"Princess Zhao's tongue was so long... Later, the boss broke Concubine Zhao's neck. Ah, Concubine Zhao's tongue was just hanging in the air, trembling..." Concubine Ou spoke vividly while sticking out her red tongue to demonstrate to Xia Qi.
As if she was afraid that Xia Qi didn't know how long a person's tongue could be stretched out, Ou Bin pulled out her own tongue, stretching it out like a hanged ghost.
After saying this, Concubine Ou seemed to remember the scene of Concubine Zhao's death, and her whole body shook violently twice.
After hearing the whole story of how his boss killed Concubine Zhao, Xia Qi still felt a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, if we don't eat meat, how will we solve the problem of food?" Xia Qi asked the most puzzling question in his heart.
Xia Qi had a total of 10 compressed biscuits on him, and he gave 4 of them to his sister. Although these compressed biscuits are easy to fill you up, they won't last you for 7 days even if you eat them sparingly.
Hearing this, Ou Bin was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Don't they send you food?"
Listening to what Concubine Ou said, Xia Qi suddenly understood that Concubine Lin was deliberately starving them.
"So, the food sent from the imperial kitchen is still edible?" Xia Qi asked back.
"That's right. If it's food made from special meat, I believe you can tell it at a glance. As for other foods, you can eat them without worry." Ou Bin scratched her face and said, "However, the food in the palace is very small. You should grow some for yourself when you have time."
After explaining the food issue to the two, Ou Bin still couldn't forget the boss's terrifying appearance and started to nag about the boss again. Xia Qi suddenly interrupted him and said, "Okay, you can leave quickly."
"Ah? You are so heartless, why are you sending me away so soon!" Oupin was completely wilted. It had been a long time since he had seen his boss kill someone with his own eyes. This time, the violent death of Concubine Zhao brought him a great visual shock. He didn't dare to go back alone.
The younger sister carefully placed the flower pot with the seeds on the table and said to him, "If you don't leave now, are you waiting for Concubine Lin to come and chase you away?"
Concubine Ou has been here for almost 30 minutes. If she stays any longer, Concubine Lin will really become suspicious.
"Wow." Unexpectedly, just one day later, the little girl spoke coldly to him. Ou Bin stood up aggrievedly and walked away, looking back every few steps.
"Do you believe him?" the younger sister asked after Oubin left.
"Believe it for now." Xia Qi replied calmly.
Ou Bin has a lot of strange things on her body. Even if she doesn't eat buns, she won't starve to death. This is why Xia Qi chose to trust Ou Bin temporarily. After all, he bought his compressed biscuits from Ou Bin.
Although he still doesn't know where Oupin got the energy to be promoted to the position of concubine, it must not be difficult for Oupin to solve the problem of food, and he doesn't have to eat that bun.
The two discussed for a few sentences in the room. After a while, unexpectedly, Concubine Lin's maid suddenly felt guilty and asked the two to go out for dinner.
Xia Qi was quite surprised at the flattering performance of the second-class palace maid. Little did he know that the newly appointed second-class palace maid did not dare to offend him, so she did not withhold the food of the two.
Looking at the white flour buns and lean meat porridge on the table, my sister was still a little hesitant and asked, "Can I eat this?"
Xia Qi broke open a steamed bun and found no meat or hair inside, so he said, "The bun should be edible."
Because the shadow cast by the imperial kitchen on the two was too heavy, neither of them dared to drink the lean meat porridge, but only ate a small steamed bun of their own.
After the meal, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. The second-class palace maids did not dare to order Xia Qi too much, so they sent two of them to sweep the floor.
Of course, she didn't expect the two of them to clean it up, just not to cause her trouble.
As Xia Qi was sweeping, he returned to the vicinity of the palace maid's room where he had lived. For some unknown reason, he couldn't help but step into the room where he had lived, wanting to see what was inside.
It would have been fine if he hadn't gone in. Once he went in, even Xia Qi was almost scared. He saw that his original wardrobe had disappeared and turned into a pile of sawdust and powder on the ground.
