

"Quickly ask the kitchen to prepare some of King Ping's favorite meals, and then send them to the back garden."

Xiaoxiang was a little scared, and asked, "Princess, cooking in the kitchen requires a stove..."

"It's okay, I'm going to see King Ping, you tell the kitchen what to do. Don't be afraid, I'm here, just send it quickly."

After Su Mo ordered Xiao Xiang, she hurried to the gate of the palace garden.

Outside the door stood two maids, with their hands crossed in front of them, standing upright in the darkness.Seeing her coming, the two of them didn't even dare to make a sound, only dared to bend down to salute, and then opened the door for her.

Su Mo rushed into the garden, only to see broken branches and leaves all over the ground, and almost all the flowers and trees had been broken.Xiao Beiheng held the Yanque sword with a cold light, stood between two broken trees, and turned around slowly.

"Beiheng," Su Mo quickly stepped forward and hugged Xiao Beiheng, "I'm back."

The autumn night was cold, and she could feel Xiao Beiheng's whole body was icy, as if he had been standing here all day.

Xiao Beiheng stood in a daze for a while as if his soul had come out of his body, then he lowered his head and said, "Momo, is that you?"

His voice was hoarse, with deep tiredness.

"It's me...the lights won't turn on, and I can't even recognize it," Su Mo held Xiao Beiheng's face in both hands, looked at his messy hair, haggard face, and sunken eye sockets, and said with some distress, "What's the matter, it's all fine."

"That thing came back to look for me, and it entangled me again..." Xiao Beiheng said in a low voice, "When I close my eyes, I have nightmares, and when I see the light, I can't open them again. Your voice shakes my ears It hurts... Momo, have you gone to offer incense to Shengjing's god?"

Only then did Su Mo remember that she forgot about it.

She promised Xiao Beiheng to burn incense and donate money to Shengjing's temple.Before these could be done, Queen Wen drove her back.She thought about Xiao Beiheng all the way, and didn't think about anything else.

But if he said he didn't make it, Xiao Beiheng would be even angrier if he found out.His mental state is too bad now to stimulate him anymore.

"Come on, the gods will bless you," Su Mo said with a smile, "I heard from Xiaoxiang that you haven't eaten all day. This is not acceptable. How can people not eat? I let the kitchen make your favorite food thing."

"I'm not hungry, I can't eat anything." Xiao Beiheng turned around and walked towards the stone table not far away.

Su Mo followed closely and saw that a corner of the stone table had been cut off, leaving only half of the tabletop.She didn't care, and sat down with Xiao Beiheng, saying: "Beiheng, I haven't eaten yet, you can eat something with me."

"You just eat it," Xiao Beiheng inserted the Yanque sword back into its scabbard, and asked, "Sister-in-law and elder brother... know the emperor's will?"

Seeing that he was in the mood to ask, Su Mo briefly told him about the process of visiting Shen Yuexi.

After saying a few words, the maid Xiaoxiang led dozens of servants into the back garden.There are those carrying tables in front, and those carrying various dishes in the back.

Everyone still didn't dare to light the lamps, and they all came in the dark.Fortunately, with Su Mo present, everyone became more courageous.

Su Mo was afraid that Xiao Beiheng would not be able to stand the glare of the light, so she didn't let the light be turned on. The moonlight was dim, but at least it could still illuminate it.She ordered her servants to set up tables and chairs beside the stone table, put down the dishes, and prepare wine cups and chopsticks.After telling the servants to retreat outside the garden, she got up and came to the dining table and said, "Bei Heng, come and eat with me too. We've never eaten like this before."

Xiao Beiheng shook his head and said, "I have no appetite."

Su Mo didn't force her, she took the chopsticks and put the vegetables in the bowl first, and said, "I told my sister-in-law about the establishment of the crown prince. My sister-in-law said that the eldest brother will not compete with us for the position of crown prince..."

Xiao Beiheng was originally sitting listlessly opposite her.Hearing this sentence, he suddenly raised his head, his voice was much higher than before:
"What did you say?"

Su Mo said: "I said that elder brother will not fight for the position of prince, sister-in-law said it herself."

In fact, she is not very sure whether Shen Yuexi really thinks so.But Shen Yuexi is not the kind of person who tells a lot of lies, and she has to tell such a big matter as Lian Lichu, so it can be seen that Shen Yuexi doesn't care about the position of the prince at all.

Xiao Beiheng inserted his hands into his hair, bowed his head for a while, raised his head, and reached for the chopsticks: "I suddenly feel a little hungry."

Just as Su Mo picked up a piece of duck, after hearing what Xiao Beiheng said, she put the duck in his bowl and said with a smile, "Then eat quickly."

She could see that when she said that Xiao Zhuo would not compete for the crown prince, Xiao Beiheng's heavy body seemed to suddenly become lighter, and even his appetite came up.

If Xie Chong was really haunting her, how could Xie Chong leave Xiao Beiheng just because of what she said.

She also believed that there was evil at work, but seeing that Xiao Beiheng regained his energy and appetite after she finished talking about Shen Yuexi's attitude, she couldn't help but feel that there might be no evil at all.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Beiheng cared too much about the position of prince, but he couldn't bear the pressure, so he became like this.

After the two of them had dinner, Xiao Beiheng was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.Su Mo personally helped him back to the bedroom, undressed him, and let him go to bed to rest.

Xiao Beiheng fell into a deep sleep as soon as he touched the pillow.Su Mo was worried that he would wake up from a nightmare, but she was not sleepy, so she sat by the bed and watched in the dark.Until late at night, Xiao Beiheng still did not wake up, and Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Xiao Beiheng got a good night's sleep and rested, everything would be fine.

She went out and said to Xiaoxiang: "All of you have worked hard to take care of King Ping these days, and now King Ping is asleep. Except for those who serve King Ping, everyone else should go to rest."

Xiaoxiang whispered excitedly: "It's fortunate that you are back, Princess, we really don't know what to do."

Su Mo smiled and said: "Let everyone go to rest. Everything will return to normal tomorrow, don't make it so gloomy."

Just as Xiaoxiang was about to leave, a maid came hurriedly from the corridor, came up to her and said, "Princess, there is news from Shengjing..."

Su Mo interrupted displeasedly: "Prince Ping is resting, and we will tell you tomorrow if you have any news."

The maid said nervously: "But... this is about Princess An."

"Princess An? What's wrong with her?" Su Mo was about to turn around and go back into the house, but when she heard the maid mentioning Shen Yuexi in a panic, she turned and asked.

"Princess An was poisoned to death."
