Chapter Seventy-Six: Where the Ghost Is
Fu Xiaohe was confused, so he came to hunt ghosts with this strange woman.
She wasn't that bold. She has no mother since she was a child, grew up with a nurse, and has slept alone since she was ten years old, and she is bolder than ordinary girls.
However, as soon as she entered the Qianxin Palace, she heard rumors that the West Courtyard was haunted, and the West Courtyard was so desolate and gloomy, she was alone and isolated, and when she heard those strange noises every night, she didn't see anyone, so she gradually believed those rumors. After being tortured like that for a few nights, a single stir was enough to scare her half to death, especially with her own eyes tonight.
But why did this woman pull herself to catch ghosts? Could it be that she, like them, was also trying to tease and bully herself?
Hiding in the grass, Fu Xiaohe's face turned pale with fright. She clung to the placket of the people around her, in case she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
If the ghost comes, the two of them will be eaten by the ghost together, and see that she is still playing tricks on herself!
Fu Xiaohe thought to herself.
Gu Shuiyue naturally didn't expect the ideas of the people around her to be so rich. She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and even if there are ghosts and gods, no one is terrible. According to Fu Xiaohe, it is obviously a man.
"It's coming. Gu Shuiyue said in a low voice.
Fu Xiaohe's eyes widened, and sure enough, he heard footsteps. She trembled with fright, and couldn't help but move closer to the people around her.
Soon, a white figure floated over, white clothes, scattered black hair, miserable white face, and a red tongue, just like what I had just seen!
Fu Xiaohe almost screamed, but Gu Shuiyue covered her mouth.
Gu Shuiyue picked up a stone and hit it out, and the ghost that was originally floating suddenly disappeared!
"You...... Are you really good at catching ghosts? Are you a Taoist priest?" Fu Xiaohe said dumbfounded.
"......" Gu Shuiyue pulled Fu Xiaohe out of the grass, pointed to the white figure lying on the ground, and said, "There are no ghosts, they are people." ”
Fu Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the white figure had not disappeared, she walked over, pulled its hair, tore off its tongue, and revealed a familiar face with some fierceness.
"It's Mama Wang!"
Mama Wang is the old mama next to the Zhou family. Thinking like this, Fu Xiaohe quickly figured it out, it turned out that it was not a ghost who scared herself these days, this was actually a means for Zhou and Gao Xiuyan to bully themselves!
A hint of resentment flashed in Fu Xiaohe's eyes.
Mama Wang was just knocked unconscious, and after a while, seeing that she showed signs of waking up, Fu Xiaohe was a little scared.
"Let's go. ”
Gu Shuiyue held her chin and thought for a while: "Don't you want to take revenge?"
"Behind the Zhou family is Gao Xiuyan, and Gao Xiuyan is the daughter of the Taiwei. I can only stay away, where to take revenge. Although she said this, she was very unwilling in her heart, and the resentment in her eyes could not be hidden.
Everything has a limit to patience, but the more she endures, the more Gao Xiuyan bullies them. They take complete pleasure in bullying her, and maybe one day they will die at their hands.
On what basis do they decide their life and death, just because their status is more noble than their own?
Gu Shuiyue turned her head and wanted to leave, Fu Xiaohe plucked up her courage, grabbed her hand, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Think, I want to take revenge." ”
She has had enough of being bullied by Gao Xiuyan.
"How can I get revenge?"
Gu Shuiyue glanced at Fu Xiaohe, leaned into her ear and whispered.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. ”
Mama Wang's head hurt a little, as if something had knocked on her head. She woke up, looked around, and thought of the task given to her by the young lady, and hurriedly got up.
She had to scare the new woman out of her way today, or she wouldn't have been able to deal with the young lady at all.
Mama Wang picked up the tongue that had fallen on the ground, put it back on, her hair covering half of her face, and walked towards the woman's room.
She lowered her footsteps and walked to the door, her knuckles banging on the door indiscriminately, making a high-pitched sound. Unexpectedly, as soon as she exerted her strength, the door was pushed open, and when she saw the scene inside, she was so frightened that her whole face was distorted, and she even forgot to scream.
I saw a person hanging from the railing of the room, his long black hair was scattered, covering his face, and his white clothes fluttering in the wind, this scene looked even more creepy in the cold night.
The scene in front of me overlapped with the story that had been circulating in the Qianxin Palace. Legend has it that there was a woman hanging herself in the West Courtyard before!
As soon as Mama Wang's eyes closed, she fainted.
"That's enough, come down. Gu Shuiyue walked out of the shadows and said to the people hanging on Henglan Mountain.
Fu Xiaohe took his head out of the rope and looked at the person lying at the door, only to see Mama Wang lying there on her back, her face still with the horror before she fainted, her saliva and tears were smeared, and her appearance was extremely ugly.
Fu Xiaohe's heart rose with a strange pleasure, this is the 'ghost' that has been scaring her.
On the second day, Gao Xiuyan got up early and got together with Zhou, a little eager to know what happened last night.
"What about Mama Wang, was she scared to death last night?" asked Gao Xiuyan.
