Chapter 686 Ghost, There Really Is a Ghost, It’s on the Crown Prince’s Head
When the Crown Princess arrived, there was no one in Yuehai Palace.
After asking, I found out that because Princess Qinyang had been unwell these past two days, Princess Yuehai stayed with Princess Qinyang.
"Is the princess in serious trouble?" the princess asked.
The palace man looked troubled, as if it was difficult to speak.
The Crown Princess frowned: "Could it be that the princess has some serious illness?"
The palace man hesitated for a moment and said honestly: "The princess is not sick, but she is frightened. A few days ago, a murder case occurred in the princess's palace. It just so happened that the princess was able to see the real person. Now, I’m so scared that I haven’t recovered from it.”
"Homicide?"
The Crown Princess thought for a while and couldn't help but think of the rumors that the palace was haunted in recent days. She knew that many palace maids had died in the palace, and it seemed that they were all people who had served Princess Yuping.
This matter was not only spread in the harem, but also spread to the previous dynasty. The emperor mentioned it in front of all the civil and military officials.
But the Crown Princess didn't expect that something like this would happen in Princess Qinyang's palace.
Princess Yuehai has had a close relationship with several princesses since she entered the palace, especially the princesses from her mother's clan, who are like sisters to Yuehai. Princess Qinyang is also one of them. It was normal for Yue Hai to visit her after the matter was over.
Thinking of what happened at the Queen's place, although the Crown Princess was a little wary of the place where people had died, she still gritted her teeth and said: "Since Princess Qinyang is unwell, I should also go and have a look. Please lead the way."
When the Crown Princess said this, the old nanny in front of her refused to agree: "My Lady, you have not been feeling well these past two days. If not, you are still..."
"Mommy, there's no need to say anything. Now that we know everything, there's no reason to leave without looking for anyone. Let's lead the way."
The Crown Princess insisted on going her own way, so the accompanying maids and maids had no choice but to work up their spirits and follow closely.
The person leading the way was someone from Princess Yuehai's palace. They walked slowly for a long time before they arrived at Princess Qinyang's place.
Because concubines of second rank and below were not allowed to walk in sedan chairs in the harem, although the crown prince was the prince's main palace, she had a small status, so she had to walk all the way.
With her big belly and the weather so cold, the Crown Princess broke out in a thin sweat, and the accompanying maid was even more frightened.
But the Crown Princess only said it was okay, with a firm tone, as if she was a different person, no longer as squeamish as before, which made everyone around her look at each other.
But only the Crown Princess knew that since she had entered the palace, her every move in the palace would naturally fall into the eyes of the Queen.
Although I am the Queen's biological niece, she is only a niece after all. There is always a layer between me. If I am more obedient and more likeable to the Queen, then when my child is born in the future, I will definitely have an extra layer of protection.
The Crown Princess had her own agenda, so no matter how hard she worked, she still didn't say she was tired.
It wasn't until An Ran arrived at Princess Qinyang and sat down that the Crown Princess really didn't want to get up anymore.
After receiving the notice, Princess Yuehai glanced at Princess Qinyang who was still huddled on the couch with her eyes closed but her brows furrowed. She touched her head and said, "Princess, the Crown Princess is here to see you." is you."
Princess Qinyang was not asleep, so she opened her eyes. The black blue under her eyes was very obvious, with a puzzled expression on her face, and she asked lifelessly: "Crown Princess?"
Princess Yuehai said: "I'm here to visit you, I'll go out to greet you."
Saying that, Yuehai was about to get up and leave, but Princess Qinyang was afraid and quickly held her hand and held her hand tightly: "No, no, sister Yuehai, you can't leave."
Princess Qinyang has been having nightmares these past few days. As soon as she closes her eyes, she can think of the palace maid she saw that day who refused to rest in peace.
Because of this, she kept her eyes open until dawn almost every night. Only during the day, when Princess Yuehai came to see her, could she take a nap in his company, but as soon as the other party left, she Will panic again.
Princess Yuehai knew about Princess Qinyang's situation, so she patted Qinyang's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't be anxious. According to the rules, I should go out to greet the empress. I will come as soon as I go. I guarantee that it will not exceed one stick of incense." Time, how are you?"
"No..." Princess Qinyang pursed her lips stubbornly, and her eyes began to turn red again.
Princess Qinyang was young, and Princess Yuehai kept giving in. Seeing this, Yuehai felt distressed, so she could only sigh, sit down and pat the princess on the back, saying: "Okay, okay, I won't leave." .”
Yuehai said, and ordered the maid next to her: "Go and ask your Majesty to come in. Just tell me that I can't get out of here. The princess is unwell and can't get out of bed. You're neglecting me."
