Qin Nuo got up, punched and kicked, without wasting a second. The ghost quickly turned around and dodged to the side. Unfortunately, it was startled by Qin Nuo's flashlight just now and reacted a little too slowly. Although it dodged Qin Nuo's punch, it was still kicked and groaned.
Immediately after, Qin Nuo heard a young and tender voice — — "Ah!"
Bi Tao and Ming Liu were still awake. They had already heard the commotion inside the house, but the two girls did not dare open their eyes. Instead, they covered their heads with their blankets and pretended not to hear anything. When they heard the sound of the thing entering the house, the two girls quietly stuck their heads out. Before they could walk out from their fear, they heard a few sounds from the room, along with a scream.
"Is everything alright?"
Peaches nodded, her heart thumping wildly.
Qin Nuo knew that the two girls were afraid, and the more scared she was, the more she would listen attentively to the movements in the house. She wasn't in a hurry. She first returned the flashlight to her blanket, and her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness of the room. Then, she asked softly.
"Eighth Brother, how much benefit did you receive from playing the part of a ghost in the middle of the night? "Speak!"
"third Sister-in-Law …" "A trace of surprise appeared in the ghost's eyes as he stammered," How did you know it was me... I feel that I'm in pretty good shape … Furthermore, third Sister-in-Law has never seen me before! "
The following words were finally said smoothly. He was the dignified eighth prince. If he was frightened by a woman, it would be a joke if word of this got out!
Qin Nuo could not help but chuckle to herself. Ming Liu that girl was really a treasure. With her here, it would be hard for her to pretend that she didn't know anything.
"You haven't answered my question!" Qin Nuo snorted.
"No good." "The eighth brother finally regained his composure. As he spoke, he used one hand to pick up the kid who was sitting on the ground." Originally, we came here today to see third Sister-in-Law, but Third Brother said that third Sister-in-Law was playing with his temper and left home to come to Qinxin, that's why … "
"That's why I asked you two to stay behind and act like ghosts, to scare me off!" Qin Nuo replied indifferently, but at the bottom of his heart, he was completely speechless.
That Ling Yexuan, how bored must he be to think of such a plan! However, she could tell that this Eighth Brother's words were true. He and Old Fifteen were just temporary guests tonight, and not the same ghost that had frightened the Kikuji in the past.
Qin Nuo glared at the two.
"If you don't want lass to know the joke, get out of here the way you came in!"
"lass doesn't seem to be asleep yet. If we go out like this, I'm afraid we'll scare them." Ol 'Eight quickly said.
Without waiting for Qin Nuo to speak, Old Fifteen looked at him in disdain.
"What are you afraid of scaring them for? Eighth Brother is afraid of being seen by them, right?"
"Old Fifteen!" Old Eighth and Old Fifteen waved their fists in exchange for Old Fifteen's whiter eyes …
The next day, before Qin Nuo had even washed up, Ling Yexuan had already sent Ying He to deliver the gift slip to the door. Qin Nuo glanced at it, she did not understand either, and as it seemed to be very rich, she handed it over to Bi Tao.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness! Prince, did you sleep well last night? " As Qin Nuo said this, he couldn't help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth.
"Reporting to the Empress, Your Highness … "It's still okay!" Ying He said softly as she quietly bit her lips.
The eighth prince was originally sleeping well, but later on, the eighth prince and fifteenth prince refused to sleep no matter what and insisted on pulling the prince over to chat, making her stand outside for a long time. It was early in the morning, and the prince had once again ordered her to show the gift slip to the Empress. She was still not in high spirits. She was baffled. If the Prince valued the Empress so highly, why did he chase her away to Qinxin?
"Your highness has slept very well!" Ming Liu continued, her voice was filled with grievance. It has hurt the Empress! Last night, there was something unclean in the Qinxin, and the Empress was so scared that she didn't sleep for the whole night! "
Ying He quietly raised his eyes, looked at Empress who had a calm expression, then looked at Ming Liu and Peaches who had dark circles under their eyes, deeply doubting Ming Liu's words, but she still smiled and kneeled down to Qin Nuo.
"I've made the Empress suffer grievances. When I return, I will definitely tell the prince!"
"There's no need to say anymore!" Qin Nuo immediately followed up and glared at Ming Liu. This girl, was afraid that she would be safe, hence she tried to use a different method to get Ling Yexuan to bring her back. However, what she did not know was that she was staying very well in Qinxin! I slept very well. There were two ghosts last night, but I beat them away. Even if there were more in the future, I would still sleep well, so that my prince wouldn't have to worry. The Prince has so many important matters to attend to outside of the palace, everyone has to be careful in their daily lives so there's no need to trouble the Prince. "
Ming Liu, Bi Tao and Ying He all opened their eyes wide and looked at Qin Nuo with distrust.
"Empress …" "Empress, you mean to say …" Ming Liu's lips trembled as she asked.
"That's right!" Qin Nuo purposely revealed a suspicious look. Did the two of you not hear anything last night? "
"Listen..." I heard it! Peaches even asked the Empress. "But …" What Ming Liu was most concerned about, was not whether or not the ghost had truly escaped from Empress! However, although she usually spoke very smoothly, today she suddenly stuttered. The main thing was — it was unbelievable! Empress looked weak and weak. How could it be …
Qin Nuo was speechless. It was a pity that the noble words she said afterwards only made them pay attention to the matter of the ghosts. But she repeated it seriously.
