Hearing this, the housekeeper just smiled and then said: "I thought Lord Lu didn't believe in these ghost stories. This was originally where the servants lived. As a result, a maid was punished too severely by Concubine Mu. She felt that she couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself here. It is rumored that someone heard a woman crying here. Gradually, no one wanted to live here, and this small courtyard was naturally abandoned. Later, the prince said that since everyone is afraid, it would be better to lock up those who made mistakes here. After being taught a lesson and knowing fear, they will naturally not make mistakes again."
After listening to the housekeeper's explanation, Lu Wan shuddered inexplicably and couldn't help but think of the stern face of Shen Yan that he saw when he first crossed over.
He is truly worthy of being called a cruel and merciless king. His methods of punishing people are so sinister and terrifying.
Just as Lu Wan was thinking this, the butler had already opened the room where the guard was imprisoned. When he looked from outside, he saw that the guard was tied up. When he felt the cold wind blowing on his face, he immediately showed a look of horror.
Hearing someone coming in, the guard struggled to his knees.
"I know I was wrong, please spare my life, sir. Please spare my life, sir!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed towards the door.
The butler sneered and said, "Are you worthy of seeing the prince when you are such a traitor?"
Hearing the voice, the guard realized that it was the butler who came, and quickly crawled to where the butler was standing, begging for mercy: "Master Butler! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Please say a few good words in front of the prince and let me go! I don't want to stay here anymore!"
Listening to his plea for mercy, the butler remained calm and scolded: "Do you know what you have done?"
Hearing this, the guard thought there was room for maneuver and quickly replied: "I plead guilty, sir, I plead guilty! I shouldn't have put the abortion drug in the concubine's food!"
When Lu Wan heard about the abortion pill, she got angry and frowned, saying, "You really know that it is an abortion pill, but we have no grudges against each other, why do you want to harm me? Is there someone behind you?"
"Are you Lord Lu?"
The guard obviously knew Lu Wan. After hearing Lu Wan's voice, he quickly recognized his identity. It was just because he recognized his identity that he was surprised. "But aren't you a man? That's an abortion pill... It shouldn't be..."
When saying these words, the guard suddenly remembered a rumor in the palace, that the current Lord Lu is possessed by the deceased princess, so when other people see Lord Lu, they think he is similar to the princess.
The guard didn't believe such rumors at first, but after hearing Lu Wan's words, the hair on his back stood up straight in just a moment, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