The maid then left.
Over there, the Crown Princess was displeased when she saw that these two juniors only sent palace maids to see her. However, thinking that the Queen might have the eyes and ears around her at all times, she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction, stood up, and followed The palace man entered the bedroom.
After entering, they first exchanged greetings and said hello.
After the palace maid moved a chair for the Crown Princess to sit down, the Crown Princess looked at Princess Qinyang and said with a distressed face: "Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you so thin, but the palace servants didn't take good care of you?"
Princess Qinyang was not familiar with the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess rarely entered the palace on weekdays, and even when she did, she would stay at the Queen's place.
They, the princesses born from noble concubines, have probably never been taken seriously by the Crown Princess.
Princess Qinyang was young and didn't have much thoughts, but she was a straightforward person. The princess suddenly came to visit her. Qinyang was not grateful. Instead, she was thinking strangely. She responded perfunctorily, but her eyes were full of vigilance. She always felt that this person bother you for something.
Sure enough, after talking to Qinyang for a few words, the Crown Princess said to Princess Yuehai: "Princess, can I take a step to speak?"
Princess Yuehai was stunned for a moment. Because the Queen was kind to her, she had always respected the Crown Princess, the Queen's biological niece and daughter-in-law. She was about to agree to the offer, but she felt someone pull her wrist with a stronger force. She looked back. , As expected, she met the little face of Princess Qinyang.
Princess Yuehai sighed helplessly and said, "If you have any questions, please tell me. The princess is not an outsider."
The Crown Princess's expression changed again and again. She really didn't think she could let others know about her deceiving Princess Yuehai into marrying the useless Fifth Prince.
But looking at Princess Qinyang's dependent face, the Crown Princess didn't want to separate the two too strongly. In the end, she could only twitch her lips, hesitated, and ordered the surrounding palace people: "You guys go out first."
The palace people went out one after another.
Only Princess Yuehai, Princess Qinyang and the Crown Princess were left in the waiting room. The Crown Princess thought carefully and said: "I just came here from the Queen. The Queen has been having a bad time these days. Does the Princess know? "
Princess Qinyang has been here for the past two days. Princess Yuehai really didn't know about it, so she looked worried and asked: "What's wrong with the Queen?"
The Crown Princess sighed: "Hey, it's not the Fifth Prince's business."
Princess Yuehai was stunned and frowned: "Isn't the matter of the fifth prince already resolved?"
Yue Hai remembered that two days after the Empress’ proposal, she took people to the Lin Mansion to cancel the engagement. The Lin Mansion also acted very cooperatively, presumably because she didn’t have to marry the inhumane Fifth Prince. The government is probably eager to do so.
It only took Princess Yuehai two hours to resolve the matter of breaking off the engagement, which also included back-and-forth with everyone in the Lin family, and making fun of each other.
That day, she took the divorce letter back to the Empress for review. The Empress praised her for her ability in doing things. Why is she worried now?
The owner of Princess Yuehai is unknown. The Crown Princess was about to say something deeper, but Princess Qinyang suddenly paused, pointed at the door and shouted: "Who! Who is there!"
With this interruption, the remaining two people in the room were forced to turn their heads and look out the door.
But the door was closed, and it was clear that no one was there.
"Princess, who did you see?" Princess Yuehai asked.
Princess Qinyang didn't answer, but she threw herself into Yuehai's arms and burst into tears. While crying, she choked and said: "Ghost, it's a ghost. I saw that person, that palace maid, her face was covered with blood." , looking at me with a dead eye."
How could there be a ghost in broad daylight?
Princess Yuehai hurriedly comforted her: "Princess is wrong, there are no ghosts here, don't be afraid."
Princess Qinyang sobbed dubiously and revealed one eye, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.
Princess Yuehai said hurriedly: "Look, is there no one there?"
Princess Qinyang took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to look at the door again. It seemed that she really didn't see anything anymore. She just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she caught sight of the Crown Princess out of the corner of her eye, she let out a strange cry, "Ah," He stumbled into the back of the bed and shouted shiveringly: "Ghost, there really is a ghost. It's on the crown prince's head, sitting on her head..."
The Crown Princess shivered all over, her hair stood on end, and fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on her forehead. She stood up suddenly, but her movement was too big, knocking the chair over to the ground.
The big noise shocked the palace people outside the door, and someone immediately pushed the door open and entered.
The Crown Princess pointed at Princess Qinyang, her fingers trembling: "Princess, don't talk nonsense, where is the ghost in this clear sky? You should point out to me, where is the ghost above my head!"
