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

Chapter 39 Broken Ning Palace

Turning around for a moment, he saw Lu Xu standing at the door. His expression suddenly softened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, the emperor is looking for you. Follow me in quickly."

Lu Xu nodded slightly, and then quickly walked into the room. As expected, there were many people standing in the room. Not only the emperor and the queen, but also most of the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital gathered around the bed, covering the bed inlaid with gold and jade.

Concubine Rou's pitiful cry passed through the wall of people very clearly and reached Lu Xu's ears: "It's so scary! What a scary ghost! He was standing on the palace road with his back to me, limping when he walked. , there is still... yellow pus in the mouth! The skin... the skin is still shriveled! It looks like it has been sun-dried, Your Majesty——"

After Lu Xu heard this, the scene last night appeared in his mind. It seemed that he was not the only one to encounter this evil spirit.

Someone in front of the bed turned around and saw Lu Xu. He quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty."

With impeccable posture and a gentle and pleasant voice, she is none other than Concubine Rou's niece, Sun Weiwan.

Concubine Rou glanced at Lu Xu and just cried bitterly. It seemed that no one would help.

"Is it possible that I was a little dazzled after playing chess with the emperor for a long time last night?" The queen still did not believe that there was such a strange thing in the palace.

"No." Lu Xu's face was sullen and his expression was quite solemn.

"Did Zi Lin see it too?"

Everyone turned to look at Lu Xu.

"Wei Chen was patrolling the palace road last night and saw it." Lu Xu said seriously.

Concubine Rou hurriedly took off the handkerchief and cried: "Your Majesty! Even the Crown Prince has seen it. You can't even lie to the Crown Prince..."

Although Lu Xu often felt that the harem was noisy and wished that there were fewer concubines to quarrel with each other, this was a fact after all, and he had to investigate the matter clearly...

Seeing that Lu Xu was silent, Concubine Rou suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at him in horror: "You saw it! How scary that ghost is. We ran back to the palace last night like we were desperate, and the female ghost was standing in the palace. She walked down the steps outside and wanted to climb up, but a yellow light came out of nowhere and blocked it. She walked away with a smile... She was laughing, her skin was cracked! It was really scary. very scary…"

Lu Xu felt a chill in his heart after hearing this.

Thinking of what happened last night, Wen Jiu had expected it to happen. The evil spirit actually rushed everywhere and even tried to enter various palaces... And that yellow light should be the talisman set by Wen Jiu before leaving.

Anrui Palace

"Is the princess in good health?"

Wen Jiu smiled and greeted, "I sent you a greeting card a few days ago and wanted to bring you these new toys, but you rejected me. I thought you were too busy."

"Jiu'er..." The Sixth Princess hesitated, "I don't know why the memory of the past few days is completely blank. I have no memory of the greetings you mentioned..."

Si Huai'an frowned. The imperial doctor couldn't diagnose anything wrong, and she was filled with fear.

"Don't worry, princess. I do this sometimes. Now that it's over, don't think about it. There's nothing important, right?"

This situation cannot be explained, and the only thing that can be done is to advise Si Huai'an not to be too entangled.

After all, the truth is often scarier...

While the sixth princess went to change clothes, Jiang Yaoxi secretly whispered into Wen Jiu's ear: "The compass points to Anle Palace."

"Anle Palace?" Wen Jiu couldn't help but frown, "Isn't it the palace of Concubine Rou?"

"No!" Jiang Yaoxi saw that the compass pointer began to change again, "Now it seems to be heading northeast again."

The two quickly looked at each other and ran towards Anle Palace.

"Miss Wen!" The maid who came in carrying melons and fruits shouted out when she saw the two men running out in a hurry.

"I'm in a hurry!" Wen Jiu subconsciously replied, it doesn't matter, in this palace, he is shameless...

"Senior sister, you go to the end of the block and I'll go to your place from Anle Palace and we'll meet up!"

If they work separately, one of them will discover the traces of this evil spirit.

"it is good."

Jiang Yaoxi quickly flew in the other direction. When it comes to Qinggong, she is one of the best in Qingyun Mountain. Unexpectedly, when the two stood panting at the so-called meeting point, no one encountered the mummy...

"What's happening here?"

The sixth brother's compass has never been wrong. Wen Jiu motioned to Jiang Yaoxi to take out the compass and take a look.

"Yes, it was indeed in that direction. We were not mistaken." Jiang Yaoxi made sure that she didn't find anything unusual when she came.

Although Wen Jiu does not have a compass, the ghost hunting order is on her body, and she will definitely find out if there is anything abnormal.

Could it be...

"typical!"

The two said in unison.

The two followed the compass and arrived in front of a dilapidated palace.

Although this place is inside the palace, it is completely different from the palaces made of gold and jade.

Pushing open the palace door, you can see the dilapidated courtyard at a glance. The grass in the courtyard is knee-deep, dead leaves have fallen all over the ground, and there are vague spider webs hanging on the corridors of the palace. The red walls have long faded, and almost The old tree's horny dragon-like branches are circling and intertwined, and there are a few crows hanging on the branches...

The wind is blowing, and there are few people...

"Suining Palace?" Wen Jiu had never heard of another Suining Palace in the palace...

Jiang Yaoxi carefully walked into the palace with a compass. The pointer on the compass swayed uncertainly. When she stood still in the courtyard, the final direction of the pointer was... Anle Palace!

"This is the right direction, not necessarily the tunnel, but there must be other ways."

Wen Jiu took a wary look at the surrounding environment. The abandoned palace, with few people passing by, wild grass growing wantonly, long-dried wells, peeling walls, crumbling doors and windows... there seemed to be traces of a fight.

This is the perfect place to kill people...or abandon corpses.

How many scandals are there in the palace?
  "What should we do? The princess will definitely become suspicious after being away for so long."

Jiang Yaoxi was a little worried. After all, in the palace, if something was involved that shouldn't be known, hundreds of mouths wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

"Senior sister, I can't say that I can catch ghosts, but... you can."

Wen Jiu rolled his eyes. Just now, the Sixth Princess mentioned that the Holy Master seemed to want to summon the master from Daxing Temple into the palace.

"Instead of being sneaky, why not take advantage of the panic in the palace and ask Lu Xu to recommend you as a real ghost hunter? Are you not better than the monks in Daxing Temple?"

The most urgent task is to find Lu Xu.

"Master Lou? Are you there?"

Wen Jiu tried to call out again, and as expected, Lou Wu followed her.

"Miss Wen." Lou Wu walked in from the door, feeling inexplicably guilty about being caught. Then he thought that following Miss Wen should be a tacit agreement between the adult and the girl.

"Go and tell your master that he has a friend who can catch ghosts, his name is Jiang Yaoxi."

Lou Wu glanced at the woman holding the compass and nodded: "Yes."

He is only responsible for conveying whether the adult agrees or not depends on the adult's wishes.

"Let's go back first."

The two walked on the palace road for a while. Wen Jiu squinted his eyes and turned around to look at the palace again...

From a distance, there seemed to be light inside, and the red candlelight made the place become more and more gloomy, and Wen Jiu felt strange in his heart.
