272 Chapter 270
Seeing the repetition means that it is an anti-theft stamp, and after 36 hours of subscribing to less than 50%, you can see that he pushed aside the crowd and was just about to step in, and he also stopped.
Li Xiangying's state is very bad this month, this is obvious to all, he seems to be haunted by something, all day long, in a trance, sometimes in the middle of the night seven nights will make some unreasonable demands to toss people, but also caused the prison to complain.
Under the reflection of the palace lamp, Li Xiangying, who was abnormally thin, curled up in the corner of the courtyard, holding her head with trembling hands. His eyes bulged out, his eyes were glazed, he couldn't even notice if there was anyone around, he couldn't tell the difference between reality and falsehood. Tears fell unconsciously, apparently on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and shouted in horror: "Don't come, I didn't kill you, it's not me!"
He was very thin, his mental oppression made him look more like a ghost than a ghost, and his extreme fear made him short of breath, his brain was starved of oxygen, his vision was blurry, and he could faint at any moment.
Around him, there were clusters of blue-green flames floating in the air, like souls with autonomous consciousness, chasing him up and down with Li Xiangying's movements. Everyone didn't dare to approach, but they couldn't really ignore Li Xiangying, so they all stood far away, gossip was inevitable, and they all said that this was too much evil. There are eunuchs who can't stand it, and they go to ask for the principal.
Fu Chen and the others had just come out of the canteen, and because of the movement here, they ran over, and met Aunt Mei and others who rushed over, at this time there was no one outside Li Xiangying's courtyard door, even Ye Xin, who had always been high-spirited, fell to the ground and trembled and pointed at Li Xiangying, and crawled out of the courtyard, because it was too terrifying.
The blue-green flames still suddenly rose at night, how not to be scary in ancient times when ghosts and gods were worshipped.
In ancient times, it was mostly called yin fire or ghost fire, and in modern times it is called phosphorus fire.
At this time, Li Xiangying was completely stunned, no matter he walked or talked, the ghost fire followed him, it was in response to that sentence that the ghost did not go away, this dark night, this picture alone can make most of them frightened.
Li Xiangying's pace is fast, the ghost fire is fast, Li Xiangying stops, the ghost fire also stops, Li Xiangying gasped, snot and tears flowed all over his face, and a ball of steaming liquid flowed down his crotch, ticking on the ground, and his embarrassed appearance could no longer see the majesty of his usual days.
This dynasty and the previous dynasty are the implementation of burial, when the body is buried after the death of the person will gradually decay, the human bone contains a large amount of phosphorus, the body through alkaline action and other chemical changes, produced a gas called phosphine, its ignition point is low, when the temperature is high in summer, it is easy to spontaneously combustion, and this gas is very light, as long as someone speaks or walks, it is easy to be moved, it looks like a "ghost with people".
It was not easy to achieve this step, and he made a whole month of preparations, just to replace the soil in the courtyard with the soil he needed, he found a lot of channels, planned in detail, waited in waiting, and he used enough patience to lead Li Xiangying into the trap step by step.
The eunuch in charge came, and all the idle people were cleared out, and Fu Chen lowered his eyelids to hide the hatred and murderous aura in his eyes.
Aunt Mei, the only one who realized that this might not be revenge, looked at Fu Chen with fear and disbelief.
When Fu Chen sent Aunt Mei out of the prison barn, she suddenly turned her head and asked Fu Chen solemnly, "Is that you?"
"The ghost is asking for his life, and he can't wander. Fu Chen answered the question, quietly looking at the beautiful face of the woman opposite.
A touch of wetness overflowed from the corner of Mei Jue's eyes, she covered her face, swallowed her choke, and looked left and right.
Everyone was so frightened by today's events that they didn't dare to go out at all, for fear of being found by the unjust soul, and there was no one around, she suddenly knelt down towards Fu Chen, and made a big salute, her slightly trembling body was enough to explain her excitement.
