Chapter 1743 The Ghost of the Mountain Valley
Lu Zhaoling had just heard Qingyin mention this matter.
However, she hadn't thought carefully about which of them were suspicious.
"When Qingyin spoke, she did not say that she was a mysterious lady, nor did she mention that she was rumored to be the new favorite of the King of Nanzhao."
Qingyin said that Yao Shi and Yao Yutong had met a veiled lady, and that everyone around them was somewhat wary of this lady, acting cautiously in front of her.
However, this lady did take the initiative to speak a few words with Yao Yutong, showing concern and asking her if she was getting used to life in Nanzhao and when she would return to the capital.
Lu Zhaoling asked Zhou Shiyue with some curiosity, "After hearing that, how did you come to think she was so mysterious, and where did you hear that she was the new favorite of the Prince of Nanzhao?"
No wonder Qingyin told her earlier that she could leave these matters to the prince and not to worry about them. Now it seems that's true. The messages are the same, but when they reach Zhou Shiyue, he can extract the more important information. It's probably related to the intelligence he obtained before.
Zhou Shiyue said, "I have been paying attention to what is happening in Nanzhao. I heard before that the King of Nanzhao may have a new favorite concubine, but no one has seen what this concubine looks like."
"However, the message that came back only mentioned this one sentence. When I heard what Yao mentioned just now, I remembered this piece of information. I estimate that this is the only person in Nanzhao who can be treated with such caution by everyone. I have already sent a message to Nanzhao, asking people to focus their investigation on this mysterious woman."
Zhou Shiyue said to Lu Zhaoling, "My intuition has always been quite accurate. This matter is inextricably linked to this woman. If she is not the mastermind, she must be someone who knows the mastermind."
As they were talking, Sheng San Niangzi's voice came from outside, calling out, "Master, may I come in?"
As she asked if she could come in, Madam Sheng had already peeked into the room.
She was still covering her eyes with one hand, but her fingers were spread apart, and her eyes darted around behind the fingers. When she saw Zhou Shiyue holding Lu Zhaoling's hand, she exclaimed softly, "I didn't see anything!"
"However, Your Highness, please don't do anything indecent in broad daylight. I have important business to discuss with you."
Zhou Shiyue said irritably, "Since you've already seen it, come in."
He's having a tough time. He can't even have a wedding night because someone is using evil spirits to harm him; he can't even be intimate because a ghost keeps popping out to spy on them.
Zhou Shiyue expressed his helplessness.
When will he be able to drive all these people and ghosts out and get along well with his queen?
Thinking about this made him a little sad, because he felt it was unlikely to happen in the short term.
Lu Zhaoling had just told him not to complain by himself, but now she saw Zhou Shiyue looking very resentful.
She suppressed a laugh, looked at Sheng San Niangzi who floated in, and couldn't help but ask, "But Grandma, you can already appear in human form, so why do you still float around from time to time?"
Madam Sheng waved her hand dismissively and said, "Isn't it because I'm lazy? Floating is much easier than walking on two legs."
These words left Lu Zhaoling speechless.
She looked at Madam Sheng and asked, "What's the matter?"
Madam Sheng said, "Lord Qi'a has already captured Duan Fan. He sent me to tell him that he's taking Duan Fan to hell."
Lu Zhaoling was speechless. While that was the situation, Sheng San Niangzi's description sounded somewhat unsettling. What did she mean by taking someone to hell? Couldn't she have mentioned the underworld?
However, she couldn't be bothered to argue with Madam Sheng about this. "No one saw him take Duan Fan away, right?"
"When Lord Qi'a makes a move, it's not so easy for others to see. Master, didn't you notice? When we were in the Ghost Market before, Lord Qi'a was probably hiding his true abilities."
Hearing her say that, Lu Zhaoling remembered that back in the West Courtyard, Qi'a seemed to have fought to a standstill with Junior Brother Yin.
However, they hadn't realized how strong Qi'a was back in the Ghost Market. After all, Junior Brother Yin was using the abilities of a judge, and Qi'a, a mere Yin general from the Ghost Market, was able to fight him to a standstill, indicating that his cultivation was much higher than it had previously shown.
Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but recall what Qi'a had said about his master and young master, and became even more curious about the two people Qi'a had mentioned.
“Besides this matter, Master, the rest of our Sheng family has come to the capital. But they sent a letter to Xiaohan on the way, saying that they encountered something on the way. The letter was written in a hurry, and it seems that it was not finished, and it did not say what they wanted to do. I want to go with Xiaohan to see, because Xiaohan is worried that something has happened to her parents.”
Have Sheng Xiaohan's family really come to Beijing?
Lu Zhaoling was somewhat surprised and asked, "Where did they have their accident? Why would they send a little devil to deliver a message? Is the little devil still around? Let him come and explain."
"They said the letter was sent through a place called Jianwangou. Master, you know that Xiaohan and the others used to do business in the ghost market, so they must have some ability and connections to ask ghosts for help."
"It seems that a lot of people have died in that place, so some little ghosts will go back there from time to time. I don't know exactly what they go back to do, but Xiaohan said that she had heard a few words about Jianwangou."
"His parents must have encountered a little devil who went up there, so they asked that little devil to deliver a message to the capital. But the little devil seemed to encounter some resistance when he was about to enter the capital. After finally delivering the message to Xiao Han, he quickly ran away, saying that the capital was not a place he could stay."
Lu Zhaoling frowned.
It's true that it's not so easy for ordinary kids to enter the capital.
Especially at this stage, in addition to the many evil spirits in the capital, there are also the talismans that they posted everywhere to suppress those evil spirits.
"Jianwangou?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyue said, "I think I've heard of this place before."
"Your Highness has heard of it too?"
Madam Sheng was in a hurry to leave, but she held back after hearing this.
Now that she has experience, she still needs to listen to what the Prince of Jin knows, as it can often be helpful or save her a lot of trouble.
Zhou Shiyue recalled, "I heard it when I was a child. I heard that a woman died in Jianwangou. That woman was searching for her husband."
Madam Sheng opened her eyes wide.
Is Your Highness going to tell a story?
