Chapter 168 A Ghost is Here! She's Here
Dongshuang stood behind her personal nanny, her head bowed, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Locking them up would make things even easier! They must all die!
What kind of person is that master? As soon as the Empress left, he said there were evil spirits in Huaqing Palace? He frightened everyone in the palace.
Heh, there are plenty of vengeful ghosts but no wronged souls! She'll see how that woman catches the vengeful ghost she's talking about these next few days if she doesn't show up!
Not long after Shen Sangning left, he sent someone to say that the female ghost must be captured within three days, or else it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
As Wu Yao was preparing things inside the room, two palace maids passed by and couldn't help but whisper among themselves, "I wonder if this master is any good? Look how tragically those two old eunuchs died in the side room, that female ghost must be very fierce!" one of the maids said.
She felt that the sky was unusually gloomy today, and coupled with the events of the past two nights, Huaqing Palace now seemed eerie.
Another palace maid, knowing her timidity, offered a few words of comfort and whispered, "They all say Chunyu has come back for revenge. We have no grudge against her, so she certainly won't come after us!"
The timid palace maid thought it made sense.
They never even argued while Chunyu was alive, so they certainly wouldn't come looking for them.
Thinking about it carefully, if Consort Qin hadn't inexplicably moved Chunyu to a side room, she wouldn't have been tortured to death by those three old beasts.
So, in the past two days, haven't she been looking for the people who directly or indirectly killed her?
"What are you two dawdling about?! The Imperial Concubine is tired, so get up and serve her!"
The personal maid had just come from the side room, and she was already scared, but hearing what the two of them said made her even more frightened.
Because it was she who led the men to drag Chunyu to the side room back then, and even though she knew Chunyu had caught a cold, she didn't find anyone to take care of her or care whether she lived or died.
Who knows, she might be next?
A layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. While she was still distracted, the two palace maids ran away as fast as oil on their feet.
Wu Yao, who was inside the room, heard their conversation clearly, and she gripped the yellow talisman in her hand even tighter.
She usually just secretly practices corpse refining for fun, and the souls she collects are just wandering spirits without any independent consciousness. She has never encountered any vengeful ghosts.
She could only try the method recorded in the ancient book her master left her.
Anyway, she has the ability to protect herself. If she is lucky enough to be taken in, she can ask the Emperor of Jing Kingdom to help her find someone.
If this ghost is really too powerful for her to subdue, she can simply run away; it will just mean she has to expend some effort to find Mo Li herself.
Hmph, what crime of deceiving the emperor? Even in Langhuai Kingdom, few people know that she is the newly appointed national advisor, let alone in Jing Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away.
She changes her clothes as soon as she goes out, kills a couple of people, and changes her face again. Who would recognize her?
Finally, evening arrived, and Qin Wanyue sent someone to ask Wu Yao for dozens of yellow talismans to paste in her palace.
When Jun Shuyan arrived, he saw the yellow talismans pasted all over the place, and his brow furrowed. "What's going on? Do you think I can't even suppress that evil spirit?"
Some people in the court today said that this move was utterly absurd, and several ministers even argued with Qin Qiao about it.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Cui had a general idea of what was going on and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps it was the master who requested it. This way, we can be absolutely certain of success."
Jun Shuyan's expression improved somewhat. As soon as he entered the door, Qin Wanyue was about to run over to him when Yang Mama coughed a few times behind her, causing her to stop in her tracks.
"Your Majesty, why did it take you so long to arrive? I was so afraid."
Qin Wanyue's eyes welled up with tears, which made Jun Shuyan feel agitated.
"Now that the Lady Prime Minister has arrived, I will not remain here. I am truly exhausted today and wish to retire early."
After he finished speaking, he got up and walked out. Qin Wanyue grabbed his sleeve, wanting to make a scene, but was stopped by the Right Prime Minister's wife.
"Hurry up and see the Emperor off!" She winked at her adopted daughter, Qin Wanyue, who suppressed her dissatisfaction, let go of his hand, and followed behind Jun Shuyan.
After everyone left, Qin Wanyue returned and the Right Chancellor's wife poked her forehead, saying, "Child, didn't you realize that the Emperor was already a little displeased? If you had continued to act unreasonably then, you would have only incurred the Emperor's displeasure!"
Qin Wanyue was taken aback. Displeased? How could she not see that? What was he unhappy about? She was the one who was clearly frightened!
It's no wonder she's unhappy that such an unlucky thing happened in her palace!
Seeing her angry expression, the Right Chancellor's wife sighed silently, then pulled her down to sit and explained the intricacies of the situation.
Granny Yang listened with a furrowed brow. What kind of things were they teaching from such a disreputable place?
After they left, they still had to teach them a lesson, as the Prime Minister had specifically instructed them, for fear that this ancestor of theirs might cause trouble in front of the Emperor.
Everyone in Huaqing Palace stared wide-eyed, not daring to be distracted for a moment, afraid that something might suddenly appear beside them without them noticing.
The old eunuch whose mouth had been sewn shut had now woken up. He smashed the lock on the door and ran out of the side room, shouting, "She's here! She's here!"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Stay away from me! Get out of my way!"
He shouted and waved his arms as if trying to drive something away.
The palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside were so frightened by him that they huddled together. Just then, a gust of wind inexplicably blew in from outside.
The flowers and plants in the yard rustled and swayed wildly in the wind, and everyone looked around warily.
I thought it was just a normal breeze, but the wind just wouldn't stop and even got stronger.
The doors and windows creaked and groaned in the wind, and Qin Wanyue's heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
"Mother, did you...did you hear anything?"
She gritted her teeth and retreated towards the bed, pulling her personal maidservant to stand in front of her.
The Right Chancellor's wife took a few deep breaths and comforted her, "It's just a bit of wind blowing the window open, Your Majesty. Don't scare yourself unnecessarily."
She swallowed hard and glanced out the window. There was a powerful master guarding the outside; even if the vengeful ghost came, it wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
She saw it when the altar was set up and the ritual was performed; the setup clearly showed that the person had real skills!
Didn't they say they even brought those two old eunuchs back to life in front of the Empress?
That's absolutely right!
Wu Yao was also very nervous at this moment. The outside had been gloomy all day, and now it was even more eerie.
This eerie wind should have stopped by now, but it's blowing even harder. Could it really be as that madman said, that vengeful ghost has arrived?!
"Master! What are you standing there for? What are you doing? Perform a ritual to subdue her!"
The personal maid's voice came from inside the hall; she was trembling uncontrollably.
It must be Chunyu! Chunyu has come to take revenge on her!
The personal nanny couldn't calm down at all, thinking of Chunyu being thrown into a mass grave and dying with her eyes wide open. Seeing that there was no movement outside, she urged her again.
"You audacious evil spirit, why don't you show yourself?! Don't force me to beat you to a pulp!"
