Chapter 56: Ghost Hunting Plan 2
Wen Wanyu walked into the yard with light steps.
The "female ghost" walked into the trap set by Xiao Quanzi and was hit on the head by the falling iron basin.
The ghost girl was so stunned that she didn't even notice someone was behind her. As she got closer, Wen Wanyu could still hear the ghost girl complaining:
Which idiot put a basin on the railing. It hurts so much.
Wen Wanyu: It's me ()
The ghost girl dusted herself off, stood up, turned around, and stared in amazement, her pupils trembling violently! She, she, she saw a real ghost.
It took him a few seconds to react, but his body seemed to be immobilized. He covered his eyes, his tongue tied, and said, "Ghost, ghost, ghost."
Wen Wanyu held back her laughter. She thought he was so powerful, pretending to be a ghost, but he was still so timid.
Her loose hair covered her face, and she approached quickly with small steps under her white skirt. She looked just like a female ghost.
She stretched out her hands and grabbed the neck of the "female ghost".
The 'female ghost' felt the hand on her neck was extremely cold, and her blood froze.
"ah--"
She turned around and wanted to escape, but her clothes were tightly grasped and she couldn't escape.
Wen Wanyu squeezed her throat: "Give me back my life——"
The ghost girl fell to the ground with her legs limp, holding her head. "No, no, no, don't come looking for me. I don't know anything."
Wen Wanyu scratched the ghost's back with her fingernails: "Give me back my life—it hurts so much—"
The ghost girl jumped around like a live shrimp, screaming and saying:
"I didn't kill you. Every wrong has its perpetrator. Go find someone else."
The 'female ghost' was really scared, and her voice was filled with tears.
"It hurts so much! I was cut three thousand times." Wen Wanyu took out the blood bag he had prepared in advance and squeezed a few drops on the "female ghost".
The ghost girl curled up, her head exploding. She was the palace maid who had been executed by lingchi. She had actually attracted the real ghost by pretending to be a ghost.
Wen Wanyu stopped scaring her. If she continued to scare her, she would really faint. It would be more trouble than it was worth.
The voice was filled with resentment: "Why are you pretending to be me? Why? Why? Give me back my life--"
The ghost girl kowtowed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This wasn't what I wanted to do. They forced me to do it. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pretended to be you. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Go find Concubine Wan. She made me do all this."
The 'ghost girl' almost cried.
Wen Wanyu was stunned. Concubine Wan? Why would Concubine Wan have someone pretend to be a ghost? What was her purpose? Why would Concubine Wan get involved in this mess?
Is this 'female ghost' telling the truth or a lie?
"You lied! I'm going to take you to hell!"
Then he squeezed the blood bag again, and "biu" the blood bag burst, and all the blood sprayed on the "ghost girl's" body, mixed with her resentful questioning voice.
The 'female ghost' simply believed it and told the truth.
"I didn't lie to you. It's really Concubine Wan. Wuwuwu, please don't kill me."
Wen Wanyu thought for a while and confirmed that the "female ghost" was not lying.
She brushed aside her hair, threw away the blood bag, and spoke in a normal voice: "Xiao Quanzi, Bai Su, and Qing Dai, come out."
Huang Haiquan, Qingdai and Bai Su ran out.
The 'female ghost' raised her head tremblingly and met Wen Wanyu's half-smile. She glanced at Wen Wanyu's clothes and the blood bag on the ground, and immediately realized that she had been deceived.
At this moment I don’t know whether to be happy or cry.
Wen Wanyu said to her, "They all heard what you just said. Tomorrow morning, I will go and ask the Queen for instructions."
The 'female ghost' stood there in a daze.
Then he said weakly: "Just now, I was frightened and said nonsense..."
Wen Wanyu ignored her.
He squatted beside her, looked at her carefully, and said with a click of his tongue: "She looks like a ghost."
"Unfortunately, compared to me, you're still a little behind."
She is not a professional actor, but she has watched at least eight or ten similar TV series.
Playing a ghost is easy.
"Tell me, what are you doing in my Changlixuan?"
Female ghost: "Concubine Wan asked me to come here."
"Then why did you go and scare Concubine Jin?"
The ghost girl spoke frankly, "Concubine Wan asked me to scare her and test her to see if she was the one who poisoned her."
Wen Wanyu was tired of squatting, so he just sat down: "Is the ghost I just pretended to be real? Is it scary?"
The ghost girl's lips trembled: "Yeah. It scared me to death."
"May I have your name?"
"My name is An Liu."
Wen Wanyu asked her curiously, "I'm curious, why are you pretending to be a ghost when you're so timid?"
Bai Su listened carefully: "I want to know too."
An Liu said honestly, "Because Concubine Wan told me that there are no ghosts in the world. And if I pretend to be a ghost for a day, I will get one ounce of gold."
One ounce of gold was worth 1,800 RMB. Just dressing up as a ghost at night would earn her 1,800! If she were Wen Wanyu, she'd do it too! It was totally worth it.
Huang Haiquan watched as his young mistress and the 'female ghost' chatted naturally. It took nearly an hour, and before they knew it, it was almost dawn.
He coughed lightly and reminded, "My lady, it's almost time for the ugly hour!"
Wen Wanyu stood up and dusted himself off: "Alright. Let's take her to the woodshed first."
Just as he was about to leave, he felt someone grabbing the corner of his clothes.
An Liu grabbed the corner of her clothes, tears in her eyes: "Can you save my life?"
Wen Wanyu was silent for a while: "I'll try my best."
…
Day 2
After Xie Junyao left the court, he learned that the "female ghost" had been captured. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Did the Queen do it?"
"Uh..." Li Dexian shook his head, his expression difficult to describe: "It's Concubine Ling."
Xie Junyao was stunned: "Jieyu Ling?"
He could never have guessed that it was Wen Wanyu.
Not to mention him, Li Dexian was also in disbelief when he heard it and asked three times.
"Tell me about it."
Li Dexian told Xie Junyao about the process of "catching ghosts".
Xie Junyao couldn't help but smile: "She has a lot of little ideas."
"Where is Concubine Ling?"
"Still in Fengyi Palace."
Xie Junyao smiled, looking very happy. Li Dexian said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, the person pretending to be a ghost has revealed the mastermind behind the incident—Empress Wan."
Xie Junyao frowned immediately: "Wan Fei?"
"Leave it to the Queen."
He doesn't want to care about it anymore. He feels annoyed and tired.
Xie Junyao: "Ask Concubine Ling to come to Chengqian Palace."
"yes."
When Wen Wanyu was called to Chengqian Palace, she was still jumping around because of yesterday's "ghost catching incident", she received a lot of people's admiration. Concubine Jin also changed her usual behavior and held her hand and kept thanking her.
