“Lord Yu, let's ride together,” Liu Huanxi invited. Yu Bizhang did not decline. Thus, the three of them shared a carriage to the Ministry of Justice.
“Ghostly energy.” The couple said simultaneously outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice.
“Our Ministry of Justice has executed countless people, and we have a malevolent deity guarding it, so logically, there shouldn’t be any ghosts lingering here. Otherwise, with so many people dying here every day, it would have long become a ghost lair.” Upon hearing their words, Yu Bijang was still somewhat astonished.
“Hmm, when I was locked up last time, I didn’t feel any ghostly presence from the Department of Justice,” Liu Huanxi nodded and said.
“What nonsense are you talking about! On the day you were captured last time, you hadn’t even thought of using a spell, how could you feel anything?!” Hua Qingkong exposed her.
“I knew it! I knew it! You know I was captured and didn’t come to rescue me! If I get beaten by them, you’d be happy, right?” Liu Hanxi jumped in front of Hua Qingkong, pointing at his nose as she spoke.
“I……” Hua Qingkong realized that he had been schemed by Liu Hanxi again.
“You’re lying! Let's see how you’re going to cover it up?!” Liu Hanxi wouldn’t let him leave.
“I went to find my mother, otherwise how could Father Emperor send someone to pick you up so quickly?! Besides, if it really came to a fight, I would definitely come to rescue you!” Hua Qingkong hurriedly explained.
柳寒兮忍着笑道：“我还以为是我冉星途去通知母妃的呢！”
“With his official position, can he even enter the palace at night?! You should think about it.” Hua Qingtian said dismissively.
“You think you're so important! Your official rank is as big as that lid!” Liu Huanxi retorted, not willing to lose in this verbal sparring.
“Your Highness... Your Highness... Ghost...” Yu Bizhang interrupted their banter, “Are they still around?”
“咱王爷来了，就算有，现在也吓破了胆，跑得影儿都没有了。”柳寒兮抬脚跨进了刑部。
华青空刚想进门，却见柳寒兮皱了眉，她从腰带里扯出一根帕子递给华青空说：“捂住，仍有毒烟。”
Hua Qingkong pushed her hand away and recited the anti-poison spell.
“You still have this advanced skill.” Liu Hanzhi said enviously, the priestess didn’t have such a spell.
“You hold tight.” Hua Qingkong said to her.
“I don’t need it either.” Liu Huanxi placed the handkerchief back into her waistband.
"Why?"
“The poison from the southern region can't harm me.” Liu Huanxi said coldly.
Yu Bizhang stood behind the two, feeling lost. Many people from the criminal division had touched the corpse earlier, and there were still many dealing with matters in the courtyard. He had also come into close contact with it...
“Adults need not worry, it's just that the enclosed space may retain more, it should be fine outdoors. After all, our prince is precious and we are concerned about his safety.” Liu Huanxi explained upon seeing Yu Bizhang trembling.
“Lord Yu, let those who have come into contact with the corpses take one of these pills. If there are any symptoms of poisoning, go immediately to the Wang Residence to find Daoist Hua Yuanshan for detoxification,” said Hua Qingkong.
“Yes, yes.” Yu Bijiang took a box of elixirs from Hua Qingkong and promptly picked one to eat.
Hua Qingkong asked Yu Bijiang to take them to see the prison cells first.
Upon arriving at the entrance, Liu Hanxi frowned and shook her head when she saw people coming in and out: “Is this the Ministry of Justice?! The Ministry of Justice doesn't even know how to secure a crime scene?! With so many people coming in and out, all the evidence is gone!”
“Ah... Your Highness, we have assigned people to stand guard and prevent them from approaching,” Yu Bijiang quickly replied.
Seeing this, Liu Hanxi walked further ahead and noticed that indeed two guards were stationed around the corner, preventing anyone from getting close. Fortunately, the room where the princess was held was at the very back, and there were no other cells nearby.
“In the future, you should set up two movable pillars and stretch a rope between them, placing it a bit further away. Otherwise, if it's too close and people peek in, they might accidentally step on the bloodstains or footprints, which would be quite troublesome. You haven't let anyone in, so are the guards not human? What about their footprints?!” Liu Hanzhi gestured at the door.
“The princess makes a valid point! Since the princess knows so much about the criminal department's investigations, I will definitely seek your advice more in the future.” Yu Bizhang nodded quickly.