"Yes!" I can catch ghosts, and when I do, I'll put them away. You all do not have to be afraid, just stay here peacefully! "
The three girls looked at each other, still in disbelief, and then, Ming Liu's eyes started to sparkle.
"Empress, you're really too powerful!"
Qin Nuo continued to be speechless. Other words! Do you understand?
Ming Liu saw that Qin Nuo's face did not reveal much joy, and looking at her with such a meaningful look, she became confused. After looking at the two of them blankly staring at each other for a long time, it was still the first time that she remembered. The Empress' words just now were not only about catching ghosts.
"Yes!" Servants will definitely not cause trouble for Your Highness. " Bi Tao immediately submitted to Qin Nuo. Others might not understand, but she understood the heart of the Empress. The Empress would rather stay here than go back!
Although Ming Liu and Ying He did not remember what Empress said, and their minds were still wandering over the matter of capturing ghosts, but they quickly submitted and expressed their thoughts according to Bi Tao's words.
Qin Nuo nodded, then spoke again slowly.
"Remember! Your highness is very busy! You must not cause trouble for the prince! Ying He, go back and tell the Prince that if he doesn't have time, I'll go back to my parents' home alone! "
The three girls were stunned. The thinking of this Empress really couldn't keep up. How could she think of the idea of going back to her parents' home!
"Hahahahahaha …" "Outside the door, a burst of hearty laughter was suddenly heard, followed by a teasing voice." Third Brother, third Sister-in-Law is really sensible, and knows what's good for her. She doesn't even need to trouble you to go back to your parents' home! "
Qin Nuo turned her head and saw Ling Yexuan striding in. Behind him was a tall figure and a short figure.
The tall one looked very similar to Ling Yexuan. He had big eyes and long eyelashes, a straight nose and thin lips.
The short one had a round face, thick eyebrows like ink stains, two big eyes that flickered, and two faint dimples on the corner of his mouth. If Qin Nuo had not known that he was Old Fifteen, she would have definitely suspected that he was a girl disguised as a man.
Qin Nuo was a little unconvinced. Even if the imperial family had more genes, they shouldn't all be so good-looking, right?
Since they were all inside, it wasn't good for Qin Nuo to sit. She stood up and slightly nodded towards Ling Yexuan, but she didn't say anything.
Only now did Ling Yexuan notice that Qin Nuo was still wearing the inner clothes. She unconsciously frowned, and turned to look at Old Eighth and Old Fifteen. However, the two of them acted like they did not see anything, and smiled at Qin Nuo. Especially for Old Fifteen, her eyes were glistening.
Qin Nuo immediately fell in love with this adorable kid. Looking at Old Fifteen and then Old Eighth, she couldn't help but smile. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to dress up like ghosts. No wonder she said it out loud last night, Ol 'Eight was so surprised and disappointed.
Ling Yexuan's brows furrowed more and more. Not only was this woman's hair dishevelled, his clothes were disheveled. He even smiled so contentedly at Old Eighth and Old Fifteen. Furthermore, his slightly mocking smile reminded him of his failed actions after being mocked by the eighth brother for half a night.
"Go back!" To eat! " Ling Yexuan suddenly stood up and walked outside in large strides. When he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head around. You should hurry up. According to the rules, you must return to the Duke's Mansion before the lights are turned on! "
After he finished speaking, he did not even look at Qin Nuo, but instead glared at Old Eighth and Old Fifteen once before leaving.
"third Sister-in-Law sure is capable, you didn't even say anything, and already angered Third Brother into running away." "The eighth brother also stood up and said with a smile." Today, third Sister-in-Law is going to return, so we will not disturb him any further, and will come back another day to visit third Sister-in-Law. "
As he said that, he patted Old Fifteen, who was still sitting there.
"Gone!" What are you daydreaming for! "
Old Fifteen rolled his eyes at Old Eight, and stood up unwillingly. He stopped at the door, tilted his head and looked at Qin Nuo, then walked back.
"third Sister-in-Law, if someone bullies you, when you blow this, I will protect you!"
"Great!" "Thank you!" Looking at Old Fifteen's young and tender face, Qin Nuo suppressed the urge to stretch his hand out and pinch it. What is this, a whistle? "
"Yes!" "Old Fifteen nodded and looked at Qin Nuo seriously. Even if third brother bullies you, you can brag about it and I will definitely help you! "
"Alright!" Qin Nuo smiled, and stretched out her little finger. This is a promise between the two of us, you can't go back on it! "
Old Fifteen stared at the finger Qin Nuo was holding out his hand with confusion. He did not understand what she wanted to do. Qin Nuo's gaze landed on his hand and slightly raised her eyebrows. Old Fifteen gave a bright smile and also extended his pinky. Qin Nuo tagged it and asked him to seal it.
"Alright!" Qin Nuo took back her hand and solemnly put away the whistle. In the end, she couldn't hold back and reached out to pat Old Fifteen's little face. She couldn't help but sigh. Thank goodness you met me! Otherwise, such a good child would have been led astray by your third brother! "
"I'm not a baby!" "Old Fifteen immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Qin Nuo. I am eight years old! "
"Good!" Good! "You're not a baby. You've grown into a teenager, okay?" Qin Nuo said gently, in a completely coaxing tone.
Old Fifteen nodded in satisfaction and turned around, purposely taking small and steady steps as he walked out.
Outside the door, Ol 'Eight's exaggerated laughter and Ol' Five's dissatisfied mutters could be heard very quickly.
