My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

While Cheng Yayun was silently watching her daughter, Emperor Jingming went out and woke up the secret guards hiding in the yard.

He ordered with a dark face: "Go to Ye Mansion immediately and bring Ye Shengxin to me!"

The secret guards did not dare to delay and left in a few leaps.

Emperor Jingming woke up a few more people and told them to guard outside the courtyard before returning to his room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his own silly prince standing aside and looking at the marquis's wife cautiously, and he immediately became angry.

A slap landed on the back of his head.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a ghost before?"

The prince thought about how he fainted immediately after making a bold statement, so he shrank his neck and answered honestly and aggrievedly:

"I have definitely never seen it before!"

Emperor Jingming: "..."

Emperor Jingming met Cheng Yayun's gaze, unable to bear her eyes that were too dark, as if they belonged to a ghost, and turned his head away and coughed lightly.

"Does Madam Hou still remember me?"

Cheng Yayun nodded and said calmly, "I still remember."

She looked around and asked, "Why did your majesty appear in the Pingqing Marquis's mansion?"

After a pause, she asked again: "What's going on between the Marquis and my daughter?"

Cheng Yayun still remembered that Emperor Jingming had protected Rong Ping just now, so she did not doubt what Emperor Jingming had done to her husband and daughter.

I knew that the Marquis's wife would ask this. Emperor Jingming sighed with a complicated expression.

Then he took the rag in the box.

Instead of answering, he asked, "Does Madam Hou still remember your sister?"

Although she didn't understand why the emperor mentioned Yazhi, Cheng Yayun still replied, "Of course I remember."

She said gently, "Yazhi married King Ling of Chu. She doesn't have her parents-in-law to control her. After so many years, she, as a princess, should have a son and a daughter."

"Life should be very good."

When she was alive, Cheng Yazhi often gave her a bad look, but as the eldest daughter of the family, she was inevitably spoiled a little.

As her elder sister, she had also died once. Now that she was back, there was really no need to argue with her about the trivialities of the past.

"Your Majesty, you mentioned Yazhi at this time, but what happened to her?"

She asked again after she finished speaking, with a puzzled expression.

Emperor Jingming pushed the box in front of Cheng Yayun.

"Madam Hou may not believe it, but this rag is your sister. She died on the cliff outside the city yesterday."

The prince added: "He was struck to death by lightning."

Lightning strikes?

Cheng Yayun looked at Cheng Yazhi who was silent and didn't dare to say anything. She felt that it was ridiculous, but when she thought about herself and Cheng Yazhi's previous temper...

And she had just asked about Rong Ping and her daughter, but the emperor mentioned her sister...

She took a breath and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what did Cheng Yazhi do to the Marquis and my daughter?"

As she spoke, the temperature in the room dropped again.

Emperor Jingming looked at the crown prince, and the crown prince understood.

She stepped forward and told Cheng Yazhi everything he had done to the Pingqing Marquis' Mansion, including everything he had done to her.

The further he walked, the colder the temperature in the room became.

By the time he explained the whole story, the whole room was covered with a layer of frost.

Cheng Yayun's dark pupils almost filled her entire eye sockets. She controlled the rag to float up, waved her hand, and grabbed Cheng Yazhi's ghost out of it.

Before she could scream, his five fingers tightly grasped her neck.

"Cheng Yazhi, what grudge do I have against you that would allow you to harm me and bring the Pingqing Marquis Mansion to this point!" Cheng Yayun's hair was flying behind her head, and she was almost mad with rage.

Cheng Yazhi struggled in mid-air, unable to speak. Her face was pinched blue and pale, and her entire soul seemed to be shattered.

The prince's heart was in turmoil when he saw this scene, and his face turned pale, but he did not forget to speak hastily:

"Madam Hou, God has already chosen the ending for Cheng Yazhi. If you kill her now, how can she repay you for the suffering you have endured over the years?"

The prince's words brought Cheng Yayun back to her senses. She blinked and loosened her five fingers slightly.

Yes, death would be a relief for her. She should continue to be a stinky rag that is trampled on by others.

but--

Cheng Yazhi's eyes were gloomy. She looked at the room which was frosted again. Not wanting to affect her husband and daughter, she picked up Cheng Yazhi and flew out.

Seeing this, Emperor Jingming and the Crown Prince followed closely behind.

So the two of them saw Cheng Yayun, who was kind to others when he was alive, in the garden, and now he was violently beating Cheng Yazhi in the void.

"Sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me go." Cheng Yazhi burst into tears and begged again.

"Let you go? Then why didn't you let my Anle go back then?"

Her voice was almost tearful: "I want you to pay back all the injuries and sufferings she has suffered because of you over the years!"

As he said this, he gathered the power of a ghost and threw a heavy punch towards Cheng Yazhi's face!

For a moment, cries of pain in various tones rang out in the garden of the marquis's mansion.

The housekeeper and the maids who were attracted by the sound changed their expressions when they saw this outrageous scene that shattered their worldview.

They stretched out their trembling fingers and just as they shouted "Ghost!", they fainted on the ground one after another.

The few who were not dizzy ran in panic in all directions.

One of them happened to meet Ye Shengxin who was sneaked into the mansion.

As soon as she landed, before she had time to calm down the impact of the second aerial trapeze, the word "ghost" rushed into her ears.

Still rushing in continuously.

The maid's panic infected her, and she looked around blankly, "Ghost?"

"Where is the ghost?"

She is most afraid of this kind of thing, don't scare her!

[System, please check it quickly. Is there really a ghost in this place? I'm scared!]

Ye Shengxin grabbed the secret guard's arm, no longer caring whether he was a friend or an enemy. He just wanted help with a sad face.

[Host, I don't have this ability. If you really can't do it, just hold on to the people around you. ]

The system is also helpless.

What’s even more helpless is that I haven’t recovered any memory so far.

On the other side, Emperor Jingming knew through his mind that Ye Shengxin had arrived. His surprise subsided and his face darkened.

Although the appearance of Madam Hou was a good thing, it caused such great psychological harm to him, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, that it almost brought him shame.

He would not be able to vent his anger if he did not give such a minister a severe punishment.

Are you afraid of ghosts?

He looked at Cheng Yayun who was still beating Cheng Yazhi, and said:

"Madam Hou, there is a guest in the Hou Mansion late at night. Do you want to see him?"

He deliberately did not reveal Ye Shengxin's identity as his benefactor.

Cheng Yayun stopped and slowly fell to the ground, the anger on her snow-white face fading a little.

She nodded, her eyes narrowed slightly: "Since you came here so late at night, of course I have to see you."

No matter what his purpose is!

After saying that, she threw Cheng Yazhi back into the rag and went towards Ye Shengxin.

In the front yard, the secret guard completed his mission and flew away, leaving Ye Shengxin alone standing there.

She hugged herself and trembled, not knowing where she was. In addition, there were ghosts here, and the fear in her heart was magnified infinitely.

Therefore, she felt it the moment the temperature around her dropped suddenly.

The thing behind her that was gradually approaching her but had no shadow made her hair stand on end.

"You..." Cheng Yayun just opened her mouth.

Ye Xingxin, who was shivering all over, was so frightened that he turned his head away unreasonably.

She looked at Cheng Yayun, who was wearing white clothes, hanging in the air, her figure translucent like a ghost.

All the emotions stuck in my throat could no longer be contained and were released immediately.

"There's a ghost! Help!"

Under the night sky with only a few stars hanging in the sky, Ye Shengxin ran desperately towards the gate of the mansion with a pale face!
