Chapter 53: Strange Things

"Strange things?" said Si Kite repeating the phrase again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info My interest and that of Si Kite were hooked, and we stared straight at Rong Yan, wanting to know what kind of story she would tell, and how strange it was.

"Yes, strange things. Then I listened to Rong Yan's eloquent words: "When Chunhua and I were chatting, I first complimented her with all my heart, saying that now I am also the palace maid in charge, and I don't have to be embarrassed in front of the master, and I am also in charge of a group of palace maids and eunuchs below, which is simply very free." He also said that he should be careful in front of the master, and many times he is not as comfortable as the little palace maid......" Speaking of this, Rong Yan saluted me and said: "Little master, the slave and maid said something that should not be said, please punish the little master." ”

I waved my hand at her and said, "I know you're expedient, and I don't blame you." Go on. What happened later?" during this period of time, Rong Yan seems to have become half of my confidant. I didn't care much about these things, and besides, she said it because I asked her to find out the news, so I don't blame her. Instead, I was more interested in how she found out......

Rong Yan continued: "Thank you, little master. The slave maid was close to her like this, flattering and flattering, and she naturally got a little carried away, and became more and more unstoppable. The slave maid told her that it was a palace banquet recently, and now the palace is really peaceful, calm and quiet like a windless lake, without a trace of waves...... Where it seems to be in the past, either there is something here, or something there. I remember one year, there was a haunted palace during the Chinese New Year!"

Rong Yan paused, and continued: "Originally, the slave maid said this sentence unintentionally, but her reaction became fierce......" As if recalling the expression of Chunhua, the palace maid in charge of the sprinkler sweeping place, Rong Yan continued: "Not only did the tone double, but also nervously told me that there are really ghosts in this palace!"

After that, he learned Chunhua's tone and tone to describe the scene with us: "Don't say it, there are really ghosts in this palace!" Saying that, she also learned Chunhua's sneaky appearance, and said: "She pulled me aside, and then told me that a few days ago, when she sent a few little palace maids to clean the five houses in Qiandong, she heard the sound ......of ghosts crying inside!

Seeing that I was a little confused, Rong Yan explained: "The Qiandong Fifth Institute was originally used to detain some concubines who had committed serious crimes and were disgusted by the first emperor...... It is also commonly known as the 'cold palace' by the people in the palace. The guilty concubines moved into the five institutes in Qiandong, which is equivalent to having no future. There, the palace maids and eunuchs will naturally not be as polite as they are to serious masters, and many concubines have to endure the tribulation. Even if you don't suffer from this, you will be imprisoned day by day, and after a long time, you will be able to drive yourself crazy. ”

Rong Yan sighed and said, "So...... The five institutes in Qiandong are deeply resentful, and many concubines have died. What Chunhua said was that because of the recent New Year's Festival, the Queen Mother gave an order to clean all palaces, which responded to the meaning of removing the old and welcoming the new. This frightened little palace maid is in charge of cleaning up the five places in Qiandong. ”

"Cleaning up the five institutes in Qiandong is a good errand. Because although this place is a bit eerie, it is a place where people do not live. To put it bluntly, the cleaning is not so clean, although the saint has not imprisoned any concubines now, and the concubines of the first emperor are also martyred according to the law, but there is ...... After all, it's a 'cold palace'. There will be no master who is not unlucky and comes here to check it out in person. Even the face-saving minions around the master may not come here in person. So you don't have to work so hard to clean the floor spotlessly. ”

But that day, the little palace maid spent a lot of money, bought off the eunuch in charge, changed a waist card for leaving the palace, went out of the palace and went home, visited her parents at home, and gave them the silver taels for the New Year. After such a delay, it was a little late to come back. I hurriedly went to clean it. It was already a little dusk, and it was getting dark, and it was starting to get dark. Rong Yan said, his eyes were slightly red. Because she is also a palace maid, when she thinks of her father and mother at home during the New Year's Festival, she naturally feels deeply.

Then Rong Yan continued to describe the story of the little palace maid: "The little palace maid thought that she was just sweeping casually, so she carried the lamp and went to clean it alone. But the more anxious you are, the slower it will be. In winter, it was darker than usual, and it was dark in a while, and there was only the light of the lamps she brought in the whole courtyard. ”

After a while, a gust of wind blew out the lamp she had brought, and then she heard a cry coming from the palace, where no one was supposed to live. Whimpering, it sounded particularly creepy in the cold palace of the night. At that moment, the little palace maid ran out crying, and found the aunt in charge, preferring to admit the punishment herself rather than sweep the house. As he spoke, there was a serious and dignified aura on Rong Yan's face.

After a pause, Rong Yan continued: "This is not the most critical ...... The most important thing is that in the past few days, no matter who is sent to clean the five schools in Qiandong, they will hear that cry...... If you report this to the festival, I am afraid that it will make the Queen Mother feel unlucky and cause trouble. He kept it a secret and didn't report it, but he didn't send the palace maid to clean it again. It's just that during the day, a few bold eunuchs were sent to clean up briefly. ”

When the slave heard this, she felt suspicious. The slave maid has been in the palace since she was a child, and she is also a little old in the palace. In this palace, there are a lot of strange things to see. The slave and maid did not believe in the doctrine of the spirits...... There must be something suspicious about this cry. If there is no such thing as a little master, the slave and maid will feel that it is impossible to say which slave in the palace has been wronged, thinking that there is no one here, hiding here and crying secretly. But the little master instructed the slave and maid to investigate some strange things, and the slave and maid had a bold guess in their hearts: Could it be Ling'er who was crying in that palace?

When the slave maid listened to Chunhua's words, she naturally pretended to be really afraid, but in private, she kept an eye on her mind - the slave maid said goodbye to them, and said that when she wanted to go back to the palace, she went to the five institutes in Qiandong! However, when the slave and maid went around to the back of the hall, they found that the lock on the door behind the hall obviously showed signs of activation. Then the slave and maid also heard the faint cry, and the slave and maid listened carefully, and the voice ...... It's really Ling'er!"
