The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 550 Concubine Hui is out (six more)
Ye Xueying ordered the team to go to a deserted place.Taking out the worry-free branch to block the detection of the mages, in an instant, Ye Xueying retracted the paper puppet.Then, with four guards, she continued to walk towards the Qianqing Palace.

When approaching Qianqing Palace, Ye Xueying met Emperor Shang.

It turned out that the ghosts fighting in Wanhua Pavilion had alarmed the mages.The mage was shocked after checking it. There were six female corpses on the scene, one of which was the female officer next to the queen mother.They immediately notified the emperor.

Shang Huang was about to go to find out what was going on. When he saw Ye Xueying, he smiled and asked, "Xueying, are you here to contact me?"

Ye Xueying pretended to be surprised and said: "Didn't you look for me? I came to see you by order!"

Emperor Shang frowned and said, "I have never made such a decree."

Ye Xueying said: "Ah? A eunuch came to Hanying Hall today and said that you asked me to meet at the Wanhua Pavilion in the Imperial Garden during Haishi. I think it's a bit weird. The emperor has never asked me out, so I first came to Qianqing Palace to ask."

When Emperor Shang heard Wanhua Pavilion, he was shocked.Isn't that where the murder happened?He immediately understood, and he was glad in his heart that Concubine Ming was smart enough to not go to the appointment, but came to ask himself.

Emperor Shang immediately said: "Something happened in Wanhua Pavilion. I am not free tonight. You go back to the palace to rest. I will come to see you another day."

Ye Xueying obediently agreed.

Shang Huang hurried to Wanhua Pavilion, which was controlled by the mages.All six female ghosts are bound by spells.

When Emperor Shang arrived, he saw six female corpses, one of which was the queen mother's female officer, who had been stabbed to death with a dagger.On the other side are five court ladies around the age of 30.Judging by the calluses on the skin and hands, they should be palace ladies.The leading one is holding a dagger and wearing Ming concubine's clothes.The other two were also dressed as mages next to Concubine Ming, and the other two were dressed as Martial Immortals next to Concubine Ming.

Shang Huang got angry and had a headache when he saw it, and the mages also saw it.Tonight is obviously a conspiracy against Concubine Ming.

Shang Huang looked at the six female ghosts and asked, "What's going on?"

The ghost of the female official cried: "Your Majesty, someone said that Duan Concubine wanted to see me tonight and asked me to meet here. So I came. Unexpectedly, Duan Concubine didn't see her, but it was Ming Concubine who was here. She didn't say a few words. , they restrained me, and the concubine Ming killed me with a dagger. I thought it was the concubine Ming who killed me, but after a while, these five people suddenly died. After death, their true colors appeared, but it was these five The maid."

Emperor Shang frowned and asked, "How did these five people die? Who killed them?"

The ghost of the female officer shook her head and said, "I didn't see the murderer, but I saw them suddenly fall down and die."

A mage said on the side: "No spell fluctuations were detected at the scene."

Archmage Ling Yi said: "The murderer may have come in invisible to kill, and he used martial arts when killing. Judging from the scars, the murderer is at least at the level of a true immortal."

Martial Dao Zhenxian is equivalent to a Nascent Soul-level archmage.

Emperor Shang frowned. There was a true martial arts immortal in the palace who was killing people randomly. This was not a good thing.

Emperor Shang said: "Ask these five people who ordered them to come here to kill people and who cast the transformation spell on them."

The archmage nodded, and used power words on the five female ghosts respectively.The five female ghosts couldn't help themselves, and started talking endlessly.

It turned out that they were called by Hai Qiuhai, the eunuch next to Concubine Hui, a few days ago. Hai Gong ordered them to do this, saying that if they did it well, they would be rewarded, and if they didn't do it, they would not only kill them, but also their whole family. .They were forced to have no choice but to obey orders.Before coming here today, a masked sorcerer cast a spell on them, and they turned into concubines Ming and the others.

Emperor Shang frowned, this matter is really complicated and confusing, it has been involved in several palaces now.The female official said that it was Concubine Duan who invited her to come, but the five maids said that Concubine Hui was the envoy.Concubine Ming said that she made the appointment.

Emperor Shang said to Gonggong An: "Tell Duan Concubine to come here to see me, and then order someone to bring Hui Concubine and the eunuch to see me."

Eunuch An was ordered to go. After a while, Hui concubine came anxiously.

After entering the Wanhua Pavilion, seeing the female corpse and female ghost in front of her, Concubine Hui screamed in fright.

Shang Huang shouted coldly: "Shut up!"

Hui Bin immediately covered her mouth.She composed herself and asked, "What's the matter with the emperor's concubine?"

Shang Huang looked behind her and asked, "Who is Haiqiu?"

Hui Bin said uneasily: "Hai Qiu is gone. I couldn't find him. What happened?"

Emperor Shang pointed to the five female ghosts and said, "They said that Hai Qiu ordered them to kill people here."

At this time, Hai Qiu's soul was lost and his words were silenced.

Concubine Hui was frightened half to death, plopped on the ground, and cried: "Your Majesty, I swear, I never ordered him to do such a thing. I don't know who ordered that dog servant to harm me like this!"

Emperor Shang stared at Concubine Hui coldly.

Concubine Hui was in a hurry, she recognized the female officer.She said eagerly: "Your Majesty! There is no benefit to the concubine from killing the empress dowager's female official. How could the concubine do such a thing that hurts others and does not benefit oneself."

Emperor Shang sneered: "Look at the clothes these five people are wearing, do they look familiar?"

Hui Bin looked at it for a while, then she suddenly understood and felt a chill all over her body.This must have been done by those people. Yes, not only did they want to kill the concubine, they also wanted to frame me and get rid of me too.They want to kill me and steal my son!

She gritted her teeth with hatred, feeling that this was the most dangerous moment for herself, and if she made a wrong answer, she would be crushed to pieces.She kowtowed her head and cried, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged! I have always been on good terms with my concubine Ming, and I have never quarreled with her. I dare not harm her. If the emperor doesn't believe me, my concubine Willing to be tested by the Law School."

Hui concubine was willing to risk everything.The examination at the Master's Court is not that easy, and you may be asked about all the bad things you have done in the past.She would rather admit to the crimes she had committed before than bear the charge of trying to murder Ming's concubine and murdering the Queen Mother's female official.

She had killed a beauty and several court ladies before.In comparison, that crime was much less serious than that.

Shang Huang sneered: "You said that, take her down to ask."

The archmage nodded lightly.

Emperor Shang sent a message: "Ask me clearly and see what she did when she entered the palace."

The archmage nodded calmly, and looked at Concubine Hui sympathetically.

Hui Bin was led down with a pale face.

Emperor Shang waited for a while and asked, "Where is the concubine?"

An Haiqing said in a low voice: "According to people in her palace, Concubine Duan went out at night and hasn't returned yet."

Shang Huang looked at the archmage and said, "Check it out and see where she went."

The Archmage mobilized the magic circle, checked the palace, and said in confusion: "Strange, no one can be found!"

The Emperor Shang said with a livid face: "Check again to see if she has left the palace?"

The archmage checked again, and said with a strange face: "Concubine Duan did not leave the palace, but there is no one in the palace."

Emperor Shang was furious, and said: "Send people to search, and all the palaces will look for it. I don't believe it. Where can she hide?"
