The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Lu Zhaoling felt that he was wrong.

Even with Zhou Shiyue's merits and her talisman, Yin Taohua still couldn't succeed on him so easily.

Now that they can plot against him, and Su Xiaolian and the others can easily enter his dreams, there must be some kind of help!

She had underestimated her own talisman before.

The emperor had also come out and kicked the two ghosts outside and asked Qingmu to catch them.

Now he saw that Lu Zhaoling's expression was not right, and his heart began to tighten.

"Master Ling, is there something wrong?"

"Did you catch them?" Zhou Shiyue spoke slowly. He looked out the door and saw a pile of ghosts.

"I caught you, but there's still something wrong in your room."

Lu Zhaoling had been observing and looking for anything wrong. After saying this, her eyes fell on the candlestick beside her.

There must be nothing wrong with the candlelight, otherwise she would have noticed it when she lit it.

She walked over.

He reached out and picked up the eight-branched candlestick.

"Princess, I'm coming."

Qingmu saw this from outside and asked Qingyu to watch the ghosts. He walked in quickly and took the candlestick.

Because the candlestick is made of copper and has eight heads, it is quite heavy to lift.

Just now, when he saw Lu Zhaoling pick up the candlestick with one hand, his heart skipped a beat.

"Lift it higher so I can see what's underneath."

Aoki raised the candlestick higher.

Lu Zhaoling took a look and found that there was a faint oily sheen under each candlestick, and she was immediately furious.

"really."

"I haven't noticed this before." She gritted her teeth.

Well done to you for taking care of so many details. It seems like you have really prepared a lot for this plan.

"Go get a new candlestick."

She said to Aoki.

"I'll ask someone else to get it." Zhou Shiyue had recovered and walked over to her side, looking under the candlestick. He also saw something was wrong.

The secret guard quickly went to get a new candlestick.

A new candle was lit, and now this one has its candle removed.

He turned it over and placed it on the table, and several people came over.

Lu Zhaoling took a handkerchief and wiped it under the candlestick, leaving a wax-like stain on the handkerchief.

Aoki asked, "Princess, this thing is not easy to find, because even if the servants see it, they will just think it is stained with candle wax."

That’s right, and this candlestick is too heavy. When the servants come to clean it, they won’t turn around to wipe the bottom.

"This can't be candle wax." The emperor leaned over and sniffed. "You can't smell it from far away, but when you get up close, the smell is really bad."

"It's definitely not candle wax, it's corpse oil. And, it's very likely..."

She paused here and turned to look at Su Xiaolian who was still controlled by her talisman outside.

"It's her corpse oil."

"Hiss." The emperor took a breath of cold air.

Zhou Shiyue's expression was also very ugly.

What kind of dark event is this?

A ghost wanted to marry him, then burn herself to make her own corpse oil and smear it under the candlesticks in his room?

Is this burning yourself as incense for him?

Lu Zhaoling asked Qingmu to clean the bottoms of the eight candlesticks, and then purified them with a purification talisman.

Zhou Shiyue suddenly felt a little more relaxed.

"If you burn this corpse oil in a candle flame, the smell will be very obvious and you'll be discovered right after it's lit. But if you rub it under a candlestick, it won't be discovered until the candle flame burns for a certain amount of time, and the heat is transferred to the candlestick, heating up the corpse oil underneath. Then, a trace of corpse odor will be emitted, and you won't be discovered, and you can achieve the effect the other party wants."

Lu Zhaoling was very angry.

Because she didn't even notice this.

"Once you smell this scent for a few days, half of the protective effect of the talisman on your body will be eliminated."

Lu Zhaoling walked towards the door, and Zhou Shiyue and the emperor hurriedly followed.

"I was wondering, you have the talismans I drew all over your body, how could you still be easily attacked? It turns out that a hole had already been torn open long ago."

Zhou Shiyue frowned, "This candlestick must not have become unusual recently."

"Definitely not. Because there's very little corpse oil, it would take a long time. It must have been here for a long time."

"Hasn't the person been caught? Just interrogate her." Zhou Shiyue had already seen the female ghost thrown on the ground in the yard.

Oh, it’s not a person, it’s a ghost, and the ghost has been caught.

There was another group of little ghosts nearby, roughly speaking there were about twenty of them.

These little ghosts were all injured by Lu Zhaoling's talisman. Now they were all dazed and lying there. Some of them hung their heads, some were talking with their tongues stretched out, some had their eyes stiff and wide open, and some were hunched over as if their necks were crooked.

Anyway, each one is ugly and weird in its own way.

Lu Zhaoling took a quick look, pointed at one of them, and said to Qingyu, "Pull that one out."

"Yes."

Qingyu immediately pulled out the ghost she had designated and threw it onto the open space.

Lu Zhaoling threw a talisman at him.

As soon as the talisman hit the ghost, he obviously regained some spirit, with fear in his eyes. He immediately got up and knelt, begging for mercy from Lu Zhaoling.

"Master, this is none of my business! I don't know anything. I just want to be reborn. I never thought of harming anyone! But they caught me and I can't escape. I can only listen to them. Please save me!"

This is not only a plea for mercy, but also a plea for help.

"Who arrested you?"

"That's right, it's Elder Teng who is beside the high priest. It's him. He was the one who captured me." said the little ghost.

So, this matter is indeed related to the high priest.

"Were the other little ghosts also captured by Elder Teng?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.

"Not really, but they are all barbarians. Anyway, there are several elders. Each of them has captured a lot of wandering ghosts. They probably keep them captive and take us out when needed."

The little ghost said with a bitter face, "If you resist, your soul will be burned. It will hurt like hell. I can't bear it at all."

No wonder these ghosts’ souls are damaged.

"What is the identity of this woman?" Lu Zhaoling pointed at the still stiff woman.

The little ghost glanced at her and shrank his neck.

"She's the descendant of the previous emperor who was lost among the common people. So she's considered a princess? But her mother seems to have only been a singing girl, so she's never been in the palace."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Zhou Shiyue.

Zhou Shiyue grabbed her hand.

"What are you looking at me for? No matter who she is, I want to beat her to death."

The look he gave him seemed to say that the other person was a princess and he should be happy.

If it weren’t in front of so many people, Zhou Shiyue would have wanted to pinch Lu Zhaoling’s face.

"Aren't there always remnants of the previous dynasty who still have evil intentions? Does she have such a plan?" The expression of the retired emperor became serious.

"Just ask and you'll find out."

That’s all the kid knew. Lu Zhaoling glanced at him and he immediately knelt down and moved aside.
