The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 36 Dolls
That night.

Lian Zhi checked once more whether the charcoal fire in the fumigation stove was burning hot enough, and then came to tidy up Yun Ruochen's tent, and then said: "Princess, the servants and maidservants are retiring. Yinqiao is on duty tonight, you want to drink tea Just call her."

"Well."

Yun Ruochen snorted from the closed tent, it sounded like he was about to fall asleep.

Lian Zhi stepped back in peace and closed the small door inside.After Yinqiao sent her out, she yawned and unlatched the door, and soon fell asleep on the kang outside.

She and Lian Zhi are the only maidservants of the princess, and they used to take turns on duty at night.But the princess slept well, and when they seldom called people around at night, although they had to be on duty the next day, it was not hard.

After the watchman in the house rang the second watch, Yinqiao was already in a deep sleep.

At this time, Yun Ruochen slowly sat up from the bed, and got off the bed lightly.

She put on a narrow padded jacket, thought for a while and then put on a thick padded robe.This little body is too weak, a wind and cold is enough for her, so she should dress warmer.

After all, it was very cold to go to the garden.

Yun Ruochen slipped out of the house with ease, and when he got outside, he was shivered by the cold wind of early winter.

It's all because of that nasty traitor, which made her have to leave the warm bed in the middle of the night to do things. Is it easy for her?

Dear father, my daughter has worked so hard for you. If you treat me badly in the future, I will cry.

Yun Ruochen grumbled silently in his heart, and walked all the way to the garden.

She firmly believed that there must be a reason for that person to choose to appear in the garden when no one was around.Although she hasn't figured out the reason for the time being, she still decided to go to the garden for a walk.

The doors between the various courtyards are locked at night and will not be opened until dawn.Except for Yun Ruochen, who is used to going out in the middle of the night and thieves and robbers, it is very difficult for ordinary family members to run away without disturbing others.

So that person can only choose to come out in the morning when there are least people?Unexpectedly, Yun Ruochen crossed the garden in order to take a shortcut, and what was even more unexpected was that... this seemingly innocent and harmless little princess not only has a very sensitive sense of hearing, but also has an ability to sense breath that ordinary people can't match.

"It's so cold, so cold!"

A gust of wind blew by, and the garden, which had no flowers at all but fallen leaves, looked even more desolate and terrifying.Yun Ruochen shuddered, sucking his nose indecently, and inadvertently remembered the funny scene of Ye Shenyan's nose full of snot that day.

"Puchi, that kid is really cute..."

Thinking of Ye Shenyan, a lively and detached boy, Yun Ruochen finally felt better.

She sighed, tried her best to clear up her mood, and told herself "you can retreat back to the bed to warm up after finishing your work soon".

Three copper coins slipped out of her palm and were placed in an irregular triangle in the center of the garden.

It's great to be able to recover the ability to deduce spells, thank you Ye Shenyan for your yang energy!

"Hmph, let me see what's weird..."

No one knew that she had cast spells on the entire Prince Jing's mansion since the first day she returned to Beijing.Although she is currently limited by her ability and cannot use formations to prevent external evil energy from entering, she can still roughly grasp if there are any changes in the aura in the mansion.

If the man had really done something in the garden, she should be able to find out.

A yellow talisman appeared in her hand. Under the gloomy moonlight, the bright red cinnabar pattern had a domineering look, which perfectly matched Yun Ruochen's current mood.

She hates people who prevent her from eating good food, and even more hate people who prevent her from sleeping well.She firmly believes in one sentence: "Behind every disturbed sleep, there is a heart that wants to kill."

The woman who caused me to come out to blow the cold wind, you are about to be unlucky.

She shook out the torch and lit the talisman, threw the talisman into the small magic circle formed by three copper plates, and watched the talisman instantly turn into smoke with a sneer.

"It's really evil?"

Yun Ruochen frowned when he saw that the talisman was burnt to ashes and pointed in a certain direction.After two more glances, she recognized that was where she'd noticed people during the day.

Very good, very smooth... She quickened her pace and walked to the place, which was a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones.In the past ten or so steps, there is a small pond.

Taihu Lake stones are exquisite and clear, and rich and noble families love to use them to repair courtyards and make them elegant.However, the Taihu Stone in Prince Jing's Mansion is inferior at first glance, and there is no trace of lightness and elegance. It can be seen that when Prince Jing built the mansion, it was completely ignored by the officials of the Ministry of Industry who built the mansion.

"It doesn't matter father, I have a daughter." Yun Ruochen rubbed his hands and continued to walk forward, her own father came to hurt her.Those officials who look down on people with dog eyes, when they cry in the future, hum.

She searched around Taihu Stone with her own method, but found nothing.But Yun Ruochen is a stubborn person, she will not give up so easily.

When she searched carefully for the third time, hot sweat oozes from her back.Finally, she found something strange under a certain Taihu stone.

"The soil here has just been touched."

