Chapter Twenty-Four: The Horror of the Fallen Garden
"Master, where are you going?" Fu Shun followed Jiang in a fart, his eyes narrowed into a line when he spoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Just now, the Jiang family asked him to take Sun Xuan to Ci'an Palace, but at this time, the way Jiang took was not the way to Ci'an Palace. He is the chief chamberlain of the Imperial City, and there is nothing he doesn't know about in this Imperial City.
"Dethrone Garden!" said Jiang Shi, who was walking with small steps by the maid, with a serious face.
Fushun's body shook when he heard this, and his face changed slightly and said, "Oh, my master, you are a golden body, how can you go to that kind of place!" ā
"After working for the mourning family at such a great age, there is no place in the imperial city that you can't go! When did you, a minion, dare to be the master of the mourning family?" Jiang was in a bad mood and choked him. Fushun was choked with embarrassment, and bowed his head and replied: "The slave doesn't dare!".
I wrapped Dongfang Xun's robe, lowered my head and followed quietly, for fear that I would anger the Jiang family again. I don't know that this walk is going farther and farther, deeper and deeper, and getting darker and darker, and the maids and maids with lamps go to the front to illuminate the road.
The scale of the imperial city is so large, the front is brilliantly lit, and it is extremely extravagant, but in the back it is so desolate and decadent, by the light you can see the barren grass on the road, and the further back you go, the more strange it becomes, and you can vaguely hear the howling and crying of some women, which is enough to make people feel creepy in such a night.
Gradually, the voice became louder and louder: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, spare the concubine, the concubine knows that she is wrong!", this was a woman's hoarse cry, and the woman's sobbing, and there were also some noisy voices.
Everyone stopped, and Fushun whispered to the Jiang family: "Master, it's here!" I looked up and saw that a few meters in front of me was a dilapidated courtyard, the gate was closed, and the sound was coming from inside.
At this moment, "squeak... Squeak...!" The heavy gate opened, and three fathers-in-law came out of it, and one of the older fathers-in-law led the way with a lamp, urging the two younger fathers-in-law: "Hurry, move quickly!", and the two were carrying a long strip of things wrapped in white cloth to the door.
"Wang Fu, don't hurry up and say hello to the Empress Dowager!", Fushun said to his elderly father-in-law with an arrogant and official tone.
The three fathers-in-law were dumbfounded, the older one dropped the lamp, and the younger one put down the things wrapped in white cloth, and hurriedly knelt down: "The slave knocks on the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Jin'an!"
"Get up!" Jiang asked after letting them get up, "What are you doing here?"
The two young ones stood with their heads bowed and did not dare to speak, and the older Wang replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Wu Meiren, who came in last month, hanged herself during the day today, and the minions are cleaning up!", it turned out that the white cloth was wrapped in a corpse.
When everyone heard this, their hearts ached, and there was no one who did not get hairy. I and the other maids didn't dare to make a sound, Dufushun clasped his hands together and said in a girlish voice: "
Amitabha, there's no wonder!". Jiang's expression was still the same, thinking that he had seen more of this kind of scene, and he had already become numb.
"Master, this place is unlucky, according to the opinion of the servant, let's go back to Ci'an Palace quickly!" Fu Shun persuaded the Jiang family, he was extremely disgusted with this place, and when he came over on a dark and windy night in this month, he also met dead people, which made him feel a little more afraid of this place.
"The mourners are sitting upright, and there is nothing to fear. If you are afraid, go back, and the mourning family will never blame you!" Jiang said to Fushun with some sarcasm.
"It's not that the slave is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the slave is afraid that bad luck will pollute your golden body!" Fu Shun said to the Jiang family with a mouth full of grievances.
"Okay, let's go and have a look with the mourning family!" Jiang said, walking towards the door. Wu Meiren's body was wrapped in a white cloth and was placed at the door. When Wang Fu saw the Jiang family coming, he hurriedly asked the little eunuch to carry the corpse to the side, but at this time the Jiang family said: "Don't move, open the white cloth!"
The father-in-law was shocked, they didn't understand why the Jiang family looked at a dead man, they glanced at each other a few times, but they didn't dare to move, if they defiled the holy eyes, it was a capital crime!
When Jiang arrived, Wang Fu said tremblingly: "Empress Dowager, Wu Meiren's death is terrifying......", Jiang said with a displeased face: "Open!"
Wang Fu and the two little eunuchs replied in a trembling voice: "Yes!", and opened the white cloth wrapped in the corpse, and all the people in their normal minds lowered their heads and did not dare to look at it.
The Jiang clan glanced at the corpse coldly, and then ordered me: "Concubine Xuan raise her head and take a good look at this Wu beauty!"
I have never seen a dead person, I didn't dare to look at it with my head down, even if the Jiang clan ordered me at this time, I still kept my head down and didn't dare to look.
Jiang Shi glanced at Fu Shun, Fu Shun came over and stiffened my face, I only glanced at it, and I was nauseated, and my stomach was empty today, and I only spit out some sour water. Wu Meiren was not wearing an inch, her whole body was white, her body was scarred and filthy, the green silk was unkempt, her eyes burst out, and her blue and purple tongue was biting outside, and the situation was extremely terrifying.
"Don't look at her now, she was a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city before her death, and her dancing skills were even better in the world, the emperor abandoned the society for her, ignored the government for three months, and sang with her every night. Jiang ignored the disappearance of such a life in front of him, but criticized everything in her life.
