The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Night slowly descended like a heavy curtain, and everything seemed immersed in silence.

There were no candles in the ancestral hall, and it was pitch black.

The wind blew from nowhere, raging between the two rows of trees, making bursts of shrill whimpers, like the sobbing of lonely ghosts.

Those long branches are like evil spirits with bared fangs and claws, which makes people feel afraid.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the bushes next to him at an astonishing speed.

Ye Ziyan only saw a shadow floating past the window.

Her heart tightened: "It can't be a ghost."

At this moment, the door chain made a sound, and then the door was pushed open with a "creak".

Under the dim moonlight, a woman in white clothes with blood on her chest appeared in front of Ye Ziyan.

Her long hair was loose, revealing only half of her pale face, with blood dripping from under her eyes.

"Ah! You, who are you?" Ye Ziyan's legs were shaking with fear.

The female ghost said fiercely, "Give me your life! I am a ghost who takes my life!"

She stretched out her hands and tried to grab Ye Ziyan.

"No, no!" Ye Ziyan was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and her hands kept shaking.

Every time the ghost in white took a step forward, Ye Ziyan took a step back.

"You can't run away. Give me your life. Today is the day you die!" the female ghost shouted.

Ye Ziyan retreated to the front of the tablet. She made up her mind, picked up the tablet and smashed it directly at the female ghost.

The female ghost dodged to the side, smashing the tablet empty, and Ye Ziyan quickly picked up the next tablet and continued smashing...

She desperately shouted: "Help, help, someone is killing someone..."

The female ghost was sometimes hit by the tablet and her head would bleed.

Ye Ziyan looked at the female ghost coming to her: "Go away, go away!"

The female ghost grabbed Ye Ziyan's neck with both hands and said, "Go to hell!"

Ye Ziyan kept trying to pull the female ghost's hands apart, but it was of no use. She had difficulty breathing.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from not far away, and they were coming towards this side.

The female ghost quickly let go of her hand and quickly jumped out, disappearing without a trace.

Ye Ziyan held her neck with one hand and kept coughing...

The moonlight was thin, barely illuminating the winding path ahead.

Prince Zhennan hurried to the ancestral hall with a few people.

A minister is celebrating his birthday tonight, so he will be back late.

I wanted to go to the princess's yard, but just as I reached the backyard, I heard a cry for help coming from the direction of the ancestral hall.

When they were almost at the yard, they saw a white shadow running in another direction. He waved his hand and two secret guards quickly chased after it.

A secret guard took out a tinder and lit the candle in the room.

By candlelight, Prince Zhennan saw a little girl on the ground coughing constantly.

He asked, "Who are you?"

Ye Ziyan raised her head and looked at the person in front of her, "I am Ye Qingyan, and I was sent here by the princess."

The Duke of Zhenguo looked her up and down. She had willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a fair and clean complexion.

He looked at her clothes and frowned: "Why are you here?"

Ye Ziyan didn't care. She didn't want to stay in this palace for a moment. If she continued to stay, she would lose her life.

She cut to the chase: "I just arrived today, and Ye Xinran accidentally broke the Ye family's ancestral bracelet and said it was me who broke it.

The princess believed what she said and locked me up here. I don’t want to be here anymore. I want to go back to the countryside.

Someone tried to assassinate me on the way here, but I barely escaped.

I was imprisoned here and someone came to kill me. I want to go back to my home in the countryside, otherwise I might die one day." After saying this, he began to sob.

"Tell me, how did Ye Xinran's bracelet break?" asked the Duke of Zhenguo.

Ye Ziyan then explained the whole story one by one.

The Duke of Zhenguo believed what she said. A young girl who had just arrived just wanted to gain a foothold and had no intention of making enemies, let alone the courage to snatch the Ye family's ancestral bracelet.

Anger flashed in his eyes: If anything happens to this girl, how will my Zhan Palace explain to the Emperor?

The emperor will definitely punish me. I deliberately humiliated Prince Zhan and wanted to kill him.

Now Qingyan is engaged, and the bad luck between her parents and her has been lifted.

He thought it over again and again, and ordered: "Come here, send the princess back to her courtyard.

Have Ye Wu and Ye Liu secretly protect the princess and ensure her safety. No one else should notice. Report any unusual activity to this king."

"Yes!"

Ye Ziyan was also smart and knelt down immediately: "Qingyan greets father."

Prince Zhennan nodded slightly, "There are many things to do in the palace, just do your best."

Seeing the tablets scattered all over the floor, Prince Zhennan was enraged. "How dare you kill even the princess? You're trying to destroy my Prince Zhennan's Palace!"

A secret guard quickly picked up the tablet on the ground and put it in order.

Ye Zi Yan returned to Ziyue Tower under the escort of two secret guards.

Prince Zhennan lit a stick of incense and chanted, "Ancestors of the Ye family, this unfilial descendant, Ye Nanxiong, is offering incense to you. You must bless the descendants of the Ye family to be safe and sound."

After finishing his work, he sat in a chair, calmed his mind, and thought:

Qingyan just came back today, and someone actually wants to kill her. Who has such courage? "

At this time, two secret guards came in with a woman with disheveled hair.

"Your Highness, it was she who dressed up as a ghost to scare the princess!"

Prince Zhennan said in a cold voice: "Raise your head!"

A secret guard pushed the ghost's long hair back and exclaimed, "Qiu Chan! Why is it you? Aren't you working in the Second Aunt's courtyard?"

Prince Zhennan was also shocked. Veins popped out of his forehead, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and his voice was like thunder: "Tell me, why did you kill the princess?"

Qiu Chan said confidently, "She deserves to die. She's a disaster. She shouldn't have come back. I'm going to kill her."

Prince Zhennan snorted coldly: "Tell me, who sent you?"

Qiu Chan knew that the truth was revealed and stopped talking.

"It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin. You want to murder the princess of Zhennan Palace, the future Princess Zhan, and there is only one way out, and that is death.

If you reveal the person behind this, I might be able to spare your family's life.

If you don't confess, your entire family will be buried with you, so you should think carefully about it."

"Come here, call the princess and the concubines."

The Prince of Zhennan sat there waiting...

…………

Ye Ziyan returned to Ziyue Tower, and Baoyue hurried over and advised, "Princess, why did you sneak back? The princess's order cannot be disobeyed. I will send you back right away.

If the princess's people find out, you'll be in trouble."

Ye Ziyan looked at Baoyue and said, "I don't need to go back. It was my father who allowed me to come back."

Baoyue said happily: "That's great! Princess, you must be hungry. I will go to the kitchen to bring you some food." Baoyue left after she said that.

Ye Ziyan looked at the silver in her clothes and found that she still had forty taels of silver. She calculated that it should be enough to hire a carriage to go back.