She judged that there was something wrong with the pile of dead leaves on the soil, it was too thick.It seems that the fallen leaves were deliberately piled up with soil.

Luckily she was well prepared!
Yun Ruochen took out another small dagger from his bosom, which was specially left by Nie Shen for her self-defense.

With the help of a dagger, digging is much easier.But Yun Ruochen was very careful, she didn't deliberately destroy the original state, but dug down very carefully.

"Ok?"

After digging for a quarter of an hour, she felt a different touch from the dirt.

At this time, the dagger must no longer be used.She reluctantly threw the dagger aside, reached down with her hand, and took out a small wooden box not long after.

The box was not locked, and it opened with a light touch.

"Doll?"

Yun Ruochen's face turned green all of a sudden.

There are three wooden dolls in the box.Two big and one small.Each doll was engraved with patterns that even Yun Ruochen didn't know very well, and she could barely make out that it was a kind of writing.

Two adults and one child...

Aren't these the current masters of Prince Jing's Mansion?
Prince Jing, Concubine Huang, and herself!

"King Shu! Don't force people too much!"

Yun Ruochen almost roared angrily, now she really hates that the three-star array she gave to King Shu is too cheap for him!

What are these three puppets used for, how could she not know?

Similar tricks...whether it is the Chilong jade pendant or the puppet, they are all trying to harm Prince Jing's family from within.

It was probably the news of her "recovery" that made King Shu unable to sit still.If he had followed his original plan, she should have been completely controlled by the evil energy at this time, and then she could start to transfer the evil energy to her relatives around her.But they didn't know that Chilong Yupei had already left Prince Jing's mansion—he had even entered Prince Shu's mansion. They thought that Yun Ruochen's life was hard, so they asked the traitor to bury the three puppets in Prince Jing's mansion.

These puppets are not for cursing.It was not so easy for King Shu to obtain Prince Jing's birth date, and the prince's birth date has always been deliberately protected.Therefore, the role of these three puppets is actually the "seed" made to echo the evil spirit of Chilong Yupei.

The "master" behind King Shu wanted to use this method to set up an evil formation in Prince Jing's mansion to capture souls!
"I was too negligent..."

Yun Ruochen's prowess in spells does not mean that she is an omniscient genius.For example, this time, she didn't expect that among the four court ladies bestowed from the palace, there were people from King Shu.

It seems that his power may be greater than she imagined?

That's right, the stronger the enemy, the more fulfilling it will be when you defeat it!
Yun Ruochen suppressed the anger in his heart, calmed himself down, put the wooden box containing the doll back to its original place, and restored the pile of soil and fallen leaves with a more careful technique than before.

Afterwards, she carefully cleaned up all the traces left by herself, washed her hands in the small pond, and then returned to the house in the dark.

Before entering the house, she even cleaned the soles of her shoes, so as not to leave any suspicious marks.Alas, is she a princess or a female snitch?
Anyway, after coming to the Daqing Dynasty, she didn't have a peaceful life.What about the life of the legendary daughter who eats and waits to die?TV shows are a lie!The princess of the family just needs to dress nicely and fall in love with the male protagonist. Her male protagonist... woo woo woo...

I remember tears.

It was only when she got into the warm bed that she stopped madly complaining in her heart, and soon fell asleep.

Why don't you get a good night's sleep?
There is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow!

"Princess, have you not had a good rest?"

In the early morning of the next day, when Yinqiao was combing Yun Ruochen's hair, she found a faint shadow under Yun Ruochen's eyes.Not only that, but the complexion on her face was not very good.

The princess of her family has been weak since she was young, and she recovered a lot when she recuperated in another hospital in summer, but fell ill again this time when she returned to Beijing.Thinking of Yun Ruochen's sick appearance last time, Yinqiao and Lianzhi felt lingering fear.

"Well... pour me another cup of calming tea. Add red dates."

Yun Ruochen rubbed his swollen temples.It seems that it didn't take long before I closed my eyes, and it was dawn.If she could, she would really like to stay in bed until noon.I was so tired last night!
It's a pity that she is a hard worker.

"Princess, are you still going to greet Huang Niangniang today?"

Lian Zhi looked at Yun Ruochen's dark circles with some worry.She had no right to stop Yun Ruochen from paying her respects to her concubine, but out of selfishness, she also hoped that the princess would propose to rest in the house by herself, and it would be good if the servants could speak for her.This is also the rule when the princess is sick.

But Yun Ruochen didn't mean to be "lazy".

"Well, I'm going. Courtesy is irresistible."

Yun Ruochen spoke in a high-sounding manner, but he was thinking in his heart, what if he didn't go?

If she doesn't go... she won't be able to catch that bitch who buried a puppet under the rock of Taihu Lake to harm her.It is even more impossible to find out the messenger behind the scenes.

This woman is one of the four court ladies, right?Or, all four are problematic?

It doesn't matter, she will know the truth soon.
