The carriage hurriedly drove into Pan's house. Pan Yu got off the car first, reached out to pick up Princess Roujia, and led her to the inner courtyard.

Princess Roujia was silent along the way, looking very worried, still holding the bright hydrangea in her arms.

Xu Xian heard the noise and walked out of the room, surprised: "Why are you back so early? Hey, what happened to Roujia?"

Although Pan Yu had heard some rumors, she was a little confused, "It was authorized by the Queen." Looking at the frowning Princess Roujia next to her, she sighed and said, "I asked her, but she refused to tell. Still.

Come and tell her." After that, he went back to the house alone.

Xu Xian knelt down and said with a smile: "What happened to make Xiaoroujia so worried?"

Princess Roujia raised her head and looked at him with hazy tearful eyes, "It's Yunlu, I saw Yunlu"

Xu Xian asked: "Yunlu? Who is that?"

Princess Roujia bit her lip and shook her head. Her eyes fell, but she refused to speak.

Xu Xian stood up and carried her to the swing in the yard. He comforted her in a low voice before asking questions.

Naturally, Roujia couldn't bear such questioning and couldn't help but tell the story of that day.

Xu Xian just learned that Yunlu was a princess, the biological daughter of Concubine Yi. Later, Concubine Yi was thrown into the cold palace, but her royal bloodline was not affected. Yunlu begged Roujia to help her mother speak well in front of the Queen.

, let Concubine Yi come out.

But at that time, Roujia was so afraid of the Empress that she could not speak in front of her. She tried several times but failed.

Until one day, Concubine Yi committed suicide in the cold palace, and Yunlu completely disappeared from Roujia's sight and never appeared again until tonight.

"Yunlu is dead. I was the one who killed her. If I had... if I..." Princess Roujia tightly grasped Xu Xian's clothes with both hands. Her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she was so excited that she couldn't control herself.

Xu Xian was also startled. This was the first time he saw such a look on her face. He held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "It's not your fault. It's not your fault."

Children are not allowed to intervene in the fights between adults, but they often suffer from it. In that case, even if Roujia begged the Queen, the Queen would never let this enemy go.

Princess Roujia sobbed and said: "Am I...hateful?"

Xu Xian helped her wipe the tears on her cheeks, "How could it be?" He sighed and said, "You saw Yunlu again today, so to say that Yunlu became a ghost?" The underworld would be too incompetent, no matter what it is.

After death, the souls of all people should be sent to the underworld, and after being rewarded and punished according to their merits and demerits, they should be sent to reincarnation.

Princess Yunlu must be more than just a fish that slipped through the net. The magnificent royal palace hides countless evil ghosts. Without the suppression of the true dragon's energy, they are ready to take action. The queen hurriedly sent Princess Roujia out of the palace.

I'm afraid it also means blessing.

Is this a sign of chaos in the world? Xu Xian fell into deep thought. If those evil ghosts really succeeded in revenge and killed the queen, the young prince would immediately lose his assistant, and turmoil would be foreseeable.

Princess Roujia wiped away her tears with her sleeves and showed a determined expression, "I want to enter the palace and see Yunlu." Then she looked at Xu Xian with longing eyes.

Xu Xian smiled slightly, touched her head and said, "Is this your wish?"

Princess Roujia nodded.

Xu Xiandao: "That's good, but go and wash your face now."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Halfway through the night, the Queen Mother heard what Princess Roujia said and became increasingly uneasy. She was already sure that it was not a dream, but a real ghost coming for revenge. What should she do?

No matter how big the city is, facing such a monster that cannot be guessed by human power, she can't help but feel fear. The bright lights in Kunning Palace and the layers of guards around her cannot bring her the slightest safety.

feel.

The moon has set, and there is darkness between heaven and earth.

The Queen's heart skipped a beat when she heard ghostly cries coming from all directions. She hurriedly asked the maids serving beside her, "Did you hear any sounds?"

The palace maids all shook their heads, indicating that there was no sound. They wondered why the Queen was so nervous, and they couldn't help but become nervous.

The Queen didn't want to lose her manners in front of the palace maids, so she returned to the chair and sat down, but the ghost's screams became louder and louder, sometimes as if they were coming from the bottom of a person's heart.

Only a thin layer of golden dragon energy was left above the imperial court, and it was about to disintegrate under the impact of the black vicious energy. Although the Queen's eyes were invisible, she felt that her body was gradually getting colder.

In the room with closed doors and windows, a gust of wind blew from nowhere. The lamp beads immediately began to sway and became much dimmer, and the figures around them also swayed involuntarily, like ghosts.

The palace lanterns were extinguished one by one. Such a strange scene frightened the palace maids. Some hurriedly tried to light the lanterns, but they could not light them, and some screamed in panic.

"What are you panicking about?" the Queen screamed.

