Chapter 774 Playing But Can't Afford to Play
When Qi Qingyi opened her eyes, she saw a bloody scene: a ghostly face with no eyeballs, only eye sockets, and a bright red face appeared in front of her.
In that instant, she felt her hair stand on end and quickly closed her eyes.
However, when she opened her eyes again after praying silently, she found that the vengeful ghost was still there before her, and had not left at all.
"Get away! Get away from me!"
Tang Xuening was also terrified, screaming incessantly, extremely frightened.
Hearing the commotion outside, Prince Xiao ran over to see what was happening, and Tang Xuening rushed over to him as soon as she saw him.
She kept screaming and burrowing into his arms, her expression turning terrified. Most importantly, her noise hurt his ears.
"Miss Tang, please have some self-respect."
Confused, King Xiao quickly retreated, trying to create distance between the two.
Could this woman be resorting to this method because she didn't achieve her goal of getting close to him?
Once his reputation is ruined, he will have to give the Prime Minister an explanation, and then he won't be able to refuse to marry him.
Therefore, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review saw Prince Xiao come over with great interest, and then run away as if he had seen a ghost.
It was Tang Xuening who was loudly proclaiming that there were ghosts, but it was Xiao Wang who was running as if a ghost was chasing him.
"I didn't expect Mingyue Village to be so lively after we arrived. But Princess Liang and Miss Tang look like they've gone mad. Could they really be mad?"
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review sighed inwardly, "Three women make a drama, but it's clear that even if Princess Liang and Tang Xuening joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Princess Chu."
The next moment, he heard Master Qingfeng's sharp cry.
"A ghost! There really is a ghost!"
Master Qingfeng's face turned deathly pale with fright. Although he had imagined what ghosts would look like many times before, he was still terrified after seeing such a hideous creature in person.
This is absolutely terrifying, it scared him to death!
"It's one thing for the two girls to be frightened, but didn't he claim to be able to catch ghosts? How come he was so scared when he saw one himself?" The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Who knows?" Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "We told them not to see them, but they insisted on seeing them. Now that they've seen them, they're crying. It's really inexplicable!"
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review: "..." Fortunately, he didn't say he wanted to see it too.
Chu Junting nodded. "Don't pay them any attention. They just like to take advantage of others and then act innocent."
Qi Qingyi kept her eyes closed, not daring to open them at all, and could only shout, "Song Ruozhen, I don't want to see anymore, please release these yin-yang eyes!"
"You think you can just look at it whenever you want, or untie it whenever you want? It's not that easy."
Song Ruozhen's lips curled into a playful smile, "Didn't you want to see if it was just a trick? Now you can experience it for yourself!"
I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap.
"Then I'll take you back to your room to rest. We won't go back today, so you can rest easy."
Seeing that his wife was sleepy, Chu Junting didn't bother with Liang Wang and his entourage anymore, and led her towards the house.
They had traveled a long way to Mingyue Village, and hadn't rested overnight because they had to check on the sacrificial ceremony, so they were naturally exhausted.
Qi Qingyi was terrified when she saw that Song Ruozhen was actually planning to leave.
"Song Ruozhen, don't go!"
Her voice was urgent and shrill, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
"I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver, but first, help me unlock this yin-yang eye!"
"The 100,000 taels was rightfully yours to give, but you were dissatisfied, so I let you see it for yourself."
It's open now, but it won't be unlocked for at least three days. Use these three days to see a different world, so you don't feel like you lost those 100,000 taels unjustly.
Song Ruozhen's expression, which seemed to say "I'm doing this for your own good" and "I want you to understand that losing 100,000 taels of silver is not unjustified," made Qi Qingyi even more frightened and anxious.
Tang Xuening couldn't catch up with Prince Xiao, and was terrified of being alone, so she hugged Guard Yang.
Yang, the guard, was completely terrified. Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately ran away. Wasn't this going to kill him?
After Song Ruozhen returned to her room to rest, she could hear noises outside from time to time.
"Why is that vengeful ghost haunting them? Could it be related to Princess Liang?"
Chu Junting couldn't help but wonder, if this ghost was from Mingyue Village, then it had nothing to do with Qi Qingyi and the others, so why was it constantly bothering her?
If it was Princess Liang herself who had blood on her hands, then it wouldn't be surprising. But would a ghost follow her this far?
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Those are ghosts from Mingyue Village and the surrounding area. Xinxin has already been reincarnated. There are no other ghosts around us."
If I were to grant them the ability to see ghosts like this, and they saw nothing, wouldn't they accuse me of making things up again?
"So, I used a little trick to attract all the ghosts in the vicinity."
These three days will be enough for the three of them to witness the diversity of ghosts, and they will no longer doubt me.
Song Ruozhen blinked. "Am I thoughtful?"
Chu Junting chuckled and nodded in agreement, "You're so thoughtful, even 100,000 taels wouldn't be enough."
“You’re right.” Song Ruozhen nodded in agreement. “Then I’ll just raise the price when they come to me begging for the release.”
……
Qi Qingyi squinted her eyes tightly, feeling like she was going crazy.
Even though there were maids around, she saw different ghosts as soon as she opened her eyes.
At that moment, she felt as if she had entered a haunted house.
Most importantly... these ghosts seemed to know she could see ghosts, they were all staring at her, and some even smiled at her eerily, which gave her the creeps.
"Your Highness, please help me! I don't want to see these ghostly things!"
Qi Qingyi was terrified and could only plead with the King of Liang.
King Liang now thinks Qi Qingyi is a useless fool. If he hadn't valued Qi Qingyi as an asset, he wouldn't have chosen to marry her.
He would have been fine if he had just stayed quietly in the mansion, but what he's doing now seems like a joke to him.
"This is what you asked to see, and now that your wish has been granted, you may watch it a little longer."
King Liang disdainfully ordered his men to take Qi Qingyi away; he himself just wanted some peace and quiet.
"Your Highness, please don't leave me, I'm really scared!"
Qi Qingyi was terrified. Even with her eyes closed, she could still hear the voices of ghosts. It was truly terrifying!
Master Qingfeng then took out all his usual peach wood swords and other items, but found that they didn't seem to have any effect on these ghosts.
Aside from having a slight deterrent effect when it's first brought out, it has no effect after that.
"So this is what the ability to see ghosts is!"
Master Qingfeng's mind was filled with horror, followed by overwhelming helplessness and fear. "I don't want to have the ability to see ghosts! Someone, please save me!"
