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

Chapter 40 Is it Suining Palace?

Anrui Palace

"Jiu'er..." Seeing Wen Jiu's return, Si Huai'an hurriedly ran out of the hall, "You're back."

"I just passed by the Royal Garden and there were a few fish I had never seen before. I found them interesting and watched them for a while, which made the princess worried."

Wen Jiu bowed to her and was a little touched when he saw her anxious face.

No matter how much intrigue there is in the palace, at least the Sixth Princess is sincere to her.

"There is a lot of chaos in the palace right now. I'm afraid..." Si Huai'an hesitated to speak.

"Did something happen in the palace?" Wen Jiu asked tentatively: "I just heard...I heard someone saying that Concubine Rou seemed to have seen something unclean."

"Shh!" Si Huai'an stretched out her hand to cover Wen Jiu's mouth. She looked around, as if she was afraid of being heard.

"Jiu'er, there might really be a ghost in the palace." Si Huai'an frowned, with fear in his eyes, "I'm afraid it's the one from Suining Palace who is here to take revenge..."

Wen Jiu's eyes lit up slightly when he heard the words "Shaining Palace".

How many secrets does this palace hide?

The carriage rolled away from the palace gate, and Wen Jiu and Jiang Yaoxi sat in the carriage, each with their own thoughts.

"Senior sister, did we... touch anything that we shouldn't have touched that day?"

As the Sixth Princess said, the one from Suining Palace has been gone for seven or eight years, so how could he appear so frequently during this period...

And that day... Qian Xiao's ghost suddenly became extremely cruel. Could it be...

"Avalokitesvara statue!" Wen Jiuru said as if he woke up from a dream, "It's that Avalokitesvara statue!"

Jiang Yaoxi's hand was suddenly grabbed by her, and she shivered with fright.

"What happened to the Guanyin statue?" When Wen Jiu and the Sixth Princess were talking for the last time, Jiang Yaoxi went to check elsewhere but didn't hear what they said.

"That Guanyin statue was originally in Suining Hall and belonged to Concubine Ning... But in that palace, everyone disappeared overnight..."

"What? All gone?"

Jiang Yaoxi opened her eyes wide, "This is the palace, how could people disappear overnight?"

"They could all be dead."

The Sixth Princess must have something to hide.

"If he died, there would be a ray of soul trapped in the Guanyin statue. Unfortunately, the Guanyin statue was sent to the palace of the teenage Sixth Princess after returning to the warehouse."

"That day when we were little kids catching money, we broke the Guanyin statue and that evil spirit was released?"

"Go to Lu Xu and ask clearly."

What Wen Jiu didn't know, Lu Xu would know because he had been in and out of the palace since he was a child.

Yun came to the restaurant, and the cups and cups were intertwined.

Wen Jiu put on his silk hat, got off the carriage and took Jiang Yaoxi to the room on the second floor.

She has sent someone to deliver a message to Lu Xu. This ghost is coming in a menacing manner. It has not hurt anyone so far. It is just disturbing people in the palace. I am afraid it has other purposes.

Not long after Wen Jiucai sat down, he heard slow footsteps, and then a knock on the door.

"Master Lu, I want to know about Suining Palace."

Wen Jiu got straight to the point. At this time, she had no intention of greeting Lu Xu, and neither did Lu Xu.

This is the palace. The Guanyin statue is in the residence of the sixth princess. Lu Xu often walks around the palace. Her talisman does not seem to have completely trapped the evil thing. They are in danger at any time...

"Suining Palace?" Lu Xu frowned slightly. He came on horseback, and the cold air around him had not completely dissipated.

Wen Jiu poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to his hand, and said a little guiltily: "Sir, please warm yourself up first."

She was indeed impatient.

"You are talking about Suining Palace." The warmth in the palm of my hand reached to the bottom of my heart, it was the hot tea that I had poured for a long time.

"Yes." Wen Jiu nodded vigorously, "Something must have happened from Suining Hall to Suining Hall."     Otherwise, how could the name of a palace that was originally blessed with great blessings be changed to such an ominous name.

"Concubine Ning was originally the beloved concubine of the Holy Emperor. She was indifferent by nature and did not seek fame or fortune. She would rather live in the most remote Suining Palace than interact with other concubines."

Lu Xu was twelve or thirteen years old at that time. As the prince's companion, he would naturally hear some things when he went in and out of the palace.

"Until one day, Concubine Ning was pregnant, and someone framed her for having an affair."

Lu Xu paused for a moment. He had met Concubine Ning on the palace road.

That day, he accidentally mentioned the Holy Brother's brother in front of his mother, the reason why the former prince was deposed, but his mother made him kneel on the palace road to reflect.

He felt very aggrieved. It was the prince's younger brother who told him that if he was not good and did not do well in his studies, he would be eliminated.

He just asked more out of curiosity, but it made his mother furious.

Later, a lady passed by. She got out of the sedan chair and helped him up personally, telling him not to be afraid, and that she would intercede with her mother...

"False accusation?" Wen Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him who was lost in thought, "Your Excellency also believes that Concubine Ning is innocent."

"Concubine Ning is arrogant and has high self-respect. She will definitely not do such a thing." Lu Xu affirmed with a solemn expression.

Wen Jiu suddenly felt something in his heart, Lu Xu... actually had someone he respected so much.

"What then?"

"Later, everyone in the palace disappeared, and the Holy Emperor obtained evidence of Concubine Ning's so-called "illicit affair."

"What evidence?"

"No one knows." Lu Xu poured himself another cup of tea.

"I believe others when they say no one knows, but it's not very kind of you to say you don't know."

Lu Xu raised his eyes slightly, wondering when the relationship between them began to change.

I remember that when we first met her, she was always secretive. She said she wouldn't do anything but did everything.

It's good now that I can still joke with myself.

"Sir, you also want to know why Concubine Ning died, right?"

"Why death? There are rumors in the palace that the entire palace has disappeared."

"In this palace, disappearing is equal to death."

Wen Jiu's expression remained as usual, the red walls of the Forbidden City were just a place for eating people.

"I can't guarantee that I can find out the truth, but I will tell you all the information I find. I will wait for you here in two days."

Lu Xu put down his cup and prepared to get up and leave.

"Take my senior sister with you. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find out. I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Don't you hope something happens to me?"

Lu Xu was in a daze for a moment. It seemed that no one had ever said this to him since he was a child.

Everyone told him to endure, to become stronger, to grow up and to be on his own...

Wen Jiu's eyes were stunned, he didn't expect Lu Xu to ask such a question.

She quickly came to her senses, with a bright smile on her face, "Sir, we live and die together now. When Senior Sister protects you, she is protecting myself."

Lu Xu drank all the tea in the cup in one breath, stood up and left.

Wen Jiu followed and took a few steps forward. What happened to this man? Why did he leave without replying...

Lu Xu walked to the door, was silent for a moment, and finally said one word, "Okay."

Wen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Having his senior sister come into the palace to help find out the truth was enough to get twice the result with half the effort, and she could also protect Lu Xu.
