There were many people watching the excitement along the way, and they formed several circles inside and outside. Moreover, it was still clear sky and daylight at this time, and precisely because of this, no one would think that the dead would be so terrifying.
However, at this moment, piercing screams broke out from the silent crowd.
Because just under Wu Sheyue's touch, the thing seemed to suddenly have consciousness, and its dark and broken arms immediately bounced up. It waved in the air with a creaking sound, as if to hug the person in front of it.
And those people who were ordered to drag things to patrol the streets had faces as pale as death. They were half-doubtful about this thing, but when they came, the adult also said that it was definitely a lie...
"F-Fairy-"
"Killing someone—"
"Help!!!"
I don’t know who took the lead first. Everyone screamed and turned and ran away. The scene was particularly chaotic.
The live monsters were cleared out really quickly, and Wu Sheyue was extremely satisfied. Right, this is how the simple and ignorant working people in ancient times should react after seeing monsters...
At this time, only Shen Yanhuan was still standing there. Although she was still standing, her expression was expressionless. Wu Sheyue stood up, clapped her hands and said to her: "Okay, the road is clear, let's go."
"This..." is too simple and crude!
Wu Sheyue ignored the pile of exposed things on the ground and walked straight away. Fortunately, it's not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, just walking. It was extremely strange that those broken bodies that looked like real ones were left on the deserted street. Shen Yanhuan couldn't help but look back a few times.
Wu Sheyue took the initiative to explain: "It's just wood or something, um... the principle of leverage."
"I, I understand." Shen Yanhuan pretended to be calm and blinked.
—
The two of them arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shen Yanhuan stopped and said, "You go in first, I'll wait for you outside."
"Then... okay." Wu Sheyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. She must make a break with this "family" today.
Wu Sheyue came to Qunxingzhai alone and saw that the yard was full of people. The old lady fell ill, and the whole family, big and small, was naturally here. The atmosphere was very solemn, and although there were many people, it was silent.
Aunt Meng looked back at her first and said, "Oh, the third lady is back." Everyone looked over after hearing this.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Wu Sheyue ignored others and walked forward.
When Wu Liuyun saw her, he pointedly said, "I don't know yet. After all, my grandmother is old. Maybe there was some filth in the prime minister's house, which made her feel uncomfortable."
"What else are you hoping for? Sister is so tactful. Isn't this already a done deal?" Wu Jinghua sneered sarcastically, "The things in Third Sister's yard are really eye-opening! I was What did you say, you actually framed me!? The third sister is really good at it. If the elder brother hadn't been quick, I don't know how long I would have been harmed by your voodoo filth! Just wait and see how dad will deal with you. !”
Wu Sheyue smiled peacefully, "Do you think he will deal with me?"
"!" Wu Jinghua's pupils shrank suddenly.
Wu Sheyue took two steps toward her and laughed in a low voice: "Tsk, if only I had turned into a goblin, then you would have turned into excrement in someone's intestines~"
"Don't go too far-"
"Okay, don't disturb grandma and rest." Wu Ziqi sat on the chair and spoke gloomily to stop the argument. His gloomy eyes stared at Wu Sheyue with a smile but not a smile and said: "Princess Mingyue, you can Just take care of yourself. No matter how you tried to please the emperor before, but now you are using your strange power to confuse your spirit and have violated a big taboo, the young prince can’t help you!"
This was the first time he called Wu Sheyue Princess' identity, and it was probably the last time.
Ning Shuang held the child in her arms and silently took another step back, intending to stay away from the entire battlefield.
Wu Sheyue looked at Wu Ziqi condescendingly and said, "Brother, isn't your health also not good? Then you should cultivate yourself and cultivate your character, but don't worry too much."
Wu Ziqi narrowed his eyes, "The princess is right."

At this time, several ministers were arguing in the palace hall.
"Your Majesty, people in the imperial capital are in panic right now. This matter must be explained in order to appease the people."
“It’s impossible to cover up this matter now, too many people know about it.”
"What's the matter? Who doesn't know that Princess Mingyue seems to have changed into a different person? If this is really the transformation of a goblin... then of course she must eradicate her!"
The emperor is feeling worried now~ He is starting to regret it~ He has never seen such a difficult person to deal with in so many years like Wu Sheyue. He turned to Wu Hantian and said, "Wu Xiang, that is your daughter. You should know what happened to her."
"I... I don't know her for a long time." Wu Hantian lowered his head and wiped his sweat tremblingly. His once high-spirited appearance seemed to be much older, and his whole person looked sad and decadent, "I have been neglectful these years. Regarding her discipline, her temperament has changed drastically, and I dare not speak nonsense. I also ask the emperor to handle it as a matter of course. If my daughter is really wronged, I believe that the emperor can also give the Prime Minister a clean slate."
What he said was reasonable. The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you have nothing to say."
Wu Hantian remained silent, and many people cast aside their glances at Yu Jing at the right time. The young prince and this controversial princess have always been fighting fiercely. Why don't they express their stance now
The emperor straightened up and leaned back slightly. This Wu Sheyue was very skilled in craftsmanship. Not to mention being able to do fake things, it seemed that she could not even blow up a mountain. He had already figured it out, whether it was a double-edged sword or not, he really wanted to take advantage of this person. So no matter what happened now, he would never kill Wu Sheyue.
But... what should we do now that the city is in turmoil? Although he could probably guess that those ghosts were probably fake, but what he needed was for everyone to believe, so he had to find a way.
The corner of the emperor's mouth raised slightly, "Call him into the palace, I want to take a look." Yu Jing remained silent as if it was nothing to do with him, but he happened to look up and saw the emperor's expression, and his heart sank.
I heard the eunuch's high-pitched voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty, the third prince Mingqi is waiting for an audience outside."
The emperor was not surprised and just snorted coldly, "When did you come here again? Xuan."
Duanmu Qinghan walked into the hall in high spirits. He ran back and forth to Longfu several times. This time, his identity was revealed. He said in a hearty voice: "Your Majesty Long Fu, I am here to take Princess Mingqi and my aunt back on my father's order."
The emperor chuckled lightly, "Princess Mingqi? The third prince scared me when he came."
A minister reminded in a low voice, "The eldest princess is the fifth princess Duanmu Yinqiu and Shunhua Princess."
"How come the eldest princess is lying on my back?"
"Doesn't it mean that Princess Qichang has disappeared a long time ago..." (To be continued)
