Chapter 32

The blood on Princess Anyi’s face slowly receded, and it became difficult to breathe, with more exhalations and less inhalation.

Everyone’s faces were pale, and they wanted to move but didn’t dare to touch them, for fear that their own strength would intensify and destroy Princess Anyi’s fragile and precarious life at this time.

After raising the general for more than half a year, Princess Anyi’s body was able to recover. Qi Song and Lord An Xiaohou also knelt for more than half a year. The elders of the family made apologies and apologized against the anger of the princess and the son-in-law. Don’t appear in front of Princess Anyi, so as not to cause the whole family to follow along.

However, the accident between Qi Song and Master An seemed to be just the beginning, and what happened after that shocked the entire capital.

Nested in the mansion for a long time to cultivate, Princess Anyi came as soon as she received the invitation from the little sister.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Poetry Meeting on the Double Ninth Festival held by the daughter of the emperor Ouyang Taifu, because of the openness of the dynasty, men and women shuttled back and forth at the poetry meeting, and there were no separate seats for men and women, but gathered in one place.

When everyone saw Princess Anyi, who hadn’t shown up for a long time, they all came to say hello to her. Princess Anyi held back for a long time, and was happy to see the excitement.

Because it is a poetry meeting, everyone writes poems during the period, and the top three are selected.

Princess Anyi was not good at poetry, so she made up for it with paintings. The chrysanthemums she painted were full of shape and meaning, and everyone praised them.

The little sister was joking aside, Princess Anyi teased her a few words, and suddenly felt a line of sight sticking to her body, she turned her head to inspect, but couldn’t find the owner of the line of sight.

Shaking his head secretly, he felt that he hadn’t gone out for too long, and his nerves became sensitive.

However, when everyone moved to the lake pavilion, she felt that gaze sticking to her body again.

This feeling of thorns on the back has been lingering for a long time, and he couldn’t find it when he searched for it. Feeling uncomfortable, Princess Anyi left early.

When falling asleep at night, half asleep and half awake, she noticed something approaching, the window was tapped and opened…

When she woke up the next day, she found a bouquet of flowers and a piece of paper folded in half on the windowsill. Princess Anyi opened it—the painting on it was exactly the scene when she was painting at the banquet yesterday.

She pursed her lips tightly. It seemed that yesterday was not an illusion, but that someone was actually watching her from a place she couldn’t see.

It is a big event that the boudoir of the eldest princess’ daughter is approached by someone who does not know the details.

Princess Anyi summoned her maid for interrogation, and told her parents about the incident. The eldest princess and her son-in-law immediately stepped up the defense of the mansion.

But it was useless, another morning, Princess Anyi received another bouquet of flowers and a painting depicting her making rouge.

It seems that the other side knows what Princess Anyi does every day, and the feeling of being spied on all the time is like a gangrene, which makes people really uncomfortable.

However, more extreme things began to happen, it seemed that there was nothing they could do to hold them, and the other party began to push forward.

Princess Anyi lost some of her personal belongings slowly.

In the room, the eldest princess sighed to the son-in-law: “Why is An Yi so unlucky this year, and this kind of thing happened just after healed up, what kind of **** did he offend?”

“Hey,” the son-in-law also sighed, “It’s troublesome, why don’t you invite an expert to take a look?”

The eldest princess pondered for a while and nodded in agreement, “I’ll go ask.”

Then he told Princess Anyi not to go out of the house in the near future, and to keep safe, he painted at home to spend some time.

Princess Anyi had no choice but to play some games with the maid every day in the mansion to pass the time. Today she went to the highest attic in the mansion and wanted to draw the street scene.

The guards were standing guard downstairs, and the maid followed closely.

But something went wrong.

Princess Anyi suddenly fell into a coma, and her personnel were unknown. At first, the maids only thought that the Princess was sleepy, so they slept on the beauty couch, until the eldest maid was afraid that the wind in the attic would be too strong, and the princess went up to call, but she couldn’t wake up the Princess.

The eldest princess came immediately when she heard the news, and sent someone to the palace to invite an imperial doctor, but they couldn’t diagnose any problems. Princess Anyi just fell asleep. Her peaceful sleeping face seemed to tell everyone that she was fine, but no one Sleep for four or five days and still not wake up?

The eldest princess and the son-in-law were anxious like ants on a hot pot, looking for all kinds of high-level witches and wizards everywhere.

On the other side, Princess Anyi woke up.

Suddenly found that she seemed to be in a little straw man, she moved her hands and feet in surprise, suspecting that she was in a dream.

Looking around again, this place seems to be a tool room.

Various tools and sundries are placed on the shelves against the wall. In the middle is a coffee table and a few futons. There are also some tools on it. It seems that someone has worked at the desk not long ago.

And the place under her feet is also a shelf, surrounded by several similar straw figures and painted pottery figurines.

Her suspicion that this was a dream began to waver. This dream was so real, even the dust flying in the light from the window was so vivid and detailed.

How did she end up here, in this little straw man? Is it from the soul? Could it be the ghost of the person who peeped at her every day?

Princess Anyi speculated like this, but she also revealed the truth.

She observed her situation, and there was no one in the room.

I don’t know what was holding me back, it was a good opportunity.

Before he comes over, you have to escape quickly.

As soon as he moved his feet, the little grass man moved his feet too. Princess Anyi got up, and the little grass man got up on the shelf.

Inside the little straw man’s body, Princess Anyi supported the wooden board next to her and looked at the ground, as if standing on a cliff overlooking the abyss.

