The mournful scream woke everyone up. One by one, they rushed out of their rooms to see what was going on. There, they saw a person painfully clutching his shoulder, half-kneeling in the snow.
The ground was dripping with bright red blood, which dyed the white snow red. Under the moonlight, it was so bright red that it was blinding.
"Isn't he Zhang Yong? What happened?! "
Everyone cast their puzzled gazes at Jin Shu, because everyone recognized that this lady was one of Crown Princess Jing's servant. As a result, they could only look at her with skeptical eyes, not daring to make wild guesses.
"Does everyone feel that something strange has happened?"
Just then, another female voice sounded out from within the crowd, and everyone subconsciously stepped aside, opening up a path. They saw that Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan were wearing a cloak that was made of thick fox fur, appearing in front of them.
"The prince and the princess consort? Why are they here so late? "
The reason why Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan arrived in such a timely manner was naturally because Jin Shu had sent them a signal flare while they were still moving.
King Jing Palace wasn't far from the Dragon Gate Academy.
Seeing Liu Ruo Qing, the person called Zhang Yong was so frightened that her pupils contracted, and her body couldn't help but tremble violently.
"It's you?"
Liu Ruo Qing raised his eyebrows and crouched down in front of the man. She recognized him as the man who went to King Jing Palace to tell her that the academy was haunted.
"Jin Shu, tell me, what did you see?"
Liu Ruo Qing's gaze turned to Jin Shu, but just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw a black mass flying over from afar. Upon closer inspection, it was a group of bats.
The group of bats flew towards Tang Wenyuan and the other two's door. Tang Wenyuan was standing at the door and was shocked by the scene in front of him. He staggered and crashed into the door. The door shook and the bats were scared and flew away.
At this moment, those who noticed this situation seemed to vaguely understand something, but they still couldn't figure out how it was done.
After the bats were chased away, Jin Shu said to Liu Ruo Qing: "Reporting to Princess, I have been following your instructions and have been standing guard in the courtyard. I saw him take out this wooden pipe and throw something on the doors of three of the rooms."
Even though Jin Shu was reporting to Liu Ruo Qing, her voice was raised so that everyone could hear.
She passed the wooden pipe in her hand to Liu Ruo Qing, who opened it in front of the crowd, and a pungent smell of blood wafted out from it.
Liu Ruo Qing's brows furrowed as she heard someone ask, "May I ask, wangfei, what is this thing?"
"Eel blood."
"Eel blood?"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know what Zhang Yong was planning to do after he spilled the eel's blood on Tang Wenyuan and the others.
Liu Ruo Qing only saw the eel blood flowing out from her body as she walked towards the door that had just been splashed with blood, "Let me cover up how the so-called ghosts are caused."
Under everyone's curious and confused gazes, Liu Ruo Qing splashed the Yellow Eel's blood on Tang Wenyuan's door and walked into his room. Before she closed the door, she said to the people outside, "All of you stand far away and watch, don't do anything."
She closed the door and waited quietly.
After a few consecutive knocks, Liu Ruo Qing finally walked out of the room to open the door. When the door was opened, the bat was already long gone.
The crowd finally understood what was going on when they saw the sight before them.
Liu Ruo Qing came out from her room, she looked at Zhang Yong with a smile that was not a smile, and laughed: "You sure are clever."
Zhang Yong's face was ashen, he did not dare look at Liu Ruo Qing and the other people around him.
Bats are bloodthirsty, and the smell of the eel's blood is very strong. Bats fly over following the scent of blood, and once they collide with the door, there will be a series of knocks on it, waiting for Tang Wenyuan's group to come out and open the door. When the door, the bat would fly away.
Liu Ruo Qing's faint voice sounded clearly in the courtyard. She glanced at Zhang Yong and continued: "That day, I smelled a fishy smell outside the doors of the three of them and as such, I had Liu Qian Xun send someone to clean up all the houses. The fishy smell was gone, and sure enough, the knocking on the door was gone.
At that moment, everyone understood and looked at Zhang Yong with disdain.
Zhang Yong's literary talent was actually quite good. Even though he couldn't compare to Tang Wenyuan and the other two, he could still be considered one of the best candidates in the academy.
The reason he wanted to use this method to scare away Tang Wenyuan and the other two should be because he wanted to get rid of his opponents and win the championship.
Such a vicious plan!
"What else do you have to say?"
"My lord, please spare me, my princess, please spare me. I know I was wrong, I just wanted to scare them away, not to hurt them. Please forgive me, my prince."
He knelt in the snow and continuously kowtowed to Yan Yuan and his wife. However, both of their faces were expressionless.
"Isn't ten years cold window for you and others? When you had such malicious thoughts, did you not think about others? "
Liu Ruo Qing let out a cold laugh, looked at Yan Yuan, and said: "I'll leave this person for you to handle.
Zhang Yong's face was ashen, he sat on the ground paralyzed, then looked at Yan Yuan, then suddenly, his eyes lit up as he said: "Your Highness, this student knows a secret, I hope that Your Highness can give this student a chance to repent his debt of gratitude."
"Secret? Humph! This King needs to know the secret and he needs to get it from your mouth? "
"Your highness, please understand. What your student said is true. It has something to do with this spring incident."
What about spring?
A hint of sternness flashed across Yan Yuan's eyes, and he suddenly spoke up, "Bring him back to the Duke's Palace!"
In the darkness, two hidden guards suddenly appeared, immediately pulling Zhang Yong away from everyone's line of sight.
They were all examinees from this year's competition, so when they heard the words "will it be spring", they were naturally very sensitive. Even though Zhang Yong was taken away by Yan Yuan's people, but their hearts still started to feel uneasy.
Seeing Tang Wenyuan and the other two blankly standing there, he felt a bit absent-minded.
Who would have thought that after ten years of studying, he would be scared by this little trick of pretending to be a ghost to the point that he almost gave up on the chance to get his name.
Thinking of his parents back home who were looking forward to his return home, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
After taking care of Zhang Yong's matter, Liu Ruo Qing was extremely tired. She had originally been up in the middle of the night to rush over, but now she kept fighting with her eyes closed.
