The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 473 - The Fox

Chapter 473 - The Fox

This courtyard of the imperial residence was much more majestic than the other side of the courtyard. With every few steps, one could almost meet a servant.

However, no matter how clean a place was, there would still be some ghouls floating around. Therefore, Xie Qiao found a ghoul and asked her questions.

Of course, in order to prevent herself from seeming too strange and scary, Xie Qiao would occasionally show some signs of opening the third eye. After that, she would mumble, which could also make the people of the imperial residence be surprised but not scared.

"Have you seen a white fox?" Xie Qiao asked as soon as she met the ghoul.

The ghoul in front of her looked at her Taoist robe and then pretended to be calm, "I'm in charge of sweeping this area. I didn't see it."

Xie Qiao looked at the broom in her hand.

How diligent and dedicated was she to her job that she would even use the broom after she died?

"But you can ask Sister Zi Zhu. She's the only one who can get close to the main courtyard. She knows everything. It's just that the sun is s.h.i.+ning right now. Sister Zi Zhu should be resting in her room," the ghoul said again.

Xie Qiao pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, thank you."

"Are you the master from the death shop?" The little ghoul asked again.

"Yes, do you want your soul to be released?" Xie Qiao started her business talk.

The ghoul shook her head, "I don't want to leave yet. My Mother is still alive. I want to wait for her."

Xie Qiao did not say anything else.

This ghoul did not have any resentment. She just had some concerns. It was not necessary for her to send her away.

After bidding farewell to this ghoul, Xie Qiao said to the maidservant, "Is there a person called Zi Zhu in the residence?"

That living maidservant was quite bold, and she also respected this master very much. She quickly said, "Zi Zhu? "I think... I heard my Mother mention... Oh, I remember now. Zi Zhu was the maidservant who accompanied the Princess. The Princess liked her very much, and she said that her hairstyle was the best... It's just that Granny Zi Zhu has been gone for many years..."

The maidservant thought for a moment and snapped her fingers, "It should be no less than thirty-five years, right? As for the specifics, I'm not sure."

"Where did Zi Zhu live when she was alive? Bring me to take a look," Xie Qiao said.

The maidservant knew about that because Zi Zhu was very special.

It was said that she grew up with the Princess when they were young. Later on, the Princess came with the maidservant when she was married. The Princess treated her very well and gave her a house with a small courtyard. After she pa.s.sed away from illness, the house remained empty.

As the Princess had said that she could bring the master around, she directly led the master to Zi Zhu's former residence.

Xie Qiao pushed open the door and entered. Dust blew against her face and she immediately covered her face and retreated.

After the dust settled down, she saw many spider webs. The interior was dirty.

However, there was indeed a ghoul inside. When it heard the commotion, it immediately stood up.

"It's long past time to clean up. All these years, without me around, you new girls are getting lazier and lazier," Zi Zhu said, when she saw Xie Qiao's Taoist robe, she asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that my residence attracts souls? I even brought a Taoist master over. I don't know what kind of trouble has happened this time."

Xie Qiao let the maidservant leave.

Then, she walked into the house.

"Aren't you a soul yourself?" Xie Qiao said slowly, "Have you seen the fox raised by your Young Master?"

Zi Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then she became excited, "You, a Taoist master, have such great abilities? You can actually talk to me?!"

Xie Qiao looked up at her.

Her eyes were calm, and Zi Zhu unexpectedly calmed down, "The fox... I know about the fox. Young Master loved it. I thought when Young Master recovers, he would play with it, so I followed it when I had nothing to do... However...."
