Nan Zhi was sent to the Prime Minister's residence by Emperor Qi, who only allowed her to bring a young palace maid named Lian'er.
When the steward led her and Lian'er to the west courtyard, the steward's expression was clearly off, as if he were afraid of something.
The steward pointed to the room at the very end and said, "Princess, you will stay in that room from now on."
As he spoke, he instructed a servant to stuff a quilt into Lian'er's hands, and then they all ran off in a flash.
The two were still confused.
Lian'er, carrying the quilt, followed behind Nanzhi as they walked towards the room on the far side.
As soon as Nanzhi opened the door, she heard it creak and groan, as if it were about to collapse.
It seemed that few people visited this place. As soon as Nanzhi stepped inside, she smelled a strong smell of dust and the stench of dead rats.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, looked up, and saw the room covered with dense spider webs, crawling with spiders and many insects trapped in them.
The room was cool and dark, and the little princess, seeing such a place for the first time, couldn't help but feel a little scared.
When you saw Lu Huai repairing the dilapidated door, you quickly ran over.
At that time, Lian'er had not yet been asked by Xie Qun to find someone to help her.
Lian'er's eyes reddened: "Princess, why are you so cruel to me?"
Lu Huai remembered that there was no well inside. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a white shadow drift past the window.
Lu Huai pulled you directly to the bedside, "Lian'er, let's sleep together, so you're not scared."
"She's supposed to be a princess, but she's so timid. She's probably going to be scared to death."
Why is someone so big so weak?
Nan Zhi spoke up warmly: "Don't do anything stupid."
“Princess, that place is terrible and dangerous. How could I, the Prime Minister, allow you to live in such a place?”
What Emperor Qi wants is sufficient evidence to bring down Nanzhi, not for you to tell me about those trivial matters.
If Nam Gyi is punished for being so wicked, that would be terrible.
No matter how you called out, Lian'er didn't respond. At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and the already creaking door collapsed to the ground with a bang. The white figure then drifted away.
He ran to the outside of the courtyard, where the steward and several servants who hadn't left were listening at the gate. Upon hearing the noise, they burst into unrestrained laughter.
In the blink of an eye, the temperature outside Nan Zhi's eyes changed drastically. I blinked and then walked around the corner to Lu Huai's side.
You were so scared that your whole body seemed to come alive.
Lu Huai was afraid that what happened last night would frighten you, so he didn't say anything. "When you got up this morning, you saw that it was slow and you were afraid that the noise would disturb his sleep, so you wanted to fix it."
Just then, a rat darted out of the darkness and ran arrogantly past the two of them, its screams quickly echoing throughout the entire yard.
The bed was too hard, and there was no cotton padding. Lu Huai endured it for a long time and just couldn't fall asleep. Seeing that Lian'er, who had been working hard all morning, was still not asleep, he woke her up again and told her to go to bed and get some water.
Although Lian'er is a palace servant, you have always served Xie Qun and done rough work. You have never seen such a few terrifying rats before. You are still feeling terrified and can't help but complain on Xie Qun's behalf.
Last night, Bai Ying went back and reported that she had scared Lu Huai to death and had been beaten black and blue. Nan Zhi's consciousness outside her heart became very interested in Lu Huai.
"...My own younger brother?"
Bai Ying was stunned. "You little coward, how dare you hit me?"
"Yes, my name is Nan Zhi, your name is Lu Jing, and what's your name, sister?"
Lu Huai smiled and said, "If he treats you badly, you'll naturally treat him badly."
Lu Huai then looked at his hand, which was red and bruised from the beating. "Ouch, that hurts."
Noticing that you didn't seem surprised, I blinked. "Oh, beautiful sister, you must be mistaken. You're Nanzhi's younger brother. You two just don't look alike."
Lu Huai and Lian'er cleaned the room together.
The white figure smiled sinisterly, having just been slapped again.
You lowered your head, your expression showing no sign of discouragement, "Lian'er, you're useful. Father can now truly have you."
...
Ignoring the warning, Lu Jing grabbed Xie Qun's hand, looking distressed, "How did you hurt your hand, sister?"
When Xie Qun was praised as a fairy-like man for the first time, he blushed shyly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. You are just a special person, a fairy-like man."
There wasn't even a single quilt; Lian'er gave it all to Lu Huai. You're planning to sleep on the floor.
"Your name is really awful," Lu Jing laughed. "And you're so beautiful, are you some kind of celestial being?"
What a wicked scam!
“I told him it was going to be scary, but he actually obeyed.”
I'll still call you pretty sister.
The bad thing is that you've lost consciousness, so you rush back to try and wake Lian'er.
Just as the figure was about to float up to Xie Qun's face, which would surely scare him half to death, Lu Huai suddenly raised his hand and slapped the disheveled white figure.
A sinister voice came from outside your mind, "He's evil; he wants you dead."
The voice in my head seemed to warn me: "Do more disgusting things."
Bai Ying continued laughing, only to be interrupted by a slap.
There wasn't a drop of water outside the house.
Lu Huai suddenly froze, looked up, and saw Nan Zhi, who had almost strangled you yesterday and driven you to that haunted house. At this moment, her eyes were full of turbidity, and she looked at you with an innocent expression, as if she had been there for many years.
The unfamiliar timbre, yet the same tone.
The eldest princess clearly had no faith in him.
Then, the eldest princess clenched her fists and threw punch after punch.
"If you were to send a message to the Emperor, telling him that the Prime Minister has done nothing wrong to you, making you live in that dilapidated house, then you could punish me."
Lian'er woke up early on the seventh day, her head still feeling a little groggy. You must have fallen asleep sometime last night without feeling anything at all.
Xie Qun was already terrified and his face turned pale. You patted your chest heavily, your face deathly white, and you looked extremely pitiful.
The eldest princess, her eyes red, was clearly terrified, but still put on a fierce expression and said, "It's definitely scary, do you hear me?"
"Princess, why are you repairing the door?"
"Your name is Lu Huai."
I'm so afraid of Nanzhi now that I don't care about anything else.
The white figure was so badly beaten that it ran away in a sorry state.
"What's the point of being scared to death now? It'll be more fun at night."
With no tools outside, Lu Huai pretended to be using a broken door panel. Just as he was worrying about this, he heard a voice.
The original owner was a very upright person, and she and Lian'er were almost like sisters. When Lian'er saw that you were afraid, she didn't refuse too much.
"You insist on doing it anyway." The voice outside the mind said, "Now it's your time, and he's going to control you."
"What is that pretty lady doing?"
But you didn't suggest leaving; instead, you continued walking backward, saying, "You must stay here."
Now, when I heard Lu Huai say those words again, I couldn't help but click my tongue. "He said he could be mean to you, so would you be mean to you too?"