She and Chen Zuoren are not familiar with each other, although Chen Zuoren is impulsive and noisy, he can remember good people, Aunt Mei often gives them these little eunuchs who no one cares about mending clothes and shoes, and there is never less to help. Last winter, Aunt Mei was almost looked at by the emperor, Chen Zuoren "accidentally" sprinkled a pot of coal when he passed by, so that Aunt Mei escaped, this friendship Mei Jue has always remembered in her heart, and since then she has taken special care of Chen Zuoren.
She, like everyone else, knows that she can't take revenge, so she can only take time to numb her heart.
And Fu Chen made her see a kind of hope called struggle, even if this light was extremely weak, but she wanted to do something different to pay tribute to the soul of the deceased. She just, doesn't want to be numb anymore!
Fu Chen didn't stop it, because he knew how stubborn this woman was.
"What else do you need?" Unlike Fu Chen's secret request before, this time it was Mei Jue who took the initiative to ask, and she felt that this was not the end.
"I need some aconitum aconite. Fu Chen didn't hide it, his connections were far inferior to Aunt Mei, who had been in this palace for many years.
She could get something without arousing anyone's suspicion, but he couldn't.
Fu Chen didn't explain, Aunt Mei seemed to have an understanding, she looked deeply at the part between Fu Chen's legs, this is a very rude gaze, even an unmarried woman can never look at this part of a man, it is still bold in modern times, let alone this era of indecent disrespect. And Mei Jue's concentration and solemnity almost made Fu Chen think that the other party had any other thoughts about him, Mei Jue sighed deeply in the middle of the sound, as if she was regretting, "Fu Chen, if you are not...... , what a stunning character. β
After Fu Chen said that he needed aconite, he sent Aunt Mei away and turned around and went back to the prison bar.
Aconite, the flowers are delicate and beautiful, it is a common plant, in modern times, it is often used as a beautifying flower on both sides of the street, there is a royal garden here, but few people know, its root has neurotoxins, after poisoning, it will commit dizziness, vomiting, gradual paralysis of limbs and other symptoms, accompanied by gibberish, delirium, very similar to hysteria, day after day is the gods are difficult to live, die quietly.
As for how to poison Li Xiangying, that smoke pot is the best medium, the more nervous he is, the more he will use these tobaccos to numb his nerves, and Li Xiangying is now unstable, and he is more likely to increase the amount of tobacco, the only thing he should pay attention to is to erase all the evidence afterwards.
From the spiritual hints a month ago, pretending to be a ghost at night, to the ghost fire, and finally dying will only be regarded as a ghost, and the crime is deserved.
Interlocking plans, he is foolproof at every step.
Revenge is never a rhetorical ability.
That night, the people in Fu Chen's house in the prison yard were inexplicably excited, and many people went to Chen Zuoren's bed to touch it and chanted "There is a spirit in the sky".
Since Chen Zuoren left, no one has slept on his bed anymore, which is like a tacit understanding of everyone, they are mourning silently. After more than a month of depression, it finally seemed to be released today, and everyone couldn't hide the joy in their eyes, interpreting the true meaning of the sentence "Knowing that you Li Xiangying is not doing well, we are relieved".
In the dead of night that night, Wang Fugui put his hand on Fu Chen's shoulder and couldn't hide his emotion: "I can finally feel at ease and make a vow with Xiaoyang." β
As early as a month ago, Wang Fugui and Xiaoyang wanted to hold a ceremony to determine the name that should be determined, but then Chen Zuoren and others gave up.
Now that Li Xiangying is living so happily, the couple is willing to perform a belated ceremony.
ββJin Jiang.Du.Jia.Fa.Tableββ
The next day is the day of stubble inspection. In the past, the Internal Affairs Office had to investigate twice a year, but there were still many palace people who had their own ways and wanted to use bribes to avoid this matter, but they were later found out from above, and now no one dares to do this kind of thing. The reason why I want to avoid the inspection is that I just don't want to check the mutilation and humiliation again, and the eunuch is also a human being, and the body that has been seen as lifeless is thousands of times more uncomfortable than ordinary men.
