A black thing suddenly appeared outside the window. The thing was so big that when looking from inside the house, all the windows were covered in darkness.
Willow Whip attacked, and the thing roared, then quickly retreated.
Xuan Bao jumped onto the window sill, waving the whip in his hand, but unfortunately he only hit it twice and was out of reach. Soon the black thing disappeared, leaving only a watermark on the ground.
"Xuan Bao." Seeing the little doll standing precariously on the window sill, the old prince quickly stepped forward to hold it up.
"What is it?"
"Evil evil spirit, judging from the traces on the ground, it is probably water evil spirit again." Xuan Bao turned around and let his grandfather hold him down.
The old prince frowned: "There is water evil again. Didn't you just capture one last time?"
"Yes." Xuan Bao patted his heart, "It was the little white ball that reminded me just now."
"Little white ball?"
"It's the water ghost we caught last time. It was originally a small black ball, but after purification, it turned into a small white ball." When Xuan Bao said this, an idea flashed in his mind, "Let's let it go and explore."
After saying this, Xuan Bao released the small white ball from the space. Once it came out, the small white ball stretched and turned into a big white ball in an instant.
Seeing that the big white ball continued to swell, the little doll kicked it: "Hurry back and follow it to have a look. Maybe you can revisit the old place and see if it is hiding in the place where you once hid."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." The big white ball quickly turned into a small white ball, which was smaller than a fist. It rolled nimbly and soon jumped out of the window sill and disappeared.
"Is that evil? It looks quite cute." The old prince looked at the direction in which the little white ball left.
Xuan Bao shook his head: "Grandpa, if evil spirits invade, it will kill people."
"Then you still have that little white ball with you?"
"It has been purified. Besides, I am not an ordinary person." Xuan Bao sat back on the chair, "You saw that black mass just now, right? Even if it does nothing, as long as it stays in the house, it will not come out.
In January, people in the mansion began to have health problems, and within March, funerals began to take place. For a year and a half, there was no one in the mansion."
"So scary?" The old prince looked shocked, "Xuan Bao, you should find a way to get rid of that evil spirit quickly."
"Don't worry, I didn't notice any evil smell in the mansion just now after I entered the door. I guess it just sneaked in. As for whether it will settle down in the palace, I can't say for sure. We'll know when the little white ball comes back."
Xuan Bao helped his grandfather go back: "Young man, don't hide anything at this time. Tell me everything you know."
After sitting down on the chair, the old prince stroked his white beard and looked at the Xuanbao in front of him: "Ask, whatever you want to know, I will tell you whatever I know."
"Things in the palace, especially the Yile Palace."
After sighing softly, the old prince said in detail: "It doesn't matter. The woman in Yile Palace was the late emperor's beloved woman. After her death, the palace became a place to see things and miss people. Later, it became
Forbidden land.”
"Who is she? Does her death have something to do with the Queen Mother's aunt?" Xuan Bao's mind was spinning very fast.
The old prince couldn't help but chuckle: "You are such a clever guy, it seems like nothing can be hidden from you."
"That woman was brought back by the late emperor from his tour in disguise. It is said that she was a peasant girl. She was very favored after entering the palace. Your great aunt, the Queen Mother, was originally in love with the late emperor, but they had a falling out because of her."
Xuan Bao nodded and said: "So that's it, she is a woman of unknown origin."
"Even a little kid like you can't understand this. Back then, the ministers and your great aunt the Queen Mother warned you many times, but the late emperor was deceived and didn't listen at all."
"and after?"
"The beauty was ill-fated. Three years after entering the palace, she suddenly died suddenly. After her death, everyone, including the late emperor, suspected that your great aunt was responsible for the murder."
"Not the Queen Mother." Xuan Bao said without hesitation.
The old prince nodded and said: "Yes, your aunt the Queen Mother is innocent. However, the reason for her sudden death was not found. However, from then on, the emperor and the empress became strangers. The late emperor stayed at Yi Le Palace from time to time, and finally gave an order
Make this palace a forbidden area."
"Grandpa, there is an unusual aura in the Yile Palace." Xuan Bao's face flashed with a shrewdness that was not for her age.
So far, the old prince was also a shrewd man. He thought for a while and then said: "After the emperor left, no one has set foot in that palace for many years. It was the maids and eunuchs who cleaned and tidied it up. After so many years, I heard that it is only now
There are only two maids and two eunuchs left."
"Well, Xuan Bao knows."
At this moment, a small white ball rolled in from the window. To the naked eye, it looked like it was stained with dust and turned into a light gray color.
"Is this a little white ball?" the old prince asked curiously.
"Yes, it turned into a little gray ball." Xuan Bao stretched out his hand and the little gray ball jumped onto her palm and kept squeaking.
"What is it saying? Can you know?"
"Of course I can understand. After a fight, it turned out to be a water ghost, and it beat him away..." Xuan Bao suddenly paused while translating Little Gray Ball's words.
"What else can you say?" the old prince asked.
"No more." Xuan Bao looked calm. In fact, Little Gray Ball just said that the water ghost couldn't defeat it and actually hid in the palace.
Confusion flashed across the old prince's eyes. He clearly heard the little gray ball still chattering, and Xuan Bao was clearly hiding something.
"Okay, you've absorbed the other person's evil energy and turned it into a little gray ball. Go in quickly and take a nap to purify yourself."
Xuan Bao just stuffed it into his arms, and soon the little gray ball disappeared.
"Grandpa, there is another thing about my grandfather." Xuan Bao asked directly, "Did you attend his funeral back then?"
"Of course I participated."
"Then have you seen his remains?"
After all, after many years, the old prince thought for a while before replying: "I have been to the mourning hall to pay homage, so I just looked at it from a distance."
"Was my father in the capital at that time?"
"No." The old prince remembered this very clearly. "At that time, the border war broke out. Not only your father, but also your eldest uncle and second uncle were no longer in the capital."
"So, my grandfather's funeral was handled by my second uncle?"
"It can be said that your grandmother was ill at that time, and your mother has always been weak. It should be said that your grandfather's funeral was jointly organized by Xiao Liao and his wife."
After the old prince finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Xuan Bao: "Why do you suddenly ask about this old incident?"
"It's nothing. I suddenly remembered it and just asked out of curiosity." Xuan Bao patted his belly and said, "It's time to have some snacks. Grandpa, let's go and find grandma together."
"Xuanbao?"
The old prince wanted to ask a few more questions, but the little doll shook his head as if he didn't want to say any more, so he had no choice but to give up.
Xuan Bao returned to the old princess's yard, chatting and laughing with her grandmother, and soon the sun set. After dinner, the little baby took his leave and returned to the Hou Mansion with a cart full of gifts.