As the two approached, they saw a pool of blood on the ground, not much, but there were also greasy stains spread out on both sides of the iron jail door.
“Is this... one inside and one outside?” Liu Huanxi was somewhat confused.
“The guard's body is lying outside.” Yu Bijiang quickly answered.
Liu Huanxi walked along the corner to the iron door, looked at the footprints on the ground, and stepped inside.
“Be careful, Xie Er.” Hua Qingkong couldn't help but exclaim.
“Qingkong, come here, come here.” She stood at the railing, extending both hands and waving at Hua Qingkong.
Hua Qingkong walked over. He was much taller than Liu Hanxie, so she had to tiptoe to place her hands around his neck.
Liuhanyi's hands were cold as ice. She placed them on his neck, pulling his face towards the railing while she leaned in closer, gazing at her radiant smile, and he found himself somewhat entranced.
Liu Hanxi revealed eight teeth in a biting position and demonstrated, "This is not easy to bite, I have to stretch my head forward, or pull your head in."
Hua Qingkong almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Taking the opportunity, he clasped her hand to warm it up, while replying, "Impossible, it's too narrow."
```html“So... not a princess.” Liu Hanxi smiled.
“So, not a human.” Hua Qingkong replied.
“Hmm, in here, there are only the princess's boot prints. The princess loves peach blossoms, so the soles have peach blossom marks, easy to recognize, no other footprints.” Liu Hanxi pointed to the footprints on the ground again.```
Yubi Zhang then introduced that the princess has dedicated guards, but most of the guards are male, which brings some inconvenience. Therefore, food, water, and items are only delivered to the door and not allowed inside. As for cleaning the toilet, it is arranged for a cleaning maid, who comes once a day to do the cleaning before leaving. So, from afternoon to evening, there will only be the princess's footprints.
"Go take a look at this old lady, but I think she's either dead or have run away," Liu Hanzu said.
Ye Xiaohai, who had been following closely, was very perceptive and immediately went to take care of it.
Liu Hanzu noticed that Bi Zhang looked somewhat confused, and even Hua Qingkong seemed a bit puzzled.
```html"So you think that the doctor was here to treat the princess and gave her poison, right?" Liu Huanxi stepped back.
“Exactly.”
"Not enough."
"Not enough?"
"While a doctor can administer poison, with her level of power, it's too little for her to summon such a powerful ghost using the Ghost-watching Herb. Moreover, someone needs to block the eyes of the evil spirit summoned by the Ministry of Justice, otherwise the ghost cannot enter. So there must be helpers outside," Liu Huanxi explained.```
“I see.” Yu Bizhang nodded; if this was the work of a ghost, his culpability would be lessened. “Are the prince and princess still going to see the body?”
Hua Qingkong also looked at her, waiting for her instructions.
“Why go see that? Isn't it disgusting? I told you, and you just believe it!” Liu Hanxi laughed heartily after getting out of prison.
“If you don't look at the injury, how can you know... how can you know what it is? Where it comes from?” Yu Bizhang still looked puzzled.
“Hua Tianshi, the adult looks down on you.” Liu Huanxi teased as she looked at Hua Qingkong.
“No, no, no, Your Highness, I dare not, I absolutely do not mean that.” Yu was about to kneel but was stopped by Hua Qingkong.
“Lord Yu, there’s no need to worry; the princess is just joking with you. This ghost is called 'Hungry Labor', and it should be a hungry ghost from a famine in earlier years, one that died and was... ” Hua Qingkong hesitated for a moment but continued, “...was devoured by others, so it has a lot of resentment and has turned into a vengeful spirit that takes pleasure in eating people.” Hua Qingkong replied.
Liu Huanxi thought of the Wuxia in the Ghost Flag, which also had a row of sharp teeth and kept calling out in hunger. She couldn't help but shiver.
This Ghost Flag, Hua Qingkong wanted to give to Liu Huanxi again, but Liu Huanxi refused it. She felt that she didn't need the protection of ghosts. Besides, ghosts could only be used at night; during the day, she still had to rely on herself.
“Then wait for me to gather the Nine Ghosts for you; their powers will combine, and they will be able to protect you in broad daylight. At that time, I'll give them to you.” At that moment, Hua Qingkong said this.
“Ghostly energy.” The couple said simultaneously outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice.
“Our Ministry of Justice has executed countless people, and we have a malevolent deity guarding it, so logically, there shouldn’t be any ghosts lingering here.
