The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 873 - You Heard It

Chapter 873: You Heard It

Xiao Yurong kept winking at Zhao Xuanjing, hoping that the Crown Prince would be more sensible and learn to respect their senior sister.

However, Zhao Xuanjing acted as if he did not see it.

Although Xie Qiao was poor, she could not lose face as their senior sister when they were out. If she paid more now and her ident.i.ty was accidentally revealed in the future, these junior brothers would not dare to go too far as they had accepted her kindness now.

Therefore, she was in a good mood when she saw that Zhao Xuanjing was obedient.

“After all, this isn’t a restaurant. There are no good wines and dishes. I heard that the wine in Mengjiabao is good. I will treat you guys to a full meal when the time comes.” Xie Qiao sat straight and raised her head slightly. She looked like an elder.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.” Zhao Xuanjing was very polite.

Xiao Yurong was a little stunned. He always thought the Crown Prince was strange.

After all, his junior brother had a n.o.ble status. He was cold and distant in front of everyone and always maintained his bearing, just like what… senior sister was doing now. However, his status had changed now? Those who did not know would think that his senior sister had become the Crown Prince…

Xiao Yurong did not think too much about it. He just thought that the Crown Prince respected his senior sister very much.

After a long day, he returned to his room to rest after a simple meal.

Xie Qiao was in the carriage today, but she did not see many ghouls. It was a rare peace and quiet for her.

She slept well in the first half of the night.

However, in the second half of the night, Xie Qiao vaguely heard a strange noise. It seemed to have the smell of alcohol.

“Creak…”

The sound was a little ear-piercing, as if sharp weapons were rubbing against each other. It woke Xie Qiao up, and she looked around warily, but there was nothing.

Xie Qiao opened the door, and there was an attendant outside. When he saw Xie Qiao appear, he was a little puzzled. “Master Mo, what are your orders?”

“Did you hear anything just now?” Xie Qiao asked.

The other party shook his head. “Perhaps it was the sound of footsteps when the subordinates were changing s.h.i.+fts?”

Xie Qiao shook her head.

It was not the sound of footsteps…

The sound just now was like nails sc.r.a.ping against an iron plate. It was ear-piercing, and it sounded extremely uncomfortable. However, if the guard did not hear it, then the source of the sound was very likely coming from a ghoul.

Xie Qiao turned around and returned to the room. However, when the door closed, she saw a figure crawling out from under the bed.

The figure had long hair that covered the floor and snow-white nails.

“You heard it… You heard it…” the voice was especially creepy.

Xie Qiao had gooseb.u.mps all over her body. No wonder she did not see the ghoul just now. It was hiding under the bed. She exhaled and took out a talisman. At the moment when the ghoul approached, Xie Qiao stuck a talisman on its forehead.

“Why are you hiding under the bed instead of reincarnating?” Xie Qiao poured herself a cup of tea.

The ghoul only felt that it could not move all of a sudden, and there was a lot more fear in its eyes as it looked at Xie Qiao.

From its disheveled head, Xie Qiao finally saw the ghoul’s face clearly. It was not that ugly.

However, when an ordinary person slept, their three souls and seven spirits were not exactly stable. The night was dark and full of dark energy. Even a person with a strong body would wake up early in the morning after being watched by such a ghoul for an entire night. Their body would also feel a little heavy and uncomfortable.

If it was someone with a weak body, it would be even worse. Perhaps their living soul would really be able to see the ghoul, hear the voice, have nightmares, and fall seriously ill.

The ghoul was also shocked by Xie Qiao.

It stared at her in disbelief. “W-Who are you….”