Her prestige was still there, and the ladies in court all knelt down one after another, covering their mouths and not daring to make a sound, and could only let the palace lanterns go out.

The empress stared with a pair of phoenix eyes, unwilling to admit defeat to the ghosts.

"Ah" the Queen Empress exclaimed, and the chair she was sitting on suddenly began to sink. The originally smooth white marble floor tiles seemed to have turned into swamp mud. She wanted to stand up, but was only attracted to the chair.

It sank downward bit by bit until she was completely submerged.

She shuddered suddenly, woke up completely, and breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a dream. When she looked around, she saw darkness.

She called out to the palace maid, but no one answered. Only her own voice echoed faintly, gradually becoming unfamiliar, making her wonder if it was her own voice.

She took a few steps forward in the dark and suddenly realized that this was not the Kunning Palace, but the Cold Palace.

"Yifei, is that you? Did you kidnap me and want my life?" The Queen calmed down and asked loudly.

But there was still no answer. The Queen sneered and said: "It turns out that you are nothing more than a ghost."

As if provoked by her ridicule, a light suddenly lit up in a corner of the hall, but a white figure appeared in the light, hanging on the beam by a white silk ribbon, floating in the air.

The Queen's heart tightened. Concubine Yi had committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam in the cold palace. Seeing such a scene with her own eyes, she couldn't help but take a step back and said without any sign of weakness, "Have you finally come out? Look at you now.

With such a ghostly appearance, how dare you come out to meet people?"

The white silk suddenly broke, and the white figure fell down, but stood up crookedly and walked towards the Queen. The Queen finally saw the face of the female ghost clearly, with her blood-red tongue sticking out and her eyeballs covered with bloodshot eyes.

Protruding and full of resentment.

But even if she was distorted to this point, she still remembered that this face belonged to the originally beautiful Concubine Yi, and she couldn't help but step back step by step.

Concubine Yi said in a hoarse voice: "Vicious woman, I was only pampered a little, but you framed me and put me in the cold palace, and even let the servants humiliate me in every possible way. I hate it so much."

The Queen Mother said: "If you didn't want to seize the throne of the Queen and slander His Majesty, how could I have made such a move? Is it your fault to blame?" Her voice was trembling, but she was still firm.

The undercurrent in the palace is even more dangerous than in the court. If you are not careful, it will be life and death. There is no right and wrong. For the position of the empress of the palace, no one will do anything. In order to frame other concubines, Wu Zetian even strangled them with her own hands.

His own infant daughter.

Although the empress could not do this yet, she was merciless to any enemy. She not only trapped Concubine Yi in the cold palace, but also instructed the maids to press her step by step until she was forced to the

She committed suicide. But the Empress did not regret it, because if she were in a different place, Concubine Yi would definitely eradicate her.

Yifei roared angrily, not like a human voice, "Today I will let you taste the pain of being bitten by a hundred ghosts."

The Queen retreated to the pillars of the palace, and could not retreat any further. Suddenly there were many strange sounds in the darkness, and she vaguely saw countless black ghosts coming towards her like a tide. That was for hundreds of years,

The concubines who died in vain in the cold palace turned into fierce ghosts. Most of them had their minds and even their appearance distorted by resentment. Only the resentment was getting heavier and heavier, and now they finally found a place to vent.

The Queen's face also showed a look of horror, and she could no longer hide the fear in her heart.

In the dark corner of the hall, Princess Yunlu covered her ears, closed her eyes tightly, and shivered.

Concubine Yi said sternly: "Begging for mercy, kneel down and beg me, maybe I will be soft-hearted and let you go."

The Empress gritted her teeth and said, "It is wishful thinking to want me to beg for mercy from you, an ugly bitch." She knew very well that Concubine Yi would never let her go, and her weak begging would only bring more pleasure to the enemy.

.

Concubine Yi roared and rushed forward, her hands like chicken claws trying to strangle the Queen's neck tightly. The ghosts swarmed up and were about to annihilate the Queen.

The queen closed her eyes.

A piece of green light shone into the hall, and suddenly a strong wind blew up in the hall, blowing away the ghosts.

The queen opened her eyes and saw a man in green robe appearing in the hall, blocking the crowd of ghosts. He held a peach wood sword in his left hand and an iron fan in his right hand. Several green will-o'-the-wisps were wrapped around him.

.

The Queen Mother said in surprise: "You...you are?"

"Your Majesty has appointed Zhong Kui as the 'God of Blessing and Controlling the House'. He learned that the ghosts and monsters in the palace were causing trouble, so he came to help to fulfill the promise of that day. The rescue was late, but I still hope to atone for my sins." Zhong Kui turned around and opened the iron fan with a swipe.

Covering his face, only a pair of bright eyes were exposed.

The Queen said: "You are Zhong Kui."
