However, when Xie Qiao arrived at Fortune Pavilion today, she found that his eldest brother was sitting there.
Xie Pinggang's heart tightened.
She did not change her clothes when she went out today, so when they looked at each other, Xie Qiao was a little scared. Thinking that she had only done good things recently, she straightened her back and walked forward, "Eldest Brother, are you here to buy things?"
Xie Pinggang snorted, "You did well."
Xie Qiao faked a laugh, "What are you going to buy, Eldest Brother? I'm quite familiar with this place."
Xie Pinggang took out a Love Talisman from his pocket and stuffed it into Xie Qiao's hand, "As your eldest brother, I should give you some gifts as a reward. After picking and choosing, I thought that clothes and jewelry are useless. What you need now... is this thing."
Xie Qiao's smile disappeared.
She inscribed those talismans herself and used them on herself?
Some other talismans could be used to ward off evil spirits and exorcism, but this Love Talisman... was useless to her, okay?!
Besides, was he sure it was not because the clothes and jewelry were more expensive?!
Xie Qiao hesitated and accepted the thing.
Xie Pinggang initially wanted to buy some things and leave, but he heard from the shopkeeper that his sister had been coming here often recently, so he sat here and waited. Maybe he would run into her, but he did not expect to have such a coincidence.
Xie Pinggang looked at Xie Qiao with a strange gaze, which made Xie Qiao's scalp tingle.
"I was too impulsive earlier. I shouldn't have let Pinghuai get beaten up," Xie Qiao thought for a moment and admitted her mistake.
"He deserved to be beaten up. It's good that he can improve after getting beaten up," Xie Pinggang did not blame her.
Xie Qiao bit her lip.
Was it not because of Xie Pinghuai? Then what was it? Staring at her like that was a little scary!
"Cough, cough, cough..." Xie Qiao coughed a few times and then quickly calmed herself down.
She raised her head pitifully.
Xie Pinggang hesitated and took out a letter from his pocket, "The Crown Prince gave this to you."
Xie Qiao looked at him in surprise and then quickly took it.
The identity of the female ghost in palace attire had been investigated!
Xie Pinggang's eyes were cold, "You're boosting your reputation when the royal family is choosing a Princess Consort. Don't tell me you have ulterior motives?"
The corner of Xie Qiao's lips twitched.
"I'm afraid that this little bit of reputation is not enough, unless our father's social status is raised to another level. So, I'll say the same thing. You should give up on that idea. Also, I'm delivering the letter for the Crown Prince because he said that there's nothing important here. I'm only willing to run errands after I've read it, understand?" Xie Pinggang said again.
Xie Qiao was a little speechless.
She opened the letter in front of Xie Pinggang and took a look.
The words written on it were extremely simple.
The appearance of the palace dress girl was exactly the same as that of Princess Xingmo who passed away 20 years ago. The only difference was that the clothes and accessories on her body belonged to Princess Xingmo's palace maid.
He also wrote about the life of Princess Xingmo.
Princess Xingmo, the eldest daughter of Consort Dowager Jiang.
Consort Dowager Jiang was extraordinary. She was responsible for the popularity of the female schools in the capital.
Consort Dowager Jiang's ancestors were some extraordinary people. She could be said to be the one most similar to her ancestors. After marrying the late Emperor, she built a prosperous era…
Consort Dowager Jiang entered the imperial palace at the age of 18. She gave birth to Princess Xingmo at the age of 20. It took another five years before the current Emperor was born.
The letter said that Princess Xingmo had suddenly disappeared at the age of 17 and there had been no news of her. After seven or eight years, they had no choice but to announce to the public that the princess had died of a sudden illness.
Xie Qiao was shocked when she saw the contents of the letter.
So…
This ghoul was the First Princess, Princess Xingmo who was wearing a palace maid's clothes?
Furthermore, from the meaning of the letter, the First Princess' bones had not been found.
