Queen Yun left the palace as if running away, and the coffin and Yun Yujiao's body were naturally taken away.
Demon Dao Wuji was burned to the point where there was no residue left. The living dead demon Dao Wushuang was left useless and was naturally buried together.
Every wrongdoer has his own owner, and Yun Qingwu's ghost naturally followed him back to collect debts.
The Star-Zhaing Courtyard suffered a fire. Although there were no casualties, it was obvious that no one could live in it anymore.
Qing Wu looked disgusted: "This place is too shabby and not worthy of me. I want to live in a big courtyard."
Xiao Chenyan: "Where does the princess want to live?"
"Iris Courtyard."
Xiao Chenyan's expression remained unchanged, but the hundred-year-old's expression changed and he almost wanted to speak.
"Sure?"
"Uh-huh, the prince is reluctant to part with you?"
"good."
Qing Wu curled her lips: "Thank you, ah, by the way, don't arrange too many things for the people you serve, I like to be clean."
After saying that, she yawned and left, looking as if she was familiar with the palace.
Xiao Chenyan stared at her back, his thoughts unpredictable.
"My lord, how could you let her live in Iris Courtyard? It's not..." Baisui was anxious, but was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Situ Jing." Xiao Chenyan twisted the Buddhist beads tightly: "Are there really ghosts in the world that can borrow corpses to bring back souls?"
Situ Jing touched his nose: "Anyway, I haven't seen it before. Even if there is one, it must be a ghost with a hundred years of Taoism. If such a ghost comes back to life, shouldn't it kill everyone?"
"Do you think the princess is a human being?"
"It's true that she doesn't look like a human being." Situ Jing lowered his voice: "But looking at the way she behaved today, she obviously wanted to kill Yun Houxing. Maybe it was Yun Qingwu who faked the corpse."
"After all, she was made into a living evil spirit, and she was Zhongyuan yesterday, so it's normal to have a fierce aura."
"But..." Situ Jing frowned, "It doesn't make sense that the demonic way was counterattacked by Zhu Rong's power, but she was safe and sound. Ghosts are afraid of fire, and the fire god Zhu Rong specializes in defeating evil ghosts, so it stands to reason that he won't let her go. right."
Xiao Chenyan has a mocking look in his eyes, can he defeat evil spirits?
Then what happened to the demon fire that burned hundreds of people to death in the East Palace?
"Since she wants to seek revenge on Yun Houxing, it coincides with our purpose."
Xiao Chenyan said solemnly: "Take this opportunity to scare Yun Houxing well. We must find out the evidence of his crime in scheming the Marquis of Zhen before he dies."
Back then, the former crown prince was accused of colluding with the marquis of Zhenguo to commit treason. The former prince set himself on fire in the East Palace, and the marquis of Zhenguo and his family died in the battle.
Yun Houxing, a relative of the Zhenguo Marquis, was the quartermaster in that war. It was he who stood up to accuse the Zhenguo Marquis of treason, stepping on the bones of loyal ministers and good generals, and ascended to the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
Xiao Chenyan has been dormant for ten years. This time he returns to Beijing to re-examine the old cases, clear the name of his late father and late prince, and also clear the grievances of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion!
"My lord, you should take care of yourself. During the Ghost Festival, your cold attack is the worst."
Situ Jing babbled: "We now have an evil spirit in our house. The evil spirit is right when he says that the ghost's heart is unpredictable. She just wants to kill Yun Houxing, but that doesn't mean she won't do anything to her. If someone else takes action, you..."
"Xiao Chenyan! What are you doing!" Situ Jing's voice suddenly rose.
But when he saw the man actually pulling off the cloak that he wore even in the hottest summer and winter, Situ Jing quickly picked up the cloak and put it back on: "You don't want your life. This fire fox cloak can restrain the evil spirit in your body. You..."
"not cold."
"What?"
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were deep: "Today, I don't feel cold."
To be precise, it started last night.
He didn't notice it at first, but after half a day, it became obvious to him.
The evil spirit was still there, but it was not like before, eroding his bone marrow every moment.
