Chapter 86 Kidnapping a Maid
"Only the dead are haunted."
Katsu Mansong then posed a well-known, seemingly obvious question: "Has anyone died in the Imperial Palace recently?"
"There were quite a few. When the Xuanbing Demon invaded, it killed all the imperial guards, and several concubines and maids in the harem also perished."

Sheng Wansong acted with restraint; he only killed the palace guards and eunuchs, and there was no possibility that he would harm the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, or young.
Although the rapid drop in temperature could have caused them to freeze to death, he quickly neutralized the temperature with the Tathagata Palm and restored everyone's life force.
Unless someone is already on the verge of death, it is impossible for them to die.
In other words, someone took the opportunity to kill someone and then framed the so-called Xuanbing Demon.
Although this identity is meant to be a scapegoat, it's a scapegoat for oneself, not for some inexplicable harem struggle.
"It seems that the young hero already has an idea."
"Take me to see it first."
The Empress herself would not lead the way; it was Ning'er who skipped and hopped ahead of her.
As the two left, a woman hid in a corner of the courtyard wall.
She was someone who hadn't yet grasped the situation and was still focused on palace intrigue.
"The Empress is having an affair! I'll definitely tell His Majesty when he returns!"
"She has taken up residence in the Hall of Mental Cultivation without permission and used her cronies to control the palace. His Majesty will definitely have that woman beheaded!"
""
Sheng Wansong followed Ning'er and noticed that as they moved forward, they deliberately avoided the direction of Dan Pavilion.
"I think I heard a scream?"
Ning'er looked flustered and forced a change of topic, "It's a cat, a cat!"
"Consort Hua loved keeping cats the most; there were dozens of free-roaming cats in the Forbidden City!"
Cat.
Sheng Wansong did not expose her lie.
Inside the alchemy pavilion, the old emperor's soul remained nailed to the alchemy furnace.
The color of the holy arrow has dimmed somewhat compared to the beginning, and at this rate, it will likely dissipate completely in about a hundred days.
The number of infant souls within the Dan Pavilion has also decreased significantly compared to the beginning.
Some infant spirits with less hatred gradually lost their resentment after their great revenge was achieved, and have already entered the cycle of reincarnation.
The rest are those who are blinded by their obsessions and unwilling to break free.
With an inexhaustible supply of nutrients, their spiritual bodies became increasingly refined and powerful.
The energy provided by the Holy Arrow would restore the old emperor's voice, even if it became hoarse, allowing him to continuously unleash his wailing.
The area surrounding Dan Pavilion was designated a restricted zone by Feng Xuanji, prohibiting anyone from approaching.
They wouldn't leave until they had finished eating the old emperor.
After they are eaten, they will cause a disaster in the harem.
Feng Xuanji was not investigating this scandal that was clearly related to the emperor, but rather something else that was being investigated by Sheng Wansong.
Their destination was the imperial harem.
This was the third time they passed by the inner palace. This time, they didn't bypass it, but went inside.
This is also an impact of the emperor's death.
If the emperor were still alive, how could Feng Xuanji possibly allow men into the harem?
Having finally arrived at the long-awaited harem, Katsumansatsu was not in a good mood.
I feel it's not as good as... Ouyang Xue.
The palace maids and concubines I met along the way were more beautiful than ordinary people, but they were far from being considered stunning beauties.
Think about it.
Emperor Ying was not interested in women. What difference did it make whether the women in his harem were beautiful or ugly? They were only brought into the palace for his own use.
These concubines were mostly daughters of powerful and influential families, the product of marriage alliances aimed at consolidating the throne.
"Young Master Sheng seems quite disappointed?"
Ning'er smiled, as if she had guessed his thoughts.
Do you think he wouldn't know what men are thinking when they come to the harem?
"How could that be?"
Sheng Wansong smiled and said, "With Miss Ning'er here, it's enough to satisfy all the expectations that ordinary people have for the harem."
Bang.
Just like a kettle boiling water, Ning'er's entire face turned bright red.
The little girl has a really low immune system.
However, this is not her fault. She had lived in the palace with the Empress since she was a child, and all she saw were eunuchs or officials old enough to be her grandfather.
In various period dramas, these maids are the most easily deceived by sweet words, revealing information and betraying their masters.
She's an even easier character to handle than the young lady.
I thought that being kept by the Empress's side would be different, but it turned out to be the same.
Of course, this also depends on the person; if they are ugly, they won't have this effect.
Sheng Wansong had no intention of deceiving the young girl.
He didn't say anything further to provoke her, and kept his mouth shut, continuing to follow Ning'er.
Ning'er, however, kept glancing sideways at Sheng Wansong after remaining silent.
"Rumors of the young hero have been heard from time to time in the palace, but I never expected that he could actually catch ghosts."
He finally managed to utter a sentence, but then he looked up.
The person involved has left the original spot and is heading straight for a well.
I don't know if they heard it or not.
Ning'er quickly followed, "Young hero, how did you know it was this well that was haunted?!"
There are ghosts.
Sheng Wansong pointed to the wellhead.
Ning'er swallowed hard and cautiously peered down into the well.
It was pitch black; you couldn't see anything.
"Ordinary people can't see ghosts."
Sheng Wansong reached out and touched Ning'er's eyes.
Before she could even feel shy, her face turned deathly pale with fright.
Down in the well, a bloodshot, menacing eye stared intently at her.
The face was deathly pale, with messy black hair stuck to it, and black liquid kept spitting out of its mouth.
Ning'er was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud. "Consort Shu! It's Consort Shu! She slipped and fell into the well that night because the ground was too slippery and drowned!"
She died unjustly.
Sheng Wansong grabbed the female ghost by the hair and pulled her out. "What grudge do you hold?"
Ordinary ghosts like these die when exposed to light.
But in Sheng Wansong's hands, the sunlight did not harm her life.
Not every ghost can maintain its sanity.
The female ghost was already dominated by resentment and instinctively wanted to attack all the living beings in front of her.
Sheng Wansong shook his head, took out a paper fan and threw her in, "Xiaoqian, give her a performance."
He held the fan in front of his eyes.
Ning'er curiously went closer and saw two figures resembling ink paintings in the mountains.
One of them grabbed the other's hair and kept pushing her face into the water, while also punching and kicking her.
So ghosts fight just like ordinary people.
An hour later, Consort Shu obediently knelt on the ground, "It was Consort Hua, that vile woman, who killed me."
Sheng Wansong snapped his fingers.
"Done."
He smiled at the bewildered Ning'er, "After that, all we need to do is let the two of them confront each other."
"After Consort Hua is punished, she will surely be free."
Consort Shu nodded repeatedly, as if she were pounding garlic.
After that, it was all about the affairs of the harem.
The courtesan knows not the sorrow of a fallen nation.
Even when the country was on the verge of collapse, and even when they lost the emperor's favor, the women in the harem did not forget to plot against and fight each other.
Sheng Wansong wasn't interested in the scenes of women pulling each other's hair and didn't watch until the end.
"I think the reward offered by the Queen will not disappoint me."
The very next day, Ning'er packed her bags and moved into Sheng Wansong's courtyard.
The little girl blushed and explained, "After I reported everything that happened yesterday to the Empress, she let me come to work, but I'm still receiving the royal salary."
The Queen wasn't lacking in ghost hunters; she was simply looking for an opportunity to establish a relationship with Sheng Wansongla.
She was also looking for a way out.
