Shangguan Yahan saw that Sage Ye had cowered, and she was full of arrogance. She stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and raised her little neck, her nostrils almost reaching the sky." I like to call you that. Why? You don't agree? If you don't agree, then don't talk to me anymore. Anyway, you won't listen to anything I say.”
Sage Ye couldn't bear this crime. What did he mean by he didn't like what she said? Who else would he like to hear if he didn't like what she said?
"I like to hear it, I like to hear whatever you say…Forget it, you can call me whatever you want.”He compromised and smiled helplessly.
Shangguan Yahan was happy now, and she smiled." Then you have to agree if I call you Little Ye."”
Sage Ye took a deep breath and nodded with a smile." Alright."”
"Little Ye?" Shangguan Yahan called out tentatively.
"Yes." Xian Shengyan forced himself to agree. At the same time, he knew very well that he would never be able to make a comeback in the future.
"Good boy, Little Ye, Little Ye, Little Ye.”Shangguan Yahan took a step forward and cupped Sage Ye's gloomy face, calling out to him, enjoying the joy of victory.
In the dead of the night, Wen Haolei followed Sage Ye's instructions and sprinkled a layer of apricot powder on the windows of each courtyard before hiding in the dark.
Just as everything was ready, something happened to Third Madam Xu Hanyan.
When Sage Ye arrived, Xu Hanyan was hugging her personal maid tightly as they sat on the ground, looking as if they had seen a ghost. The other maids on night duty were in the same state as them.
This time, Shangguan Yahan also came. It was an occupational disease. She was very concerned about this case…It was also an occupational disease to treat everything as a case.
She asked Wen Haolei for a lantern and went to the window. She looked at the ground carefully. The apricot powder was still intact and there was not a single footprint on it.
Could it really have floated over? Or perhaps, that female ghost knew qinggong.
This would be difficult to handle. He was so elusive that even the guards would not be able to discover him when he came. One had to know that the guards of the Prince Regent's Residence were all first-class experts.
If that spy could really come and go freely in such an environment, it would be really amazing.
However, there was one thing she still could not figure out. The spy hiding in the dark must have been ordered by the little Emperor to do this, but what was the little Emperor's goal?
What he and Sage Ye wanted to fight over, how could it be so simple? Since he could sit on the throne, he should not be stupid. He should also know that by doing so, he might expose the spy who had been lurking in the prince's residence for so many years.
Thinking of this, she suspected that someone else was pretending to be a ghost to scare people.
As for the purpose, he would have to wait until he caught the haunted person to find out the truth.
The next morning, Sage Ye returned from the palace. He saw Shangguan Zizhu waiting for him at the entrance the moment he got off the sedan chair.
"This concubine greets your highness." Shangguan Zizhu bowed with a rare seriousness on her face.
"Stand up." Sage Ye said as he walked in. He knew that Shangguan Zizhu had something to say, so he slowed down.
Shangguan Zizhu stood up and followed him." Your Highness, recently…it seems that the residence isn't very peaceful. I was thinking if we could hire a Venerable One.”She knew that Sage Ye hated sorcerers and fortune-tellers the most, so she spoke carefully.
Sage Ye nodded." Do as you see fit."”
Recently, the people in the residence were in a state of panic. Finding a mage over might be able to appease the people.
Shangguan Zizhu did not expect Sage Ye to agree so readily. She was so excited that she almost jumped up. She hurriedly bowed and retreated.
In the evening, the mage came looking for her. Shangguan Yahan only knew that the mage had come to the residence after hearing from Shufei, the maid of the main courtyard.
Speaking of Shufei, Shangguan Yahan had always felt that the tight and elastic Su Fei must have had a deep relationship with her, and perhaps she was the one who created it.
She had never seen a mage exorcise a ghost before, so she had to join in the fun. She brought Shufei to Peony Garden.
When they arrived, the mages were already prepared. Situ Miaoxuan was also there.
"You're here too." Shangguan Yahan walked over and stood in front of Situ Miaoxuan.
Situ Miaoxuan leaned close to Shangguan Yahan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear," There will be a good show later."”
Shangguan Yahan frowned and looked at Situ Miaoxuan in confusion. Situ Miaoxuan didn't say anything and gave her a meaningful smile.
The exorcism had officially begun. Shangguan Yahan looked at the yellow-robed mage, who was holding a sword in one hand and a talisman in the other. He was mumbling as he walked around the table. He looked like a ghost.
Shangguan Yahan couldn't help but laugh when she saw his comical appearance, but she didn't laugh out loud. No matter what, this was a serious place. Was it okay to be cheeky?
Situ Miaoxuan nudged Shangguan Yahan with her elbow. Shangguan Yahan retracted the smile on her face and looked at her. Suddenly, she heard a shout.
She immediately turned around and saw the mage with a righteous expression. He was holding the sword that was used to exorcise ghosts and pointing it at her. The sword was still wearing the talisman that he had just held.
"What do you mean? Does that mean I'm that female ghost?”Shangguan Yahan looked at Situ Miaoxuan and asked. Recalling her words and that meaningful smile, every blade of grass and tree in her heart began to collapse.
"You'll know who the real female ghost is later.”Situ Miaoxuan's voice was soft as she turned around and met Shangguan Zizhu's gaze.
Shangguan Zizhu immediately walked up to the Mage." Mage, what do you mean by this? This is our princess. You mean…the female ghost is the princess?”
