Prince is a ghost

Chu Quan opened the door, and Song Shuangfei walked into the room with a plate of homemade snacks in his hands. Seeing Chu Quan's sober look, he asked, "Are you okay? Why haven't you gone out for most of the day?"

Chu Quan rubbed his eyebrows, trying to wake himself up.Chu Quan smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't sleep well last night."

Song Shuangfei nodded and said with a smile, "Did you get quarreled by the resentful spirits?"

"Yeah, I haven't completely gotten used to it even after being here for so long." Chu Quan couldn't help but miss his high-end villa by the sea.

"You still have to eat if you haven't slept well. You didn't eat lunch, are you hungry now?" Song Shuangfei put the snacks on the table, "Eat some."

Chu Quan was indeed hungry, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Song. But it's boring to eat alone, why not go with Brother Song?"

Song Shuangfei hesitated and said, "But the City Lord..."

Before Song Shuangfei finished speaking, Chu Quan said again: "I just happen to have some questions that I want to ask brother Song."

After Chu Quan said that, Song Shuangfei also sat down readily. "What? Are you having trouble reading again?"

Chu Quan put a small piece of snack into his mouth.To be honest, the taste of this snack was really not very good, it was too sweet and greasy, and Chu Quan put it down after only a few mouthfuls. "Brother Song, I went out for a walk yesterday with nothing to do. Although Anling City is a ghost town, it is still quite big, and I have only been to some places. I thought the whole city was a simple dwelling where the corpses of resentful spirits were placed. " Chu Quan paused, and continued: "I really didn't expect there to be such a big palace in the north of the city."

Song Shuangfei, who was drinking tea, put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Have you been there?"

"Well, I went in and took a walk. Naturally, I also saw the remains of the prince..." Chu Quan said bluntly.

"The palace in the northern city?" Song Shuangfei squinted his eyes and recalled, "I haven't been there for many years. Like you, I went there once when I first came to Anling City, and I went there at night, but I saw the prince. Wraith. However, the prince seems to dislike being disturbed, so I never went there again."

When Song Shuangfei said this, Chu Quan knew that this matter was not a secret that only a few people could know, so he stopped probing, and asked directly: "What happened to the prince of the palace during his lifetime? It stands to reason that as a member of the royal family, He is indispensable to prosperity and wealth, and no one dares to do anything to him. How could he end up full of resentment and hatred?"

Song Shuangfei looked at Chu Quan in surprise: "You don't know about this?"

Chu Quan was taken aback for a moment, thinking that I should know.He thought for a while, and said: "I know a little bit, but I don't know the specifics. Please also ask Brother Song to tell me the whole story."

"You're quite curious." Song Shuangfei filled the quilt cups of the two of them with water, and said slowly: "Actually, I probably don't know much more than you. When the prince went, I I haven't been born yet, and many things I heard from others later." Song Shuangfei lowered his voice: "I heard that the current emperor..."

Chu Quan smiled and said, "Brother Song, why are you so quiet? Could it be that there are other living people here besides us?"

Song Shuangfei said awkwardly: "You're right. The current emperor was the third prince of the late emperor. I heard that the late emperor and the late empress had been together for decades, and they were very affectionate. Although the late emperor had three thousand beauties in the harem, he only favored the empress. Ascended the throne For a few years, none of the concubines gave birth to an heir. In the year when the first emperor was established, there was only one prince, who was born by the empress, and the prince was established as the prince as soon as he was born. As long as there is a successor to Dayan, although there is only one prince, he is a legitimate son In the future, there will be no situation where princes kill each other for the throne regardless of brotherhood. The queen mother and all the ministers will also be left by the former emperor. But who would have thought that the prince died of a sudden illness when he was ten years old. Everyone was sad Yu, for the sake of Dayan's future, I would like to persuade the former emperor to favor other concubines more, after all, the empress at that time was almost 30 years old."

Chu Quan had the feeling that he was listening to ancient unofficial history, but why didn't Yan Xichao show up yet. "Then what?"

"Poor Empress Xian, who endured the pain of bereavement, and let the Emperor go to get close to other women. The Emperor had no choice but to... not long after, the then Concubine Zhuang, the current Empress Dowager, became pregnant. Shockingly, almost at the same time, the empress was born again. The former emperor was overjoyed, and all his thoughts were devoted to the empress. After October, the empress gave birth to another prince. Within a few days, Concubine Zhuang and her son were safe. .”

Chu Quan thought for a while and asked, "So, the prince in the north of the city is also the second prince conceived by the former emperor and the former empress?"

"That's right. With two princes, the previous emperor didn't immediately establish a crown prince, but anyone can tell that he belongs to the second prince. After all, the second prince is born of the empress."

"But in the end the second prince was poisoned, and the third prince succeeded in ascending the throne." Chu Quan didn't need to think about it, but he knew that what happened was nothing more than two people vying for the throne, and the winner became the king, and the loser became the bandit.

