The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

At Lai Fu Inn, Song Yao checked into a room. After everyone went upstairs, only Song Yao, Su Zhen and E Yu were left downstairs.

E Yu couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, is Xiongzhou City really haunted?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. He looked at E Yu and said, "Miss, you are from other places, right?"

E Yu nodded, "Yes, we are from the capital."

Su Zhen asked, "Boss, is this place really haunted?"

The shopkeeper nodded without hesitation, "It's haunted. Many people have died, all of them young girls. We see there are girls among you too, so be careful at night."

When Su Zhen and the others heard the shopkeeper say this, they all broke out in cold sweat.

E Yu looked at Song Yao and said, "Ayao, I don't want to live here. How about I go outside the city?"

Even sleeping in the open air is fine. Anyway, she just doesn't want to live in the city. It's too scary.

Song Yao nodded and said, "Okay, then you can stay out tonight."

Su Zhen looked at E Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, you haven't had enough rest these days. You should stay at the inn. Didn't the innkeeper say that the female ghost only harms young girls? You will be fine."

Song Yao looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, how can we avoid being found by that female ghost?"

The shopkeeper said, "The female ghost is afraid of garlic and mugwort. I've prepared some here. You can hang them on the doors and windows later. That way, the female ghost won't come looking for you."

When Song Yao heard the shopkeeper's words, she frowned.

garlic?

Isn't this a folk rumor used to deal with vampires and zombies?

And this mugwort, it is just a traditional Chinese medicine. People hang it on doors and windows during the Dragon Boat Festival. How can it have the effect of exorcising ghosts?

Song Yao definitely didn't believe it, but E Yu and Su Zhen were all very scared. In order to reassure them, Song Yao asked the shopkeeper to send more.

Finally, they went upstairs with garlic and mugwort.

Song Yao called Song Yuanbo and asked him to hang mugwort and garlic on the doors and windows to drive away ghosts.

Song Yuanbo didn't know whether it was true or not. Since Song Yao said so, he didn't ask any more questions and just hung up.

It was already dark, so Song Yao took a shower, changed her clothes, and went out.

Arriving at Song Zizhou's place, Song Yao looked at Song Zizhou and said, "Brother, go to the inn and take a bath first. Song Qing, you should go too."

Song Qing was afraid and quickly refused, "Ayao, I won't go. I'm not dirty. I'll just stay here and wait for Big Brother to go by himself."

Song Yao knew he was afraid, so she didn't say anything.

After Song Zizhou left, Song Yao looked towards Xiongzhou City in front of him.

There was no light in the city. Everyone turned off the lights at this time. I guess they were afraid of the female ghost.

Song Yao was also worried about E Yu and the others, so she called out to Song Zizhou and walked up to him, "Brother, you should stay at the inn tonight. If the one who's causing harm isn't a ghost but a human, you can handle it if you're here."

"Okay." Song Zizhou nodded and asked, "Aren't you going back to the inn?"

Song Yao shook her head and said, "I'll just live here."

There are so many supplies outside, someone must be watching over them, otherwise what if they are stolen at night?

"Okay then." Song Zizhou turned around and left without saying anything.

Song Yao returned to Song Qing and the others. She looked up and glanced at the sky.

The moon hid in the dark clouds, the wind started to blow, and there was not a single star in the sky. I was afraid it was going to rain.

Song Yao checked the mule cart and saw that there were some uncovered areas, so she asked Song Qing to cover them.

Song Mingxuan said, "Ayao, it's not raining, why are you building it like that?"

Song Yao glanced at Song Mingxuan and said, "There has been a moon in the past few nights, but not tonight. It's windy, so it's definitely going to rain tonight."

Song Mingxuan looked at Song Yao in surprise, "You can even see this?"

Song Yao smiled, folded her hands in front of her, and looked at Song Mingxuan, "Don't forget that my master is not only the number one swordsman, he is also a sorcerer. I naturally know how to do something as simple as observing the night sky."

Song Qing asked, "So he taught you all the techniques of observing celestial phenomena and the Qimen Dunjia?"

Song Yao shook her head and said, "I only learned to observe the celestial phenomena."

If she knew the art of Qimen Dunjia and could catch ghosts and exorcise demons, she would just stay in the inn. Then she would be able to tell whether it was a demon or a ghost, a human or a demon.

"You are amazing, too." Song Qing chuckled. "You are so amazing. I believe in you. You can definitely lead us to Fengzhou safely."

Song Yao smiled and said, "As long as you are obedient, I can be sure to take you to Fengzhou."

Song Qing scratched the back of his head, jumped off the mule cart, and walked to Song Yao. "Don't worry, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I will definitely listen to you."

"Haha, okay." Song Yao arranged, "You should set up the tent first. It's going to rain tonight. If we don't set up the tent, we'll be soaked to the skin at night."

Although they had a carriage, the space in the carriage was too narrow and it was not comfortable to sleep in it. The tent was more spacious and comfortable to sleep in.

"No problem!" Song Qing patted his chest, called Song Mingxuan, and went to set up the tent.

Because Song Yao was a woman, she didn't go back to the inn, so they set up two tents.

It was not even midnight yet, and Song Yao couldn't sleep, so she walked into the tent where Song Qing and the others were and started chatting with them.

After this chat, time quickly came to three quarters past midnight.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Yao prepared to go back to the tent to sleep.

But as soon as we left the tent, it started to rain outside.

Song Yao returned to the tent and said to Song Qing and the others, "It's raining outside. Be careful tonight. I'm going to bed first."

"Okay!" Song Qing nodded.

After Song Yao left, Song Qing asked Song Mingxuan, "Mingxuan, is this place really haunted?"

Song Mingxuan glared at him, "Are you crazy at this time of night?"

Song Qing curled his lips and said, "I'm just asking."

Song Mingxuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "He's asleep."

He was afraid of ghosts to begin with, and the mention of that word late at night made him nervous.

After lying down, Song Qing also fell asleep.

In the tent next door, Song Yao had just fallen asleep when clear and distinct footsteps were heard outside.

She frowned, stood up, and shouted outside the tent, "Who? Is it Song Qing? Or my second brother?"

The footsteps outside suddenly stopped, and it sounded as if they stopped outside her tent.

"Song Qing?" Song Yao called out.

There was still no sound outside.

"Damn it! If any of you dare to tease me, I will kill you!" Song Yao was furious and picked up the long sword beside him.

She drew her sword, walked to the door of the tent, and lifted the tent curtain, only to find that there was no one outside!

Song Yao frowned tightly. She had just clearly felt footsteps outside, but why was there no one there?

Song Yao lowered her eyes and saw the footprints on the ground in the dim light!
