Chapter 314 - He Killed Me
Chapter 314: He Killed Me
When Princess Xingmo disappeared, the Crown Prince had yet to be born, so it was normal that he did not recognize the person in the painting when he first received it. Moreover, the woman in the painting was wearing a palace maid’s dress.
“The Crown Prince asked you to copy the scriptures for Princess Xingmo. Do you have the time? If you’re tired, I’ll reject him for you,” Xie Pinggang actually felt something was off.
The Crown Prince said that her sister was good at Sanskrit.
However, his sister… grew up in a Taoist temple!
No matter how good her Sanskrit was, she should not copy the scriptures all day, right?
Besides, there were many people who could copy the scriptures. Why did he get Xie Qiao to do it?
He felt that there seemed to be some shady deal between the Crown Prince and his sister… but he did not dare to ask about the Crown Prince. As for Xie Qiao…
This girl’s mouth was probably even tighter than the Crown Prince’s.
“I can do it. When it’s finished, I’ll personally hand it to His Highness in the academy,” Xie Qiao replied with a serious expression.
“Oh,” Xie Pinggang narrowed his eyes, “Don’t think about hitting on the Crown Prince. It’s a waste of time. You need to find someone easy to deal with so that you can have a child earlier.”
Xie Qiao covered her face and fled, going upstairs directly.
It was terrible.
He, Xie Pinggang, had the fate of a loner. How dare he ask her to bear a child?
Thinking of this, Xie Qiao thought even after so long, his eldest brother’s appearance had not changed at all. This destiny was really too strong. He should have brought along more Love Talismans with him!
Xie Pinggang chuckled. He thought Xie Qiao was shy, so he left in big steps.
As soon as Xie Pinggang left, Xie Qiao let out a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper looked at Xie Qiao going upstairs. He was going to stop her, but when he saw her back, he was stunned for a moment before Xie Qiao barged in.
Young Lady Xie’s figure was exactly the same as the owner’s.
Now that she had gone upstairs, the shopkeeper could not say anything more. He was prepared to wait until the owner came over to talk about this matter.
After Xie Qiao went upstairs, she released the female ghoul in the palace dress.
Since being here for so long, this ghoul looked much more energetic now.
Xie Qiao looked at her and asked tentatively, “Do you remember who you are now?”
The female ghoul was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head, “I only remember that there were many people at night. There were sky lanterns, fireworks, and…”
The female soul’s expression suddenly became extremely terrifying. Her pupils dilated, and her voice was shrill, “He killed me! He killed me!”
“Who?” Xie Qiao frowned.
“Yes… yes…” The female ghoul kept thinking, and she was on the verge of collapse.
It looked as if she was about to become a resentful soul. However, it was also the time when the female ghoul was most awake. Xie Qiao prepared the talisman, and she continued to ask, “Do you know where your body is? If you can’t remember, that’s fine. Follow your instincts and I’ll follow you.”
Generally, spirits could more or less sense their own bodies.
Although Princess Xingmo’s soul was a little chaotic, she definitely had some basic abilities.
Xie Qiao’s voice seemed to have the ability to appease the spirit.
She walked out of the door and hovered along the way.
Xie Qiao placed a talisman on this ghoul’s body and chased after her along the way.
Sometimes, this ghoul would directly pass through the wall, but Xie Qiao could not do so, so she could only go the long way.
After about two hours, Xie Qiao stopped.
She was stunned.
This place… was the Zhou Residence.
The Zhou family had the family background of scholars, and the deceased old master was once the late Emperor’s teacher.
In addition to those officials in the imperial court, the Zhou family had several powerful figures as well.
