Chapter 1708 Unusual Pulse
Chapter 1708 Unusual Pulse
There are quite a few people from the Ghost Market here in the West Courtyard, such as that Lord Qi'a.
They probably don't know that the eldest sister keeps ghosts at home, right?
"I'm here to see Third Sister!" Zheng Ying was quite clever; saying that looking for Lu Zhaoling might not be a good idea, and she didn't know anything about these things.
If you say you're looking for Third Sister, then you definitely can.
These past few days, Third Sister has already told them quite a few of her "glorious deeds" in the Underworld.
This suggests that the ghosts of the underworld should all know about her.
Isn't it normal for such a powerful ghost cultivator to have a couple of little female ghosts under his command?
Sure enough, upon hearing that she had come to see Sheng San Niangzi, all the ghosts present immediately showed expressions of realization.
In fact, their gazes toward Zheng Ying even became three degrees more affectionate.
"You're here to see Envoy Sheng? She said she'd be here soon..."
"Who is looking for this immortal messenger?"
Just then, Madam Sheng arrived.
Upon entering the west courtyard, the first thing you see is a large incense burner with a stick of soul-soothing incense sticks inserted in it.
She smelled it immediately.
"Isn't this a master craftsman's incense?! There's so much of it?"
She almost lunged at them, but then realized that the incense sticks were almost burned out, and it was obvious at a glance that they all belonged to someone else.
"The Prince of Jin actually stole so much incense from the master to give to you?"
Suddenly, a thought popped into Sheng San Niangzi's head: she was going to file a complaint!
Master Lu's incense is extremely rare in the underworld and among ghosts; it's practically a hard currency, the most valuable one out there!
There are dozens of sticks of firecrackers lit here now!
The Prince of Jin is such a spendthrift!
“Envoy Sheng,” Xiao Bai said, feeling a little guilty. These incense sticks were meant for them. They had come up to attend a wedding banquet, which was relaxing and enjoyable, and they even got a free stick of good incense. They were overjoyed, but none of them were for Envoy Sheng. “Zheng Yiban is looking for you.”
Change the subject, quickly change the subject.
However, his change of topic was indeed a bit abrupt.
Madam Sheng snorted and turned around to see Zheng Ying.
Zheng Ying, her face stiff, looked at the two envoys and said, "I'm not called Zheng Yiban'er, I'm called Zheng Ying. If you two can't remember, you can call me Xiao Zheng."
After all, there were so many ghosts here, and each of them seemed to have a higher status and cultivation level than her, so Zheng Yingke put herself in a rather lowly position.
As soon as she said that, the two envoys smiled apologetically at her and said, "Then let's call you Miss Zheng. I really can't remember your name. I just heard that you only had half a body at the beginning."
Zheng Ying's face stiffened even more. These two ghost messengers were really quite impolite.
Qi'a also glanced in this direction.
Seeing that Zheng Ying really knew Sheng San Niangzi, everyone went back to drinking and chatting.
Madam Sheng led Zheng Ying aside and asked, "Has something happened at Huai Garden?"
Everyone was preoccupied with their own affairs on the other side.
Zheng Ying shook her head and said, "Huaiyuan is fine. It's just that the Fu family went to find Madam Fu and asked her to come to the Prince's Mansion. Miss Rong then asked me to come and ask if anything had happened here."
Madam Sheng sighed and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. There were just a few fools who tried to play tricks at the wedding banquet, and they were using the same old tricks. They almost framed the Crown Prince."
"However, the Crown Prince was quite clever and prevented them from succeeding. Now, the only problem is that the girl from the Yao family has some health issues, which is why someone was sent to invite Yao Shi over."
"Go back and tell Miss Rong to rest assured. Master Lu is doing well too."
Madam Sheng kept the Empress's details to herself. It's better to wait until Master Lu meets Miss Rong to discuss this in person. It's not appropriate for her to talk about the Empress of a nation.
After hearing her words, Zheng Ying nodded, "Then I'll go back and talk to Miss Rong about it."
She turned around and bowed to the two men, one in black and one in white, saying, "Then please continue drinking, everyone. I'll be leaving now."
Xiao Bai waved to her enthusiastically and said, "Miss Zheng, would you like to come and have a drink with us? It would be more appropriate for you to drink here, right? Do you have any drinks over there that you can handle?"
He was thinking that even if Zheng Ying stayed in Huaiyuan, she would be a ghost and probably wouldn't be able to drink with other people.
Madam Sheng raised an eyebrow at him, "You have quite a lot to worry about."
She waved her hand, signaling Zheng Ying to leave quickly.
To be honest, he was originally a ghost who should have been taken away by the ghost messengers to be reincarnated. It's not good for him to be with so many ghost messengers.
Zheng Ying felt a little guilty and quickly slipped away.
Qi'a held the wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and seemed to be deep in thought.
He asked one of the ghost messengers sitting next to him, "Does Master Lu have quite a few ghosts with him?"
The ghost messenger paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't know either. I've actually only met Master Lu a few times, we're not familiar with each other. Hehe, not familiar at all."
As he spoke, he picked up a glass of wine and ran to the next table to toast a few other ghost messengers, loudly saying, "Come on, brothers, let's have a drink together."
Qi'a couldn't help but smile.
Are you really not familiar with him? When they moved that kid to their table after the other table was full, he said something to him as soon as he sat down—
I used to fight evil spirits alongside my senior sister, so we're both very happy to be here at her wedding today! You must have fought alongside my senior sister too, right?
Now they turn around and say they're not familiar with Master Lu anymore. They really know how to talk nonsense.
The two envoys, one in black and one in white, glanced at him, then looked at each other, both of them somewhat puzzled.
Why does Lord Qi'a care so much about whether Senior Sister is accompanied by ghosts? It's normal for someone like Senior Sister to have a few ghosts around her, isn't it?
We need to talk to our senior sister about this later. They don't know how our senior sister and Lord Qi'a became so close.
Is it just a trip to the ghost market?
Madam Sheng San came over. "Come, come, where is my seat?"
"The Immortal Envoy has come to our place!"
"Immortal Envoy, here you are, here you are! A seat has been reserved for you!"
Madam Sheng beamed. She knew it! She was very popular!
It's over at the guesthouse.
Dr. Fu has examined that Miss Yao again.
As for Jin Xi, he couldn't see anything wrong with her, but he felt that there was something strange about Jin Xi's eyes. Doctor Fu could tell the result by taking her pulse, observing her, listening to her, and asking her questions.
"Jin Xi's pulse was very weak at this moment, but it was also strangely dry. There were red veins in his eyes. Logically speaking, he should be listless and unable to muster any energy at this time."
Dr. Fu explained, "But now her eyes are sharp, and she's about to scream as soon as the cloth in her mouth is removed. She was incredibly strong when she struggled just now, which is inconsistent with her pulse."
"Please invite Sect Leader Yin and the others over," Zhou Shiyue said.
