Chapter 358: Hou's Mansion Shocked (Part 1)

Liu Ruhai stared through the window at the battle between the two ghosts in the room, but only he could see clearly.

The frosty moonlight slanted through the clear window, and the sword was like a stream of light in the darkness. Xiao Zhao couldn't see clearly what was going on in the room, but he wondered: "The mausoleum guard?"

Did Eunuch Dong call himself the tomb keeper just now?

Baifu'er, who also couldn't see the fighting clearly, interrupted: "Taizu's mausoleum."

"He is so old. It doesn't sound like he only guards Taizu's mausoleum. The guardian of the mausoleum must be at least a little younger." Lou Xiliu thought and recalled, "He just said he was a Gali ghost?"

Liu Ruhai was distracted, but he didn't say it out loud: Gali ghost, a tantric Yaksha, was the guardian of the former imperial mausoleum.

Liu Ruhai didn't care much about who would win between Cao Xiwan and Eunuch Dong. With one female ghost and one yaksha, he had already seen that the Qingluo female ghost had the upper hand, and he knew Cao Xiwan's temper too well.

If she couldn't beat him, she would naturally shout: "Good friends, come on together. Eunuch Liu, come and join us. We are best friends."

In short, she can't beat a group fight. She can call so many people together because she has this sinister motive.

Instead, he felt at ease and asked Lou Xiliu with a smile: "Aren't you going back to the Marquis Mansion?"

Lou Xiliu looked at him puzzled: "What do you mean, sir?"

Liu Ruhai said: "I heard that the assassin Nanzhi was originally chosen by Mrs. Hou to enter the palace."

The Marquis of Nankang must question Lou Shuluan.

late at night.

The inner residence of the Marquis Mansion.

Mother Chen was waiting outside the door. She was listening to the quarrel between Mr. Hou and his wife, and the crying of the wife, mixed with the crying of the child.

Suddenly, there was silence.

It's not just Mrs. Chen who is guarding the door. On the other side of the steps are Luo Mofeng and Song Xianzi, the ladies in brocade clothes. In the corridor room on the west side are Granny Ma and other female fans, who are escorting the wife's people.

The couple had been arguing for almost two hours.

Outside Baihua Hall, Mother Chen saw Qin Meng and Master Yan coming one after another. It seemed like there was something urgent.

Mother Luo looked at Qin Meng outside the hall, and after discussing with Granny Song, she asked loudly in front of the door: "Is Mr. Hou okay?"

No one answered.

Mother Chen felt uneasy and knocked on the door: "Madam, is it me? Madam?"

Still no one responded.

Mother Luo looked back at Qin Meng. He jumped in and knocked on the door: "Master Hou?"

The room was silent.

Only the lights are on.

Qin Meng hesitated for a moment, then said from the other side of the door: "Master Marquis, we have urgent military information. Prince Zhao personally led a strange force to secretly attack the capital, and the siege is about to begin!"

There was still no response from the door. Qin Meng woke up suddenly, and even the young master stopped crying?

He was about to push the door open with one palm, but at this moment, the door finally opened, revealing Lou Shuluan's ashen face.

"Madam!?" Mother Chen quickly stepped forward to help her. Lou Shuluan looked at her desperately: "He's dead."

Everyone was shocked at the same time. Luo Mofeng saw Master Hou lying on the ground at a glance.

And the children on the ground.

Lou Shuluan wailed: "The child is dead!"

Mother Chen was horrified, holding her fainted wife in her arms, and they fell together in front of the door.

The Marquis of Nankang was unconscious with a dark look on his face, and the young master was already dead. The father and son were carried out together.

The Baihua Hall was filled with loud cries and chaos. My wife fainted and died long ago.

"Go and ask the imperial doctor quickly -" Mother Chen shouted.

Because the Marquis and Mrs. Hou had an accident together, and there was no family member to preside over, the Marquis' current confidants were Qin Meng and Master Yan. The two hurriedly discussed that King Zhao's army outside the capital was besieging the city.

