Jiang Nan rested for a while, leaned on the wall and climbed up, and wanted to leave, but the old eunuch looked at her so intriguingly, she muttered to herself while watching.

Her speech was slurred, and her ears buzzed like mosquitoes flying. She didn't listen carefully.

After thinking about it, Jiang Nan stepped forward to help the old eunuch, but the old eunuch was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, unable to help her up, staring at her blankly.

"I don't care about you anymore." Jiang Nan gave up and raised her feet to leave.

"Princess, are you back? Is this old slave too old for you to recognize?" the old eunuch suddenly said.

Jiang Nan's feet suddenly stopped, and she turned around in shock. In her slightly twisted eyes, countless thoughts flashed through her, including murder and silence.

"Old slave, I'm sorry for you! I have lived in idiocy for so many years. I should have died long ago. I didn't expect to see you again one day! Old slave... I really have no regrets in dying!" The old eunuch began to cry, and his cry was thin and soft. Old, like a broken erhu string, it is very ugly.

Jiang Nan braced herself hard enough to barely hear clearly. She walked closer, knelt down, and asked the old eunuch softly: "Are you from the previous dynasty?"

Gaozu captured the imperial city, although some people were slaughtered, but he did not kill them all. Judging from the age of this old eunuch, it is very likely that he was a palace servant who served in the imperial city in the previous dynasty.

"Are you still alive? Run away quickly! The royal family in Beiliang is gone, we can't fight against Xie's family." The old eunuch grabbed Jiang Nan's hand suddenly, and his chaotic eyes widened, showing concern .

Jiang Nan frowned and twisted away the old eunuch's hand. The first words did not match the second words. Is this old eunuch crazy?
"Princess, don't be angry with this old slave!" The old eunuch cried again with aggrievedness, took out his key, and pointed to the closed door, "Go and take a look at that room, the old slave always remembers And you!"

Jiang Nan accepted the key dubiously, followed the old eunuch's instructions, and walked to the locked room.

Opening the door, countless curtains in the room hung down and fluttered in the wind, blocking her view. She lifted the curtains and walked inside step by step.

There is a table in the innermost place on which incense is offered, and a painting hangs on the wall.

Jiang Nan stared blankly, her lips trembling.

It was another portrait of the eldest princess of the previous court. She stayed there for a while, then looked away.

Sure enough, it was painted by Gaozu himself.

She went crazy, stepped forward to tear off the portrait, tore it into pieces, still not relieved, lit the fragments close to the candle, threw them outside the house, and burned them to ashes.

When the old eunuch saw it, he cried: "Why did you burn it? This is so unlucky! This was painted by Emperor Gaozu himself!"

Now, far away, the old eunuch no longer recognized Jiang Nan, and shouted angrily: "Where did you come from? How dare you act wild here?"

Jiang Nan's eyes reflected the firelight on the ground, and she turned a deaf ear. She looked around, walked up to the old eunuch, and then asked, "Who lives here on weekdays?"

The old eunuch looked up for a long time, and his expression became respectful again: "As far as the eldest princess is concerned, there are ghosts here, no one lives here, and the palace people usually take a detour. Order before, no random people are allowed to enter at will, I am afraid that this place has long been razed to the ground and rebuilt!"

Hearing this, Jiang Nan felt relieved.

She remembered that there was indeed a haunted house in the imperial city, and she had heard that the ghosts in this haunted house had eaten many maids since she was a child.

The old eunuch thought for a while, and then said: "More than ten years ago, there was a little prince who was not afraid of ghosts. He took a mahogany sword and insisted on catching ghosts. He almost burned it! Then no one will hold the little prince accountable for his crimes. Don’t be upset, eldest princess!" Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, why did these words sound so familiar?
The little prince holding a mahogany sword and clamoring to catch ghosts seems to be Xie Yun. She still remembers that she was timid at the time, and she especially admired Xie Yun's courage to die. He came back with a droopy head.

He also told her quietly: "There really are ghosts, and they are female ghosts."

The thoughts came back, the fire in the open space was also extinguished, the portrait was completely burned, Jiang Nan was about to leave, the old eunuch said again: "Princess, don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if this one is burned, your portrait Gaozu painted a lot, I'll hang a brand new pair for you tomorrow, and I guarantee you won't be able to break the incense!"

Jiang Nan looked shocked: "There is more? It's all in...where?"

The old eunuch pointed to another room: "It's in the room where I sleep, in the box under the bed."

Jiang Nan was so busy that she went to dig out the box under the old eunuch's bed.

Not to mention, the old eunuch seemed to be old and not very bright, but the room was kept clean and there was no smell.

There was a large wooden box under the bed. After pulling it out and opening the lid, Jiang Nan was stunned on the spot with just one glance.

A box full of scrolls.

Jiang Nan rubbed his hair. Is there something wrong with this great ancestor?The whole world has been taken away, so why paint so many portraits of the eldest princess of the previous dynasty?
Jiang Nan didn't believe in evil, so she took apart the scrolls one after another. They were all in different styles, with different clothes, different expressions, and various postures.

Jiang Nan sat on the ground slumped, she didn't know how many paintings Gao Zu had drawn, and she was even more unsure if there were others besides this one?

Maybe her little secret has been known to everyone for a long time. I don't know how many people are hiding in dark corners, waiting to see how she will fall from her position as the Crown Princess of the East Palace.

Feeling suffocated in her chest, she ran outside to get some air. Her eyes became clearer and calmer. It was absolutely impossible for her to keep these scrolls in the world. She looked at the old eunuch.

He didn't know where he fell. He was clearly in severe pain, but his eyes were still gentle and loving. He didn't expect Jiang Nan to have murderous intentions towards him.

She hesitated again and again, then stepped forward and struck the old eunuch on the back of his neck, causing him to faint.

The fire started in the old eunuch's room, especially the box full of scrolls caught fire very quickly. After a while, the whole house was ablaze, because the place is remote, and after attracting the attention of the palace people, the fire has reached the point of being uncontrollable. I could only watch helplessly as the house collapsed and was destroyed.

At this time, the prince had just returned from a tour on Zhuque Street and held a banquet in Hanyuan Hall.

A group of ministers followed closely behind.

Chen Yanli drifted listlessly, the entrance to the hall was narrow, the speed of entering the hall slowed down, he stood and waited.

At this time, a little maid stepped forward and whispered, "Third brother, see you 500 meters north."

Chen Yanli regained his energy. When he looked up again, the maid had turned and left. He expected that the person he was meeting was either Chen Jingshu or Jiang Nan.

Walking 500 meters north, Chen Yanli counted carefully, looked around, and saw Jiang Nan standing in the corner, waving to him, so he walked over.