So when Fu Chen saw the ink painting standing outside the prison yard waiting for him early in the morning, he vaguely guessed the purpose of the other party's coming.
"Little Father-in-law, my mother told me to pass the word, if you are uncomfortable, you can avoid it. Mo Hua said gently, but his eyes were determined, and he seemed to be sure that Fu Chen would definitely agree, no eunuch would like this day every six months.
If you agree to anything, you have to pay the corresponding price, but there are some prices that Fu Chen feels that he can't afford to pay.
After making a salute, Fu Chen lowered his long eyelashes like butterfly wings, "Xie Mohua girl, please thank Niangniang for your kindness for the slave, the slave is not uncomfortable." β
Mo Hua obviously didn't expect to be rejected, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't scold angrily, but his eyes clearly said that he didn't know what to do, so he nodded politely and left.
Concubine De can stand tall in this harem for more than ten years, which is inseparable from her low-key style, and the palace maid who was single-handedly transferred by this woman also knows how to advance and retreat, even if Fu Chen is angry in his heart and refuses without hesitation, he has no evil words, and his identity is much higher than Fu Chen, who has no grade now, even if he plays the board, it can be said. This also shows how good his cultivation is, and it is precisely because of this that Fu Chen is more frightened and cautious, and he does not dare to underestimate Concubine De in the slightest.
Concubine De has always been helping him silently, whether it is a food box or avoiding stubble, this is what he needs most at the moment. This kind of behavior is not to mention eunuchs, even ordinary men are difficult not to be tempted, such a woman is the real concubine, the longer she lives in the palace, the more cautious and meticulous she is, often this kind of inconspicuous woman is the most terrifying.
Of course he knew that Concubine De couldn't really have to look at him, this was not Concubine De's temperament, it could only be said that the first love Bai Yueguang had too high a status in Concubine De's heart, so high that it was worth her so much effort to be a stand-in.
The place where the stubble is inspected is the same as the place where the body is purified, and they are both in the Heidaomen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also knew that this was not a good thing, so it also asked people to wait outside in batches, and then went in one by one.
When Fu Chen entered, there were only two record eunuchs, one chief eunuch, and two guards, five, which seemed to be enough.
The chief eunuch is Liu Zong, one of the six chief fathers-in-law like An Zhonghai, who is strict and mainly deals with the affairs of the internal affairs government.
Liu Zong didn't look at Fu Chen, looked at the record book in his hand, and pointed to the bamboo couch behind him, "Fu Chen, take it off by yourself." β
Fu Chen should be, the others were still in place and did not come. Fu Chen reached for his trouser belt.
Suddenly, his face was pale, and he squatted on the ground in pain, gasping for breath, looking like he couldn't do it anymore.
Liu Zong was shocked, and several other people also came over.
"What's going on?"
Fu Chen covered his stomach, frowned, his lips were slightly pale, and he slowly raised his head, "Slave ......"
Those eyes didn't look special at first glance, but they seemed to be as deep as trying to suck people in, Fu Chen's eyes gradually turned a little gray from black, as if sprinkled with a layer of silver frost, dazzlingly beautiful, this was the only golden finger he had crossed over, a small and almost negligible ability: hypnosis.
In modern times, he will do some superficial hypnosis, which can hypnotize patients through language, environment, body movements, etc., but this hypnosis takes time, and the effect of hypnosis varies greatly according to different individuals. If you just bring the ability of the previous life intact, when he puts down a eunuch, it is estimated that he will be surrounded, but fortunately, this ability has slightly deviated after crossing over, and now it can hypnotize less than ten people at a time, and the restriction can only be used once a month, and he gave Chen Zuoren the opportunity last month to leave in ignorance and painlessness.
Because the five of them were close, they all paid attention to Fu Chen, it can be said that Fu Chen created the right conditions for himself, and their eyes became more and more confused, almost dull.
