The ghost wife of the paranoid prince

Chapter 67 That's a Human Skin Painting

Chang Jin was left behind by Ji Houyan just in case, when Ji Houyan entered the palace, he ordered whoever came to Shuying Garden not to let them touch Shuhan with a single finger.

The two sides refused to give in, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

The girl's heart was in her throat, she was looking forward to Ji Houyan's return soon, but it was Chu Qiuyu who appeared at the gate of Shuying Garden.

Eunuch Hua came supporting Chu Qiuyu, the old concubine Yuyan looked coldly at the door of the bedroom, and said sharply: "I see anyone who dares to stop me today, I will take it down."

Chu Qiuyu had so many guards, Chang Jin was powerless even if he wanted to, and after resisting for a while, the guards put a knife on his neck and forced him into a corner.

Soon someone rushed into the main courtyard, rudely pushed away the girl who was blocking her, and dragged Huai Shuhan's "corpse" out.

The girl didn't care about the pain and rushed forward to grab the guard's foot, and was kicked away again.

Huai Shuhan, who was still awake, was dragged out of the master bedroom. Chu Qiuyu thought he was unlucky, so he didn't even look at him: "Throw him to the mass grave."

"This king will see who dares."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Houyan appeared at the door. He hadn't changed his court clothes yet. Seeing that Huai Shuhan was being dragged at will, he rushed over and snatched someone to protect him in his arms.

His heart was tightened, and he cast a gloomy and cold glance at the guard who was dragging Huai Shuhan before, that gaze could almost kill.

"My lord." Chu Qiuyu glared angrily, and reprimanded: "Your lord, have you forgotten how you promised your mother back then?"

"This king will not bury him."

"Nonsense." Chu Qiuyu was so angry that his blood boiled: "Come here, drag the prince away, and burn that corpse for me, on the spot."

"This king will see who dares to touch him." Ji Houyan put his arms around Huai Shuhan's waist and held him in his arms, protecting his territory like a wild beast. If anyone came up, he would jump at him and bite him.

Chu Qiuyu was irritated by him: "Reverse. Yan'er, your wings are hardened, and you don't listen to what your mother said. If your mother hadn't raised you by your side, you would have left with your biological mother. After 19 years, your mother would not I beg you to be kind, and I don’t want you to destroy yourself. Look at him, look at the person in your arms, is he still human? Is he still alive? He’s dead, just a corpse.”

"He's not dead."

Chu Qiuyu laughed back angrily: "Very well, it seems that the lord wants to protect him and refuses to bury him. The lord..." Chu Qiuyu held the dignified appearance,

Said: "My lord can protect him today and tomorrow, but what about the day after tomorrow? If my lord can protect him for a while, I can't protect him forever. Could it be that my lord can still guard him every day?" Chu Qiuyu said threateningly: " In terms of leisure time, the queen mother has more time than the prince, and there will always be a day when the prince can't see him."

Ji Houyan's eyes were red and he hugged Shuhan tightly, fearing that he would be taken away: "Mother, why are you forcing me?"

"You are the one who forced the mother." Chu Qiuyu's face was cold and cold: "Yan'er, think about it for yourself, how long can you protect him?"

Chu Qiuyu was able to raise Ji Houyan and kill those concubines not because of the power of her natal family. She has means, skills and brains, otherwise she would not still sit as a princess when she was not favored. shake.

If she said that, Ji Houyan knew that she would not stop there.

"How will the queen mother let me keep him?" Ji Houyan had to give in: "Except for him, I will obey everything the queen mother tells me, as long as the queen mother doesn't send anyone to arrest him."

Chu Qiuyu couldn't tolerate him at all, but then he thought that burning this male favorite would only make the prince resent him, and create a estrangement between mother and child, so it's better to change the method.The lord is just fascinated by a male favorite today, and when there are other people around him in the future, he will take the initiative to burn the corpse.

After making such calculations, Chu Qiuyu said: "If you want to keep him, you can, but the prince has not made a concubine for a long time, so he has to give the queen an explanation."

This is to force him to establish a concubine, Ji Houyan couldn't believe it: "Why does the queen mother force me again and again?"

Chu Qiuyu said it grandly: "The queen mother will not force you, Yan'er, no matter which path you choose, you choose it yourself."

Ji Houyan looked at the person in his arms, in his arms was Huai Shuhan, who had only a ghost left, and in front of him was his family members who were staring at him.If it were someone else, Ji Houyan would have turned his back on him right now, and he would never be forced to come here, but Chu Qiuyu had the kindness of nurturing him, and even this kindness would not make him turn his back and be ruthless.

Ji Houyan's voice was hoarse, and he had to obey for the sake of Huai Shuhan: "If the queen mother has a favorite candidate, I promise to make her a concubine."

When Chu Qiuyu heard this, Yuyan calmed down a bit, showing a smile: "Okay." She took another look at Huai Shuhan in Ji Houyan's arms, and there was a murderous intent deep in her eyes, which was fleeting.

After all the guards had retreated, Ji Houyan became afraid. If he was a step late, Huai Shuhan would be exposed to the scorching sun when he was thrown into the mass grave. Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Ji Houyan's back.

He kissed Huai Shuhan's forehead and carried him back to the house.

