Chapter 171 Trembling

She admired Nanny Yao and the wet nurse, as well as the guards and secret guards on duty.

How do they manage to sleep when they are supposed to and be on duty when they are supposed to?

Fortunately, she had space, which saved her from embarrassment.

"Little gourd, are you in a hurry to find me?"

As soon as she entered the space, Chu Qinshu saw Xiao Hulu in a daze.

Little Hulu rarely appears to be in a daze. What happened today?

"Master, you don't like Little Gourd anymore?"

Little Gourd pouted, obviously unhappy.

"I like it. How could I not like Little Gourd?"

Chu Qinshu stretched out her chubby little hand and touched the gourd leaves that had just perked up, to comfort the little gourd.

But she didn't really understand where Xiao Hulu's emotions came from.

"Then why did you ignore me when I called you just now?"

Xiao Hulu looked aggrieved and pretended not to look at Chu Qinshu.

In fact, its big, sparkling eyes were still quietly scanning Chu Qinshu's face.

"I was waiting for my dad just now, and I was afraid that if I went into the space, he would not give me a bath..."

Chu Qinshu patiently explained to Xiao Hulu why she wanted Doctor Cheng to make more medicine.

According to the original book, Liangzhou, where her grandfather and second uncle are stationed, will be attacked from both sides by Fengning Kingdom and Chiling Kingdom next year.

Although the Empress and the Imperial Preceptor have been replaced by Emperor Yongping's own people, it is not easy to find out the situation in the two countries.

If this war is unavoidable, one more pill of medicine made from her bath water can save one more wounded soldier's life.

She is still young and cannot go to the battlefield to fight bravely.

Then take more baths, make more medicines, and provide logistical support for the soldiers on the front line.

"No way. The book says that in that war, the Red Spirit Kingdom persuaded the Fengning Kingdom to join forces to attack Liangzhou. Wasn't the Imperial Master imprisoned by your grandfather? Without him..."

Xiao Hulu had no doubts about Chu Qinshu's explanation.

It was the Imperial Master who sent a message back to the Chiling Kingdom, saying that Chu Chengyi had been deposed, and the Chiling Kingdom then began to implement the plan to eliminate several major generals of the Sheng'an Kingdom.

The most direct way to eliminate a general is to make changes on the battlefield.

Chu Qinshu's grandfather and second uncle were both on the list of people that the Red Spirit Kingdom planned to eliminate.

"Although the Imperial Master has been imprisoned, the Red Spirit Nation is unaware of this, and they will not give up their ambitions easily, so we must be fully prepared."

Chu Qinshu touched Xiao Hulu's head and felt that she looked so tall at the moment, with an aura that must be at least 2.8 meters.

Unfortunately, when I lowered my head, I saw two small bean-like shadows on the ground.

Apart from being cute and adorable, what kind of aura is there?

Alas, is this the gap between reality and ideal?

"Don't be angry, little gourd. Hurry up and see what happened when my father and I returned to the East Palace."

Chu Qinshu said as she picked up the directory on the recliner, intending to look for Chu Chengyi's name.

After thinking about it, I decided that I couldn't watch Chu Chengyi's video now.

What if I happen to see him and Yu Jinyi's live broadcast?

But she didn't know what happened at that time, who was there, and whose name should she call?

"Master, don't you know whose name to call?"

Little Gourd indeed has a mutual understanding with Chu Qinshu.

She just frowns and it knows what she's thinking.

"Well, who saw what happened at that time?

My father's cloak blocked my eyes and I didn't see anything. My father was surrounded by guards and probably didn't see anything either."

Chu Qinshu said this deliberately because she didn't want Xiao Hulu to mention Chu Chengyi's name.

I watch videos at night because I’m afraid of seeing content that is not suitable for children.

I wonder if Xiao Hulu saw it when he was watching all night?

"Hey, he's your father's secret guard. He usually hides on the roof or in the fork of a tree. The higher he hides, the farther he can see."

Little Gourd pretended to suggest.

In fact, it couldn't resist its curiosity and had already watched the video, so it clicked on Guan Jue's name.

It was frightened by the red scene, so it kept calling Chu Qinshu.

But Chu Qinshu didn't even care about it, so it felt wronged.

"Xiao Hulu is right. Xiao Hulu is really smart."

Chu Qinshu stretched out her chubby little hand and touched the gourd leaves on the small gourd head to show her praise.

After that, just find the name of the person you care about in the list and click on it.

Sure enough, Guan Jue's perspective is clear.

Little Hulu covered his eyes with his hands, leaving a gap between his fingers.

The look of not daring to watch but wanting to watch it at the same time was similar to Chu Qinshu staying up late to watch horror movies in her previous life.

When they saw the guards stabbed Zhao Tian with ten or twenty holes in no time, the two little cuties hugged each other.

"Little gourd, don't say you're scared, you are a spiritual treasure from the underworld."

Chu Qinshu trembled, she regretted watching this video.

From Guan Jue's perspective, looking from above, he could clearly see the blood gushing out of the hole.

And there was Zhao Tian's unwilling, confused, and desperate look. I was afraid I would be possessed by her if I looked at her for a few more seconds.

“It’s true that the little gourd is a magical treasure from the underworld, but the underworld is full of ghosts, and no matter how miserable the death is, they won’t move.

The video shows the entire process from birth to death, with the person vomiting blood and convulsing before dying with his eyes open. Who wouldn’t be scared after watching this?”

Xiao Hulu's explanation was not too cunning. The ghosts in the underworld were mindless and just followed the guidance of the soul guide mechanically every step of the way.

Just like the haunted houses in many amusement parks in later generations, if it were just props, without music and NPCs popping up inadvertently, it would not be scary at all.

"You're right. We can't stay in this study anymore. Let's go to the bedroom and sleep."

Chu Qinshu patted her chest, climbed down from the recliner, and walked to the bedroom on her own.

The study is the largest room in the ancient house, but there are also bedrooms, kitchens, toilets, and even stables, so it has everything you need.

This was the first time Chu Qinshu slept in a space tonight.

Little Gourd found it very interesting and quickly climbed down from the recliner and followed.

It seldom sleeps in the bedroom. It is a spiritual treasure and can sleep anywhere. It is not picky at all.

"Go to bed and sleep well, or you won't grow taller."

Chu Qinshu climbed onto the bed and lay down, patting the place beside her, motioning Xiao Hulu to lie down as well.

Little Gourd just lay down obediently without saying a single unnecessary word.

The process of transforming from a living person into a ghost is so terrifying.

But why did Concubine Yue leave so quietly?

Little Gourd fell into a dream with doubts.

However, Prince Ning's Mansion would soon be in chaos.

It turned out to be Chu Chengyi. He actually asked Guan Jue to arrange for secret guards to send Zhao Tian to Prince Ning's Mansion.

After the secret guards sent the blood-red Zhao Tian to Princess Ning's yard, they hung her on the osmanthus tree in the yard, which was Princess Ning's favorite.

When he left, he threw a stone into Princess Ning's bedroom.

Princess Ning thought that her arrangement for today had succeeded and someone had come to give her a reply, so she went to the yard with full confidence.

Who knew that what greeted her was the human-shaped Haitang gauze figure under the osmanthus tree.

Although Zhao Tian's body was stiff, her Begonia gauze dress fluttered in the cold wind of the winter night.

Winter nights are usually very dark, but Princess Ning is a big woman, so she uses an oil lamp.

Therefore, the vague red color looked even more eerie under the reflection of the lights.

"Go and have a look."

Princess Ning pointed two brave maids to go and check.