The mage snorted." What ghost? It's more like pretending to be a ghost."
"Playing tricks? Princess Consort…Sister, so the female ghost I've been seeing…is you.”Shangguan Zizhu's face turned pale with fright as she stepped forward to face Shangguan Yahan.
Shangguan Yahan finally understood. From the beginning to the end, there was no female ghost at all…or perhaps someone had been playing tricks on them a few days ago, just to make this matter bigger. However, the female ghosts that Shangguan Zizhu and Xu Hanyan saw later did not exist at all. The way they looked like they had seen ghosts was just a show.
She did not expect Shangguan Zizhu to be so smart. She had underestimated this Secondary Consort.
"Wang Fei, Wang Fei, say something.”Shufei walked behind Shangguan Yahan and whispered into her ear, tugging at the back of her clothes.
Shangguan Yahan turned to look at Shufei and winked at her. Meeting Shangguan Zizhu's gaze, she coldly snorted,"It seems that the Shangguan Secondary Consort has already made preparations. What's next? Are you going to search this princess 'Lianxiang Residence?" If we search, let me think, hmm…there are white clothes, what else?”
Shangguan Zizhu smiled charmingly." Elder Sister, now that Younger Sister is in charge, I naturally can't ignore this matter. However, as for searching Elder Sister's Lianxiang Residence, how would Younger Sister dare to do so? This matter should be decided by His Highness.”
Shangguan Yahan knew that Shangguan Zizhu must have ordered people to put the ghost suit's clothes into Lotus Fragrance Residence, but she wasn't afraid. So what if they found it? So what if she was really pretending to be a ghost?
Sage Ye wouldn't do anything to her.
"Princess Consort." Shufei was anxious.
If this matter were to reach his highness, it would really be troublesome.
Shangguan Yahan reached behind her and pinched Shufei's hand, indicating that she was fine. She nodded at Shangguan Zizhu," Since Younger Sister is in charge, of course I have to listen to Younger Sister."”
Shangguan Zizhu was still a little worried. Shangguan Yahan had a fearless look on her face, as if everything that was about to happen was within her control.
She then looked at Situ Miaoxuan, who was beside Shangguan Yahan, and her heart suddenly thumped, her eyes filled with panic.
Shangguan Yahan took in all the changes in Shangguan Zizhu and turned to look at Situ Miaoxuan." What happened?”
Situ Miaoxuan smiled lightly." Let's go see His Highness first."”
Shangguan Yahan nodded, and the two of them turned around and left the Peony Garden together. Shufei quickly followed.
The bad feeling in Shangguan Zizhu's heart grew stronger. She turned around and looked at the mage before walking out with the mage following behind her.
"Miao Xuan, are you hiding something from me?”Shangguan Yahan couldn't wait any longer. She just wanted to know what was going on.
Situ Miaoxuan paused and turned around to see that Shangguan Zizhu had not followed her. She said softly,"I was the one who put the leech in your blanket."”
Shangguan Yahan's heart had completely collapsed.
She had really trusted the wrong person.
Situ Miaoxuan looked at Shangguan Yahan's calm face and the disappointment in her eyes. She smiled lightly," Shangguan Zizhu also asked me to put that white dress in your Lotus Fragrance Residence…But, I put it in Peony Garden. Also, the two letters you received were also written by me with my left hand.”
Shangguan Yahan was confused, and it took her quite a while to speak.”
She seemed to understand what Situ Miaoxuan meant. Was she protecting her?
"That day when Shangguan Zizhu came to find me, it was the day I came out of the dungeon. She said that she wanted to join forces with me to deal with you…Yahan, even if I didn't agree to her request, she would still join forces with others.”As Situ Miaoxuan spoke, her watery almond-shaped eyes dimmed bit by bit.
Shangguan Yahan finally understood, and her tensed heart relaxed. Why didn't you tell me? Shangguan Zizhu is such a cunning person. What if she pushed all the blame onto you?”
"Yahan, have I become very bad? Actually, even if Secondary Consort Shangguan, she…she can be a little bossy sometimes, I shouldn't have lied to her like this, but…”Situ Miaoxuan lowered her head, and then a soft sigh could be heard.
"Of course not. If you were bad, then Shangguan Zizhu would be unpardonable. Don't worry, no one will think of you that way.”Shangguan Yahan squeezed Situ Miaoxuan's hand, feeling so touched that she wanted to cry.
It turned out that she had done so much for her behind her back.
Situ Miaoxuan finally laughed and squinted at her." How can you be so powerful that you can control other people's thoughts?"”
Shangguan Yahan raised her chin and answered with certainty,"I can."”
The group of people arrived at Sage Ye's hall. Situ Yue was also there.
"What's wrong? You caught the ghost?" Sage Ye asked Shangguan Yahan.
Shangguan Yahan pulled Situ Miaoxuan over to Sage Ye's side and sat down. She looked at Shangguan Zizhu and the Venerable One who came in from behind and snorted coldly," Ask your good concubine."”
Sage Ye's gaze then landed on Shangguan Zizhu. His long phoenix eyes flashed with a bone-piercing cold light.
Shangguan Zizhu's hair stood on end. Cold sweat seeped out of her palms, and her legs went limp. She knelt in front of Sage Ye. The mages who came in behind her, Qingyun, Xu Hanyan, and Meng Jiase, also knelt down.
"Speak." Sage Ye's beautiful petals opened and closed. The words he spat out were deep, powerful, and cold.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:0525201811:17AM
