Chapter 16: Clear Sky Meets Ghost

  "Alright, I'll check it out."

  ”

  "Your Highness, the room has been prepared for you and the princess. Please follow me!" said Zhang Yiniang with a smile, who came from the palace.

  As I entered the room, I felt a pang in my heart, thinking that this was neither the Fourth Prince's mansion nor our small building, and naturally, they would have prepared a room for us.

  "Alright, you can all go down now!" Xuan Yuan Mu said in a low voice, seeing the old nanny carefully closing the door, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at me.

  I lowered my head and didn't look at him, turned around and walked to the table, poured a cup of tea. When there were things to discuss, we would talk, but when it was just the two of us, we both became silent.

  "Sorry, Ling Xue"

  "Half a day has passed without you speaking to me," Xuan Yuan Mu said with a smile.

  “……”

  "I know I was a bit impatient that day, but... you can't always ignore me."

  "We were just talking."

  "Yes, what I just said, previously it was all because of entering the palace, today is also because of this, can't we talk about something else?"

  "Do you want to quarrel with me again?" My face also sank, looking fearlessly at the person in front of me.

  "You always ignore me..."

  "Is it you who's ignoring me?" I turned my head and said, "You're the one who's been avoiding me these past few days. Why do you look like I'm the one who did something wrong? If you really want to apologize, then remove this for me!" I pointed at my forehead, where Xuan Yuan's curse mark was still visible.

  "You... Mei Lingshuo, you always have a way to make me furious with just one sentence." Xuan Yuan Mu paced back and forth in the room, several times wanting to rush out, but turning back again.

  "Why do you always bring this up? Can't you just be willing to be with me?" Xuan Yuan Mu's eyebrows furrowed tighter, his pupils also turned yellow.

  "Was I willing? From the start, who asked for my opinion?" That's my answer. No one asked me, my father sent me to Ghost Bamboo Forest without asking me, those ghost corpses wanted my life without asking me, he said I was his princess without asking me, all of this, I couldn't resist. Now he actually wants me to be willing to follow him, I can't do that.

  Xuanyuan's eyebrows were furrowed tighter and tighter, his pupils turned more and more yellow, in the dimly lit room, he looked more and more eerie, he stared at me with a pale face.

  I even thought his head would fly up and his fingers would pinch my neck, but as time passed slowly, he just replied fiercely: "Even so, you can't escape!"

  He rushed forward and hugged me tightly, rolling onto the bed with him. I struggled but couldn't resist him, he held me tightly in his arms, refusing to let go. (Good-looking)

  "Xue Er, let's not quarrel in the future, okay? We won't quarrel anymore..."

  Xuanyuan Mu left, and he still had to sit in Hei Zhu Lin, while I had to make sure no one discovered his departure.

  。

  The following days were quite busy, Wang Hui returned, and people came to congratulate him one after another. Xuan Yuan Wu had his own affairs, so the task of receiving guests all fell on me.

  For three consecutive days, the entrance was crowded like a market. It wasn't until the fourth day when I could finally catch my breath that someone from the Left Prime Minister's estate arrived.

  As soon as I entered, Miss Mei Linghua gave me a slap in the face.

  This scene was just seen by Xuan Yuan Mu, who was preparing to go out. He stepped forward and shielded me behind him: "People from the Left Prime Minister's Mei family are not allowed to set foot in my Mu Wang Fu from now on."

  "Xuanyuan!" Meiling Hua rushed forward and grabbed his arm: "I'm Meiling Hua, don't you remember me?"

  "I don't remember, I only know you hit my queen." Xuan Yuan Mu's eyes turned fierce and he shook his sleeve, directly throwing Mei Ling Hua to the ground.

  The people of Zuo Xiang Fu saw it and went forward to pull Mei Ling away from the Wang Fu.

  Mei Ling scolded me as she walked away, saying I was a fox spirit and would come to no good end!

  Six Kings Xuan Yuan was critically ill, and I rushed into the palace with Xuan Yuan Mu in a hurry.

  Xuanyuan Zi was only ten years old and all princes under sixteen had to live in the palace, he was no exception.

  Outside the prince's palace, many people were waiting here, including Crown Prince Xuan Yuan Li and Fourth Prince Xuan Yuan Qi. Only after asking in a low voice did Xuan Yuan Wu learn that Xuan Yuan Zi had been ill for almost a year.

  Seeing the third princess Ruoxi crying so sadly on one side, I know that the reason is not simple.

  Waiting for me to follow Xuan Yuan Mu, Xuan Yuan Qi entered the hall and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

  Xiao Xiao's Xuan Yuan Zi didn't look like a ten-year-old child at all. He was thin and dry, lying on the bed, while the queen sat on one side crying softly.

  Xuanyuan Qi only took a glance and let out a sigh before turning around and leaving the room, as if he couldn't bear to look anymore.

  I feel a chill beside me, as if something is pulling at me from behind, but in such a large palace, who would do such a thing except for these few people?

  。

  I slowly turned my head and saw Xuan Yuan Zi, who was standing behind me with a pale face. He was pulling on my clothes, his long hair scattered over his shoulders, his eye sockets were dark, and his lips were pale white.

  I turned back in surprise and looked at the bed, Xuan Yuan Zi was still lying there.

  Xuan Yuan's mouth suddenly curved into a smile, his eyes bulged out as if they were about to pop out, and he held a small white dagger in his hand, stabbing it towards my body.

  My heart is racing, I want to hide but I'm afraid of being rude in front of everyone.

  "Empress Dowager, have you seen the imperial physician?" I finally gathered my courage and took a step forward to ask before Xuan Yuan had a chance to speak, thus avoiding that little demon's knife.

  I know this is very unbecoming of a courtier, in some situations I can't even walk ahead of Xuan Yuan, let alone speak.

  Xuanyuan Mu looked at me with a glance, and suddenly saw the ghost of Xuanyuan Zi who was about to stab me again with a knife. He couldn't help but furrow his brow, staring at Xuanyuan Zi with eyes flashing a hint of yellow.

  Xiao Xiao's Xuan Yuan Zi disappeared, and on the ground was a small paper knife.

  The imperial physician was also at a loss, and even the national teacher had no solution! The empress finished speaking, suddenly burst into tears, and while crying, she stretched out her hand to tightly hug Xuan Yuan Zi's thin body.

  We retreated out, just as we were exiting the door, I heard the queen shouting "Are they going to spare not even my last child?"

  When I left the palace, it was already near dusk. I walked with Xuan Yuan Mu in front and back on the stone road of the imperial palace.

  "Ling Xue, is it okay if I leave tonight?" Xuan Yuan Mu still had to go to the Black Bamboo Forest.

  I nodded: "Nothing!" I looked back and saw Xuan Yuan Zi following behind, he seemed to be afraid of Xuan Yuan Mu, just following us from a distance.

  Unfortunately, I couldn't communicate with the ghost, or else I could ask him who had wronged him so. Perhaps the person who wronged him was the same as the one who dismembered Emperor Xuan Yuan's corpse. The face of Emperor Xuan Tian appeared in my mind.
