After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 177 Haunted

In the evening, Yuan Qing brought Mu Xiaoxiao to him and stuffed a white dress into her arms.

Mu Xiaoxiao was confused, "Master, this is..."

"Come with me tonight to do something big," Yuan Qing pursed his lips, "This is the battle robe for you. When you put it on, your killing power will be a hundred times greater, and everyone will be afraid of you."

"Okay, okay," Mu Xiaoxiao was particularly excited when she heard that something big was going to happen. "Then when are we leaving?"

Just as she was about to unfold the dress, Yuan Qing raised his hand and pushed it back.

"Don't look at it now. If you look at it now, it won't work." Yuan Qing said mysteriously, "Wait until midnight. Midnight is when the power of the moonlight is at its strongest, and it matches this battle robe perfectly. At that time, you can exert the greatest power."

Although Mu Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Yuan Qing said, she still felt that what Yuan Qing said sounded very impressive. She was afraid that the "battle robe" would be damaged, so she quickly put it in her arms.

Seeing that she looked like she had obtained a treasure, Yuan Qing couldn't help but feel that his move was a bit mean.

Well, I hope she doesn’t beat herself to death after she finds out.

Mu Xiaoxiao stayed in the room, counting the time. When she heard Yuan Qing's secret signal, she hurried out of the yard.

"Are you leaving?"

Yuan Qing nodded and pointed to the side, saying, "No need to hurry, the place is right next door."

Mu Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling, so she suppressed her twitching eyelids and asked in a low voice, "Master...Master, can I not go?"

It's not that she's timid, she's just not ready.

Well, that's it, so it's okay to come again during the day.

When Yuan Qing saw her about to leave, he grabbed her wrist and said quietly, "No, you have already signed a contract with the Moon Goddess and cannot give up halfway. What's more, you have already accepted her thank-you gift."

Yuan Qing pointed to the white dress she was already wearing.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt her eyelids were drooping at this moment, she clung to Yuan Qing tightly and refused to let go.

"What should we do?"

She is no longer stubborn and has admitted that she is a coward. Kind brothers and sisters, can you please let her go for the sake of her innocence, cuteness and charm?

How about she bring some more gifts to pay her respects some other day?

Yuan Qing suppressed his laughter, patted her hands and said, "I'll go inside, you just need to wander around outside the yard. Your Qinggong is better than mine, don't let people see that it's real. It's best to make it flash by, that's the most effective."

Hearing that she didn't have to stay in there alone, Mu Xiaoxiao's trembling heart slowly calmed down.

But soon, she stopped laughing.

As soon as I walked to the foot of the wall, I heard an extremely sad and ethereal singing voice floating out from inside. The sound seemed to be able to penetrate into the cracks between people's bones through the cool night breeze.

Although it is not winter, one inexplicably feels as if a chill is crawling up one's spine.

Mu Xiaoxiao shuddered and immediately lost her balance. She could only move slowly while holding onto the wall.

She had never thought that her master would dare to play such a big game. Her poor little darling was simply devastated!!!

In the past, there were still many pedestrians passing by the "haunted house", but after the "haunting" last night, it is now difficult to see a single person even ten miles away.

Yuan Qing is right in front of the "haunted house", and the two places are only separated by a street.

Yuan Bo had returned to the Yuan Mansion a few days ago. He wanted to go home and have a good rest, but when he was half asleep, he heard the singing coming from behind the house.

He tossed and turned for several hours, and finally spent the rest of the night in the study.

The servants of Yuan Mansion got up early to clean the yard. As their masters were busy and had no time to look after them, they became a little lazy and just gathered together with their brooms to talk about the strange things that happened last night.

"Are there any buildings near here?"

"No, the people living near here are all high-ranking officials. How can those low-class places enter such a place? They are courting death, aren't they?"

"That's weird. If there's no girls singing in the building, then where does the singing come from? Well, it sounds creepy."

"That's right. My wife was so scared that she couldn't sleep all night. She insisted that I stay up with her. Look, I can hardly open my eyes now. I have to sleep for a while when I go back, otherwise I won't be able to hold on. Please talk to the manager for me."

"That's no problem," the man agreed readily.

Yuan Bai came out of the study, and the servant brought a basin in and helped Yuan Bai wash his face.

Yuan Bo felt more refreshed. Seeing the servant in front of him looking a little listless, he asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"

The servant was frightened and the sleepiness immediately disappeared. When he heard the question, he thought he had made a mistake, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Please forgive me, sir. I just got up a little late, so I am a little sleepy. I——"

Yuan Bo handed him the face towel after wiping it, "What are you afraid of? I'm not blaming you. We've rarely been home these days. Clean up the house and do what you need to do. Then go back and have a rest. We don't have so many rules in our house."

After saying that, he looked down at the boy and said with a smile, "New here?"

The servant raised his head slightly and saw Yuan Bo's smiling bearded face.

It is beautiful, but why are the Prime Minister’s eyes blue?

He took a look and lowered his head, "Yes, the little one just came a few days ago."

"No wonder I haven't seen you before," Yuan Bo adjusted his belt, "Go and do your own thing. I don't need anyone to serve me here."

The servant bowed and retreated.

I thought that the host had a pretty good temper and was not as overbearing as outsiders said.

Yuan Bo listened to the song and thought about it all night, and finally figured out the cause and effect.

He took a deep breath and decided to put his official duties aside and focus on catching that dead girl first.

Lu Zhao rested at home for several days. Because of his bad temper and sharp tongue, basically no one was willing to visit him except for necessary official business.

Yuan Bo took a small path, crossed the street, and went straight to the door of Lu's house.

Yuan Qing and several other female relatives lived in the mansion. Lu Zhao didn't want to cause rumors, so he dismissed all the servants.

Now he has to open the door himself.

Unexpectedly, I saw the Prime Minister with a dark face and blue eyes outside.

Lu Zhao was not surprised at all.

The noise that woman made last night was known to everyone within a radius of ten miles. Now that her father has come to "catch ghosts" in person, how could Lu Zhao not greet her respectfully?

Yuan Bo, under Lu Zhao's guidance, went to the east room. When he reached the courtyard, he hesitated for a moment and looked back at Lu Zhao, "Let's wait a little longer."

Lu Zhao yawned lazily, "Then please do as you please. I will go back to sleep first."

As he was leaving, he threw a stone, which hit the window directly and knocked over the candle that had been burning on the table all night.