After he died, he could only ask the imperial doctor and send someone to report to the second house master.

The second master and the second wife were both frightened. The second master rushed over and immediately decided: "Go and ask the old lady to come back——"

"Second brother!" Sixth Master Song Chengfeng stepped into Baihua Hall and shook his head slightly, "It's already such a mess outside. Let Xiaoqi and the others follow the old lady in Xu Guogong's mansion. Don't come back!"

Miss Qi, the daughter of the second master, followed the old lady at Duke Xu's mansion, and the two children of the sixth master also went there.

When the second master heard this, he thought about the rebel army outside and couldn't help but shed tears: "You are right."

"It's not good——! The fifth master is not good!" The steward of the fifth room crawled on the ground to report the news.

"What?"

In the Marquis of Nankang's Mansion, disasters occurred one after another. The fifth master suddenly foamed at the mouth and convulsed all over his body while practicing Taoism. The five rooms were also in chaos. The cause of the fifth master's death was easily found out: erysipelas.

The Fifth Master has been practicing Taoism and taking elixirs. The cinnabar and mercury in the elixirs caused him to be poisoned and he was about to die.

The second master was in a state of distress, while the ghost doctor Chen Ming and Doctor Gu examined the body of the young master. Chen Ming was shocked: "Poisoned."

"Impossible-" Mother Chen heard this and came out from behind the screen, "The wet nurse hired by the Marquis. Besides, our wife feeds the baby by herself every day. The Marquis is also watching and holding the baby!"

Chen Ming stretched out his hand to inspect carefully, and slowly pulled out a golden needle from the child's body.

At that moment, Mother Chen almost fainted. She recognized it as the golden needle in the wife's hand.

"Impossible, impossible..." Mother Chen threw herself in front of Madam's bed, "Madam, Madam..."

Why?

Lou Shuluan looked at the tent roof, tears streaming down her face: "I wanted to save the child just now, but the child was stabbed just now... I couldn't save Cheng Ming... I can only choose one...".

Didn’t the wife kill the young master? Mother Chen seemed to have crawled back from the underworld.

The Marquis and the young master were both poisoned. The wife had a golden needle in her hand. The wife said that the golden needle contained a miracle antidote given by Nan Twelve. In a panic, she chose to save the child.

"Brother Twelve, he lied to me...he lied to me..."

Mother Chen couldn't help crying when she heard this.

The sixth lady was favored by General Lou and his wife, and she also had confidants in her name, and had warehouse businesses all over the north and south. But among them, there were more or less remnants of the Duke of Liang, and the secret support of Nan Twelve.

Lou Shuluan hesitated for a while, but finally believed in Nan Twelve.

She and Nan Twelve are both children that Duke Liang does not recognize.

"No." Chen Ming checked the gold needle, shook his head, and then pricked the child's fingers, toes and soles with his own silver needle, and squeezed out the blood drops. They were all greenish-green, "It has been poisoned for at least two months."

It's not poison from golden needles.

The second master gritted his teeth and said, "Ask the wet nurse."

However, after the nurse tortured her, there was no problem.

Chen Ming and Dr. Gu checked in the child's room and the wet nurse's room. No problems were found. Until, Chen's mother suddenly looked at the porcelain beside the bed, the wife's favorite Jian Kiln porcelain.

The young master's room is full of porcelain items collected by his wife.

Mother Chen did not dare to say anything, but she dared to hint quietly to Lou Shuluan. Lou Shuluan's eyes suddenly opened, she got up with a stern look on her face, her hair was disheveled, and she rolled out of bed.

"Mrs!"

Lou Shuluan threw herself on the crib beside the couple's bed. She pulled out a pair of black porcelain tigers that were not old, and smashed them to pieces on the ground.

Green poisonous powder was sprinkled out.

Lou Shuluan fainted.
