King Qi'an was lying in his bed, with a forehead band tied on his head, humming all the time.
The result of the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment was that he was frightened, so he prescribed a prescription to calm the nerves, but there was nothing else he could do.
But King Qi'an didn't dare to sleep at all, because as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the scary thing, and the eerie voice kept ringing in his ears.
After waking up twice, he dared not sleep again.
Princess Qi'an and her three concubines stood by to comfort him, but to no avail.
At the same time, he had already sent people to Prince Chen's Mansion to inquire whether the divine fish was dead or not, and whether he had really come to find him.
Now he regrets to death that he shouldn't have listened to King Song and Yuan's words. What was the invisible fish scale doing? He is not sick and does not need treatment. Now that he is well, he is scared to death when he comes to find him.
Behind closed doors, of course he dared to scold King Song and Yuan.
After Princess Qi'an learned the whole story, she couldn't help but complain about him.
"Your Highness, I have already said that you cannot listen to the words of Brother Wang of Song and Yuan Dynasties. He just wants to drag you along. Your Highness is never responsible for the good deeds. The misfortunes are always half with you, or more with you.
We have all suffered this loss many times, why don't you listen to me?" She said worriedly.
King Qi'an also regretted it, but he couldn't bring himself to admit his mistake to his princess, so he could only wave his hand perfunctorily: "Things have already happened, what's the use of you talking to me again? I'm scared to death."
Yes, you still said."
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore, but Your Highness, you have to promise not to listen to the words of Brother Song and Yuan Wang again. What kind of magical fish is that? Why doesn't he go find someone from Prince Chen's Mansion to get it himself?" Princess Qi'an hugged him.
, coaxing softly.
"I don't know either... You didn't even see it. That thing was scary. It came and disappeared again. The lantern, yes, that lantern, which was fine at first, suddenly turned into a bluish white, like a will-o'-the-wisp."
Same thing, and that, that tall black shadow, headless...ah...wuwu...it scared me to death..." King Qi'an began to cry.
"Okay, okay, I don't want to think about it anymore. Now His Highness has returned to the palace. No matter how good those dirty things are, they will never come to our palace to make trouble. Do we have soul-suppressing charms in our palace? By the way, let the servants find some more exorcisms.
Ghost talismans, so you won't be afraid anymore..." Princess Qi'an patted his back gently, like coaxing a child.
The three concubines on one side looked at each other. They really wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare. They could only pretend to be sad.
The maid brought medicine to relieve shock. After King Qi An drank it, his eyelids could not open, but he did not dare to sleep. He was afraid, but in the end he could not withstand the power of the medicine and fell asleep.
Princess Qi'an's expression was very ugly. She looked at the three concubines who were standing there doing nothing, and she became angry.
He waved his hands to them: "You go and prepare some food that His Highness likes. I'm sure His Highness will be hungry when he wakes up, so don't stay here."
"I excuse you!" The three of them walked out obediently.
It wasn't until they were far away that the three of them stopped and looked back, then looked at each other and smiled.
"What on earth is it that scares His Highness like that? The smell of it is really unbearable." One of the concubines whispered.
"I heard that King Song and Yuan told His Highness that there was a magical fish in Prince Chen's palace, and its scales could be used as a magic medicine to cure all kinds of diseases, so he encouraged Your Highness to contact and bribe King Chen's servants to steal this magical fish.
The fish scales were said to be presented to the emperor, but it seems that they failed and even scared me." Another young concubine said.
"The King of Song and Yuan Dynasties never had any good ideas. It was the princess who took the initiative that time. She came back from Prince Chen's Mansion and that was it. Fortunately, it started in the manor. If it were on the street, it would be worth seeing.
Yes, and His Highness and the others are still being chased by a group of snakes, which sounds scary, but this time it’s even more mysterious, damn it.” Another concubine said.
"Okay, stop talking and leave quickly, lest the princess hears it again and punishes us." The three of them left quickly together.
In less than half an hour, King Qi'an began to scream with his eyes closed, and even danced. After another scream, he sat up directly, with a cold sweat on his head, his face was pale, and his eyes were unfocused.
Princess Qi'an was frightened by his behavior. She comforted him for a while before he came back to his senses. She hugged the princess and cried loudly.
Until it got dark, he didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he asked his concubines to tell him jokes to cheer him up.
But everyone told them all the jokes they heard, and King Qi'an didn't even raise the corners of his mouth. His mind was not on this, so he couldn't laugh.
Just as he tiredly turned his head and glanced at the window unintentionally, his eyes widened in horror.
He pointed at the window and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Princess Qi'an, who was getting some fruit to feed him, turned around and saw his scary look, and immediately asked: "Your Highness, what are you..."
"Ghost...no, headless...ghost..." King Qi'an finally screamed, and the roaring sound resounded throughout the room.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, but there was nothing there. Several people looked at each other and thought he was really frightened.
Just as everyone stepped forward to comfort him, suddenly the candlelight in the room made a soft "pop" sound, as if an insect had pounced on the candle and been hit.
The sound was very weak, but King Qi'an heard it.
He pushed aside a concubine in front of him and stared at the lampshade not far away.
Suddenly, the originally warm and soft light in the lampshade flashed again, dimmed for a while, and when it lit up again, it had turned bluish-white.
"Ah... It's coming, it's coming... It's coming... What should I do... Come on, where are you hiding... Get out of the way..." King Qi'an shouted in panic.
He jumped up from the bed, pushed away all the four women surrounding him, and ran out the door wearing only his clothes and bare feet.
When he opened the door, he saw a man in white standing there with his hair hanging down in front.
He yelled, turned around and ran back, colliding with the four women who were chasing him. But when they fell to the ground, they also saw that the white thing suddenly disappeared when the screams started.
When the servants from Prince Qi'an's palace who heard the sound arrived, Prince Qi'an and another concubine had already fainted, but the other three women were not much better, and their faces turned pale with fear.
The servants brought them some medicine to relieve shock and gave them all to drink.
Without half a stick of incense, Princess Qi'an's lips were uncontrollable, and laughter burst out of her mouth.
Then there were the other two concubines, who, like Princess Qi'an, were also laughing, and their voices were getting louder and louder.
King Qi'an also started laughing after he woke up, and the laughter rang in King Qi'an's mansion all night long.
Simply can not stop.
But this voice sounded like laughter and crying, which was particularly scary.
