C333 Fright

Mu Ruqing got up from the bed and had dinner. She looked around the room but did not find anything. Just as she was puzzled, she heard Lingyue's voice outside the door.

"Did you come back just now?" Just as Lingyue entered the room, Mu Ruqing asked.

"No. The matter had only been settled now. Will the Princess blame me? " Lingyue tried to please her but her heart was filled with thoughts. This matter was strange. She disappeared from the Imperial Residence just like that. There were quite a few things in their room and there were no signs of fighting.

"You are doing things for the Imperial Residence. It's not too late to praise you." Mu Ruqing also had something on her mind. Who was the shadow that she saw just now? Thinking about it carefully, that shadow was actually drifting a little, as if it was swayed by the breeze. But that was a human shadow without a doubt. It was a human shadow. How could it be understood by a gust of wind?

Both of them had something on their minds, but they didn't say it because they didn't want each other to be innocent and worried. After all, they hadn't found out the cause of the matter.

"Did you eat dinner?" Mu Ruqing looked at Lingyue's shrivelled stomach.

Lingyue shook her head.

"Quickly go and eat. She was especially sleepy these few days. She had just woken up and had dinner, but now she was sleepy again." Mu Ruqing yawned as she spoke.

"Yes." Lingyue helped Mu Ruqing lie down and closed the door. She then let two servant girl guard the door and left.

Mu Ruqing did not fall asleep and just laid on the bed for two to three hours.

She was waiting for that shadow. Perhaps she was really tired and her eyelids slowly became heavier.

Some people say that the speed of time depends on the speed of your exercise. If you move fast, then time will become slow. If you move slowly, then time will become faster.

Maybe that's why. We always...

The reason why we always feel that we will never be able to sleep enough. )

The night was not always the same. Tonight, the moon hid behind the dark clouds.

Under the cover of the night, the raindrops slowly fell, one drop or two drops... Until it became dense and innumerable.

"Rumble!"

The heavy rain was always accompanied by lightning.

Mu Ruqing heard the sound of thunder in a trance. There was also a white light in front of her eyes. She did not care about it as she was sleeping. She just moved her hand and stretched it outside.

While she was in a daze, she heard the loud thunder. Mu Ruqing was about to turn over and sleep but there was a cold touch between her fingers.

Mu Ruqing did not open her eyes and moved her hands but after a while, it was that cold touch again.

This time Mu Ruqing opened her eyes in discomfort. The room was pitch black and there was only a candle lit on the table behind the screen.

The weak candlelight was swayed by the wind blowing from the window and pressed the shadow of the screen over.

It should be Lingyue who came to her room again and saw that Mu Ruqing had already fallen asleep. She put out the extra candle and only left one.

Mu Ruqing wore a plain white inner garment and looked at the candle light swaying on the screen. She frowned. Why did she forget to close the window?

The sound of the rain outside the window was very loud and covered the sound of Mu Ruqing waking up.

Mu Ruqing only wanted to quickly close the window and continue to sleep. She did not know the time and only knew how dark it was.

She did not see a black shadow that did not move at the foot of the bed. After putting on her shoes, she headed towards the table.

The wind was getting stronger and the candle flame was also shaking more and more. Mu Ruqing had yet to reach the table.

"Pffft."

The candle was extinguished and the last light in the room disappeared.

He couldn't even see his own fingers.

"Tap!" It was the sound of wood hitting wood. Mu Ruqing turned her head to look in the direction of the window and frowned.

She stood in the middle of the room and became alert. She recalled the place where the fire folders were placed. She walked a few steps in the dark and kicked the stool. Mu Ruqing did not care and continued to walk. She kicked something again.

Mu Ruqing directly walked over to the cabinet but did not find the fire piston. She had no choice but to shout at the door twice, "Lingyue!? Lingyue! Is there anyone?"

What answered her was only the majestic sound of the rain and the muffled sound of thunder.

Mu Ruqing called out twice, but still no one answered.

Mu Ruqing's heart became uneasy. In this room, she was definitely not the only one. She did not know what that person's purpose was.

She could not run out. Since she could enter her room, there must have been arrangements made outside. If she went out, she didn't know what she would encounter. It was still raining outside... If she fell, the child wouldn't be safe.

In the room, at least she knew the layout of the room, and she could rely on her memory to know where it was.

However, there was no more sound in the room. Mu Ruqing had also adapted to the darkness and could vaguely see the pillars.

Mu Ruqing's back was facing the door. What she was most afraid of now was that there were too many people in this room. She could not defeat them and unconsciously, her pupils turned blood red.

She was on guard and pulled out the sword from the pillar. That was something she had prepared a long time ago to prevent such a situation.

"Dong!"

A sound suddenly came from the other side of the room. Mu Ruqing suddenly turned her head and used her ears to look at the other side of the sound. Just as she took a few steps forward, she heard another sound from the other side of the bed.

Mu Ruqing was more or less nervous now, but she was not afraid. She could not be afraid now.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!"

Thunder accompanied lightning! However, it illuminated the entire room.

But in that instant, Mu Ruqing habitually closed her eyes and did not look at the situation in the room.

She retreated to the screen with her back to the screen.

Something suddenly fell down in front of her. Mu Ruqing raised her hand and slashed a few times but it was useless.

She took a step forward, as if she stepped on something.

Mu Ruqing was currently like a blind person and could not see anything. She could only rely on her sense of hearing and smell to feel.

Before she squatted down, she smelled a faint rotting smell.

Mu Ruqing was shocked and suddenly remembered the look of Erchou when he was rotting. She seemed to have thought of something and used her sword to draw beside her feet. She did not touch the floor.

This time, Mu Ruqing was sure that the person who appeared in this room was not a person.

Mu Ruqing heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it was not a person. Then, she laughed evilly. It had been a long time since she had seen a bloody scene.

Tonight, she dreamed of Erchou's bloody appearance again. Mu Ruqing smelled the faint rotten smell in the room and actually became somewhat excited.

Squatting down, she touched the things on the floor. It was neither brocade nor gauze. The texture was a little slippery and cool. Her fingers moved and touched thin things that seemed to be somewhat hard.

Some looked like hair, but Mu Ruqing was not sure. Some of the hair was scalp...

"Rumble!"

This time, Mu Ruqing did not close her eyes. She could clearly see what her hand was touching.

It was slightly yellow and there were red spots on it. It was blood.

Mu Ruqing squinted her eyes. It felt pretty good, but she did not know whose skin it was.

With the help of the lightning, Mu Ruqing confirmed her thoughts. The skin started from the hair, one to the heel, but only the back.

Mu Ruqing was still very disgusted. She found the table, poured tea, and washed her hands, only then did she feel more comfortable.

Then she remembered that the figure she saw this evening was probably the skin print of this person...

Before she could continue thinking, there was another muffled thunder.

Mu Ruqing continued to turn her head to look. This time the lightning had dimmed a little and it did not take long before Mu Ruqing did not see anything.

There was actually a feeling of treasure hunting. Mu Ruqing did not know if the person who wanted to scare her was out of his mind.