"You go over and take yourself off. Fu Chen looked at them indifferently, casually pointed to a eunuch, and repeated Liu Zong's words just now.
Sure enough, the little eunuch did not shy away from taking off his pants......
The shouting and furiousness gradually stopped, and in this environment that was not at all good, the two hugged each other as if there was a warm atmosphere.
When Fu Chen took the person out of the firewood room, he said gently: "Turn around, don't look at it." β
Shao Huachi tilted his head and pestered Fu Chen, who repeated it patiently.
Sure that Shao Huachi would not see this violent side, Fu Chen's gentle expression was lifted and he walked to the firewood room.
There is basically no firewood in the palace, because I am afraid of running water. In addition to the dining room and some small kitchens in the main hall, there are almost no chimneys to find, and the Chonghua Palace with a small kitchen was also prosperous for a while, but now the small kitchen is temporarily idle, and the firewood room is naturally abandoned together, and it has not been repaired for many years and has become dilapidated.
When he came to the firewood room, Fu Chen's sharp eyes were like a cheetah, exuding a cold light in the dark night.
Taking a deep breath, he lifted one leg and slammed it towards the dilapidated wooden door.
Smack!
The wooden door made a mournful roar, Fu Chen's foot was fast and fierce, and he came a few times before the door was overwhelmed and fell, looking like Shao Huachi had gone crazy and kicked himself.
He couldn't be like last time, when nothing happened, and stuff Shao Huachi back to such a place for a day and a night.
The loud noise made Shao Huachi, who was originally stunned, suddenly squat down with his head in his hands, a little afraid of Fu Chen, such a gentle person, he actually has such a fierce side.
Fu Chen didn't care about Shao Huachi's trembling, and took him directly into the main hall, more cringe than the last time Shao Huachi's whole person was even more cringe, sitting on the spot with his back hunched, not even daring to sit on the chair, only daring to touch his butt slightly, as if he could fall down from above at any time.
Fu Chen touched the top of the messy hair, held the person in his arms and combed his hair, Shao Huachi gradually got rid of the shadow of Fu Chen and got close again. Fu Chen made a basin of water, but he didn't see Shao Huachi's hair for a day, but it seemed to be all knotted, and he dipped some water and took a handkerchief to clean up the dust and debris on it. lit another candle and carefully observed his face, before Fu Chen could get closer, Shao Huachi seemed to feel extremely embarrassed, and actually pushed his head sideways, and couldn't help leaning back unwilling to show Fu Chen, "Woo woo...... Whew"
Fu Chen chuckled lightly and looked at the half of the ghost, "Be a wolf, what's the matter?" β
Shao Huachi was still hiding, not daring to look at Fu Chen.
"It doesn't seem to be completely stupid, don't cover it up, it's not like I haven't seen it, what's so embarrassing. Fu Chen insisted on picking away Shao Huachi's covered hand and examining the wound.
When facing a fool, he felt that the days in this palace were not so uncomfortable, at least he could be a normal person, and he could call himself "I".
Before coming over this time, I asked Wang Fugui to pick out some wound medicine and bring it over wrapped in oiled paper, but fortunately it was used. The tumor on Shao Huachi's face broke, the pus and blood inside dried up, and the wound was full of pits, some scabbed and some festered even more.
"Does it hurt every night?" asked Bian lightly as he washed it.
Shao Huachi didn't understand, but he was very quiet, probably remembering that this was the person who had helped him before.
Fu Chen sprinkled some medicinal powder and applied plaster, the whole process was very light, for fear of hurting Shao Huachi.
Before Fu Chen was about to leave, he once again removed all the traces of his own visit, and fed him pastries, a lot of food in early summer was easy to get rancid, and he specially asked Lao Bahu to ask for something that was not easy to break.
Shao Huachi devoured a lot of food, looking like he was hungry. The number of pastries brought this time was several times that of the previous one, and Fu Chen's chest was bulging when he came, and fortunately, no one would pay attention to how inappropriately a little eunuch was dressed.
put the rest in an inconspicuous drawer, and took Shao Huachi to recognize the place several times.
