Chapter 445: Ghost
Prince Chilie frowned, very displeased with Abu's foul language. He had no intention of telling Abu the truth, so he ordered his men to keep a good eye on him and was unwilling to talk to him anymore.
After leaving the house, he asked his followers, "Did you catch the wrong person?"
Isn’t it said that Shi Yu is deeply in love with Wei Qingyan and regards Wei Qingyan as his life?
When Shi Yu attacked Beiling, he happened to be in Beiling and had seen Shi Yu.
He was a very handsome man with a noble temperament, like a god in heaven. How could he like such a vulgar person?
The attendant had just heard the conversation clearly from outside the door, and he knew even more clearly that his own prince disliked vulgar women. When he heard the prince's question, he knew what Prince Chilie meant.
He hurriedly took out a portrait of Wei Qingyan from his arms and said, "Look at this portrait, it's the same, there's no sign of disguise, and they've confirmed it's him."
After a pause, the attendant continued, "Your Highness, do you still remember your previous evaluation of Shi Yu?
You said Shi Yu was very likely to be a homosexual, or perhaps Shi Yu had a special fetish at that time, liking female demons who were like men."
Of course Prince Chilie remembered.
At that time, he was on the city wall of Beiling and saw Shi Yu, in order to avenge Wei Qingyan, rushing forward to kill the Beiling soldiers without hesitation.
It is hard to understand such selfless friendship between men.
In addition, among his half-brothers, there is one who only loves men and does not like women, which leads to this conclusion.
But the person just now did look the same as the portrait.
He also received a report from the spy planted in Fengzhao that the people in the Prince's Mansion were digging deep into the ground to find Wei Qingyan.
Since he hadn't arrested the wrong person, he didn't bother to delve into Shi Yu's emotional habits.
He said in a deep voice, "It is rumored that she can see ghosts and has the ability to change fate. Take her to the palace tonight and see her reaction.
Urge Feng Zhao to bring the poisonous insect over here sooner rather than later. I want her to revive Ai Yi as soon as possible."
Ai was the girl he abducted from Fengzhao when he was young. She was the delicate peony that he fell in love with at first sight.
Even when I lose my temper with him, he is like a beautiful yet timid brocade bird on the grassland, with all his gorgeous feathers puffing up.
But she had no deterrent effect on him. Instead, it tickled his heart and made him cherish this stunning flower even more.
There was a flash of hatred in Prince Chilie's eyes, but his Ai Mudan was always thinking about escaping.
Hearing that the woman was pregnant, her heart was settled, but she would rather take his flesh and blood and jump down from the palace like a butterfly among flowers, leaving him forever in the tall building he built for her.
Angry at her for not knowing what was good for her, he immediately demolished the dilapidated building. After becoming the crown prince, he kept countless beautiful women from the Central Plains around him, but no one could replace Ai's place in his heart.
The palace he mentioned was the mansion outside the palace where he lived before he became the crown prince, and it was also the place where Aixiang died.
If ghosts really existed after death, why did he go there countless dark nights but never see his peony?
Was she deliberately avoiding him, or had her soul already returned to her beloved hometown?
Tonight, he wanted Wei Qingyan to show him clearly that if his Peony really left, he would also want Wei Qingyan to try to get her back.
This was his test of Wei Qingyan's ability. No matter how powerful she was rumored to be, he had to verify her ability himself before deciding whether to spare her life.
When Abu was brought to the palace, it was the middle of the night, when the legendary gates of hell were wide open.
Looking at the ruins before him, he recalled the information his brother-in-law had given him: Prince Chilie had abducted the legitimate daughter of a prefect, built a loft for her, and trapped her in it for two years.
After the girl died, the attic was dismantled by Prince Chilie with his bare hands, but since then, Prince Chilie only liked delicate and noble women from the Central Plains.
After a little thought, Abu understood the purpose of his being brought here.
His eyes suddenly turned to a dark place, his expression seemed to be reluctant, and his body leaned towards the dark place, and his arm was slightly raised, as if something was wrapped around his arm.
After closing his eyes for a long time, he suddenly opened them and looked at his followers with anger, "You are indeed a barbarian who eats raw meat and drinks blood. How dare you bully a weak woman."
The follower's heart skipped a beat.
Then I heard him continue, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I will help you."
This is not said to the followers.
The follower felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
Prince Chilie, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and didn't believe it at first, but then he saw that the place where Princess Fengzhao was looking was exactly where Ai fell.
Moreover, he clearly heard Princess Feng Zhao say, "You are also a fool. You stayed here for many years for this child, so why did you take him down with you?"
After that, there was silence for a moment.
It seemed as if Princess Feng Zhao was listening to someone else's story. She was shocked after hearing it, and then she pointed at the attendant with increasing anger, "How dare your bastard prince kidnap the daughter of our Feng Zhao official family? Not only did he kidnap her, but he also failed to protect her, causing her to be murdered by a traitor, resulting in two deaths. What an incompetent waste."
"Shut up."
The attendant shouted, "How dare you insult our prince!"
Abu snorted coldly, "You can't even protect your own woman and child, yet you keep talking about love. What else can you say but incompetence?"
Afterwards, he looked extremely angry and didn't bother to pay attention to his followers. He just said a few words of comfort to the void and then fell silent.
The follower was about to scold Abu again, but saw Prince Chilie signaling him to take his men away.
Abu, who was poisoned by the muscle softening powder, was carried in a hurry, but he knew that his previous act had worked.
As Abu expected, Prince Chilie appeared and walked to the place where Ai fell from the building, and ordered the secret guards behind him, "Go and check."
The secret guard knew that his order was to investigate the truth behind the Central Plains woman's suicide by jumping off the building, but ten years had passed.
"Your Highness, could it be that Wei Qingyan is playing tricks?"
Just at this moment, Prince Chilie seemed to hear a woman sobbing. That voice...that voice was too familiar. It was Ai's voice.
"Did you hear anything?"
The usually daring secret guard turned pale at this moment, "It seems to be... crying..."
This yard has been abandoned since the death of the Central Plains woman. There is not even a maid or servant here on weekdays. How could there be crying sounds?
Could it be that there really is a ghost?
His eyeballs turned to the left inch by inch as his neck turned, but nothing... nothing.
Twisting to the right inch by inch, there shouldn't be anything wrong... right?
"Ah! There's a ghost!"
A trembling cry came from the secret guard's mouth, making him subconsciously draw his knife.
What did he see?
There was actually a white shadow with long hair covering its face on his right.
Just now when he was accompanying the prince in the dark, there was clearly nothing there.
"What did you see?"
When Prince Chi Lie saw the secret guard's reaction, he hurriedly looked in the direction he was looking, but he saw nothing.
So he asked the secret guard.
"A woman."
The secret guard swallowed and said, "A woman with long hair and white clothes is gone now."
But the crying continues.
Prince Chi Lie stared at the place in the dark where he had just seen the white shadow and clenched his fists. He still saw nothing.
But when Ayi jumped off the building, she had long hair and was dressed in white...
After a moment, he gritted his teeth and strode towards the gate of the mansion, "Return to the palace."