Zhou's brows furrowed slightly, as if she was a little absent-minded, and when Gao Xiuyan asked, she also nodded indiscriminately.
Gao Xiuyan was suddenly a little unhappy: "Zhou Xin, are you perfunctory to me?"
Zhou Xin hurriedly said: "Sister Gao misunderstood, it's just ...... Mama Wang is still nowhere to be found. ”
At this moment, Mama Wang walked in from outside, but her description was not neat, and her face was a little pale.
"Mama Wang, where have you been?" Zhou Xin asked.
Mama Wang said with horror on her face: "Miss Gao, Miss, there are ghosts in the West Courtyard, the old slave saw it last night, hang there, hang the ghost!"
Mama Wang's words were upside down, as if she was frightened.
"I told you to be scared, why were you scared by ghosts?" Zhou Xin said unhappily.
"Miss, there really is a ghost. Mama Wang told the story of last night, and she told it vividly, and in order to make the young lady believe that she did not blame herself, she also added fuel and vinegar.
Gao Xiuyan and Zhou Xin glanced at each other, and both of them saw fear in each other's eyes.
Mama Wang's words planted the seedlings of fear in their hearts, and they didn't expect that what they used to scare Fu Xiaohe turned out to be true.
"We still use it to scare Fu Xiaohe, will it target us?" Gao Xiuyan said fearfully, "Look at your good idea." When she comes, she will look for you!"
Zhou Xin had scolded Gao Xiuyan many times in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only bite his lip and admit it.
Because of this pressure, Gao Xiuyan's temperament retracted.
After breakfast, the old lady in the palace came to teach them etiquette.
Gu Shuiyue came with Fu Xiaohe, and when the two arrived, the old lady had already arrived. That old lady is the person next to the queen.
When she saw Gu Shuiyue, she saluted Gu Shuiyue: "You are Miss Gu." ”
Gu Shuiyue nodded.
"Your Majesty specially explained to Niangniang and asked the old slave to take care of Miss Gu. ”
This old lady was originally an unsmiling character, and she was only polite to Gu Shuiyue, and treated everyone else equally.
Because of this, Gao Xiuyan's eyes looking at Gu Shuiyue were even more unkind.
His Majesty confessed, these words kept echoing in her mind. Could it be that the position of Concubine Xian really has to be given to this woman surnamed Gu!
Gu Shuiyue didn't want this honor at all.
Let her learn the etiquette of the palace with the new harem woman, and then treat her specially, obviously to pull hatred for her and make her feel bad. Among them is the daughter of a lieutenant.
Now, she has successfully attracted Gao Xiuyan's hatred.
Endure silently like Fu Xiaohe and accept it obediently, this is obviously not Gu Shuiyue's way of life.
But if you use means to deal with Gao Xiuyan, it will offend the Taiwei Mansion and deepen the hatred between the Yunwang Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion, which will be unfavorable to the Yunwang Mansion.
In the process of learning etiquette later, Gu Shuiyue withstood all the firepower from Gao Xiuyan.
On the first day, the old lady talked about some taboos in the palace.
Jealousy of arrogance, jealousy, theft, and deception of the Lord.
"Sister Zhou and Sister Su and I are all from high-ranking families, and my father and mother have taught them to be loyal to the monarch and love the lord since they were children, so naturally they will not drive out the matter of seducing the monarch, but some people, at first glance, they are foxes, except for a face, they have no ability. Such a person, who has served His Majesty, will only confuse the Lord. Gao Xiuyan pointed at Sang and scolded Huaidao.
"Although Miss Gu's family is in the middle of the road, she has a good character. Miss Gao doesn't have to worry. The old lady said.
Gao Xiuyan suddenly became angry: "Mama, are you protecting her like this?"
She has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and everyone is centered on her. This old lady actually protected her surname Gu like this, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
The old lady seems to be protecting her, but in fact she has been harming her.
In order to prevent Gao Xiuyan from staring out a hole in her, Gu Shuiyue felt that she couldn't be silent.
"I won't confuse the Lord, because I didn't come to the palace to serve Your Majesty. I already have a marriage contract, and I came to the palace just to learn etiquette. Gu Shuiyue said.
Gao Xiuyan was still glaring at her, as if she couldn't react: "You...... You're not here to serve Your Majesty?"
Gu Shuiyue looked at her with a harmless and sincere face: "The stars can't compete with the moon, there are a few mothers and jades in front of me, how can I get into the eyes of Your Majesty? Miss Gao, don't be blinded by being instigated, Miss Gao is naturally beautiful and has a dusty temperament, so you don't have to worry about anything, because no one here can shake your position at all. ”
Gu Shuiyue has seen through Gao Xiuyan's character.
A woman like her doesn't actually have any scheming, but she's just competitive.
If she wants to be strong, then she will give it to her. She likes to be held, so she can hold her.
Gao Xiuyan bit her lip and thought for a while, then said, "What you said does make sense, it's me who want to do it." ”
However, the old lady who was teaching on the side was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that her day's hard work would be dissolved by Gu Shuiyue's words!
