"Don't worry, Miss, I'll set off now and wait for you in Qinghe County!" Pei'er said with tears in her eyes.
"Money can be a powerful motivator, so you must keep your banknotes safe..." Lin Feiyan pulled her to a corner, gave her many instructions, and then left with the others.
Early the next morning, Qi Jiu issued an edict to deal with the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, stripping him of his title and confiscating his property!
Those who should be executed should be executed, and those who should be exiled should be exiled.
Lin Feiyan and a few others were demoted to commoners and banished from the capital.
This was an expected outcome, and Ye Xianya did not find anything wrong with it.
The only thing that surprised her was that Qi Chengshuo didn't come when she had her fortune told today.
Because of the cold weather, Ye Xianya did not take Shen Furong with her when she left the palace. At this moment, she could only send a guard to the Prince Duan's residence to inquire.
After all, Qi Chengshuo had a headache yesterday, and Ye Xianya hadn't finished her divination before he left.
She initially thought it was a minor issue, but then the person didn't come today, which seemed a bit odd.
Those who came to Ye Xianya for fortune telling today were all ordinary people, and she finished resolving their issues in just over an hour.
The guards who went to the Prince Duan's residence did not see Qi Chengshuo, but they did see his mother, Wei Shuyu.
The guards told her that Qi Chengshuo was fine, just a little dizzy, so he was resting at the mansion today and that she didn't need to worry.
Ye Xianya, however, was somewhat uneasy.
She had intended to visit the Prince Duan's residence, but instead found a person squatting in a corner of the courtyard.
"The princess has finished her divination for today. Young man, please come back another day," the guard said as he stepped forward.
This is the princess's residence. It's almost time, and they're about to clear the area. They can't let any unauthorized people stay here.
Upon hearing this, the man raised his head, his face covered in claw marks and blood, with flesh and blood between his fingers.
“This…” The guard subconsciously drew his long sword.
This person was actually squatting in this corner, scratching his face until it was bloody and mangled; he might be possessed by an evil spirit.
"Stay away from him!" Ye Xianya quickly said.
"Yes!" The guard quickly stepped back.
"You were able to possess this person's body by chance, allowing you to go out during the day and fulfill your unfulfilled wishes. You should be grateful, not ruin their face." Ye Xianya frowned deeply.
"I am a beautiful woman, possessed by a man. Doesn't the princess feel sorry for me?" the man's voice rang out, his tone soft and weak.
Ye Xianya and the others got goosebumps listening to this.
"Besides... this man is no good either. He takes advantage of his good looks and always goes out to seduce women, cheating them out of their bodies and money. By ruining his face, I am doing a good deed."
Ye Xianya did some quick calculations and realized that this man was indeed no good, so she said no more.
"I am a ghost, Princess, don't you plan to capture me and beat me to a pulp?" The young man hurriedly stepped forward and asked as Ye Xianya was about to leave.
"If you want to die, I can show you the way. Go out of the main street where the princess's mansion is located, and walk another seven or eight miles to the Imperial Observatory. There are plenty of Taoist priests there. They can grant you any death you desire," Ye Xianya said calmly.
This female ghost has already laid bare her secrets; if she weren't innocent and without sins, Ye Xianya wouldn't have bothered to say a word.
If it is a sinful evil spirit, she can simply use magic to seal it away and have it sent to the Imperial Observatory.
“No wonder everyone says that the princess is different from others. Even demons and monsters are no different from ordinary people in the princess’s eyes, as long as they do not harm people,” the female ghost said softly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya stopped in her tracks.
She simply couldn't stand the female ghost with a man's face speaking in a girl's tone.
Ye Xianya used her mystical arts to investigate and was immediately surprised.
She initially thought the female ghost had possessed the man by chance, but the situation was far more complicated than she had imagined.
The woman's soul and the man's body were slowly merging.
She's somewhat like her when she was reborn.
However, Ye Xianya's situation is different from that of this woman.
She has truly been reborn.
The woman gave the impression of a ghost possessing the man, though her soul and body seemed to be merging.
However, because the soul and the body are not compatible, failure is inevitable.
The things in this world are truly bizarre and wonderful.
Not everything has an answer.
Ye Xianya didn't know why this was happening.
"I have come to the princess today to ask for your help in leaving this body. My soul is trapped in this body. I am a woman, and I am so ashamed that I have been possessed by a man. I cannot extricate my soul myself. I have tried every method I can, but to no avail. I beg the princess for your help."
"Have you ever thought that, over time, your soul will completely merge with this body? At that time, you will be reborn, no longer needing to reincarnate in the underworld, and will have a new life. You can even use your current identity to take revenge."
Ye Xianya smiled as she spoke: "Of course, your soul and this body are not quite compatible. It's almost impossible for them to fully merge, but since we've made a start, I can help you. Do you want your soul to leave this body, or do you want to merge completely?"
The female ghost was clearly not expected Ye Xianya to say that, and her eyes widened in surprise.
However, she quickly became agitated: "Princess, I am a woman, how can I become a man? Besides, although this man is not old, only eighteen this year, he takes advantage of being a pretty boy and always likes to seduce married women and live off them. His body... I find it disgusting!"
She absolutely could not accept becoming a man, much less accept having such a filthy body.
"Even if I can't take revenge, I can't... become a man. Please, Princess, help me leave this body. I'd rather be reincarnated than become this person," the female ghost said in terror.
Coupled with his bloodied and mangled face, he looked even more terrifying.
Ye Xianya was amused by her.
The woman was murdered, and before her soul was taken away by the underworld officials, it possessed this man's body. It was quite a strange story.
"Go and take your revenge first. I'll come find you in a few days, let your soul leave this body, and send you to be reincarnated," Ye Xianya said, waving her hand.
The female ghost's face lit up with joy upon hearing Ye Xianya's words: "Thank you, Princess!"
She would certainly be willing to be reincarnated after taking revenge.
The female ghost's name was Ma Cai'er. She lived in the suburbs of Beijing and was the eldest daughter in her family.
Her mother died early, and she had three younger siblings.
To take care of her younger siblings, Ma Cai'er remained unmarried even at the age of eighteen, managing all the affairs of the household.
She was murdered by the girl next door she grew up with.
