366 The Ghosts 2 (1/2)
Yao Ling was surprised by the Empress' sudden outburst. But oh well... she helped them to make it more believable ah~! Thus, she continued playing a piece of eerie music with a better mood. However, her eyes never left the audiences --- to see their reactions as well. If someone tried to stop them, she would be able to stop them beforehand.
She sighed when she had to appear with blood all over her body for quite some time --- the smell was so fishy and the feeling was very slimy. It was beyond disgusting but she had just to endure it for their revenge. To make it more believable, they used real blood ah~! Of course, they didn't use human blood, but instead, they chose chicken blood. Yao Ling really needed to hold her breath once in a while or else, she would vomit ah~!
'Ugh! It's so unbearable!' Yao Ling thought to herself.
She really needed to take a bath at least three times after this, after all, they hid the blood package inside her hair. Yao Ying used his inner qi to break the small beads that serve as the containers of the blood when she started to play the qujin just now. That was the reason why the blood could flow down softly out of nowhere.
They had been practicing a lot of times before Yao Ying was finally able to do it with precision, or else, the one that he broke could be her head if he missed by accident. It would not be funny if that really happened ah~! She probably would really become a ghost!
The Han Emperor wasn't even able to listen to his Empress and Ce Fei's words --- he was too entranced by the person who was standing on the stage. Even if he heard what his women said, he wouldn't even put it inside his head. To him, that woman was just his beloved Ce Fei. The one who he had missed all of these times.
Whenever he made love with his women, it was her name that he called over and over again. Thus, every woman in his harem knew that they could never replace the Ce Fei --- even the wicked concubine.
The Han Emperor didn't care whether it was the real Ce Fei or her ghost who appeared, at least, he could see her once again. He didn't even feel scared just like the other onlookers even when he realized that something was amiss from his Ce Fei --- she didn't seem to stand without legs. He pointed at her with a trembling hand. ”You... You come back...” He said in a hoarse voice.
The ghost started to move once again when she heard the Emperor's voice, her attention turned to the latter and her gaze finally left the old official who was already frightened. If Xiao Fang pushed him further, the latter would get a heart attack sooner or later.
When the old official knew that he was finally safe after Xiao Fang retracted her gaze, he sighed in relief, feeling that he had just evaded a great disaster. He didn't dare to breathe or move just now and almost fainted due to the lack of air, fortunately, the ghost's attention was diverted at the right time or else he would have really joined the woman by becoming a ghost as well ah~!
After this, he would go to the temple to pray and ask for an amulet to protect himself from the ghost. He would never do a bad deed again --- he became repentance as long as he didn't meet any ghost ever again!
The ghost's head turned away at a fast speed with a loud cracking sound which surprised the surrounding audience and the ghost looked at the Emperor with an expression of intense hatred. She smiled cynically at him and said, ”Yes... I came back from hell because of you...” She used a soft and broken voice to talk in her ghost disguise.
Xiao Fang gave a signal to Lin Jian to prepare himself --- it was time to use the same technique as Yao Ying just now.
*Poof*
Lin Jian hit several beads inside Xiao Fang's hair.
Thus, suddenly there was a blood trail at her face which made the Emperor flinch and the latter asked, ”Xiao Lan... what happened to you? Why is there suddenly a blood trail on your face?” He was still being delusional and thinking that his Ce Fei had come back for real.
Xiao Fang smiled like a predator and then her smile turned into a snarl, she bared her teeth like a wolf --- an angry wolf. ”Isn't it because of you? Don't you remember?” She tilted her head to the side. The ghost looked like a desolate figure which was mournful and lonely all of a sudden.
