Chapter 60
Sheng Wan's originally sluggish eyes came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

She shook her head, then looked at Ji Qinghan, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

But Ji Qinghan glanced at her indifferently, and then looked out the door.

Sheng Wan followed his gaze, but only saw the back of a little girl. That little girl was dressed in red, and she looked very familiar!
"That... what?" Ghost?
"Go back to the house and rest." Ji Qinghan strode into the house after only saying this, if Sheng Hou turned his head and looked over, he would find that this man was barefoot!
There was no lamp in the room, and a cool wind blew in from outside.Sheng Wan shivered, and ran into the inner room in one breath.

"What happened just now?" Sheng Yu asked the man beside him suspiciously as he wrapped himself in the quilt, only showing a pair of black eyes.

"I reminded you before that you have signs of leaving your soul." Ji Qinghan's voice was cool, but there was some worry.

Sheng Yu glanced at him in confusion, "Lihun? Is the soul leaving the body?" This is too scary!
"Well, sleep well recently." After Ji Qinghan finished speaking, there was no more movement.

But Sheng Hou couldn't sleep for a long time, the back of the little girl in red was really familiar.After thinking about it, she didn't know where she saw it, so forget it, she still didn't want to.

Regarding the matter of the princess, notices were pasted up everywhere in the metropolis the next day, but the crimes above did not specifically mention cursing the emperor, but only stated that she had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and she would be executed in autumn!

For several days in a row, the weather in Dadu was beautiful and calm.According to Zhao Zilong, Prime Minister Shen didn't react these days, as if it wasn't his daughter who was going to be executed!

"This is very strange." Sheng Hou grabbed the rose petals in his hand, with a lazy expression on his face.

At this time, the housekeeper suddenly walked into the yard, and saw Sheng Wan walking over quickly.

"My concubine, someone sent you a wooden box outside the door."

Sheng Wan raised his eyes in doubt, "Who sent it?"

"It's Brother Xiaofei who delivers letters in the east of the city." The housekeeper said respectfully.

"Give it to me." Seeing the wooden box in his hand, Sheng Hou stretched out his hand quickly.

It was a very delicate wooden box, as long as half an arm, and only as wide as a palm. I don't know what was in it!
"The side concubine, the younger one will go down first." The butler said.

"Go."

Sheng Wan turned around and put the wooden box on the table, and opened the lid casually.

I saw a human puppet lying quietly inside, and the puppet looked exactly like her!I saw that the puppet was wearing a red dress, and the eyes carved by Qi Liuhai were very vivid!

"Go home with my brother..." A young girl's innocent and quiet voice suddenly appeared in her mind!
"Pa—" The puppet in her hand suddenly fell on the stone table, and she hurriedly looked around, but there was not even a ghost!
With a solemn expression, Sheng Wan picked up the puppet again, stared at her face, and murmured, "Is this a curse?"

Sheng Wan didn't believe in curses, but since she had so many strange encounters, she gradually became a little uncertain.No matter what it is, I will show it to Ji Qinghan later.

Ji Qinghan and Zhao Zilong came to the small courtyard while having lunch.

"Hey? Such a beautiful puppet, could it be that Lao Ji gave it to you little sister-in-law?" Zhao Zilong smiled cheaply when he saw the puppet Sheng Yu was holding.

Sheng Wan handed the puppet to Ji Qinghan, "Someone sent it to me this morning, do you see anything weird?"

Ji Qinghan took the puppet and inspected it repeatedly, then denied, "It's just an ordinary puppet."

"But the carving is very delicate, it was carved with heart." Ji Qinghan put down the puppet and looked at Sheng Wan coolly.

Sheng Wan frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly guessed, "Could it be that someone has a crush on me?"

"...Little sister-in-law, who is so bold to like you now that you have such a reputation?" Zhao Zilong gave her a nasty look.

"Little Zhao Zi, your skin is itchy again. Anyway, my sister is a flower from all over the world, how can no one like me?!" Sheng Wan gave Zhao Zilong a supercilious look.

"Someone really likes you..." Zhao Zilong rubbed his chin, glanced at Ji Qinghan secretly, and smiled meanly.

Sheng Yu quickly wondered, "Who? Tell me quickly, and make me happy!"

"Zhao Zilong, have you done everything I asked you to do?" Ji Qinghan suddenly looked at Zhao Zilong and asked.

"Uh, hehe... I'll do it right away, right away!" Zhao Zilong hurried out!
Sheng Wan frowned, she looked at Ji Qinghan, and said, "I just remembered where I saw that little girl in red."

"It's Puji Temple. Before I met the man in purple, there was a girl in red standing outside the door, as if calling me."

Ji Qinghan frowned slightly upon hearing this, and said, "Tonight I will prescribe some calming medicine for you, if you see that girl again tonight, try to learn to control yourself not to be attracted."

Although Sheng Wan had many doubts in his heart, he held back and nodded obediently.

"Sheng Rong hasn't looked for me these days, what do you think he's going to do to deal with you?" She didn't feel safe at the thought of Sheng Rong who was eyeing him.

