The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 38 Bad Omen
The cold water of the lake was like a huge and beautiful silk, wrapping her body and sinking to the dark bottom of the lake.

The light of the moon shone on the undulating water, and she saw the illusion of the future again, but this time it was not one person who died, but tens of thousands of people, whose blood covered the prosperous towns of the past. The tragic scene made her forget to breathe and herself.

At this moment, her soul seemed to have entered this blood-flowing world, and she could even hear the cries of grief, as well as the stench and decay of corpses brought about by death.

The Long family all have their own talents, including controlling ghosts and gods, and recognizing demons. In Long Xilan's generation, her psychic ability is the weakest among several generations, but it is extremely rare to see the fantasy of the future.

"Boom!" With a sound, the lake surface was startled again.

"My lord, my lord—come on, come on, Miss Ji has fallen into the water!" Liu Jin and Qinglian shouted in shock at the lakeside.

Until this moment, Long Xilan has never regained consciousness.

Li Huai held his breath and dived into the bottom of the water. Although the water quality was good, it took a lot of effort to drag her body to the surface.

"Pfft!" She seemed to die once, and violently spit out the water that was choking in her throat. Breathing violently, she saw Li Huai who was holding her, and the water flowed down his deep cheeks.

When they arrived on the shore, the two of them were completely wet. When the cold wind blew, every pore of their bodies seemed to be pierced by ice.

"Hurry up, take Miss back and change her clothes!" Although Li Huai had doubts, he didn't ask any questions, and hurriedly sent her back.

Long Xilan was shivering in the cold in her wet clothes, and took two steps forward before remembering to thank Li Huai. When she turned her head, she was gone, only Liu Jin was left, "My lord asked the servants to escort the young lady back to the East Chamber .”

She thought so too, it was so cold this day, Li Huai should go back quickly and change into dry clothes.

She went back to the east chamber to change into clean robes, and sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms to warm herself up.

She didn't know when those phantoms would actually happen. She waited for a while before she let go and recalled those fragments. What made Long Xilan feel uneasy for a long time at this moment was that there was a female ghost in this other courtyard who wanted to take her life. Hearing footsteps, she knew someone was coming, so she quickly got off the bed.

The person who came in was Chen Niang, still holding a tray in her hand, "The prince asked the old slave to bring ginger soup to the young lady, and the young lady drank it while it was hot to keep away the cold, so as not to catch the wind and cold again."

Long Xilan's eyes dimmed a bit, but she simply took two sips of it and drank it!
"Thank you, Mrs. Chen."

Chen Niang smiled kindly and nodded, and was about to go out when she asked, "Is your lord okay?"

Ever since Long Xilan was selected by Li Huai in the Chunyang Palace that day, he has been like the phrase "I will protect you well" that he said to her himself, saving her at all costs several times, but she is never grateful It's impossible for her to apologize, and she is even more afraid that her true identity will be exposed.

At this moment, Chen Niang stopped by the door and told her: "The emperor suddenly summoned the prince to enter the palace, and I don't know when he will be back."

"Oh!" She knew there should be something urgent, otherwise she wouldn't have entered the palace so late. "Ms. Chen, can I ask you a few questions?"

Chen Niang nodded, and took back the leg that stepped out of the door. "Miss, if you want to ask me anything, just ask me."

"What happened in the West Chamber that day, who made that plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake you brought me that night?" What happened that night always felt strange.

How could this female ghost play tricks on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake?And it was still drugged, so she felt that this matter was not just as simple as a female ghost taking her life.

When Chen Niang heard this, her face was troubled.

"What happened to Mrs. Chen?"

The other party sighed: "Since the incident happened that night, the lord has arrested Chunlan, the kitchen cook, and handed it over to Deputy Captain Yan for interrogation, and she is still locked in the material room in the backyard of the west wing. The plate of dim sum was made by Chunlan." Yes, but she refuses to admit that she gave the drug to death, and the prince has already ordered her to be sent to Dali Temple for torture tomorrow!"

"I want to meet this cook." To clarify the doubts, this cook is the key. He will be sent away tomorrow, and tonight is the last chance.

When Chen Niang heard this, she immediately shook her head: "No, the lord has told me to take good care of Miss's safety. If Chunlan really has malicious intentions to harm Miss, wouldn't it be dangerous for Miss to see her now?"

"Isn't Yan Ming here? He is superb in martial arts, so there will be no mistakes." Long Xilan said firmly, Chen Niang was always easy to talk, and finally agreed!
Soon, under the protection of two guards, Long Xilan came to the cook's room in the west chamber.

Yan Ming was standing outside, talking to another guard. Seeing her coming, he rushed over and asked, "Miss Ji is so late, why are you here?"

Long Xilan made it clear what she came for, and Yan Ming told her: "I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

"Why?"

"Because I can't ask anything from that cook now! The cook pretended to be crazy and said nonsense, and the prince forbids us to be lynched in other courtyards!" I have spoken!
"Pretending to be crazy?" Long Xilan didn't care what the cook was up to, she first saw the person with her own eyes before speaking. "Take me in and have a look!"

Seeing her rushing towards the door of the material room, Yan Ming hastily persuaded: "Miss, it's better not to see that woman, be careful if you hurt her, and my prince will worry!"

Long Xilan ignored this, and Yan Ming had no choice but to open the door with the key!
However, just as the door opened, a disheveled woman rushed straight at her!
