Chapter 37 There's a Ghost Here
As the legitimate son of Prince Su and the future second prince of Daxia, Qi Jinghao is fearless, but today, he experienced a scene that was enough to terrify him for the rest of his life.
After the door was kicked open, more than a dozen women came into view. They seemed startled by the loud noise and looked towards the door at the same time.
If it was a pretty girl, Qi Jinghao wouldn't be scared, but Shen Xun and the others didn't remove their makeup, and their faces looked so weird that they didn't look like human beings.
In addition, the light inside the house is dim, and it looks even more eerie when viewed from the outside.
Can you imagine a scene where a dozen creepy female ghosts are staring at you?
Qi Jinghao said that there was no need to imagine, the scene was right in front of him.
He felt a chill rising from head to toe, and after screaming, he turned and ran away.
But unfortunately, Qi Jinghao tripped over his right foot with his left foot and fell flat on his face.
Qi Jingyin walked slowly. After hearing Qi Jinghao's screams, she hurriedly took a few steps, but saw Qi Jinghao lying on the ground, crawling forward with difficulty.
"Jinghao, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Jingyin quickly stepped forward to help Qi Jinghao up. Seeing that he was covered in mud, Qi Jingyin said distressedly, "Are you hurt? Let's go back. I'll ask someone to get a doctor to check you out."
Going back to see a doctor was a lie, Qi Jingyin just wanted to take Qi Jinghao away from here.
The mother didn't let them get close to these prisoners. If she knew Jing Hao was coming, she would definitely scold him.
Qi Jinghao grabbed her hand and said in horror: "Second sister, there is a ghost in that room!"
Qi Jingyin thought to herself that this was not good. Could it be that her brother had fallen and become stupid?
She pulled Qi Jinghao and said, "Let's run quickly, don't let the ghosts come out and eat us..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Jinghao nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran away.
Qi Jingyin was bumped by him, but fortunately she managed to steady herself in time and was not knocked down.
Everyone in the room: “???”
Qi Yunxi said uncertainly: "Mom, did I hear correctly? Those two people outside said we are...ghosts?"
Shen Xun said: "You heard it right, that's exactly what I said."
Qi Yunxi said angrily: "What? They are the ghosts!"
But when Qi Yunxi looked for a mirror, she had to admit that her makeup at this moment was indeed a ghost makeup that could scare people away.
In the male prisoners' room, Xie Lan wanted to come out and drive Qi Jinghao away, but when he saw that Qi Jinghao's arrogance wilted after just three seconds, he didn't come out.
The post station here is divided into two courtyards, one large and one small. Shen Xun, Su Song and others live in the smaller one.
After Qi Jinghao and Qi Jingyin ran back to the courtyard, they saw Princess Su watching the snow under the eaves.
"Mother," Qi Jinghao ran to Princess Su's side, looking like he was about to cry, "There's a ghost in that yard!"
Princess Su was stunned. "Jinghao, what are you talking about? Where is the ghost?"
Qi Jinghao couldn't wait to say, "In that yard."
He pointed to the small courtyard and said, "There's a ghost there. I wanted to go see the deposed emperor Qi Yunzhou, but I didn't expect to see a ghost in a room..."
Qi Jinghao told the whole story in a flash, and Qi Jingyin couldn't stop him.
Qi Jingyin: “…”
Brother, you’re on your own!
After Qi Jinghao said this, he wanted to ask Princess Su to take people to catch the ghost, but Princess Su was not concerned about this.
"Jinghao, didn't mother forbid you to go there?"
Qi Jinghao finally reacted and explained weakly, "Mother, I just want to..."
"Don't even think about it," Princess Su said coldly, "Forget it this time, but if it happens again, Mother will punish you."
Qi Jinghao wanted to say something, but he saw Princess Su turned to look at Qi Jingyin, "Yin'er, why are you fooling around with your brother? Why don't you put on thick clothes before going out?"
The fire burned on her. Qi Jingyin smiled flatteringly and acted coquettishly with Princess Su: "Mother, I'm not cold."
"You have to wear it even if it's not cold. Come, bring the princess's cloak."
The servant brought out a lilac cloak from the house, and Princess Su put it on Qi Jingyin herself, and also smoothed her hair that was messed up by the wind, creating a heartwarming scene of a loving mother and a filial daughter.
Qi Jinghao clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves, and only when he saw Princess Su beckoning him over did he loosen his fists.
"Jinghao," Princess Su wiped the dirt off his face with a handkerchief, "My mother's tone was a little harsh just now. I was worried that you would be hurt by those prisoners."
Somehow, Princess Su could never like her youngest son Qi Jinghao.
Compared to Qi Jinghao, Princess Su prefers her eldest son Qi Jingyan and daughter Qi Jingyin.
However, Qi Jinghao was her son after all, so Princess Su had to try hard to suppress her displeasure and strive to treat the three children equally.
With the gentle comfort of Princess Su, Qi Jinghao's fear of seeing the "ghost" gradually disappeared, and his rationality returned, and he realized that something was wrong.
How could there be a ghost in broad daylight?
Qi Jinghao said aggrievedly: "Mother, I just thought about it, there are no ghosts in the world. What I saw in that yard must have been those prisoners deliberately trying to scare me."
"Mother, shall we take people to punish those criminals?"
Princess Su: “…”
See, this is why she doesn't like Qi Jinghao.
The son and daughter in front are both well-behaved, sensible and obedient. They will never do anything if they are not allowed to do it.
But Qi Jinghao is a different child.
He is arrogant and disobedient, and sometimes he even doesn't understand what people say. Princess Su really thinks that he was taken away by the wrong parents at birth.
But she thought again, she gave birth in the palace, with the prince and her own confidants guarding her, who would dare to replace her baby?
Seeing that Qi Jinghao insisted on taking revenge, Princess Su had no choice but to follow him to the small courtyard.
It just so happened that she also wanted to meet a few people.
This time with Princess Su, Qi Jinghao was not afraid at all. He stood in the yard and said arrogantly, "Everyone in the room, come out!"
Seeing his arrogant look, Princess Su frowned slightly but said nothing.
There are four rooms in the small courtyard, one of which is where the post officials live. When they heard Qi Jinghao's voice, they hurried out to pay their respects to Princess Su and others.
Soon after, Susong also brought people out, and finally the male and female prisoners came out.
Su Song saw this scene and hurried forward to ask, "Princess, what's going on?"
Princess Su's maid stepped forward and recounted the incident. Finally, Qi Jinghao added, "Anyone who has ever frightened me, please step forward and accept your punishment!"
Su Song ignored him and looked at Princess Su. "Your Majesty, I am not aware of this matter, but I can guarantee that the criminal would not dare to scare the young master. Is there any misunderstanding?"
In fact, what Susong wanted to say was, did Qi Jinghao come here to cause trouble but ended up being abused?
After all, they were in the same yard and heard Qi Jinghao's words "Deposed Emperor Qi Yunzhou".
Qi Jinghao wanted to speak, but Princess Su stopped him. She said, "There is no misunderstanding. My son came to see Qi Yunzhou, but was frightened by him. Where is Qi Yunzhou? I want to talk to him."