How resentful was the Ghost King that he even blew up his wardrobe
Just as Xia Qi was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that something was wrong in the room.
After taking a careful look around the room, Xia Qi discovered that the bedding on his bed was gone!
I saw that the moldy quilt that was originally placed on his bed and covered him was gone without a trace, leaving only the pile of human-shaped bedding next to it.
Even his quilt was not spared
This is so shameful.
Xia Qi's expression twisted for a moment. That was a moldy quilt. If the Ghost Emperor wanted to take it away, could he replace it with the quilt he had slept on tonight
Xia Qi stood there awkwardly for a while, then left the room with a strange expression.
When his sister saw him coming out, his face looked strange and she asked, "Brother Xia, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Xia Qi turned his head away to hide his slightly red face, and said, "Are you going to investigate outside Concubine Lin's room tonight?"
"Of course I'll go." My sister pursed her lips and answered in a low voice, "I want to know... whether Concubine Lin is a cannibal like Concubine Wu."
According to the conclusion of their discussion today, they suspected that the way to upgrade this palace fighting game was to gain energy by eating people, but the examples were not enough now. They had to see whether Concubine Lin would eat his maid tonight.
Before the sun set, the two had completed their mission and returned to their rooms.
"Noble Concubine Lin is even more cunning than Concubine Wu. I'm afraid she won't let us hear the crying when she deals with the maid." After it was completely dark, Xia Qi guessed that Noble Concubine Lin might have already taken action.
After all, at that time, Concubine Wu didn't even bother to stop the yellow-haired girl's mouth, and just started eating her raw.
"Let's go and take a look." My sister was obviously unable to sit still and took the initiative to ask to go and check it out.
When the two of them were sweeping the floor today, they had already explored Shouju Palace thoroughly. They climbed out of their room through the window and walked directly to the back of Concubine Lin's bedroom.
Along the way, the two of them crouched and walked carefully among the grass and bushes.
In order to keep an eye on the two men, Concubine Lin lived in a side hall not far from the main hall. After walking for a few minutes, the two men came to Concubine Lin's window.
After the two of them squatted down, Xia Qi felt something was wrong.
According to Concubine Lin's cautious habit, there should be spies everywhere around them, but the two of them just walked all the way here without any obstruction. Even Xia Qi, who was always very careful, did not see any guards hiding in the dark.
"It's impossible for the guards to go back to rest after get off work..." Xia Qi couldn't help but think, logically speaking, NPCs stay in the dark during the day, and night is the time for NPCs to come out and relax, how come there is no one here
Just as Xia Qi was thinking, suddenly, the voice of the second-class palace maid in Concubine Lin's room was heard, and the second-class palace maid said, "My Lady Concubine, the person has been tied up. Please move to the inner room to enjoy it."
"Okay." Concubine Lin's voice was calm, as if she was used to it.
Then, the footsteps of Concubine Lin and the palace maid were heard in the bedroom. It seemed that they had left. Xia Qi and the maid looked at each other, and Xia Qi mouthed: "Climb in?"
His sister nodded at him.
After Concubine Lin and the palace maid entered the inner room, my sister carefully raised her hand and slowly pushed open Concubine Lin's window.
At this time, Concubine Lin had already left the room. The bedroom was dark and one could only vaguely see the interior decoration of the room.
Xia Qi patted his sister's shoulder and said to her, "I'll go in first."
His sister nodded and held a window with one hand for him so that he could climb in smoothly.
Xia Qi held onto the windowsill, pushed hard with both hands on the window sill, hooked one leg on the window sill, and used the other leg to lift up, then he flipped over the window.
As soon as he landed on the ground and hadn't yet stood firmly, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and supported him.
The sudden appearance of this hand frightened Xia Qi so much that his heart stopped and he almost let out a scream!
Why is there someone else in the room?!
Xia Qi was just about to take out his trident and stab the man next to him, but unexpectedly the man quickly raised his hand and blocked his lips with two fingers.
