The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Shufeng looked at Zhiyu with complicated eyes and blurted out what was in his mind.

"Are you sure you want me to take you there? You shouted so loudly just now, if there really were bad guys, they would definitely be scared away by you."

Zhiyu: “…”

She had never seen anyone who was so speechless.

Never mind, isn't this a kind of humor?

Zhiyu took a deep breath and had to explain patiently.

"They all said that there has been a vengeful ghost haunting the palace recently. I'm not afraid of people, but this vengeful ghost..."

Shuo Feng smiled heartily and said nonchalantly: "Well, where does the talk of ghosts and gods come from? They are all lies. Don't worry, there are no ghosts in this world."

Zhiyu had nothing to say.

"excuse me."

Zhi Yuqi gritted his teeth and turned away.

When Shufeng saw that the man was angry, he quickly caught up with him.

"Zhiyu, don't misunderstand me, I'll send you off..."

"Don't bother me, Lord Shufeng. I have legs."

The two walked one after the other through the corridor and the avenue, and turned into a quiet and secluded path.

Suddenly a cold wind blew, and people got goose bumps all over their bodies.

Zhiyu was wearing thin clothes and couldn't help rubbing her arms.

Shufeng then remembered what Jifeng had told him about how to be considerate to women, and immediately took off his coat and prepared to put it on Zhiyu.

Zhiyu saw this and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Since you are not too stupid, I won't be angry...

However, before the cloak fell on his shoulders, Shuofeng suddenly spun around and threw the cloak out, accompanied by a cold shout.

"who?!"

A figure with long white hair suddenly flashed in the direction where the cloak flew.

Zhiyu was startled. Shuofeng said quickly, "You are right. There really is a ghost. I will go and take a look. You find a place to hide first."

"You have to be careful!"

Before Zhiyu finished speaking, Shufeng had already flown away.

Zhiyu thought about it, turned around and wanted to call someone.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, a huge black object covered her. Before she could struggle, she smelled a pungent smell and then lost consciousness.

Shufeng chased for a long time, but the white figure disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth.

I don't know when the wind stopped, and the surroundings were silent, with a hint of weirdness.

The cry of a crow sounded in the tree behind him, bringing Shufeng back to his senses.

No! Zhiyu!

Shuofeng returned to the place where he and Zhiyu had separated as quickly as possible, but only found her handkerchief on the ground, but no one knew where she had gone.

There were obvious traces of dragging on the ground, and Shufeng panicked.

Not long after lying down on the bed, Shen Qingyan fell asleep.

As her belly grew bigger, her sleep quality became worse and worse, and she often suffered from back pain and sleep difficulties. Gu Beihuai did not dare to cross the line again, and felt particularly distressed for her pain of pregnancy.

Shen Qingyan was sleeping soundly. The woman's delicate profile seemed like the most delicate sculpture bestowed by God. Her soft outline looked even more gentle under the interweaving of light and shadow. Her nose was straight and her eyelashes fluttered like a small feather fan.

The corners of her lips were slightly raised in her sleep, as if she was dreaming of something happy. Her skin was as white as snow, with a faint pink, and she looked delicate and charming.

Gu Beihuai looked at Shen Qingyan's sleeping face greedily and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Unfortunately, someone wants to destroy this beautiful, warm and peaceful scene.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao, something happened in the Qinnu Palace."

It was Zhiqing's anxious voice.

The Qinnu Palace is where the first-class palace maids live.

Su Peichang wanted to cover her mouth. He had already said that he would handle such a small matter, but Zhiqing insisted on reporting it.

In fact, Zhiqing did not intend to disturb Gu Beihuai and Shen Qingyan's sleep, but it was related to Zhiyu.

Zhiyu and several other palace maids had met with accidents. Their bodies were all found, and they all looked horrible. Only Zhiyu's body was not found.

As sisters for many years, Zhiqing was very worried that Zhiyu would suffer the same fate as them. And according to Shufeng, Zhiyu disappeared in the blink of an eye. The other party used a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. If they found her in time, they would definitely be able to rescue Zhiyu.

However, the Imperial Guards must be ordered by Gu Beihuai himself before they can act. Although the Imperial Guards have done something about this, they are by no means as efficient as the Imperial Guards.

When Gu Beihuai heard the noise, he immediately checked on Shen Qingyan's condition.

Fortunately, he didn’t wake up.

Then he slowly stood up and walked to the outer hall, saying only one word in a cold voice.

"roll."

Su Peichang was afraid that the emperor would be furious, so he immediately pulled Zhiqing out.

"Go quickly! If you disturb the Emperor and Empress again, you will be punished by death."

Zhiqing broke free from his hand, turned around, and knelt down with a plop, her voice even louder than before.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you to save Zhiyu. Several palace maids have died in the Qinnu Palace. There are rumors of ghosts. Zhiyu has also been captured and is in imminent danger!"

Su Peichang gasped, knowing that he couldn't stop Zhiqing. Even if Zhiqing didn't die, she would be severely punished.

Gu Beihuai's expression suddenly turned cold, and before he could say anything, Shen Qingyan had already woken up.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

She sat up sleepily, rubbing her eyes wearily.

She seemed to hear Zhiqing's anxious voice...

The coldness around Gu Beihuai disappeared in an instant, and he said softly: "It's okay, I'll take care of it, you can sleep peacefully."

How could Shen Qingyan sleep? She shook her head and said, "If the emperor doesn't sleep, then neither will I."

Zhiqing's voice sounded again.

"My queen, please save Zhiyu!"

Now Shen Qingyan heard it clearly and quickly let someone in.

Zhiqing wiped away her tears and quickly explained what had happened.

Shen Qingyan had heard about the ghost story a few days ago, but because it did not cause much stir in the palace, it was treated as a rumor and no one paid any attention to it.

I didn’t expect something to happen today!

Shen Qingyan's sleepiness disappeared completely, and she anxiously asked Gu Beihuai to let the imperial guards find Zhiyu's whereabouts and find out the truth.

"Your Majesty, there are no ghosts in the world, only people who pretend to be ghosts. I think there must be something fishy about this matter, and we must not take it lightly."

Gu Beihuai also knew this truth. Such a thing actually happened in the imperial palace, under the feet of the emperor. It could only be said that the person behind it was extremely bold and was challenging his authority as emperor openly and secretly.

"Don't worry, Yan'er. I will immediately take people to catch the person who is pretending to be a ghost."

He then left a team of guards to protect her safety and rushed to the Qinnu Palace.

Not only did such a thing happen, but it also disturbed his and Shen Qingyan's sweet dreams. Those patrolling royal guards must also be severely punished.

After Gu Beihuai led his men away, Zhiqing immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude and wanted to follow.

But he was called back by Shen Qingyan.

"I know you are worried about Zhiyu. I am worried too. You have already angered the emperor. You cannot go there again."

Zhiqing knew that Shen Qingyan was doing this for her own good. Her eyes turned red again and she was about to kneel down again.

"Thank you, Madam, for your consideration..."

"Stand up, don't kneel so easily, and don't be so reckless in the future. I can protect you once, but I can't protect you a second time."
