1-065 The Mystery of the Mourning Hall

Waiting for what? Waiting for her arrival?

Lian Li's eyes closed and she took a deep breath, almost with the determination to die, she pushed away the white silk that was covering in front of her, as soon as she opened it, she immediately raised the candlestick, and the next second she was stunned. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It took Lian Li a long time to come back to her senses, and she couldn't believe her eyes—she really saw a huge mourning hall.

The vast hall is hidden behind a curtain and is simply furnished.

There are spiritual flags hanging all around, there are tablets, incense cases, candles and simple melon and fruit offerings in front, the word "lay" is written on the bucket, and the pairs of incense candles on the table are about to burn out, and the incense table is burning on an ever-bright oil lamp, the flame beats a few times with the wind, flickering and dimming.

A little incense ash fell, and it gently fell in front of someone who was kneeling quietly in front of the table.

The man wore a long skirt like fire and spread out, like a fire lotus burning in front of the table, and gently covered his abdomen with his five fingers that were as red as Dan, the beads were scattered, his long hair covered his face, and his mouth was softly muttering something.

"Queen Mother?" Lian Lili was taken aback, immediately put down the candlestick in his hand and ran forward, and asked eagerly, "Are you okay with the Queen Mother?"

The Empress Dowager Wei Ruoshui did not answer, let her long hair be messy, lowered her head, gently stroked her flat abdomen, and muttered these things.

Lian Lilian shouted several times, and finally realized that something was wrong, she hesitantly leaned closer, and finally heard clearly what the Queen Mother was saying.

Wei Ruoshui was like a demonic barrier, and read two words repeatedly.

"It hurts...... It hurts......" The Queen Mother's voice was elongated, with a near-death gurgling sound in her throat, "It hurts, ......"

Lian Lili couldn't help but take a step back, but he still hesitated to look at her and shouted softly: "Queen Mother?"

"It hurts...... It hurts......"

Wei Ruoshui stroked his abdomen stupidly, and suddenly raised his head slowly, his hair slipped down to reveal a clear face, the pupils on that face were hollowly widened, hanging slightly, and he looked at the direction of Lian Li motionlessly.

"It hurts......," she said expressionlessly, her voice seemed to be contagious, and every emotionless murmur made Lian Li's back even colder, making her legs weak, and she couldn't help but slowly retreat.

She was finally shocked to find that the one who was on the other end of the window paper was Wei Ruoshui, the Empress Dowager of Wei.

"The Queen Mother?"

Lian Li's eyes were fixed on Wei Ruoshui in front of the incense case, and he whispered with a little luck, "Queen Mother, you know me, I'm Li'er......"

Her shouting seemed to have played a certain role, and Wei Ruoshui, who seemed to be in some kind of confusion consciousness, said softly: "Carp?"

Lian Li's heart was happy, grabbed half of the curtain and put it down, took a step forward but stopped hesitantly, she said in a tentative tone: "Yes, I'm Li'er......"

"Carp...... My child ......" The Queen Mother's expression gradually changed to a melancholy look, "What about my child......"

"I'm here......" Lian Li tried to get closer to her, stretched out his hands to try to calm her, and said softly, "What about here......"

"My child...... My child is gone......" Empress Dowager Wei Ruoshui's hand stroking her abdomen tightened, her face changed, and she began to look around in panic, as if she couldn't see Lian Li's side at all.

Lian Li was stunned, and suddenly understood that the Queen Mother seemed to be in some abnormal illusion, or rather, hysteria. Her current mind does not notice herself at all, but is immersed in the hallucinations of illness.

Lian Ligang came up with some clues, and the Queen Mother, who was stunned and didn't know what to think, got up suddenly and knocked her to a stumbling block.

Lian Li subconsciously grabbed the curtain behind him and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"That's not a child of Hongu...... Where is the child of Hongu, my carp is not dead, my child ......"

The Empress Dowager Wei Ruoshui covered her abdomen and looked around in panic, as if she was in a completely unfamiliar place, she began to stop and go, her steps were getting faster and faster, her muttering began to grow faster and faster, and her voice became louder and louder, like a beast that would explode at any time.

Lian Li, who was stunned, looked at this scene, and the fear that she realized after her time finally surged out, taking advantage of Wei Ruoshui's still painful ankle, she crawled under the incense case, covering her mouth in fear, for fear of making a little noise.

Through the gap in the tassel of the hanging case cloth, she saw the auspicious clouds worn by the Queen Mother walking far and near around the phoenix gilt palace boots, and the fear in her heart was even stronger.

Wei Ruoshui, who was searching for something back and forth in the mourning hall, found nothing, her mood suddenly became manic, her beautiful face was a little distorted, she clenched her fists through gritted teeth, paced frantically from side to side, covered her painful head, and began to yell at the empty air.

"That's a child of this palace! That's a child of this palace!"

Lian Li was startled by this roar, and tears almost flowed down his eyes.

She had heard the legend in the palace about how the Queen Mother had given birth to herself among the rebels on the night of the coup d'état, but she did not expect that this painful memory seemed to bind the Queen Mother's mind for so long.

Listening to Wei Ruoshui's roar, she suddenly thought that every year on May 30's birthday, her queen mother all retired early, is it because the queen mother's mood will collapse like this on such a day?

Her legs were still weak and trembling, but Lian Li remembered the queue of imperial guards who were far away from the palace and even a little unsafe, and remembered Shi Lan's explanation.

It turns out that Shi Lan already knew that there would be such a thing?

What do you mean by "not a child of Hongu"?

But I'm still alive, and I've lived so many years......

Who is this mourning hall set up to pay tribute to?

Who died that night?

The fear in her heart overshadowed the intense curiosity and doubt, and Lian Lili covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound, but when she came back to her senses, she found that the Queen Mother, who was constantly walking outside, had quieted down and did not make any sound.

If Wei Ruoshui was still yelling, Lian Lili would not be too scared, but as soon as she quieted down at this time, she felt that the space under the table was very small, and her back needed to be tightly pressed against the wall behind her, and her swollen and sore feet could be sheltered in.

There are too many things happening tonight, Xu Heng, Queen Mother, Xia Xinhe, Migu, Uncle Wang......

She just wants to be an emperor in peace, why did she encounter such a thing?

What secrets are hidden behind the eyes of these people?

There was no longer any sound outside the case, and Lian Li couldn't know where the Queen Mother was now and what she was doing.

Lian Li, who was hiding under the table, covered his mouth, but kept shaking.

She wished that she would stay with Si Kouzhun from the beginning, so that she would not find the mourning hall in the Queen Mother's palace, and such a strange thing would not happen.