Feeling the touch on his lips, Xia Qi blinked and turned to look at the person next to him.
He saw the Ghost King standing quietly with a familiar smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Xia Qi: “…”
Why is he here again
The Ghost King looked at him with a smile, and Xia Qi unexpectedly saw from his face the expression of Jiang Taigong who was waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Xia Qi raised his hand speechlessly, pressed down the Ghost Emperor's hand that was blocking his lips, and looked at him helplessly.
The Ghost Emperor made a gesture to him and pulled Xia Qi's right hand, indicating that they should go and see Concubine Lin together.
Looking at the Ghost Emperor's natural movements, Xia Qi shook his head and cast a helpless look at his sister outside the window.
My sister was already frightened when she saw the Ghost King appear in the room just now.
She waved at Xia Qi like a lucky cat, then pursed her lips, showing a sympathetic expression, and mouthed: "Just bear with it."
After saying this, she was very considerate and closed the window for the two of them.
Xia Qi: “…”
Seeing his sister leave on her own initiative without leaving any way out for Xia Qi, the Ghost Emperor couldn't help but feel very happy and the smile on his face became even bigger.
The reason why Xia Qi could see him smiling was thanks to the faint LED light emitted by the Ghost King. In the dark night, the Ghost King was like a flashlight for the miners and a guiding light for the enemy to confirm their targets.
Seeing that he had no choice, Xia Qi squeezed the Ghost Emperor's hand and raised his chin towards Concubine Lin's inner room.
The Ghost King narrowed his eyes, happily pulled Xia Qi, and slowly walked towards Concubine Lin's inner room.
Since he was being led by the Ghost King, Xia Qi was not worried about any danger. Taking advantage of the Ghost King's ability to glow at night, he carefully glanced at Concubine Lin's room.
Unlike the imagined room of a noble lady, Concubine Lin's room is very much like a man's room. Her cabinets, bed, tables, chairs, benches, etc. are all modern styles. On an ebony wooden bed, a black quilt is meticulously folded.
Judging from Concubine Lin's bed, which was not very thick and had a lot of space underneath, Concubine Lin was not a fan of Simmons mattresses. However, Xia Qi thought of something deeper. He did not expect that this person, who was in a high position, would not deliberately enjoy the country of tenderness. It can be seen that he had a very rigorous character and was very self-disciplined.
The two walked slowly and came to the inner room.
Fortunately, the door of the inner room without windows was not closed tightly. Under the protection of the Ghost King, Xia Qi put his head close to the crack of the door.
He frowned and looked inside, only to see the maid being pinned to the ground by two palace servants, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth. Concubine Lin was standing opposite the maid, and said to her with a look of regret: "You have been with me for a long time, so I will not torture you anymore."
"Wuwuwu." The maid made a whimpering sound, her eyes wide open, looking at Concubine Lin with fear in her eyes.
"You know you've been eliminated. Do you want to go to the reincarnation hell? With your ability, you can't get out of the reincarnation hell. You might as well give me experience points." Although Concubine Lin said this, her eyes were cold. As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand, pressed it on the maid's forehead, and said lightly, "Don't worry, I won't let you feel any pain."
"Wuwuwu!" The tears in the maid's eyes flowed like a flood. Even Xia Qi, who was outside the door, could see the maid's desire to survive.
However, Concubine Lin was not soft-hearted. She reached out and pressed hard on the maid's crown, then raised her hand and pulled out a wisp of something like white smoke.
The smoke looked very much like a human shape, and more like the human soul in a horror movie. As the soul was sucked out, the maid's eyes began to slowly lose focus, and finally her eyes rolled back, her head tilted, and she died on the spot.
Looking at the maid's death, Xia Qi's pupils trembled violently and he was shocked beyond words.
The Concubine Wu next door eats people, and the Concubine Lin here wants to eat souls alive? !