The amount of information contained in these words was a bit large. The people in the palace who had just entered all looked at the crown princess's head and stood there in awe, not daring to move forward.
Princess Yuehai hugged Princess Qinyang and said to the Crown Princess: "Princess has not slept well in the past few days and is not in good spirits. Don't be angry. Qinyang must have seen it wrong. Your Majesty is so prosperous and blessed, how could she..."
"I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong, sister Yuehai, look, it's on the crown prince's head, and it's still gouging the crown prince's eyes, ah ah ah -"
Qinyang's scream was so sharp and harsh that it made everyone's hair stand on end.
The Crown Princess was particularly trembling, standing there precariously, and even really suspected that there was a ghost on her head.
The Crown Princess's old aunt hurriedly stepped forward to help her, preventing her pregnant master from falling down due to weak legs. This commotion made the bedroom a mess.
At the end, Princess Qinyang was still screaming and pointing at the Crown Princess's head from time to time. No matter how bold the Crown Princess was, she was really frightened and her lips turned pale. Finally, with the help of the maid, she came out. Entering the dormitory.
As soon as he went out, the old nanny said: "I know that this place where people have died is unlucky! Madam, let's go back quickly, and invite the Taoist priest back to the house to do some magic. This unlucky thing must never come near. Your body!"
The Crown Princess was already dying. After hearing this, she nodded hurriedly and hurriedly walked out of the palace accompanied by her servants.
When he was escaping, he still had the squeamish look that made him tired even if he took two more steps. With his vigorous steps, he left a bunch of servants behind.
As for Princess Qinyang, Princess Yuehai was also frightened.
But Yuehai didn't leave. It should be said that Princess Qinyang's current state made Yuehai really afraid to leave.
Before, the princess just suffered from insomnia and lack of energy, but now, she started to chatter. This is not a good sign.
It seems that not only the imperial doctor must be invited to diagnose and treat the disease, but also the eminent monk must be invited to perform the treatment.
Princess Yuehai was about to give the order when Princess Qinyang, who had been startled just now, suddenly calmed down and said to the palace servants in the room: "You all get out."
The palace people didn't know whether the princess was normal now, so they didn't move.
When Princess Qinyang saw this, she got angry and shouted: "Get out of here!"
Princess Yuehai frowned, then waved her hand: "You guys go out first."
The palace people then left.
After the door was closed, Princess Qinyang changed her nervous look and turned to look at Princess Yuehai: "Sister, you know, I just saved my sister's life."
Princess Yuehai was stunned, stretched out her hand to touch Qinyang's forehead, and said earnestly: "Princess, there are really no ghosts here. If you are really so afraid, I will report it to the Queen, and I will go to the Imperial Temple in person to help you." Can you invite a master to come over?"
"That's not it." Princess Qinyang frowned, and after confirming that the wall had no ears, she said, "It's the Crown Princess."
Princess Yuehai didn’t understand.
Princess Qinyang said: "Last time I went to my mother's palace to pay my respects, I heard with my own ears the Crown Princess chatting with Concubine Zhou. She said that the Queen knew about the identity of the Fifth Prince and did not want to harm the Lin family, so she withdrew the Lin family's relatives. However, there is someone more interested in me. I was half-listening when my mother-in-law noticed me and stopped talking. But just now the Crown Princess came, and the way she was insinuating was clearly trying to get her idea, sister."
Princess Yuehai was a little confused: "You...you mean..."
"Sister Yuehai, I didn't see a ghost, but I saw the Crown Princess's face that was comparable to that of a demon. Think about it carefully, has the Queen ever talked to you about the Fifth Prince?"
Princess Yuehai opened her mouth nervously, and after a while she said: "My queen asked me to withdraw from the Lin family's marriage."
Princess Qinyang frowned: "Why are you asked to retreat? What does this matter have to do with you?"
Princess Yuehai's voice was a little hoarse: "My Majesty asked me to go... as the fiancée of the Fifth Prince."
Princess Qinyang's expression was shocked: "You... are you really... obedient and did as I was told?"
Princess Yuehai didn't speak, but her expression was quite complicated.
Although Princess Qinyang knew that there were some words that were difficult to say, she still said it anyway: "It seems that the Queen is really eyeing you. It is in vain that you are so devoted to the Queen. The Queen is actually going to push you into the fire pit." , Brother Five Emperors...he has become like that, isn't this going to harm you for the rest of your life?"
Princess Yuehai still didn't want to believe it, and said in a panic: "But the Queen said that if I help the Queen's gang and save the face of the Fifth Prince and the Lin family, he will convince the Emperor to marry me to Brother Leng. , Your Majesty... Your Majesty knows that your heart belongs to Brother Ling!"
