In Kyoto, on the most prosperous street leading to the Imperial Palace.
I saw a young man in an apricot-yellow brocade robe with dark patterns holding a fat baby in a red jacket with two little balls on its head.
Next to him was a woman wearing a dark red dress with a numb expression, skin as white as snow, dark circles under her eyes, and lips as red as blood.
Her black hair was loose, only half tied back with a white ribbon.
"It's broad daylight, am I seeing a ghost?"
One of them rubbed his eyes, then looked hard, and suddenly his eyes widened. He pointed at the woman in the dark red dress and said tremblingly,
"Isn't this the... the... the Northern Yi princess who died four days ago?!?"
"Oh my god! Ghost..."
"A ghost appeared in broad daylight!!!"
Immediately, wherever Qianluo passed, there was chaos, and living people all gave way to her, trying to hide as far away as possible.
But it can't resist the curiosity of some people.
"No, no..."
A man hiding under the stall pointed at the shadow under Qianluo's feet.
"She has a shadow, she's not a ghost!"
Upon hearing this, many people who were hiding opened one eye and took a sneak peek.
"It's... it's a human..."
"He's not afraid of the second young master of the Rong family being with her. It must be... a human..."
But Qianluo's face was pale and she looked like she was half dead, like a walking corpse. She didn't look like a living person at all, right?
Someone boldly asked, "Second Young Master, is Princess Qianluo...resurrected? Or is she not dead at all?"
[She is neither alive nor dead, her soul has not yet fully merged with her body, and she is now a living dead.]
“Living dead…living dead…people…”
Rong Chaoxi waved her hands and spoke, but no one else could understand her words.
"Um?"
Rong Yuanyou glanced at Qianluo, thinking about what Chaoxi had said in his heart, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and evil thoughts began to rise in his heart.
"Help, help, we are controlled by her, please save me..."
Rong Yuanyou freed one hand and waved at the people on the street, trying his best to act as if he was unwilling but had to follow Qianluo.
Rong Chaoxi understood immediately when he saw his second brother's condition.
She immediately waved her hands and began to cry out, "Help, help...ah...uh...er..."
He also sticks out his tongue and rolls his eyes from time to time.
Everyone was confused.
Please don't make your performance too obvious!!
We are just timid, not fools!
"Why aren't they afraid?" Rong Yuanyou asked Chaoxi while scratching his neck.
“…” Rong Chaoxi didn’t know either.
While thinking about it, he saw Mo Qi following behind with an expressionless face.
"Qiqi..." The little guy pointed at Mo Qi, "Qiqi, change..."
[They are not afraid because Qiqi is not under control.]
Rong Yuanyou nodded, he agreed.
He turned sideways and whispered to Mo Qi, "Mo Qi, you should act like you're being controlled by a ghost."
Mo Qi remained indifferent and didn't hear it.
"You learn from me." Rong Yuanyou demonstrated it to him.
Mo Qi still didn't hear it.
Seeing that Mo Qi was not cooperating, Rong Chaoxi pouted and looked at him like a puppy with her big watery eyes.
Mo Qi: Destroy it! (╯#-_-)╯╧═╧ (╯#-_-)╯┴—┴
"Help... save us..." Mo Qi used all his strength to force a frightened expression, and shouted twice every two steps and two shouts.
"Help, help, save us..."
"Save...save Chaoxi..."
Onlookers: ...
"Why don't we act it out for a bit? It's not easy for the child to work so hard..."
"Just act it out for a bit..."
“Ahhhhhhhh… It really is a ghost… A ghost that can control people…”
"Go find the master quickly, go find the master to save the second young master and the young lady..."
Seeing someone shouting like that, some people who didn't know what was going on joined in and shouted a few times in panic perfunctorily.
Some children saw Rong Yuanyou and Chaoxi making faces, and although they didn't know why they were making faces, they thought it was fun and followed them and made faces too.
As time went on, the team grew and they developed their own acting skills.
Then the following scene appeared on the long street.
Behind the "ghost" Qianluo was a long line of "controlled people".
Their faces were distorted, their tongues were sticking out, their eyes were rolling, they walked with a limp, and from time to time they made strange "ho ho ho" sounds.
Many passers-by were unaware of what had happened before and were frightened by the scene. They turned pale and panicked, screaming for a while before quickly fleeing.
Someone took out a peach wood sword from his home and shouted to the crowd, "Retreat, retreat, retreat..."
Someone saw his own child in the team and wanted to go in to rescue him, but was stopped by others.
"Don't go. I heard that people controlled by ghosts will go crazy. Let's go find a wizard to exorcise the ghosts. Only a wizard can save them..."
In this way, people were looking for people, and people were taking talismans to ward off evil spirits, and the long street was in chaos.
Rong Chaoxi looked at the huge team behind him and clapped his hands, saying it was fun.
But we have already reached the palace gate.
"What's going on?" The palace gate guards were all stunned when they saw this huge team.
"Are these children controlled by evil spirits?"
At this moment, Mo Qi, the only adult among the group of children, finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to explain the situation.
When the guard learned that it was just children playing, he lowered his guard, shouted them away, and sent someone in to report.
Soon, a eunuch came quickly to welcome Rong Chaoxi and others into the palace.
…
In the imperial study.
Rong Baichuan helped Qin Nan sit down quietly, and the two of them drank tea leisurely.
He originally thought that if Qianluo could not be resurrected, he would ask Jiang Lingyu to take out the evidence collected by Rong Yubai that Qianluo committed suicide.
Unexpectedly, I had to rely on my daughter to suppress the bandits, and now I have to rely on my daughter to clear myself of suspicion.
What would he do without Chaoxi?
Rong Baichuan threw up a grape and caught it with his mouth, looking relaxed.
The Prince of Beiyi was full of anxiety.
Wasn't the poison she took real? How did she come back to life? Did Wuer betray her?
After both parties waited with different thoughts, they finally arrived.
The first thing I heard was Rong Chaoxi's giggling.
Rong Baichuan immediately got up and went outside to answer it.
He was shocked when he saw Qianluo's face.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!"
Fortunately, it was daytime, and he kept himself steady and did not tremble while hugging the pillar, otherwise he would have been laughed at by the emperor for a whole year.
However, Qianluo's skin is too white. What's with those dark circles under her eyes? And her mouth looks like it just sucked blood.
It was exactly the same description he gave of his biological mother whom he had seen during the Ghost Festival last year.
Is she alive or not?
