Chapter 38 Play mahjong and chat!

Hearing this, the guard asked in a low voice: "Prince, then...then should we send some people to secretly follow and protect the princess? After all, she is the eldest sister of the emperor..."

"She is the one who is restless and insists on forcing me, so I will oblige her. Since she is so arrogant and capable, she shouldn't come to me for help. If she is scolded, beaten, or killed, the emperor will not blame me!"

Mu Nanzhou's eyes were gloomy.

The guard was stunned for a moment, and Mu Nanzhou said nothing more and walked away.

The people present knelt down and dared not say a word.

After the guards saw Mu Nanzhou leave, they spoke up: "If anyone dares to spread a word of what happened in Zuikexian today and ruin the prince and the remaining Nanling Palace, the prince will definitely not let you go! Do you hear me?"

"I obey your command!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The man who had just urged Xu Yanyi to pay compensation swallowed his saliva and had to swallow his words.

He dared to stop Xu Yanyi and make things difficult for her only because Xu Yanyi was a woman, and moreover, a destitute princess hated by everyone, the Princess of Nanling who no one cared about.

If it were Mu Nanzhou, he wouldn't dare to say a word and would rather swallow the blame.

*Xu Yanyi gave one or two taels of silver to a child on the road and asked him to go to Nanling Palace to find Xiaoyu.

When Xiaoyu arrived at the location Xu Yanyi mentioned, she was shocked: "Princess, you...you bought this house?"

“Yes, the location and decoration are good, the price is affordable, it’s good.”

Xu Yanyi looked at the plaque on the door: Piaoyunzhai.

A pretty fresh and unconventional name.

Xiaoyu nervously pulled her over and said, "Did the matchmaker cheat you? This place... this place, do you know where it used to be?"

“Yes, a slaughterhouse.”

Xu Yanyi pushed the door open and went in.

The matchmaker has already asked a few people to help clean up the place, and it's pretty clean.

Xiaoyu asked nervously: "But did the matchmaker tell you what kind of slaughterhouse it was?"

"Isn't it about killing pigs and cows?"

Xu Yanyi was a little puzzled. Why did Xiaoyu look so scared?

Xiaoyu was about to cry and stomped her feet in frustration. That matchmaker must be trying to trick Xu Yanyi.

After hesitating for a moment, she could only say: "Princess, this place is a place of killing. When the late emperor was alive, there were nearly a thousand kinds of punishments in Northern Qin. In order to manage and arbitrarily use these punishments, the late emperor opened a place called a dark factory. You should know this."

Well……

Xu Yanyi thought about it and nodded: "I know, you won't say it's here, right?"

Xiaoyu sighed: "It's right here! Princess, don't you see that there is basically no one living around here? It's scary to live next to it.

There were people living here before, but who would dare to live here after hearing the screams and cries coming from the dark factory day and night? You...you came to live in this dark factory directly.

This is not just an ordinary place of execution, it is... a place that uses various tortures that are not suitable for outsiders to see to torture people to death or disability, and the resentment is extremely heavy!"

Xu Yanyi was stunned.

The original owner did know about the existence of this secret factory, but having grown up in the palace under the protection of the late emperor, how could he know so many details?

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the abolition of hundreds of punishments and also abolished the dark factory.

"Princess, let's go find the matchmaker!"

Xiaoyu said anxiously.

Xu Yanyi looked around, but she didn't feel scared, as she had seen dead people before.

Besides, if there are dead people and wronged ghosts, then it is not a bad choice to come out in the middle of the night to play mahjong, chat, and eat some melon seeds.

After all, her soul can be considered a wronged ghost, right?

After all, they are all souls and of the same kind.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

"It's okay. I'm so timid."

Xu Yanyi glared at her, and before she could say anything, Xiaoyu started to cry and wanted to leave: "I will go back to the palace now and ask the prince to let the princess return home!"

"Wait!" Xu Yanyi stopped her, "Are you stupid? He hates me to death and has always treated me as a sinner. I treated him and Li Qiu'er like this today. Do you think he will be nice to you? He doesn't even care about me, the eldest princess, and his wife, let alone a maid like you?"

"But we can't let you live in a place like this!"

Xiaoyu burst into tears, subconsciously feeling that she was useless and could not help her master at all.

Xu Yanyi wiped her tears, and as if she suddenly remembered something, she took out her purse from her arms and pawned her rubies to buy the house, and she still had a lot of money left.

"Take this money and go buy some yellow paper on the street. I will draw a talisman for you myself later. With the talisman I draw, no demons or ghosts will dare to come. Don't worry."

Xu Yanyi blinked and smiled.

Xiaoyu was stunned: "Princess, when did you know these things?"

That's easy to say, she knows a lot of things.

Thinking back then, when she was bored, she studied some ancient Taoist books on her own, and the talismans she drew were absolutely indistinguishable from the real ones.

Once she went to an auction, and the item that sold for the highest price happened to be a batch of utensils that were said to have been handed down from the heyday of ancient Taoism.

But no one expected that all those things were made and painted by her herself.

Well, a boss like her is naturally proficient in everything.

Xu Yanyi was not afraid of any wronged ghosts. Even though Xiaoyu was a little mysterious, she had to do something to appease her fragile heart.

Thinking of this, Xu Yanyi smiled and said, "I know a lot more. You will know it later. I was just hiding my incompetence before."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu looked at her with admiration.

When it was daybreak, Xu Yanyi yawned and went into the house to sleep.

Xiaoyu took the silver and turned around and ran out.

After this sleep, Xu Yanyi slept till night.

Xiaoyu had already bought a lot of yellow paper, cinnabar and other things. Xu Yanyi simply ate something and then began to teach Xiaoyu how to draw talismans. Only after Xiaoyu drew more than a hundred and pasted them all over the yard did Xu Yanyi feel relieved.

Xu Yanyi took a bath and lay on the bed reading a book.

Suddenly, her ears moved instinctively and she frowned.

It seemed like someone came in, not a person, not Xiaoyu.

There is murderous intent!

Xu Yanyi jumped off the bed, tiptoed, and hid in the dark corner of the beam.

clang.

The door was kicked open and several men rushed in with ferocious looks.

"Where's that bitch Xu Yanyi?"

“The bed is still warm!”

"He must still be in the house! Look for him!"

"This bitch relied on her noble status to lead the rebels into the city and kill my father! Since she has been driven out of the Nanling Palace, I will make her pay!"

"I won't let her go!"
