Chapter 245: There is a ghost in my heart
As he spoke, he saw that the middle-aged eunuch with a white face had slowly walked in front of him, and when his eyes fell on Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi, some cunning eyes turned slightly, and then he returned to his calm appearance and bowed forward. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This person is Chang Le, the chief eunuch in charge of all the trivial affairs of Zhenghe Palace, and naturally he is also a close confidant of Empress Zhao.
Because of the support of the queen of the main palace behind him, he also bullies people in the palace on weekdays, showing off his might, and is hated by many people behind his back, but he is also afraid to speak out because of the queen's authority.
"Slaves, see His Royal Highness King Yan, Princess Yan. Chang Le bent his back, and the afterglow of his eyes swept Cheng Jinzhi's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, before he lowered his head and continued, "This is an ominous place where yin qi gathers, and this is just a dead person, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan and the princess are doing here?"
Although Chang Le's tone sounded very respectful, there was a hint of provocation between the lines, which made Cheng Jinzhi feel awkward, even though it was the first time she had seen this person, but in her heart, she had already classified this person and the sinister and cunning queen as a party and labeled it black.
As a close confidant of the queen, since the queen regards Gao Heng as a thorn in her side, and she can't wait to get rid of him quickly, he naturally has the same hatred as his master, only because Gao Heng has a lot of prestige among the princes, is valued by Emperor Zhou, and his personality is always lonely and arrogant, so he doesn't dare to blatantly go against him, so as not to be bored.
"Is Mr. Chang questioning this king?" Gao Heng raised his chin coldly and said expressionlessly, "It's just a nine-secluded platform, this king can come if he wants, do he still have to explain to you?"
"Your Highness misunderstood, the slave had no such intention, but the slave felt that His Royal Highness King Yan and the princess really shouldn't come to such an unlucky place, and it would be bad if they were contaminated with bad luck. Seeing this, Chang Le hurriedly spoke out in a respectful manner, "The slave came this time to clean up the things left by Concubine Jing on the orders of the queen's mother. When Niangniang heard that Concubine Jing was in a horrible state, she really frightened many people......"
Chang Le suddenly paused when he said this, and then looked up at Cheng Jinzhi with pretended concern, squeezing out a strange smile.
"Speaking of which, the slave heard that Princess Yan, you fainted unconscious because of fright after witnessing Concubine Jing's corpse at that time, I don't know if the princess is now in good health?"
"Thank you for your concern, I sat up straight and had a clear conscience, but I fainted accidentally because I was weak at the time, and it was really fine. It's no better than some people who like to hurt people with hidden arrows in the back, and do something that is yin and immoral, if there is a ghost in the heart, it is really incurable. ”
Cheng Jinzhi said with a smile, unhurriedly meeting Chang Le's slightly gloomy, but hidden eyes, which were sharp.
"But speaking of the queen mother, hasn't she been taken away by His Majesty to take charge of the six palaces and confined to the Zhenghe Palace?
"What are the princesses, no matter how His Majesty punishes Niangniang, Niangniang is the queen after all, the lord of the six palaces, which no one can shake. Niangniang is kind and benevolent, and thinks about the order in the palace, so even this small matter has to be personally asked, which is really the blessing of the harem. ”
Chang Le spoke eloquently, but he didn't see Cheng Jinzhi roll his eyes, and after noticing Gao Qi who was standing silently on the side, he turned to salute him again, but his movements were obviously a little casual.
"It turns out that His Royal Highness King Huai is also there, it seems that His Royal Highness heard that Concubine Jing died tragically, so he wanted to comfort Concubine Jing. Also, after all, Concubine Jing is also the biological mother of Her Royal Highness, even if she is already a humble body and her sin is unforgivable, but now that she is dead, you, as a son, should also come and take a look. ”
When Gao Qi heard Chang Le's careless humiliating words, he was naturally indignant in his heart.
But he has always been an inconspicuous prince, and he is neglected by others, even if the other party is just a subordinate, he does not dare to reprimand at will, so he can only swallow his anger in pain.
"Sure enough, what kind of master has what kind of slave, this dead eunuch who is neither yin nor yang, is clearly deliberately trying to find fault!"
Seeing Chang Le with such an abominable face and daring to bully a prince in person, Cheng Jinzhi moved his eyebrows lightly, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly pretended to be very nervous and looked around, then put his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture to Chang Le.
"Shh, Manager Chang, it's not me who scares you, you can talk for a long time, it's better to be respectful to the dead, maybe Concubine Jing's soul is around here." ”
"What... What?"
Chang Le's eyebrows jumped, as if he was a little frightened by Cheng Jinzhi's words, he looked up at the surroundings with a little fear, and let out a sigh of relief, only then did he barely regain his composure.
"Princess, don't laugh, the queen is worried that the death of Concubine Jing will prevalent in the palace with some demagogic ghosts and gods, so she ordered the servants to come and clean up Concubine Jing's cell and burn all her things, so as not to cause panic among everyone. You're... Were you confused by the horror of Concubine Jing's death?"
"Oh, Mr. Chang, I'd rather believe it or not!" Cheng Jinzhi slapped his palm excitedly, approached Chang Le and pretended to be mysterious, "Let me tell you, you really didn't see it at the beginning, when Concubine Jing died, her whole face was purple-red, her neck was broken, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and those eyes stared at you like this, not to mention how resentful!"
As she spoke, her eyes widened, and she curled up two fingers and poked at Chang Le's eyes, so frightened that his eyes closed hard, and he unconsciously took two steps back, and listened to Cheng Jinzhi continue to be alarmist.
"I heard from the two old women in the palace that this kind of death is a hateful death, and he must have been killed by a traitor before his death, and he can only be reincarnated again if he finds the person who killed him after death to avenge his blood hatred, otherwise he will always be looking for someone to possess him, especially those who speak disrespectfully to her......."
Cheng Jinzhi stared at Chang Le with a gloomy face, suddenly his eyes trembled, he looked up behind him, and shouted in surprise: "Oh, look, Mr. Chang, there is a figure floating behind you just now, if you didn't do anything wrong, it must be because of your disrespectful words just now that Concubine Jing heard it, it seems that you are being targeted!"
The killing of Concubine Jing was originally ordered by the queen to send someone to Chang Le, although he did not do it himself, but he could not escape it.
Now that I heard what Cheng Jinzhi said so decently and there were traces to follow, I couldn't help but feel weak for a while, and suddenly turned around to look behind me, and was really scared out of a cold sweat.