"He will play tricks on the day of the ghost sacrifice, and you will accompany me into the palace in three days." Ji Qinghan looked at Sheng Yu.

Sheng Wan nodded, she can still do this.

"At that time, I will create an opportunity for you. You and Zhao Zilong go get the rest of the rubbings." Ji Qinghan said again.

Sheng Wan continued to nod his head.

three days later.

Early in the morning, Shenghou asked Hong'er to dress her up meticulously. She wore a black tights underneath and two layers of white gauze on the outside, because it was a ghost festival and it was not appropriate to wear too fancy.

After lunch, she and Ji Qinghan got into the carriage and headed for the palace.

Today Ji Qinghan is wearing a dark blue court dress, embroidered with a mighty and majestic unicorn, which makes him a lot more majestic!
Sheng Wan is very quiet today, her white clothes make her look like a fresh and fragrant magnolia flower.

Entering the palace, the two got off the carriage at the second palace gate.

"Refer to Prince Rui and the side concubine, the sacrificial ceremony will start before dark in the afternoon, our family will take the two of you to the harem to rest first." An eunuch stood outside the carriage and said respectfully.

"Lead the way." Ji Qing said coldly.

Sheng Wan followed behind him, performing a decent and generous etiquette.

After walking for a long time, they arrived at a Qinxin Hall, and the eunuch brought the two of them inside.

"My lord and concubine, this is the resting place for the two of you. If you need anything, you can tell the maid. Our family has to pick up other ministers, so I'm leaving now." The eunuch's attitude towards the two was very polite, obviously a very A qualified eunuch.

"En." Ji Qinghan responded.

There are only four maids standing outside the gate of the palace, and there are only two people in the palace.

Sheng Hou quickly sat down on the chair, raised his heels and stretched his ankles.

"It's really hard for those ministers who go to the palace every day. They walk thousands of meters every day. It's really healthy and healthy." Sheng Hou pouted.

Ji Qinghan was also sitting on the chair, and there was a wooden table between them. He took out a small map from his pocket and put it on the table.

"What is this?" Sheng Wan glanced at him strangely.

"The map of the imperial palace. I'll go to the sacrifice later, and you should record this map clearly here. The red route is the route where the rubbings are located, and the blue route is the route out of the palace." Ji Qinghan seriously urged.

"The preparations are quite complete! Got it." Sheng Wan nodded.

As the sun was setting, Sheng Wan asked the maid outside the door to deliver a plate of fruit, and then went into the inner room to recite the map.

After nightfall, a flame burst into the sky, not like a fire, but like burning something!
"The side concubine." At this moment, the voice of a court lady came in from outside the door.

Sheng Hou hurriedly folded the map and stuffed it into his clothes, and a pretty court lady walked in from the outside to salute.

"My concubine, the palace banquet is about to begin, and this servant is here to take you there." The servant said.

Sheng Wan stood up, straightened her skirt, and asked, "Where is Prince Rui?"

"The prince went to Chunhua Palace after the sacrifice."

Chunhua Palace is the location of the palace banquet.

Sheng Wan walked over and said, "Let's go."

"Yes."

Sheng Wan quietly followed the maid out of the hall, and the maid outside the door walked into the palace as soon as she saw her go, as if she wanted to pack up her things.

Passing through one after another of small palace gates, Sheng Hou was almost fainted.

Finally, after passing through a palace gate, a green belt appeared in front of it, which seemed to be an ornamental garden.

Passing through a forest, there is a bridge ahead, and there seems to be a rockery further forward.

The heat of the day turns a lot cooler at night. Candles are lit in the pavilion not far away, and there are lights at intervals in the distance, which looks quiet and beautiful.

This court lady walked very fast, always bowing her head with a humble look.

Suddenly she came to the bridge and stopped.

"what happened?"

Seeing her stop, Sheng Wan's heart sank, and he was ready to fight.

"My concubine, General Sheng has a message for this servant to bring to you." The court lady turned around, lowered her head respectfully and said.

Sheng Wan frowned, waiting for her here, "Say it."

"After the palace banquet is over, the general will be waiting for you in the crown prince's womb, please go there." The servant said word by word.

"That's all?" Sheng Wan raised his eyebrows.Where is the womb?Ask Zhao Zilong later.

"Yes." The maid said.

Sheng Wan waved his hand lightly, "Continue to lead the way."

Logically speaking, Sheng Rong should know something about the mission secretly assigned to Ji Qinghan by the emperor, maybe he should also want to get the prescription for the elixir of life!

After walking for a while, the maid took her to Chunhua Palace.

Sheng Wan stood at the door looking for Ji Qinghan's figure, saw that he was sitting in the seat where the emperor was under his command, and walked over.

The positions on both sides of the palace were full of officials and their families, and the female family members of the officials in front were saluting the emperor.

Sheng Wan walked in slowly, at this moment the hall suddenly became quiet!
silence!

Everyone looked at Sheng Hou with a trace of scrutiny in their eyes, and some officials' wives showed fear and curiosity.

Sheng Hou sneered inwardly, it seems that her reputation has really ruined the concubine and Prime Minister Shen!It actually caused such a 'sensation'!
