My princess always wants me to usurp the throne

Chapter 49
The bright moon hides in the clouds, and the cool breeze blows.

The courtyard of Nuoda in the Duke's Mansion was pitch black.

At this time, everyone was asleep, and the whole body was a little strangely quiet.

Shen Qianxia was about to return to the bamboo garden from the backyard, when she suddenly saw the lights in Mrs. Liu's yard.

Looking around, it's a bit abrupt.

The dress was blown loudly, and there was a bit of coldness.

Shen Qianxia's eyes turned cold, and she walked slowly towards the light, with light steps, like an elf in the dark night.

With the flickering of the candlelight, we can see that the curtains in the house are fluttering lightly, perhaps because of the mild cold wind in early spring, Mrs. Liu got up to close the window.

The corner of Shen Qianxia's mouth hooked slightly, and she pulled out the jasper hairpin from her head, and her hair fell out instantly.

She lowered her head slightly, pushed her hair forward to cover her face, and then used lightness kung fu to float towards the window.

Mrs. Liu was sleepy, muttering something in her mouth, and walked to the window shuffling.

The cold wind poured in, making her shiver.

Mrs. Liu stretched her hand towards the window, and suddenly felt something moving on the back of her hand. She opened her squinted eyes and glanced at her hand.

It turned out to be a bunch of jet-black hair, and she was instantly relieved.

Suddenly she froze all over, raised her eyes to look, opened her mouth wide in fright, and was speechless for a long while.

Mrs. Liu was trembling at this moment, her teeth were chattering, her lips were trembling: "Ghost..."

Shen Qianxia floated on purpose, swayed a few more times, and then quickly disappeared.

When she was about to reach the bamboo garden, she heard screams from over there, "There is a ghost."

The miserable cry resounded throughout the Duke's mansion, causing a commotion in an instant.

Liu Guogong, who was resting in his concubine's room, quickly put on his clothes and ran out.

Liu Qilin and Shen Muxue all woke up from their sleep, following the sound of shock, they ran towards Mrs. Liu's yard one after another.

Ding Xiang was the first to run into the room, and saw Mrs. Liu collapsed on the ground, her face was as white as a ghost, and her pupils were dazed.

Her mouth was unclear, and her voice was trembling: "There is... a ghost... so scary, a female Gui."

"Ma'am..." Ding Xiang rushed over to help her up, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Liu Guogong and his party followed into the house, and after scanning around with his sharp eyes: "What happened?"

Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Ding Xiang quickly replied: "Duke, Madam said it was haunted."

"Nonsense, how can there be ghosts in my mansion? It's just nonsense!"

Liu Qilin and Shen Muxue looked at each other, and stepped forward to support Mrs. Liu.

Liu Qilin showed concern: "The shadows of the trees are dancing outside, is my mother wrong?"

Mrs. Liu's pale face had not faded from fear, seeing that there were many people in the room at this moment, she regained her composure a little.

She shook her head violently: "It can't be wrong, she has loose hair and is wearing a fiery red dress, floating around the window."

Several people were horrified when they heard it, but they were still dubious.

Shen Muxue thought to herself, Auntie must have done too many sinful things to become suspicious.

But she only dared to think about it in her heart, with a very worried look on her face.

Liu Guogong asked again: "Are you sure you're not dazzled?"

Mrs. Liu's voice was already crying: "It's impossible to be dazzled, it's so close, and I can touch her... head... hair."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu began to collapse, looked at her hands and exclaimed: "Hurry up and bring water, I want to clean my hands."

Hearing this, Ding Xiang suppressed the fear in her heart, and hurriedly went to fetch water, her steps vain.

Liu Guogong frowned coldly and fell into deep thought.

Liu Qilin's eyes flickered, and he walked to the door and told his servants: "You search the entire courtyard from inside to outside, I want to see who dares to play tricks in the Duke's mansion!"

The servants took orders and began to go to various courtyards.
