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

Chapter 43 Entering the Palace to Check
  His eyes moved slightly, and he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said calmly: "In that case, I just want to go to Concubine Rou's palace, Miss Jiang, please come with me."

"Okay." Jiang Yaoxi was worried that she had no excuse to go to Ning'an Palace, so it would be great to have Lu Xu with her.

Lou Wu was confused as he listened, what the hell? What Ning'an Palace?

There's no way this ghost is in Ning'an Palace again now.

My brain hasn't caught up yet, but my steps have.

Concubine Rou is so favored that she continues to be favored for ten years. Ning'an Palace has always been the busiest residence among all palaces. There are more than forty maids and chambermaids, and the number in the Queen's Palace is no more than that.

But now in this palace, the doors and windows are closed, and not even a person can be seen.

"Master Lu." Seeing Lu Xu coming, the chamberlain hurried forward to greet him.

"Why do you have to keep the doors and windows closed during the day?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know. My Majesty can't see people walking around outside the window now, so she ordered us to close the doors and windows."

Lu Xu turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yaoxi, trying to see on her face whether Concubine Rou's behavior was reasonable.

When he saw Jiang Yaoxi's confused eyes, he knew it was extremely unreasonable, and they still had to go in to find out.

"Is Concubine Rou's health getting better? Your Majesty ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly. I just have a few words to ask Concubine Rou."

"Sir," the chamberlain was about to take Lu Xu to the inner courtyard, but was interrupted by the personal maid next to Concubine Rou.

"Lord Lu, Concubine Rou is resting. She asked you to come back tomorrow." The maid lowered her eyes slightly. Although the Lord Jin Yiwei in front of her was quite favored by the Holy Spirit, she had to obey Concubine Rou's orders.

"The Holy One is very worried about the situation in the palace of Concubine Rou, and specially asked me to bring someone over to check it out. If it is inconvenient for me to enter now, just let her go in and have a look by herself. Concubine Rou does not need to see her. "

If the affairs of Suining Palace were related to Concubine Rou, she could always avoid her and prevent him from investigating from Ning'an Palace, but the first thing now is to clean up the evil spirits, so as long as Jiang Yaoxi can go in, that's fine.

"This" palace lady seems a little hesitant. The empress has said that no one is allowed to enter.
  "If you are so hesitant, has something happened to Concubine Rou? Or do you dare to go against the emperor's wishes?"

"I don't dare! Please ask the girl to come with me."

The palace maid gritted her teeth, as long as she didn't disturb the empress, she just took a look.

The incense in the Anning Palace was almost all spices used to aid sleep, and Concubine Rou had been suffering from insomnia for several days.

It was obviously bright and sunny outside, but the doors and windows inside the hall were closed tightly, and the gold-lacquered copper lamps were spread out like tree branches, dotted with several candles.

"Is the empress afraid of light?" Jiang Yaoxi asked doubtfully.

The palace maid leading the way replied in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, my queen has been frightened since that day. She will be frightened when she sees a palace maid wearing pink palace clothes walking past the window, so she asked us to lock the doors and windows."

"Have you been in the palace all day?"

"Yes, the queen can't get up, and she won't be served. Sometimes she seems to wake up and wants to drink water."

The servants who have been serving in Ning'an Palace also find it strange that Concubine Rou has never been like this. Even if she got seriously ill two years ago, she will ask them to ventilate her and help her go for a walk in the courtyard.

Now he lies in bed all day long, not thinking about food or tea. Even when the emperor comes, he can only stand outside the screen.

"Didn't I say that no one is allowed to come in?"

Separated by a layer of gauze, Concubine Rou's figure was not realistic enough, and her voice was weak and stiff, as if she was spitting out words one by one.

The maid knelt down in panic and admitted her mistake again and again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will leave immediately." The maid gently tugged on Jiang Yaoxi's clothes and anxiously motioned for her to leave immediately.

Jiang Yaoxi took a deep look at the bed in the darkness. The compass in her arms slowly turned and finally pointed to that place.

Wen Jiu paced back and forth in the room. The invitation to enter the palace tomorrow had been sent to the Sixth Princess. However, this time she was in the palace, so she still had to think of a safe way to escape unscathed.

"Jiu'er! Jiu'er!" Jiang Yaoxi ran in from the door in a panic.

"What's wrong, senior sister?" Wen Jiu subconsciously took a few steps toward the door.

“There’s bad news and worse news, which one do you want to hear first?”

Panting, Jiang Yaoxi poured herself a cup of tea and drank it while Wen Jiu was hesitating.

"Bad news or worse news?" Wen Jiu frowned in confusion, "I choose the worse one."

"Everyone in Suining Hall should be dead."

Wen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Jiang Yaoxi, "Isn't this an obvious thing? It's not a bad thing."

"The bad thing is who killed him." Jiang Yaoxi said seriously, "I heard Mr. Lu say that there will be blood in the palace."

Wen Jiu's face looked a little ugly, "If someone kills an entire palace, then it's appropriate to see blood..."

The emperor broke the law, and the common people... Wen Jiu didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"What about the other bad news?"

Jiang Yaoxi poured herself another cup of tea, "Another bad news. As you know, Suining Palace does have a tunnel. There is definitely something wrong with that dry well. But if the mummies of the entire palace are in the tunnel, I will still take you with me. More confident."

There was silence in the air…

"The other exit of the tunnel must be in Ning'an Palace. Today I entered Concubine Rou's bedroom, and the compass pointed in the direction of Concubine Rou's bed..." Jiang Yaoxi continued: "If the entrance of the tunnel is not nearby, then... "

"That means evil spirits are nearby." Wen Jiu frowned, "I will enter the palace tomorrow. I want to see who is so arrogant!"

The rain was wet, cold and crackling.

Wen Jiusu stood outside Anrui Palace with an umbrella in hand, his eyebrows tightly focused.

Jiang Yaoxi took Lou Wu to break His Highness Ning's talismans at this moment. Yesterday, they discussed countermeasures overnight and prepared a stack of talisman papers.

She couldn't help feeling that they were all refining talismans with the same master to catch ghosts, but their attainments in talismans were not even the slightest bit different.

The ghost hunting order is so bright that it emits a red light. It is no longer an ordinary little ghost...

She walked through the rain curtain and walked into the palace. There were some things she needed to ask the Sixth Princess.

"With such a heavy rain, I thought you wouldn't come." Si Huai'an took Wen Jiu's hand affectionately and asked someone to change the pot of hot tea.

"How could it be? Princess has trouble sleeping at night. Since I have such a good thing, I naturally have to send it to you as soon as possible."

Wen Jiu said with a smile. She deliberately looked around, pretending to be curious and asked: "Huh? I remember there was a Guanyin statue in this hall, why haven't I seen it these two times?"

Si Huai'an sighed and smiled bitterly: "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. I'm afraid it's the reason why the Guanyin statue was broken. I won't even be able to sleep well."