In the past, he had to rely on Buddhist beads and a fire fox cloak to suppress the cold, but today he was wearing a fire fox cloak, and he was actually sweating faintly on his back.
Situ Jing and Bai Sui looked at each other.
"Look into Demon Dao Wuji carefully. I want to know how he is related to the fire in the East Palace."
"In addition..." Xiao Chenyan paused: "Send the green and red pistils to the Iris Courtyard to serve."
After saying that, he strode away.
A hundred-year-old's eyes will pop out of his head.
Situ Jing hissed, "You actually sent Xiaohong and Xiaolu over? Xiaobaisui, I remember that the three of you were rescued from Ren Yazi by the prince..."
Baisui grunted angrily and said with a stern face: "I'm going to find Sister Hong and Sister Lv right now. Make sure they keep an eye on that woman and not let her act recklessly in the Iris Courtyard!"
"I just wanted to ask, what's so special about Iris Courtyard?"
"I can't say it's special, it's just that the young lady lived in that courtyard before." Baisui muttered in a low voice: "How could the prince let other people live in it..."
"Which little lady?" Situ Jing patted his head: "The little princess of Zhenguo Hou Mansion who died early?"
Baisui glared at him.
Situ Jing thought about it, stamped his foot, and cursed: "No wonder you just asked me to borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul. Xiao Chenyan, this madman, what is he thinking!"
Not to mention that Princess Qingwu, the Marquis of Zhenguo, had been dead for ten years, but the little girl was only twelve years old when she died.
Even if a corpse is brought back to life, he will not be as virtuous as the evil god in his house when he wakes up~
Ten years ago, Xiao Chenyan was only seventeen years old, right?
…
This side of Iris Courtyard.
Because the flowering period has passed, the iris flowers in the courtyard only have leaves, but they are bricks and tiles, and even carvings of iris flowers can be seen everywhere on the window lattice and door frames.
It can be said that this yard has put a lot of thought into it.
Qing Wu admired it as she walked, feeling nostalgic that it was exactly the same as when she lived there in the past.
The judge's pen was roaring: "You did it on purpose, right?! We agreed not to reveal our identity!"
Qing Wu: "Where did I get exposed?"
"This Iris Courtyard must have something to do with you. I'll tell you, you were down there before. Why did you keep drawing these iris flowers when you had nothing to do?"
"That means Xiao Chenyan and I have the same interests."
"Just brag, the way he looked at you just now was clearly wrong."
Qing Wu hummed and laughed, and fell into a trance while staring at the iris lantern hanging on the corner of the eaves.
A deep male voice came from behind.
"Yun Qingwu."
Qing Wu's eyes moved slightly but she didn't look back.
Judge Bi was screaming: "What did he call you? He called Yun Qingwu, not Yun Qingwu?!"
Qing Wu lowered her eyes, and when she turned around, she looked confused: "Did the prince just call me?"
Qing Wu stood on the corridor where the sun could not shine, with charming eyebrows and a puzzled expression. Like a seductive ghost in the dark, evil and lazy.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her features carefully, not missing a single trace.
The woman in front of her was very beautiful. Judging from her facial features, Yun Qingwu's body was somewhat similar to what Qing Wu would look like when she grew up.
Xiao Chenyan had imagined countless times, what would that little bean sprout look like if he could live and grow up?
"Who are you anyway?"
Qing Wu played with her silk hair, "Didn't I tell you before, your princess, Yun Qingwu~"
"How does Yun Qingwu know about the existence of Iris Courtyard?"
"I heard that." Qing Wu smiled sweetly: "Although the prince has been away from the capital for a long time, there are many people keeping an eye on the troubles in the palace."
Xiao Chenyan looked at her for a long time, and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner.
He must have been crazy before he had the idea that it might be that little bean curd resurrected through corpse.
If he was really that little Douding, no matter how he changed, he should not have such evil and treacherous virtues.
But once you have agreed to let the person in front of you move in, it will be useless to go back on your promise.
The warmth in Xiao Chenyan's eyes gradually faded, and his voice was cold: "Don't touch any plant or tree in Iris Courtyard, especially this lantern."
