"Ah?" Yinhua was so shocked that she let out a cry.
Although she hadn't heard any strange noises during the few days she stayed in the room, she didn't really believe in the ghost story. She thought Princess Mingyue was hallucinating.
But, leaving her here alone tonight...
She started to get scared...
But the master's orders cannot be refused.
When night fell again, Mingyue went to sleep in the room in the back hall, leaving her room to Yinhua.
Yinhua was a little scared at first, so she carefully checked the furnishings in the room. After finding nothing unusual, she sat on the soft bed.
In order to watch over Mingyue, Yinhua has been living a life of day and night reversal these days, and sometimes she can't even catch up on sleep during the day.
The fragrant and soft bed in the master bedroom was right in front of me, and in the end, sleepiness overcame fear.
Anyway, the princess has been saying that she heard strange noises these days, but she was fine and nothing happened. If there really were strange noises, she would just have to wait until she heard them before getting up.
After saying that, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
However, in the second half of the night, when she was sleeping soundly, a thick hemp rope was tightly wrapped around her neck and pulled her out of bed.
Yinhua was lying on the princess's bed, dreaming of becoming a princess, but this feeling of suffocation instantly pulled her back to reality.
Because her neck was strangled and she was deprived of oxygen, she opened her mouth wide to shout for help and get oxygen.
Ah Xin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "When you offended the Queen, did you ever think you would end up like this?"
Yinhua's brain was a little deprived of oxygen due to the tightness of the hemp rope, but she still heard it. "Empress?" Who is the Empress?
Ah Qing was standing nearby, and as if afraid that Yin Hua didn't know, she also came to Yin Hua's side and whispered in a voice that only Yin Hua could hear, "Princess Ming Zhu is our Empress."
When Yinhua heard the words "Princess Mingzhu", she was so frightened that her hair stood on end. She opened her mouth to shout to the people outside, wanting to tell them that Jiang Ziyi was the queen. However, the hemp rope was too tight, and she could only squeeze out a thin breath, and no sound could be heard.
She tried to use her hands to untie the rope that was tightly around her neck, and kicked her legs wildly to try to escape from the current situation. However, her strength was too weak compared to Ah Xin's.
In order to prevent her from making any loud noise, Ah Qing sat on her and pressed her legs hard, making her unable to move.
Before long, her face turned red from the tightness of the hemp rope, the veins on her neck were noticeably bulging, and even her eyes seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets due to the tightness of the rope...
If a lamp were lit at this moment, she would certainly look terrifying.
Not long after, Yinhua lost her life and didn't even have the chance to scream.
Seeing that she was completely motionless, Ah Xin strangled her again, making sure she was dead, and then he let go of the hemp rope in his hand.
Ah Qing witnessed the whole process beside her and silently gave her a thumbs up.
Then the two of them carefully moved Yinhua's body down from the bed, and hung a thick rope on the beam. Ah Xin's skillful hands tied a knot in the rope. Ah Qing picked up Yinhua's body and hung her head in the knot.
A perfect hanging ghost case was created on the spot.
Ah Xin and Ah Qing took one last look around to make sure nothing was left out before quietly leaving through the secret door.
With the closing of the secret door, this murder case that was destined to have no results officially kicked off the prelude to Mingyue's nightmare in the Yao Kingdom Palace.
The next morning, Mingyue returned to the main hall and was about to ask Yinhua if she heard any unusual noises last night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the room, she saw a body hanged in the main hall.
"ah!!!!!"
Her screams resounded throughout the Yingchun Palace. She subconsciously retreated madly, accidentally falling to the ground in the process, and crawled out using her hands and feet.
When the palace maids and guards rushed over after hearing the noise, they were all stunned by the scene before them.
Yinhua's death in the room was very horrific, her eyeballs seemed to be about to fall out, and her tongue was stretched very long.
The more timid ones were so scared that they started crying on the spot.
Mingyue hid behind the guards, trembling, trying to calm herself down, but she couldn't stop shaking. As if to release the fear in her heart, she shouted loudly: "I said there was a ghost in the middle of the night! You all said there wasn't! And now! How could this person die out of nowhere?!"
Mingyue was terrified when she thought that this was her room. If she hadn't changed her sleeping place last night, would she have died tonight?
Jinzhi was also terrified as she stared at Yinhua's body hanging from the beam. She had been guarding outside the palace last night, and although she had dozed off briefly, she hadn't heard any noise from outside. If Yinhua had hanged herself, she would have stepped on a chair. If she had kicked the chair over, there would have been a loud noise, which would have woken her up, but she hadn't heard anything last night...
Is there really a ghost in this room...
A sharp-eyed guard noticed that there seemed to be a red mark on the back of Yinhua's neck, so he bravely stepped forward to check.
He stepped on a stool and stood at about the same height as the corpse. As expected, there were obvious hemp rope marks on the back of the neck. The marks formed a circle. He murmured, "She seems... to have been strangled..."
When these words were spoken, the palace servants and guards present were all confused.
Several of their guards were on guard everywhere in the palace, including the door of the main hall, where maids were also on duty. No suspicious people were seen last night. Who on earth had the ability to hide from so many people and hang Yinhua in the main hall?