"About the palace change that year, there were many rumors in the market. At that time, the first emperor was seriously ill, and the empress and concubine and the two princes took turns serving the sick. For some reason, it suddenly came out that the second prince murdered his father and plotted against him. It is said that the second prince not only It was before the sick bed that he threatened the former emperor to make himself the crown prince, and ordered the general at that time to lead his soldiers to force the palace. The third prince immediately took tough measures and mobilized his own soldiers to suppress it. There was chaos in the palace for three days. In the end, the third prince captured the second prince and the general alive. After the third prince ascended the throne, he immediately executed the general, but he did not take action against the second prince for a long time, saying that he was concerned about brotherhood. It was not announced that the second prince died of illness until three years later."

Chu Quan was silent. He didn't know why he didn't kill Yan Xichao immediately. How could he not be afraid of night long dreams?Or simply to torture him?If this is the case, Yan Xichao lost the throne, was tortured by his younger brother for two years, and was poisoned to death in the end. He really lived a miserable life, and it would not be surprising to become a vengeful spirit.

Song Shuangfei took a sip of water, "The emperor knew that the second prince's body was gradually turning into a spirit, so he immediately sent him to Anling City. Speaking of which, the prince has been here for almost 40 years."

So if Yan Xichao hadn't died, he would be a 60-year-old man now?Thinking of his beautiful face, Chu Quan couldn't help feeling chills—he really couldn't imagine how such a beautiful man would look like when he was old.

However, the emperor knew that Yan Xichao must be very helpless after he became a resentful spirit.Chu Quan learned from the book that unless the resentful spirit puts down the grievances in his heart and enters reincarnation willingly, the resentful spirit will not disappear, even if the body is destroyed, it will be useless.The emperor had no choice but to imprison Yan Xichao's body and spirit in Anling City.

Seeing Chu Quan's pensive look, Song Shuangfei said, "Are you very interested in this matter?"

"It's just boring, listening to stories and having fun."

Song Shuangfei nodded, "That prince has been staying in the palace all the time, and he doesn't interfere with us, so don't bother him."

Chu Quan smiled and said, "That's natural."

Chu Quan really didn't look for Yan Xichao anymore, it wasn't that he wanted to draw a line with that wraith.It's just that if he wants to go to the north of the city, he must go at night, and his current ability has not reached the level where he can walk freely in Anling City at night, so he can only stay in the mansion to practice honestly.After getting started, spirit control is no longer impossible for him.Right now, he could even feel a slightly cool aura moving around his body.He really wanted to try his own power and see how he had grown, but he never had the chance.

On this day, Chu Quan made lunch, but Song Shuangfei didn't come out for a long time.Chu Quan waited for a while, then went to carry the food to the city lord's room.Before he knocked on the door, Song Shuangfei opened the door from the inside, looking worried.

"Brother Song?"

"Chu Quan, the city lord's condition has worsened."

"Oh?" Chu Quan subconsciously looked into the room, only to see Jiang Anrong lying on the bed with a pale face, "What can I do?"

Song Shuangfei rubbed the center of his brows wearily, "I have to guard the city lord, Chu Quan, all night tonight. I will leave the trivial matters in the city to you for the time being."

"Don't worry." Chu Quan comforted him, "The City Lord will be fine."

Song Shuangfei forced a smile, "Indeed."

It is said that Chu Quan is to handle the affairs of Anling City, but nothing unexpected will happen in the city.Although the vengeful spirits at night are noisy, they are incorporeal vengeful spirits after all. They can't do much except disturb the rest of the living by making a scene. Besides, they generally don't have the courage to trouble the spirit master.

As usual, Chu Quan was about to wash up and go to bed, when suddenly a crying female voice came from outside the door: "Young Master Chu—"

Chu Quan got up suddenly, put on his clothes, opened the door, and his face sank instantly: "It's you again." Saying that, he was about to close the door.

"Wait!" Li Meiniang screamed, "I'm not here to harass you, and I'm asking you for help!"

Thinking about it, the door can't shut the resentful spirits, since Li Meiniang didn't rush in, maybe something really happened.

Chu Quan said lightly: "Say."

Li Meiniang's eyes were full of anxiety and anger: "Save my child! Those beasts are..." Li Meiniang couldn't continue, "Young Master Chu, will you save him?"

"Child?" Chu Quan was taken aback, "Where do children come from in the city?"

"Young Master Chu," Li Meiniang smiled miserably, "Don't you know about me?"

"I heard Brother Song mentioned something."

"It seems that he didn't tell you all. When I died, it was the second day after I gave birth. At that time, I was already weak, and I was tortured all the time, and I was dying. I won’t have such a big resentment that I can’t even enter reincarnation. But that beast killed my child with his own hands when I was about to close my eyes! He just smiled like that... strangled my child... ..."
