Chapter 158 Being Entangled
Liu Qingrou's body was cleaned, her messy hair was combed and spread behind her, her face was without any makeup and looked extremely pale.
"Has she woken up?" Yi Qianhuan sat down beside the bed and quickly checked on Liu Qingrou's condition.
Zhang was worried: "He hasn't woken up yet."
"She has been possessed by resentment for many days, so it is normal for her to be weak. Send some ginseng soup over first to stimulate her to wake up." Following Yi Qianhuan's order, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly brought the ginseng soup.
Yi Qianhuan poured the bowl of still hot ginseng soup into Liu Qingrou's mouth.
"Bring the spittoon." Yi Qianhuan said, standing up and making way for him.
The maids brought the spittoon, and Liu Qingrou, who was originally drowsy, opened her eyes in pain, and vomited as soon as she opened her mouth.
A spittoon was soon filled, and the filth gave off an indescribable stench of decay.
Liu Qingrou almost vomited bile. She rinsed her mouth and retched for a long time before finally lying down weakly.
"I, what's wrong with me?" Liu Qingrou was confused. After looking around, her eyes were full of doubt.
"Rou'er!" When Zhang saw Liu Qingrou waking up, she almost cried for joy and hurriedly sat beside her.
"Mother..." Liu Qingrou subconsciously wanted to sit up, but fell back on the bed because of weakness all over her body. "Mother, what happened to my daughter? I feel like I had a very long dream, but I can't remember what happened in the dream..."
"Miss Liu is not dreaming, she is possessed by evil spirits." Yi Qianhuan carefully checked Liu Qingrou's condition.
Liu Qingrou's mind was still not clear enough. She thought Yi Qianhuan looked familiar, but she couldn't remember her identity for a moment.
At this time, Princess Lianhe gently reminded: "Miss Liu, this is the wife of the Prince of Pingyang, and she is also a master of mysticism. It was the wife of the Prince who helped you when you were possessed by evil spirits just now."
Liu Qingrou just remembered something, her beautiful eyes filled with tears: "I, I remember everything! Madam, please save me, don't let things bother me anymore!"
"Don't be anxious. Tell me first, what exactly is the thing you saw that has been bothering you?" Yi Qianhuan softened his voice.
Liu Qingrou choked up twice: "About a month ago, I always dreamed of many birds and beasts in my dreams. At first, I had a lot of fun playing with them. But slowly, the situation I saw changed. The appearance of these birds and beasts began to become ferocious. They clung to me tightly and tortured me non-stop, making me almost collapse!"
Zhang watched with heartache and kept wiping away tears: "Madam, although Rou'er was weak before, she only had some headaches and fever. It is true that Rou'er's condition has been getting worse since a month ago."
“Those birds and beasts tortured and harassed me. I tried to dodge, and their appearance began to change. They had human features on their bodies, and they even claimed to be gods… Later, I didn’t know what happened to me. I actually asked them to turn me into a god. They said that I was offending the gods by thinking this, and that their chief would come to take my life one day.
I was so scared that I wanted to turn those gods back into birds and beasts, thinking that as long as there were enough birds around me, nothing would go wrong. Now it seems that I was too naive..."
Zhang hugged Liu Qingrou, who was crying bitterly, with heartache.
Princess Lianhe stood aside and watched the scene with dismay: "Madam, I wonder why Miss Liu is in such a state?"
"It's normal for someone to be possessed by an evil spirit and suffer from constant nightmares and physical weakness. Also, there are signs of Miss Liu's luck being taken away from her body. This can be combined with other cases of people having their luck taken away in the capital for investigation." While Yi Qianhuan was speaking, he had already held Liu Qingrou's hand.
There was a dazzling golden light jumping in the phoenix eyes, and Yi Qianhuan carefully felt Liu Qingrou's situation.
Soon, she saw some memories of Liu Qingrou going to Wanbao Auction House.
"Ms. Liu, during the period when you were unwell, did you go to Wanbao Auction House often?"
Liu Qingrou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "How did the wife of the prince know?"
"We have found that Wanbao Auction House has a great relationship with the cases of people's luck being taken away in the capital. I also heard from others that you have been to Wanbao Auction House before."
Liu Qingrou hummed: "I do go to Wanbao Auction House often. The first time I went there I was just curious, but later, I found that every time I went to the auction house I felt very happy."
Princess Lianhe asked curiously, "Is there anything interesting in this auction house?"
Liu Qingrou thought about it carefully: "All the decorations and arrangements in the auction house do look very luxurious. However, overall, it looks no different from an ordinary auction house, and there is nothing special about it."
"Then why do you feel happy to go to that place?" Zhang couldn't understand.
Liu Qingrou didn't know how to explain: "I don't understand either... I just simply like it, and deep down I long to be closer to that place. If you must dwell on the reason, I actually don't know why I am like this."
Seeing Liu Qingrou lower her head, Yi Qianhuan understood: "Is it like there is something in your body, pulling you forward? And every time you go, although your heart is very satisfied, your body will become weak."
"Yes, that's it! Since the Crown Prince's wife knows my situation, can she think of a way to save me?" Liu Qingrou asked urgently.
"The evil spirit in your body has been expelled by me. From now on, you should rest in peace and don't go to Wanbao Auction House again. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be fine after I catch the culprit who steals other people's luck behind your back and return all your lost luck." Yi Qianhuan said this, but unexpectedly saw Liu Qingrou's frustrated expression.
"I can't go to the auction house anymore?"
Zhang slapped Liu Qingrou's hand hard and said, "What are you asking? You can't go to a place that harms people! You better listen to me and don't go near that damn place again!"
There was visible disappointment on Liu Qingrou's face: "Yes, my daughter will listen to my mother's instructions."
Zhang said angrily, "Not only should Rou'er not go, in my opinion, that kind of auction house that harms people should be closed down directly to prevent more people from being deceived!"
"Madam, don't be upset. The Inspector is already investigating this matter. If the entire auction house is closed before the truth is found out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Inspector to continue the case. Madam, please do not publicize this matter for the time being for my sake and cooperate with the Northern Pacification Bureau." Princess Lianhe said softly.
