In Prince Zhao's mansion, Wei Qing and Princess Xiyue were in front, and Jindou and Xie Xiaohu followed behind, walking slowly forward.

As Jindou walked forward, he felt the surrounding atmosphere. Gradually, his brows furrowed.

At night, Jindou and Song Yujiao, who were on duty, sat in the yard.

"Jindou, did you find anything at home during the day?" Song Yujiao asked in a low voice.

"Something big is likely to happen in the prince's mansion," Jindou said solemnly.

"Big thing, what big thing could it be?" Song Yujiao asked quickly.

Jindou was about to answer when he suddenly glanced behind the rockery next to him. A dark shadow flashed by and he was immediately startled. Looking carefully, he found that a man in black was hiding behind the rockery and waving at him.

Jindou was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, quickly stood up and said to Song Yujiao: "My second brother is here, please keep an eye on him for me" and hurriedly ran behind the rockery.

It turned out that when Wei Qing was strolling around the palace today, he noticed that Jin Dou was frowning all the time, and he didn't know why. At night, he was really worried about him, so he took advantage of the darkness and took the risk to sneak over.

Before he met Jindou, Wei Qing had been thinking that when he saw Jindou, he would definitely scold her harshly. But when he really met Jindou, he couldn't even utter a word of blame.

Moreover, because of the longing and worry for several days, as soon as he saw Jindou coming, his body went forward without his brain's control and hugged Jindou in his arms.

"Second brother" Jindou was startled and called out in a low voice.

Wei Qing reacted suddenly, his face flushed, and he quickly let go of his hands.

"Second Brother" Jindou didn't care about anything else and said hurriedly: "Today, I felt the breath of evil spirits in the mansion, and the breath was very strong!"

"Evil spirit?" Wei Qing was shocked.

"Yes, this evil spirit has been fed by blood and energy. Now, the evil power has become very strong," said Jindou.

"Then... what should we do now?" Wei Qing asked with a frown.

"Based on the aura I sensed today, the evil spirit may appear at any time. We'll figure out a solution then."

At this point, Jindou warned Wei Qing, "Second brother, you must be careful these next two days, because the evil spirit may appear at any time. If it sucks your yang energy, you will definitely die!"

"Okay." Wei Qing nodded and couldn't help but take another closer look at Jindou. Jindou usually wore men's clothes. Now Wei Qing saw Jindou wearing a maid's outfit and felt that she was particularly cute. He couldn't help but stroked Jindou's hair and reminded her: "You be careful too."

Seeing Jindou nod, he suppressed his reluctance and hurriedly jumped over the wall under the cover of night.

Two days later, King Zhao's birthday finally arrived, and a grand banquet was held in the palace.

The prefect of Lezhou City, local officials of all ranks, and wealthy local gentry all came, and for a while, the mansion was very lively.

Officials of all ranks, including Wei Qing, were placed in the outer courtyard. Jin Dou and Song Yujiao, accompanied by Princess Xiyue, entertained the female members of the family in the inner courtyard.

In the outer courtyard, the prefect of Lezhou raised his glass and said, "Today is the prince's birthday. We wish the prince eternal youth, happiness and good health!"

Upon hearing this, King Zhao also laughed heartily and raised his glass. "I am truly honored that you have come here today. Come, come, everyone, please have a few more drinks!"

Just as everyone raised their glasses and prepared to drink, they heard a sudden noise and screams from outside. Then, the palace steward came running in, looking extremely frightened, and said tremblingly: "Prince...Prince, Princess...Princess she...she..."

"What happened to the princess?" Prince Zhao walked up to the housekeeper and asked anxiously.

"The princess... the princess... Your Majesty, please go and take a look." The butler was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground before he could finish his words.

King Zhao didn't bother to ask any more questions, he just flicked his sleeves and walked out.

"Princess? Didn't Princess Zhao die a long time ago?" The prefect of Lezhou asked puzzledly.

"Yes, Princess Zhao passed away two or three years ago," another official said.

"Let's go out and take a look," another guest suggested.

Everyone in the courtyard suddenly followed Prince Zhao out when they saw several palace guards stumbling over. As soon as they saw Prince Zhao, they hurriedly reported, "Prince...Prince, it's bad! The princess has resurrected!"

"Princess Zhao is resurrected?" Everyone was shocked.

When the King of Zhao heard this, he was very happy and asked anxiously, "Where is the princess now?"

"Here...here..." Before the guard could finish his words, an extremely beautiful woman appeared in the distance, walking towards him step by step.

When everyone saw the woman's appearance, they immediately took a few steps back as if they had seen a ghost.

"Oh my god, this... isn't this Princess Zhao?"

"Didn't Princess Zhao die a long time ago? What...what is going on?" For a moment, everyone was so frightened that their hair stood on end.

Wei Qing stood among the crowd and suddenly remembered what Jindou said, but how could this living woman in the distance be an evil spirit?

"Yan'er, you finally woke up." In the yard, only King Zhao was not afraid. Instead, he said with tears in his eyes: "I finally waited for you to wake up."

At this time, the women in the inner courtyard heard the noise and came over together.

Princess Xiyue was walking in front. When she saw the woman opposite her, she was surprised and happy and shouted, "Mother!" and rushed over.

Jindou was too late to stop her from behind. Just as Princess Xiyue was about to run to the woman, her two eyeballs suddenly emitted a strange red light.

Suddenly, her face became ferocious, and she opened her mouth sharply, revealing two long fangs, turning into the appearance of a female ghost!

"Ah!" Everyone screamed in fear and stepped back.

Princess Xiyue was also shocked when she saw her mother suddenly become like this, and stopped in her tracks.

"Princess, come back soon!" Jindou shouted to the princess hurriedly.

When Princess Xiyue heard Jindou's cry, she reacted suddenly. Just as she was about to turn around and run back, she saw the female ghost suddenly stretch out her arms, which had grown a lot. They stretched in front of Princess Xiyue and strangled Princess Xiyue's neck fiercely.

"Ah!" Everyone in the yard screamed in fright!

Looking at his daughter struggling desperately in the ghost girl's hands, King Zhao hurriedly shouted to the guards on both sides: "Quick, go and rescue the princess!"

The guards on both sides dared not disobey and hurried forward one by one. However, before they could reach the ghost girl, she stretched out her arms and threw them out one by one. They fell to the ground one by one, their bones broken and wailing.

Seeing this, King Zhao ordered the remaining guards, "Quick, go and rescue the princess!"

But the remaining guards, looking at the miserable state of those guards who were thrown out and lying on the ground, trembled all over and dared not move forward.