"I can't come here every day, and when I meet them in the future, you can hide and hide, and when you're hungry, you can eat the pastries I put here. He made another action of eating, and seeing Shao Huachi nodding stupidly, Fu Chen couldn't help pinching the other half of the jade-like face, even Fu Chen, who didn't care about his appearance, felt that he was very good-looking, and inherited Concubine Li's beautiful face.
I don't know if Shao Huachi listened to it, took him to the bed, covered him with a thin quilt, and told bedside stories like he did to his son in his previous life. Fu Chen's gaze stayed on Shao Huachi's ignorant and innocent face, he had watched another person fall asleep like this at the bedside, his gaze became more and more distant, as if he was in a different world......
He once told bedside stories for six years, he could search all kinds of fairy tales from all over the world until midnight when he had to go to bed early every day, he could only cook Western food, he could come back from work and concentrate on studying Chinese meals, and he could be a model worker who could arrive late and leave early every day in order to pick up his son from school.
Fu Chen will always remember the feeling of the sky falling when he received the news of his son's car accident. It was the second winter day after his wife's death, and the snow was piled up on the side of the road, and the day when the snow melted was extremely cold, clammy and cold that pierced the bone marrow. The cold and pale light of the morgue shone on his son's flesh and blood, and he couldn't remember how he walked over and stitched the torn limbs back together, nor did he remember how he collected his son's belongings, and his memory was always stuck in the wooden box containing his son's ashes, the blue-gray sky, and the cold and hard tombstone.
When he was a child, his relatives always said that his father and mother were the fate of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, and he resisted and rebelled.
Until the last few years of his last life, he always wondered why he wasn't the one who died.
"No...... Don't cry. "The staccato voice, like babbling, a temperature that does not belong to oneself touches one's face.
Fu Chen suddenly woke up, touched his face, there was nothing, and then looked at Shao Huachi who was speaking, this was about the first time that the Seventh Prince had spoken after being stupid.
His heart warmed, and he smiled slightly, "I didn't cry, crying requires tears." β
Shao Huachi touched Fu Chen's face carelessly, and he really didn't feel wet at all, and then looked at Fu Chen's eyes, he no longer had that mournful emotion, and looked at Fu Chen strangely.
Fu Chen seemed to coax his son, in his eyes, this prince whose IQ had degraded to a young child, was about the same as a child, and he lightly rested his hand on the other party's quilt, "Sleep, do you still want to listen to the song from last time?"
It was completely dark outside, and the warm yellow candlelight shone quietly on Fu Chen's face, Fu Chen hummed a tune softly, his speech was gentle and slow, and the warm breath flowed in this empty palace.
Until he left, he thought that Shao Huachi had fallen asleep, but he suddenly woke up and grabbed the corner of Fu Chen's clothes.
Fu Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at Shao Huachi, who was not sleepy at all, and understood what he meant, "You don't want me to go?"
Shao Huachi moved over, and half of his face was not disfigured rubbing against Fu Chen's clothes, very reluctant, like a little milk dog.
He seemed to remember what happened after Fu Chen left last time, and he didn't dare to sleep today.
Perhaps sensing Shao Huachi's mood, Fu Chen touched his hair, "Then I'm ......"
Suddenly, there was a sound of unlocking outside the courtyard gate, oops!
Shao Huachi also heard it, and he shouted, "Ah, ah, hide!"
Fu Chen quickly flashed under the only bed in the room that could hide people, and watched two pairs of feet appear in sight back and forth.
Then there was the sound of Shao Huachi struggling, and the curses of the eunuch, Fu Chen could hear from the voice, it was the horse-faced eunuch and the thin eunuch before. They seemed to have stuffed something into Shao Huachi's mouth, Fu Chen could only hear the whining sound, and then he could only see them dragging people away.
From their words, it can be analyzed that it seems to be going to the queen's Changning Palace.
