Chapter 44, Riding a Female Ghost's Head as a Horse
Liu Wan met his gaze, her heart was in a panic, and she lowered her head to eat again.
She was indeed playful that year, but she got lost in the palace and came to the cold palace.
It was a very shabby place, out of tune with the prosperity of the palace. At the door, several eunuchs were bullying a little boy.
The little boy was beaten black and blue but he didn't cry, holding tightly to the winter plum branches he had picked.
When they heard that a noble was passing by, the eunuchs stopped and left.
Liu Wan wanted to go over and ask him what happened, but the little boy got up and ran away, and he didn't look back even after falling several times.
He didn't see her.
She followed curiously and found that the window of the cold palace was broken. There was not even a charcoal fire in the middle of winter. The little boy curled up in the corner, found an old cloth to cover his torn shoes, and ate stale cold steamed buns.
His eyes were dark, staring at the winter plum branch in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Wan was found and brought back, but she was really worried about the little boy. Would he not be able to survive such a cold day?
Fortunately, Concubine Ling took her and her aunt past the cold palace, and she clamored for them to go in and take a look.
As soon as the door was opened, they saw the little boy buried in the snow, almost frozen to death.
"It's just a coincidence." Liu Wan smiled faintly.
Xia Siheng kept staring at her, his dark eyes were so hot that it was hard to open your eyes.
He thought, how could it be a coincidence?
Liu Wan has always been well-behaved and gentle. She would never quarrel in front of the elders unless it was intentional.
He thought that the relationship between him and Liu Wan only existed because he was grateful to Madam Susu.
And when he felt pity for Liu Wan, Xia Siheng always convinced himself that it was out of gratitude.
No one would have thought that they were destined from the beginning.
It was Liu Wan who pulled him out of the abyss.
Xia Siheng suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled bitterly, secretly feeling lucky in his heart that fortunately he broke his own principles and saved her that night when she was harmed by someone.
Fortunately, his bond with Liu Wan has added a child.
Everything is not too late.
"But fortunately, Xie Jin'an treats you well, and the family of the Marquis is barely worthy of you. Back then, I wanted to go to the Liu Mansion and ask for Heng'er..."
"Mother, it's all in the past."
Xia Siheng interrupted Concubine Ling.
Mother is really something. Why did she bring up this for no reason? Not to mention that Liu Wan would feel embarrassed as a married woman.
He didn't want anyone to know about what happened back then.
A few years ago, the royal family searched for famous ladies for him, but he never liked any of them and stubbornly waited for Madam Susu to propose marriage for him.
When Liu Wan reached the age of marriage, the emperor sent him to fight, and when he came back, Liu Wan was already married.
Perhaps, he didn't see her from the beginning. He
might not be able to see her in this lifetime.
Xia Siheng's heart sank, and he felt a little regretful. He should have been here earlier.
After the group finished their meal, the stars were already shining outside.
Xia Siheng couldn't keep her. Staying overnight would not be good for her reputation, and ghosts were dangerous. Although his daughter had some magical powers, Liu Wan was just a weak woman after all. But
as soon as Liu Wan left, he saw Concubine Ling fall on the couch, twitching all over.
"Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you? Go and call the imperial physician, no, find Master Yuantong! Quick!"
Xia Siheng felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind. He turned around and saw a woman in white, with long hair covering her face and no feet!
He remembered Wanwan's voice, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "If you want to touch Concubine Ling, I want to see if you have the ability!"
After saying that, he put the black jade pendant on Concubine Ling.
This was a black jade stone given to him by an old man when he passed by the foot of Tianshan Mountain during his expedition. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits and save lives, and is immune to all poisons.
He didn't believe it at first, but when he was shot by an arrow, the black jade blocked it for him and broke into two pieces.
He took the thing to Jinshan Temple for consecration, and then asked someone to make two jade pendants, one for Xiao Wanwan and one for himself.
Master Yuantong said that this thing was given by God to ward off all evil spirits and prevent all disasters.
Now he gave the thing to Concubine Ling, and a faint white light surrounded Concubine Ling.
The female ghost couldn't get close, and she wailed and rushed more and more fiercely.
If this woman's life cannot be taken tonight, then she will be reduced to ashes.
The power of Xuanyu gradually weakened, Xia Siheng laughed at himself, and then rushed out regardless of everything.
He stopped Liu Wan who was returning to the fifth princess's bedroom, and Liu Wan looked at him in surprise.
"Don't go yet!"
"Lend me the child!"
Liu Wan: ·······
Xia Wanwan knew that something must have happened to Concubine Ling.
[Oh, I forgot to tell mother that Aunt Concubine Ling is entangled by a ghost and will not survive tonight. ]
[I don't want Aunt Concubine Ling to get into trouble. She is the first person who gave me meat. ]
[But if mother is willing to give me to the villain uncle, maybe Aunt Concubine Ling can survive. 】
Liu Wan was so scared that her hands trembled, and she stuffed the little girl directly into Xia Siheng's arms.
She trusted her daughter unconditionally.
She also believed that with the character of the Ninth Prince, he would never let her daughter get into trouble.
But she was still worried, and was supported by Panchun, and hurried to keep up with the Ninth Prince's pace.
"Grandma, it's late. If this incident tonight gets out, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation." Panchun advised as she walked.
"Grandma, rush, Concubine Ling must have been in trouble. Reputation is a small matter, but the young lady and the concubine are a big deal!" Wangxia almost carried Liu Wan and ran.
But no matter how fast they walked, they were just female relatives, how could they beat Xia Siheng's flying skills. wωω.ξìйgyuTxt.иeΤXia
Wanwan was held by Xia Siheng and ran all the way back to Concubine Ling's bedroom.
When he found that the female ghost was not in the room, he immediately put down the child and came to Concubine Ling.
Xia Wanwan's nose twitched, her eyes lit up, and she used her hands and feet to crawl out.
Outside the bedroom, there was a wailing sound like a pig being slaughtered, and the palace maids were so scared that they looked for a place to hide.
Oh my.
What did they see?
They saw a little baby climbing on the white-clothed female ghost, and then took her head off.
Xia Wanwan rode the female ghost's head to the ground, climbed up again, grabbed the female ghost's hair and rode a horse for fun!
"Drive... Drive..."
[Huh? This ghost is so useless, why doesn't it leave? ]
She was almost crying in anxiety, and looked at the female ghost's body with grievance.
The female ghost was still squatting on the ground, touching everywhere with her hands, anxiously looking for her head.
"Ahh, my head, give my head back to me!"
"Drive..."
"Where did you come from, you stinky baby, riding everything will only hurt you..."
"Drive..."
Seeing that she didn't move, Xia Wanwan slapped the ghost girl's head hard.
She lowered her little head, lifted the ghost girl's hair, and asked her, "Play... Play..."
The ghost girl wailed sharply because of the baby.
The main thing is that this baby is not like an ordinary child. Every slap she made is accompanied by spiritual power.
The pain made her already cracked mouth even more grim.
The body finally touched her head. Xia Wanwan pouted and punched her back.
"Ancestor, you are my ancestor, please let me go!"
The ghost girl cried. She already had no legs, and now she was going to lose her head.
"Go... drive!"
Xia Wanwan slapped her head.
The ghost girl rolled her head and ran away.
Xia Wanwan had a lot of fun and showed a bright and satisfied smile.
She rode the ghost girl's head all the way to Xia Siheng, turned over and got off the horse, pointed at the ghost girl's head, "Wo... send... mud."
