Lan Linxue burst out laughing when she heard the words "female ghost".
He hadn't forgotten the first time he met the Qu sisters; these two little women were the truest ghosts, their feet barely touching the ground.
"No, Master, it really is a female ghost!"
When Qu Ling'er saw Lan Linxue's disbelieving look, and even Qin Kou'er's face full of doubt, she couldn't help but shout anxiously.
Qin Kou'er knew that the Qu sisters were neither cowards nor people who spoke without reason. If they said there was a female ghost, then even if there really wasn't a female ghost, there must be something that was actually disguised as a female ghost to scare people.
But why would such a strange situation occur in a perfectly good abandoned palace? Even if Lan Shanyang missed his former wife and rebuilt and repaired the palace, he would never have created so many secret passages, much less make it look like the Qin family's palace back then. There is something truly strange about this.
Qin Kou'er was the first to walk into the room and sit down, her expression cold.
Lan Linxue didn't say a word either, but from the slight upturn of his lips, it was clear that he didn't believe in the matter at all.
Hai Tian followed him back; the thrilling events of the morning had actually amused him. It was his first time getting so close to royalty, and he found their methods utterly disgusting.
The Qu sisters silently followed Qin Kou'er into the house.
After Qin Kou'er sat down, she whispered to Hai Tian, "Go and call Yan Nuo in."
Hai Tian didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked out to call Jun Yannuo.
Lan Linxue was not satisfied.
"Why did you call him over?"
Qin Kou'er raised her head, looking at Lan Linxue with a somewhat gloomy expression. "This matter is rather strange. Of course, I need to discuss it with the chief steward of Qin Tian Pavilion! Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Lan Linxue immediately snorted coldly, indicating her dissatisfaction with Qin Kou'er's statement.
Qin Kou'er looked at Lan Linxue and asked with some curiosity, "Haven't you visited your mother's palace all these years?"
Lan Linxue immediately shook her head, her expression turning sour. "That's Father Emperor's forbidden area! No one is allowed to go there. When I was little, I did go in once when I was being naughty, but back then there weren't any of the traps you're talking about. Later, when I was about seventeen or eighteen, Father Emperor did carry out a large-scale renovation, but nobody knows what it turned out like! After the renovation, Father Emperor sealed it off! Only he can go in! And it's heavily guarded every day!"
"Such a big change and you're not even a little curious?"
Qin Kou'er really couldn't stand Lan Linxue anymore. She didn't know whether to call him smart or stupid. In short, he was incredibly stupid when he should have been smart.
Lan Linxue immediately rolled her eyes, looking at Qin Kou'er with an innocent expression: "My father would do anything with my mother. Asking is useless! Besides, you've seen it all, so you're not curious anymore! I thought he was just going crazy with longing again, so he could only find comfort by altering things that belonged to my mother when she was alive!"
At this point, Lan Linxue stroked her chin, "But now it seems that my father has other plans inside! Otherwise, why would he build so many secret passages in an abandoned palace?!"
"Based on your understanding of your father, what do you think his purpose was in doing this?"
Lan Linxue thought for a moment, then suddenly gave a wicked smile and looked at Qin Kou'er, saying in a somewhat irreverent tone, "Is he hiding a mistress in there? Or is he secretly saving up for his retirement without me knowing?"
This time, not only Qin Kou'er, but everyone in the room gave him a sharp look. Is it really interesting to make such a joke at a time like this?
Lan Linxue herself felt a bit bored, and couldn't help but touch her nose, muttering softly, "Why are we all so nervous? If we really want to go, we should just go tonight! What's the point of all this guessing?"
As a group of people were talking, Hai Tian hurriedly walked in with Jun Yannuo.
When Qin Kou'er saw Jun Yannuo arrive, she nodded to the Qu sisters and said, "Tell me in detail what happened, what exactly happened."
On the way here, Jun Yannuo had heard Hai Tian explain the situation in general, so he habitually went to sit down next to Qin Kou'er.
However, Lan Linxue stood up abruptly, ran directly to the seat next to Qin Kou'er, plopped down, and glared at Jun Yannuo infuriatingly.
Even with Jun Yannuo's good temper, he couldn't help but glare at Lan Linxue. How childish!
He walked to the spot where Lan Linxue had just sat down and looked up at the Qu sisters with a serious expression.
Qu Feng'er frowned and said slowly after everyone was seated: "Ling'er and I followed the instructions of the Pavilion Master and quietly moved over there while there were many people around."
From a distance, we could tell that the guards there were very tight, making it impossible to get close easily. So, the two of us used our lightness skills to sneak through a gap.
There was no way to get close from the front. We found a secluded corner, and then, when no one was looking, we climbed over.
Everyone listened intently to Qu Feng'er's description, wondering what kind of changes would occur.
"But as soon as we went in, we almost fell into the water," Qu Ling'er said indignantly. "Who knew there was a small pond next to the courtyard over there? If my sister hadn't pulled me in, I would have fallen right in."
Qu Ling'er was still indignant when she said this.
Qin Kou'er frowned and exchanged a glance with Jun Yannuo.