Princess Anyi took a breath, wondering how he was going to get down to such a high place.

The whole house is like a huge hunting ground in front of her who is now the size of a palm, she needs to be very careful not to fall to pieces.

Having said that, now that her body has fallen, will there be any problems?

Time is passing by little by little, we can no longer hesitate like this, we must race against time.

That person may come back anytime.

Thinking that that person might be on the way to this room, biting his teeth, Princess Anyi made up his mind, grabbed the pillars at the corner of the shelf, hooked his hands and feet, and slowly rubbed down.

Fortunately, the scarecrow’s body is relatively rough and can be hugged better. As long as you don’t look down at the dizzying height, you can move down bit by bit to reach the ground.

Yes, that’s it.

While cheering himself up and overcoming his fear, Princess Anyi finally fell to the ground without any danger.

She breathed a sigh of relief, ran towards the closed door, and was stopped before the high threshold. She raised her head to measure the height with her eyes. Princess Anyi inspected the whole room, her eyes fell under the coffee table.

Next to the futon is a matchbox, which the owner left behind after lighting the candles.

After a little effort, he pushed the matchbox over. Princess Anyi stepped on it and stood on tiptoe. Finally, she climbed onto the threshold. Just as she was about to climb out, there was the sound of approaching footsteps outside.

She took a deep breath, she might run into it when she climbed out at this time, there is nothing to cover in the corridor, she can see everything at a glance, how can she run when she is a little grass, she is pinched easily in the palm of your hand.

At the moment of crisis, Princess Anyi had an idea.

—

The visitor walked at a leisurely pace at the beginning, stepped into the courtyard, and became more hurried as he approached the room.

He pushed open the door, stepped across the threshold with long legs, and went straight to the shelf, his eyes searching back and forth on several little straw figures.

strangeness?

There was a red light flashing on the mirror, indicating that the soul of Princess Anyi had been brought here, so why didn’t these straw men respond.

wrong.

The visitor counted the straw figures carefully, and the corner of his mouth raised a strange and crazy arc.

There is one less.

Looking around the house, the man’s eyes narrowed slightly when his eyes fell on the matchbox on the threshold.

The upward curve of the corner of his mouth became bigger, and it was like two parts with the deep and dead eyes on the upper half of his face like an ancient well. Two completely different faces appeared on one face, one repressed and the other arrogant, and the madness became more and more obvious.

Can’t run far.

She can’t run far.

From the time he noticed the flashing red light to the time he rushed over, she must still be in this yard.

Cutie, cutie, let me see where you’re hiding? Hide it well.

The hunter paced slowly in the courtyard, looking for the prey that did not know where it was hiding, because he was sure that it was all under his control, and he enjoyed this cat and mouse game very much.

However, a quarter of an hour later.

“Where is it? Where is she! It’s impossible to escape. Impossible!” The man’s crazy expression was tinged with anger.

He returned to the room angrily, knelt on the futon with his hands folded, and took out the small mirror in his sleeve.

It was a bronze mirror smaller than a palm. Someone recited the mantra silently, and a figure the size of a fingernail slowly appeared on the brass-colored mirror.

The man’s gloomy expression immediately disappeared like smoke, and he regained the somewhat crazy expression at the beginning.

He paced slowly, his footsteps seemed to be intentional, step by step on the drum-like heartbeat of the person hiding in the dark.

“Got you.”

He grabbed the little straw man behind the door panel, ignored her struggle, strangled her neck, took a needle and nailed the little straw man through its chest to the coffee table.

The needle pierced through the straw man’s chest, but Princess Anyi also felt a pain like a needle **** in her chest, and the cold sharp blade pierced through the heart.

“It’s not good.”

It seemed that she could see her painful expression through the little straw man, and the man’s face was full of crazy pleasure.

“How about I punish you and put you in there?” He pointed to an agate tumbler on the shelf.

“Without feet, you can’t run.” The tumbler was poked and swayed from side to side.

The man chuckled.

After laughing, he put on a gloomy expression again, and was about to carry out what he said, when there was a rush of footsteps outside.

“Eldest young master, Madam invites you to come over.” The servant at the door bowed and lowered his head.

When the man heard the word “madam”, his face became even more gloomy, his face facing away from the light was shrouded in darkness, but when he turned around, he changed into a gentle and restrained face.

“understood.”

His tone sounded too calm and honest, he got up and followed the boy, the boy’s drooping face was full of disdain and contempt.

The little straw man was held in his hands and hidden under the wide sleeves. Princess Anyi felt that she was going to be out of breath.

In such a suffocating situation, she began to think about why she was exposed. Obviously, the matchbox did confuse this person at the beginning, making him think that she ran out. What made him catch him hiding behind the door panel? your own?

God knows how it feels to be suddenly strangled by someone who just let out a long sigh of relief and thought he had escaped a catastrophe.

What ghostly trick did this man use to imprison himself in a straw man and find his whereabouts at any time?

After thinking about it, he soon arrived at the lady’s side.

While the man bowed his hands to salute, Princess Anyi secretly glanced at the head, wanting to see if this lady had seen him at the banquet before.

When she saw the flower and tree structure in the courtyard along the way, she knew that she was in the mansion of an official in Kyoto. If she could recognize the wife who was the head of the house, then she would know the identity of the man who imprisoned her.

After the man saluted, he stood quietly by the side with his hands down. The lady ignored him at all and continued to gossip with her daughter.

Princess Anyi lay in her sleeves, matching the faces she had just seen with the ones in her mind. After a while, she finally remembered who this lady was.
