"Your Highness, how about I help you go back and rest first?" Gu Jiu asked worriedly.
Although Cang Tingchen spoke toughly, his body couldn't stop shaking. After all, he had never encountered such a weird thing before.
"Okay, I will let her go today!" Cang Tingchen snorted angrily, turned around and walked towards the study: "Gu Jiu, have someone close all the doors and windows."
"yes."
Gu Jiu was worried about Prince Mo, so he sent many people to guard outside the study.
Soon, someone came from the palace. Concubine Xuan came with the imperial physician herself and asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Jiu immediately bowed respectfully: "Greetings to the Concubine Xuan, for some reason today the prince sees all women as Ye Xingchen, it seems like he is possessed by evil spirits."
"Nonsense! How could he be possessed when he was fine? It must be because you servants didn't do your job well and are shirking your responsibilities." Concubine Xuan snorted coldly.
She heard about what happened today, and she also knew that Prince Mo killed Ye Xingchen, but Ye Xingchen was just the daughter of a merchant. Concubine Xuan had always looked down on Ye Xingchen, so she didn't think her son had done anything wrong. The worst that could happen was that she would just give the Ye family more compensation.
When Concubine Xuan heard Luo Bing say that Prince Mo was possessed by evil spirits, she became extremely worried and did not bother to pretend to be unconscious. She immediately put on a cloak and rushed directly to Prince Mo's mansion.
"Open the door!" Princess Xuan ordered.
"Yes." Gu Jiu immediately pushed open the door.
There were many candles lit in the room, making it as bright as day. Looking inside, King Mo was hiding on the bed, covered with a quilt, holding a sword in his hand, trembling as if he was afraid of something.
Concubine Xuan had never seen her son like this before, and she felt extremely distressed: "Chen'er, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as the voice came out, King Mo on the bed looked over and his face suddenly changed: "Ye Xingchen, you damn woman dare to come here, this king will kill you!"
Cang Tingchen cursed and was about to rush over to chop people.
Concubine Xuan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Your Majesty, be careful." Luo Bing, who followed in, pulled Concubine Xuan to the side and avoided the sword.
Gu Jiu also stood in front of Concubine Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, the prince's condition is very bad. In his eyes, all women are Ye Xingchen, so please make a decision as soon as possible." As he said that, he immediately pressed the acupoints of Prince Mo.
Now Concubine Xuan had to believe it. If it weren't for Luo Bing, Prince Mo's sword would have definitely hit her.
"Gu Jiu, you bastard, untie my acupoints immediately. I am going to kill Ye Xingchen and grind her into ashes!" Prince Mo roared, glaring at Concubine Xuan fiercely.
In his eyes, Concubine Xuan at this moment is Ye Xingchen.
"How could this happen? How could Chen'er become like this?" Concubine Xuan was extremely worried.
"Your Majesty, after the prince returned home today and the concubine came over, the prince started to behave abnormally. Then he locked up all the women from the backyard who came to the side courtyard." Gu Jiu replied.
Concubine Xuan's face turned cold: "It's another concubine. Bring her to me immediately!"
"yes."
After a while, two guards came over carrying the concubine: "Madam, the person is here." Then they threw her on the ground.
Concubine Xuan was really shocked when she saw the concubine lying motionless on the ground.
At this moment, Fu Yurou no longer looked as dignified as usual. Her dress was stained blood red, her hair was disheveled, her nose and face were swollen like a pig's head, and her appearance could not be recognized. She looked very miserable.
"Wake her up." Concubine Xuan snorted angrily.
"Yes." A guard came over with a tray of cold water and poured it all over Fu Yurou.
Fu Yurou, who had fainted, finally woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Concubine Xuan in front of her. She immediately begged for mercy: "My Lady Concubine Xuan, please save me. The prince is crazy and wants to beat me to death."
"What did you say to Chen'er? Why did he become like this?" Concubine Xuan glared at him.
"My Queen, I was just massaging the prince's shoulders, just like usual. Then he suddenly pointed at me and cursed me for being a damned Ye Xingchen, pretending to be me to seduce you. Then he started punching and kicking me. I have no idea what's going on. Please save me, Queen." Fu Yurou begged for mercy.
Concubine Xuan frowned and said, "So, the root of everything lies with Ye Xingchen."
"Ye Xingchen, even if you become a ghost, I will not let you go. I will make your soul fly away!" King Mo roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, although Ye Xingchen was not favored by the prince, her death was in vain after all. Why not ask some enlightened monks or Taoists to perform a ritual for her?" Luo Bing suggested in a low voice.
How could Concubine Xuan not know: "This is the only way now."
As they were talking, two guards came running in, "Greetings, Madam Xuan, I have invited the senior monks from Baoguo Temple. I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo had asked them to perform a ritual for Master Yan."
Concubine Xuan looked at the bald monks and said, "Go and perform the ritual immediately to help Ye Xingchen pass away."
"Yes! May I ask where Ye Xingchen had the accident? We also need things that the deceased used during his lifetime." asked a monk.
"Come with me." Gu Jiu personally led the monks to the entrance of Prince Mo's Mansion, and asked the maid to bring the clothes and handkerchief that Ye Xingchen had worn when he was alive.
Several monks placed the things at the place where Ye Xingchen had the accident, and asked someone to put Mo Wang inside. Then the monks formed a circle and began to chant scriptures and perform rituals.
Concubine Xuan looked at her son worriedly, praying in her heart that God would protect Chen'er and make him wake up.
In the huge courtyard, there was no other sound except the sound of monks chanting.
Time passed little by little, and suddenly a cold wind blew, and the whistling sound seemed to be mixed with crying, which made people feel creepy.
The cold wind grew stronger and stronger, making it impossible for people to open their eyes, and finally blew away the monks who were chanting sutras.
This scene scared everyone.
The Mo King in the middle turned pale and was blown down by the cold wind. His body was shaking violently, and his eyes were wide open: "Ye Xingchen, don't come over. I have never thought of killing you. It's you who didn't know how to behave. It has nothing to do with me--------"
Seeing this, Gu Jiu immediately helped King Mo to unblock his acupuncture points. King Mo did not even bother to settle accounts with Gu Jiu. He was so scared that he rolled over and crawled: "Ye Xingchen, it's Ye Xingchen's ghost who is here. She is here to take my life. Gu Jiu, come, come and protect me!"
Concubine Xuan was also shocked: "Aren't you a high-ranking monk? How come you can't even subdue Ye Xingchen?"
"Your Majesty, if a person dies too tragically or too unjustly, he or she will indeed turn into a ghost and come back to claim life." A noble man answered tremblingly.
Concubine Xuan froze, and there was a hint of panic between her brows: "Then how do we resolve this?"
"King Xuan has to go to the deceased in person to apologize, and he has to bring tribute and sincerity. As for whether he can be forgiven, it is hard to say." The monk replied.
"What? You want my son to apologize to Ye Xingchen? Impossible!" Concubine Xuan refused immediately.
A gust of cold wind blew and blew Concubine Xuan to the side, causing her to hit a pillar. A big bump appeared on her head on the spot.
The monk was shocked and said, "It's the ghost of the deceased. Let's run for our lives." After saying that, he ran away immediately.
