Chapter 176 The Amulet Given by Sang Zhi
"I have to finish whipping him even if the order is delivered to the palace immediately. Eunuch Li watched me whip him. After more than 30 lashes, Prime Minister Gao fainted. But it's okay. The whipping won't stop. He's lying in the Prime Minister's Office hall now. I don't know whether he's dead or alive."
"You... have caused a big disaster. Do you know that everything you did today is enough to cost you your head?" Sang Zhi panicked.
"It's okay, it's okay. What I'm going to teach you today is how to survive in the cracks and turn the tide."
"You are just dreaming. It's too ridiculous. Even Marquis Xiang Ming can't save you in this matter." Sang Zhi didn't want to listen to her nonsense. His eyes turned red with anxiety.
"If it's not thrilling enough, how can I teach you? Just watch." Ye Qianning already had a plan in mind.
Sang Zhicai didn't believe her, and was full of worry, holding his hand tightly.
"Miss Xiang has arrived at the palace gate." Eunuch Li's voice came.
"kindness."
"Miss Xiang, the palace does not allow secret guards to follow you. Miss Xiang, look..."
Ye Qianning just woke up, and her group was still following. She pulled out her hand and lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Luo Wen, Luo Xuan, you wait for me at the palace gate. The others can go back to the mansion first."
"Yes, Miss."
The hidden guards responded in unison.
The palace gate opened and the carriage slowly entered. The sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs was extremely loud in the middle of the night.
It was Ye Qianning's first time entering the palace, and he couldn't help but lift the curtain to look outside. The huge palace was pitch black. Although there were many palace lanterns, the lighting provided by candles was very poor.
Moreover, after entering the palace gate, there is a very spacious place. Looking around, it is as big as several football fields.
In front of the carriage, a eunuch was holding a lantern, and the faint light illuminated the way forward.
After traveling for about half an hour, the carriage passed through several palace gates before stopping.
"Miss Xiang, please get out of the car."
Ye Qianning responded and was about to get out of the car, but someone suddenly grabbed her hand.
"how?"
"You must be fine." Sang Zhi held her tightly, his voice sounding a little strange.
It was dim inside the car. Ye Qianning had excellent eyesight and could clearly see that the little old man had red eyes. He was very surprised and wondered if he had cried.
"Don't worry."
Sang Zhi didn't let go, and his expression looked as if if he let go, he would never see her again.
"Miss Xiang?" Eunuch Li was anxious.
Sang Zhi held her with one hand and pulled a sachet from his waist with the other: "This is the amulet my mother gave me. Take it with you."
Ye Qianning was both angry and amused. She was not going to the gates of hell, so why did she look like she was going to die?
"Okay, I'll take you. If you don't let go, it will be dawn soon."
Sang Zhi hesitated and let go of his hand: "I'll wait for you to come out."
"kindness."
Ye Qianning nodded, turned around, lifted the car curtain, and was carried out of the car.
It was already past midnight, and the palace was extremely quiet late at night. However, the more she looked, the more eerie it seemed to her, as she had watched many horror movies before.
Most of the scenes are like this, with dim lights, swaying palace lanterns, and a few white cloths hanging, it's simply amazing.
"What are you looking at, Miss?" Eunuch Li asked.
"There's a ghost."
Eunuch Li's whole body trembled suddenly, and he looked around cautiously. It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, it seemed weird no matter how he looked at it.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and several palace lanterns on the wall went out at once.
"It seems there really is a ghost." Ye Qianning repeated.
"Miss Xiang, I'm old, you can't scare me like this." Eunuch Li's heart was pounding, he was scared.
