Xia Ying carefully took the thing and opened it, and only handed it to Xiyu after making sure there was no danger.

Inside was a human-shaped doll, only the size of a palm, covered with embroidery needles, as densely packed as a hedgehog.

There was a white note on the back of the doll, which read "May 20th, Renxu Year".

What is written on it is her birthday. Xiyu used to live in the mountains for a long time, and then she traveled to the Ulanala Mansion and stayed there for a long time, so she had never seen this thing before.

"what is this?"

Xiyu held the thing in front of Nanny Su and asked softly.

When Nanny Su saw this object, her eyes shone, and she explained to her in a very serious manner, "This is an ominous object used for curses. This object is the most taboo in the palace."

Then she exuded a fierce aura and cast a cold gaze on Song. "Song Gege is so bold that she dared to secretly perform this technique in the palace. According to the law, she should be hanged."

"Ah……"

Song sneered, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his tone, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.

"You think I care about this?"

After saying this, a strong hatred burst out from her eyes, like a raging flame that was going to burn people to ashes.

She took two steps forward and tried to get closer to Xiyu. A rotten smell came over her and penetrated into Xiyu's nostrils.

It was a disgusting smell, a mixture of blood and corruption. Xiyu's delicate brows were tightly knitted together, and she quickly pulled a corner of her cloak to cover her mouth and nose, trying to block out the unpleasant smell.

Song was quickly stopped by Gao Wuyong and others. Her face was pressed to the ground, and she looked very embarrassed. Her veil fell to the ground while she struggled.

"You little dog slave! Get out of here!"

She shouted loudly, struggled to push the person away, and knelt on the ground.

At the same time, her face was exposed to everyone's view, and everyone gasped.

The originally handsome face was now covered with several scars, the skin and flesh were festering, and one could vaguely see that the flesh had rotted away.

I guess the smell of corruption just now came from her face.

Li happened to come in at this time. After greeting, she was surprised to see Song's back kneeling on the ground.

"What happened to Sister Song?"

She took a step forward and was about to show some concern, but suddenly she saw Song's horrible face. She was so frightened that her pupils suddenly shrank and she was filled with horror.

Then he screamed and fell to the ground, kicking his feet and struggling backwards.

Unfortunately, he bumped into the female ghost, and after turning around, she let out several continuous screams.

It was already early in the morning and everyone was exhausted and listless, but they were made much more awake by her screams.

Her interruption also made Xiyu's surprise fade a little.

Li huddled in Jiaobai's arms, her thin shoulders trembling, tears falling like beads from a broken string, "Fujin, this is..."

She looked up at Xiyu, with a hint of confusion and grievance in her voice.

After catching a glimpse of the two people from the corner of his eye, he dodged back, making sure to stay as far away from them as possible.

Xi Yu said calmly: "As you can see, the female ghost has been caught. She was a maid from the Song family pretending to be her."

She asked someone to bring a chair to Li and then continued the interrogation.

After her veil was lifted, Song seemed to have been greatly shocked and acted crazy. Nothing could be asked of her. The palace maid was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, refusing to say a word. Xiyu had no choice but to hand the person over to Gao Wuyong for interrogation.

Gao Wuyong was very capable. When the sky was just beginning to turn pale, he handed a stack of testimonies to Xiyu.

After staying up all night, she had a terrible headache and felt a little listless.

"Keep them separately and send them to Yonghe Palace for Mother to deal with after daybreak."

She stood in front of the window with the testimony in her hand, staring at the sky outside. She was afraid that she would not be able to sleep for long.

Song looked crazy, and even Gao Wuyong couldn't get her to speak or say anything. But the palace maid named Yinghe said a lot.

The confession said that Yinghe had learned some acrobatic performances before entering the palace, and was assigned to the Song family's palace after entering the palace. At that time, Song's face looked almost like this.

Song told her that it was because of Fu Jin that she became what she is now, so she felt pity for him and wanted to create some trouble in the East Third House.

It happened that she was also near the rockery that day, so she exaggerated what the two palace maids had said and spread it everywhere. At the same time, she took the red dress that Song had hidden away and disguised herself as a female ghost, wandering around the East Three Houses every night.

It was by coincidence that she decided to come to Danruoju today to scare people and vent her anger. As for why she was able to sneak into Danruoju even though there were so many people lying in ambush at Dongsan Police Station, she said that it was because there was a narrow dog hole in the corner of Danruoju and she could just fit in.

Xiyu always felt that these words seemed true, but in fact they were mixed, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the false.

There are many doubts...

Although others did not see it, she saw it clearly. The strength and skill with which the palace maid kicked her were clearly not something a juggler could possess.

How could a little palace maid be able to pick up a dagger and kill someone without batting an eyelid?

As I was thinking, it was already dawn.

Xiyu calculated the time and thought that breakfast should have been finished in Yonghe Palace by now.

She went there at this time specifically because she was afraid that her mother would not be able to eat after seeing Song's face.

When Xiyu and his men arrived at Yonghe Palace, there was not only Concubine De inside, but also the Seventh Princess, Aisin-Gioro Yunran, who was Yinzhen's half-sister.

Because the empress dowager was ill before, Yun Ran went to Baohua Temple to pray for her and has not returned until now.

Today, the two met for the first time.

Yun Ran's appearance was quite different from Yinzhen's cold and aloof appearance. She had a beautiful face, and her fair and translucent skin seemed to be glowing.

Her clothing style is also very consistent with her own style. She wears a crabapple-colored cheongsam and a golden crabapple-colored hairpin on her black hair, which makes her look even more charming.

Looking at such a bright and beautiful woman, Xiyu developed a liking for her and revealed a genuine and gentle smile, which made her natural affinity even higher.
