The heroine takes revenge on me, I am a sickly girl, I conquer the country and enjoy happiness

"Do you know where we are?"

Jiang Shuo returned to the carriage and asked seriously.

Jiang Wen said in surprise:

"Where? There are few people along the way, it's desolate and dilapidated. If I hadn't been sure that I was not out of the city, I would have thought I was outside the city."

Jiang Shuo emphasized in a deep voice: "Yongxingfang!"

Jiang Wen shook his head. "I only know Yongchangfang. The princes and princesses who left the palace to build their own residences are mainly distributed in Yongchangfang."

Jiang Shuo explained the origin of Yongxingfang.

"Yongxingfang is next to Yongchangfang. It has another name you should know, Sixteen Kings' Residences."

During the time of the previous emperor, there were sixteen princes' residences here, including the Crown Prince's Palace. Eleven of them were descendants of the previous emperor, and the rest were members of the royal family.

In addition to the prince's palace, there are also some county prince's palaces.

Not to mention the tragic situation during the fight for the throne, Jiang Shuo was still young at the time and didn't know much about it.

What he knew was that before the current emperor came to power, he massacred all members of the royal family in Yongxingfang and killed everyone in the government offices.

The royal bloodline has been cut off, leaving only His Majesty himself and the young Regent Xiao Churan.

Since then, people have been terrified of Yongxingfang and dare not walk there for fear of being haunted by wronged spirits. As a result, the place has been completely abandoned.

Jiang Shuo couldn't understand. Given how much she doted on Sister Shuang, why would Mrs. Lu bring her to such an unlucky place on Sister Shuang's birthday?

Oh no, Sister Shuang, Mrs. Lu, and Miss Lu were kidnapped!

"Sister Shuang might be in danger! Jiang Wen, quickly tell me what to do next. I'll go check the situation first, and you ride to the Lu Mansion to inform Uncle Lu!"

"Walk to the end and you'll see a camphor tree as thick as a person hugging it. Take the road on the left, go right after two blocks, go through the door and walk along the bluestone road..."

"Okay, let's go!"

"Sir, I am worried about you."

"Go! Time is life!"

……

The wind was howling, and the biting cold kept corroding people's bodies. Mrs. Lu was sitting in the sheltered pavilion shivering, wrapped in a cloak.

A group of crows flew out from somewhere, landed on the nearby dead branches, and cried loudly.

The dark red eyeballs moved mechanically, and a group of black beasts stared at the only two living creatures around, making Mrs. Lu and her wet nurse shudder.

Zhu Guixing plucked up his courage and banged on the pillar with his cane, shouting to drive them away.

After I broke out in a cold sweat, they flew away.

"Ma'am, don't be afraid. I have already driven away those beasts."

Zhu Guiying patted Mrs. Lu on the back and comforted her in a soft voice. Mrs. Lu looked up at her.

"Mammy, I want to go see what's going on."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

The two of them supported each other as they walked towards the altar. The creepy atmosphere made them nervous, and even stepping on a dead branch would scare them.

"Ma'am, do you smell anything?"

Zhu Guiying looked around vigilantly and asked worriedly, "I wonder if my nose has stopped working because I'm old, but I always smell the odor of rotting blood."

After her reminder, Mrs. Lu also realized it. She looked around frequently and her panic became more and more intense.

"Master, there is nothing wrong with him, right? I asked many people to check his identity! The master also said there is no problem, right?"

As if to convince herself, Mrs. Lu held onto Nanny Zhu's old hand tightly.

Zhu Guiying suppressed her trepidation and nodded:

"Madam, don't scare yourself. You don't trust other people, but can you trust the master? The master is so powerful, if he says there is no problem, then there must be no problem!"

Her toes suddenly hit an obstacle and Mrs. Lu staggered. After she stood firm, she looked down and saw a white human finger standing upright in the middle of the road.

"what!!!"

Mrs. Lu screamed and stepped back, her body weightless and falling to the ground. Her flailing hands grabbed the rotting flesh under the thick dead leaves.

"Ah! There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

Her heart was beating violently, bringing her dizziness. Before she fainted from fright, she thought of her daughter who was blocked under the altar.

"Shuang'er, my Shuang'er!"

Mrs. Lu held her breath and stumbled towards the statue. Her mind was so numb that she could not pay attention to anything except Lu Ningshuang.

"Shuang'er, Shuang'er, are you in there? Mother will rescue you, mother will rescue you right away!"

She banged against the stone door desperately, her hair was disheveled, her pearl hairpins fell to the ground, and her tears washed away her delicate makeup.

"Madam, madam, please don't do this, you are injured!"

Nanny Zhu chased after them tremblingly. She was old, and the rotting bones under the fallen leaves frightened her so much that she almost couldn't breathe.

"Mammy, help me open the door quickly. I want to rescue Shuang'er! Shuang'er, Shuang'er, wait for mother..."

Mrs. Lu broke one shoulder and her face twisted in pain, then she switched sides and continued to hit the other side.

Her smooth fingertips scratched the stone wall until it was bloody, but she seemed not to feel the pain and kept hitting the stone door tirelessly.

Jiang Shuo, who had taken the wrong path several times, rushed over following the sound. He saw Madam Lu, who was usually noble and arrogant among the mistresses, banging stones like a madman. He thought he was hallucinating.

Obviously, it's not an illusion.

He quickly ran over to protect his future mother-in-law from doing anything stupid, and asked:

"Aunt, what happened? Where is Sister Shuang?"

"Shuang'er, Shuang'er..."

Madam Lu moved her lips, pointed at the tightly closed statue, and said anxiously and panickedly:

"Shuang'er is inside!"

"what?!"

Jiang Shuo pulled Madam Lu and Nanny Zhu aside and looked at the dark stone statue carefully, feeling inexplicably creepy.

It’s not that the statue is ugly. On the contrary, it is carved so realistically that it looks like a living person.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it's staring straight at you.

He looked again at the red ropes intertwined and entangled above his head to form a giant net, dividing the gloomy sky into countless pieces. The golden bells engraved with strange patterns made "clang clang clang" sounds from time to time.

"Are you sure Sister Shuang is really in there?"

Regardless of what Mrs. Lu brought Sister Shuang here for, the most important thing is to determine her whereabouts.

But the stone density of the statue was very high, and he could not break it with his strength alone. Even if he broke it forcibly, Sister Frost would definitely be hurt in that small space.

"Go down the steps at the door, there is a room of about 20 square meters, Shuang'er is inside!

Prince Jiang, I beg you, you must rescue Shuang'er!"

Mrs. Lu held Jiang Shuo's arm tightly, treating him as her only lifeline.

"Don't panic, Auntie. I'll look for any traps first. I've asked Jiang Wen to find Uncle. I'm sure help will be here soon."

After saying that, Jiang Shuo searched carefully around the altar and finally found that the mechanism for opening the door was broken. The only way was to break the door in by force.

Jiang Wen, ah Jiang Wen, you'd better run faster!