It can be seen from the queen's distribution to Shaohuachi Chonghua Palace that no matter how much the queen tosses in private, it is impossible to treat the seven princes harshly on the surface.
Fu Chen looked at the empty palace and slowly walked out.
Perhaps, as Shao Huachi once said by Yeting Lake, "I thought you would pretend that you didn't see it." β
Fu Chen looked at the palace gate and said to himself, "I can only pretend that I didn't see it." β
ββJin Jiang.Du.Jia.Fa.Tableββ
In the end, Fu Chen didn't give Shao Huachi the shoe he picked up by the lake, maybe just because, he hoped it was just a coincidence.
Fu Chen came to the west corridor of Chuxiu Palace, and the show girl who ran for election in a few days came here to be lively, but now it is still empty, this is closer to the palace maid living in the West Twelve of Longyu, the West Twelve is not assigned to the palace maid collective residence, and Longyu is the name of this area when the capital was first built. The Jin Dynasty used to divide the boundaries between the east and the west, taking the imperial palace as an example, the Yangxin Palace and the Changning Palace as the central axis, the west is divided into twelve, the six supervisors of the Internal Affairs Office, the Jingshi room, the aunt's office, the dining room, the prison and other twelve areas, the east office is also divided into twelve, the harem courtyards, the imperial garden, the prince's residence, the prince's east palace and other twelve areas.
When Fu Chen arrived, Aunt Mei was already waiting there. Mei Jue saw Fu Chen, and approached with light steps, among the palace maids' manners, these aunts should be the most standard, light, soft, and skillful, and their gestures are extremely pleasing to the eye, smiling without showing teeth, and their voices are always soft and soft.
Mei Jue looked left and right, and said softly: "I thought you weren't coming, we've been a little busy there these days." β
"I'm sorry for my aunt, I went to the dining room halfway and was delayed. Fu Chen naturally also knew that Aunt Mei said about the general election, these palace maids would have to be assigned to the palace masters at that time, including their prison yard, and some people would also go to serve the new masters, Aunt Mei was stepping up the training of the little palace maids.
Mei Jue also knew the old Bahu in the dining room, and he loved to talk to Fu Chen in private, and it was not strange to hear it, "It's good to come." I heard that Li Ye was getting more and more embarrassed, and he dragged his relationship out of his own yard, and he was looking for someone to be angry everywhere, you can be careful, he doesn't like anyone now, like a mad dog. Do you still remember that Ye Xin, you took his job to serve Mu Ruida, that Ye Xin was smoked by him several times today, and his face was so swollen that he couldn't see it. I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so I let people take some overnight, do you see enough?"
The slap is a slap in the face with bare hands, and the leather fence is a slap in the face with special gloves, after the beating, it is not visible on the surface, but there is blood inside, which is a more ruthless means of punishment.
Mei Jue opened a paper bag, which was what Fu Chen had instructed her to do outside the prison yard, and she only opened a few aconitum plants that she had just picked, and then immediately closed them and stuffed them into Fu Chen's hands.
Fu Chen nodded, the two of them had an agreed private meeting, and it was not appropriate to stay for a long time.
Fu Chen stuffed the paper bag into his chest, and was about to leave but was stopped by Aunt Mei, it turned out that after the West Twelve Institute got off today, everyone helped Xiaoyang make sugar, although the vegetable household is just a name, but there are too few things that the next person can celebrate, it is difficult to come out, early in the morning, the little palace maids went to the dining room to ask for some leftovers and maltose and sesame seeds, and they made sugar food for acquaintances, and the big guys were happy.
When Fu Chen entered the West Twelfth Institute, the little palace maid walked by talking and laughing, and when she saw Fu Chen, she greeted her, everyone had seen it on weekdays, and she knew her face. Aunt Mei walked inside, and after a while there was a burst of laughter. Xiao Yang blushed and took out more than a dozen bags of sesame candy wrapped in paper and handed them to Fu Chen, "Fu Chen, please share them with everyone in the prison yard, thank you...... Thank them for taking care of Fugui on weekdays. β