"Her appearance is undoubtedly above you, but in the end, she ended up like this, why do you think that?" Jiang asked me. I don't dare to look at Wu Meiren, she died too desolately. I also understood what Jiang meant, she was using Wu Meiren's story to educate me and warn me not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
I lowered my head and was silent, she was dead, how could the living bear to talk about her right and wrong again. Fushun said to me arrogantly: "Concubine Xuan, the Empress Dowager asked, why didn't you answer?"
"Wu Meiren confuses the emperor and troubles the country, and she can't blame others for such an end. But the concubine wondered why Wu Meiren didn't take an inch? Now that the person is dead, why should she insult her corpse again!" "I don't think she would have hanged herself naked, so where did her clothes go? Everyone is dead, why should she insult her body like this."
"Since a good person is dead, why humiliate his corpse again! Concubine Xuan has not heard that this woman who has entered the dethroned garden cannot come out alive, and after death, she will be clothed, her corpse killed, and wild dogs will be raised?", Jiang said to me a little sarcastically, probably suspecting that I was pretending to be stupid.
"The concubine has never heard of it!" I replied, in order to warn the other people in the imperial city not to make waves, and to set such a rule is simply to destroy human nature, and the person who set such a rule is simply BT.
"Then tonight, you have to remember carefully, you must not be like Wu Meiren in the future, even if she is protected by the emperor, the mourning family can lock her up in the dethroned garden, you should weigh how many catties and taels you have, don't end up like her. Jiang warned me.
"The Empress Dowager is too worried, the concubine does not have Wu Meiren's beautiful appearance and outstanding dancing posture, where will she have the ability to cause trouble. ā
"You can talk! I hope you're not duplicitous!" she said, squinting at me, disdainfully.
"The concubine doesn't dare!" I replied.
"Get her away, this slut is dead, and she still comes to find the bad luck of the mourning family! If it weren't for the mourning family's upright sitting, she would have been scared!" Jiang said disgustedly. She took me to the Garden of Dethronement today to warn me, but she didn't expect to meet the dead Wu Meiren.
The father-in-law replied, "Yes!", and wrapped her in a white cloth again.
A thought flashed through my mind, and I hurriedly shouted, "Please wait!", and everyone looked at me in amazement. I took off my wrapped robe and covered her.
Unexpectedly, she angered the Jiang family, she burst into a nameless anger, and first said to me sharply: "Concubine Xuan, I pity Wu Meiren so much, let's keep a guard for her in the garden tonight!", and said to Fushun: "This matter will be handed over to you, the mourning family is tired, go back to the palace first!", and then took the maids and maids away in a menacing manner. I haven't reacted to this sudden change yet.
"Madam, you are asking for this, but you can't complain about the old slave!" said Fushun, and then said to the two little fathers-in-law, "Get the corpse into the garden." Hearing this, the two little fathers-in-law casually wrapped themselves in white cloth and carried the body back to the garden.
"Madam, please!" Fushun stretched out his right hand and pointed to the inside of the garden.
At this time, I really have a bitterness that I can't say! Just like Fushun said, I really asked for it, Jiang hated Wu Meiren so much, and the humiliation she received after her death made Jiang feel very happy, I was so stupid as to cover up for her in front of everyone, in her opinion, this was a blatant challenge to her authority, no wonder she was angry.
As soon as I crossed the threshold of the dethroned garden, I heard the door squeak ~yo~" shut.
"Hey!" I told, banging on the door, only to hear footsteps getting farther and farther away. The door was locked from the outside, and it seemed that there was no hope of getting out, so I had to turn around to see what the desolate garden was.
The garden is not small, there are three main rooms, and there are two wings on the east and west sides, but it is in disrepair, and there is a sense of wind and rain. There is a big tree more than one person thick in the front right corner of the main house, which is lifeless. Except for a few roads leading to the rooms, the grass was knee-deep and rustling in the grass except for a few roads leading to the rooms. Wu Meiren's body was placed on the ground in the middle of the courtyard, her terrifying face exposed, as if something was circling her.
Strange thing, since I entered the garden, the howling and crying have disappeared, and the garden is very strangely quiet. I looked at the faint candlelight flickering in the main room, and I was so frightened that I hugged my arms and trembled.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the grass, and I looked vigilantly, only to see a black shadow rushing towards me, and when I looked closely, I was so frightened that I froze, holding my head and screaming loudly, "Ahh

A man dressed in white was playing the piano in the Jixue Garden, which had been abandoned for many years, but was interrupted by a noisy sound, and saw a little white face carrying a thin monkey into the garden.
"Childe, I can't hold the fifth brother, please punish Childe!" said to Dongfang with a helpless face, he was one of the five eccentric people under the foggy mountain today.
"Childe! I'm just curious, I want to see what the Imperial City is like! Childe will punish the fourth brother if he wants to punish him, don't punish me!" said the thin monkey one of the five with a hippie smile.
"If you just come to see it, it's okay, don't get into trouble!" The man in white said lightly, this old five is really a good thing, and there is no trouble that he can't get through.
"Childe, how could I get into trouble? I am the most stable among the few brothers! Anyway, this imperial city is nothing good except for being bigger, and the girls here are not as good-looking as those in Mingyan Building!"
The little white face shook his head helplessly, and the man in white just wanted to say that they should go back to the house early, but he heard a woman's scream: "Ahh