Sure enough, after a while, Concubine Lin took a deep breath and inhaled the two wisps of white smoke of the soul that gathered and dispersed from time to time into her nasal cavity.
After sucking up half of the soul, Concubine Lin's eyes lit up and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "The soul of a first-class palace maid tastes pretty good."
After digesting the soul, his whole face became brighter, and Xia Qi saw that it was a sign of increased charm.
Seeing Concubine Lin enjoying the soul, the two palace servants who were holding the palace maid beside her couldn't help but reveal greedy expressions, and they both made the sound of swallowing saliva in unison.
The soul, like human flesh, is an unbearable temptation. The two palace maids licked their lips and couldn't help but loosen their hands that were holding the maid.
Without the support of the two palace maids, the dead maid fell backwards with a "bang", and the back of her head hit the wooden table.
There happened to be a bowl of tea on the wooden table at that moment. The tea was accidentally touched and fell to the ground with a "bang", splashing several water splashes and fragments.
"Ah!" Concubine Lin was splashed with tea, and he, who has always been a germaphobe, immediately looked displeased.
"Your Majesty! Please spare our lives!" The two palace maids knew they were wrong and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Concubine Lin knew that the two wanted to eat souls, which caused the tea to spill.
He frowned, threw the remaining soul balls in his hand to the two of them, and said, "You guys take your time eating, I'll go back and change my clothes."
At this point, Concubine Lin lifted her skirt and prepared to walk out from the inner room.
Xia Qi, who was standing at the door, was so frightened when he saw Concubine Lin was about to come out that his heart started beating wildly and he turned around and tried to run away.
When cleaning the room today, he had surveyed the terrain of Concubine Lin's room, because the inner room was directly facing the corridor of the main entrance. If they went out of the main entrance at this time, Concubine Lin would be able to see the two of them when she came out.
At this moment, I can only return to Concubine Lin’s bedroom.
Xia Qi gritted his teeth, took the Ghost Emperor's hand, and quickly retreated to Concubine Lin's bedroom.
"Click, click." Concubine Lin seemed to be walking quite fast. She quickly walked out of the inner room and headed towards the bedroom.
At this time, Xia Qi had reached the position between the window and the bed. It was too late to climb through the window. Just as he was hesitating whether to get behind the screen, the Ghost King suddenly pressed the back of his head and gently pushed him to the ground, indicating that the space under Concubine Lin's bed was empty.
Looking at Concubine Lin's bed sheet hanging on the ground, Xia Qi suddenly woke up. The Ghost Emperor wanted him to hide under the bed.
“Pah, pah.”
Listening to the footsteps of Concubine Lin getting closer and closer, Xia Qi gritted his teeth and decided to fight today!
He hurriedly lay down on the ground, lowered his head and crawled under Concubine Lin's bed. At the moment Concubine Lin arrived in the room, the Ghost King also crawled under the bed.
In order to make Xia Qi lie comfortably, the Ghost Emperor even rushed to put one arm behind his neck. He also turned sideways with great skill and courage, and put one leg directly on his knees, hugging Xia Qi.
Xia Qi, hiding under the bed, nervously grabbed his clothes and listened to the noises made by Concubine Lin in the room.
After Concubine Lin came in, she first opened the wardrobe with a "click", and then began to change her clothes. After changing her clothes, just when Xia Qi thought that Concubine Lin was going out, Concubine Lin suddenly walked towards the bed!
"Pah, pah." There were two sounds, and Concubine Lin seemed to have thrown off her shoes. Then, Xia Qi felt the bed board above his head sink.
Concubine Lin did not go out again, but lay down on the bed directly!
Xia Qi: “…”
Is Concubine Lin about to go to sleep
Xia Qi was under the bed, staring blankly at the bed board above his head. After waiting for a long time, he found that Concubine Lin had no intention of getting up.
I’m afraid I can’t go out tonight.
Xia Qi carefully turned his head and looked at the Ghost King who was hugging him with a smile on his face. He felt that it was a wrong decision to come here to investigate today.
