At that time, Yan Yuzheng and Shen Beizhu were in the vineyard of Wanxiang Mountain.
Each plump and plump grape was eaten by Yan Yan before he even put it into the basket.
"Auntie, don't eat up the entire vineyard."
"No." Yan Yan picked another one and planned to eat it.
After a sudden pause, Yan Yan put down the grape on his lips and looked towards the thousand-story steps behind Sanqian Palace.
"I'm just saying, you should eat it, you should eat it, such a big vineyard..." Shen Beizhu thought Yan Yan was minding what he just said.
"The prince-in-law is dead."
"What?" The grape bunch in Shen Beizhu's hand fell to the ground, spewing purple-red juice.
"Shizi Shen!" Tian Da Qinggong led him over, "Master, he fell down from the steps of the Supreme Hall."
Shen Beizhu looked at Yan Yan out of the corner of his eye, opened his mouth and asked, "How is the injury?"
"I don't know yet, go and have a look!"
After the prince-in-law said that he was going to ask Princess Jiamin about Xu Niang's body, Yan and others planned to go down the mountain and return home.
But the prince-in-law said that he had obtained an amulet for the princess that he could take away, so he went to the Supreme Hall with 5,000 steps to get it.
With this move, one's life is on the line.
After passing through the main hall of Sanqianden, there are the steps leading to the Supreme Hall.
At this time, many people gathered under the steps, including monks and more donors who came to pray for Buddha. Some of them fainted from fear when they saw the body of the consort, and there was also the smell of someone's urine.
Nothing can scare people now as much as the body of the consort in front of them.
There is a bloody trace on the steps, from the step where the end cannot be seen to the bottom.
The consort's body rolled down from the top and was no longer human.
Visible on the thin and straight back is a face twisted to the back. The protruding nose on the face may have been knocked on the step. The flesh and blood are so blurred that the broken nasal bones underneath can be seen. As he breathes, the sticky nose The strip of meat connected to the nose bone undulates slightly.
The blood-stained eyes were half-opened, and when they saw Yan Yan, they fell on her.
On Yan Yan's body, he saw the phantom in his body and the four words "Peace for Life" on the high hat worn by the phantom.
Shen Beizhu stepped forward and checked, "There is still breath." He turned to Tian Da and said, "Quickly inform the princess and see if we can invite the imperial physician from the palace."
The prince-in-law was so injured that he might have lost his breath if he moved. The abbot led the monks and surrounded the prince-son-in-law with things so that no one could see his twisted body.
However, with his head twisted like this, even if the Great Luo Immortal came, it would be of no avail.
The consort moved his eyes away from Yan Yan, not knowing where to look. His body was no longer under the control of his consciousness.
Halfway through, it stopped.
Shen Beizhu's heart felt cold, and he stepped forward to check the prince's pulse again, placed his fingers on the prince's wrist, and then shook his head.
"Amitabha." The host clasped his hands together, and the monks and novices behind him also bowed their heads.
In Yan Yan's eyes, the consort's soul floated up from his body, his eyes were cloudy, and his soul had not yet condensed and stabilized.
The ghost who came to seduce the soul saw Yan Yu as soon as he left the ghost gate. The soul lock chain in his hand had not yet been wrapped around the soul of the consort, and he kowtowed to Yan Yu while crawling on the ground.
"Tie the soul-locking chain to him and leave first. I will take him to the underworld after the Soul Night."
The two ghosts almost nodded their heads as if they were broken. After Yan Yan finished speaking, he kowtowed hard and disappeared.
Fortunately, I still know how to leave the soul chain behind.
Otherwise, after arriving in the underworld, two ghost messengers would come to retrieve the soul chain, and the virtue that led the consort to reincarnation would belong to her.
When a person is dead, the body does not need to be left where it is.
"Move away." Yan Yan said.
She was also anxious to find a place where no one was around to ask the consort what happened.
"Aren't you waiting for the people from the Ministry of Punishment to come?" Shen Beizhu said, "We still don't know whether the prince-in-law accidentally rolled down from above, or... was pushed down."
Yan Yan turned around and looked at the bearded man, "Don't you have any followers around your consort?"
"The prince-in-law doesn't like having people follow him." Shen Beizhu said, "The princess once told the second sister that the prince-in-law comes from a poor family and has had no servants since he was a child. He still doesn't like having people follow him."
"What were you and your eldest brother doing when the consort went to the Supreme Palace?"
"Miss Yan is suspicious of us brothers?"
Yan Yan pondered for a moment, "No, I just wanted to ask, but I don't think you two can do such a thing with your courage."
Although it was a good thing that Yan Yan didn't doubt them, it was just that this reason was too degrading.
"The guard sent a message before, saying that the princess is coming up the mountain. Today we are going down the mountain. We brothers sent a message to the princess in advance so that we would not run into each other halfway up the mountain." Luo Xi said nonsense, "The consort is going to the rear of the Supreme Palace. , we have been waiting at the gate of Sanqian Palace for the guards to come."
"Then you and..." Yan Yan pointed at the beard and then at Shen Beizhu, "You, you two are guarding the body of the consort."
"You won't come with me?" Shen Beizhu was stunned for a moment.
"After all, I am also a woman. You let me stare at the body of the consort, and you are not afraid that I will scare you?"
"That makes sense, but..." Shen Beizhu hesitated before speaking.
Yan Yan couldn't really see the slightest sign of panic. He didn't even dare to step forward to check the body of the consort. She could just squat next to him and take a look.
"That's it." Yan Yan patted Shen Beizhu on the shoulder and whispered, "Besides the two of you, don't trust anyone else. You have to know that everyone in Wanxiang Mountain will be the murderer who pushed the consort down."
"I know."
Looking at Yan Yan's leaving figure, the bearded bearded man asked silently, "Does Miss Yan have something to do?"
Shen Beizhu glanced at the beard.
Even he could see that it was abnormal for Yan Yan to leave at this time.
"Keep an eye on the prince-in-law."
Because of the Prince Consort incident, everyone who was wandering around at this time also returned to the wing. Yan Yan walked around the yard of the wing and went to the vineyard.
Sure enough, Yan Zi was the only one who still had the heart to eat grapes at this time.
Summoning the soul of the consort, Yan Yu solidified it for him.
After the turbidity in the consort's eyes faded, he looked at Yan Yu in front of him and said clearly, "Miss Yan is really not a mortal."
"Of course, you have to call me 'Lord Impermanence'." Yan Yan raised his chin, "I don't care so much, otherwise you wouldn't even have a chance to stand in front of me now."
The prince-in-law nodded with respect.
No matter whether he was truly respectful to Yan Yan or not, as long as they were ghosts, they would not be allowed to act arbitrarily in the face of impermanence. The respect from the depths of their souls made them unable to stand up straight.
"Tell me what's going on. I haven't got an amulet yet." Yan Yan picked a bunch of grapes and ate one after saying something.
The prince-in-law shook his head, "I don't know."
Yan Yan spit out the grape seeds on his hand and felt worried.