"My lord." Chang Jin knew that he had neglected and failed to protect others, so he came to confess the crime: "This subordinate is not doing well, please punish me, my lord."

"No one can stop the old concubine from coming in person." Ji Houyan said: "Even if it is this king, we have to negotiate terms with her. Alright, you go out."

When Chang Jin heard the words, he was respectful and polite, and closed the door when he went out.

Ji Houyan skillfully cut a wound on his wrist with a dagger, dripped blood on Huai Shuhan's lips, and fed it with blood.

These days, he feeds Huai Shuhan like this every day, but Huai Shuhan will not disappear and there is no sign of waking up.Ji Houyan secretly found a lot of warlocks, but only taught him a method of nourishing ghosts with blood, but he didn't know how to wake up ghosts.

Ji Houyan was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

He pressed his forehead against Huai Shuhan's, and only the coolness of his skin could ease the panic in his heart.

"In the court today, several officials who have grievances with me jointly impeached me for being arbitrary, arbitrary, and arrogant. They are trying to take advantage of the recent rumors in the capital to reduce my power. Hmph, these people were recruited by Ji Ruiyu."

Ji Houyan had a hint of sarcasm, but at the end seeing that Huai Shuhan ignored him, he sighed with a wry smile: "I forgot, you don't like these things, you don't even know how to gloat when you hear these things, you just ignore me. "

Ji Houyan rubbed against his cheek, and kissed his earlobe, which seemed to be rubbing his ears together.

Huai Shuhan's body was very cold, and the coolness pierced his bones.He closed his eyes and lay quietly on the bed, not like a dead person, but just asleep.

Ji Houyan always had an illusion that the next moment Huai Shuhan woke up and saw him, he would stare at him with disgust on his brows.

But now Huai Shuhan won't even give him a disgusted look, and he won't even talk to Ji Houyan anymore.

"Shuhan, wake up."

Over there, Chu Qiuyu quickly sent someone to invite Ji Houyan, saying that he had selected several portraits of beauties who were beautiful, intelligent, and beautiful for the prince.

Even though Ji Houyan was unwilling, he had no choice but to go with Aunt Chun.

Inside the Huishi Pavilion, Chu Qiuyu was dignified. She was holding a cup of tea, using the tea lid to push away the tea leaves floating on the tea, sipped the tea, and when she put it down, Ji Houyan came in.

"Mother's queen." Ji Houyan saluted.

Chu Qiuyu asked him to sit down, and said straight to the point: "The queen mother has selected several outstanding women, which one do you like?"

She unfolded the selected portraits one by one in front of Ji Houyan, and told her about her family background.

Ji Houyan's interest was dull, and he didn't even look at it: "It's up to the queen mother to make the decision."

Chu Qiuyu knew very well that Ji Houyan had no interest in these stunning beauties, and devoted herself to the dead man. She was angry and hated that male favorite in her heart, and she also hoped that Ji Houyan would establish a concubine as soon as possible. First, to continue the incense; Snobbery; the third is to divert attention and cremate that male favorite as soon as possible.

If Ji Houyan didn't choose, Chu Qiuyu decided for him, and finally said: "You hand in the painting that your grandmother left behind."

Hearing this, Ji Houyan, who had always been dull, looked at Chu Qiuyu warily.

"The queen mother sees that painting that fascinates you."

Ji Houyan said indiscriminately: "I don't know where to throw that painting."

"Oh?" Chu Qiuyu didn't believe Ji Houyan's words at all: "My lord cherished that painting so much back then, how can I just throw it away?"

Ji Houyan rubbed his forehead: "Probably because I found one that looks exactly the same, so I didn't pay attention to that painting."

When he said that, Chu Qiuyu also felt that it was possible, after all, it was just a painting, so could it be offered as a treasure?

However, Ji Houyan remembered one thing. When Aunt Chun sent him back, Ji Houyan couldn't help asking: "Mother once said that the princess went to Pingyang County, why?"

Mother Chun said: "Why did the prince ask about this again?"

"I just remembered it all of a sudden." Ji Houyan frowned: "My mother suddenly talked about painting, and this king just remembered what my mother said before, so I asked this question."

When Mother Chun heard the words, she said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I said it, and I don't know much about the specific old slave. I just heard the old slave mention it when I was young."

Ji Houyan asked anxiously: "Then why did the princess go to Pingyang County, where is the son-in-law? He also died on the way to Pingyang County."

"If you don't blame the prince, then the old slave will say so."

"The king does not blame."

Mother Chun said: "Back then the son-in-law was very talented in the court, and was favored by the princess to recruit him as a son-in-law. The prince also knew about this. But after a year after the son-in-law and the princess got married, they often went to brothels, drank flowers and wine, and made friends with all kinds of friends. The old slave also heard from her mother that the princess was pregnant at that time. But the son-in-law did something even more extreme, raising a second wife. I heard that he also raised a man in Pingyang County and wanted to marry him For a wife."

"Who is that person?"

Sister Chun shook her head and said, "This old slave doesn't know either."

A thought flashed in Ji Houyan's mind, but he still couldn't grasp the clue. He asked what he wanted to ask the most: "Then... what about that painting?"

Mother Chun said: "The prince got the painting that day and he must have known that it was a human skin painting. I heard that it was brought back by the princess from Pingyang County."
