The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Zhiqing naturally understood what Shen Qingyan said and kowtowed again to express her gratitude.

Shen Qingyan felt that this haunted incident was strange, so she asked her to explain the details in detail.

Zhiqing also learned the situation from Shuofeng, so she repeated it in detail.

Shen Qingyan seemed to be thinking about something, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Zhiqing, describe it again, what exactly does that female ghost look like?"

Zhiqing tried hard to recall Shufeng's words and described them carefully.

"Long black hair, white clothes, slender and tall figure..."

Shen Qingyan narrowed her beautiful eyes and vaguely thought of a possibility.

So she turned and asked Qingmei who was standing beside her.

"Qingmei, do you still remember when we used fake spring flowers to scare Shen Yunjiao?"

Qingmei's eyes lit up and she immediately understood what she meant.

"Of course I remember. Your Majesty is suspecting that the female ghost is also..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a scream from outside the door.

Qingmei and Zhiqing quickly went out to check, and saw a little palace maid huddled on the ground, pointing at the empty darkness and shouting.

"Ghost, there is a ghost!"

"Where is the ghost?"

The young palace maid pointed randomly and was so frightened that she was incoherent and could not provide any useful information.

The guards arrived quickly and patrolled the surroundings, but did not find any trace of the female ghost.

Could it really be a ghost that disappeared from the face of the earth in an instant?

Just then, there was a noise in the room.

Qingmei and Zhiqing looked at each other and immediately rushed in.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Shen Qingyan put her index finger to her lips and made a gesture to them to keep quiet.

Then he pointed out the window.

Qingmei and Zhiqing looked in the direction of her finger, and immediately gasped, almost screaming out loud, covering their mouths tightly and widening their eyes in horror.

Hua Yan protected Shen Qingyan in front of her, holding a simple slingshot in her hand and a purse full of small stones next to her. She stretched the slingshot, ready to shoot.

Outside the window, a white ghostly figure was floating, making a sad cry.

“Wow…I died such a miserable death…”

It was a female ghost, exactly the same one that Zhiqing described.

The difference is that this time they saw the front of the female ghost.

The long black hair covered the face, but could not hide the long, bleeding tongue.

The white clothes fluttered in the wind, and the feet seemed to be suspended in the air, floating here and there without any foothold.

Shen Qingyan and Qingmei looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

It seems that they guessed right. This is not a female ghost at all, but just like the fake spring flower they made to scare Shen Yunjiao, it is most likely a kite!

Qingmei lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "My Lady, what should we do next?"

Shen Qingyan had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Don't panic. Hua Yan Zhiqing and I will hold it here. You go and notify the guards to find the string of the kite and follow it to find the person."

Qingmei's eyes sparkled with admiration, "Your Majesty is smart."

Then he quickly went to notify the Guards.

After Qingmei left, Shen Qingyan hinted at Zhiqing and Hua Yan.

"We can't just sit there and do nothing, shout a few times."

Zhiqing was a little scared at first, and Hua Yan wanted to use a slingshot to shoot the female ghost down, but after understanding Shen Qingyan's plan, he immediately shouted in cooperation.

"Oh, there's a ghost!"

"Oh my god, isn't this too scary?"

"My queen, are you okay? I'm here to protect you!"

"Help me..."

Logically speaking, the guards would definitely rush in as soon as they shouted, but Qingmei had already warned them after she went out, so half of the guards quietly went to look for the string of the female ghost kite, while the other half pretended to patrol.

After shouting for a while, he finally captured the female ghost.

It looked more "excited", floating more frequently than before, and whimpering more vigorously.

Shen Qingyan was a little confused. If it was really a female ghost kite, it shouldn't be able to make any sound. So where did this sound come from?

Anyway, it’s definitely not a real-life kite.

She instructed Zhiqing, "Have the guards search the area underground or above ground to see if there are any suspicious places where people can hide."

She guessed that the person who made the sound must be nearby.

"Yes."

The ghost-catching plan was thus launched, and the troops were divided into three groups. One group was Shen Qingyan and her group, who were guarding the room and screaming from time to time.

One group is the Guards chasing the kite string, and the other group is the Guards looking for someone.

At the same time, in the Palace of Diligent Women.

All the palace servants knelt in the courtyard trembling with fear. In front of them were the bodies of four palace maids.

The death was indeed horrific and unbearable to watch.

Some were missing limbs, some were headless, and some were disemboweled with no internal organs left.

Even the coroner found it difficult to bring himself to do it.

The guards had surrounded the entire Qinnu Palace and searched it three times inside and out. They actually found voodoo dolls of different shapes under the pillows of the four dead palace maids, each with their name embroidered on them.

One was also found under Zhiyu's pillow. The difference was that Shen Qingyan's name was embroidered on her voodoo doll!

Gu Beihuai's face changed immediately. Not only did he order people to burn the voodoo doll, he also burned the bedding and clothes of the palace maids.

Although Gu Beihuai did not believe in these things, since ancient times, practicing witchcraft in the palace has been a capital crime.

But why target these palace maids?

Coincidentally, after investigation, it was found that Zhiyu had had an argument with these four palace maids, and Shen Qingyan's name was embroidered on her voodoo doll. All the evidence proved that she wanted to harm people.

But Gu Beihuai always felt that something was fishy, ​​and the most urgent task was to find Zhiyu as soon as possible.

If her body was found, there would be no evidence to prove anything, and even the incident with the female ghost was done by Zhiyu.

Gu Beihuai's mind was in a turmoil. He handed the matter over to Pei Zheng and hurried back to Zhaohua Palace.

He was afraid that the person behind the scenes would attack Shen Qingyan.

At the same time, the secret guard sent by Shen Qingyan to find the kite string was about to succeed.

Their figures were like ghosts, quietly hiding in the darkness, following the kite string that was so thin that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

However, just when they were about to find the source, their plans were disrupted by a drooping duck voice.

"The Emperor has arrived~"

No matter where Su Peichang was, Gu Beihuai was always the main person, so naturally he had to be given enough status, so he just called him out.

At this moment, the female ghost outside Shen Qingyan's window suddenly disappeared, and the line that the guards were chasing also disappeared quickly with a whoosh.

Because it was moving so fast, they had no time to catch it.

The sad and ethereal crying sound also disappeared.

At this moment, Shen Qingyan only wanted to do one thing.

That is to block Su Peichang's hoarse voice.

After Gu Beihuai entered the room, he came to Shen Qingyan to check if she was safe. Su Peichang didn't know what had happened yet and was still talking attentively.
