"Later, the young lady disappeared for a long time. When I found her again, she had fainted on the ground. I wanted to have her carried directly back to Kyoto, but she regained consciousness along the way and killed many of the people accompanying her. It was only after my desperate pleading that she spared her life."
After the maid confessed the truth, she fell into a coma.
The Minister of Revenue was horrified and wanted to grab the maid to continue questioning her, but he heard no sound.
He looked up at Gu Yunni, his eyes full of help.
"Princess Consort, wake her up and ask her what happened. Why has my daughter been missing for so long? I spent so much money to invite them back, wasn't it just to let them protect my daughter? In the end, they can't do anything, what a waste!"
Gu Yunni was annoyed by the noise and glared at him. "Keep your voice down! She's already tried her best. Your daughter's disappearance has nothing to do with her. If I'm not mistaken, your daughter must have been possessed by a ghost during the time she was missing. She said that when the young lady didn't listen to her advice, she must have been controlled by the ghost."
She frowned and made a conclusion.
The Imperial Master nodded, and the two of them had basically the same guess.
"So what should we do next? Although we already know the general situation, we don't know the specifics. Why don't we go to that temple and take a look? If we trace it back to the source, it seems that the incident happened in the temple."
The Imperial Master suggested this, and Gu Yunni thought about it but did not agree.
"It's useless to go. Not to mention that we don't know exactly where it happened, even if we did, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find the truth."
"Then what should we do? Can you get rid of the evil spirit in Miss Wang's body first? You can't keep controlling her with talismans, it will have an impact on her body." The national teacher frowned, his tone full of confusion.
"Don't worry, I won't let her get hurt. I'll go first." Gu Yunni said calmly.
After walking for a while, they returned to Wang Ruoqing's yard. The Minister of Revenue was standing behind them, extremely anxious.
"Princess, I'm really sorry to trouble you with this matter today. Don't worry, as long as my daughter is safe and healthy, I will definitely give her a generous thank-you gift. I will have someone carry the things to the Prince's Mansion later."
He moved closer and spoke flatteringly, eager to get Gu Yunni's promise.
"Nothing, I'm here to help the Imperial Master, not for your daughter. No need to send gifts. Wait until my wedding day, and then I'll wait for the Shangshu's gift."
"Of course. When the Crown Princess gets married, I will definitely bring a box of generous gifts."
Gu Yunni had a smile on her lips, and the Minister of Revenue nodded vigorously, as long as he could be of use.
Gu Yunni left Sheng Mingyu and the Minister outside and walked in with the Imperial Master.
Not long after they entered, they heard screams and the howling of evil spirits.
"Let me go immediately! Otherwise, I will summon the little ghosts and make all the people live in unrest! If you anger me, I will completely destroy this woman's body!"
Gu Yunni's lips curled up into a cold smile, "Ha! Your threats are really weak. You can try and see if I can destroy you!"
She spoke nonchalantly, but her eyes were fixed on the other person's movements.
Since she had promised the Shangshu, she would not let Wang Ruoqing die.
"you!"
The evil ghost was so angry that his eyes turned red. Without wasting any words with Gu Yunni, he grabbed Wang Ruoqing's arm.
In the blink of an eye, a long bloodstain was left behind.
Her eyes also turned red, and greed was revealed in her eyes.
"If I had known, I should have made her my target. What's the point of harming so many servants? None of them have such good skin and abundant blood! Thank you so much for putting the best target in front of me!"
The evil ghost said this and wanted to continue casting spells.
Gu Yunni's pupils constricted and she was startled.
"superior!"
She suddenly spoke, and they both rushed forward with talismans in their hands.
Gu Yunni just wanted to provoke the evil spirit, but she didn't really want Wang Ruoqing to get hurt.
"Surround it! Don't let it hurt Wang Ruoqing again."
"Okay." As soon as Gu Yunni finished speaking, the national teacher nodded slightly.
The two flew to the evil ghost as fast as they could. Gu Yunni wanted to use a talisman to control the evil ghost.
But she found that the evil spirit opposite was different from the ones she had encountered before, so she waved her hand lightly and they all flew out.
"puff!"
The imperial teacher fell to his knees and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Gu Yunni also looked pale and shaky.
"No! This evil spirit is more powerful and stronger than the ones we have encountered before. We should be careful and not be impulsive." She forced herself to stand up and warned the imperial teacher.
The two of them stared straight ahead, not daring to miss any movement, for fear that the evil spirit would suddenly riot and directly harm Wang Ruoqing.
The evil ghost let out an awkward laugh, like grinding teeth, which made people feel cold all over.
"You two think you can defeat me? That's ridiculous! I've been traveling around for so many years, I've acquired some great abilities, but what about some small ones? In my eyes, you two are nothing but trash!"
Its words were sarcastic, and Gu Yunni clenched her fists in hatred. After studying the mystical arts for many years, it was indeed rare to see such a powerful ghost.
"With your qualifications, you can wander the human world without any accidents. Why do you still want to occupy her body? She is just a woman and will not be of much help to you."
Gu Yunni took a deep breath and spoke to the evil spirit opposite.
The national teacher also took this opportunity to recover his spiritual energy as quickly as possible.
"I know she can't help, but she has countless people around her. As long as I occupy her body, I can take as much essence and blood as I want, and no one can stop me! Not even you!"
The evil spirit's words were sarcastic, but he had already cultivated his mind, so it was no problem for him to have a normal conversation with Gu Yunni.
"I've heard of your reputation in the mountains before. You must have killed many little ghosts and even a few fierce ghosts. I know those fierce ghosts, they are all idiots! I don't even look at them. You killed them, so there's nothing to be proud of!"
"Oh? I thought evil spirits only knew how to kill and give life, but I didn't expect you to know so much about the affairs of the human world. Then, do you know what my specialty is? You dare to be so arrogant in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will take you in?"
When the Imperial Master saw such a clever evil spirit, he stood beside it with a look of vigilance and a hint of interest in his eyes.
"Of course! In order to survive these years, I have to learn every skill I can. I also know what kind of mysterious people have appeared at the foot of the mountain. It is because of your coercion that I can only stay in the mountain and cannot get freedom!"
His tone was full of hatred, which shocked Gu Yunni.
It's true that the pot comes from the sky while you are still at home. What does this have to do with her?
The Imperial Master also raised an eyebrow. "We haven't subdued demons and monsters in the mountains before. Even if you want to seek revenge, you won't find us. But it's wrong for you to target ordinary people. Don't blame us for being rude."
